A Painful Lesson.

Old Mother Nature.
There Is nothing in the world so
provoking as to be ignored. This
means to be taken no notice Of what
ever at a time when you want to be
noticed. The young. Fox who had
started out in the Great World was
being ignored by rrekly Porky the
Porcupine, whom he had met on the
Lone Little Path in the Green Forest.
The young Fox might have been
stick or stone for all the notice
Prickly Porky took of him. Prickly
Porky simply kept slowly shuffiing on
his way, talking to himself in fret
full voice.
The Young Fox quite lost his tenn
per. l was the FIRST time he had ever
seen Prickly Porky. He hadn't known
that there was any such fellow in all
the Great World. OF course, he should
have found out all about him before
venturing very near him. That is
what he had intended 70 do III the
first place. But when he lost his tenn
per he forgot. Must people do forget
when they lose their tempers.
II rrickjy PurE,y had taken any no
tice of him whatever, the Young Fox
.probabIy would have rcmem bcred and
would have been careful. But to be
treated as if he were nothing more
than Il stick or Il stone was more than
the young Fox could stand. He was
bound that he would make this home
ly, impo'ite fellow take some notice
of him. He moved so slowly that the
young F'uN at last lost al fear of him.
He sappei and backed in Prickly
Porky's very face. He ran around
him cxcitealy. once he even jumped
over him.
But Prirkly rorky kept on his way
quite rs if the Young Fox. was not
there at all. He didn't even rattle the
! thousand Iittlr Sue;srs in his coat as
! waning. for he saw that this was a
young Fox who had Yet much to

lie opinion is more than offSetting the
legal disadvantages. AS things now
stand, it's the men who need pity and
help when they come before the bar
of public opinion.
l am going to cite an actual case,
of which I knew personally. An ell
derly minister was charged with
grossly wronging a young girl. This
girl was known to be excitable and
undependablc. but as soon as the
charge was made her past history was
forgotten. At once the kindly old
man was branded as a monster. Be
fore there was even Il pretense of a
trial his guilt was fixed in the public
mind.
When the trial came the girl gave
the story in revolving detail. 1t was
obviously meiodramatic. and at vari-
ance with everything that was known
of the minister's life and psychology.
That. however, made no difference.
In such an affair the public expects
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. il. in fact--and
no statement is too sensational for
belief. Then. just as suddenly as she
had brought the charges. the girl
broke down and confessed that she
had made up the whole thing. The
entire story was the fabrication of 4
neurotic mind and should have been
so received in the first place.
With the confession the chapter
was finished for the girl. 1t was fin
ished. too, for the old minister. Heart
broken at his shame, he killed him
self. This story is in no way unique.
Similar cases are occurring every day
in all walks of life. Any hysterical
or malicious woman can wreck a
mans reputation at her will. Lee
gally the man may seem to have re-
dress, but practically he has none
If he flights back" he is called cad.
If he remains silent, he is branded
guilty"
In every sort of conflict between
men and women this applies, whether
it be in the dissolution of an unhap-
py marriage or the facing of a hid
eous frameup'-always the woman
is presumed to be innocent and the
man guilty. 1t is outra geous. How
much have you done to further such
an institution, my friend, by your
snapshot Judgment?

Bandits Blow up
Bank at Elkton
Secure $4,000 in a Daring
Robbery; Cut Telephone

thugs secured over $1,000 in cash and
made their escape early Tuesday
morning. Long distance telephone
wires leading oLt of Elkton We're cut
before the robbery to prevent the trac-
ing of the bandits. The noise of the
explosion woke Charles Hoenke of
Elkton, who ran down to the bank to
investigate but the bandits sliced him
and tied him. He was left lying in
the bank when the robbers escaped.
The robbery occurred between two and
three o'clock in the morning.
Three strangers who had arrived in
Elkton the day before, were suspected
Of being implicated in the deal and
they were arrested early Tuesday
morning and brought to Brookings for
incarceration in the county Jail. 1t is
thought that there were four men in
the gang, but the fourth is not yet APP

Russian Professor
Inspects College

In order to carry bach to Russian
agricultural experiment stations first
hand information concerning latest
ronOmy, as worked OFT here, Professor
n. NJ. Tulaikov, president of the Rus
sian Institute OF Experimental Agron-
omy at Petrograd, has just completed
an inspection of these departments Of
the South Dakota agricultural expert
ment station. Other experiment sta
tons of the northwest, including those
OF Canada, will be visited by the Rus
sian scientist with the idea Of observ-
ing the work in soil improvement and
soil crops. The South Dakota station
was one of the first to be visited.
The deelopment OF agriculture and
greater production are being stressed
by the government of Soxiet Russia
today, and the representatives sent TO
this country confine themselves to ag-
ricultural experiment and do not enter
into any discussion of politics. The
northwest section of the United States
is considered similar to the interior
Russian steppes, and for that reason
agricultural methods used in this part
OF the country are followed by heads
Of experiment stations in Russia.
While in Brookings Professor Italia
kov inspected the work Of the horti-
cultural department and he also learn
ed OF the State college experiments in
dry land farming and agronOmy. He
observed the agronOmy plots arrange
ments also, and was interested TO see
the great development Of alfalfa in
this state under the direction of DR..
n. E. Hansen, who brought the seed
from Russia in 1906.
Professor Taliakov expressed him
self as pleased with the work which
he saw at the State college experiment
station.

Appropriate dedication exercises for
the new Fountain school building. To-
Gated three miles north and five miles
east of Brookings. were held Monday
evening. Talks were given by Mabel
X Trooien, county superintendent OF
schools, and Ray Barnett, county
agent, in which they commended the
school board and patrons for the splen-
did building which they have just COM
pleted. The structure is of brick and
equipped with Delco lights, running
water and furnace. BY employing two
teachers, they are able to give one
year high school work and receive
credit for same. A large crowd at
the program, some coming
many miles to view the new building
and all voted it the finest i'll the coun-
try. An interesting program, consist
ing Of school songs, yells, recitations
and a Halloween play, was given by
the pupils of the school in a very cred
liable manner. Much praise is due
the teachers, Misses Wilson and Hus-
ka, for their untiring efforts in making
il such a success. A box social was
also included in the entertainment of
the evening.

PLANS FOR ARMISTIcE DAY

On Armistice Day the State college
Jackrabbits will join the local post Of
the American Legion in entertaining
the other posts Of the state here in
Bookings. The State college band
and the r. o. T. C.. will help in the
way Of music and maneuvers. The

Aggies and State is at 2:30 o'clock.
The North Dakota Aggies have a
splendid string OF victories to their
credit. Their line is big and fast,
weighing around 100 per man from
tackle to tackle. They have a short,
stocky backfeld. They play the Uni
versity Of North Dakota this Saturday
and are likely to win. When they come
to Bookings, it will likely be the big
gest battle fought ON State field this
year.
