London, Aug, S0.--While the reports
from the eastern war theater entbiac-
ing the regions from CORTLAND to
southeastern Gallcia, indicate that the
Germans and the Austrians are still
pressing the Russians hard in com
pact or tenaciously following them In
retreat, military observers here are
hoping the sun season will limit
the further movement of the Teu-
tons and force them to be content
with the fruit of their past successes
as the inter season falls upon them.
Big Rush Stopped.
Both Berlin and Vienna lay empha-
sises on the statement that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenberg's forces along
the DviLa river in Courland have re-
newed their activities, which were
brought to a sudden halt recently with
the success of the Russians in holding
Riga as menace to Won Hindenberg's
rear In southwestern Aussia, in the
Brest-Litovsk region, the Austrian and
Germans are chiefly concerned in
driving Grand Duke Nilholas' armies
further into The PriDet marshes.
Rainy Season Near.
The military observers are directing
attention to the fact that the Russians
fall storms are due to begin about
September 21st. They assert that
they are the danger lint to military
operations in the eastern field. 1t Is
recalled by some Of these observers
that the autumnal equinox marks the
turning point in the Naloleon CAM
paigh.
Desperate fighting continues in the
Dardanelles in the vicinity Of the spot
where the British recently made their
landing. Turkish reports claim the
capture by the Ottoman forces of al
lied trenches with heavy allied casu-
alties These cleaims, however, have
not vt been conceded by Great Britain.
The military operations in the west
ern field have been confined to French
fighting. On the Austro.ltalian from
tier the Italians claim that their fore
es are slowly advancing northWard.
London, AAug. 3O.-The effort Of the
government to avert a spread OF the
South Wales coal strike lead to pro-
tracted meeting at the Board Of Trade
Chambers today between Walter Kun
ciman, president of the Board or
Trade; David-Lloyd George, minister
of munitions, and representative OF
the miners and the coal owners.
At the conclusion of the conferences,
no official announcement Of their re-
suit was made. According to one re-
port the strike was settled, but an
other report said hitch had arisen
in the negotiations which will render
necessary another meeting with Mr..
Runcian on Tuesday morning.
$4,000 miners are now on strike III

1T ALL DEPENDS

The Chicago Tribune the
reintroduction of the hoopskirt for wo-
mans wear. We of the older genera.
ton can remember the sorry figures
cut by our mothers and our sisters and
our aunts thirty to forty years ago
when the hoopskirt was worn by all
women. We may smile at the ridicul-
she of the figure cut by the wo-
men of that day, but the facts are that
those good women and their husbands
and brothers would have regarded an
appearance In the women's dress of
today as positively indecent. Today
the women who wear the narrow skirt
and other accentuated costumes would
regard an appearance in a hoopskirt
as positively outrageous. So goes the
world.-Charles City, Iowa, Intelli-
gencer.

INTERESTING AND MECHANICAL

S. Sylvester Baird, yice-president
and general manager of the Publish
ers' Protective Association of America
located at Chicago, in a business letter
to the Register last week, says: I'VE
want to further say hat you are pub
fishing one of the most interesting
and mechanically perfect papers that
we receive. You certainly deserve
the maximum support of the mer-
chants in your community"
Coming, as it does, from one who IS
considered one Of the best authorities
in the United States we cannot help
but feel that the Register is abreast Of
the times in newspaperdom.
In this connection we wish to say
that it would be impossible for Us to
produce the same results without the
competent force with which the Regis
ter is surrounded. We have a force
that is hard to beat. John L. Murphy,
our very capable local, Bob" Phelps,
our efficient foreman who is always
on the job. and George Martin, the
linotype man, are our right bowers. In
fact all the force from foreman down
to the apprentice are all interested in
the success of the paper and ii gives
us pleasure to give them due credit in
its production.
The Register has also a very com
netent and interesting corps of con
tributors and correspondents who

