Open Season Tonight
With Columbus College

Columbus college basketball team
arrived here today to open the basket
ball season at State college with a
pair Of games against Coach Vests
Jackrabbits. The first game will be
played tonight at the college armory,
and the second tomorrow night. These
are the first games for both teams this
opportunity TO check up on the play
ing Of the teams, in preparation for
the important games which soon fol
low.
The first and second State college
teams played a close contest last Sat
urday afternoon which resulted in a
victory for the first team, 20 to II.
Every member of both teams showed
form hat was equal to that of any
first string basketball man in the state.
There is a wealth of material for
Coach West to pick from and it is
fortunate that there is, for two of the
all state members Of the first squad
are likely to be nj of the game for
the season on account Oh injuries
George Thompson, captain of the bas-
ketball team, was unable to play in the
practice game Saturday and may not
be able to play all season. States star
center, Lars Thune, has a lame shoul-
der and could play only a few minutes
in the game last Saturday.
Carey, veteran forward, is playing
the best game OF his career and was
the outstanding star in the practice
game Saturday. His basket shooting
from all angles was the decisive factor
in the game. Schultz took Thompsou's
place at guard and showed up we'll.
Owens and Birtsman took turns at
center. Frank WEIGH as the other for
ward a in good form and showed
considerable Improvement from last
year. On the second team, Bob Coffey
looked as good as any man on the floor
and he will likely take the center p0-
sitiOn in Thune's absence from the
game tonight. Frank Coffey, Patter-
son, Kruger and Globes, the other
members of the second team, made a
good showing and will be undoubtedly
used freely as substitutes during the
season.

have been enriched by the sum Of
$42.57a 81 which was sent by the state
- ~ count. ,ir-~As :. tt..ia last week
as the school apportionment for the
year, representing this county's share
in the income from the sale and rent
Of school lands. The entire income
amounts to $500, 784 or $S.19 for ev-
cry child in the state between the
ages Of six and twenty one. This pro-
vision in u law which made every
sixteenth and thirty-second sections in
brought thousands Of dollars to the
common schools of the state. The
amount varies from year to year due
to the amounts received from the Com
missioner of School and Public Lands
from leases and sales each year. 1t is
only the interest or income that is
distributed, the rest remains as a
permanent fund.
Beside the amount $i2.579.S1, there
is $6,,75S.70 collected as school poll
tax in Bookings county this past year
which is also divided among the
schools of the county on the same bas-
is, making an additional $50 per per
O between the ages Of six and TWEEN
ty-One, or $9.49 per person in Brook
ingS county of school age. The amount
from the state also includes the fines
that have been sent in by the counties
of the state the past year. The war
rants have been SEN out to the school
treasures by the county superintend-
ent whose duty it is to determine how
much money each school is to have.
This is done by taking the number Of
pupils reported to the office on the
census report from each district, in
June. There is a total of 5199 such
persons in the county according to the
records. The amounts that the var
ious schools receive differs greatly.

people between the ages Of six and
twenty-one, and receive $56.94 while
another rural district has fifty two
children and receives $493.4S.

Many Graduates
Become Dairymen
State College Graduates Con-
tinue Special Dairy Work
After They Win National
Show Awards.
BY Mildred f. Yule

South Dakota is an agricultural state,
with d|airying receiving special atten-
ton at this time. For this reason, in
terest must be kept alive, and it is
significant that part of this enthusiasm
for South Dakota dairy eVeiOpmcnt
comes from State college, Broukings.
Every year students specializing in
tiOnal dairy show, and almost every
man taking part in the contests has
continued his interest and Specialize
ton in dairying after leaving school.
Since 1911 d~airying as a state indus
try has been emphasized at the agricul-
tural college when Russell Jensen,
~BrOOkings, now connected with an
Iowa agricultural publication, won the
Taft trophy at the national dairy show.
The cup was presented by President
Taft to this State college student for
highest rank in Judging dairy cattle in
a contest, open to all amateur judges
from the agricultural colleges of the
United States, at Chicago.
That IA the beginning Of States
great interest in dairy specialization
on the part Of student judges. and
since then many high hOnors have
been awarded individually and to
teams from this institution. Six years
ago nine teams entered the Springfield,
Mass, contest, in which butter was the
only product judged, and South Dakota.
State won second place. The honor
came through the work Of Horace
Jones, now connected with the dairy
department of the State college ex-
tension service; Joe l.. Hill, who man
ages a large ranch at Alexandria and
specializes in Red Polled cattle; anu
f. C.. Ainsworth of the Blue Valley
creamery at Springfield, Ill.
In the 1917 student contest held in
connection with the national dairy
show at Columbus. Ohio, judges from,

