FORMER RESIDENT HERE,

M. s. Staven of Britton, Marshall
county, a former well known Brook
ings county boy, was here the past
week visiting at the home of his
father, o. f. Stayen south of the city,
Mr.. Staven is practicing law at Brit.
ton, and from all accounts is making
good in his chosen field. He is now a
candidate for the office Of states attor-
ney Of Marshall county and if the peo-
pie up there are looking for ability and
character they should select Mr.. Sta
ven. He was for twenty-five years a
resident of this county and has a host
of friends here who wish him well
in the coming campaign. After leav-
ing the State college here he attended
the state university law school at Yer
million, graduating in 1907, and since
that time has been practicing his pro-
fession at Britton.

CHIC PERKINS.

"The Little Prospector." with
Chick Perkins in the title role, and
an excellent supporting company, yes
terday afternoon and evening proved
to be a pleasing attraction at the
Seattle Theatre. "Chic" Perkins in
a pretty Characterization made many
friends by her charming and
fascinating smile. She impersonates
a not uncultured Eastern girl in a
Colorado mining district. Interest
enters in her love for a Yale grad

County met on Saturday last at
Dempster, holding a closed session in
the forenoon, q public meeting in the
afternoon to discuss good roads and
potato growing and conferred the
fifth degree in the evening in the
Dempster Grange hall. A large and
lively delegation was on hand from
Watertown Grange. Dempst"r made
the patrons ali happy, furnishing din
ner, supper and entertainment. Sec
rotary Dixon of Watertown Grange
presented a very valuable and practi-
cal paper on potatoes. Members were
on hand from White, Trenton and

SINGS HER OWN SONGS.

Mrs. Grace E. Watson will give a
concert at the NJ. f.. chuch Wednes-
day, March 80 under the auspices of
We Girls and the proceeds will go to
the pipe organ fund. The St. Paul
Pioneer Press says of Mrs. Watson:
The Schubert club welcomed back
an old member Friday afternoon in
it's regular weekly at home-one who
has gained distinction during the last
few years as a composer of songs.
Mrs. Watson has a beautiful and SYM
pathetic soprano voice, extraordinarily
susceptible to color, and capable of
imaging forth the br~illiancy of spring
sunshine or of shadowing darkly ma
lures clouds and rain. She sang a
half dozen songs for the Schubert club
members and many more than that at
Visitation convent Friday morning,
appearing earlies in the week in a
song recital at Carleton college, North
field, and at Albert Lea.
Mrs. Watson was born in Rochester
and raised in Marshall, MINI. Her
home is at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and
she is distinctly a product of the Mid
die West, her mental type and strong
melodic gift identifying her, perhaps
intangibly, but none the less surely,
with this section.
Although her nature songs, such as
the Receipt for an April Day." and
"The Flowers Lullaby" are strikingly
original, you are unfallingly reminded
on hearing them of the poems Of Eu-
gene Field and the melodies of Ethel
bert Nevin. "It's Raining Violets" is
the most cheerful song heard in ST.
Paul for a long long, time, and "Try
Smiling has philosophy in its music
as we'll as in It's words. "The Awaken
ing Of Sweet William" presents a
whimsical and humorous view of the
garden, and the plantation songs are
lovely Of their kind. :

class postage rates will unerringly re-
bound upon the department as well
as the public.
Again, why should nearly $11 100000
lost in rural delivery be unloaded upon
the shoulders Of the publishers? Ru-
raj delivery is important step for
ward for this country, but why the
necessity Of private enterprises bear
ing the brunt of official mis.manage-
ment?
The P~ostofice department seems to
have little idea as to what expenses
should be charged against s%econd-class
matter. 1t is absurd to attack mod
ern business organizations with an
army OF figures. which are not exact,
or approximately exact. Let the de-
partment provide a competent cost
expert to produce facts and figures.
The publishers are willing to stand
before the verdict.

