Better Babies Contest have finally
been completed and were brought to

reason it was found necessary to hold
a second contest and the announce

prize winner of the first contest, John
Langdon Culhane, did not participate
in the second examination. The stand

ty has more Better Babies than n
other part of the United States, as the
results show a higher average than
has been shown at other contests in
the country. The Register expects to
have a complete write-up of the affair
and pictures of some of the other win
ners next week. The standing as an

The library board has received the
assurance from Andrew Carnegie that
he will donate $4,000 for the building,
provided the city would furnish the

ON TO SIOUX FALLS

The Sioux Falls Commercial Club
has arranged for a game between the
North Dakota Agricultural College and
South Dakota State College on the
18th Of October. The coach of the
North Dakota team was for several
years a popular athletic director in
the Sioux Falls high school, therefore.
he will have considerable roofing"
support in Sioux Falls. Inasmuch as
this will be a close game, it behooves
the college and the town to make a
great showing in attendance. The fol-
lowing abstract from a letter received
from the secretary OF the Sioux Falls
Commercial Club Is self explanatory:
II would like to see a crowd OF two
hundred and fifty out Of Brookings
for this game. Coach Woods formerly
OF this city, who is nov in charge of
the athletics of the Agricultural Col
lege of North Dakota, is going after
your scalp, and he will have a lot Of
rooters in this city, owing to his long
connection with this department in
our city schools"
The college students are making ar
rangements for a special train and ex-
pect to take down a crowd Of over
200. The citizens OF Brookings should
cooperate with the students in making
this event q success and showing Sioux
Falls that we are q real i've town.

M. &.

The Dakota conference Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church adjourned it's
1913 session Of the annual conference
held in Redfield on Sunday. The SEES
sion was remarkable for at least two
events. One was the ratifying of the
merger whereby the Black Hills mis-
sion and Dakota conference were
merged, making one conference of the
entire state, to be known as the Da-
kota conference.
The other action taken by the con
ference was the vote to approve the
action Of the church federation So
ciety Of the Congregational, Presby.
terrain and Methodist churches, one
feature of which was an agreement to
an exchange of churches in the smaller
places where it was not feasible to
maintain more than one denomination.
There were a great many changes in
the appointments for the coming year.
The district superintendent remain as
last year-Aberdeen district, j. s.

cATLETT MAKES TEAM

Bland Catlett of this city, is making
good with a vengeance in football at
the University Of Michigan. He has
made the first team as left halfback
and was in the game against Case Sat-
urday in that position. The dailies
spoke highly of his work in that game,
he making several sensational runs.
The dailies state the Michigan back
field is the highest but the fastest
bunch of groundgainers the team has
had in years. A copy of the Detroit
Free Press reaches us with the follow
ing mention Of Catlett's work: Cat
lett came back today into his old form.
Every time this little demon grabbed
hold OF the ball for a run, the coaches,
OF whom about a half dozen crowded
the playing field in the practice scrim-
mage, would begin to grin. And very
seldom was the grin changed into a
scowl. Bug runs with a short choppy
gallop that makes him awfully hard to
tackle, and what is better he never
stops. He doesn't know how. 1t is
only when about three scrubs sweep
themselves about his legs and another
trio stack up in front of him that this
little South Dakota demon consents to
a his wild actions. He made n
touchdown this afternoon and he had
to go through the entire scrub team to
do It."

COLLEGE

Carleton College of Northfield,
Mimi, will play South Dakota State
College in States first regular game
on the local field next Saturday. At
this time State College has hopes of
redeeming herself from the defeat by
Carleton last year. Coach Ewing is
not giving out any prophesy OF the
probable outcome, but it Is expected
that his proteges will give a good ac-
count OF themselves.
On October Is, State plays the North
Dakota aggies at Sioux Falls under the
auspices of the Sioux Falls CONNER
cial Club. Coach Woods of North
Dakota was for several years a popu.
lar athletic coach in the Sioux Falls

MUCH BUILDING AT RRookINGs

Paul butcher, editor and publisher
of Brookings Register, spent the
n the city visiting his brother, w.
4 butcher, manager of the job de-
: .rtment of the News Printing Com
pany. Mr.. butcher reports that Brook
ings has been doing considerable build
ing this season and is laying plans for
more extensive building operations
for next spring.
Mr.. butcher said: 'Brookings and
Brookings county are destinctively on
the map at present with their good
crops and building operations. The
state has just completed a fine new
building costing $780, 900 at the State
College.
The government is busy erecting
the new p~ostofice building at a cost
of $4,000. Several new brick bust
ness blocks have just been completed
by our ~enterprising townsman, J. H.
Roberts, and are now occupied by

