n LOTTERY MAN

What viii probably prove to be a
most diverting comedy will be The
Lottery Man the three act comedy
of Rida Johnson Young, which ran for
six months at the Bijou Theatre, New
York with Herbert Thayer in the title
role. Under the direction Of the
Shuberts the play will be brought to
the Grand opera house next Wednes-
day evening, September II.
The title comes from a situation in
the play. Jack Wright, the character
played by Mr.. Thayer, is a reporter on
a metropolitan paper. He gets a tip
on Wall Street and borrows money
from Foxy Payton, proprietor of the
paper, promising that if his tip fails he
will make good by giving the paper one
of the biggest scoops" it has ever
had. He loses the money and the idea
of the scoop is to conduct a lottery,
the chief prize of which is a young
husband, he himself to be the victim.
There is a sweetheart in the case and
an old maid who wins the lucky num-
Der. The question is-which OF the
two gets the man?

WE MAY HAVE LIGHTS

At the regular meeting of the city
council Monday evening the petition
for cluster lights on Main street was
presented and referred to the electric
light committee. The petition was
signed by just two-thirds of the voters
of the city, figuring the vote cast the
last time for mayor and that was a big
one. Some members Of the council
are known to be opposed to the move
ment, while others are for it, for the
very good reason that a majority of
the taxpayers want it-and that
should be reason enough for anyone.
However. We believe that those who
are opposed to it are disposed TO be
fair and a little cooperation from the
business mon will likely result in this
much needed improvement being in
stalled.

PUBLIC o OPEN

The %Brookings public schools open
ed on Monday for the years work,
with a much larger enrolment than
a year ago. Not much was done the
first day, but Tuesday morning
classes proceeded as though school
had been in session several weeks.
On the opening day there were 1874
enrolled in the high school and it is
expected that at least 225 will be en-
rolled by the close of the month. In
the grades there were $50, an increase
of ~thirty-eight over last year.
The domestic science and manual
training departments are full and the
students are taking much interest in
their work.
Miss Ostroot, instructor of music,
is organizing a chorus and orchestra
in the high school, which should be a
good feature of the school life.
The seventh and eighth GRADES has
been organized on the departmental
system, similar TO the high school,
with a teacher for each subject, and
this is expected to give more satisfac
tory instruction. Miss Winifred Glea
son has been made principal Of two
grades.
The football boys are already in
training under Coach Patty and the
prospects are good for a winning
team. Some good men were lost last

HOSPITAL NOTES

Interest is growing steadily in the
d~eaconess plan.
The deaconess makes her chal-
lenge to the people, MY life-your
money! She gives her time and
ability freely, asking nothing again
Shall not the people respond with the
gift of the building in which she may
do the work? Upon such cooperation
depends the issue of the Bookings
hospital.
Interest in the hospital project was
extended throughout the WatertoWn
District of the Dakota Methodist con-
ference by Miss Wilson's address at
the Epworth League convention in
Trenton township last week. The
young people passed favorable resolu-
tons and stand ready to raise money
for necessary improvements and ad-
ditional equipment as soon as it Is
certain that the property will be pur.
chased for the Deaconess Association.
Citizens of Brookings brought the
preachers from other towns who were
in attendance at the Epworth League
convention to the city in automobiles
on Tuesday evening and conducted
them through the hospital building.
These men expressed themselves as
pleased with the property and loca-
ton and willing to help to interest the
people Of the district In its purchase
and maintenance. o. E. Boyce. dis
trict superintendent, also visited the

paign for raising funds.
The Ministerial Association of
Brookings met on Friday last and vot-
ed to extend for one week the union
services held on Sunday evenings
through the summer, in order to hold
a service in the hospital interest. On
Sunday evening a fine audience gath
cred. Pastor Black presided. Excel
lent music was furnished by an or
chestra under the skilled direction Of
Prof. Christensen. Miss Lillian
Breed read effectively the Leper
Scene from Ben Hurr. DR.. Tilden led
in prayer. Marie Wilson gave the
main address of the evening present
ing a broad view of the ~deaconess'
work in America and explaining its
relation to the hospital problem in
Brookings. She was followed by Pas
tors Hoffman and Won Tobel in brief
addresses encouraging the movement
begun here. Many questions that have
been in the minds of the sisterhood
we're answered at this meeting and
much favorable sentiment created.
Monday morning the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION held it's regular meeting,
Pastors Tilden, Won Tobel, Black Gard
ner and Hoffman present. After
thorough discussion and careful con-
s%ideration of the plan suggested by
Miss Wilson the following resolution
was moved by A. F. Won Tobel second
ed by DR.. Tilden and unanimously car
ried that the Ministerial Association
favors turning over the Brookings hos
to the Methodist Deaconess AS
ISOLATION.
The Deaconess hospital in Great
Falls, Montana, treated 1909 patients
last year. These represented thirty
five religious denominations from
Baptists, Prosbyterians,
and Catholics to Mormons
and Latter Day Saints. Ninety occu-
were represented, and nation
alities included fifteen countries and
thirty-four states. This hospital was
about ten years ago.

here the coming spring. This is the
record price for Brookings county
land, but the farm is a fine one, well

worth every CEN that Mr.. Crosser
paid for it and will make him a me

NOTHING DOING

The state fair management has set
next Thursday as Brookings County
Dav. at the fair, but it is not probable
that any organized effort will be made
here TO secure a crowd for that day.
A large number OF people from this
county will probably go up on that
day, but there is not likely to be the
showing that was made last year.

