ANOTHER JoY-KlLLER.

Since time began it has been the
happiness Of some men-and, alas, of
some women, too, to say things which
will take the very essence of happi-
ness out of our most sacred fad or de-
stroy the pure joy of our most inno-
cent dissipation:
But it remained for DR.. II. w.
Wiley, the governments pure food in
spector, TO strike the solar plexus
blow at the honored custom of having
soda" Listen, matinee girls, while
the doctor speaks:
"If you only knew what l know
about what soft drinks contain you
would abstain from them.
ut may surprise you to know that
most of them contain more caffeine
than either tea or coffee"
1t is rather hard on the girls who
have no other method of celebrating,
to thus have the feet of their idol
uncovered.
The pure food expert, speaking from
his exalted position as a government
specialist, takes a mean advantage of
The girls who "just love" sodas and
sundaes and things that sparkle and
bubble in the dainty glasses, yet ap-
pear so innocent and refreshing.
Doubtless the learned expert is right
Perhaps the pretty beverages do con-
tain ingredients not in accord with
the delicate stomachs of the school
girls-but, who's afraid of little
thing like caffeine, whatever it is?
What girl will stop TO heed the
words of the Joy Killer when her very
best chum has a shiny dime burning
in the little pink palm of her closely
clenched hand?
Certainly they will not be robbed
of the joy of discussing their stage
favorite or the "nicest fellow while
slipping the same caffeine.
Have a soda?

Department.

Department..
1t will be interesting to all who
are interested in musical matters to
learn that we have made arrange
ments with Albert Gerard Theirs, the
we'll known singer, lecturer and in
structor of New York, who will fur
nish us weekly with comments on
musical matters which will be very
valuable to all those musically in
clined.
We publish herewith a portrait of
Mr. Gerard Thiers, and those who
are familiar with the world of music
will easily recognize his competence.
If you desire any information re-
garding music of any nature what.
ever, communications addressed 60
Mr.. Gerard-Thiers will receive a
prompt response.
We have had considerable expense
in securing this valuable musical ad
dition to our columns which no doubt
will be fully appreciated by our read
ers. A brief biography of Mr.. Gerard
Theirs will perhaps be interesting to
many
Albert Gerard-Thiers was born in
New York City, October 4th, 1860
His father, Francis Theirs, was a
noted impresario, the manager OF
Jenny Lind, Adelina Patti, Anna
Bishop, Amodio and other singers
The son studied the piano with S. B.
Mills and Max Pinner, and received
vocal instructions from Dele Sedie
in Paris, and William Shakespeare
in London. Since 1885 he has been
a successful teacher of ocal music
in New York City. His greatest sue
cess has been in the art of finished
tone production and Interpretation
and is based upon his theory, found,
ed upon long and profound study,
that adequate expression and inter
probation are based upon philosophi-
cal laws, and that Singing is done
by the brain as well as by the voice"
He ranks as a master among voice
specialists and enjoys a worldwide
reputation, having been repeatedly
-honored by elections to prominent
musical societies of Europe and
America.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

OF late Prof. r. f. Kerr, editor of
the Minnesota and Dakota Farmer, has
been giving considerable thought to
the question of bird protection in con-
nection with q, special bird number
which his publication will issue next
month. Prof. Kerr states that he has
discovered that the boys of the city,
and country, too, are in the habit of
killing off and robbing the nests of
these little friends of the farmer. The
state law protects all of our birds
with the exception of the sparrow,
blackbird and hawk, and the farmers
and city folks as well should see that
the law is enforced. Porf. Kerr says
that a study into the habits of birds
leads to the generally accepted view
that if there is anyone who ought to
be their firm friend it is the farmer
and gardener, who is especially in
debted to them for keeping in reason
able check the myriad insect enemies
of his growing crops. On this ac-
count he should arrange to reserve
somewhere on the place, along the road
in front of the house or in the corn
er of the pasture or wood lot, plum
or shrub thicket where the birds may
nest and make headquarters for the
season. Many farm does not have
as many birds about it as it might
simply through the lack of convenient
nesting places. The bird business is
coming to be a dollars and cents
proposition, and every farmer can af
ford to give it serious thought.

HOMECOMING
IS A SUCCESS
EVENT is ONE LONG TO BE
REMEMBERED.
COL. ORR WAS LlONIZED
ABERDEEN PEOPLE ENTERTAIN
VISITORS ROYALTY.

The Homecoming at Aberdeen on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week was the biggest event Of
it's kind ever held in the Northwest
and it was a success in every particu-
lar Thousands of people visited the
city during the three days, and they
were well entertained and looked after
by the enterprising citizens of the
northern metropolis. In fact, there
was nothing wanting to make it an
occasion long to be remembered by
every visitor.
Col. 7. G. Orr of BroOkings, father
of the Homecoming, was the lion of
the nour, and everywhere was honor
ed. He was elected as president of the
Early Settlers and Homecoming asso-
citation of South Dakota, which was or
ganized by the pioneers on the Sec

orally was accorded the honor due him
as Father of the Homecoming"

A REMARKABLE BUILDING.

