Good duck shooting here those cold
days.
VIII Egeberg is moving down to his
brother Elmer's to help him batch.
Every corn picker is busy these days
and the last cob will soon be in.
Half a mile of fine road was made
right across the river. A regular speed
way for joy riders.
Everyone here is waiting for the
state engineer to come and locate the
big ditch.
There will be a Thanksgiving pro-

Mrs. Il. Knutson and her daughter
Bertha were down to Heron Lake last
week where Mrs. Knutson went to con-
suit DR.. Moe for her health.
j. p. Cheever has commenced to
build a new barn on his farm. Some
think j. p. is figuring on moving down
here and commence to milk cows.
Nick May and family visited last
Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. Kane. Nick
has a joy wagon now and he goes
some.
The last job of threshing in this
township is to be done this week. 1t is
on the G.. Rude farm.
Your reporter drove through Volga
township the other day and called on
the Reeves family. Saw your reporter
there and also called on Martin Stun
ley. Martin works hard, makes piles
of money and don't care to be state
senator either. In fact he is now figur-
ing on dropping politics and taking up
religion in place. Never heard a demo
crat do that before. He has a fine herd
of Hereford cattle, about sixty head
and his whole farm seemed to swarm
with Poland China hogs and they were
beauties. I don't know as I blame
him If he don't care to go to Pierre.
John Wells, known to fame as
"Happ" had an exciting time Saturday
night in Brookings. He and Carl
Frandsen got their best girls loaded
into a buggy and were going to take
them home. But they made a mis-.
take in the position they took, they
helped the girls in first and the boys
sat in the lap. Well Happ did the driv.
ing but on account of the position they
sat in Happ's thinking apparatus work.

can get some speed when he tries and
this was a time he tried, he struck the
grade south of the Farmers Elevator,
he struck 1t good and hard and over
went the buggy. Well that load was
spilled and scattered. Some landed
over In the 4th ward. Carl Is now
try ng to reduce one Of his thumbs
that looks like a turnip. Happ
hurt one Of his legs but the girls es-
capped. They did not find the team
and the remains of the buggy until the
next day, after hunting all night.
"Happ" says after this he walks or
else stays home.

ADVERTISING DOES 1T
Continued from Page One)

Brookings entertained an enormous
crowd of visitors, many of whom came
by auto more than one hundred miles.
The Hobo Day" celebration and the
football game were even more than
claimed in the advertising, which by
the way, is the secret of good adver-
Using, Ito deliver as much or more
than is prorhised.)
Motion pictures we're taken of the
Hobo Day stunts, of the football game,
and of numerous features connected
with the college-including the col
lege equipment, livestock, faculty and
students. There is probably more
action in this film than any ever be-
fore taken in the state; and plenty
of humor, too. Already a number of
the leading motion picture houses in
the state have asked the Commercial
Club of Brookings for the privilege of
running this film. These requests will
be granted in order of application.
Later on the reel will be sem to the
theatres of North Dakota, so that the
people of that state may get motion
views of the Flickertail football team
in action.

THE TRUE THANKSGIVING.
BY Rev. DR.. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF OF
Philad. lphIa.

II is we'll that our fathers in
stituted the day of Thanksgiv-
. ing on which to be made con-
scious of the countless blessings
that surrounded them and of
their many obligations to rem
der praise and thanksgiving to
!. the author Of them all. In re-
turn for Gods mercy we should
think of those in our midst not
:. so blessed as we and give them
also opportunity for being
thankful and for rejoicing. The
!. truly grateful feels that God
does not lavish his blessings
upon the earth so that a few
. may enjoy a great abundance
while others live in want. 1t is
!. wrong for to enjoy the feast
and for another to endure the
fast.
The truest Joy is that which
I. springs from bringing Joy to
others. The truest gratitude is
!. in that act which gives to others
the opportunity for being CRATE
full. The truest wealth is that
:. which kindness stores up in the
heart of the sorrowine and suf-
: fering. Our noblest acquisitions
I. live only in our charity.

OiG-Time Waues,

The history Of Rumford gives the
following account of how farm work
was paid among the early settlers OF
Rumford: Young men who went out
to work received So per month. for the
six busiest months Of the year, which
was considered good wages, though
an extra hand sometimes earned SO.
Every sick day and every holiday was
deducted. It was also specified that
no cash should be paid, but settlement
to be made in products Of the farm.
Girls received for services SO to Is
cents a week. If the work was spin
ming wool, the days work was five
ske;ns of warp or six skeins OF filling.
Calico was Is cents yard.-Lewsston

About Sound Waves.

