Mrs. M. E. Wimsey returned home
the last of the week from the Pacific
coast. She spent most Of the winter
in California but says she is glad to
get back to Brookings. She met many
former Brookings people while absent
and reports them all well and enjoy
ing themselves.
d. C. Bulen, who recently returned
with Mrs. Bulen from their winters
s~ojourn at Long Beach, California,
was up from Aurora Saturday. Mr..
Bulen tells us that times are hard on
the coast and employment scarce.
Nearly every n who returns from
that country tells the same story.

Miss Fern Waffle, pianist, appeared
in her graduation recital Thursday
evening before an unusually large au-
dience. Her performance displayed
remarkable powers of technic and in
depreciation. Particularly artistic
were her renditions of the Mac Dowell
Praeludium and Sibelius Romance and
the Mohr Concerto was presented with
rare %brilliance. She was assisted by
Homer Hamilton, violinist, whose
work was distinguished in it's bril-
lance and tonal beauty. The De
Beriot Concerto especially was ex-
tremely creditable.
The Northwestern officials on this
division have fitted up three Ford cars
with Hanged wheels SO as to travel on
the rails. Supt. Dickinson and other
officials are now travelling part of the
time in this manner, the cars being
provided with tops, lights and tele-
phone instruments that can be quickly
attached at any station for communi-
cation with the dispatcher. One ad-
vantage in this form of automobile rid
ing is that muddy roads and blowouts
are not a part of the game and no at
tention has to be paid to the speed
limit.-Iroquois Chief.
The Brookings college has issued a
special bulletin regarding the joint
teachers institute to be held at the col
lege and the six weeks summer school
offered at the same place. The sum.
mer school is free to all teachers at
tending the institute. There is a long
weeks of the joint institute and for the
summer school there will be the whole
faculty of the college. Supt. Coulson
informs the Independent that quite a
number Of teachers have already signi.
fed their intention Of taking the six
weeks course, and he expects many
others to decide in favor Cf it. The
young teacher who has not had normal
training cannot afford to miss this OPP
p~ortunity for special training if at all
interested in their work. If not inter
ested in their work they should quit
teaching.-De Smet Independent.
An appreciation of the local news.
paper and of what it's editor does for
the community is well expressed in an
article we have noticed in some of the
exchanges credited to Ex-Governor
Francis of Missouri. 1t follows: Each
year the local paper gives from $500 to
81, 900 in free lines to the community
in which it is located. No other agency
car or will do this. The editor in pro.
portion to his means, does more for
his town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness he ought to be support.
ed, not because you like him or ad-
mire his writings, but just simply be
cause the local paper is the best invest
ment a community can make. 1t may
not be brilliantly edited or crowded
with thought but financially it is of
more benefit to the community than
the preacher or teacher. Understand
me, l do not mean mentally and yet on
moral questions you will find most of
the papers on the right side. Today
the editors of the local papers do the
most for the least money of any peo-
pie on earth"
