A NOVEL ADVERTISING STUNT

Advertising invaded the air last Fri
day when Victor Carlstrom, the await
or, at the end of his Chicago to New
York flight in his big biplane delivered
to the New York Times an advertising
contract of fifty thousand lines placed
by the Mahin Advertising Company,
of Chicago, for the B. F. Aldrich Com
pany, of Akron, Ohio. The contract
was brought from Chicago by Carl
strom in what will always be known
as the First Aerial Mail in the United
States. The aviator delivered letters
for President Wilson, Mayor Mitchell
Of New York, Thomas A. Edison, Gen
eral Leonard Wood and the Deutsch-
land, but the special consideration Of
his Deluxe Mail delivery was the
large contract with the Times.
Carlstrom left Chicago at six o'clock
Thursday morning and reached Ham
mondsport Thursday evening, where
he was forced to descend on account
of a leaking valve. He made the
flight into New York Friday morning
from Hammondport, a distance of two
hundred and fifteen miles in two hours
and twenty-one minutes a rate Of
one hundred and thirty-four miles an
hour. At the end of his trip as he
handed the Goodrich contract to the
Times representatives, under whose
auspices he made the flight, he assert
ed that a one flight trip from Chicago
to New York barring mechanical
trouble was a certainty. He was met
at Governors Island, where he landed,
by a crowd of army officers and mem
bers of the Aero Club and newspaper
representatives. General Leonard
Wood was the first to greet him.

CLEAN TEETH FOR HEALTH

A recent investigation made by the
U. S. Public Health Service in connec-
ton with studies of rural school chill
dren showed that 1913 per cen had
defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two
or more missing teeth, and only 1863
per cen had had dental attention.
Over II per cent never used a tooth
brush, 5S.2 per cent used n occasion
ally and only PA per cent used one
daily. Defective teeth reduce physical
efficiency. Dirty, suppurating, snaggle-
toothed mouths are responsible for
many cases Of heart disease, rheu-
matism, and other chronic affections.
The children are not responsible for
the neglected state of their teeth. The
ignorant and careless parent is to
blame for this conditional condition
which hampers mental and physical
growth and puts a permanent handicap
on our future citizens. School teach,
ers can and are doing much in incul.
eating habits Of personal cleanliness
on the rural school child but this will
fail of the highest accomplishment
unless parents cooperate heartily and
continuously. This is a duty which we
owe our children.

TUBERCULOSIS WEEK

December 8 to December 10 inclus-
i've has been set aside as tuberculosis
Week in the United States, according
to an announcement today by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
During this week an effort will be
made to enlist the cooperation of
every church, school, anti-tuberCulosis
and public health organization, lodge,
and working mems organization in the
United States in an active effort to
bring tuberculosis to the attention Of
the people.
Three special feature days will be
will be National Medical Examination
Day. On that day an effort will be
made to get everybody, men, women
and children, whether sick or well, to
be examined in order to find out If
they have any defects or impairments
of their bodies that need attention.
III examination IL not possible on De-
cember 6, appointments will be made
then for later examination.
December s will be Children's Health
Crusade Day. 1t is hoped that time to
launch a national organization of
Modern Health Crusaders, an associa-
ton of the children Of the United
States in the public schools, for fight
ing against tuberculosis and for better
health.
December 8 or 10 will be observed,
according to the convenience of the
churches, as tuberculosis Day. a
special sermon and a series of talking
points for ministers and others have
been prepared and will be ready for
distribution in the near future.
Last year over 1900 organizations
and institutions took part in the Tuber-
culOsis Week celebration. 1t is ex-
pected that this year this number will
be greatly increased.

CONNELLY-FOGARTY

Mr.. Jas. Connolly, of Elkton, and
Miss Kathryn Fogarty, of Bookings,
were united in marriage at the Catholic
church in this city Tuesday morning
at 9 o'clock, Rev. Father Dooley ofic-
iating. The bride was attended by her
sister, Miss Florence Fogarty, and the
groom by his brother, Mr.. Will Con
nelly.
After the ceremony a very sumptu-
Gus dinner was served the wedding
party at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Fogarty.
That evening the young couple left
for Sioux Falls and other points south
to spend their honeymoon. On their
return they will make their home for
the present in this city.
The groom is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Connolly, Of lear Elkton, and is
a young man of sterling qualities. The
bride is the second oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Fogarty and is a
young lady of high character. They
were both reared near Elkton and have
a host of friends in that locality who
will wish them a long and happy life.

COUNT n COST
sun Um ga EE "a = 1EE- CUNT

OF the many ~nationalities the Ameri-
can most of all uisdains to count the
cost. There are, to be sure, New Eng
land villages and towns where old
fashioned thrift and prudence do count
the cost, and in doing so often go to
the other extreme. But the generally
accepted type of American in inclined
to be careless and ~thoughtless when it
comes to spending his money; and of
rigid self-denial he is not a notable ex-
ample.
Naturally this tendency, or possibly
it has even become a trait, is carried
into his business, and so of late we
hear much about efficiency and costs"
Everything we possess has it's cost
price, but the trouble is we too often
fail to take into consideration what
this cost is. The large enterprises,
where the small fraction of a cent
means success or failure, have already
learned their lesson, but there still re-
main thousands upon thousands of
smaller business houses who refuse to
seriously consider COSTS" Perhaps
the most effective illustration of this
fact is hat out of a total of some
1000 business failures last year only
1000 had any recognized knowledge Of
business or made use OF a competent
eos system. There will always be
failures in spite Of any and all eau
tionary methods, but the example that
ten out of every eleven failures were
selling in ignorance of what it cost
them to do business cannot be over-
looked. A cost system in a small bust
ness does not mean a lot of red tape
and extra clerks, but it is just as essen
tial to success. Some mighty astound-
ing surprises are uncovered when an
analysis Of even a successful business
is made, and many undreamed of leaks
are exposed.

