ROBBERS STILL AT LARGE

Nothing very definite has been UNI
covered in the hunt for the silk thieves
who broke into the Ellis-Hall depart
ment store last week. The suit cases
that were checked from Egan did not
contain anything OF value, so that
clue was dropped, but on Tuesday
Sheriff Miner received word that two
men and a who were suspect
ed of being the thieves had been pick
ed up by the Mankato police. Mr..
Miner and Messrs. Ellis and Boyce of
the department store went down that
night, returning this morning. Mr..
Miner tells us that the outfit had a
suit case of silks in their possession
and that there was evidence that they
had more a few days previous, but had
probably disposed of it. Some of the
silks were of the same patterns that
We're stolen here, but every mark had
been stripped from it and it was I'M
possible for Mr.. Ellis or Mr.. Boyce to
identify it. 1t might have been part of
the silk taken from here or parts of
plumber taken from other towns, as
silk robberies have been numerous in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. There is
no doubt an organized gang of the
thieves, the Mankato parties being
only a part, who are operating and
they are able to cover their tracks so
thoroughly that there is little chance
of convicting them. The parties taken
at Mankato claimed that they were
ladies' tailors and that they were sell
ing direct to consumers and making
up the garments for them. At Albert
Lea they had rented a store building
and were retailing the silk over the
counter and they admitted doing the
same thing at Sioux Falls some weeks
ago. The Mankato police are still
holding the outfit, but it looks very
much as though it will be impossible
to prove anything on them.

MILK A e FOOD

Everyone agrees that milk, as com
pared with other food products, is one
of the cheapest" said c. j. Steffen,
president of the International Asso-
citation of Dairy and Milk Inspectors.
in an address. "The butcher, the
baker, the gardner may ask 20 per
cent or 80 per cent more for what
they have to sell and nothing is said,
but let one cent be added to the cost
of a quart Of milk and it is immediate
ly the subject of investigation by the
authorities. The need Of the dairy
business, in order to promote the best
interests of the consumer, is not more
laws, but laws more in harmony with
the desires of the consumer. Rest as
sured hat as soon as the consumer
stands ready to pay for the labor Incl
dental to the production of a clean
and pure milk supply, the producer
will meet the demand.
FURNISHING the people with milk,
safe and wholesome, is, after all, not a
question of law, as we all know. Cen
orally speaking, l believe that the
quality of the milk supply has i'm
proved faster than the people have
shown a desire to pay for improved
quality. In this connection, / I'm more
than convinced that the solution of
the clean milk problem is economic
and not political, and the ooner law
making bodies recognize it as such,
the sooner will the present tendency
of producers to cease milking cows,
be discontinued"

1914, will be strictly enforced, says a
Washington dispatch. Some misun-
derstanding has arisen from the fact
that the various state laws do not al
ways conform to the federal regula-
tions. This is regarded as unfortunate
but in such cases the department must
insist upon the observance of she
federal regulations.
The department will consider any
recommendations submitted in good
faith for amendment of the regulations
but will hold 40 public hearings there
on, nor will it amend the regulations
prior to October Is, 1915. 1t is the
purpose of the department to conform
the regulations to the wishes of the
majority of sportsmen SO far as it
can be done and at the same time give
wild fowl the necessary protection.
Federal regulations divide the Unit
ed States into two zones. Zone No. /,
the breeding zone, includes the states
Of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, and New Jersey, and all states
north Of them. Zone No. 2, the winter
ing zone, includes all states south of
those named.
The open season for South Dakota
and other northwestern states is Sep

Insectivorous birds protected indie

SOUTH DAKOTA INVENTOR

From a plain South Dakota farmer
to one of the inventors of America is
the stride which r. N. Bum has made
during the past few years, says a De
Smet dispatch. In the early days of
settlement of this part of the state
Bum and family lived on a farm north
of De Smet. From 1884 to 1888 he
served as auditor of Kingsbury coun-
ty. Upon retiring from farming he
moved with his family to Chicago and
became an employee of the postofice
in that city, a position which he still
holds.
About eight years ago Bum and his
son began work upon an idea that had
occurred to the elder man during his
working hours in the mailing depart
ment of the Chicago postofice. 1t is
a package tying machine, which will do
the work of many men. A short time
ago the result Of their joint efforts
was put into operation and has proved
a great success, with prospects that
the two inventors will become wealthy
from their invention. The machines
now are being introduced into the
New York postoffice, and it is expected
it will not be long until they have been
made a part of all the leading post
Offices of the United States where
great amounts Of mail are handled.
The government now is negotiating
with them for a large number of addi-
tional machines.
The little portable tyer is only
about three feet high and about a foot
square. 1t begins operations after the
mail has been distributed in the racks
by hand, ready for tying to so on the
trains. Then the machine is rolled

