Here is a hint for campers. There is
a way to protect yourself against mos
q~uitOes. Make up a mixture of one
ounce of chronicle, one ounce spirits
of camphor and one ounce of oil of
cedar. Apply this to the face and
hands while in the mosquito district
and the insects won't come near you.
1t is stated that the mixture will not
injure the skin.
Elkton will hold two special cleo
tons next week. On Tuesday the citi-
zens will vote on an electric light fran
chise and on Saturday they will decide
by ballot who they want for postmas-
ter. We don't know any good reason
why the people shouldn't elect a post
master and it wouldn't be a bad idea
for Brookings to follow the example
of Elkton when the democrats get
ready to take over the local office.
Brookings may have a grudge
against the weather man, but after
all we are getting away better than
other places in the Northwest. Out in
the Black Hills there was a foot of
snow this week and in North Dakota
Tuesday morning the thermometer got
down to ten below freezing, and at
Yankton they had hail so heavy that
it lay on the ground two feet deep,
Besides that there has been cyclones
and windstorms in this state and Min
nesota and Wisconsin.

A cyclone swept over an area forty
miles long and a half mile wide from
Blunt east Tuesday evening. The
towns of Blunt and Highmore suffered
the most and the damage is estimated
to be 5000, 900. One person was killed
near Highmore, a Miss Clara Wright,
cousin of Orville Wright, the famous
aviator. The storm swept away prac-
tically everything in its path and did
much damage to growing crops. Sew

storm was the most severe that has
eve visited that section.