.t'SeJrm Of cup which he suggests be
red in a contest between the two
literary societies. The cup will be a
beautiful addition to the decorations
of the hall Of the society winning it
and DR.. Slagle is ~endeavoring to ar
range for a contest to be held before
the closing of the present year.
DR.. Slagle gave an illustrated lecture
before the Y. NJ. C.. A. on Sunday
afternoon, March 10. The theme Of
his talk was a description of Lorraine,
the heart of old France and the garden
Of new France. 1t was illustrated with
views OF the old chateau and nara
tives of the historic events that are
connected with them. DR.. Slagle spent
considerable time in this part of the
country two years ago and the name
in which he described it was very
interesting.

TO SAVE FRUIT.

Prof. Kerr has a pretty good scheme
to save fruit trees in the city from
frost this spring. He says that II
the people would save the dry grass
and other rubbish gathered from the
yards until some evening later in the
spring when a frost is threatened and
then burn it the smoke would prevent
the frost from doing any damage.
This method is used ny owners of fruit
orchards all over the country and is
highly effective.

A GOOD SYSTEM.

Postmaster Breed this week re-
ceived a letter from the postmaster
general at Washington heartily COM
mending his card system, which has
been in use in the local office the past
year, and informing him that the
system would be adopted for all the
offices in the country. Under the
old system the names Of patrons of
the office were kept in a book al
phabetically arranged. When there
was a change OF address the name
had to be erased, making a bad look
ing set Of books and at the same time
cumbersome and unhandy. Under the
card system it is easy for the clerks
and carriers to keep track of the
patrons and when one leaves the city
his card is simply thrown away. Under
the new system every patron in the
city and on the rural routes is carded.
Charles e. Hall went to Minneapolis
last night to spend a couple of days
on business for the Farmer.

STATE COLLEGE
ATHLETES BUSY
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR
ANOTHER.
CHAMPION TRACK TEAM
AND THE OUTLOOK FOR BASE
BALL is MOST PROMISING.

The recent favorable change in the
the athletics of the college and after
-four o'clock on every afternoon of
the week the campus literally
swarms with candidates for the track
and baseball teams. Brookings has
won the state meet for nine years in
succession and is the possessor Of
three beautiful athletic trophy cups.
This year she is going after the tenth
meet, and if present enthusiasm is
a criterion Of the quality of the track
team she will put out, she will sure
ly win.
A few of the old track men are
gone, but there are plenty of the
last year substitutes and of good ma
terial to fill their places. Huntimer,
the captain of last years team, is
a star that never fails to win in the
middle distances. Meharg is one of
the old men that can be relied on to
wiz points in the short distances.
Sexauer is a veteran in the long dis
tances and is coaching a squad in
these runs at the present time. Lock
hart did some good work in the broad
jump and short distances last year
and will undoubtedly do better in this,
his second year. Cliff Johnson is an
old hand with the weights and he and
Bibby, who was with the team last
year, can be relied on to make points
in all three Of these events. Mathews
is doing good work again this year in
who was with the Brookings High
School last year, will make a strong
team in this event. Pence is not an
old track man but his splendid record
in football and basketball leaves little
doubt that he will be a winner in the
events in which he participates. May
last year, is a promising candidate in
the short and middle distances. Vail
and Jensen are handling the weights
in a cOmmendable way. Granger,
Stems, Tracey, and Osborne are show
ing up we'll in the run and hurdles
and Finley, Knappen and GrOtta are
doing consistent work in the long
distances. Besides these there are
many new men out who have yet to
demonstrate their ability.
The dates for the meets of the ca
son have not all been settled hut meets
with Mitchell, Hamline and Huron
have been arranged for. The State
Meet will be held in Huron May &c,
and q, and the annual High School
meet will be held on the home track
earlier in May.
The baseball prospects are better
than they have been for several years.
Almost all of the old players are in
school and are getting out to prac-
tice. Wohleter, captain of last years
team, Atkinson, Hyde, Sauder, Pier,
Anderson and Brown are all showing
up in their usual good form and there
is much promising new material. A
subscription was recently circulated
and enough money raised to purchase
new uniforms. The schedule has not
been definitely announced as yet but
efforts are being made to arrange for
a trip through the southern part Of
the state, which will include games
with Vermillion and Yankton.
