Broohings.-The newspaper men OF
Brookings have organized q press club
for the mutual exchange of news items
and the general encouragement OF
town and cCuntry publicity. Not the
least Of the objects of the CLUB are
its social features ald the cultivation
OF friendly co-of Grafton. The first
OF its social functions was the enter
tainment Of the visiting editors and
publishers during the college gala day.
To show what the domestic science
department of the city schools was
accomplishing the club engaged the
students Of that department to serve
three-course luncheon for the men,
bers and visiting newspaper men.
Twenty-siX plates were laid and after
lunch was served to that number OF
people and some informal talks were
made, 1t was announced that the act
ual cost of the provisions and prcpa-
ration amounted to $500 or 20 cents
per person. Credit is due Miss Palon,
who presides over that department.
The state college gala day, known as
Hobo day" was great success this
year. The young men and some Of
the members of the faculty dressed in
fantastic hobo garb and the young
women in Indian garb parade through
the city from the college to the depot
to welcome the visitors, then disband-
ed and canVassed the town for hand
outs, which were generously supplied
by the housewives. At noon there was
Jungle dinner in the college grove
and all was ready for the football
match with the University Of North
Dakota team on state field. Some 900
Of the college people participated in
the parade and rooted for the local
team. The visitors lost the game by a
score Of IA TO 3. Some $500 people
Witnessed the game Moving pictures
were taken Of the parade and game,
and the films are already in demand
for exhibition in the state Over / 200
feet of pictures were taken and the
movie man pronounced it very
unique spectacle.

Our Early Chinese Trade.

The rapid growth of our early trade
the 81 vessels carrying in 1905 nearly
five and three-quarters millions worth
Of goods to Canton, represented ia
larger fraction of our total foreign
commerce than our trade with tAe
whole of China does today. The SILVER
imported to balance American trade
with China averaged more than two
and half millions annually in. the 20
years down to 1927, and reached Ia
maximum Of seven and a half m5l-

With a ringing cheer the enemy ad-

responded, bat without checking the
steady advance of the enemy.
One piece remained undischarged.

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
bone treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar of
resinol ointment and cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
Oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin Is softened Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer Of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice 4 day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-A6v.

Somebody Mixed Thjncs.

Dallas.-Either in the way OF de.
lberate hoax, or through an official
blunder of some kind four measures
which were submitted and adopted at
the 1912 election were enormously
submitted to the voters OF Gregory
county as part OF the referred meas
ures in the 1914 election. 1t is sup.
posed that the error or deliberate
substitution occurred in this county
IN some manner. One of the special
ballots sent out to the various polling
places in this county contained the
Richards primary law. the headlight
law, the herd law and the county seat
law, all Of these being 1912 proposals,
and none OF them legally up for con-
sideration in 1914. A large percentage
of the voters registered either in ia.
vor OF CT in opposition to these "pho.
ney' measures. In view of the fact
that the Richards law pulled out a
large majority here two years ago Il
is rather interesting that il failed to
pass this time by vote Nf 735 to 937.
The headlight law, now in operation.
was the only one Of the four old meas
ures that found favor. 1t passed by
a vote Of 119 to $40. This bogus bal.
Tot in Gregory county took the place
OF the special ballot submitting the
question Of calling constitutional
convention. It has been impossible TO
learn here whether other counties had
a similar experience, or whether the
ballot error was merely local con.
dltion. In any event, the incident
probably stands out as one of tbs
greatest jokes ever occurring in a
South Dakota campaign. Voters knew
that new primary law was being
submitted at the recent election (the
Coffey petition law and for that rea
son did not recognize the Richards
measure as an intrusion on the bal.
lot.

Municipal Ownership Profitable.

Brookings.-At the last meeting OF
the Brookings Commercial club G.. o.
Trygstad, the city attorney, gave
talk on city affairs, the municipal
plants and taxes. The city owns and
operates more municipal utilities than
any other city or town in the state.
The receipts for the year from the
electric light plant amounted to SIS.
955. and from he heating plant s5,711,
total of S2l,666. The expenses OF
the two. which are operated together.
were S15.600, showing a profit of &C..
o66. The telephone plant showed
profit of $500 and the waterworks
an excess of about $1,000 expenses
over the receipts. The apparent loss
on the latter is partially compensated
by the use Of water in fire protection
and street sprinkling. AS soon as the
majority of the dwelling houses are
mOdernized the Waterworks will show
a net profit to the city. There is no
bonded Indebtedness on the electric
light and telephone plants, for these
have paid for themselves in the last
lew years. The city owns approxi-
mately $177,00O worth of municipal
enterprises, with an outstanding bond.
ed indebtedness OF s53,50O on the four
properties. The telephone rates are
81 and $3.50 respectively, and light
lO and cents per 1000. The profit,
are being applied on the bonded in.

the city will own its paints in a few

WORKED FOR COVETED CAR
Boys Had Sense Enough to See Fa-
theirs Position, and the Result
Was Good.

A farmer was considerably in debt;
his interest charge was about all 1t
was safe to be. The boys were good,
Woodworking, thoughtless, f%un'loving
boys-just the natural sort. They
prayerfully besought their father to
buy a motor car. This he did not
think he could afford. The boys re-
scented his seeming stinginess. Then
the mar had al inspiration, relates
the Breeders Gazette.
The Oldest boy was set to keeping
an account Of the farm operations
expense and income. They credited
the place with all that they ought:
they charged to real estate bitches
and limestone spread; they inven-
toried at the beginning Of the year.
Then with the balance sheet before
them they made an intelligent analy.
sis of their position.
They had not yet reached the point
whero they could afford the car-the
boys themselves decided that-but
they we're coming out from under the
debt. They had proof that this ven
ture was profitable and that they saw
where wise expenditure for fertilization
or for shelter would add to gains.

work, more interested than ever, since
now the farming was a game at which
they could ~skillfully play and hope

Then this same farmer told his boys
they should have the car as soon as

they hoped to be ready for it in two

Fire Destroys Barn.

Fire destroyed the big barn of Walter Hurley at Diaz Monday morning between four and five o'clock, everything being a total loss. How the fire originated is a mystery, but points strongly to have been set on fire. Two horses that were tied in their stalls had been cut loose and turned out when the fire was dis covered.
 The loss to MT. Hurley is a heavy one as he had a big lot of hay and corn amounting to more than thousand dollars stored away for his use this year. Besides all his feed, wag- ons, buggy and all farming tools were destroyed. An insurance of about one thousand dollars is thought to have been carried on the barn and contents.

William A. Quinn Dead.


 William Albert Quinn, aged 46 years, died at his home in Little Rock Satudray night at 8:4o from a short illness. The body was brought here Sunday night at 8:45 and carried to the home of his mother, Mrs. Eliza Quinn in East Newport, where the funeral was held Monday af- ternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. MT. Hoffmann of the Chris tian church.
 Mir. Guinr had been weigher for the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company at Little Rock for ten years and was a splendid man whose friends of his former home regret to learn of his death.
 Mir. Quinn was married less than a year ago, and the grief stricken wife with his mother and other relatives, have the sympathy of our people.