THAT AKIN BUSiN ESS

1t pleases the Register today to print
some kind words for Teddy Akin from
an exchange. Ted is a good fellow and
a great booster for the city and col
lege. but his enthusiasm foolishly led
him to register as a lobbyist for the
State College. This unprecedented ac-
ton led to some criticism of the col
lege, but the authorities Of the institu-
ton met the situation promptly by
sending out an explanatory letter to
each member Of the legislature and to
the newspaper lei Of the state. which
headed OF further criticism. The
Register. not knowing that the college
people had taken this action. had some
unkind words to say Of Mr.. Akin in
our last issue. We did this solely
from q sense of duty. az Ted and the
Register are the best of friends. but we

that a certain percentage of these men
would invent or produce something
that would be a benefit and lasting
monument to real constructive and
more pleasant and profitable dairy
farming.
The time of the year for the dairy
work can be regulated; not so with
other crops. The time of ~freshening
is within reasonable control of the
owner. For the average dairy farmer,
the fall-freshening COW is the most
profitable. The winter affords the
most favorable condition for the farm
er to get the best and most work out
of the dairy COW; the labor is cheaper
and more plentiful; the price of dairy
products are about a third higher: the
COW gives more milk during the year;
and the fall calves are easier to raise.
In addition, the dairy COW affords
opportunities for the various members
of the family to partake in the work
on the farm. The work in the barn
and the dairy is not heavy work. It is
work which requires attention and in
telligence, two important ~characteris-
tics which we wish to stamp upon
every young persons life. SO the
work of the dairy cow is not only to
use labor in a profitable manner, but
to aid and develop industrious, atten-
tive young people of regular habits

HOSPITAL HAPPENINGS

Plans for the first graduating exer.
cises of the training school for nurses
are being made for February first.
An omission in the report of the Ia
kota Methodist Deaconess Association
as reported last week is regretted but
correction is gladly made this week.
Mr.. r. A. Storm was elected as a
member of the board of managers of
the association and his name should
have so appeared but was in some way
omitted in making up the copy.
The quarterly meeting of the Dea-
coness Aid Society will meet at the
Commercial Club rooms next Tues
day, January &c, at three o'clock. All
members and friends are urged TO be
present.
Hospital guests at present are An
drew Dahl of Lake Benton, Phoebe
Irwin of White, Will Willert of Verdi,
Mrs. Nellie Davis of Bushnell, Mrs.
Chris Jensen Of Aurora, Ole Mikkel-
son of Toronto, Elsie Rosburg of
Ward. Mrs. w. r. Steuerwald of Estel-
line. Mr.. Gilbert Chappell of Ashby,
Nebr., Julia Moe, and Mr.. j. F. Erwin
of Brookings.
Opportunity was given those attend
ing the State College Farm Course to
visit the hospital. Several availed
themselves of the invitation and were
shown yer the building and entertain
ed by some members of the board.
The hospital management will be glad
to show not only the out of town visit
irs the place but also the many home
folks who may desire to come. If
your time is limited call by phone and
make arrangement as to the hour.

TRIBUTE TO 5URkE

At the conclusion of the c~onsidera.
ton of the Indian appropriation bill in
the house OF representatives on Janu-
airy 8, Congressional Record, page
1860, says a Washington dispatch, the
chairman of the committee, Mr..
Stephens, yielded to the republican
leader. Mr.. Mann of Illinois, who said:
"Mr. Speaker. | think it is quite ap-
propriate for me to say a word, under
the circumstances, conveying at least
the best wishes of the house to those
members of the committee on Indian
affairs who will not be with US in The
next house.
There are eight of them who go OF
the committee. On this side of the
house, two of the oldest members in
point of service upon the committee
will retire. Two of the ablest mem-
bers on this side Of the house will go
out Of the house and off the commit.
tee on Indian affairs. The gentleman
from South Dakota (Mr. Burke) has
shown that he is one of the most cap
able men that ever sat in this hall and
one of the men who had the most in
innate knowledge of the intricacies of
Indian affairs. While we on this side
of the house had hoped still to have
his services in another body, we sin.
cerely regret that we are to part with
his services. Mr.. Burke, in my opin-
ion, has at different times, both as
chairman and as member of the com
mittee on Indian affairs, saved to this
government and to the Indians many
millions of dollars, and we could well
have afforded, so far as money con-
siderations are concerned, to have
paid him a pension for life in order
that he might give us his knowledge
and his sound judgment of Indian af-
fairs.
81 say the same kind words to the
gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Nc
Guire), and I extend the best wishes
of this side of the house to the men,
bers on the other side of the house
who are going off this great commit
tee on Indian affairs. where more ser
vice is rendered that is not of a per,
sonal interest to members, probably,
than an any other committee of the
house." (Applause.)