"Philo Hall, president of the Com
mercial Club, and several business
men owning lots e the new govern
ment building are contemplating the
erection of a large three-story and
basement building for next spring and
we understand that plans for this
building are now in the hands Of al
architect. Numerous new dwelling
houses are going up with a strong de-
mand for more.
Il have lived in Brookings over
twenty years and in all that time
have never seen such a demand for
houses las there is at the present time.
Everything points toward the largest
attendance at the State College that
it has ever had in it's history."-Aber-

CECIL SKINNER INJURED

Cecil Skinner, the Brookings boy
who is attending the University Of
Michigan, sustained a broken collar
bone while playing football last week.
The fracture was not a serious one,
and Cecil wired home that he would
be back in the game in a couple of
weeks, but 1t is thought that he will
be lucky IL he plays again this season.
He had shown unusual football ability
in his first year and was playing quar-.
terback on the Freshman team when
he was injured. His work had attract
ed the attention Of the coaches and he
has been picked as likely varsity ma

Brookings County's Best Baby

John Langdon Culhane, aged
two years and nine months, won
the sweepstakes at the Better
Babies Contest for Brookings
county, held in connection with
the county fair, scoring 99.5 per
cent. John Langdon is a fine,
robust little chap and as good
natured as he is healthy. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. E.
Culhane of Brookings. 1t Is
worthy of note that both of the
parents of the Prize Baby are
graduates of the State College,
completing their course in the
same year, 1901. Mrs. Culhane
was Miss Lillian Langdon of
Parker. After completing his
work here Mr.. Culhane gradual
ed from the law department of
the University of Minnesota, and
returned to Brookings to prac-

THE NEW GAME BIRDS

This week there will be turned loose
in the county a number of Monaghan,
or ring-necked ~pheasants. They are
to be placed in pairs or trios in differ
ent sections Of the country in the care
of such persons as have applied to the
state game warden for the same. All
requirements r met, such as timber,
with undergrowth, with plenty of liv-
ing water. They must not be too
houses or barns, neither where there
are dogs to modest them. If a hard
winter follows they may need some
attention In the way of providing them
with grain of some kind, preferably
field corr They are supposed to be
as hardy as u native game birds.
It Is to be hoped that the sportsman
ship spirit of the people of the county
will see that these birds have a fair
chance to increase and multiply so
that in a few years they may become
plentiful as game birds. They
are now protected by law, 1t being a
fine of not less than SO ito kill, hunt,
trap in any manner, or pursue" any
kind of pheasants running wild ia this
state.
Young ~pheasants, especially female
chicks. resemble somewhat our prairie
chickens but in hunting them they
will not hold cover like the grouse
family. They will run from a dog
and probably not rise for some dis
lance, neither do they fly like a chick
en-, so that it is not easy to make a
mistake or claim to make one. We
notice that it has already cost one fell
low some sixteen dollars TO run one
down and kill 1t, as he said, by mis-
take. Let everyone in the county do
his best to protect these birds and
give them a chance to propagate. in

STATE DEFEATS HURON

The State College football team
overwhelmed Huron college in the
first game of the season at the college
park Saturday afternoon. The score
was AZ to 0. A slight drizzle fell dur
ing the first part Of the game, making
the ball rather difficult to handle, but
fumbling was not very noticeable on
either team. A good crowd of fans
We're out to e the game in spite of
the threatening weather.
Brookings got the jump on the visit
ors at the start of the game, scoring
within the first five minutes, and there
after it was a procession to the Huron
goal line at regular intervals through
out the contest. The Huron boys
fought well, but Brookings fought a
little better, displaying splendid team
work and brilliant individual play.
Most of Brookings' gains were made
through the line, the local forwards
completely outplaying their opponents.
Coach Ewing's men displayed splen-
did team spirit as well as good coach
ing, and it looks as though State was
due for a successful season.
The most spectacular feature of the
game came in the last quarter when
Miller of Brookings, ran through the
entire visiting team eighty-fve yards
for a touchdown. This was not the
only brilliant stunt pulled off by the
speedy Bookings boy, as he played
splendidly at end and ran the team in
good shape and gained consistently
after he had replaced Sheehan at quar-
ter. Caldwell was another good ground
g%rainer for Brookings and Peterson at
fullback was good. The entire Brook
ings line played hard football, Captain
Chappell being particularly effective
on defense. Otto Hanson got a chance
at end after Miller went to quarter and
showed up we'll.
The teams liner up as follows:

Can Increase WEIGHT

Thin men and women who would like
TO increase their weight with 10 or -
pounds Of healthy stay there" fat
should try eating n little Sargol with
their meals for while and note re
suits. Here is good test worth trying.
First weigh yourself and then measure
yourself. Then take Sargol-one tablet
with every meal-for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. 1t isn't a
question OF how you look or feel or
wha- your friends may say and think.
The scales and the tape measure Will
tell their own story. and most any thin
man or woman can easily add from
five to eight pounds in the first four
teen days by following this simple di-
rection. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make fat. but
mixing with your food. IL turns the
fats, sugars and Starches of what YOU
hayc eaten into rich, ripe, fat prOduc-