DOING A GREAT WORK

What a hole there would be left in
State College if the Y. NJ. G. A. were
suddenly removed from the campus,
The chances are that no one ever
thought about it in that way, but if
they should, they would be led to ap-
p%reciate the place which the Y. NJ. G..
A. holds as a determining factor in the
life of the students, and as an agency
for service in the everyday affairs of
the college.
The local organization has been in
existence some time. 1t began in a
very humble way and was forced to
battle against great odds, but through
perseverance on the part of the lead
ers, it has now reached a position of
great prominence and influence.
The college year 1867 has thus
far been a record year as far as the
Y. NJ. C. A. is concerned. In the first
place a delegation of men attended the
summer conference at Lake Geneva,
and returned filled with enthusiasm
for the work. Two days before the
opening of school practically every
cabinet man was on hand, meeting
new students at the trains, escOrting
them to rooms, supplying information
and serving in any way possible. This
sort of work could not help but make
firm, devoted friends for the associa-
ton.
The two nights during registration,
September 18th and 10Th, open house
parties were held, which attracted
practically every student, then in the
city. The plan of the association was
to give the young people a good time,
to encourage the new students during
their first trying days of college and 70
see that they made the right kind of
friendships on the start. Many have
since expressed their appreciation for
this effort.
Following these soclals a stag party
LIZ SoiItSC hlIhCI "oit H'ldy hiNb
proved more than successful as social
functions. These have both become
annual events and are looked forward
to with a great deal of anticipation by
both students and faculty.
The department Of boys work has
been especially active this year. On
several Saturday afternoons, the small
boys of the town were taken on hikes
to the river or out Of town points and
given an experience, which they will
never forget. To come in close con-
tact with the big fellows and to feel
the strength of their characters means
ore to the small boys than any
amount of preaching. It is the aim of
the association to give these little fell

LETTER FROM GRAND JUNCTION

j. w. Chesser, a former resident Of
Brookings, and now living at Grand
Junction, Colo, writes the Register a
welcome letter in which he says: I'VE

always look it over even before we
look at the daily paper"

The regular annual meeting of the
Brookings County Fair Association
was called to order last Saturday in
Brookings by the secretary in the alb
sence of any other officer. And there
being no quorum present, the meeting
was postponed until Saturday, Deem
Der End, at the city hall in Brooking5,
at 2Sp. m. Owing to the many politi-
cal activities, the foot ball game at
the college, and the othes things call
ing for the attention of the ~stockhold-
ers, it was decided by the directors 10
take this action in case a quorum was
not present.

lows an ideal, which will be noble and
which will draw out the manly quail
ties in them.
The office work of the Y. Nj. C. A. in
cludes so many m~ultitudinous details
that only a very few can be mentioned.
Who has not rung up that bee hive of
activity in some trying moment and re-
ceived some desired piece of informa-
ton? Here men desiring laborers and
students seeking work get together
and a mutual need is satisfied. Here
the students find rooning places or a
chance to earn their way through
school. A carefully indeXed file of
every person in college is kept, which
enables the secretary to locate them
any time of day or night with compare
lively little trouble. 1t has often been
said that the Y. NJ. c. A. office is the
heart of the college, put on occasions
it appears to be the head.
The religious meetings have been a
'''iN " VI ~" W liz o'N
rotary and men in charge. Though the
attendance has not been extremely
large on any one occasion, the interest
has been keen and the prospects for
the future exceptionally fine. Thus far
the services have been addressed by
such men as President Perisho, Prof.
! IL ri inc nrI NJ 90 ,hA
Bank of Bookings. Each gave a very
practical talk that made a definite i'm
preston upon the audience. The Y. NJ.
c. A. wishes to extend a special invita-
ton to the men of Brookings to attend
these meetings, which are held each
Tuesday evening and which will be
well worth the time spent in them.
The lecture course, it is believed,
will be the best this year that it has
pensive. Nothing has beer left undone
to make it the best in the history of
the course. 1t consists Of the Bohumir,
Kryl Co, Hon. Henderson Martin,
Sibyl Sammis-MacDermid and James
G. MacDermid, Frank J. Cannon and
Wilbur Luther Gibson. The first mum.
Der, which was given Friday night,
November 3rd, certainly proved an ad-
yertisement for the latter numbers.
Several years ago-and not very
many cither-there was strong opposi-
ton 10 the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, which at llmes threatened
to drive it entirely out of the commun-
ity; but those times have passed.
Among the students on the hill a
strong sentiment has arisen favorable
to the association and its work. This
year especially there has been a spirit
of helpful cooperation among the
freshmen, for practically every one has
either joined or has expressed his sym
pathy with the work, which means
much to the future success Of the asso-
citation.