WHITE HAS A GRIEVANCE

Last weeks White Leader says:
"The Brookings Register notes that
the baseball fever is rising in their
city but neglects to give White credit
for it. Until our ball team blew into
their city and stirred them up they
were apparently dead to the world"
as far as baseball enthusiasm goes,
but thanks to their hustling neighbor,
White, real interest is again taken In
the national game.
1--WE notice that the county seat
papers did not give White the credit
she deserved in the games played at
the tournament and the challenge
game with Brookings, rather prefering
to laud their own team. Our boys
have been playing great ball this sea-
son and as baseball is a game Of
many angles, unfortunately for them
they lost the championship for which
they much coveted. They expected
the county papers to at least give
credit where credit is due"
The Register always aimed to be
fair with %neighboring ball teams and
we believe we have been fairer in our
baseball discussions than the Leader
has. Towns will get more "het up"
over baseball than any other one
thing, but we believe that on the
whole the Brookings papers have been
just as fair as those Of other towns.

PROSPECTS ARE
THE BRIGHTEST
FOR BIG TIME AT THE BROOK.
lNGs COUNTY FAIR NEXT
SEPTEMBER
ARE SUPPORTING THE FAIR
In a Loyal and Energetic Manner and
Citizens of the County Generally
Are Taking An Active Interest

This is the year when Brookings
county is taking stock of herself and
planning how she can show to the out
siders that it is the best part of the
great northwest. The county fair is
the place where this is going to be
done and each day sees the farmers
and housewives preparing to bring
splendid exhibits to swell the display.
Never was a fair so well supported
as is our local fair this year. Every
one of the newspapers have come to
its support in a loyal and energetic
name All over the county people
who have never before displayed an
interest are writing to know about 1t
and to get premium lists. Nine hun
dred lists were mailed out in the be.
ginning and more are going every day.
The Clifton-Kelly Carnival writes
that they have been joined by Major
L%ittlepage, wife and baby, the only
midget family in the United States.
Seldom is the dwarf attribute trans
mitted in a family, but in this instance
it is a wonder. Don't forget they will
be on the Midway.
l.. c. Kelley, the manager, writes
that he Is going to give us a fine line
of real, clean shows. And forever
disprove the idea that carnival COM
panies cannot be high class and moral.
Prof. Wilson, of the State College,
Is out in an article in support Of fairs
and he warmly endorses the county
fair as being the place to start in
making a name for yourself as a stock
breeder. He shows the advantage of
the advertising and the chance given
to learn things that otherwise could
not be acquired except at great out
lay of time and money. He urges every
one to be an exhibitor and do their
share to help the fair, and themselves
as well.
The displays in the Woman's de.
partment are expected this year to ex-
coed any former year. The crops Of
assistants to the superintendent are
experienced women who will devote
time, talent and experience to making
this a banner year in the history of
woman's work in the county.
The Old Settlers will hold their
regular meeting on Friday, the last
day, and the association will again
this year tender them a lunch at the
close of their program of exercises.
The meeting takes place in the morn
ing before the lunch. All pioneers be
sure and be present.
Children will be admitted free on
Wednesday, the second day. There
will be special sports for them and
all the amusement features on the
grounds are all the time perfectly
suitable for the young as well Is the
old. Nothing to shun and everything
to see.
Commencing with next week the
fair can begin to give an outline of
the program of each days perform
ance. Watch the county papers and
don't miss a single n of the great
things that there will be at the fair.

CROPS r FINE

BTOOklnSS county FARMERS are now
busy cutting one of the biggest crops
of small grain in thirty years. From
of big crops and with the price held
up by the European wal this section
should be most prosperous during the
coming year. Barley is reported to be
an especially good crop this year, but
oats and wheat are not far behind.
Corn is backward and yet with some
good warm weather for the next
month corr men predict that the yield
will be surprisingly large.
Brookings county is not alone in it's
prosperity, we are glad to report. From
every portion of the state east of the
Missouri the same reports of big yields
are coming, and the crop will be one
of the finest eve harvested in South
Dakota. West of the river is also
claiming a fine yield and there is not
a state in the Union hat will have
anything IN South Dakota. Especially
pleasing to BroOkings is the reports of
big, crops in the whole northern part
of the state, which grows largely small
grain. 1t is from this section hat the
State College gets most of its stu
dents and a big crop will naturally
bring in a much larger number.
The following august government re-
port for South Dakota, issued from
the Huron office, tells more ~eloQuently
than we can of the splendid prospects
over the state. 1t will be noticed that
the estimated yield is larger in every
case than last year, yer the corn
showing an increase. This increase,
however, is probably due to the is
creased acreage of this staple. The
report is as follows:
