Local and Personal

William Thompson Of Volga was a
Brookings visitor last week.
Mrs. d. r. Phillips and children of
Folga were visitors in the city last
week.
Mrs. Robert Vergote returned TO her
home at Marshall, Mimi, last Thurs
day after a visit at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Alton.
Corn picking is the chief item on the
daily menu of the farmer these days
and no time is being wasted. Corn
pickers are being paid six and seven
cents per bushel. The fields are spot
ted, some having a good percentage of
hard corn while others are mostly soft.
The largest percentage of good corn
to the acre was grown between Huron
and Pierre.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Caldwell, Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Caldwell, Lyman Caldwell.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Wilson, and Mrs.
Peter Caldwell and young folks, all
from Brookings, were guests at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Schoen-
wether for the enjoyment of Thanks
giving festivities. The company was
composed of Mrs. Schoenwether's par
ents, her two brothers, two aunts and
their families. OF course the day was
heartily enjoyed, the relatives autoing
back to Brookings in the evening. In
addition to the above relatives, A. Els
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. J.. Schoen-
wether, and Miss Helma Milne, a neal
friend OF Mrs. A. E., were members of
the Thanksgiving party.-Lake Pres

A freight car coming from Chicago
to Brookings on the time freight and
which was switched to the way freight
here for peddling was found broken
into with two other cars when it reach
ed Volga, the first station west, last
car was broken and everything inside
had been gone over and badly pilfered.
Merchandise Of all kinds was thrown
around the car and the entire contents
appeared as though they had been
through a cyclone. The other two cars
had been pilfered but were not in
such bad condition. Conductor Street
err took the Chicago car on through to
Huron just as he found it for the of1c-
ials there to investigate. 1t is thought
the cars were opened between Volga
and Tracy, Mimi, as transfers had
been made at that place.

Buy advertised goods. Always

behind them. You get good
value for your money.

Mrs. l.. B. Chapman of Alexandria
arrived last Thursday night for a visit
with friends in Brookings. She came
here from Salem where she visited a
short time with MI. and Mrs. John
Jackson.
A Register reporter was very much
interested in a conversation carried on
by a number of farmers residing near
Brookings on one of our main streets
one day last week. OF course the corn
situation was the predominant subject.
One farmer stated that there was much
more corn in this part of the state CT II
marketable quality thar was anticipat-
ed when husking was commenced and
further stated that by the first of the
year much of it would be in shape to
be placed on the market. A large mum
Der of the farmers are taking the
trouble to pick out all the poor corn
and are finding that they are to be
well repaid for the extra trouble in
that the corn when cribbed will keep
much better and go onto the market
at a higher price, in fact there will be
no market except for feeding purposes
for corn that has not been sorted.

ers were given places on the mythical
a~ll-state elevens by so-called experts
last week, places which they we'll de-
served, but some of the other selec-
tons made by these experts" are re-
garded as a joke by those who have
seer the strong teams of the state in
action this year. The Yankton Herald
placed five Yankton players on the all
state eleven, two WATERFOWL men and
one each from Redfield and Huron
while Lynn Phipps and Elmer Kennard
of Brookings were given the left tackle
and left halfback positions, respective
Iy. Coach Wilcox of Aberdeen named
his all-state eleven and he placed Will
liam Burdette at right tackle end John
Alton at right end. The Register will
wager that the Brookings team intact
can give these all-statc eleyens, minus
the selections from Brookings, a beat
ing they will long remember.

palings of a fence just around the
corner of Main avenue and Sixth
street. The fence is gradually being
destroyed by some individual or set of
individuals just because the palings
are easy to break as might be suppos-
ed. This destructive propensity, if
INDUCED in to the limit, will lead to
other and more fragrant acts and may
land the perpetrator in prison in
course of time.
One morning recently, perhaps other
mornings, the street lights must have
been running on the summe schedule
for the town was in darkness. at the
time of the arrival of the early train
from the east and departing and ar
irving passengers had to find their way
to and from the depot in the dark.
There is more use for street lights
now between the hours Of five and
seven than there is from one to FIVE.
People who are out in the wee small
hours of the night do not deserve the
use of the street lights as much as
those who have business to take them
to the early train or to find their way
to the hotels or their homes. This one
instance might have been an over
sight and the criticism is not deserved.
An eastern man was in Brookings
for the first time on Hobo Day" and
observed that he had always wished
to see a western crowd on gala day
occasions. He paid a great compli-
ment to the general appearance of the
people on our streets and was pleased
with their courteous demeanor. There
was no hint of rudeness of any kind,
no evidence of intoxication and he
said that our citizenship would COM
pare favorably with that of any other
community in any part of the country.
Some of eastern brothers have
crude conceptions Of our western civil
ization and it is refreshing to learn
that their minds are being disabused
of such crudities by coming in con-
tact with us westerners from time to
time.

motored southwark from their Lam

their arrival made many friends and
acquaintance in the locality
Mr.. Pattengill, a gifted speaker,
addressed assemblies and congrega-

and all who have heard him will not
miss another chance to hear such a
brilliant lecturer He was here about
a week and has many times admired
the beautiful scenery in this part of
the state and wished as many times
that he could stay through the whole
winter, but found it necessary to re.
turn North. Mr.. Pattengill while here
was occupied continually in pleasure
trips, speech-making and the like, and
he considers his trip to the South as
one of the most pleasant periods in
his life.
