The annual convention of the South
Dakota Rural Carriers Association,
which was held in this city Wednesday
and Thursday of last week was one of
the best attended and most successful
meetings that the organization ever
held. Nearly a hundred visitors were
in the city, and the sessions are report
ed to have been of much interest to
the members.
The visitors were highly pleased
with Brookings and were very appre-
ciative of the hospitable treatment ac-
corded them. On Wednesday after
noon they were taken for a ride about
the city and to the college, where they
were shown through the various de-
partments, and in the evening the
band gave a special concert for them.
Their meetings held at the as
sembly room of the city hall, and they
were given the privilege of the Com
mercial Club rooms
The opening session was held on
Wednesday morning, with addresses
of welcome by w. M. Cheever on be-
half of the city and President Philo
Hall for the Commercial Club. Presi-
dent Sargent of the association, re-
sponded. Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Blakely was expected to be
present, but was unable to come and
his place on the afternoon program
was taken by Postal Inspector Collier.
W.. d. Brown, editor of the r. F. ID.
News. was the other speaker of the
afternoon.
On Thursday addresses on good
roads were given by E. c.. Issenhuth OF
Redfield, and Prof. H. C. Solberg, OF
the State College. The general discus
sions had to do with. the improvement
of the service, the question Of salaries
and expenses and the probable IN
crease in the requirements Of the ser.
vice by reason Of the growth of the
parcel post system. One interesting
fact was brought out-that there were
about $4,000 rural carriers in the Unit.
ed States, and the service was extend
ing every year. In this state there are
56S carriers at the present time.
The officers elected we're as follows:

days Iroquois Chief:
The midsummer meeting of the
South Dakota Press Association held
in Watertown last week was profitable
from a business standpoint and pleas
ant from the standpoint of entertain
ment. The business sessions digested
a number of topics that were of value
to the newspaper profession and dis
cussed various subjects that bear close
ly upon the difference between ucces
and failure Of the business end OF a
print shop. The attendance was fair
but not what it should have been.
Members of the association who do not
attend these meetings are losing
money by staying at home. The
sooner they begin to realize this the
better 1t will be for both themselves
and the association.
Watertown, through it's Commercial
Club, special committees and local
newspaper people extended the glad
hand in a manner that made every in
dividual visitor feel at home. Among
the entertainment features were a
band concert by the Fourth Regiment
Band, followed by an informal recep-
ton and dance at the Elks home. Fri
day the editorial party was taken in
automobiles furnished by the citizens
and after driving all over the city
headed for Lake Kampeska where the
day was delightfully."- spent. The pro-
gram at the lake included a fine lunch
con at the club house, a ride around
Lake kampeska in the pleasure boat

novel contests with valuable prizes
for winners, contributed by Watertown
business men, winding up with an
hour or two Of boating and fishing. the

had not been harvested, but it was a
Godsend nevertheless, as the streams
