Most of the papers were too brief, too
general, and too inaccurate to accom-
plish this.
If however the contest itself did not
accomplish what was desired, indirect
ly something worth while was gained.
Several old citizens were interested
and made contributions of pictures of
old time Brookings. One of the school
girls got a picture from VIM. Murphy
of the old court house, with 2 group
of the officers upon the front steps.
Chas. Poole presented two framed
pictures, one of Brookings in 1888 look
ing northeast from the station, the
other of the same date, Williams street
looking east. both are of great interest
and historic value.
James Brooke sent in a half dozen
pictures of about the same date, pic
lures of buildings. The north building
at the college. while some of the scat
folding was still in place; the central
school house, before the addition was
made; the Presbyterian parsonage;
the houses of ID. J. Darrow, w. II. Cor
nell. and the house now owned by Ed.
Harte: another, the house of w. S.
Frost on Sixth street is of especial in
tercst as the college buildings are in
plain sight across the prairie. Another
picture presented by Prof. Schlatter
shows part of the college farm.

some time. 1t seemed best then to de-
fer the announcement until the begin
ming of the new school year, more es-
pecially as the papers did no. meet the
requirements. This failure was proc
ably due in part to a misunderstanding
cf what was wanted and ia part to the
youth of those who entered the con-
test,
The idea was to secure material that
should preserve permanently the his
tory of our town. To thGt end abso-
lutte accuracy and attention to detail
are necessary. For example if it be
the history of one of the churches that
is undertaken, the paper must furnish
the m of persons who were the
prime movers at the different times in
aarryiug on the work of the church.

ent buildings with the contractors and
cost, and all such matters of hum
drum detail together with lively aC-
cunts of any incidents in the history

WET ORGANIZATION ACTIVE

dangers Of the present wet and dry
campaign from the standpoint of the
dry forces is the tendency to apathy
and overconfdence. according to the
statement OF the state Anti-Saloon
League officials here. There are a
half dozen or more state organizers at
work in an effort to organize each
county and voting precinct in the
state. These men report, ii is said,
that many Of the leading temperance
workers OF the state fail or refuse to
manifest any interest in these or.

state is sure to vote dry in November
and that it is unnecessary to expend
so much time and effort in organizing

quarters here that such an attitude on
the part Of the friends Of prohibition
would be suicidal to the prohibition
cause in the fall. They say that the

Birth of a Nation Coming to Boise

Many of the critics who have been

lief that d. w. Griffith has put over

ment starting on Monday, April 10th,
Matinee daily 2:15; evening Sis.
For many years American dramat-
lists wrote able plays of particular
localities, cities or states, ranging
from Alabama" to the Henrietta
and from Way Down East" TO the
Great Divide" But no one man
seemed to grasp the whole spirit and
genius of America until David Wark
Griffith picked a suggestion for his
theme out of Dixon's The Leopard S
Spots" and the "Clansman" and
started to develop it
The result of Mr. Griffith's efforts
is a new and stupendous art for
which no adequate name has yet
been found. The Birth OF Nation''
combines spectacle, romance, domes-
tic drama, comedy, tragedy, music,
and mechanical effects into harmon

Death Of Grandfather WhItlock.

John w. Whitlock, the subject of
this obituary, was born in Halifax
County, Virginia. Feb 5, 1893, and
died in Meridian, Idaho April 1916,
being 83 years, months and DAYS
old.
He moved with his parents TO Will
son ounty, Tenn, when he was a
child where he grew 20 manhood and
in which place he married Miss Mary
Amanda Ricketts,, who preceded him
to the other world two and a half
years. To this union there was born
s sons and one daughter. Two OF
the sons died in infancy and one
son died after attaining maturity.
leaving to mourn his departure five
sons and one daughter--Geo W.
and John f. of Meridian; James l..
and Henry L. of Centralia, III; Thorn
as M. of lakewood, Mo, and Mrs. Su-
san A. Caldwell, of Dix, III. With
these there are many relatives and
a large circle of friends who keenly
appreciate their loss.
Mr.. Whitlock volunteered his SER
vice In the civil war according to his
honest conviction, but was soon at
terward honorably discharged thru
his i'll health. Tho he lived to see
that he enlisted on the wrong side OF
the great national issue, yet, like all
of his class, in his willingness to
serve he but manifested a patriotic
loyalty and a worthy citizenship
principle.
His nobleness of character was also
evidenced in his attitude toward the
Christian faith. In his early man
hood he united with the Christian
church of the Methodist denomina-
ton and on to the end of his life he
served the Christian cause faithfully
and died in the assurance of immor-
tality and triumphant in the Christ
ian faith.
Warrior sof faith, we'll donei
Victory thou hast achieved.
The compensation thou has won
From earthly strife relieved.
Now take thy rest with those
Who in the battles fought;
And evermore in bliss repose.
Sharing the victor's lot.

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous, and the result is neural
gia. stiff neck, sore muscles, or some
times an attack OF rheumatism In
such cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It
stimulates circulation to the sore and
painful part. The blood flows freely
and in short time the stiffness and
pain leaves. Those suffering from
neuralgia, or neuralgia headache will
find one or two applications of Sloana
Liniment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for neuritis too.