High School to Have
Aggie Short Course

Many farm boys Will have an oppor.
tunity during the latter part Of Jan
uary to do some intensive and praCti-
cal school work at the BrOokingS high
school. 1t was found during the sum
mer thar many boys from the country
would have liked TO have taken the
regular agriculture curse in the local
high school but due to the press of
farm work could not be spared.
A canvass among these boys re.
vealed the fact that a gOodly number
would be glad to avail themselves Of
the opportunity TO do some OF the work
during the winter. In order to meet
this desire there is to be a short course
Brookings high school starting January
%, 1923.
The only requirement for enrolment
is an interest in the work to be given,
The work is to be given in such a way
that it will be possible for n to at
tend as much as he sees fit. Most OF
those already enrolled wish to put in
a full day. The course is to run for
two weeks. There will be no tuition
fee.
The work will consist of class dis.
cushions, laboratory, and shop work,
Half the time at least will be put in
on shop work. This will include such
as belt lacing, babbitting. rope work
gas engine work, woodworking, etc
The class work will take up either OF
several different unit courses such as
seed analysis, dairy, hogs, etc.
Should any others than those WHIT
have already enrolled wish to know
more OF the details about the course
a letter to the Agricultural Instructor
Brookings High School, will secure the
Information for them.

There was no contest in 1913, but
State college student judges again dis

and their coaches in 1919 at the show
in Chicago by taking first place in milk
Judging, second in butter and second in
cheese. Because of this high rank the
South Dakota school again received
the j. b. Ford cup. In competition
with six other teams, the student
judges from this institution carried off
first honors in all products Judging,

bringing another gold medal to State.

member Of the 1919 team.
Further ability in the judging ring
was demonstrated by State college men
at the show in Chicago in 1920, when
the team took first in all products in
competition with four other teams,

my wife does things"
"Well, of course, that is all very
well in theory" responded another; /;
but the best housekeeper gets behind
sometimes"
"My wife never does. She is always
the same. She keeps everything in
firSt-class order"
"She must be remarkable woman"
said another man. "How long have
you been married?'
''Ten years. And she has never dis
appointed me. She always puts things
in their proper places, and you know
just where to find what you want. For
instance, l went to my handkerchief
drawer this morning before daylight,
and took out a handkerchief and put
1t in my pocket before starting out.
l know just as well as l know my own
name that that handkerchief is with
out holes, and that it has my initials
worked in silk in one corner"

ODD PUNISHMENT FOR LYING
EskImos systematically Discourage
All Forms Of Untruth, Especially
Among tho Young People.

Among the Tiagria tribe of Eski-
mos, 300 miles north of the Arctic cir
Gle, there are no police and no courts.
The Omalik, or council of leading men,
has regulation against gossips. Any
person, male or female, found guilty of
gossiping is called before the entire
community and publicly rebuked by
the chief Omalik.
All forms of lying are frowned up
on, but particularly among the young
A young man caught lying to his par
ents is sentenced to carry certain
amount of water for the public use;
or, as an alternative, to give days
time to assisting some aged couple in
cleaning up their igloo or hut. A lad
who stole some tobacco was sentenced
to clean out his victims dog house.
Another native who was guilty Of a
trihing theft. was sentenced to ac
company one of the officials on n
jaunt of 419 miles to Point Barrow,
walking all the way behind dog sled.
He was furnished his meals on the
Journey. and, of course, had his rest
periods, but the penalty lay in being
compelled to give his services during
the trip in the management of the dog

DEAD FISH STREWED OCEAN
Was Thought to Mean Extermina-
tion of Species.

