A very unusual practice has been
brought to light by the receipt of a
letter this week by DR.. B.. B. Bracket,
professor of electrical engineering at
State College, from the Westinghouse
Electric & Manufacturing company, Of
Pittsburg. Pa, concerning the young
men of State College who went with
the guard to Redfeld. The letter says
that positions will be waiting for the
young men who had received appoint
ments with the company, but had not
yet taken up their work, when their
services are needed no longer in the
guard or army.

FARMERS WANT GOOD ROADS

The statement hat the farmers do
not want good roads and will not
tsand for the cost Of building good
roads has made the rounds and has
been accepted by some as the truth
but the Brookings County Pomona
Grange destroys this assumption very
effectively by the passage of a resOlu
ton at a session of the county grange
in this city June q. This body OF
progressive men not only recommend
that good roads be built but they take
the commissioners to task by calling
to attention the existence of a fund
which would go a long way, according
to general opinion, toward filling UP
the holes and bad places in the roads,
The resolution reads as follows:
We believe it to be the desire OF
every progressive farmer in Brookings
county that our roads should be kept
in a good condition as far as possible,

MOVEMENT ON TO
GRAVEL STREETS
CITY COUNCIL FAvORS SYSTEM
OF CRAWLING ON MAIN
TRAVELLED STREETS
PETITION ASKS FOR SIX MILES GRAVEL
Opinion Prevails improvements Neces-
sary to Growth Of Business
Conditions

A petition bearing the names of
over 100 BroOkings residents was pre-
scented to the City Council Monday
night at the regular meeting by Presi-
dent Culhane, of the Commercial Club,
asking that the city build and gravel
six miles of model grade on the main
roads leading from the city limits to
the business section of Brookings.
The council almost to a man express
ed themselves in favor of the system
of g%raveling the city streets and every
thing indicated they realize tho need
of better roads leading to the business
center Of the city and that they would
favor the construction of as many
miles of graveled streets as possible.
In view of the fact that the city has no
available funds for road purposes at
this time the matter was referred to
the committee on streets for investiga-
ton and report. While the council in
Dictated a willingness to improve the
streets by graveling at the same time
they indicated a general expression
from the taxpayers would be %appreciat-
ed.
The general opinion, in addition to
that expressed in the petition, is that
Bookings streets should be improved
and that any work done should be of a
permanent nature.
DR.. A. w. Hyde, president of the
city board of health, appeared before
the council and called attention to the
condition of the city water and that
of a number of wells. The council
left the matter to DR.. Hyde for his at
tention and accordingly he has issued
a warning to the people of Brookings
to boil all drinking water until a more
thorough examination has been made
after the water mains have been
flushed.
The council transacted little other
business than the regular routine mat
ters.
'~ NNAt''h fiN'NiN'" Nh' D'iiNi
asking for street and Dad improve
ments is as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, believe that
every interest of our city is greatly suf-
fering because many Of the main roads
leading into Brookings are impossible
after each rain for want of good grade,

1--WE believe that if the City of
Brookings would build six miles of
model road and cover it with gravel
that many people in the surrounding
country would soon see the benefit Of a
strictly good gravel road and would
soon follow suit.
Hence, we respectfully request that
the City Council build and gravel at
least six miles of model grade on the
main roads Of the corporation leading
from the residence portion to the outer
edge of the city limits; said roads to
be built this season if it is possible to
get available money, otherwise to be
built next season.
We also request that the City Coun-
Gil instruct the street commissioners to
drag a mile or two beyond the city
limits on the main roads leading into
Brookings whenever those roads need
dragging"

BOOKINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA, JULY 6 1915

cIulltO from lue state lOlleSt at
Bookings, that Cleveland Abbott was
anything else than white-white
through and through with the possible
exception of his skin, and the Company
c boys knew him so well, knew his
sterling loyal qualities underneath, that
the skin was never taken into consider
alton.
1t was one of the sad incidents Of
this mobilization camp, and there are
many others, when Abbott We reject
ed by the order of the War depart
ment that only members of the eau
casian and Indian races could be mus
tered into the federal service here.
There was no yellow" streak in
him, and he wanted his comrades to
know it.
He was ready to take the new oath
of fealty to the President.
Then came the order from the War
department.
1t was a hard blow, and Abbott broke
down under it and cried in his tent as
only a strong man can. Nor were his
the only wet eyes in Comany C. The
comforting overtures of his comrades
somewhat mitigated the wound, but
there was still the feeling that he had
been rejected by his country without a
chance.
The officers of the regiment, too, felt
the blow.
1t was just one of the fortunes of
war, and Abbott left for his home at
WATERFOWL, going later TO Brookings
where he will work during the summer
and in the fall he will go to Tuskegee,
Alabama, where he will take up his
work as head of the dairy department
of Tuskegee Institute. Abbott was
graduated from State College last
month and from the time he took up
his work in the college he made an
enviable record in class, as well as
athletic work. He is conscientious
and a hard worker and he will be
heard from with records just as good
as those made at State College.
The boys of Company c and the
Fourth Regiment Band highly appre-
ciate the action of the Commercial
Club in sending them $4,000 for use of
the company and band. The following
letter was received by President Cul-
hane:
The members of c Company join
me in thanking you for the very liberal
donation you have given us. We GER
tainly appreciate the fact that the peo-
pie of Brookings are behind us. We
will do our best to make a showing so
that the people of Brookings can read
lily see that their interest is not in
vain. Company c can compliment
itself on the class of men that they
have. We had our physical examina-
tons June 81 and We're complimented
upon the quality of our men. The med
ical authorities told us that we had
the ~cleanest bunch in the regiment,
which certainly is something to be
proud of. We hope to maintain this
standard and keep up to u establish
ed record. The boys are feeling well.
All the men seem to be contented and
an occasional boost puts new spirit
into them.
Again thanking you for the COM
pany and myself, l am,
Very truly yours,
c. P. Evers, Capt,
Commanding Company c."

