EXTEND LUCE line

The Madison Sentinel publishes an
announcement which is claimed 20 be
absolutely reliable to the effect that
the Luce Electric Short line will make
extensions of their line west of Hutch
inson, Mimi, this spring. Colonel Luce
is quoted as saying, Cant say posi-
lively how far we will go, but | am in
hopes quite a distance. We started
last Monday filling in a pond We have
TO cross in leaving Hutchinson aid we
are in hopes to continue grading Ghen
the weather is favorable" This is the
first construction work that nas been
done on the Luce line since the war
broke out putting a stop to all extern
sions. Many Bookings residents who
are stockholders and otherwise inter
ested in the electric railway will vel
come this news.
A letter received yesterday from F. r.
Swanson, secretary to Col. E. ID. Luce
of the Electric Short Line Railway Co.,
and addressed to the Register, verifies
the statement that work on extension
vest from Hutchinson will commence
this year. Mr.. Swanson says, "Col.
Luce is out Of the city at present, but
for your immediate information beg to
advise that it is my understanding that
there will be a certain amount Of con
struction done"

WHO is THE HUGGER?

The young women of Brookings
have been terrified during the last
week or more by the actions Of an un-
identified man who has uncomfortable
proclivities to seize any young woman
who happens to be abroad alone at
night and embrace her. According to
reports he employs no undue violence
so as to seriously injure any Of his
victims but usually after a moments
struggle releases them and fees. AL
though he has attacked nearly a
score Of young women he has es-
capped capture in every instance, and
his identity Is a deep mystery. That
such repeated attacks could be made
with such frequency seems almost un-
%believable in this law abiding and well
protected city.
The state Of affairs has become SO
aggravating that the city commits
sioners have offered a reward Of $25

be made to make the streets Of Brook

MEN-BOYS'

The annual Men and Boys banquet
Of the Baptists was held in the base
ment Of the church, the fine supper
being served by the ladies Of the
church, and music being furnished by
Professor Christensen and orchestra.
The number of men and boys in at
tendance was more than 60 and the
interest ran high at every moment.
The program was Homegrown and
greatly appreciated. L. Atkinson led
off with a witty speech on How Boys

pen spoke to the theme How My Boys
Educated Me-" and he gave a fine por-
trayal of the true relation OF fathers
and sons. Vernon Ondell, a student
of the college, pleased everyone with
a clarinet solo. Prof. y. l.. Snader
gave a well thought-out talk on Some
Things Boys Do not Need" dwelling
especial on evils of the pool hall. The
subject of bringing Up Father" was
taken, for the boys, by Harold Beatty,
and 1t was a clever and well-wrought
talk given with modesty and poise that
were very pleasing. A male quartet
was announced and when Professors

MAY GET BIG TRACK MEET

Brookings and South Dakota State
college have made the most attractive
offer in their power to bring the first
annual track meet Of the newly or
ganized North Central Intercollegiate
conference to State college on May q.
The athletic board of the college has
sent an invitation to all colleges in
the conference with a guarantee OF a
sum larger than the college has ever
before made for any athletic event. In
addition they will supply gold, silver
and bronze medals for the winners Of
each event.
If this meet is brought to Brookings
it will be an epoch in local history.
No track event ever held in the state
could in any way compare with the
size and Importance of this meet which
would include the teams from st.
Thomas, Creighton, North Dakota u,
North Dakota State, Des Moines uni
versity, Morningside college and State
college besides those from other
schools who decide to join the confer
ence before the meet.
The event is to be designated the
Conference Track and Field champion
ship and all first places made in the
meet will count as permanent records
of the new conference. This phase Of
the contest will prove a great drawing
card as fans will be eager to compare
records made in the new conference
with those made in the Big Ten and
other associations.
State college has a strong lineup
for track this spring and will probably
make a better showing in this branch
than they have made for many years.