Miss Halle Hyde goes to Des
position as head of the domestic
science department of the Des Moines

usually good training in this line and
her Brookings friends are confident

work. Des MOines college is a Bap-
fist institution and has a large en-
rollment.

THE BR00K|NGS
COUNTY FAIR
PROMISES TO BE BIGGER AND
BETTER THAN EVER FOR
THIS YEAR
FAIR DATES ARE SEPTEMBER 1918
Plans Are Made For Bui
Educational Building :
Grounds-Good Time .

The Brookings coun fair this
year will be held on Tues 8 Wednes-
day and Thursday, Sept, : er II, Is,
and 10. The fair this y Z promises
to be a very good Z le, both
from an exhibit and atten ce stand
point. The unusually good crop will
assure a fine exhibit Of products of
the soil, the ladies will make their
usual fine showing, and the line OF
amusement provided should attract
big crowds.
The management has been hot after
a carnival company for some time and
believe that they have now secured a
good one. They had n under con-
tract, but it disbanded owing to finan-
cial difficulties and this week a deal
was practically closed with the indie
pendent Carnival Company to come to
Brookings. This company will have
six shows on Main street, as we'll as
furnish some free attractions, and all
will be good, clean amusement. The
races and other amusements will be
high-class.
The fair board met Monday and de-
cided to commence the erection Of the
Educational building on the fair
grounds Immediately. The main part
and one wing will be built this year
and it is hoped that it can be COM
pleted next year. The schools OF the
county and the ladies Of Brookings
have raised about five hundred dol
lars to be applied to the building fund,
and the building will be the property
of the schools and for the use of their
exhibit only.
The interest in the township ex-
hibit is growing and quite a number
are expected to enter this year.
One exhibit of interest this year
will be a collection of old time farm
machinery. An old w~ire-binder,
a cradle, and other out of late ma
chinery have already been u
and others are promised. The man
agement would like to get an old
Marsh reaper and if anyone knows OF
such a machine they should communl-
cate with the secretary, R. F. Kerr.
A feature of the fair will be a poll
tical address by some good speaker
each day. The republican Will speak
the first day, the democrat the second
and the socialist the third. The so
cialist speaker will be a prominent
member of that party from Oklahoma
and Chairman Coffey of the demo
cratic state committee, has promised
to provide a good representative from
his party. The republican has not as
yet been secured.
Every citizen of the county should
boost for the fair. Come in and bring
your neighbors and above all bring
something for the exhibit.

ing, and it seemed as though about
everyone in town was there. The
gross receipts were about two hun.
dred dollars, with some small ex-
pcnsc, but the net result is a fine
boost for the building fund. The
ladies who had the affair in charge
are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of their labors.

On the Republican side Congressman

the Fifth district Mr.. Charles w.

lieve that he will enter the race again.
There is also a likelihood of Senator Zihl-
man. of Allegany County, being can
didate.
Because of the early primary it is ex-
pected that candidates will enter the
race in few weeks and the fights will
be on. The early primaries mean long
drawn-out campaign for the nominees.
Under the law the Congressional candi-
dates are nominated by the direct vote
of the people.

Five patriots, or else not,
stirred up a tempest in teapot
last Monday night over the cleo
ton of Hon. Murray Nandiver
as State Treasurer, and ii all
amounted to nothing but lit
tie more free advertising for the
benefit of the Republicans. The
patriots were much surprised
and disappointed that they
could muster only a paltry six.
The reason for the great farce
is apparent the Democrats are
getting tired of so much play
ing to the galleries. Mr.. Van
diver has administered the
affairs of his office honestly and
the evidence was produced to
show that in the handling Of
millions of the States money
there had not been one cent
misplaced. But the object of
this little editorial is not TO pat
Mr.. Vandiver on the back or
even endorse the action of the
Legislature, but to let the peo-
pie know that the men who are
endeavoring to further their
own political fortunes at the ex-
pense of the Democratic party
are finding out rather soon in
the session of the Legislature
that the Democratic members
are getting wise to the situa-
ton.

Human HibernatiOn

Az some or the rcmoter provinces OF
Russia there are peasants who are ad-
dicted TO what Is practically hiberna-
ton. When the harvest has failed
and provisions are scarce they lie
down on the top OF the great stove In
the inner room. the kitchen Of their
hut. The stove Is high. reaching al
most 10 the roof. and the space be-
tween this big brick structure and the
roof is the ordinary sleeping place OF
the family. Lying down upon the
long. fiat stove. the peasants avoid all
talking and all exertlon. except such
as Is necessary 20 keep the stove re
plenished. and they sustain life by
eating at long intervals little black
bread soaked in water. The hut Is
dark and silent through the winter.

The Adder'S Poison

One of the most wonderful things In
nature is the arrangement Of the teeth
in the mouth OF the common adder or
viper. The creature does not use Its
poison fangs when It bites the animals
on which 1t feeds. and so by a very
curious arrangement these faugs are
laid back fat in the roof Of the mouth
out OF the way OF the ordinary teeth
which are used for feeding. By this
means the adder can use whichever
set Of teeth 1t pleases: one set will poi
son its enemy and the other is more
suitable for eating its food.
