Society Social

The Delta-Bata Literary Society,
chaperoned by their faculty advisors,
Miss Belt and Miss Haase had a So
cial at the school building Saturday
evening. The members Of the society
enjoyed the eevning in playing some
of our childhood" games, refresh
ments were served and a general good
time was had.
The literary societies are too often
given over to routine work and we are
forced to work with people whom we
know only by name. A social such as
the Delta Batas had Is a good plan be
cause the social side Of our training
may be developed.

Annual Football Reception

Friday. evening the annual high
school football reception took place
at the high school building which was,
perhaps, the best and most enjoyed
of any former reception ever held. Al
most the entire student body includ-
ing a member of the former students
of the old b. Fl. s. we're present and
all seemed to have a good time. One
of the attractive features was the
p%unch-bowl from which was dispens-
ed a very delightful nectar to the peo-
pie as they passed up the stairs to the
main assembly room. The assembly
room and halls was beautifully decor.
ated with the high school co!ors and
ferns and palms, p~ennants OF various
schools were ~extravagantly used for
wall decorations. Frances Carlisle

The Crows -Nest

When this column was started not
all of the readers noticed the explana-
ton of the meaning of the term
crows nest" The next time you see
a picture Of a ship observe the cage
like structure on one of the masts in
which a lookout is stationed for the
purpose of keeping watch day and
night. He is supposed to see and hear
everything hat is going on about him.
II a person is high enough in the air
be can see farther into the depths
than when near the surface OF the
water. This fact is being made use of
in the present European war. An
aviator, from an elevation of a few
hundred feet, can discover and detect
the movements of a submarine and
thereby warn larger ships of its dan
cerous proximity. From a moderate
elevation one can see many things of
,ilal interest worthy of notice and
comment.
The discussion of the abuse Of rid
ing bicycles on the sidewalks has had
a beneficial effect in that some have
taken heed and are using the streets
instead. 1t shows that all persons are
not intentional violators of the law.
Now, if automobile drivers would pay
more attention to some of the city or
dinances in the matter of observing
speed limits and the making of I'M
necessary noises with their cut-outs
we would be making c~ommendable
progress. To leave the engine run
ming while the machine is standing on
the street is not allowed in any pro-
gressive city and why should it be
permitted in Bookings? The speed
ing Of cars on the residence streets is
partly the eason why our bicyclists
are tempted to take to the sidewalks.
They are in danger of being u down
by a racing motorcycle or a speeding
auto. AS an encourager of profanity
nothing beats reckless driving or rid
ing on our city streets.
Brookings is still able to win cham.
pionships even if it does meet with
disappointments occasionally . Last
week two silver cups were lifted at
Mitchell. Thos. Bang, proprietor of
the Brookings creamery, was awarded
first prize in buttermaking. his exhibit
scoring 94h points. It is a satisfac-
ton to know that, among other things,
we are eating some Of the best butter
in the state. One of the Holstein
cows at the college made a record Of
twenty-five pounds of butter in seven
days and Prof. Larsen is pleased with
the superior quality of his dairy herd.
College Belle Wayne will have to be
looking out for her laurels.
Now that we have had our first real
snowfall our good roads enthusiasts

THE TIME TO BUY
CHEAPlY

There are some people who COM
plain bitterly about the high cost Of
living, while they pay too little at
tention to the opportunities for re.
duclng expenses announced in any of
our issues in the retail advertising.
The great majority of the public is
BY this time thoroughly educated up
TO the idea of watching the store
news in the papers, and buying from
the bargains there reported. But
while nearly every one reads this
advertising, yet some people are
too procrastinating to plan their pur-
chases in advance. They persist in
buying at the top OF the market.
People who feel motives of thrift,
however, must realize that February
is a fine time to buy goods. There
are few merchants who do not cut
prices to reduce stocks. People who
consistently plan TO take advantage
of these reductions can carry the
burden of household expenses much
more easily. "
See our advertising columns as a
directory of low prices, at the bottom
level Of the whole year!

He thought twas gone forever then
And he'd see It no more.
But long before the year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbours order, and received
That same one dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and friends
The most amount of good.
Four times in two years it came back
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he would go out and
spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in town today.
But just two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received 1t then
know have got 1t still,
For twas to mail order house
He sent his dollar bill.
No more will that marked dollar
Come into the farmers hands, :
And nevermore will It help to pay
The taxes on his lands.
He put it where it never can
Its work in life fulfill;