+. c. Olson of. the Model, has re-
ceived very handsome picture of
Hart, Schaffner G. Marks new build
ing, which is now in process of con-
struction in Chicago. This building
will in some respects be the most re-
markable of its kind in the world, not
in height and space-although it will
be thirteen stories and will afford
floor pece equivalent to eight acres
but in beauty and conveniences.
The floors on which the clothing
will be carried are to be absolutely
dustproof. This is accomplished by
sealing all windows and passing the
iir through water before it enters the
room. A ventilating system of the
same kind will be provided for the
health of the employees. A refrigerat
ing system will cool the air and ster-
ilize and cool the drinking water.
There will be pneumatic tubes for
sending mail by compressed air from
one part of the house to another;
spiral chutes, nine feet in diameter,
from the top story to the basement,
for diSpatching shipments, both ex-
press and freight, automatic fire
alarms and sprinklers, and other mod
ern equipment.
The building will contain only the
offices, stock floors and cutting
rooms; no manufacturing will be car
ried on there, but will be done in
other large buildings located in other
parts Of the city.
The new building is in the heart Of
the business district of Chicago, and
when completed will be accessible
to those who wish to visit it as one
of the interesting points of the city.

TO RAISE BIG FUND.

John H. Johnson returned home
Thursday evening from Des Moines,
Iowa, where he attended the annual
convention of the United Norwegian
Lutheran church as delegate from
the Brookings church. Mr. Johnson
reports the largest and most success
full convention ever held. Among the
important acts was a, vote to raise
S1,000,000 jubilee fund to be used in
1914 to mark the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the founding of the church
convention. The fund will be used
to expand the work of the denomina-
ton. Each member has practically
pledged to give $25, or 81 each year
of the life of the church. The pres
ent membership is 10000, insuring
more than the desired sum.

DEATH OF OLD SETTLER.

James S. Pike, one of the early
settlers Of this county, passed away
at his home in Trenton township
Tuesday night at eleven o'clock. His
death was due to blood poisoning,
after weeks illness. The funeral
was held from the home this morn.
ing at ten o'clock, in charge of Rev.
S. l.. Boyers. and interment made in
Greenwood cemetery.
Mr., Pike was born in Ripon, Green
county, Wisconsin, May 20. 1854. He
came to Brookings county and filed
on his homestead in Trenton town
ship in 1878, being one of the first set
tiers in that neighboThood, and he
made his home there until his death.
He was the last survivor of the set
tiers who filed on homesteads in that
township. He is survived by wife
and eight children and three sisters
and four brothers.
Mr.. Pike was county commission
er four years, representing the sast.
ern district and held other Offices in

BRIDE GETS LICENSE.

Ben Killing, former Brookings
boy and son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Killing, who is now deputy clerk of
courts at Duluth, Mimi, had an unique
experience the other day. One OF
our Duluth exchanges tells of it as
follows:
1t isn't often that a June bride has
the temerity to go sup to the court
house to get her own license.
May Theodocia Brown, aged Is
isn't that kind of June bride, though
and especially when the groom-to-be
just couldn't get away from his work
long enough to make the trip to the
court house.
He was so busy that l had tc
come up to get the license" Miss
Brown happily explained to Deputy
Clerk b. G, Killing, who issued the
permit.
After the license had been procured
Miss Brown sought the Judge of Pro
bate, ]. b. Middleton, and made ar
rangements to have the wedding per
formed at eight o'clock In the even
ing at the judges home. Now Charles
Stewart Walsh and his bride are en-
I joying a short honeymoon. Mr.. Walsl
will be back at work tomorrow.

CAMPAIGN ON
Y. M. c. A. BUILDING FUND TO BE
COMPLETED.
SECRETARY PARSONS HERE
AND WILL REMAIN UNTIL THE
CAMPAIGN is CLOSED.

W. Nj. Parsons, Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
for the Northwest, arrived here yes
terday morning and the campaign to
secure the balance of the fund for
the Brookings association building will
be closed up at once. The one thing
now needed Is that the large number
of citizens who have not yet been ap-
preached for subscription shall respond
as generously as those who have al
ready given to the building fund and
thus help to round out the full amount
Of $4,000, which is needed to cover
the cost of building, site and equip
ment Counting the lots $4,000 and
estimating the cost of gymnasium and
other equipment at $4,000 will leave
about $4,000 for the building proper.
This will make possible building in
which every citizen may take just
pride and will be great addition to
our already beautiful city
We reproduce a picture of the AS
sociation building at Mount Pleasant.

NEW BANK FOR BRUCE.

On Monday morning the Farmers
State Bank Of Bruce, opened its doors
for business S. The stockholders of
the bank al e as follows: c. A. Skin
ner, G. F. Knappen, G. w. Sand
ers, G. J. Flttie, w. II. Walters, A
Thomas, S. Kolstad. The officers are
A. Thomas, president; G. J. Flittie
vice-president; s. Kolstad, cashier
The new bank is controlled by some
of the best and most conservative
business men in the county, and Il
should grow to be one of the leading
business institutions of Bruce. Mr.
Kolstad has had much experience II
the banking business, having just re
tired from the position Of assistant
cashier in the Security bank of Hans
ka, Mimi, and we predict that ths
new institution will be business sue
cess from the start.
