Horse HOLIDAYS.

The Federal Government is acting
on the old saw that "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" and
has adopted a rule for a holiday for
horses employed in the public service.
The first example of the new law was
tested in the case of all horses used
in the service at Washington. The
horses employed in the Postal De-
partment are to have thirty days
vacation every year, the same as Gov
ernment employees. The chief of the
department believes holidays will add
to the efficiency and durability of the
horses in the Government service.
Every summer all the horses en-
ployed in the Postal Department at
the capital will be sent to the Gov
ernment pastures of Maryland. A
change to the rich, tonic grasses OF
the country and the opportunity to
repose in the shade of the stately
trees will not only be appreciated by
the horses, but will greatly add to
their efficiency.

had herself posed in precisely the
same attitude. This was for the hair
and dress of the new picture. AS to
the face, don't know by what mys-
terious means the photographer ac-
complished 1t. but the face was lifted
from the old picture and put into the
new one--a picture that is entirely
satisfactory. The hair and sleeves
of the new picture are Of 1910 model,
and the face doesn't look a bit
younger than when the subject is in
her own room with sidellghts and
rose colored shades. Furthermore,
the woman is so proud of 1t that she
makes no bones of telling how the
thing was done. She says it's every
woman's privilege to be the age she
chose for insertion in her marriage
license and for her best photograph,
even If she can't blot out the record
in the family Bible" - New York

Marriage Superstitions.

"Blessed is the bride that the sun
shines on"
A bride should use no pins in her
wedding clothes, and she should
avoid looking in the glass when she is
completely dressed for church.
The wedding ring should not be
tried on before the service, and TO
take 1t of afterward is unlucky.
"If you marry in Lent you will live
to repent" May is an unlucky month
for weddings, and June and October
are specially lucky.
1t is an old Yorkshire custom to
pour hot water over the doorstep
after the happy couple have departed,
in order to keep the threshold warm
for another bride.
When the bridesmaids undress the
bride they must be careful II she have
any pins about her to throw them
away. A single pin left might cause
her ill-luck. And If bridesmaid
keep one of those pins she need not
expect to be married before the next
Whitsuntide, or Easter at the very
a-l'es..-Home Notes.

Women Who Listen Carefully.

The person who can talk entertain
ingly and listen attertively is the best
type of guest at social gatherings, for
she who clatters necessarily is al
most more undesirable than one who
is too quiet-for the latter gives op-
portunity for other persons to express
themselves, while the former to say
even one word is often a struggle.
The balance between these ex-
tremes is the art of stimulating
temporary companion to conversation,
and at no place is it more important
to adopt the correct attitude than at
a dinner. More than one man has
been obliged to talk so much when
sitting beside a quiet woman that he
has not eaten enough. Such conduct
on the part of a womcn is decidedly
inconsiderate, for If she is not willing
to add her quota to the evenings en-
tertainment she should stay at home.

Status of Women.

Mrs. Harriet Johnston Wood re-
Gently delivered an address on "The
Legal Status of Women in New Jer-
sey" before the Essex County Suf-
frage Society. in which she held that
the early right of suffrage possessed
by women of New Jersey still existed.
Mrs. Wood advised the women OF
New Jersey to go to the polls to
register, and IL prevented to take the
case to court. They must be pre-
pared to fight the case to the SUI
preme Court of the United States,
where she did not believe they would
fail. Mrs. Wood is lawyer practic-

Ought Wives Object to Clubs?

A great many folk think that after
marriage man should not go to his
club in the evening. The sensible
girl who wants to be happily married
will never seek to curtail her hus-
bands liberty. 1t stands to reason
that a man likes mems society occa-
sionally, even though he is devoted
to his wife.
He needs change of scene, change
of ideas and a different outlook on
life to make him doubly pleased with
his home surroundings. An evening
at the club is the best thing in the
world to keep things bright at home,
and when wife interferes with her
husbands liberty she shows she does

Hamburg Steak With Tomato Sauce.

Never buy your Hamburg steak al
ready chopped, no matter how fresh
and enticing it may look. Too often
the most inferior grades of meat are
used and then sprinkled with pre-
servative to give them a fresh ap-
pearance. Get a piece of lean meat
from the round. not necessarily the
tenderest portion, and have the
butcher put it through the grinder
while you are there. If you like on
ions with the steak chop one fine
and add. Season with salt and pen
per, shape into small, round. fat
cakes and having your frying pan
kissing hot and just lightly creased,
with bit of suet, lay in the cakes.
In ten seconds turn and in ten
seconds more repeat. This gives a
nice brown crust on each side Of the
cakes and it will not be necessary to

MILLION AND
HALF REVENUE
STATES INCOME WILL PAY OBJ.
LEGATIONS.
TWELVE MILLION INCREASE
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
is MEETING AT PIERRE.

The state board of equalization and
assessment last week began its an
nual wrestle with the question of state
assessments and will be in session
about three weeks.
Last year the increased valuation
over the previous year was $27, OO0,-
900, but this year it is not likely to
go much above twelve million dollars.
Most of this will come from real es-
tate, about half Of it from new lands
for the first time placed on the tax
rolls; the rest from changes in valu-
ations in the older counties, as fixed
by the county auditors meeting in
March. There will be a slight in
crease in telephone valuation on &C
count of new companies organized,
but as these new companies are To-
cal with low valuations, they will not
make any material difference. While
the express companies are fighting
their assessment Of last year in the
courts, it is not likely that the board
will change it's methods at arriving at
their valuations, and on the same bas-
is the increase in this class Of prop
erty will bring an addition of mor
than one hundred thousand dollars.
Unless assessors have changed their
methods Of personal property, that
class will not show any material
change, the whole Of the present
scheme being more of a farce than
anything else.
Last year the total valuation Of
the state for assessment purposes
ran up to 1921, 900, 900, and it is
hardly likely that the total will go
above 1886, 000,0 900 for this year, If
it reaches that figure. If the state
board continues the levy OF four
mills for the next year, this will,
with the miscellaneous receipts Of
the state, mean a revenue Of over
a million and a half for the state
next year. and this will practically
wipe u the present Indebtedness by
the beginning of the next fiscal year
July 1, 1911, leaving the state with a
clean slate at that date, unless the
legislature Of next winter allows more
than the usual number of emergency
appropriations to go through, calling
for hurry up expenditures.

