GERS and being invested with its own
control. The idea was that every
town would benefit by spreading an
understanding of the worth of the
state as a whole. Furthermore du-
p~lication of effort would be elimin.t-
ed, thus making for economy and eff
ticiency.
The letters of the different leagues
are written upon four-page letter
heads. The first page is identical,
except for the name of the place in
the date line. The second and third
pages are also the same-the second
being devoted to printed presentation
OF the wealth of Oregon and a third
to a list of differt clubs in the league,
with their officers names. The fourth
page is filled with a printed descrip-
ton OF he particular town from
whence the letter is sent. With this
scheme the first page, typewritten,
supplies particular information and
the others more general data.
Now, what Oregon and other west
ern states are doing can be done right
here in South Dakota. This state has
never done much to bring it's wonder
ful to the attention of the
homeseeker but individual counties
and towns, and this means Brookings,
can do their W booming and the re-
suits Will be many times greater than
the cost. With so many western
towns boosting every day it behoov-
es Brookings to get busy n stay
