A PROCLAMATION

Once more the cycle of the seasons

Our Country.
Long since have American citizens
grown familiar with the object and pur-
pose of Memorial Day, and each year
its advent is looked forward to with
increased affection and gratitude.
A grateful people make a gracious
land, and rightly are we proud of those
who by Their measurelcss sacrifice
made possible the position this country
now holds in the columnar rank of IA
tons and justly We do homage to the
heroic dead. BY the history of these
hallowed lives, We who live today and
they who follow US tomorrow are and
will forever be inspired to a loftier citi-
zenship and an enhanced devotion to
the principles of justice, the solidarity
of the United States, and the honor and
glory of the American nation.

"WHY FAMILIES SHOULD MOVE
TO BROOKINGS"
Marjorie Mathews
(Second Price

NSNNOAN iAGNJ
When looking for a place to locate
a home, the family must consider the
situation from many different stand
points. The children and their well
fare are usually uppermost in the
minds Of the parents and the things
that concern them seem of the great
est Importance. The financial, educa-
tional, and social conditions, there
fore, are the most serious questions to
be investigated.
Money is indispensable in our
scheme of existence and a man with
a family to support, realizes it more
than anyone else. In taking a birds
eye view of Bookings, great wealth is
not to be seen, but the opportunity to
make a comfortable income is very sp-
parent. In support of this, n might
offer the recent statements put out by
our several banks, showing the decid-
ed increase in the amount of deposits
during the past year.
Brookings is the county seat and the
center of activities for the surround
ing country. A fine court house, =.
Carnegie library, a city hall, and q
large new government building are the
best signs CT municipal prosperity that
can be presented.
The electric light and telephone sys-
tens, also the water and sewer sys.
TENS are owned and maintained by
the city. We can secure the use of
these conveniences for a moderate rate
of expenditure.
We have always been proud of our
schools and with just cause. A boy
or girl entering them has all the adj
vantages of an up to date city school
and the privileges of an accredited
high school after they have graduated.
4 college town is the place for a
give his children a higher form of edu-
cation than can be obtained in a gram
mar or high school. With such an idea
in mind, he could find no school better
fitted to give his children the right
kind of a start in life, than South Da-
kota State College.
A number of things come under the
head of social conditions. No man
wants his children reared in a town
where every other door on the main
street swings both ways. Brookings
has no saloons and we are seldom de-
graded by seeing a drunken man.
The eight churches of different de-
nominations offer a welcome to any
ore of their particular faith and the
members of each are very hospitable.
AS for a~musements, one can always
find entertainment wherever they may
be and Brookings is no exception.
Most important of all, especially for
a young person are the associations to
be found; for our friends either help
or hinder us. The parents should be
careful to place their children with
the kind of companions that will be
helpful. Brookings has many credit
marks but the biggest under
the columns headed, "the people" We
all know that it would require some
hunting to find a more agreeable group
than we associate with every day.
A trip up or down any street assures
one that it is an attractive place for
the location of a permanent residence.
Now why shouldn't a family move to
Brookings, "the city of homes?

STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 26-Opening- latest turn of events in the railway strike was a potent influence at the outset of today's operations on the stock exchange, prices showing downward trend. Reading, Union Pacific and Norfolk & Western were among the heavy rails at one point recessions and there were similar de- clines in Anaconda, Utah and Inspira- tion Coppers, while shipping issues, motors and other specialties yielded material fractions. U. S. Steel also was moderately heavy with Colo rado Fuel, Republic Steel and West inghouse. Dealings were light. Cana dian Pacific was the only investment issue to run contrary to the general list showing A point gain.
 Close.-Extreme caution character ized the weekend session on the stock exchange, the greater tension in the railway labor dispute causing in creased apprehension in speculative circles. Initial quotations were lower, to a point in leading rails and other investment issues United States Steel yielded almost a point but made full recovery, with a general hardening of prices in the final opera tfons. Trading lacked all outside 1n- terest or participation. The closing was steady. Bonds were irregular.

The estimated yield of hay and clo- yer in 1916 is 14,941, 900 tons from 7,974,O00 acres, as compared with 1O,953,000 tons from 7,875,00O acres in 1915. The average yield per acre is 1.86 tons, which is the largest on record for Canada, and the yield of 14,945,0 900 tons is the largest hay harvest gathered in Canada. The report, curiously enough, gives the condition of spring wheat on July 31 as S9, as against ss a year ago, but notes that many correspondents in Manitoba report the appearance of rust in wheat due to murky atmos- phere and extreme heat"
