NJ. G. Carlisle tells us that his
brother. Fred, is nov secretary and
treasurer and city sales agent Of the
Portland Glazed Tile company, a
branch of the company operated at
Tacoma by c. F. Allen, and ne has no
intention of returning to Brookings TO
make his home.
Country merchants could increase to
a large extent the value of the space
used in the local papers by paying
more attention 10 luelT duNGIIlSllS.
Under pressure of the solicitor they
grab up a piece of brown paper and
scribble off an advertisement, which
is inserted and allowed to stand until
the publisher gets ashamed of it and
insists upon a change of copy. AS
every change costs the publisher some
thing he is not apt to insist upon it
very often. The advertising portions,
therefore, of the country press are
unattractive. If the merchant would
change his copy frequently and adver-
tise bargain day sand special sales,
the readers would soon discover that
il paid them in dollars and cents to
read the advertisements of the local
paper. There would hen be less said
by country merchants about adyertis-
ing not paying. 1t is their OWL fault
that it does not pay better.-EX,

Brookings is this week enjoying the
best entertainment our citizens have
ever been privileged TO attend. Each
number of the chautauqua program
has been good and the admission
price is reasonable enough to be
within the reach Of all. This is
is Brookings' first experience with a
chautauqua, but it is certain that it
will not be her last.

Did you know that Brookings coun-
J needed a new court house?

The filing of expense by
the candidates at the recent primary
shows that holding a state Office is
not the fat job that It is generally
supposed to be. The primary Is an
expensive affair for the candidate, and
the man who gives up a good job to
go after a state Office shows poor
financial judgment.

LITTLE MEN PREDOMINANT

1T seems that big men haven't a

Hughie Jennings lately while discuss
ing the new men who have broken into
the major league ranks in the last two
years. The new men all seem to be
small in stature. There is not a de-
mand for big men or the big men have
ceased to excel at the game The lit
tie fellows are crowding the big ones
out.

have much Of show in the game.
when a prejudice seemed to exist
against them. / can easily recall the
time when to be a first baseman a
