G. F. Thayer brought us down this
week a copy of the Western Reserve
Chronicle Of Warren, Ohio. The paper
has been published continuously since
1912, and from the looks Of this partic-
ular copy it isn't any better than the
Register, even though it is four or five
times as old.
A copy of the Boise, Idaho Capital
News reaches us with a write-up of
"Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" as given
by the Boise Choral Society. The
following mention Is made of Arthur
Binford, a former Brookings boy:
arthur A. Binford, the tenor, receiv-
ed ar ovation. His voice, full volumed
pure in tone and given forth from a
superb ren Of self, was heard
with intense delight. May he be heard
often in Boise"
In u write-up Of the school rally
last week we stated that the prize for
the best banner was won by District
Is, but this was a mistake, as District
8 was the prize-winner. In the list
given to the Register of those who
had a perfect record in the first 100
words of the spelling contest the name
of Jeanette Wick of District 8 was
omitted. Miss Lambe, the teacher,
and the pupils of the district have
every reason to feel proud of the
showing that they made.
Quite a large number of bounty
claims were paid by the county during

five foxes; Carl Exc, one fox; Will
Hubbendahl, four foxes; Arthur Mes
son, two foxes; John Halvorson, eight
foxes; Floyd Soden, two wolves; G. F.
Telkamp, seven wolves. Two dollars
is paid for the scalp of an old wolf
or fox and one dollar for the young
