JOHNSON PASSES ON PRIMARY
Attorney General Holds That "Unit
Representation" Means Party
Vote.

A dispatch to the dailies from Pierre
says that on inquiry from Charles Mix
county, Attorney General Johnson
holds that section 20" of the new pri-
mary law holds that the words unit
representation" In that section mean
that the proposal committeeman is to
cast the total party vote as shown by
the last official primary returns of his
precinct or county in a proposal meet
ing. In regard to the last three lines
of that section he holds they might be
cited as sustaining some other con-
struction, but he Is satisfied that they
do not apply for the reason that up
to the present time there has been
no vote at any primary in favor of
either majority or minority committee
proposals, and further that the word
ing of these three lines Is so indein-
lite and ambiguous that a construction
of them is practically impossible.
He also holds that there is no pro-
vision for payment of mileage for
attendance at the meetings to be held

THIRD ANNUAL
POULTRY SHOW
Is A GREAT SUCCESS. IT WAS
HELD At REpFIELp LAST
WEEK
NEARLY 500 BIRDS WERE ON EXHIBITION
Poultry Industry Has Become Reeog.
mixed az One Of the Greatest
Food Producers.

To the farmer the poultry show at
Redield last week was an opportunity
of no small importance. The relative
value of the chicken to the farm as a
whole has been treated with only pass.
Ing attention, but as farmers and grow
ers Of farm stock-be 1t horses, cat
tie, hogs, sheep or poultry, have 1t
called to their attention that good
farming necessitates good business
management. better stock and better
poultry is taking the place of the mon.
grel breeds Of the past.
About six hundred birds were en-
tered and from many standpoints the
show was a great success not only in
the excellent quality of the different
breeds on exhibition but in the fact
that the show while gaining In iterest
slowly, is nevertheless gaining. The
poultry industry has become recog.
nized as one of the greatest producers
of food in the country.
To one cognizant of the possibilities
of poultry 1t Is readily apparent that
1t Is no more expensive to keep a hen
that will lay from 200 to $50 eggs per
year as an average than 1t Is to keep q
hen that will lay but 60 as shown by
the census and statistics. 1t Is mere.
ly a matter Of breeding to achieve this
result. 1t differs in no material re-
spect from the breeding and selection
Of cattle to secure the maximum Of
butter fat.
1t might be of passing interest to
mention that as an example of the
standing and growth of the poultry
business, Iowa, as a state a be taken
as an excellent example. OF this
state the egg product sold for SIS, O00,-
10000 last year, suppose that the av-
erage was just three times as much
as at the present as given by the fed
eral census for the u. s. Look at the
vast sum that could be made in the
state of Iowa alone.

She moved to South Dakota with
her parents about two years ago last
spring and they have resided on a
farm about seven miles northwest of
Brookings since that time. When she
was about two and one-half years old
she was stricken with affection of the
heart which through the years grew
worse until the affliction claimed her
in death. During these years she suf-
fered much but has borne up with a
patience and gentleness which en-
deared her to all who knew her. Her
going has left a vacant place In the
home but has given a rich incentive
for her loved one to greet her In the
Home Eternal.

OBITUARY

Michael Eberlein was born in Ger
many or August 9Th, 1886, and came
to America in 1856, settling at Aurora,
ILL.,, where he made his home until
1876, when he removed to Grundy
county, Iowa.
In March of 1862, he was united in
marriage to Helena Caroline Bailey
and to this union was born even chill
dren, four of whom died in infancy
and Hannah, better known as Mrs. G..
N. Kennard, preceding her father to
that better country about eight years
ago. Two sons G.. A. and L. A. reside
near Brookings. 8. D.
Father Eberlein was an expert ma
chinist by trade but in 1876, on account
Of impaired health he removed to d
farm in Grundy county. Iowa, and re-
NAMED on the farm until coming to
%Brookings in 1899 when he retired
from active labor and enjoyed a rest
which he so well deserved. For sew.
eral years he has not been robust but
early in the fall a decided decline was
noticed and about five weeks ago he
was taken to his bed from which he
never rallied but slipped away to that
better world on December 21st, 1913,
aged II years. 4 months and Is days.
In 1860 he was converted and united
with the German Evangelical church
in Aurora, ILL.,, transferring his men,
bership to Iowa on moving west. He
was a very ardent follower of Christ
and when in Iowa rarely ever missed
church services always counting them
a delight and not a burden. But on
coming to Brookings he found no Ger
man church and not being able to fol-
low a discourse intelligently that was
made in English he rarely was seer in
church but kept the Sabbath diligent-
ly reading his religious journals and
his bible and observing his home wor-
ship.
He vas deeply interested in his fam
ily's welfare and was constantly en-
deavoring to do deeds of kindness that
would help them along. He leaves to
mourn his loss a wife, the two sons
mentioned above, one brother older
than he in Aurora. ILL.,, one son-inlaw,
Mr.. G.. N. Kennard of this CITY. twenty
three grandchildren and three great
grandchildren besides a large con-
course Of other relatives and friends.
His has been a long and useful life
and he now rests from his labors and
his works do follow him.
The funeral services were held from
the residence on Tuesday, December
23rd, conducted by Rev. r. A. Bruce,
pastor of the M. E. church and inter-
ment was had in Greenwood cemetery.

