PRAISES

Editor c. l.. Dotson, of the Sioux
Falls Press, who spoke before the
Commercial club on Friday evening,
made an extended write-up Of his visit
to Brookings in his paper. He said
in part:
The Brookings Commercial club
is composed of n hundred and thir-
ty-five members and the club is but
six months old. The membership is
so large that the very neat little head
quarters in one of the blocks is too
small for its accommodations. But
the club is looking forward to some
thing better. The city is soon to be-
gin the erection of a $4,000 city hall
and the Commercial club will occupy
one entire floor. I was shown the
plans for the clubs headquarters and
they will equal if not surpass any
thing of the kind in South Dakota.
The occasion of the booster meet
ing was the ~semi-annual election OF
directors. The meeting was held in
the G.. A. r. hall and the floor was
completely covered with the tables
and chairs for the roast pig banquet.
There were a number who could not
be accommodated with seats. Brook.
ings people are after many improve
ments that will mean much to the
city. First they are demanding a
north and south road that will give
them connections with Sioux Falls,
and they say they are going to have il.
The club has interested itself in the
building of a new court house for
Brookings County and the 500, 900
property will be completed by Novem.
Der. The State Agricultural College
a good roads project. The plan is to
get a government expert to come and
mile of first class road. Three farm
ers came forward and said that if
they would do this and intimations
were given out that a third mile
would be handled by the farmers
whose lands abut on the highway.
because of the grand school facil-
tiles there are many retired farmers
who have moved to Brookings to
make their home. A number of these
farmers are members of the CONNER
cial club. Farmer r. M. Crawford,
whose farm is seven miles from
Brookines attended the banquet. Mr..
Crawford is a booster and boomer.
Because of the ~lateness OF the hour
in arriving at Brookings no time was
available for the inspection Of the
State Agricultural College and the in
teresting dairy barn. One thing that
was pleasing to note is that there is
a mutual interest taken by the citi-
zens of Brookings in the college and
the college professors in the club.
The club is very fortunate in hav'
ing so good a man as DR.. A. A. Har
ris, a young man of fine business
qualities, for president. Paul butcher,
editor of the Register, is the secre-
tary Of the club"

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR.


Doctors in all parts Of the country

Of grip which has visited SO many
homes. The symptoms Of grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys-
tenn In q run down condition, particu-
larly the kidneys which seem to suffer
most, rs every victim complains Of
lame back and urinary troubles which
should not be neglected, as these dan

THE GAME LAW

Pierre-1n order to forestall any
misconception of the game law as It
now stands, in force and effect, State
Game Warden Bancroft has published
the following:
For the benefit of the sportsmen
of the state, who may be laboring un-
der the impression that some material
changes were made by the last legiss
lature affecting the present game and
fish laws Of the state the writer win
attempt to enlighten them as to the
real state of affairs.
"A new bill was presented to the
legislature having for its main feature
the elimination of the county game
warden system and substituting the
state deputy system. This bill passed
the lower house, but failed to pass the
senate, and thereby did not become a
law
"The only game bills that passed
were the two bills affecting big game
One of them was putting closed
season on antelope indefinitely, and
the other the big game law which
takes the place of the old one.
This new big game law prohibits
the killing of more than one deer-and
that of the male deer only. Under
this law a deer is the only big game
animal that may be legally killed in
this state.
practically the old game and fish
laws, with the exception of the above,
are now in full force and effect and
will remain so until changed by a fu-
ture legislature.
prairie chickens may be legally
killed next fall from Sept. 10 to Oct.
1O-the limit being ten birds per day
and not over twenty-five in possession
of a person at any one time.
"All bills relating to fish and fur
bearing animals failed to pass, as did
also the game and fish commission
bill.
New county game wardens will be
appointed on July LIST throughout the
state, to serve for one year.
THE state game warden has already
sent communications to the various
boards of county commissioners In re-
gard to the recommendation for APP
pointment of county game wardens.