Their number is SO small in our his
tory that it is impossible even to begin
counting it. OF the four of our ex-
presidents who lived through a first
term and made no organized effort at
denomination, it Is safe to conclude
that none made his default willingly.
Conditions may arise before the be-
ginning of the ante-convention cam
pajgn In the democratic party which
will move Mr.. Wilson out of the run

II is not at all necessary to wait for
him to say, either directly or by impll-
cation, thata he is a candidate for a

That part of the Baltimore platform
declaring it to be the sense of the ma
tional democratic convention which
nominated Mr.. Wilson that a president
should not hold for more than one
term. urging a constitutional amend
ment to that end, and pledging the
nominee of that convention to that
principle, cannot materially affect the
situation from the presidents point of
view. If Mr.. Wilson is disposed 70

were it not for the fact that, as a
pusher and a puller for the advance
ment of State College, Ted went to
Pierre and with commendable and law
abiding frankness, carved his initials
on the lobbyists register. It seems
that somebody arose to state an objec-
ton, which drew from the Pierre Da-
kotan this comment: We acknowledge
that the editor may be a little dense
and not able to intelligently grasp the
many new propositions which spring
up, but for the life of us we cannot see
why the papers object to Teddy Akin
of Bookings, registering as a lobbyist
for the interest of the school at that
place. Ted is an honest law abiding
citizen. He always moves to Pierre at
the beginning of each session, and ii
would be an absolute impossibility for
Ted TO talk two minutes and not boom
the college. Knowing his own failing
he evidently was afraid some one
would spring the antilobby law and
cause him some trouble and to evade
the possibility of that he registered.
We believe he had a perfect right to
do so as he did and he should be COM
mended instead of criticised"

Editor Register:
I read with a great deal of interest
your editorial comment in the issue of
January 14th of the Brookings Regis
ter and I feel it my duty to answer
same.
In the first place, it would be impos-
sible for me to register as a lobbyist
at Pierre for any institution without
written authority from that institution.
So you can see Teddy could not slop
over" If he wanted to and further if
you can find my name on any register
or paper or letter of authority at
Pierre, you are entitled to the best hat
to be found in Brookings at my ex-
pense.
In regard to the charge that | was
working in the interest of the insur-
ance companies to repeal the publish
ing of annual statements law, I would
refer you to your lobbyist, Dick Halli-
day, who knows I have never done a
thing in this matter, and although l
might have expressed my private opin-
ion to you, l have expressed any
opinion to any member of the legisla-
ture for or against the law as it Is of
no interest to me. / am sorry you be-
lieve the Aberdeen and Pierre paper
reports, which have been copied by
other state papers.
Yours fraternally

WORK DURING SLACK SEASON

The central northwest states, by
some, are objected to because OF the
short crop-growing season and the Ion
winters. From a standpoint of crop
growing only, this is undoubtedly a
valid objection. To grow crops or to
produce new wealth only during about
five months, and have this manufac-
ture of human food st ped the re-
mainder of the yea is not good farm
economics.
There are about $4,000 farms in
South Dakota. 1t is safe to say that
each of these farms employs labor at
the rate of two men in the summer
and one during the winter. Granting
this to be true, an army of over 1OO,-
600 of South Dakota's best and strong
est workers is every fall turned from
a field Of production of new wealth to
a field of non-production of new
wealth; in some instances from a field
of activity to a field of inactivity.
This is a serious loss. The total loss
of so much intelligent human labor is
almost indescribable and beyond com
prehension of the finite mind. Who
can say how many of these men thus
turned away from a productive field
might not be able to produce a BANJO
slime Belle De Kol, a Jacoba Irene or
a Spotswood Daisy Pearl. Sure it is
