F, NJ. Kremer and II. F. Haroldson
returned Sunday morning from their
months trip through the west. They
visited Colorado, Idaho and Oregon,
with quite a lengthy stop at the Seat
tie exposition. At Caldwell, Idaho,
they visited /. s. Binford, Thos. Jack
son and other former Brookings people,
who they state are doing nicely. They
say that the exposition is a fine one,
but the crowds were not very large
while they were there.
During the months of July and
August the churches of the city will
hold union services at the court house
every Sunday evening at eight o'clock,
beginning e Sunday evening, to
which tho onnapnt n,,bIin &c o,J;ol,.
invited. Union services were held at
the court house last year during the
hot weather and proved to be very
popular, and the idea is an excellent
ne. The other services of the
churches will be held as usual.
Sears, Roebuck & Co., the mail or.
der ~millionaires, that ow-
ing to the passage of the federal pure
food and drug law they will discon.
tinue the grocery and retail business.
1t was not the passage of the law bv
congress but the enforcement of the
pure food law by the agents of the
government that drove the catalogue
house out of business. The fact that
they cannot sell groceries and drugs
successfully If the law is enforced GER
tainly demonstrates that their patrons
IN the past got much ad~ulterated food.
1t is also evidence of the general poor
quality of the goods sold by the mail
order houses.
The Brookings delegation to the G..
A. r. E%ncampment at Sioux Falls last
week returned home Thursday night.
In the party were Mrs. H. G.. Fox.
Mrs. ii. Eichberg, Mrs. w. r. Stowe,
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Shea, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. II. Avery, w. P. Slocum, J.
s. Smith, Mrs. A H. Wheaton, Mrs.
A. Glidden and Mrs. z. Prentice. The
encampment was probably the best
ever held IN the state, there being a
large crowd present and the visitors
were well entertained by Sioux Falls.
General o. o. Howard, the last sur
viving general of the Civil war was
present. The next encampment wifi
be held. at Watertown.
Oscar Mathews, who graduated from
the State college last year, this week
received an appointment as expert of
the bureau of plant industry of the
Department of Agriculture. He has
been assigned to do special work at
the government station at Belle
Fourche, and left Tuesday morning to
take up his duties. The position pays
a salary of 1900 a year, which is a
pretty good start for a nineteen-year
old boy. Oscar was one of the bright
est students in his class during his
college course, and we look for him to
meet with the same success that has
greeted the large number of State col
lege graduates now in the govern
ment service.
