More Shoes; Less Beer in Chicago

DuOtSs LSSS Deer III
Chicago kiddies, even the poorest of
them, wear Sunday shoes now. There
was a time not very long ago when
hundreds of them went barefoot on
Sundays and weekdays, too.
But last week Chicago Mothers
the tenement-dwelling mothers-had
$4,000 to spend on shoes and stock
ings for their babies.
Where did they get this great sum
of money? They snatched it from
the stream of dimes and nickles that
once flowed from the family pay en-
velope into the cash registers of T.
900 saloons. That was before Chica-
go enforced its DRY Sunday" law a
motnh ago.
During the last four weeks Chica-
go mothers have spent 100000 week
ly on food. A month ago their fami-
lies were underfed; the saloonkeepers
demanded that 100000 as part of
their Sunday wages-and the wages
were always collected.
According to Arthur McCoid, at
torney for the citizens committee and
leader in the movement to enforce the
dry Sunday" law Chicago already
is profiting to the following extent:
100000 is saved each week TO
legitimate commerce by Sunday clos
ing.
100000 is spent each week on
groceries, in excess Of weekly ex-
penditures last month.
100000 is spent each week on
homes, rent, etc.
$4,000 is saved each week in cash
savings.
The 100000 itemized represents
money that would have been spent
by working men if the saloons were
open Sundays. 1t comes from the pay
envelopes.

DICKINSON NORMAL

The Hettinger County Herald has
this to say of the Dickinson Normal
measure:
The people living in the New Eng
land territory should rejoice with the
people of Dickinson that the resolu-
ton for locating a state normal school
at the Stark county metropolis has
been passed and the proposition will
be submitted to the vote of the people
in 1916.
A thorough investigation has
brought out the fact that the enroll
ment from the southwestern section
of the state in other institutions is
very low and that the new school will
not in any manner injure the other
schools.
The class of population is such as
that the school must be brought to
them if the best results r to be at
tanned and Dickinson, by reason of
it's location, is in the heart of the big
district that must be supplied with
normal school facilities.
The area that will be supplied by
this school is $4,000 square miles
(one-fourth of the entire area of the
state), which has for years been con-
tributing to the construction of other
state institutions. The territory is
larger than the combined area of the
states Of Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island and Delaware.
The people in the district r pay
ing annually about $500, 900 for teach
ling service.
In the eleven counties affected in
vestigation a year ago revealed the
fact that 1,131 teachers were teach
ling on permits-unable to attain ele-
mentary teaching certificates. Only
III per cent Of the teachers are nor
NAL school graduates.
The distance from Dickinson to
Valley City, the nearest normal
school, is $50 miles, while the average
distance from normal schools is 275
miles.

TRANSIENT

There should be some way Of pre-
venting people from coming into a
city Or village late in the season and
closing out a stock of goods and
leaving again before time for collect
ing taxes. A number of these tran
sient merchants have visited Dickin-
son in years past, usually coming in
late summer or early fall, after the
crop is assured, and remaining until
the quiet winter trade season, when
they suddenly change their minds and
leave. No taxes have been collected,
but the short resident merchants have
themselves to the best trade
Of the whole year and passed along.
contributing nothing to the support
of the county or state government.
The system is all wrong. Local
merchants do not, as a rule, complain
against equal competition, but they
do, and rightfully too, complain about
the temporary merchant who comes
in to unload a bankrupt stock and is
allowed to slip away without paying
a license or taxes. This is unfair
competition and should be stopped.

eminent Trail"
Incidental mention might be made
of the fact that some men in the
month of May, 1882, were imbued
with the fact that lime was hardly
to be had for construction purposes,
and they discovered on Young Mans
Butte quantities of stone that looked
to their inexperienced eyes like lime
stone and as wood for burning lime
was pretty plentiful nigh the butte,
they proceeded to excavate into the
butte far enough for their purpose,
and procured wood from the oak
coulee adjacent, the place where Mr..
Brookings' home nov is, they at the
same time occupying the house that
had been the stage ranch building.
But these worthless had reckoned
without their host, SO to speak, for
after doing every logical thing that
should have produced carbonate of
lime they found on opening their
kiln, that there was a lot of disin-
tegrated rock inside, as red as a
fox's tail, but not lime by any means.
The red color that the rock had TAX
en- on during the incinerating process
was caused by the presence of iron
the rock itself was clay-boulder, and
it lay all over the top of the butte
in a Illuminated structure that was de-
ceiving to say the least. In fact it
looked to the inexpert beholder, x
actly like lime stone that we have all
seen in the east.
This was disappointing to every
one who had looked upon the fact Of
a possible supply of lime being pro-
duced right where it was so badly
needed, but after this little episode
had transpired, and the memory had
faded, other activities engrassed the
attention of the settlers, and at Glad
stone a company was formed, and
brick was made in 1882, but it must
be confessed that they were not A
No. 1 as compared with present pro-

FAMOUS BROOKINGS FARM
SOME LIME KILN HISTORY

The Dickinson Press:
In writing reminiscently of Old
Timers I must not forget n of the
most picturesque of them all and one
that was one of the very first.
One fine morning in the month Of
May, 1882, there appeared at the I'm
migrant house a surveyor and his
aids with their equipment ready to
begin the work of subdividing the
township in which Green river was
| situated.
1 have reference to r. S. Brook
ings, who was the contractor for the
mentioned work of subdivision.
Mr.. Brookings at that time was a
very handsome man, as mankind IN
their early manhood 60. He was
erect, of the right height, showed
that he was in robust health and in
the enjoyment of all his facilities.
Mr.. Bookings was clad in a new suit
of tan corduroys, that fit him to the
Queens taste. His subordinates were
two or three young men and they had
an outfit with them suitable for the
work in hand. ~ 4.
Mr., Bookings introduced himself
to the officials of the colony board
that we're present, and after consul
tation, the surveying crew got to
work on their mission and later, per-
haps about the first day OF August,
completed the job.
It very quickly became known gen
orally that members of the colony
board had attempted to tamper with
Mr.. Brookings regarding giving in
side information to the board that
would be Of value to them personally
in the matter Of selection of lands
Throughout the township. Of course
1Mr. Brookings indignantly refused to
do any such thing as to give PREM
formation, and so there sprung up a
GOODNESS between the board and Mr..
Brookings that resulted in Mr.. Brook
lings believeing that this colony was
composed of anything but Christians,
although he always called them by
1.-THE name of "The Christians" when
ever he had cause to refer to any of
While surveying farther east, Mr..
Brookings became enamored with the

las practicable fastened his claim to

who was crazed with liquor

Over His Initiation into State

FAIRMoNT, Oct. 21.-olandus
West, popular Clarksburg oil and
gas man. Joined the state board OF
trade during the meeting here this
week, but his advent into the or
ganization was troublesome one.
Mr.. West deposited his check on
Tuesday, and believing that he was
entitled to the privileges Of the
club started to vote when election
of officers was called yesterday.
Some thought that the new men,
bers had not been properly taken
in and his ballot was challenged.
The matter was widely discussed.
Mr.. West had strong desire to
take the o'clock car to his home
where he wanted to get dinner. He
told the meeting of his cravings but
it did not hurry his vote, which,
when cast, was after the o'clock
RATHER had departed.
Then more trouSSes came up rel
alive to the election and when Mr..
West started to get the 6 o'clock
car he found that the tellers were
using his hat for a ballot receptacle.
The tellers refused to change, fear
ing charge OF fraud and the popu-
lar Clarksburger missed second
car in order to get his top-piece.
From his remarks It Is to be doubted
IL he attends the Huntington meet
ing next fall.
