Young Stockers Are
Scarce in Keith County

II. w. Blomenkamp was in from
Keystone with six loads OF fed
steers which were OF sufficient
quality to sell for $7.S5 a hundred.
He said there was a large number
OF cattle in the feed lots in Keith
county but that young stockers we're
scarce and prophesied many empty
iced lots before the season was over.
Mr.. Blomcnkamp was accompanied
to the market by H. w. Winterer.
retired stockman OF Keystone, and
he expressed the opinion that in the
next 10 years stockmen, farmers
and producers in general will get
better treatment than they are get
ting at present. He said there would
be realization that the producers
are one of the most important fac
tors in the business life of the coun-
try and that there would be a move
ment to give them more of a square
deal than they are getting now.

Why not have Marshal Joffre turn

"A trench spade is small and could

for the great French warrior to use

above by Wednesday,.

A meeting of the schools invited to

be made to perfect an organization.
Probably nothing further will be done

as previously announced they are

North Dakota, Creighton University.
State College.
The three other institutions which
have been invited, but which have
not been heard from, are the Michi-
gan Aggies. University of South Da-
kota n Marquette. The Michigan
Agricultural ! College is a pretty big
school to be taken into a conference Of
it does not seem probable on the face
that it will come in. Marquette will
probably join as will the University
of South Dakota.
One School q Surprise.
The announcement that the st.
Thomas coach has signified his will
ingness to enter such a conference
comes as a surprise. for the reason
thai St. Thomas is already a member
Of the Minnesota state college con
ference and was one of the first to en-
courage the discontinuance Of the old
Tri-State organization. The Saints
would probably have to discontinue
membership in the Minnesota confer
ence if they became members of a new
body.
1t is hoped by most people interest
ed in college athletics hat something
will come Of this attempt. as some
sort Of an organization fer the schools
named is needed badly.

of North Dakota, had the fol
to say:
ANY Conference Good.

Any Conference Good.
THE proposed Big Nine confer
ence has a lot of good possibilities. /
am sure the athletic authorities of
North Dakota will get behind the
proposition and help put it over. Any
conference is better than no confer
enc at all. and a strong conference
has every tendency to Keep college
and university athletics clean and
between Yale. Harvard and Prince
ton, has. without any argument or
wrangling, brought and kept their
athletics to a perfect standard of
cleanliness and craftsmanship. What
these three institutions are dong, can
he accomplished by others.
The Big Ten" conference will
reach the same high standard in the
very near future. lust because a few
Purdue and Notre Dame were recent
ly declared ineligible for professional
ism, is no criterion that u athletic
standards are d~eteriorating. On the
other hand. they are improving each
year.
Not on Down Grade.
1T is unfair to the hundreds of in
situations in this country to say that
athletics are on the down grade just
because Il dozen or SO atnleteS at q
few institutions are declared ineligi-
BILE because Of professionalism. The
quick action of the University of Hi
nois athletic authorities is the policy
that will bring the athletics of the
country to a perfect standard. Illinois
did not wait for the big Ten" con-
ference to take action in the matter.
They were aware of the fact that TN.
rules of the conference had been brok-
en-. and rather than try to cover up
the matter. they pried off the lid
themselves.
ANY eight or ten schools that will
form a conference and draw up rules
of eligibility and do all that is possible
to see that the rules are lived up to,
are bound to benefit athletics. But, IL
one institution in any conference does
not live up to the rules. that institu-
ton is a detriment tt the welfare Of
the conference and athletics in gener-
al.
