HOSPITAL GRADUATION

The really first event of the Dakota
Deaconess Hospital this month was
the commencement exercises held
February first when Miss Wilhelmina
Kempf, the first nurse to complete the
prescribed course Of study was grad
uated.
The baccalaureate sermon by the
Rev. r. A. Bruce, at the Methodist
church on Sunday morning was ex-
ceedingly helpful and the program
given the following evening at the
Presbyterian church was not only rep
resentative of the interest of the peo-
pie of the community-as was also
the a~udience--but was a program
which gave pleasure to others than
the graduate.
The addresses of the evening were
given by DR.. A. w. Hyde and the Rev.
M. b. Milne. Both speakers had many
appreciative words for the nurse, tne
nursing profession, and also for hos
pital and trained service generally.
The vocal solos by Miss Aurora Leek-
ley and Mr.. Sam Sloan and the violin
selection by Prof. Christensen gave
great delight to the audience. Minis
tiers from all the churches shared in
the duties of the commencement.
The interest of the ladies of the
Deaconess Aid Society was shown in
their thoughtfulness for the nurse be-
ing graduated. Instead of getting
flowers which would perish over night
they decided to get a fine leather
nurses bag that Miss Kempf might
have a constant remembrance of their
good wishes for her. Their thought
fulness was greatly appreciated by
Miss Kempf.
Taken altogether the first gradual.
ing exercises Of the Nurses Training
School of the Dakota Methodist Dea-
cones Association was a most pleas
ant event.

INCARCERATION

Yesterday morning at 1915 o'clock
at the First Presbyterian church oc-
Cured the marriage of Miss Lila Fay
Alton to Albert Francis Vergote. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. w.
A. Mast and was witnessed by the i'm
mediate relatives. The wedding was
a quiet one and also a surprise to the
people of Brookings as apparently no
intimation of the coming event had
been given.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Alton and Is well and
favorably known to the people of this
community as this was her home until
a little more than a year ago when
she went to Marshall, MINI. She Is
an attractive and accomplished young
woman and was always a favorite
here, especially in musical circles. The
people of this community felt 1t a
great loss when she decided to leave
as she had been a popular instructor
in music and had lead the choir in
the Presbyterian church for several
years.
Mr.. Vergote is a popular young bust
ness man of Marshall, MINI. He is
well spoken of by those who know him
as a man Of good habits and good
promise and he Is certainly fortunate
in the selection of a wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vergote left on the
morning train for Minneapolis and
other points where they will spend
some time after which they will be at
home at Marshall.
The brides large circle of friends
here will unite in wishing them a long
and prosperous journey through life.

The next largest mail order house,
that of Montgomery Ward & Co., Of
whose business no details are given
out, is said to have done last year a
business exceeding $50, 000, 900, which
is considered the biggest business in
the history of the company.
Both these houses started on a very
small scale, with little capital and lit
tie credit. That they achieved such
tremendous success was due to the
ability of their founders to judge pos
sibilities and outlook. They were
able to forecast the future in the line
in which they embarked. They had
the brains to judge and the ability to
build up. The history of these two
firms confirms the experience that in
commercial endeavor brains count
more and achieve more than capital.
We are pointing to these two most
conspicuous successes for the reason
that there are too many who claim
that the times when big enterprises
can be created from small beginnings
with little capital, have passed forever.
They have not passed. They are still
with us. They will always be with
us. AS long as there are brains to
judge what new field can be exploited
and prophetic minds to grasp posi-
b%ilities, so long will the world witness
the creation of immense businesses
out of small beginnings.
Mr.. Hall who has given this matter
a great deal of thought and attention
has, unlike most others, never found
it possible to lay all the blame upon
the patrons of these institutions, be-
lieving that a lot of it belonged to the
merchants themselves and some of It
to the fact that in years gone by It
was impossible for merchants to carry
complete stocks in newly settled COM
munities, and that in consequence
people were forced to send away for
goods and thereby acquired the habit.

Hall after entering the mercantile bus

iness and printed in the Register in
November, 1913, reads as follows
1T is not only right but proper that
people should buy where they ear get
the best goods for the least money. A
large number of Jul best people hon,
estly believe that they can save
money by purchasing of catalogue
houses and we just as honestly be
lieve to the contrarS'
That has always been his position
and the Ellis-Hall Co. set about win
ming this business back by carrying a
more complete stock, by buying IN
larger quantities-car load lots in
many instances-and meeting cata-
logue house prices fairly and squarCly.
This they advertised to do and they
have w yet failed to make good
on the proposition. So successful nave
they been in this respect that they
have issued this catalogue and will
%henceforth conduct in connection with
their retail business a mail order de-
partment.
See for a moment what it will mean
for South Dakota if this business can
be kept at home. 1t is c~onservatively
estimated that there is ten million
dollars taken out of South Dakota
every year by eastern mail order coz
Germs. Assuming for the sake of argu-
ment that the tax rate the state over
is the same as in Brookings county
there is lost in taxes alone about $685.
900. In addition to this it is a well
known fact that merchants are the
most liberal contributors to every
civic enterprise and it is impossible
to estimate what is lost in this way.
The more business they have the
more can they contribute to better the
cities in which they do business.
The concern will also install March
l an up-to-date millinery department.
This department to occupy space on
the balcony and over the wardrobes in
which is kept the ladies ready-to-wear
Attractive fixtures will be
installed and a larger and more at
tractive stock carried than has been
common here. These new additions
to the concerns activities will neces-
state an increase of capital and this
matter will be taken up Immediately.
Talking with a Register representa-
tive Mr.. Ellis stated that he had
thought that when they moved into
their new quarters and added the new
departments taken on at that time
that it would be at least five years be-
fore anything additional would he
needed, but that the growth of the
and the business had made
it imperative that they still further
enlarge. To do this he said would re-
quire more capital than that possessed
by Mr.. Hall and himself, who now own
all the stock, and that. others would
be interested. Mr.. Ellis declined to
just what the plans were in this
connection but from our talk with him
we are led to believe that they might
be willing to associate with them a
few of the well-to-do farmers here
abouts, believing these would be not
only of assistance in outlining policies
to meet the wants of the trade, which
is so largely agricultural, but that it
would aid in many other ways.
The splendid success of this con-
Germ and their optimistic belief in
the city and territory is most crafty
ing and the Register believes with
them that Brookings has only just
and is destined to become one
of the leading cities of the state.

The Register job printing depart
ment is just completing a job which,
if we mistake not, means a whole lot
to Bookings and vicinity. This is no
more nor less than a catalogue for the
Ellis-Hall Co. While this initial cat
alogue in no way compares with the
catalogues with which we are all
familiar it is very complete as far as
it goes and what is more important
it will absolutely convince the most
skeptical that the local concern can
meet catalogue house prices.
oncerns all-the merchant really the
least-is evidenced from a study of
what the catalogue houses do. The
annual statement of sales made by
Sears, Roebuck & Co., as given below
shows that the business of that great
concern has grown during the past
year.. The total sales for 1914 were
SOL, 121 ,654, a net increase of $685.,
$50 over those of 1913. Besides this
enormous volume done by one retail
mail order house there are several
others reported as tr~ansacting tens
of millions of trade annually to say
nothing Of the little fellows who do a
million or two a year. The figures of
Sears, Roebuck & Co. are as follows:
