~GET-TOGETHER MEETING

The stockholders and others inter
ested in the Farmers Cooperative Ele-
vator held a get-together meeting or
love feast at the Commercial Club
rooms yesterday, to talk over the work
of the past year and to make plans for
the coming season. There vas a
splendid crowd present. At noon a
bountiful lunch was served by the
Presbyterian ladies, to whom much
credit is due for the excellence of the
service.
A business meeting was held in the
afternoon and we are indebted to the
secretary, Herbert Blakely for the fol-
lowing minutes:
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Frank Telkamp.
The first number was the reading of
a report of the association by the Sec
rotary showing that 163, 281 bushels of
grain, potatoes, etc., had been pur-
chased to February 1, 1914.
An excellent talk On Cooperation by
F. c. Fryer recently of Doland, and
now of Bookings, followed by a very
able talk along the same line by John
Belk of Henry, who is secretary-treas-
urer of the State Cooperative Asso-
citation. Mr.. Belk proved to be a very
able and interesting speaker, thorough
ly familiar with his topic namely, GO,
operation" He impressed very en-
phatically upon the audience, the two
chief requisites of cooperation, name
ly. Good Management" and Loyalty
of Members"
The meeting adjourned all feeling
well repaid for having attended and
pronouncing Messrs. Baldridge, Jerm-
stad, Wiley and Bulls to be royal
entertainers.

SCHOOL HOUSE INSTITUTES

The directors of the Brookings Coun-
ty Farmers Institute Association for a
long while have been discussing pro
and con the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
auxiliary meetings right out ct the
farmers door, and in his W school
house. The fact is evident thai the
distance from Brookings keeps many
of the farmers from attending the
regular annual meetings.
These matters have been mentioned
to quite a number of leading farmers
and finally a day was set and the first
meeting of this kind was held in Tren-
ton township in the Grange hall or
school house, Saturday afternoon,
January oath. At this meeting about
rs real live farmers were there and
a fine display of corn was brought in.
Crop rotation, clover, corn, potatoes
and soil conservation were the prin-
cipal topics and a lively discussion was
brought out. All the farmers present

Strengthened matters out, and the
meeting broke up. But not for half
an hour did all get away, on account
of the after meeting discussions.
On Saturday, February 7th, another
institute meeting has been called to
be held all day at the Bitterness school
house, three miles north of the city.
The ladies out there are very much in
terested, so much so that they are ex-
pecting to put on a free lunch at
noon. The meeting will open promptly
at 10 a. m. and good talent will be on
hand. If the weather is good a grand
time is expected. Frank Sherwin,

POOR STUFF

Much Argentine corn is now being
imported into this country, and deal
ers sent w. j. Prisch a sample of the
grain, and some of it is on exhibition
at the First National Bank. 1t is akin
to the flint variety, with very small
and runty kernels, running from the
size of a small pea to that of a medium
coffee kernel, and in this country it
would hardly be considered worth
picking. If they can raise corn of that
quality and ship to this country at a
profit it must indeed be on very cheap
land and by very cheap labor, but all
the same every bushel brought into
this country displaces an equivalent
amount of homegrown product, and
the money paid for it is sent out of
the country, and therefore cannot help
industry and commerce.-Dell Rapids
Times-Tribune.

CIRCUIT COURT

Judge Sherwood adjourned the jan
uary term of circuit court on Friday
evening, but stated that he would re-
turn shortly, probably next week, to
complete the remainder of the calen-
dar. The segregation case from White
was decided in favor of the farmers
who petitioned to be set out from the
town limits. This case was similar in
many respects to the Brookings segre-
cation question, which was so annie.
ably settled a short time ago. The
three cases of the Bank of Aurora vs..
Clifford Stanley and John Nissen were
decided in favor Of the plaintiff. The
case of Culhane & Kinney VS.. Geo.
Etting and U. r. Mills was decided in
favor of the defendants. In the case
of Edward Kelly VS.. A. B. Rad the
plaintiff was given a judgment of $131.
The Haggart-Alton sewer case, which
has been in court for several years,
was decided in favor of Haggart, the
tractor. There are several other
cases that are practically the same as
this case, and this decision Is expected
to decide them, unless of course, the
matter is taken to the higher court.
The case Of Bessie Hanson, ct al, VS..
Arthur Stone, ct al, was decided by
stipulation in favor Of the plaintiff. A
divorce was granted Nellie Lokke
from Olaf A. Lokke. The following
cases were settled out of court:

