SHRINE MOBILE CORPS

The Minneapolis Journal says that
a movement, both original and unique
was instituted by the board Of trus-
tees of Shriners' Hospital for Crippled
Children at their meeting in the Twin
Cities Tuesday afternoon. 1t is to or
ganize a mobile corps, consisting OF an
O~rthOpedic surgeon, an assistant sur
geon, two nurses and a bracemaker,
skilled in manufacturing appliances
for Strengthening crooked limbs. This
corps will visit smaller cities and
towns in the United States, Canada,
Hawaii, Philippine Islands and Mexico,
~instructing local surgeons in o%rthoped-
ic methods. Free clinics will be held
for afflicted families OF all Masons.
The expense Of the corps will be borne
by the organization.
This decision was made by the
board after receipt Of many requests
for three, fOur or half a dozen ortho-
pedic beds to be maintained by the
Shriners in hospitals in smaller cities
and towns, where Masonic lodges are
not large enough to support hospitals
Of this kind.

Brooking Beats
De Smet As to 0.
Will Play Clark High Here
Tomorrow; Locals are
Out for the State Cham
pionship.

Keeping step with the college, Brook
ings high school is starting out it's
football season in a style that will
bring the state championship home to
~Brookings. Last Saturday the De
Smet high school football team was
defeated AS to 0 on their home field
by the Bookings warriors. The bene-
fits Of the period of early training and
consistent practice were plainly evil
in red and black. De Smet had but
who besides being weaker were lack
ing in practice and could not stand
up under the smooth working machine
in red and black. DeSmet hade but
n first down during the game and
that came as the result OF q penalty.
Ten minute quarters were played
which saved De Smet from a still
greater defeat.
On Friday Of this week, tomorrow
afternoon, Bookings high school will
meet a more formidable opponent on
State field and much will depend on
the outcome of this game. Clark high
school is the visiting team and they
have already made a good record this
season in defeating Redfield and tie
ing Aberdeen, two OF the strongest
teams in the northern part Of the
state. Coaches Nicholson and Wood
are putting forth their best efforts
this week in getting the team in the
best possible shape for the Clark game.
The boys are working hard for they
realize that it will take the best that
is in them to defeat Clark. The game
will be called at 2:45 p. m. A large
crowd Of people from Clark are ex-
peCted down to see the game.
The game last Saturday at De Smet
showed no particular stabS on the
BrOOkings team, but every man who
played made good in every sense of
the word. Scarlet made four touch
downs, breaking away once for a forty
yard run. Whalen made two touch.
downs and on one occasion intercept
ed a pass and ran sixty yards. Carlisle
made the other counter and made a
stellar play when he ran back a punt
forty yards. Straight football was
used altogether.

Written by Hopkins

ed to make hat country more indie
pendent. DR.. Hopkins died at Gibral-
tar, on his way home from Greece. Oc-
tober 6, 1919.
The bulletin, How Greece Can Pro
cure More Food" is exactly as DR..
Hopkins wrote it, and it has been
translated into Greek for use in that
country, where it has won much rec
ognition as a practical manual for i'm
provement of agricultural methods.
This work of States well known alum.
Is considered the most extensive
study that has ever been made of soils
which have been used for so many
years, as those of Greece have.
After graduating from State college
with the class of 1890, DR.. Hopkins
became connected with the University
of ILLINOIS for 25 years.