One Of those scientists Tho are al
ways developing apparent paradoxes
in thought has come forward with the
statement that sound itself Is not eS-
traneous, but exists only because OF
nerve. In other words, If the ears OF
the human race were removed tomor-
row the world would be absolutely
noiseless to humanity. The contention
is that the sound waves, travelling at
a rate Of 1890 feet second, create
invisible ripples in the air just as a
pool ripples when q rock is thrown
into it. The greater the force Of these
waves the louder the sound. But there
is no noise until these sound waves
strike the sensitive nerves Of the ear.
Thus, rererting TO the original PROPOSE
ton, the air waves themselves would
be noiseless did they not operate IN
conjunction with the human seuse OF
hearing.

nMadanfeN Fitted Him.

The friends Of a certain senator say
that, although It is admitted that some
one used senate stationery to promote
a mining scheme, It is very unjust to
make any charge Of dishonesty against
the kindly old man. To illustrate his
character, they tell this story: he
was one of the funeral party that &C.
companied the body Of a distinguished
senator to its burial place. On the
return trip he went early to bed. The
next morning his round, red face, de-
void Of hair, gentle Of expression and
wrinkled, was thrust out Of his berth
as the Pullman conductor passed by.
Are we on time, captain?' called out
the senator in his thin piping voice,
Just on time, madame said the con.
ductor, as he lifted his hat and passed
on.

Jewish FLAGS.

The Zionists have adopted a flag
made up Of a white gound with a
blue horizontal stripe on each side,
and the shield Of David in the center.
In reference to the direction from the
Book Of Numbers, Every man Of the
Children Of Israel shall pitch by his
own standard, with the ensign Of their
fathers house." the Midrash explains
that the emblems and colors CORE
sponded to the IL precious stones set
in the breast plate Of the high priest
The colors for the different tribes were
as follows: Reuben, red; Simeon,
green; Levi, tr!-co1or, white, black and
red; Judah, sky blue; Issachar, black;
Zebulon, white: Dan, blue; Cad. gray;
Naphtali, wine color; Asher, pearl
color; Ephraim and Manasseh. Jet
black: BENJAMIN, all the above colors
combined.

STAGE Bells.

"Parsifal" is interesting, quite apart
from its artistic merit, as having had
a musical instrument invented for it,
and named after it. The reproduc-
ton of the sound Of church bells in
opera was long a difficulty. Real
bells simply drowned the orchestra,
and all substitutes were tried in vain
until Doctor Mott designed the Parsifal
bell instrument, somewhat en- the prin-
cipIe of the grand piano. Each OF
its five notes has six strings, which
are struck by large hammers covered
with cotton wool. And the result Is
as near to the solemn sound OF
church bells as the theater has been
able to get.

LunInescence Of Nitrogen.

It has been found that nitrogen, vig-
orously and spectroscopically pure, ac-
quires a continuous luminescenee,
during the electric discharge, and
therefore this phenomenon can no
longer be attributed to the presence
CT traces Q; oxygen. In the pres
ence Of metallic vapors, such as those
of mercury, sodium or potassium, says
the Scientific American, the phenome-
non is not produced owing to the nj
trogen's being attacked by the metal
lie yapors, forming combination OF
the metal with nitrogen. The pres:
ence Of oxygen, which oxides the met
allie vapors, hinders their action on
the active nitrogen and renders its
formation possible.

A Preachers Partisan Prayer.


It is difficult for the fervent partisan
to avoid politics, even in the pulpit
There ere those, too, who never try.
Among them was Father Taylor, the
Roston sailor.preacher. He was once
conducting a Sunday morning service
a few days before the state elections,
and he took the opportunity Of offer
ing up a fervent prayer that man
might be chosen for governor VINO
would rule in the fear Of God, who
would never be afraid Of the face OF
day, who would defeat the ringlead'
ers of corruption. who would defy his
own party if it yielded to wire pullers'
who Suddenly Father Taylor
paused. Then he brought his prayer
to al abrupt conclusion. 20, Lord
he exclaimed, whats the use OF box
ing the compass in this way? Give US
George N. Briggs for governor