the situation, and an examination of
the various factors which make or

First-Barring unreasonable wealth

Second-Thirty to 40 per cent Of

most of their debts and be practically
back to normal financially.
Third - Financial conditions and
profits among farmers will be back
to about S5 per cent Of normal by the
end Of 1923.
Fourth-Complete normal prosperity
will have been attained by farmers
by the end Of 1924.
Fifth-Before the end of five years

such a sound, substantial and perma-

farmers generally will enjoy a state
of average continuous prosperity new

CAPTURES
DISTRICT TITLE
HOPES OF VOLGA, ARLINGTON
AND sRookINGs MEET
DISAPPOINTMENT
LOVING CUP AWARDED TO ARLINGTON
Immense Crowds Here for District
High School Basket Ball
Tournament

All dope came to naught in the high
school basket ball tournament held
here last week, when White high
school stepped into the limelight and
wrested the championship of district
number two from the much touted
teams of Arlington, Volga, Brookings
and Hetland. All the more remarkable
was the fact that the White team was
handicapped by the illness Of it's play
ers and despaired of being able to play
at all. Bergman, the star White for
ward got up out of a sick bed, and led
his team to the championship.
The final game of the tournament
was played between White and Airing
in a clean cut victory for White, 26
to Is. Arlington had the advantage in
the first half Of the contest keeping in
the lead consistently but in the Sec
ond period White came back in whirl-
wind style and evened up the score.
Within two minutes they were lead
ing and they kept up the pace to the
end of the game. 1t was one OF the
best played games of the tournament.
While Arlington lost the championship
they were awarded the loving cup pre-
scented by State college for the best
appearing and most sportmanlike
team in the tournament.
When the tournament opened the
general dope seemed to point to Volga
as the easy winner of the tournament
and this was proclaimed by the large
delegation of Volga ~rooters, who were
on hand Friday afternoon to witness
the clash between the Brookings and
Volga teams. The armory was packed
with as large a crowd as ever watched
a game since the building was opened.
The Brookings boys were filled with
determination to humble their old
rivals and the game was the closest
and most exciting Of any in the whole
tournament. One team was leading
one minute and the other the moment
later, keeping the spectators on their
toes and roofing their loudest at every
score. When the final whistle blew,
Volga was leading Is to 10.
Volga met her Waterloo in the game
with Arlington. Over confident Of
winning, the Volga boys left a loop
hole in their defense and the Airing
ton boys run up a nice lead at the
start. Volga fought valiantly but they
could not master their rivals, and lost,
"a to 81.
Elkton took the first game from
Clear Lake 20 to 10, but lost to Airing
ton 25 to Is in the next series. Gary
Met Arlington in the first round and
lost 23 to 10. Hetland won a closely
contested game with Henry and step
ped out with still more speed and de-
feated the fast Toronto team 81 to 8.
Hetland met White in the semi-finals
and White emerged victorious "a to IA.
A mythical district team was chosen
the honors going to the following play
ers: forwards, Mahoney Of Hetland,
Bergman of White, Jones of Arlington,
NJ. Martinson of Volga; centers, Hax-
ton Of Arlington, A.. Martinson of
Volga; guards, Callahan of Arlington,

Morning Before Thanksgiving.

RoscmOnt school building, one of
the best negro school buildings In the
county, was totally destroyed by fire
Of unknown origin Friday morning,
November oath. The school is located
several miles to the right Of Cross
Hill. When first discovered about 10
o'clock in the morning the flames had
already advanced so far that neither
the building nor any of its contents
could be saved. So far as Is known,
the building was empty wnen the fire
occurred.
The Rosemont school was built un-
der the Rosenwald fund and was in
srred with the state sinking fund for
$2,25O, the only negro school in the
county being insured. NJ. j. Miller
agent for the sinking fund, came to
| Laurens Monday morning following
| the fire and made a settlement of the
policy in full. The trustees OF the
school have already laid plans for re
building at once and will build prac,
tically on the same lines as the ole
building.
Speaking Of the fire yesterday, supt
i Of Education r.. II. Wilson said tha
the trustees of the school were yer.
fortunate in having the building in
sured. All of the white schools Of tn
county, he said, are insured with tn
state sinking fund commission.
