No Consideration Yet
of Successor to HUGHES

WASHINGTON. June 10.-President
Wilson has not yet began consideration
of a successor to Justice Hughes on the
supreme bench. Because of his recent
survey of available lawyers prior to the
appointment of Justice Brandeis it was
said at the White House tonight IT
would be easy for the president to make
up his mind quickly. but as the supreme
court recesses Monday until October it
was thought likely he would not hurry
i'm making a choice.
Justice Hughes successor will be the
third member of the court named by
President Wilson. The resignation to-
day leaves five Republicans and three
Democrats on the court. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Wilson will appoint Demo
crat.

WHY FAMILIES SHOULD MOVE TO
BROOkINGS
Marshall Knappen
Third Price

The first reason families should
move to Brookings is the great educa-
tional facilities offered by Bookings.
A graduate from Brookings high school
can enter any college or university in
tf, country, except the Government
Army and Navy, without examinations
of any kind. There is a good assert
ment of courses in the high school in
Guiding manual training, sewing and
cooking. Besides this the South Da-
kota State College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts is located in Bookings.
This offers many courses besides agri-
culture. Among these are music, type
writing. civil, mechanical and e~lactri-
cal engineering, pharmacy and home
economics.
Another reason for coming to Brook.
ings is the large number of tirst-class
stores located in the city. All the
stores carry a good line of goods. The
proprietors are progressive and give
good service. One must be very par,
ii ular indeed who is not suited by the
stores in Brookings.
Also Brookings has much to offer in
the way of recreation. In the winter
there is a skating rink in the town or
one can go to one of the lakes near
the city if he prefers. In the summer
the lakes afford all kinds of summer
water sports, such as fishing, bathing
and boating. The roads to and from
the city are good, making Bookings
an ideal place for a man with an a, TO-
mobile. There are also lectures under
the auspices of the Young Mems Chris.
tian Association in the winter n a
first rate Chautauqua in the summer.
The streets are lined with fine shade
trees making it easy to keep cool in
the summer.
Brookings possesses all the modern
conveLiences. The city owns the
water system, the telephone system,
the electric light plant, the heating
plant and the W system. All are
efficiently managed and the service is
unusually good.
Brookings has one railroad, the Chi
cago & North Western, and a stub line

FORMER RESIDENT PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Nellie Holiday, a sister of Mrs.
John w. Holiday, of this city. died
sunday afternoon, following a long
siege of illness at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Dorr Hushaw, in Water
town. She was in her ffty-third year.
Mrs. Holiday is survived by The fol
lowing children: Mrs. B. J.. Younken

panied the remains from Watertown to

Hushaw. and Mrs. John w. Holiday
also went to Rock Rapids. The fu
neral was held Wednesday afternoon
from the Methodist church. Mrs. Hol
liday resided in BroCkings up until
about six years ago.

to Watertown. Good connections are
made with Minneapolis, st. Paul, and
Chicago. The Luce Electric Short
Line is also guaranteed for Brookings
and will soon enter the city. This un.
doubtedly will add much to the pros
perity and accessibility of the town.
The climate is very pleasant. The
air is dry and makes the climate more
temperate. Because the air is dry one
does not feel warm in summer nor
feel the cold in winter. There are no
swamps near Bookings.
And lastly and greatest of all fam
lilies should move to Bookings because
it is a clean town. Brookings is a city
Of homes in every respect. There are
no saloons in Brookings, there have
been none for thirty years and in all
probability there never will be. There
are eight thriving churches in Brook
ings which help to make the moral
tone what ii is. The citizens of Brook
ings are good people to associate with.
They are progressive, clean and intel.
ligent. Families should move to
Bookings because ii is the best town
in the state for them to come to and
if they do they will feel that they have
made no mistake.

TO AUTO OWNERS AND DRIVERS

The Fair Association is again com
PEELED to close the use Of the race track
To automobiles. After the late rains
~trouehtless drivers have insisted on
racing around the track, tearing holes,
digging ruts and otherwise damaging
the surface. The damage is great and
win take time and money to repair.
and as it seems that the track cannot
be used with Judgment BY many iriv-
ers. all will have to lose its Use fer the
tine being. A driving track is not
built for the hard usage of ?utDm bile
racing. its surface is different from
that of 81 cedways. and driving on il
faster than fifteen to twenty miles an
hour cuts and ruts ii. The pleasure
drivers of Bookings do not use the
track. it is only those who want to de
vclope Speed and as ii is not meant FOR
that purpose, We viii have to forbid its
to them. The Fair Association
has property rights which others must
respect. 1t is time that the grounds
should be considered a public trust in
stead of a place for unbrillC' license.
The laws of the state give special pro
lection to Fair Grounds and if the law
breaking citizens Of BrcOkin2s Will not
listen to a request, then the law must
be called upon to enforce the rights of
the many citizens and farmers who are
the stockholders Of the Fair AssOcia-
ton.
For all legitimate, worthy occasions,
fer the public good, the Fair AssoCia-
ton offers the use Of the grounds. Pic
mics. games. meets, and exhibitions are
always welcomed, but the track, the
buildings and all the properly must be
used ~decently and not damaged.