biscuit made from common alfalfa
from the big alfalfa show at West
ern Products exhibition at Omaha the
last OF January and myself and fam
lily tried to eat it and we are still
at the job. very much prefer to eat
the mutton, beef and poultry made
from alfalfa to eating the alfalfa IT
self. Man will probably never develop
bovine stomach"
The past season we raised alfalfa
plants by sowing seed In rows with q
garden drill and cultivating with a
wheel hoe, much the same as for car
rOts and beets. The plants made a
strong growth and were dug up late In
the fall and are now heeled in out
doors with manure over the earth.
They will be desirable for transplant
ing three to four feet apart each way
in good garden soil ahd should Be
given thorough cultivation. This will
encourage the free production Of seed.
Transplanting alfalfa plants Is moth
ing new as 1t has long been practiced
In parts of India and South America.
In dry regions alfalfa seed is now
often raised In cultivated rows. Crow
ing alfalfa for seed and hay are two
different propositions
1t must be remembered that very
large number of different strains Of
alfalfas were found growing wild in
Siberia and I tried to secure them
from regions that correspond to the
various parts Of the prairie northwest
Some OF these alfalfas, think, will
be better adapted to the extreme north
than to the south. The seed gathered
on my last trips to Siberia in 1906 and
1908 was scattered in a great many
places from our Mexican boundary
north into Alaska. had nothing to
do with this distribution as 1t was
done from Washington. However, l
have worked patiently along with q
small quantity Of each lot and am
ready to send out few Of the best of
these for trial elsewhere. No seeds
can be spared, but plants only. Some
of the best Of these alfalfas have been
started from a teaspoonful Of seed. 90
that it has been slow work. The small
state appropriation will stimulate the
work as there are no federal funds
available for this purpose.

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That hardly Seems Credit
able to the Generous instincts
Of the RAGS.

According to q statement before q
meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society Of the Presbytery Of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr Of Harrisburg, Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic Of "Frenzied Fl
nance In Missions" In urging the so
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity. $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost I'M
noticed except by few. who saw the
pertinence and logic OF the remark.

Truly Noble Red Man Dead

Wakpala-Mad Bear, who except
for John Grass, is the last of the
old generation of Sioux Indian chiefs,
Is dead. He was the leader of the
band which rescued the white family
from the Santees in 1868, near here.
He gave his favorite saddle horse as a
ransom for the white woman from
the hostiles, and with his little band
of friendlies escorted them to Fort
Pierre and turned them over to the
military, Mad Bear was greatly disap-
pointed that all efforts to induce con-
gress to grant him and his band .
medal for their act was unavailing.

Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chances of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,
but not if Electric Bitters be used,
as Robert Madison. of West Burling-
ton. Ia. proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months of suffer.
ing from virulent liver trouble and
yellow jaundice. He was then COM
pletely cured by Electric Bitters.

DOING GOOD WORK.

Miss Jean Gordon, who recently
resigned the office of factory inspec-
tor in New Orleans, will not give
up the work entirely. She will give
free as much of her time as her du-
ties will permit. She will continue
to keep an interest in the employ
ment bureau which she established
in connection with the work of fac
tory inspection and will direct this
branch as far as possible.
Miss Gordon established the
scholarship fund which is main
tanned by a small appropriation
from the city, the dues of the men,
bers of the New Era club and dona-
lions. This fund enables a mother
to receive the wages her child would
be earning in the factory while he is
kept at school. This is done when
the child's labor is necessary for the
support of the family.

Amateur Musicians Should Look for
the Exceptional Notes and Pas
saaes Requiring Aocentuatlon.

IL those amateur musicians who
lament, ooh, If | could only play
with expression" would only culti-
vate the habit Of looking a little
closer for the marks Of expression,
their playing would be attended with
better results. Here are just a few
Of the points for which student
should search before he has discon-
tinued his investigation Of the work.
After reading the piece through,
and before attempting to play it,
we should always look for the ex-
pressive elements in it-thet is to
say, the notes which are exceptional
to meter, rhythm, key or mode; in
other words, for the syncopations,
long and short notes occurring by
exception, repetitions, higher or low
er auxiliary notes, chromatio notes,
intervals or chords, high notes re-
placing low notes, notes which
change the direction or plan Of the
irhythmical design, suspensions or
appogiaturas, etc. The pupil should
discover the notes and passages re-
quiring accentuation, and should
mark them himself, accents, stops,
f's, SIS, ifs, p's, pp's, ETC., and cor
rect all the faulty expression marks.
In this way the player may come
nearer to the composers intention
and make his music more interest
ing to his hearers.-M. Mathis
Lussy.