MRS. DOUGLASS PASSES AWAY

Mrs. C. d. Douglass passed away
last Thursday at Delray, Florida,
where she and Mr.. Douglass had gone
to spend the winter. The remains ar
rived here Monday morning, and the
funeral was held from the Baptist
church on Tuesday afternoon. con-
Quoted by DR.. Horace w. Tilden, the
pastor.
Mrs. Douglass, whose maiden name
was Augusta Rowley, was born at
M%iddletown, Conn, March 9, 1886, and
was therefore nearly 68 years old at
the time of her death. From Con-
necticut she came with her parents to
High Forest, Mimi, where on March
9, 1864, she was united in marriage
with C. d. Douglass. They lived in
Minnesota until thirteen years ago,
when they came to Brookings where
they had since made their home.
Mrs. Douglass had been in poor
health for a number Of years and it
was in the hope of lettering it that
she and Mr.. Douglass went to Florida
last December. She gained quite
rapidly after reaching there, but con.
tracted a cold that brought on a sud-
den illness which was fatal.
If Mrs. Douglass had lived until the
9th of next month she and Mr.. Doug.
lass would have celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary, an event that
she was looking forward to with much
pleasure.
Mrs. Douglass had been a member
of the Baptist church for forty-six
years and a member of the church in
Bookings for thirteen years. She
leaves to mourn her death her hus-
band and n daughter, Mrs. James
Revell and eight grandchildren.

~INcENDIARY AT WORK?

The residents of north Brookings
near the Lutheran church seem to be
under the impression that the fire,
which started in the alley between the
L. L.. Erb and H. c. Johnson barns on
Wednesday night of last week, was of
incendary origin. They do not believe
the theory that 1t was caused by a
careless smoker, as no one makes use
of the alley for travel, especially on a
blizazrdy night like that was, and they
say that nc hot ashes which would
start it were thrown out. A couple of
years ago a number of barns in that
vicinity were set on fire. and they be-
lieve that 1t is the same party operat-
ing again.

TO PLAY "THE HONEYMOON"

The Athenian society of the State
College will present the play, THE
Honeymoon" which was written by
Arnold Bennett, at the college auditor
ium next Saturday evening, February
7th. Arnold Bennett was introduced
to Bookings three years ago in What
the Public Wants" His name appear
ed attached to several books in 1910,
but when, that winter, the Athenians
learned the lines of his play from the
pages of a magazine, he was unknown,
at least in America. The next year,
"An Old Wives Tale" gave him an
enviable fame. Today he is one of the
half dozen English writer's that every
body knows. In the book index there
are about thirty volumes to his credit
1.-THE Honeymoon" is as different as
a play can be from What the Public
Wants." The earlier play was on the
whole a serious though satiric, hand
ling of a serious subject, namely the
function of the newspaper in relation
to morals and taste. 1.-The Honey
moon" is light comedy. almost farce.
1t is breezily modern. the hero being
an aviator of international fame. The
plot situation is decidedly unusual, too
strange for anything but real life, as
the author apologies. Though tend
ing to ~farcial, every person in the
play is q character and all delightfully."-
different.
The play in It's substance being so
different from What the Public
Wants." 1t will be pleasant however
for those who heard that play to see
the same brightness Of wit, the same
skill in phrasing, the same %bubbling
revolt from the conventional in this
lighter work. 1t was written to be
laughed at, but to be laughed at with
an undertone Of enjoyment that is
greater the second time. This those
who are in training in the play can
vouch for. In the cast are several
new to this colleges stage, some who
have won favor in other years.

A large proportion OF the losses, es-
pecially among the young poultry,
could easily be prevented by the use of
common sense and little forethought
A few years ago we lost lot of high
priced eggs because we placed the
thermometer too near the water pipes
in the incubator. Instead of setting 1t
on level with the eggs it was fast
be overturned. We thought 1t very
clever idea at the time, but found out
too late that we had made mistake
Being so near the pipes, the heat
caused the thermometer to register
several degrees too high. That is, 1t
temperature down where the eggs
we're. Only one chick Matched, and 1t
died. The eggs were broken and ex-
amined We found that they contained
chicks In nearly all stages Of develop
ment. This taught US lesson that
has never been forgotten, and that
was not our last by~any means. In
the poultry business 1t Is just one les
son after another; and still we don't
pretend Ito know it all" One never
gets too old to learn, but we never
make the same mistake twice, but try
to learn something through every mis-
take made, and that Is some consola-
ton when things go wrong. Whatever
the trouble Is, we try to find the cause
and remove 1t.
A neighbor OF ours lost nearly hun
dred young chicks last year because
of ignorance or carelessness-pr probably
q little OF both. The chicks were not
properly cared for and they became
very lousy. They had been Matched

In spite of the fact that there was no

plenty Of shade, not bit of either was

They would probably all have died
sooner or later, anyway, but as stated
above they got very lousy and the
owner made short job of 1t by apply
ing lard This did the work-it killed
all the chicks inside of an hour or two,
and 1t is not at all likely that any lice
escaped.
Now it was not the lard alone that
did all this mischief, although 1t had
been applied too freely. This hap
pened to be when the thermometer

For ten years he and his associates
