expects to have it ready for an in
vasion of Germany within the next
few days. With this menace in sight
Germany must dispose of the allies
and turn the greater part of her fight
ing men to stop the Russians.
The most important development of
the week was the ultimatum delivered
to Germany by Japan that the former
must %relinquish possession of its ter
ritory in China and withdraw its ships
and men from the orient by lex Sat
urday. Failure to comply with this
demand will mean war between the
two countries and there is but little
doubt that Germany will refuse. Just
how far Japan will go in it's expected
fight with Germany is not known, but
it is expected hat it's activities will
be confined to the orient. Germany
has numerous possessions there and a
large in that part of the
world.
The action of Japan has caused con-
siderable uneasiness in the United
States. Germany has numerous is
land possessions in the Pacific ocean
and she and the United States own
one or two islands in common, and the
prospect of Japan taking possession
of them is not looked on with favor by
this country. We have little TO fear
from Germany from the Pacific, while
Japan is a constant nj from that
part of the world, so the taking Of
islands in the direction of this coun-
try is viewed with much concern by
America. However, as the Unit
ed States is maintaining a strict neu-
trality it can do nothing.

CITY BOOSTERS
HOLD MEETING
REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING OF
COMMERCIAL CLUB HELD ON
FRIDAY EVENING
RECEPTION FOR PRESIDENT PERISHO
To be Given by the Club When He Ar
rives Here-Club Will Discuss An
nual Colt Show Next Meeting

The Commercial Club held its month
ly meeting at the assembly room last
Friday evening, with about forty mem
bers present. The meeting was called
to order by President Hyde about nine
o'clock, and in the absence of Secre-
tary Gullick r. F. Kerr was named
secretary pro tenn.
The secretary read several commune
cations Of interest. One was from a
carpenter who was looking for work
and Prof. Champlin who was present
said that he needed such a man at one
of the ~sub-stations. An inquiry came
from Watertown asking about the
sales days that B~rookings used to hold.
These were where the merchants put
on special sales on Saturdays and the
city provided an auctioneer who sold
whatever stuff the farmers brought in.
1t was a good thing for both the city
and country and it seems as though it
should have been continued here.
WATERFOWL expects to take up the
idea this fall.
A letter came from a man at Boul.
der, Colo, asking the club to find him
a home as he wants to move here and
educate his children.
A letter came from the state com
mission in charge of the South Da-
kota exhibit at the Panama EXPOSE
ton, asking for a donation. The com
mission asked for a dollar from each
member, which would amount to about
$3.50 from the club, and a good many
members thought that this was a little
too strong. The matter was referred
to the committee on finance.
A request from the North
western Good Roads Congress was
read asking the club to send a dele.
gate to the annual meeting in October,
but no action was taken.
A motion was made and carried

will be air ship flights. Mr.. II. j. Web

new model 80 horse power Curtiss BIZ
plane during the afternoon of the days
mentioned. This machine is of almost
identically the same model as the
great biplane used by the French early
in the present var to wreck the great
German airship and end so many lives.
This is the only chance this year in
this part of the northwest to see one
Of these birds of the air.
At the county fair this year all the
old settlers of the county are invited
to register at the special booth that
will be provided. They will be divided
into three classes, first, those here be-
fore 1881: second, those coming be-
tween 1881 and 1885 and third, those
coming between 1885 and 1889. Badges
will be provided for each class and a
souvenir will be presented to the coun.

