STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was fair to good. Retail trade
stimulated by winter weather, holiday
buying, active employment and Christ
mas fund distributions, Year-end trade
better than year ago. Wholesale and
jobbing trade q%uieter, but first quarter
of 1923 secure. Iron and steel more
active and iutput better. Railways
buying. Building, materials active de-
spite advent of winter. Coal sells bet.
ter. Car supply larger and lumber
movement freer. Big November build
ing total. Cotton consumption close to
peak Of war years. Retail trade nearly
one-fourth better than year ago. Cot
ton goods tirmer. Spotted buying in
parts of Northwest, Southwest and
South, but >grain at highest levels of
season. New peaks for month and
year in automobile output. Weekly
food index higher after hesitation.
Failures fewer. Winter wheat crop
fair.

Budget Board Favors
A Building Program

After looking over State college and
board of the state Legislature last
Thursday all seemed to think that
President Willis e, Johnson asked for
nothing that the college should not re-
ceive beyond all question. The ap-
preparations requested by President
Johnson for the next two year period
are in keeping with the spirit of the
times, following the utmost frugality
in every department. For mainten-
ance only $317,50O per annum is asked,
the last two year period, while the col
lege enrolment increases about thirty
per cen each year.
Only one new building is asked for
in the next two year period and that
is something that has always been
needed at State college, a library. The
Legislature is being asked to appropri-
ate 5000, 900 to build a memorial IL
brary building at State college. About
sixty thousand dollars were asked for
repairs to present buildings on the
campus, ~remodeling and other changes.
The board members who were in the
city last Thursday included Senator
e. w. Ericsson, Representative f. O.
FrescOln, Senator c. ID. Erskine, Rep
resentative John S~tenning, Hugh
Smith, chairman Of the tax commits
sion, Milo Drake, deputy state auditor,
and L. f. OIdaker, secretary. The
board members spoke in chapel Thurs
day morning and were guests at the
KiWanis club at noon where they ad-
dressed the business men briefly. Rev.
Erskine made one remark in his
speech that made a deep impression,
when parents are looking for a school
to send their children they first look
at the environment Of the school, and
| say to you that there is nowhere in
the state Of South Dakota a more
wholesome, moral and Christian en-
vironment for a college than in Brook
ings."
The general sentiment of the board
was in favor Of appropriations for ade-
quate maintenance of our state educa-
tional institutions and they favored
the beginning Of a definite building
program for each school so that South
Dakota may take it's place with other
states in the matter of higher educa-
ton.

Basketball Team Starts
Tour This Week

Showing remarkable early season
form, members or States floor team
should be going at top speed on their
invasion of Minnesota and Iowa, dur
ing the holiday season. At that time
South Dakota State college meets
teams in five basketball contests.
Starting practice the first of Decembe'
and with only three weeks to get their
team in shape, Coaches West and
EnEe have had to drive their men in
stiff conditioning work, perfecting
plays, and scrimmage with the husky
Aggie team, which is playing a separ-
ate schedule of it's own.
Injuries received in football will
keep Thompson, guard, and Thune,
center, from making the trip, as they
probably will be unable to play until
the middle OF January. Their loss will
not be felt seriously, however, as new
men are showing up well in their
places.
The team has a brilliant record to
uphold from last year, when they won
30 out of 35 games, Creighton and
North Dakota Aggies being the only
teams who could down the J~ackrabbits.
Last seasons team also took a trip
into Iowa and Minnesota and won
seven straight games on the tour with
out being defeated. The first game
is with the Rochester Aces at Ro-
chester, Mimi. this week.

Big Facts in Simple Questions
DO you LIVE BY PROXY?
By Rev. S. S. Began

DO YOU LIVE BY PROXY?
/ Why plant corn, wheat and
other grains? Just to pass the
time away and see it grow? By
no means.
There would be no planting of
grain of any sort, but for the
probable and expected harvest.
The profit of, a farm is neither in
the planting nor the growth, but
in the yield. First the blade.
then the ear; after that the full
corn in the ear. When the fruit
is brought forth Immediately he
putteth forth the sickle, because
the harvest is come. Mature
fruit and ripened grain is the
measure of gain and is the aim
and purpose of all husbandry.
We all know that planting
must be done in seed tine. cult
walton in growing time, and har-
vesting must be done when the
crop is ripe. Spring, summer
and autumn are not arbitrary
differences in seasons, but essen i
tial to the planting, growth and Il
'ipening of the grain. There is Il

Two separate Investigations into
the mysterious death OF Gertrude
Hanna. 2s-year-old school teacher,
whose body was found in the un-
occupied United Presbyterian par
sonage las, night. were launched TO.
day by Chief OF Police Bogart and
County Physician !. G. Fisher.
Based on physicians finding that
Miss Hanna was approaching ma.
,ernity. Chief Bogart began a search
early today for s,s young men who
will be questioned.
One man has already been quizzed.
bu, the chief refused TO say whether
any new light had been thrown on
the girls death.
Friends OF the dead girl were at
loss TO explain her death. She was
said TO have had no love affairs.
Opinion was divided between the
murder and the suicide theory. The
girls father. William T. Hanna. a
mill owner. said his daughter had
never threatened suicide. The base
men, room in which her body was
found, however. was fastened from
the inside. Absence of indications
OF violence also led some to believe
that death might have been self
inflicted.
States Attorney Lewman an
nounced today, following an all-night
investigation into the death OF the
young woman that he was not GER
tain that the case involved murder,
and indicated that no further action
would be taken until post
mortem examination had established
that death was not the result Of self
administered poison.
