The Home Town Citizen.

There is a man in this town, known
to US all. who is just about our ideal of
good citizen. He is making his money
here, he is raising and educating his
family here, and he expects to live and
die here. When he has any money to
spend he first looks carefully over the
advertisements in this paper. If he
finds what he wants he goes there and
gives that merchant the first opportun-
ity. In everything he gives the home
merchant the preference. He believes
in his home town and because he does
believe in it he grasps every possible
means of advancing its interests by
keeping his money in circulation at
home.-Preston Republican.

The GARRETT COUNTY FAIR.
Aviator Luckey with his 100 Horse

The Fair Association has been fortu-
nate enough to book an engagement
with William S. Luckey, the famous,
daring and most successful aviator in
the United States.
This remarkable aviator uses 100
horse power Curtiss Hydro aeroplane
for his flights through the air and his
wonderful manouvers in the skies.
Luckey's sensation flying, such as
racing with automobiles and motor
cycles; war manoeuvers, such as aerial
bomb dropping, flying to Deer Park and
other nearby towns, delivering adver-
Using matter from his airship; the dip
of death, the ocean wave, the spiral
glide, will thrill the tens of thousands
who will witness his daring feats.
He delighted the crowds at the Cum
berland fair last fall. In one of his
flights he was in the air as minutes.
He flew from Cumberland to Lonacon-
ing, over the mountains 5000 feet above
sea level. He has covered 60 miles in
less than an hour.
Daringly dipping from high altitude
to within few feet of the earth, then
shooting back again to the air-making
all sorts of curves and thrills, he as
tonishes all who witness his daring
feats.
1t is certainly great feat that the
people of Garrett county are to enjoy
during the coming fair. We are read

taking in the foreign war, soon we
are to see something of the work
done by the aviators of Europe.

Merchants of Oakland have entered
into the spirit of "Clean-Up Week"
and some of them have made an offer to
sell at cost various articles necessary to
bring about a sanitary condition in the
homes and about the premises of Oak
lands residents.
The dump pile, which was inaugu-
rated some years ago by the Civic Club,
has been very much augmented in size
during the past two weeks. Let the
good work go on. Househoders, give
Oakland such a spring cleaning as it
never had before.
Some back yards are nearing per-
lection and some of the alleys are suf-
fering their own burden of refuse as
we'll as that of the adjoining back yards.
The town ordinances make the &C.
cupants of the property responsible for
the care of the adjacent alley.
Next week will be Clean Up Week, )"

ing Saturday evening, Everybody seems
imbued with the spirit and if it should
be lasting the change in the appearance
of Oakland will be wonderful.
For the occasion Mr.. James P. Treacy

wash brushes at cost. Take advantage
of the offer and use both literally about
your premises.
Messrs. J. M. Davis & Sons will give
a special price during the week on

ENGINEER EXPLAINS ABSENCE

With reference to the meeting of the
landowners in Brookings several
weeks ago to decide upon the on
struction of the Sioux Valley drainage
ditch, the following portion of a letter
to another party has come to the
notice of the state engineer:
State Engineer Derr was not here.
He was expected to be here and had
requested that notice be Sent him of
he time of the meeting. and he was
notified by various parties, and the
fact that he was not here backing his
proposed plans helped materially to de-
feat the project"
Mr.. Derr wishes to explain that no
request in writing to be present at the
above mentioned meeting had reached
him. A newspaper clipping announc-
ing the same was received a day or two
before the meeting, but it must be re-
membered that he has many engage
ments to be in all parts of the state
much of the time, and was scheduled
to be elsewhere on that day. Further
more, he is not authorized to use his
expense funds for such purposes with
out at least a semi-oficsal request in
writing that a be placed on file in
the records of the office. A letter ask
ing for a written opinion on the feast
bility of a ditch Of about half the
capacity of the proposed one was re-
ceived, in which it was stated that it
was desired to use the opinion to in
1uence the results of the meeting, if
deemed advisable, but it contained no
request for the state engineer to be
present. In fact, it might almost have
been surmised from the letter that the
presence of the state engineer was not
desired. (Signed)
Homer M. Derr.

wards waived a preliminary hearing
and entered a plea of guilty In Judge
Sherwood's court. He was engaged
in soliciting subscriptions to various
magazines, collecting 80 cents from
each person. He has operated quite ex-
tensively in North and South Dakota
and some in Montana and has probably
collected thousands of dollars. Sheriff
Fred S. MINER and Mr.. Purdy wish to
do all in their power to prevent these
frauds upon the public but so long as
people will pay their money to strang-
ers and cash checks for persons whose
financial standing is known to be
worthless just so long will swindlers
thrive and the taxpayers be out money

Military Preparedness
Brookings Register:

Editor BrOOKlnSS register.
A national proposition is the sum-
ming up of all local situations. 1t
takes money to prepare for war. 1t
takes men out of useful productive in
dustry and puts them where they are
non-producers, and other things that
accompany the congregated elements
we have not experienced to vouch for
except to a very limited extent. 1t
looks as if restraint was insufficient to
make them men that we would want
as heirs to wealth or husbands for our
daughters.
Since the Cuban-Philippine war we
have not had a surplus of men looking
for work on our farms at wages that
ought to be attractive as compared to
previous wages. Farm proprietors that
were in the prime of life twenty years
ago must drop out of the blunt of the
service. The full dinner pail cannot
stand it to have men who should fill
their places, fool away much time at
army life. Foodstuffs are already
high enough. What the country wants
is not to put surplus men into army
life but to open up some field of en-
ployment. 1t is much better to have
these men in mail rural route service
than to take them way from their
homes and quarter them at some mill
tary post.
There is no doubt but that there
when there is peace in Europe but let
us take useful pursuits and not the
military to adjust matters.

LOST FORTUNE NEAR HERE

When Frank ID. Brown, a travelling
mar Of Minneapolis, made a visit to
Brookings county last week after an
absence of more than thirty years, he
discovered how he missed a fortune by
not retaining a South Dakota home
stead on which he made entry in 1873,
says a Volga dispatch. He and a
brother resided on the land west of
Brookings for a period of four years,
or until 1882, when they sold the farm
for $4,000. Only recently the same
farm was sold for $4,000. However,
Mr.. Brown has prospered during the
intervening period and stated that he
did not worry because other men made
a fortune from the farm. He expressed
pleasure that his successors on the
farm had made good money. While
recalling the pioneer days during his
visit Mr.. Brown stated that he and his
brother-in-law, Frank Pond, a well
known early pioneer, hauled the first
two loads of grain to Volga that ever
were marketed there. At that time
there was a town of lakewood, where
most of the trading of the locality was
done. AS one of the early homestead
ers Mr.. Brown experienced all the pri-
vations of the first settlers. Farmers
in those days were few and far be-
tween in this part of Bookings county,
which now is one of the most prosper
Gus sections of the United States and
is thickly dotted with fine modern
homes of the prosperous farmers.

In the land of the free" it is the
privilege of Americans to openly voice
their sentiments, even if they do not
exactly conform to those of the ma
tons heads. Such a privilege is the
backbone of this republic.
One question is being discussed all
over the nation at present; that of ma

of d costly national defense program
have many strong followers, but, in
our humble opinion, the Register firm
ly believes that if a poll of the voters
were taken a large majority would op-
pose it. The farming population and
small business interests do not favor
the administrators views on the Ques-
ton, if n is to judge from the senti-

This week the Register received the
following two communications upon
the subject which are highly interest
