r TO RETIRE

Congressman Charles H. Burke, Of
the Second South Dakota district, Is to
retire from public life at the close of
his present term In congress. Monday
he issued a formal statement declar-
ing that he will not be a candidate for
reelection and also will not seek the
seat in the senate now held by Senator
Crawford.
Mr.. Burke said: my physical con-
dition the past year has caused me to
consider the advisability of retiring
from public life, and l have contemplat-
ed for some time not being a candidate
for reelection. I have now decided
not to be a candidate for the reason
stated, and for the same reason will
not be a candidate for any other office.
I am deeply grateful to the people Of
South Dakota for their long continued
confidence, and particularly to those
personal friends who have for so many
years made my political success posi-

STATE LANDS SOLD

The state land department has Just
finished the compiling of figures which
show that the state has sold 400 ,61S
acres of state school lands since the
beginning of statehood, at a total price
of $9,723,359. In comparison, the -eal
estate values fixed by the state tax
commission show that had this land
been held its value today would have
been $1S,467, 064. While this shows
in one way a material loss to the state
by rushing sales, the money derived
from such sales has brought in interest
about eigh million dollars, as an Offset,
and the same lands have been paying
general taxes for years, where they
would have remained untaxable IL not
sold. The state yet holds 1893, 1926
ere of school lands, which on a basis
of valuation of lands in the counties
where these state lands are situate,
would be $34,964,6 $50. This added to
the cash now on hand would give the
state a permanent income on about
forty-five million dollars. While the
present value figures on the lands sold,
If they were to be based on the assess.
ment figures of this year would be
s14.57 per acre, the real average SELL
ing price has been $2374.

BETTER BABY CONTEST

The Better Babies Contest which has
been extensively advertised in the
Register for some weeks will be held
on Friday afternoon, September 26,
BEGINNING at one o'clock in the after.
noon. The contest will be held at the
rooms of the Brookings Commercial
Club, as that is a more suitable place
than the fair grounds. There is con.
siderable interest in the contest and
a large number of entries are promised.
We wish to emphasize the point that
this is not a Brookings affair, but a
contest for the whole county and the
Civic League which is in charge is
especially DESTROYS of getting a large
number of entries from every section
of the county. The physicians from all
over the county have agreed to CO.
operate with the ladies in making the
contest a success Liberal prizes will
be awarded, but of course no mother
will enter her baby simply to win a
prize. By showing the mothers how
to better their babies the contest is
expected to do much to improve COM
ing generations of the county. Re-
member this is not a beauty contest,
but that the baby with the best physi-
cal development will win the prize.
The contest has three classes for
boys and three classes for the girls,
with first and second prizes for each
one. These are as follows: Six
months old and under n year, one
year old and under two year, two
years old and under three years. The
babies that enter must be at the club
rooms by one o'clock on the day Of
the contest.
Mothers who attend the fair that
day may buy a ticket in the morning,
attend the Better Babies contest in the
afternoon and then go back to the fair
on the same ticket.
For entry blanks or other informa-
ton call on or address Mrs. j. M.
Smythe, Brookings.

gift Of Mrs. o. E. Aver, formerly of
that place. Mrs. Aver on moving to
Sioux Falls wished neither to sell the
horse or to take 1t with her and found
a happy solution Of her problem in
giving 1t to the hospital.

Mr.. Raymond l.. Shelp.
The ceremony took place at seven
o'clock under a beautiful arch of ferns,
flowers and cleamatice vines, and the