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS

A graceful finish Is n of the most
essential touches of any successful
venture. The pianist does not drop
his hands abruptly from the keys as
as he has played the last note,
but holds them there a moment longer
until the music dies away. Diners out
would be indignant If the table were
whisked clean the moment the last
mouthful was swallowed. They find
the lingering on a little while over the
coffee and nuts most delightful.
Christmas Is too beautiful and too
solemn a festival to drop in this hasty
fashion the moment the clock strikes
midnight, for any occasion which
needs especial preparation also needs
an adequate closing, and particularly
is this true of those things whose
value lies in sentiment.
There are many things to be done
after Christmas. There are letters to
be written, houses to be put in order,
gifts to be arranged, and every one of
the countless details may be done
either with grace or without 1t. In the
theater the final curtain falls with fit.
ting dignity or appropriate gayety. 1t
has all been a play; but, even So, the
actors do not walk of after the last
word is said, and allow the stage
hands to rush On. That would offend
the mood Of the audience. How much
truer this is Of something which is not
a play but a very real part of life!
The days after Christmas should be
as mystical in their way as were the
days before Christmas. The orna.
ments that decked the tree should be
put away with the same care and
pleasure with which they were brought
out, the greens taken down with the
same merriment that accompanied
their going up. The afterglow Is
sometimes the most beautiful part Of
the sunset, and sometimes 1t is even
more beautiful than the sunset itself.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
Interesting Session. Railway Commit.
tee Reports $17,t00 Raised
For The Electric

The meeting of the Commercial Club
on Tuesday evening was well attended
considering that 1t was right in the
midst of the holiday season when
most of u business men have their
hands full of their own personal mat
tiers. What it lacked in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm and many mat
tiers of interest were disposed of.
The railway committee reported
that an additional $4,000 had been
raised since the last meeting making
the total subscription $17,100 leaving
$4,000 yet to be raised. Messrs R. H.
Ough and w. H. Brown, who have been
representing the interests Of the Elec-
trio Short Line decided that it was too
close to Christmas to accomplish much
and returned to Minneapolis for a few
days, saying that On account of run
ming into the holiday season a short
extension of time would be granted in
which to raise the balance.
The laundry committee recommend
ed that all those who had subscribed
to the guarantee fund be notified by
the secretary that it would be optional
with them whether they received a
laundry ticket or return Of their check
by calling at his office, but expressed
the hope that each individual would
use the tickets. Mr.. Mccormick was
doing everything to give Bookings a
first class laundry and deserved all the
boost we a give him.
1t was reported that there were sew
eral funds lying around loose with no
n to father them and the suggestion
made that, if possible, they be con-
verted into the treasury of the club.
These several funds had been used
in the past for boosting purposes by
various committees and the surplus
was lying idle in the bank. The nee
essary action was taken by the club.
Frank Sherwin, president of our
local Farmers Institute Association,
was present and urged a more hearty
cooperation on the part of our bust
ness men in making the coming insti-
tute a success which seemed to meet
with hearty approval.
Prof. r. F. Kerr reported the com.
pletion of the Lake Campbell dam and
supplemented his report by showing
several interesting photographs of the
project.
Charles z. Hall made a strong plea
for a more vigorous publicity cam
paign for the State College and a
more hearty cooperation OF the part
of the club.
DR.. A. A. Harris made a strong talk
on the necessity of a better cooper
alton which was heartily applauded
by those present and it was too bad
that the entire membership val not
present to hear II.

HARD ON THE "kNocKER"

A correct definition Of a "knocker'
is not as common as the usage Of the
term, but an unknown brother editor
has figured out pretty closely what is
meant by the word and he has sum-
med 1t up in the following few lines:
After God had finished the rattle
snake. the toad and the vampire He
had some awful substance left, with
which he made a knocker. A knocker
is a t~wo-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, a w~atersogged brain and
a combination back bone made of jelly
and glue. Where other people have
their hearts he carries a tumor of
rotten principles. When the knocker
comes down the street, honest men
turn their backs, the angels in heaven
take precipitate refuge behind their
harps and the devil bariocks the gates
Of helix.

WORKS AUTOMATICALLY

An automatic electric lighting plant,
designed for private house use, Is
mounted on two cross Orders for con-
venient portability, and comprises an
oil engine, dynamo, automatic starting
and water tank.
The small battery also supplied has
a capacity much below that of the
charging plant. The apparatus is so
designed that while the battery Is
charged and not at work the engine is
at rest. and 1t continues at rest while
the lamps turned On are being fed suf-
iciently by the stored current.
But when the battery voltage falls
below a certain point the automatic
switch sets the machinery in motion.
The starting current-Quickly cut on
by a time-limit circuit breaker-turns
the dynamo, and this starts the en-
CINE, which run as long as needed.
When the lessened ID Of current
permits the battery to become sum-
GENTLY charged the switch stops the

BIG BALANCE IN GAME FUND

The report Of the state game warden
for the fiscal year ending June 80 last
has been filed with the governor,
showing that the receipts for such
year were ~$47.759.13, with expendi-
lures of $4,986.13, leaving a balance in
the fund of $42,773 at the end Of that
year. The report calls attention to
the marked decrease in the number of
deer in the Black Hills section of the
state, which is attributed to the severe
winter Of the previous year. with the
depressions from wolves on account
of the deep snow hampering the deer
in their efforts to avoid wolves. Pro
lection of squirrels Ii asked by the
next legislature.