In the spring of 1882 the master Of
a vessel entering at New York harbor
reported that he had sailed for fifteen
miles through sea covered with the
dead bodies of strange fish, His
story was verified, and 1t was esti-
mated that great tract of sea, 10
miles long and % miles wide, Off the
coast of Long island and New Jersey
was covered with dead fishes, perhaps
1,400 millions of them.
The fishes were all the same speci-
mems of deep-sea fish which had
been discovered three years before. 1t
received such n long name that we are
almost afraid to venture on it. but 1t
was called tile-fish for short. Its
length Is considerably over foot, its
colors are brilliant its flesh is firm
and palatable.
Now, it appears that the home OF
the tile-fish was in fairly deep water
on what is called the Gulf stream
slope, and that great storms in 1882
had pushed the warm Gulf stream of
its usual course, and allowed an incur
sion and down-sinking Of chilly wa
ters. This killed off the tile-fish in
prodigious numbers and 1t was
thought for while that 1t was com
pletely extermlnated.

whole villages when game has become
scarce, native soil or plants worn out
or neighborhood quarrels arise. The
only part of the house there is much
trouble with is the frame and espe-
cially the frame of the roof Usually
these frames are of cane or flexible
bamboo fastened together with animal
sinews or with root fiber. Native
houses are often circular and of con-
siderable size, and the framework will
last for over a generation. They are
quite light and four or five men can
carry the roof framework of the
largest with ease.
In our illustration the natives have
taken off one Of their larger roofs
and are carrying 1t to where some
British surveyors have set up their
little tents as an act of generous
hospitality. These surveyors had
good reason to be thankful for so
thoughtful loan, for native houses
speedily thatched with palm leaves or
grasses make cool, comfortable places
to live in and are much more roomy
than portable tents. The black men
are coming to appreciate the blessings
OF civilization and especially of the
railroads and highways which follow
the tracks of the surveyors.

Quadruped Duckllnq.

Another quadruped duckling has
peen reported from Ontario. This last
freak was Matched by hen. The two
extra legs are attached to an extra
portion Of the body, set well back just
above the vent. The bird runs around on
Its two front legs, as well as the other
birds, while the two back legs drag on
the ground. The toes are webbed but
1t cannot use them. The owner is GU
rious to find out If the abnormal legs
will grow In proportion to the rest of
the body; so intends to take special
care Of the little freak, and await de-
lopments.-Montreal Family Herald

COLORADO BODIES
WOULD Save DEER

A program of protection having for
its purpose the conservation of deer
and other game in the mountains of
Colorado has been inaugurated by
and civic bodies generally throughout
the state, according to announcement
by the district office of the forest
service in Denver.
The protective plans are regarded as
an expression Of the growing interest
among Colorado sportsmen in the de-
veloping of wild life not only for the
sake of the sport itself, but also as a
state and civic asset.
Fire areas scattered along the front
ranges of the Rockies have been placed
apart by recent legislative enactment
as refugees, within which wild animals
may multiply without wanton molesta-
tion.
Regarding the refugees, H. N.
Wheeler, district chief of the public
LII UAO loIooIiy SeINiCe3 oulu
''The game on the refugees will meet
the demands of the reactionists, and
the surplus game which ventures be-
yond the limits of the protected areas
will satisfy the requirements of the
sportsmen.
"The chief work of the forest serv-
ise is not game protection or legisla-
ton; still, it is recognized that wild
life is essentially forest product, to
be protected, conserved and utilized as
truly as fuel or forage. Since so great
part of the game ranges are situated
within national forests, the organiza-
ton is admirably situated to help state
officers in game study and protection"

Pin Worked THROUGH Bows BODY.

A New Jersey boy of twelve while
coasting last winter felt something
hurting his knee. A doctor was called
who found that the trouble was a
brass pin, one and a quarter inches
long. broken off of large safety pin
in front of the coil. The point was
sticking out, but the pin was wedced
so firmly in the joint that several at
tempts were made before it came out.
The wound healed in few days and
no lameness or trouble followed Be
fore the pin was removed the boy
would sometimes limp, while walking,
but never noticed it. The doctor gave
it as his opinion that the pin must
have been swallowed by the boy when
a baby, as it was impossible to stick
a point into the Joint of the knee with
out causing pain or soreness. The
pin must have worked through the
boys body to his knee and the bend
ing of the knee worked it out.