CUT THIS OUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
QUEEN OF THE FAIR

The county fair will have a Queen
this year and in order to ascertain who
is the most popular young lady in the
county a voting contest will decide.
office and cast your votes for the lady
whom you desire to have the honor.
Votes will be received at each news
paper office in the county up to the
evening Of August 31st and then the
voting will be continued at the county
fair each day until Thursday evening,
when the votes will be finally counted
and the award made. The successful
lady will be crowned Friday afternoon
on the fair grounds and presented with
a diamond ring. To the second and
third contestant will be presented a
gold watch and a fine camera, and they
will be invited to take part in orona
ton ceremony, The Register will re-
ceive votes each day and will announce
the standing of the contestants all

A committee of ladies and gentlemen
from the entire county will be named

ton at the fair.

months, was laid over until the next
meeting.
A reception for President-elect
Perisho of the State College was dis
cussed and was referred to the enter
tainment committee to work out the
details. 1t will be held soon after Mr..
Perisho comes here to take charge,
which will be some time within the
next two or three weeks.
The annual colt show for this fall
was brought up and was on motion laid
over until the next meeting. The first
colt show last fall was SO very much
of a success that the club will put on
one again this year.
The suggestion was made that the
club have a reception for the boys of
the members. The next suggestion we
presume will be that the club enter
tain the old ladies and the young
ladies and the babies.
The question of bringing the farmers
near Brookings into the club as men,
bers was discussed and was referred
to the board of directors. The plan
talked of is to have a zone system,
those living farther out paying less
than those close in and all of them
paying less than the city members.
The idea of bringing the farmers into
the club is a splendid n and in many
places a good share of the members
of booster clubs are from the coun-
try. The club is interested in and aids
the development of the entire county,
and as the farmers near Bookings
are an unusually enterprising bunch
there is no doubt but that many of
them would join the organization. The
social advantages are also quite a
factor and it is hoped before many
weeks that a large number of farmers
will have enrolled.
The question of encouraging the
forming of potato clubs, horse clubs
and other agricultural organizations
among the young men and boys of the
county was discussed, and the club will
likely do something in the matter
later on.
1t was stated that there are about 81
900 acres planted to potatoes in the
vicinity of Brookings this year, and
the question of having farmers get the
best possible price for their product
was discussed. Frank Sherwin and
one or two others thought that if the
farmers would carefully sort and grade
the potatoes they would get a much
better price. A suggestion was made
that next year the club impress upon
the farmers the desirability of growing
one variety from the best possible
seed.
There being no further business the
members adjourned for lunch.

LUCE LINZ

While at Minneapolis last week we
enjoyed a ride on the Luce Line, going
u to Stubs Bay, on Lake Mime
tonka. This is about twenty miles
from Minneapolis and is as far as
trains are now running. The road
seems to be substantially built and the
equipment is very good. The country
through this section is rough, some
what similar to that along the North
western going into st. Paul, and we
do not wonder that the road has made
slow progress. Some of the grades are
thirty feet high and in other places the
road had to be cut through steep hills,
try through which the road now passes
is a dairy and berry-raising section,
which should furnish a profitable
freight business. There are numerous
lakes along the line, and many new
homes are being built there by city
people, which should help the passen-
ger traffic. Business was good the day
W. went out, as the car was crowded
and several people had to stand and
the condition was the same coming
back. We were informed that steel is
laid for some distance beyond Stubs
Bay and trains will be running farther
out within a short time. The road
now has several hundred men and
teams at work and will rush construc-
ton work the rest of the year.

THE WAR

There has been little real news from
the great armies during the past week,
as the rigid censorship maintained by
all of the countries involved has pre-
vented any intelligence of Importance
leaking u 1t seems certain however,
that the great opposing armies are
sparring for position, preparatory to
fighting a battle within the next week.
This battle when il does come will un-
dOubtedly be the great single conflict
that has ever been fought. With over
a million men on each side engaged
and equipped with modern methods of
destruction the struggle will without
question be a desperate and bloody
one. From what little news
that has leaked out it is
surmised hat the Germans are
trying to force a passage through
the ranks of the allies south of Liege
with the evident purpose of dividing
the enemy's forces. Whether this
movement is successful remains to be
seen. The Germans have had posses
SION of the city of Liege for several
days, and probably also have posses
sion of the forts by this time. The
allies deny, however, the rumors that
the Germans have taken Brussels, the
belgian capital.