A MIRACLE GAM

There is a tide in the affairs of
mem" just one of those tides turn
ed an almost sure defeat into victory
Friday afternoon Wien B~rookings
struggled through eight innings, with
the home rooters down in the mouth
and defeated the fast Bruce team in
the last half of the ninth by a score
OF 4 to 8.
The playing on the part of the
Brookings boys bordered on the verge
of disgust at times and at critical mo
ments bone head" plays only served
to make matters worse.
One faithful Brookings fan felt the
Geld chills race up and down his spine,
he gasped fol air and said:
Press your hand upon my dome
My little mind is leaving home"
when Brookings went up in the all

ent. When it looked as though all
chances of even forestalling a shut
out were gone Brookings boys brave
ly took their last bat and with some
cool work started the merry-go'round
by hitting the Bruce pitcher all over
the field and filling up the bases. With
some good batting two men were
brought in. The once shouting aggre
cation of Bruce rooters was forever
silenced and Brookings rOoters took
up the chorus. Bedlam ruled on the
part of Brookings and the Bruce fol,
lowers were conspicuous for their ex'
IRENE silence. Two more men We're
run in, thus making the score 4 to B
in favor of Brookings.
The Bruce team put up an excellent
fight and played n of the best games
here this season. The boys worked
together in big league fashion and
with the excellent pitching of Ellison
they were hard to defeat. "Gingles'
Hewitt was on hand to strengthen the
pitching staff. He was placed in the
box after Brookings had run in two
men but he couldn't save the day.
Brookings outield lineup was new
and on account of some of the team
members being called to Redfield
changes placed them at odds. Their
fielding was good but just a bit light
on pinch hitting. With all that might
be said against some of their tactics
they have been, and are, giving Brook
ings fans excellent baseball. 1t takes
mighty good playing to win a game as
far lost as Fridays.

Watertown Public Opinion:-Miss
Hazel Clare Grinols and Andrew w.
Palm, agent of the Codington County
Agricultural Extension association,
We're married at high noon Wednes-
day at Moritz, S. d. The marriage
came as a surprise to many of the
young couples friends. The ceremony
was a quiet affair, attended only by
relatives and very close friends of
Miss Grinols and Mr.. Palm. The cere-
mony was performed by the bride
groom's father who is q Baptist min
lister of Lake Norden.
Moritz was chosen as the scene Of
the wedding, due to the fact that Miss
Grinols' home is near that place. She
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis
J. Grinols. Her father is a wealthy
a-ncher and owns and operates a
large beautiful stock farm a short dis,
lance from Moritz. Miss Grinols her.
self has been engaged as a teacher at
Breckenridge for the last year.
Friends say the romance that QUINN
ated in the marriage Wednesday, start
ed at State College in Brookings a few
years ago., where both Mr.. Palm and
Miss GrinOls received their college
training. Both were graduated from
thic ;,cyifttjnp n fau- x-Oa We nvn Nv
Palm from a course fitting him for
agricultural extension work and Miss
Grinols from one of the regular
courses of the college.
Their personalities, character and
abilities have won many friends for
both these young people. In the few
years Mr.. Palm has made Watertown
the headquarters for his work, he has
come to be known by his first name
to nearly every business man in the
city and farmer in the county. A
pioneer in the better farming move
ment in South Dakota, he has made
good in this great line of endeavor and
now has a leading place among scores
of fellow workers who have been in
terested to take up the movement in a
larger field. Meanwhile Mr.. Palm has
led in the development of an agricul-
tural association that is one of the
most powerful influences for progress
in the county and as a result a per
manent place for his services has been
made.
Miss Grinols is a charming young
lady who has the well wishes of all
who know her.
Immediately after the bridal dinner
at the brides home near Moritz Wed.
nesday noon, Mr.. and Mrs. Palm de,
parted for a delightful honeymoon trip
by automobile. They intend to our
Yellowstone National park and other
western places of scenic beauty. They
took a small auto ten and a full camp
equipment, and when not convenient
to reach a place to remain over night
they will be in position to spend the
night in the open. Warm weather and
one of the most beautiful seasons of
the year will favor their tour.
A definite time for the return of the
happy couple is not set, but they ex.
pect to be away about three weeks. On
their return they will make their home
in WatertOwn.

NEW REGIMENT S. D.. N. G.

by returned from a visit to Camp Hag-
man, Redfeld, Saturday. where he
spent two days visiting the camp and
one day accompanying Governor
Byrne's party to Sioux Falls. where
they took part in the big preparedness
parade Friday.
With reference to the organization
Of a new regiment Of the National
Guard, of which Col. Englesby is to be
in command, in an interview with
Public Opinion, he said:
EnoIesby Appointed Colonel
Governor Byrne has appointed me

Fortress Monroe, Va. Captain Fuller
is a son of the late Judge Fuller, of the
state supreme court, and was a cap
tain in the LIST South Dakota Volun-

nothing has been decided as to the

May Be Volunteer Regiment
The new regiment will be made up
of officers and men who will agree to
volunteer in a body in case the rresi-
dent calls for volunteers. In the mean
time they will continue their existence
as a National Guard regiment. This is
the understanding had with the gov
ernor and adjutant general.
THE new federal National Guard
law went into effect last Saturday. I'm
der this law the federal government
has more control over the militia than
heretofore. The officers are commits
stoned by the governor but they are
subject to mental and physical examin-
alton by the regular army authorities
before they are accepted. The federal
government regulates the number of
national guardsmen each state may
have and holds the organization entire
ly within it's own control after it's or

regiment that will be unsurpassed In
the entire country, as We have plenty
