T. J. STEED GETS
S7O.65 FROM STEER

That it pays for the farmer in the
ence last week of T. J. Steed, father
of the Steed brothers of Pine Bluff.
Steed, pere, is conducting a farm near
Star City, and he brought to Pine
Bluff several days ago part of the
carcass of a two and-a-half year-old
steer, weighing SIP pounds, which he
sold for $50. The hide brou ght S2065.
This made a total cash return of
S70.65, in addition to the meat pro-
vided for the Steed family's use. The
cost probably was negligible, because
the greater part of the time the steer
hunted his own living.

NEW CREAMERY BUILDING

The contract was let last week for the
construction of a one story brick build
ing for the Brookings Creamery.
The building will be constructed on
the lot just west of the Register office.
The building will be of brick construc-
ton measuring 25 by so feet with a
concrete floor and plate glass front.
The cost of the structure will be APP
proximately s 3,500.00 and will be a
modern creamery building in every re,
spect.
The contract was let to II. E. Hesse
and work will start just as soon as the
frost is out of the ground. The build
ing which was occupied by the Austin
tin shop has been sold to VIM. ROskie
and will be moved off the lot within the
next week.
This expansion Of the Brookings
Creamery Is just n of the important
plans now under way for greater ex-
pansion in the business district of the
city this coming spring. The Brook
ings Creamery will be better able to
render better service to their large list
of customers.
Mr.. Bang said that the public need
not worry about the smoke nuisance
like they do about the Brookings
Laundry as he would get the steam he
required from the city thus doing away
with the necessity Of installing n
boiler.
The expansion in the residence sec
ton of the city promises to be greater
this spring than last. A. J. Dokken
has two new houses under way nov
One on 9Th street will be completed
within ten days and the one on 3rd
street is progressing nicely and will be
completed within a month or so.

TWO CONVICTED Of
GRAND LARCENY
GOODS VALUED AT 1925 BELONG
ING TO r. c. FRYER AND
OTHERS RECOVERED
SHERIFF MAKES CAPTURE WITHIN WEEK
One Sentenced Year and Half, other
pended and 81 5000 Fine

Jesse Workman, a farmer residing
eleven miles north Of Brookings, and
Moses p. Emily, residing sever miles
north of Brookings, were arrested last
Saturday by Sheriff Miner on a charge
of burglarizing the establishment of
F. c. Fryer, and on pleas Of guilty Of
grand larceny were taken to Clark be-
fore Judge Sherwood and a peniten-
tiary sentence of one year and a half
was assessed against Workman.
Emily was sentenced to one year in the
p~enitentiary and the sentence suspend
ed on condition that he pay a fine of
$4,000 and give a bond of $4,000. In
passing the sentence the court said
that Emily should report when required
to do SO. Under this condition States
Attorney Purdy says that should Emily
break n of the laws of the state he
would be required to serve his sen
tence, an dthat the bond covers an
unlimited period of time. Workman
was taken to Sioux Falls this morning
by Sheriff MINER to begin his sentence
at the state ~penitentiary.
These two men had been under sus-
picion for some time and their arrest
and conviction has stopped n Of the
worst conditions Sheriff MINER has
had to contend with in the county. 1t
is reported that Workman has been ad.
dicted to stealing for a number of
years and his actions have caused
more than one disruption in his family.
Emily, who is a young man of less than
twenty-one years of age, has always
borne a good reputation in this com
munity. Mr.. Killing, a farmer residing
near Brookings, said that Emily had
worked for him and that he had free
run of his home for six months but had
never known or suspected him of any
thing but honest actions.
The goods recovered were valued
at about $325.00, the most of which
were found at the Workman home. In
addition to the goods taken from the
Fryer establishment, a set of harness
stolen last fall from Mr.. Sanderson, Of
Estelline, a set of harness belonging
to Earl Killing, an overcoat of Roy
Sloan and a fur lap robe of Mr.. Duff,
and a set of wagon bolster springs
taken from the Farmers COOPERATIVE
company made up the list of goods re-
covered.
In planning entry to the Fryer es-
Enlistment Workman brought a COM
binatiOn tool from home with him and
purchased an electric flash light at
KendalPs drug store on the night the
work was done.
On Monday, before going to Clark.
Workman adjusted his business affairs
and decided his property to his wife.

PLANS APPROVED

Madison Leader.-So favorable has
been the progress in the work prelim-
mary to starting actual construction
of the drainage ditch through the Mil
waukee slough, it is now believed that
it would be possible to complete the
channel this year.
County Engineer Charles Trimmer
has just received from the state en-
gineer, the official approval OF the
plans and specifications for the ditch
The county commissioners at an early
date will probably call a meeting for
the purpose Of hearing any protests
that may be filed, after which bids for
the work may be advertised for.
The ditch, which will run through
the eastern part of Lake county and
a portion of western Moody county
will reclaim 1900 acres of land. 1t
will be about nine miles long.
County Engineer Trimmer said to-
day that where feasible, the ditch will
parallel section lines. He pointed out
such a program will materially facil-
itate the construction of section line
roads. Earth removed from the ditch
may be used for grading highways
along the route, it is explained.
While the cost Of draining the big
slough is to be borne proportionately
by Lake and Moody counties, it is a
single contract. The expense of the
work ultimately be assessed against
the property benefited

"BACk TO THE FARM"

Industrial Collegian.-The play
Back to the Farm" given by the stu
dents Of the School of Agriculture last
Friday evening was one Of the best
home talent shows which has been put
on here for some time. 1t was given
without a hitch and every player seem
ed entirely at home upon the stage. A
large and attentive audience was pres
ent.
At $3.50 p. m. Professor Christen-
sens orchestra opened the program
with a selection. The orchestra also
entertained the audience between acts.
Miss Kendall, as well as the actors,
certainly deserves a great deal of
credit for producing the play in such a
fine manner.
The play in itself was humorous
showing the transition from the old
methods of farming to the new. The
scene Opered on a bright morning on
a typical old style farm, and was pre-
scented in a very realistic hammer The
hero, John Carothers. the son of a
farmer of the old school went to the
State College, supporting himself. The
second act shows him on the ev OF
graduation from college, and the last
act shows the change that he has
wrought on the old farm after applying
scientific and up-to-date methods.

the hired man, was considered by
