LIGHT FOR LIGHT BEARERS.

One of our field workers sends in
the subscription of all three of the
pastors of a small village. This is a
work of vital Importance. Our socie'
ties and workers could hardly give
time more profitably to any line OF
effort than to put every pastor and
other person who is in position to
influence the thought and conduct of
others into touch with our movement
through one or more of our papers.
If they will subscribe for themselves,
we'll. If not, no such person should
be allowed to be without the reading
of at least one of our papers if he
will accept it as a gift.

BEVERIDGE FEARS ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES.

II never touched a drop of liquor in
all my life for any reason and never
SHALL" said United States senator Bev-
eridge to Defender interviewer. "I
am no stronger than my neighbor who
uses it," said he, "but look at the
physical and mental and moral wreck
the stuff has made of him. I faced
the question fairly and concluded that
Albert J. Beveridge couldn't afford
under any consideration to touch one
drop of the products of either the dis
tiller or brewer. I have never regretted
that step, can tell you. begin more
fully to comprehend the economical
and political sides of the traffic." said
the youngest member of the United
States senate, "and the result is that
now view it as the most important
issue before the American people to-
day."

Among the officers whom the pa

a Twin City church is a church re-
porter We like this. Every church
and reform organization which de-
sires publicity should appoint an Of

pecially true of Prohibition clubs and
committees whose success depends so
largely on getting the eye and ear OF
the public.

beer. The decision does not hint at
any incongruity between what the

TRADE AT HOME

Now that the time has arrived to
do your fall and winter shopping comes
alluring advertisements from catalog
houses. Before you have sent away
money sit down and think the matter
over candidly. How much OF the
county taxes do the catalog houses
pay? what sort of guarantee do they
give you that the goods will be as
represented? What recourse have you
if the goods do not prove pure-are
adulterated and actually poisonous
Remember that the catalOg houses are
the only dealers that can sell adulter-
ated goods without branding them as
such. We believe that the adultera-
ton of foods and medicines is largely
responsible for much of the stomach
troubles" that are now endangering
the lives of our people. Help the home
dealer and the state pure food depart
ment in wiping out this evil, by buying
nothing but pure foods-foods that are
genuine on their face. Encourage
your home dealer in carrying larger
and better stocks so that he can help
pay the taxes. Build up your home
town by marketing your produce at
home. The merchants of Brookings
have larger stocks this fall than they
have ever before carried and the COM
petition is so great that prices will
be kept down to the minimum. Just
give the home merchant chance to
fill your order at cash rates and dol
lars to doughnuts he will do so salts
factorily.

Y. M. c. A. BANQUET

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Of the South Dakota State college
gave a banquet at six o'clock Satur-
dav evening, in the domestic economy
rooms. in honor of c. d. Hurrey, the
Y, NJ. C. A. secretary of the west, and
to which were added as guests the
business men of Brookings who have
aided and encouraged the association
with moral and financial support from
the time the movement was started.
The college faculty was also well rep
resented and a number of the min
listers of the city were present.
The spread was all that could be
desired at that hour, and at its con-
clusion Dr. X. l.. Slagle, chairman of
the advisory board, made few time
ly remarks, introducing Prof. A. 5.
Harding who spoke upon the relations
of the faculty to the association. Prof.
Harding was followed by F. J. Carlisle,
who spoke from the business mans
standpoint. Rev. Hugh Robinson then
viewed the association from the stand
point of the church. Mr.. Hurrey
closed the program with very inter
esting account of what the Young
Mems Christian associations were DO
ing in the various institutions in this
country and throughout the world.
Mr.. Hurrey has just returned from
trip to the Orient and Philippine
Islands His time was too limited to
go into the details of his trip, but he
conveyed a message from Clarence II.
Robertson, who graduated from this
institution with the class of '33. Mr.
Robertson is now located in one OF
the large cities of China as a science
teacher and missionary and is in close
touch with the leading officials and
dignitaries of the province in which
he resides.

in the school, which is very encourag
ing, and the Register joins with the
many friends of this movement in
wishing for a much larger percentage
of gain the coming year.

FALSE REPORT

Parties coming in from the south
east part of the county the first of
the week stated that someone circu'
lated the report in that section last
week to the effect that scarlet fever
was prevalent in this city and that the
city was quarantined. This false re-
port kept great many away from the
county fair and they were disappoint
ed in not attending as the association
was because of their absence. The re.
port was absolutely without founda-
ton as there is not known case of
the disease in the city nor has there
been for months.

cancer, after a lingering illness. The
funeral was held from the Christian
church Sunday afternoon the services
being conducted by the pastor, Rev.
J. Il. Parker, and the remains were
laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery.
Mrs. Olson was born in Norway Feb.
ruary 2, 1859. About twenty years
ago she was married to Oscar Olson,
and five children were born to them.
Two of these died in infancy. two
others make their home in distant
parts of the country, and one daughter.
Lillian, ten years of gae, made her
home with her mother.
Prof X. +. Kerr ran across quite a
curiosity the other day among his
old books. 1t is a city directory of
Brookings for the year 1884, and COM
piled by II. II. Reeves in September
of that year. 1t shows that the popu-
lation of Brookings was 9l9 at that
time, and since Brookings has gained
about three thousand new citizens.
OF the 9l9 people then residing in
the city 146 or about l6 per cent are
still here. 1t is very interesting

were here at the time it was published
