The bandstand in the school house
park has been repaired and put in
shape for the summer concerts. Now
if it could be painted up in green and
white to correspond with the beautiful
setting surrounding it, that Jim Jam

The Leon hotel is doing a splendid
business and there are numerous &C
casions wien Landlord Won ARK is at
a loss where to put all of his guests.
1t is no unusual thing for the hotel to
have over a hundred dinner guests on
Sunday.
E. J. Ray and j. NJ. Fuller have
bought a strip of land from John Tryg-
stad along the southeast corner of
Lake Campbell and will build a cot

of the finest places on the lake.
w. II. Murphy started out this week
to take the school census of the city.
tial that a complete count be obtained
and parents should see to it that the
names of their children are on the list.
AS the name of every school child en-
titles the city to between four and
five dollars from the state, it is essen
plete count be obtained and parents

their children are on the list.
President Carlisle of the Commercial
Club expects to name a committee
soon which will organize the city into
districts and take a complete census.
This list will be checked up with the
one taken by Assessor Rexford and in
this way it is hoped thai Brookings

figures that it deserves. Citizens can
help this committee and the assessor
by seeing that the name of everyone
they know of is recorded.
We note by the Redwood Falls
Mimi, Gazette that Redwood Falls has
a jitney bus in service hat is doing a
good business. Redwood Falls is not
any larger than Bookings, and we
presume that one of these days some
of our enterprising citizens will put in
a jitney line here. A line Of this kind
should do a good business between
town and college, as every day there
are a number of strangers who wish to
go out to the institution, but who dis
like the long walk, and 1t would also
no doubt be %patronized by local peo'
pie to a considerable extent. A local
party Is already planning to put on a
jitney line between here and Lake
Campbell when the new hotel is com
pleted there.
