and after the measure had been ini-
tiated even the people of Sioux Falls
realized that it was bad move and
they abandoned the project and are
making no effort whatever To have
the measure endorsed by the people.
There is no good reason why it should
be, and there are any number of reas-
ons why it should not he. The Uni
versity at Vermilllon has j laic camp
us, and is nicely located, has a num-
ber of fine buildings and ought to
have more to accomodate the student,
who desire to attend. 1t would cost n
vast sum Of money to remove the
buildings from Vermillion to Sioux
Falls, and it would not give us any
more central location or q more acess-
ible location for our University. II
has been pointed out that If the re
moval should by any chance be adopt
cd by the voters, that it would cost
the taxpayers Of Mellette county alone
over $4,000 as their proportionate
share Of the cost of removal. BE sure
to vote "no" on initiated measure
No 5.
We have cndeavored to give our
views on the constitutional amend
ments and the inflated and referred
laws, to be voted on at the election
a week from next Tuesday. We have
given you our honest opinion on each
measure. There are some, no doubt,
who will differ with US on the views
expressed but they have a perfect
right to their own views.

in such action. We are not in favor
of taking away all recreation and

Initiated Measure No is the one
establishing a state bank along the
same lines as the one established in
the state OF North Dakota few years
ago, and which measure was the cause
Of so much financial unrest and havoc
to our sister state to the north Of us.
This measure is sponsored by the Non
Partisan League and they are making
a strong fight to have it adopted.
1t is one of the most dangerous of all
the proposed measures submitted to
the voters of the state at the coming
election. If you have your own in

at heart you cannot help but vote mo

FOOTBALL SQUAD
IS NOW At WORK
BETTER TEAM THAN LAST YEAR
Is EXPECTED BY MAROON
AND CREAM.

Coach Roy Campbell called out his
Alma College football squad yester-
day for the first workout Of the year
and large number Of men reported,
but it is expected that the next few
days will see this number greatly in
creased and it is probable that in an
other week u good line on the pros
pectivc material for the grid aggrc-
cation this coming season VIII be
available.
Several old men have reported to
Coach Campbell and will again be
seeking places on the Maroon and
Cream eleven. Others who had been
expected back are missing, the most
noteworthy Of these being Captain
Hunter, center, and Anderson, half.
II had been expected upsuntil about a
month ago that Captain Hunter would
he bnck in Maroon and Cream fight
ing toys this year, but developments
since that time have prccluded his re
turning 10 the Alma camp. His place
will be- hard TO ill as will that vacat-
ed by Anderson
The squad was given an easy work
out last night and will be given n
few more such workouts before Coach
Campbell turns his attention TO the
heavier stunts connected with the pre-
liminary training. II is certain, how.
ever, that heavy work will be started
very soon as the opening game for the
Maroon and Cream comes on Scptcm
Der 80 with the Michigan Aggics at
East Lansing, and in the meantime
the Alma mentor must develop hi,
aggregation and put it into shape C
give the Farmers battle. Within
another week it is expected that n
fairly good line on the prospects foi
the season will be obtainablc. lndica
tons are that the team will be con
siderably better than the aggregation
that represented the Maroon al
Cream last year 1t will need to be
however, as the majority Of the Mich
igan Intercollegiate outfits are ap.
parcntly to be Of better class than

Seeks Funds for
State Committee

Homer NJ Durham Of Alma has
been appointed by Fred Nj. Green of
lonia, treasurer Of the Republican
state Central Committee of Michigan
as the chairman for Gratiot County
in obtaining the county's quota Of this
years campaign fund
Treasurer Green Of the state com
mittee has pointed out that the quota
has been figured TO the lowest pos
siblc basis 20 obtain fund that is
adequate for the campaign expenses
this year and he has notified the Gra-
tiot chairman that the quota for this
county is only $4,000. He says that
IL is essential 70 party success that
this fund for the campaign be raised
completely.
Durham is hoping for a good dis
tribution 10 the fund in the county
and urges that Gratiot Republicans
get behind him and aid in raising the
campaign fund. He hopes to see a
number of the county Republicans
during the next two weeks, but there
are probably some whom he may not
'be able TO see during the time that
he must secure the fund and he hopes
that these Republicans will aid HIM
by forwarding their contributions Ia
him made out TO the treasurer Of the
State Central Committee. He does
not feel that the fund needed is large
enough to demand combing Of the
Republicans Of the county through an
extensive campaign by large com
mittee. but rather that large mum
Der Of county Republicans should vol
unteer contributions TO make up the
county quota.

Hog Profits Hinge
on the Corn CROP

That the size of the corn crop this
fall, with its resultant effect upon the
price Of corn, will bear directly upon
the profit to be gained from hog rails
ing in Michigan during the COMING
season, is the statement made here by
Prof. Geo. A. Brown, head of the ami
nal husbandry department al the
Michigan Agricultural College.
A big crop, such AZ has been indi-
rated by early reports, would mean Il
clativcly low price for corn as COM
pared with pork, and hogs would un-
loubtcdly continue to furnish profit
lblc market for farm grains On the
other hand, light crop Of corr,
,aused by early frosts, would result in
a relatively high price for corn, and
would neccssitate more careful feed
ing.
"rhc number Of sows bred this fall
.hould be largely gagged by the CROP
produced this year." says Brown, land
by the relative price Of corn and hogs
at breeding time. If, during Novem-
Der and December Of this year, hogs
are selling for much greater price
per hundrcdweight than the cost Of
ten bushels of corn, a large number of
iows will be bred On the other hand,
{ the price of hogs is much lower per
lundredwcight than the value Of ten
bushels Of corn, fewer sows will be
)red, resulting in remunerative mar
<ct for the majority of swine breeders
/ year hence.
"The farmer who is a student Of
market conditions, and who keeps
we'll bred hogs, maintains them in a
healthy condition, makes use Of pas
yurc crops, and gives sufficient vari-
,ty of feeds to furnish the necessary
tissue building, fat forming and
frame building constituents in the
proper proportion, will always find
hogs profitable"
