The ninth grade of the city schools
has issed Vol. |, No. of 1.-THE 100" this
week, which will hereafter appear
monthly. The little paper is not in
tended as money-making venture,
but to contain the regular work in
English and composition and to en-
courage the pupils along those lines.
1t is trusted that the patrons Of the
school will give the paper sufficient
support to pay the expense of publi-
cation and assist in establishing a
paper for the school, permanently.
Not in years, says the Waterloo,
wis., Democrat, according to cid
residents, has this vicinity been Wis.,
tied by such prolonged cold spell as
we have been experiencing of late.
For the past three weeks there has not
been day that the thermometer has
not registered at zero or below. On
Wednesday Of this week the ther-
mometer registered "a degrees below
and yesterday morning the thermom-
eter reached the 80 degree mark.
This is exceedingly cold for this
vicinity and passes the record of many
years by several degrees.
William Briggs, who owns and oper-
ates farm and cattle ranch south of
Huron, S. d., near Forestburg, took
thlrty-five head Of cattle to Chicago
last week: they were Shorthorns and
Hereford.. Twenty-eight of the num-
Der were year-olds and averaged
l,53S pounds each; seven were 2 year
olds and averaged 1850 pounds each.
For the year-olds he received $3.50
per 100 pounds, and for the year-olds
he received S4.55 per 100 pounds. The
net price received by Mr.. Briggs was
1921 per head, or $2,555.35 for the
entire lot of thirty-five head. For 100
days prior to shipment the cattle had
been fed on corn raised On Mr.. Briggs
farm. Aside from this they had fed
entirely upon native grasses.
This bit of news may be late but
with due apology for not locating the
item before this, we quote from the
South Dakota Ekko as follows: Geo.
G.. Rude was very agreeably surprised
a few days before Christmas by the
Lutheran Sunday School of Brookings
together with few friends and
church members, about seventy-tive
in all, who left presents at his home
amounting to about S35 in value as
mementos Of their appreciation for
Mr.. Rudes work in the Sunday school
especially and church work in general
since its organization. He has been
president of the Sunday school for the
past five or six years'and was reelected
at the last annual meeting 1t was a
very nice act on the part of those who
perpetrated the surprise and will no
doubt cause Mr.. Rude to redouble his
efforts from this on. Owing to the
fact that Mr.. Rude's family was not
we'll at the time the social features
we're dispensed with, but the event
will without doubt be celebrated later
on" The REGISTER knows that the
presents were highly appreciated by
the recipients and that they were
worthily bestowed.