DISCIPLES OF BEN FRANKLIN.

The annual meeting of the state as
ISOLATION Of Ben Franklin Clubs was
held at Huron last Thursday and Fri
day. Brookings county was represent
ed by r. E. Phelps of the Press,
Messrs. Walker of the White Leader
and butcher of the Register. The at
tendance was not large for many rea-
sons. But some fifty Of the enthusiast
tic publishers of the state took
advantage of the occasion to be
present and listen to the very enter
taing and instructive business talks
on cost OF production by Mr.. Ellick
of Omaha, who is considered n Of
the best authorities on that subject
in the United States.
The individual papers by members
of the association were the best and
most instructive lot of papers that was
ever read to the printers of South
Dakota, and we are very sorry that
there were not at least two or three
hundred more publishers present to
hear them. 1t would have done them
good.
The old officers were reelected with
the exception of l.. v. Doty, a men,
Der at large of the executive board.
His place was filled by the election
of Charles McCaffree Of Howard. The
officers elected were w. r. Ronald,
Mitchell, president; ]. f. Nipple,
Pierre, vice-president; F. F. Nash,
Canton, secretary; II. A. Sturgis,
Be%resford, treasurer; Paul butcher
Brookings and Charles McCaffree, Ho-
ward, members Of executive board.
Plans are being laid by the associa-
ton to push the work Of organization
by placing a mar in the field with the
new cost blanks as provided by the
American Cost Commission, and We
believe that ever master printer in
the state, who has an eye to the bet
terment of his condition and who Is
interested in improving his plant, will
give him a cordial welcome and be-
come interested in the cost Of pro-
duction.

come and see it. Get him here at any
cost. Organize cheap excursions from

what the state has done this year and
you have convinced him not only that
We have a good state, but the best

A state that can not only produce
wealth in abundance when prosper
ity is universal, but can produce
splendid paying crops in a year when
failure is universal, is a state which
has only to place the proof before
his eyes to become the mecca of
every intending immigrant
OF all years, past or to come, South
Dakota should this year make a show
ing of what she has produced.
Twenty counties have already made
application for space for county ex-
hibits. They are: Butte, Brookings,
Brown, Clay, Clark, Corson, Faux,
Dawson, Hyde. Hughes, Kingsbury,
Hand, Minnehaha, McCook, Miner,
Perkins, Pennington, Sanborn, Sphinx
and Turner. This is the largest APP
plication for space for county exhi-
bits ever made, and the counties APP
plying are well distributed over the
state and are representative Of its
richest agricultural, grazing and min
ing sections. The superintendent
of these twenty county exhibits are
doing injustice to their own counties
if they are not already pushing to the
very limit the arrangements for full
and splendid exhibits. We are advis-
ed that some Of them, at least, are
doing so and those who are not al
not afford to let their counties suf-
fer by comparison.
Such a showing of products as
South Dakota "a make this year
will be advertised gratuitOusly all
over the west. The leading news,
stock and agricultural press have ask
ed for press tickets and will send
staff correspondents to write up this
fair. The big dailies Of Chicago,

TWO WEDDINGS.

, Yesterday the marriage chimes
rang right merrily, for four young
people well known in the community
entered that state of life where peo-
pie are said to live happily ever at
ter. In the city occurred the nuptials
of Miss Kittie NJ. Hubbart and Vim
cent d. Wilcox, while at Story City,
Iowa, Emil Hanson took to wife Miss
Gurine Anderson, remembered as one

mediate relatives and friends of the
young couple were in attendance,
While the wedding party vas assemb-
ling Miss Winnie Hallen played a we'd
ding march. Miss Madeline Wilcox
and Frank Randall attended the bride
and groom. The bride wore a dress
Of messaline silk, the trimmings be-
ing of cloth of silver. The veil was
Of silk tulle and she carried a boquet
OF white roses. Palms, ferns, roses,
sweet peas and smilax were used to
decorate the rooms, making a very
fine effect.
After the wedding, which took place
a: one o'clock, there was a reception,
attended by a large number Of the
friends of the young people. Then
came the wedding dinner, served at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Wilcox.
During the course of the evening the
newly welded pair began their over
land trip to the Black Hills, where
ten days will be spent camping. When
they return to this city they will make
their home in the Cheever cottage on
Fifth street.
Born, reared and educated in this
community Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox have
naturally acquired a host of friends
and the congratulations upon the hap
Ply event Of yesterday nave been both
many and sincere. The Register wish.
es to be among them.
Also, when Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson
have finished their honeymoon and
come to Brooldngs to live, the Regis
ter, along with many others, extends
a hearty welcome to Mrs. Hanson and
trusts that she will find Brookings as
good a town to live in as it was to
teach in. Mr.. Hanson, who has
grown to manhood in this community
and numbers his friends by scores, is
to be congratulated upon his good
fortune. They will reside in the
Thorson house on Sixth avenue.
