WILL. ORGANIZE HERE

Miss Sara NJ. Smith and Mrs. f. T.
LaRue., field secretaries of the Child
Conservation League of America, are
here to form a local circle of Brook
ings mothers. The cities of Sioux
Falls. Mitchell, Canton, YanktOn, Yer
million, Elk Point and Beresford have
been visited recently anu large and en-
thusiastic circles orgaized.
The Child Conservation League Of
America is a national organization in
]corporated under the laws of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and its purpose, as
it's nam indicates, it to preserve the
intellectual, moral and physical purity
and strength Of childhood and youth.
This end is promoted by means Of
literature for instruction to be furnish
ed parents and educators, by the au-
thoritization and formation of local
and state organizations, and also by
lectures and other proper methods Of
publicity and information.
The importance of a c. C. L. circle
to Bookings mothers cannot be over
estimated. Professional men, business
men, horticultrists and stock-raisers
have found it profitable to obtain pro-
fessional training or expert guidance
in the preparation for their vo%catious.
Those engaged in child-rearing have

Wednesday a. m. in company with e.

truded his nose into every corner of
and into every activity Of the Brook

Some Fair!
Every building, coop, pen and what
MT is filed to overlooking with things
made, grown, produced, evolved, or
started and finished in Bookings coun-
ty. Winding in and about it all were
the best folks on earth, wearing three
ply grins, exuding from every pore
pride and satisfaction; and ~radiating
real happiness and an air of prosperity
that is founded on things THAT ARE.
AS an evidence that the fair is up to
the minute you are confronted at the
very entrance with a large sign show
ing the location Of the gate for autos
and Fords 1880 and freight; see Bun

ven people in Brookings county and
the gate is a necessity not scenery.
Oozing through the gate your eyes
alight upon a twentieth Gentry merry

THE CROW'S-NEST


About this time of the year the car
toonists are put to it to invent nm
thing funny in regard to the opening
of the school year. The boy is usually
pictured as bewailing the fact that his
rollicking vacation is over and that he
Is creeping to school with unwilling
feet. This might have been the case
with the average c%artOonist when he
was a boy in the long ago but it is
stretching the point to represent pres
ent day boys as being reluctant to en-
ter school after a summers vacation.
It does one good to see the happy eX-
preston on the face Of the average
pupil when he meets group after
group on the way to school on the
opening day of the new term. No re-
~luctart feet are in evidence on such
occasions. The ~cartoonists had better
give us the other side of the picture
for a while.

Seven or eight minor automobile ac-
cidents in the last two weeks in and
about this city have been reported.
That no one has been killed or serious
ly injured is a fortunate thing for
those who have been victims. 1t does
not excuse the matter of reckless driv-
ing on the part of those who have
caused the accidents. The extreme
carelessness of some OF our inexper-
fenced or youthful drivers will prob
ably continue until a very serious ac-
cident occurs, then the community
will be Mortified enough to try to put
a stop to careless driving. It is a
common remark on the street that sev
eral young people who are entrusted
with cars and who are just about or
under the age limit are sure to come
to grief. In a crowded street no young
person Is sure enough of the control
of a car to be able to bow right and
le' to acquaintanceS on the sidewalks.
A group Of laughing youngsters out for
a joy ride along the residence streets
in the evening is a hazard for every
pedestrian who is on his way home.
Nearly every footman has a story of
some narrow escape he has had from
being run over on some street cross
ing. Owners of cars ought to know
whether young drivers are using the
proper care in observing the city ordi-
nances There is a moral as well as a
financial risk in the reckless driving
of cars.

 There probably were millions living ill China before thousands lived in Europc or hundr Us in America. It's soil has been put to greater test ih2n any soil on earth.
 The point is. the soil Of China has not played out. It is still being made to produce q maximum yield W tbout good work by the soil in China every year there would be fam he.
 One of the things tha backward Shlna is teaching Americans is the proper utilization of garbage and waste material from iJ.ge cfties a5 teffillzers At present six cities in the United States operate heir own gar oage reduction plants and twenty send their garbage to private plants These produce l60.0OA tons of fprti- lizer a year. And it has only been Hi recent years that this process was adoptei.
 Properly utilizing city waste as fert lizers was made a close study in China centuries ago.

RUSSIAN CONSUL
 CONVICTED AS SPY
Sentenced to Twelve Years in Pri>. ,On for Espionage That Netted
 Him x1J0.UGO.

Leipzig, April S.-Afte? 2Fsecret trial lasting two days, Robert Eek. the former secretary of the Russian consulate in koenigsberg, has been convicted of espionage and sentenced to twelve years in state prison by the highest tribunal of the German em- pire. This convicted man escaped a death sentence only because his ac- tivitiea as a spy antedated the War. Shortly before the war broke out the German authorities learned that the Russian consulate at koenigsberg had been the center of an extensive system of espionage for some time and Eek was arrsted. The trial of the consular secretary was delayed. as ha claimed to be innocent and the public prosecutor had considerable trouble to obtain positive proofs against him.
 The Russian official even denied his guilt when confronted with indis- I.utabIe evidence At his trial he con fessed that he obtained much valuable information during 1910. 1911 and 1912 but he claimed that his offense had not been committed on German soil and he disputed the jurisdiction of the German court He said that certain plans of mobilization and other im- portant military documents were bought by him in d Russian frontier town, where they had been brought by his tools.
 For the organization of his espion- age service the convicted official re- ceived large sums of money from the Russian military authorities, but he only used a small part of the funds furnished. During the three or four years of his activity as Spy he pocketed about sl5o.o0o, although he comes from wealthy family and possesses a snug fortune.

Returning to Pine Bluff young Caldwell entered the employ of tho .Ifkanas Short Leaf Lumber company to learn the lumber business. Ho started stacking lumber in the local yards. and gradually won promotion. until. at the time of bis death, h held thc responsible position of sales agent for his company, at New York, most impo'. tapt post.

 Jt was in 1909 that Sanders Caid well. with a new diploma from Prince : ton university in his pocket, applied for job ill the yards of the local Mmher company. In less than seven years h. cl mbeI from the lumber stacker's job to one of the most inn portant places in the lumber worid- fC' the position of New York sales agent is one that requires keen busl- ness ability. coupled with complete knowledge of lumber and of lumber trade conditions and methods through ont the world. And lumber compa- nies are willing to pay big money te men who can "deliver the goods, as, sanders Caldwell vas do Ing when death terminated his career.
 Caldwelfs achievement proves tha: character is indispensable to success and that time and money expended in acquiring an education are well in vested.
 From lumber stacker to New York sales agent in six years! This was a success worth striving for.
 How many lumber stacllers havl progce essed even half so far up th> ladder of success? Now. why have they not?
