THE CROW'S-NEST

.
A few years ago the city council
passed an ordinance regulating the
speed Of automobiles in the residence
portion of the city and fixed a certain
maximum in what was designated the
business portion, or the "congested
district" The street gossips made
considerable fun of the latter term. 1t
has transpired that the city council
was legislating for the future. The
auto ownership has increased so
rapidly in the last few years and the
street travel by mean Of motor We
hicles OF all kinds has multiplied so
much that our main street, especially
at the intersection of Williams street,
has become really a congested dis.
trict on our busiest days. The council
has placed a traffic man at the above
mentioned corner for the purpose of
trying to regulate travel so as to pre-
vent accidents. Several near-accidents
nave otCulltu ou Ihut II dhu ~
was a wise move to take the necessary
precautions to try to prevent the en-
dangering of the lives of passers-by.
The traffic mans orders should be
obeyed.
1t Is reported that last week a new
house was started by one of our citi-
Zens and that he had seven applica-
tions to rent 1t in almost that many
days. This means either n OF two
things, renters are seeking houses that
are being modernized and the old style
ones are not in demand, or there Is an
unusual number of people moving into
the city this fall. With the number
of new residences that have been built
this year and others under construc-
ton 1t would seem that the demand for
houses to rent would soon be supplied,
else our population Is increasing more
rapidly than we imagine. 1t would be
a good sign IL more sales Of houses
were reported, for that would indicate
that the increase vas of a permanent
nature rather than transient. All are
welcome, however, for the transcients
may come TO like Brookings so we'll
that they will invest and become per-
manent residents. We need more
houses to rent or sell.

 Mrs. William H. Boiling, the brides mother gave her away The presi- dent stood to the right of the clergy men and the bride stood on the left. At once Dr. Smith began the words of the Episcopal marriage service, the president making his responses first and then the bride making hers. Al ter the bride promised to love, cher ish and obey" the president placed the wedding ring plain band of gold, upon her finger. and then, after a prayer and while the couple clasped their right hands together, pr Smith declared them man and wife. The brief and simple ceremony was over.
 The entire party then turned to thc dining room. where a buffet sup per was served The decorations there were in pink, and on the buffets were banked growing ferns and pink roses The tables were decorated with Lady Stanley rose blossoms. on t ldbie m me center was the wedding cake a fruit cake several layers high, ernamented with sprays of pink or eh.ds in the center.

most elaborate and, for that matter, costly character.
 Christmas ceremonies also are very elaborate and are reminiscent of Pa gan rites. One of the customs is to cut down q tree in the forest. and in falling it must lie to the east. In every household such a tree is cut into three portions, and is looked upon as being sacred and not to be touched. There is much throwing of wheat which has a certain symbolic signh. canoe. and the log is then placed on the fire. while, at the same time. the inevitable pig is roasted for a feast. The ceremonies continue during Christmas day. which is given up to feasting. mingled with religious ex. hortations, and only come to an end when the night Is far advanced.

 Although the houses in the country are not very large, there is still provi- sion made for the guest. who may be a perfect stranger but who is welcome To the hospitality which Is a tradition with Scrhians in the same way as IL used to exist fin the Scottish High lands. The industries of Serbia are small. as compared with agriculture and this unfortunately is the result of settled policy, which until recent years was enforced by the governing classes. When Serbia comes to her own again after the present war. much ia the national life will be changed the old order of things will have passed away and the development of other industries besides those associ- ated with agriculture Is certain to take place

"HE kingdom of Serbia is one
 of the smallest in Europe. and
 has been very slow in devel-
 opment Greater progress. however. has been made during the last ten years than for centuries be- fore. The area of the country is B. S91 square miles, the population being over four and a half millions. mostly professing the Greek orthodox faith The inhabitants are largely devoted to agricultural pursuits and. as a conse- Quence, there are very numerous small farms in existence which belong to the farmers. and by the law of primo geniture descend from father to son. Although there are two large towns Belgrade and Nish. most of the popu- lation is rural. and S5 per cent. at least. are engaged in agriculture; but 1t is of primitive kind. as may be witnessed any day on the small farms referred to where the wooden blow used in the days of Xcnophor may be seen in daily use
 This primitive state of agriculture is largely due to the absence of any organization or systematic aGrieultur- al education. Modern methods have only been introduced in a tentative way during the last ten years. but there are no agricultural colleges vet in existence. although there are number of model farms which are sub sidized by the state, and in which technical instruction in dairying fruit farming. silk cultivation. wine growing and similar subjects Is given. Tobac- co is produced to some extent. but is not very much exported. and in- deed the total exports from the coun- try are comparatively small. the larg- est amount being sent to Austria-IIun- gary.