SAFES THAT FIRE ROCKETS
Dutch Liners Equipped With Devices
to Foil Burglars and Defy
the Elements.

1t Is not generally known that Dutch
liners are equipped with special safes
for the conveyance of mails and other
valuables.
Unlike the square receptacles seen
In Offices and banks, the ships safe
Is oval in shape. 1t is carried on
the deck in cradle. Though ex-
posed to public view, 1t is proof
against attack, for, should any unau-
thorized person attempt to open 1t, he
would start an alarm.
Should the vessel meet with disas-
ter and sink, the safe remains afioat.
In its top is an ingenious automatic
signaling apparatus. After the safe
has been in the water half an hour
this Is set in operation, and bright
light is shown every four minutes.
Every ninth minute a signal horn
sounds for one minute, while for
twelve hours after the safe leaves the
ship a rocket is set off every hour.
After the postal authorities at
Dutch port have put the mail in q
safe, 1t is closed with two or more
covers provided with special locks and
keys Should the safe be cast afloat,
device fastens the innermost cover,
so that 1t can be opened only by using
a special secret code. Finally, every
safe Is provided with a separate COM
partment, which automatically de-
stroys the whole of its contents should

STARTED GOLF IN AMERICA
George Wright, Famous Athlete, Cred
tied With Introducing Game In
the Year 1888. q

George Wright, one of the greatest
all-round athletes America has ever
had, is given the honor by James Ed
ward Hungerford Of having started
golf In this country. Mr.. Hungerford
writes:
George Wright is the pioneer. Back
in 1888 he is said to have brought
the first set of golf clubs and the first
box of golf balls into this country.
He had small store in Boston, and
in looking over a cricket catalogue Of
a London firm he noticed an illustra-
tion of golf clubs, and thought it
would be a good idea to bring over
set to introduce them to America. He
accordingly imported the clubs and a
few boxes of golf balls, and put them
on display in his store window. A
Scotsman happened up and went in
to make inquiry as to the where
abouts of the golf course Wright
declared that there was not single
golf course in America, and the first
cant lot in Boston,
"Wright recently celebrated his sew
enty-sixth birthday at Del Monte, Cal,
but he is still an active man and finds
no trouble in getting is holes of play
daily. He is famous as one of the pio-
neer stars of the baseball field, hav-
ing originated the position of short
stop. His name is also closely identl-
fled with tennis and other lines Of out,
door competition"

Whence the "kee-wee."

During the late war officers in the
army air service were classified as
flying officers or ground officers, the
latter being used for administrative
work and for all other duties not ac-
tually requiring flight. Much jeal-
ousy existed at some fields between
,he flyers and the non-fyers.
1t was naturalist among the flyers
who aptly expressed for his fellows a
title fitting their mortal enemies. He
dubbed the ground officers as "Kee-
Wees" The name spread, yet few
know the reason for the title. 1t was
while looking up the word aptitude"
in the dictionary that an air service
officer stumbled on the right dope:
"Apteryx"-A bird native of New
Zealand without wings or tail. Can
not fly; called by natives, "Kee-wee."

case by the laying Of an egg by hen.
1t was stated that the hen was stolen,
together with basket, and that for
the purpose of the court case the hen
was marked Exhibit A" and the bas-
ket Exhibit b. Overnight the hen
laid an egg and the police officer in
charge of the case was puzzled wheth.
er the thief should also be charged
with stealing the egg. The magistrate
ordered that the egg be marked "Ex-
hibit A. L." but that it be not included

Nature Generous With This Duck.

A Michigan poultry farmer was
startled when he went to his coop and
found newly hatched duck running
about on its back. The farmer pur-
sued the elusive fowl and found 1t had
four feet, two on Its back and two In
regular position. When Its natural
legs became wearied, It executed a
flop and began prancing around on the
other pair. The farmer intends to
find out If the duck can swim on its
back.