Miss May Shelp, a sister of the groom,

The service was witnessed by only
the relatives and a few intimate
friends, and at eight-thirty a reception
was held at which a larger number Of
friends gathered to congratulate and
extend best wishes to the happy young

old-fashioned three-legged race, and
this has a liberal list of entries. s.. j.
Rudolph and E. c. Sheldon have enter
ed as one team and F. E. Youngburg
and R. H. Bartlett as another team
promise to give them a warm battle.
The slow race for automobiles should
provide a lot of entertainment. The
car running on high gear around the
track without killing the engine and
Two prominent entries have already
been received for this race, T. l.. Chap
peH and o. A. Hagen. Ever since the
fair boosters made a trip around the
county trere has been considerable of
rivalry between these two and the
question of which a travel the SLOW
est will be fought out or the first day
of the fair. The tug of war between
teams from the First and Third wards
and Second and Fourth wards pro-
misses a lot of excitement. w. M.
Cheever has offered a prize to the win
ners, but we have been requested not
to tell what it is as the two captains
of the teams would be swamped with
applicants. It's nature will be made
known to the contestants just before
they toe the scratch and they will
without a doubt work their heads off
to win. Other good things on the first
day are the barrel race, 10O-yard dash,
climbing the creased pole, and two
five-mile motorcycle races. So don't
stay at home for fear there will not
be enough doing or you will miss the
best day Of the fair.
The Second and Fourth wards have
selected Oscar Johnson for their cap
tain in the tug of war on the first day,
and he has the following men to select
from: Oscar Johnson, Roy Anderson,
liver Dybdahl, John Wornson, B. F.
Miller, H. X. Halvorson, T. S. LeFevre,
w. A. Caldwell, F. E. Y%oungburg, Will
Sayre, N. J.. Stevens, I. B. Johnson,
Olaf Eden. This is a beefy bunch,
but We do not think a great deal of
their ability as p~ullers, especially that
of the captain, and we look for the
other two wards, whose team is cap
tanned by Prof. H. B. Mathews, to
clean them up.
The second day there will be two
fast harness races, the 2:14 pace and
2:25 trot, both for $500 purses. Nine
entries have been received for the
first race and eight for the second,
which insures a couple of classy races.
There will also be a slow race for
Ford automobiles, and the big free
attractions will show.
The third day there will be a 800
trot for a purse of $500 and a 2:25
pace for a purse OF $500. Seven horses
have entered the first event and three
the second. There Is also another
slow race for autos and a boy mobile
race for coaster wagon mobiles.
The last day there will be two fast
races, a 2:17 pace and 2:20 trot, both
for 400. These should be the best
of the week, a there are ten horses
entered in the pace and nine in the
trot.
The free attractions will be put each
afternoon and each evening.
The North Western has granted a
rate of a fare and one-third from all
points within a hundred miles.

BURGLAR DROPS A JAR OF
RASPBERRY JELLY: FLEES

Mrs. Louise Biertuempfel. of 80
Magazine street. awoke early today
and arose to attend her daughter,
who is i'll. AS she sat talking to the
sick girl there was a loud crash
downstairs. Then a patter of feet
and then again silence.
Frightened. Mrs. Biertuempfel
raised the front window and screamed
"Policel" Around the corner Patrol
man Jones heard the call, and lit
tie further away Patrolman Walsh
hear 1t. Both ran TO the house. and
after hurried explanations started a
search for the intruder. The door
leading to the cellar was open and
footprints were found in the dust at
the head of the cellar stairs.
Aided by their electric flashlights
the patrolmen saw at the foot of the
stairs a splotch of blood. MOI It
looked like blood! A closer examina-
ton showed it to be broken jar of
raspberry jelly. Besides the pool of
Jelly there was a thin little line of
the sticky red juice along the con-
crete cellar floor, leading-where?
That was up to Jones and Walsh,
and both of them got on the trail like
bloodhounds.
Into the yard, over the fence and
into the house next door they made
their way. Sneaking cautiously in
the back door they flung open the
door of a vacant fiat on the first
floor. There he was, right there on
the floor.
In his stocking feet the fellow lay
on the floor, apparently asleep.
When the brass buttons showed be-
hind the glare of the lamp he jumped
up and asked VINO wanted him. The
police could find no one in the house
who knew him so he was placed
under arrest and locked up at the
Third precinct. He said he was
Joseph Wagner. of u Ward street.
Although the bluecoats made q
minute examination of Wagner's
hands they found no trace of jelly.
but Judge Hahn found him guilty on
a charge of vagrancy and sentenced
him to FIVE days in jail
