Every citizen should assist the city
authorities in cleaning up the town by
putting his own place in good shape.
Brookings is known as the ~cleanest
and prettiest town in the state and
that reputation is worth something
to us.
Fred Cole dropped into town Satur-
day night for a couple of days visit
With old friends. He is not yet per-
manently located and will probably re-
turn to this section. He reports the
family well, but states that his health
has not improved as much as he hoped
for in the west.

A miserable imposter is said to be
travelling over this country selling a
recipe for taking off warts, when
everybody knows the only way to take
off a wart is to rub it with a potato,
which is afterwards to be buried by a
red-headed colored ma in the north
east corner of a graveyard at, midnight
in the dark of the moon. AS the pota-
to decays the wart will disappear

Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Fishback re-
turned home this week from their visit
of several months in the south and
east. They visited Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and Florida, and on their way to
Brooklyn to visit their daughter they
spent a couple of weeks in Washing
ton. Mr.. Fishback tells us that bust
ness conditions are unsatisfactory in
the South and East and that nowhere
did he find a section so prosperous as
this part of South Dakota.
Thousands of fish n running up
the lakewood creek into. Clear Lake
this week and our local sportsmen are
having a fine time spearing pickerel,
and are getting some fine specimens
too. 1t is thought that splendid fish
ing will be had in Clear Lake this
year, as the water is higher than it
has been for several years. Local
parties have applied to the government
%hatcheries for another lot of bass and
croppies, and it will be but a few years
until Clear Lake will afford as good
fishing as any lake in the state. BY
the addition of the new dam the lake
will never be as low as it has been in
previous years, and there is but little
possibility of it's ever freezing to the
bottom.-Clear Lake Courier.
Perhaps nowhere in the northwest
can be found a college and city with a
more %brotherly relation than is exist
ing between the State College and the
City of Brookings. This was amply
demonstrated last Friday evening
when nearly a thousand students, fac
ulty members, and employees of the col
lege gathered as guests of the CONNER
cial Club, at what POSTMASTER Hall
called "The largest family ever gather
ed around a table in B%rookings."
Brookings and the State College are
bosom friends and each is continually
working for the happiness and prosper
ity of the other. Such a state of affairs
is certainly to be commended and it is
our hope that the bonds of friendship
may grow even stronger as years go
by.-Collegian.
