make it a winner. The same is true in
the cattle division and the new prem.
iums added this year mean two hun.
dred dollars more to the farmers of
Bookings county.
The plans are completed for the
finishing of the woman's building and
the contract will be let in a short time.
This means a second floor with ample
s~tairways. and will increase the ex.
hibition space in the building two
thirds.
A firm belief in the ability of Brook,

state, and that every progressive farm
err and up-to-date citizen will appreciate
these added improvements, impels the
board of directors to remind you that
the county fair is your fair, your ex-
hibits are what have made it the best
in the state and in 1916 we want to
demonstrate that without any excep-
ton, that this county can make the
largest and finest showing Of any year

The secretary again asks for any
suggestions that the people of Brook

Make your plans early for a big ex-
hibit at the county fair on September

WELL REPRESENTED AT HURON

The entire Y. w. G. A. cabinet of
South Dakota State College, accom-.
panied by Miss Dilla Wimple, Miss
Marguerite Catlett, and Miss Norma
Kidd went to Huron Saturday morn.
ing to attend the Cabinet Council for
the student associations of South Da-
kota.
Forty-two delegates were present,
representing seven South Dakota
schools and the Normal school of
Glendale, N. d.
The convention owes most of its
success to the very efficient way in
which 1T was conducted by its leaders,
Miss Adelia Dodge and Miss Josephine
Lynch of Minneapolis, and Miss Nor.
ma Kidd and Miss Marguerite Catlett,
of Bookings.
On Sunday afternoon Miss Dilla
Wimple spoke to the girls on Rural
community service" and in the even,
ing President Gage addressed them
his subject being, Responsibility OF
the individual cabinet member to the
College" All the meetings were of
great interest.
The council adjourned at 400 D. m.
Monday, and the %Brookings delegation
returned that evening.

THE HOLY WEEK SERVICES

The first step has been taken toward
the success Of the services during
Holy Week. The business men have
willingly done the first thing necessary
and have practically unanimously
agreed to close their stores for half an
hour at noon of those days. The COM
mittee is doing all in their power to
fulfill their duty to ensure a success
full week Of services. But one thing
remains, and that is for the attend
ance. This responsibility does not rest
on the committee alone, or on the bust
ness men alone, but on the whole COM
munity. All the efforts that have so
far been made are but preliminary.
The final effort must be made in secur-
ing a large attendance. The MONDAY
service will be in the Fad Theatre at
1890. With very little effort this
theatre ought to be crowded for this
short twenty minute service. Its sue
cess will depend upon the crowd. In
the evening the services will be held in
the Baptist church at eight o'clock. To
these services should come a large
number also.
Holy Week was the last week of the
earthly life of Jesus Christ. Is it not
fitting that for a few moments On the
four DAYS of that week we should re-
member what He did for us and also
what VIC are doing for Him? Did you
ever stop to think what life would
mean without the Christian Gospel?
Did you ever stop to think how much
you were doing to help or to hinder
the work Jesus Christ caIne to do?
as it nothing to you, all We that pass
by" "He that is not with Me Is
against Me-" MANY a nan measures
the value of Christianity by his answer
to the question. What has Christianity
done for me?" The answer to that
question depends upon the answe he
makes to another one, What have I
done for Jesus Christi" Your personal
interest and attendance at these SER
vices Is a chance to do something for
Him. What Are You Going To Do?

The Price Of Gasoline
Washington is firmly convinced that
the Standard Oil Company might, if it
close, prevent the constant rise in the
price of gasoline. One suggestion is
that an embargo be placed upon gaso-
line, thereby shutting off the European
market. In view Of the Governments
position in relation to the shipment of
all other kinds of supplies to the war
countries, it is not likely that attempts
to regulate the price of gasoline will be
along the embargo route. Another
legislative proposal favors the Selling
of the properties of the Standard Oil.
Another Congressman thinks the situa-
ton might be saved if the Interior De-
partment would get busy and dig a lot
of oil wells throughout the country.
The automobile manufacturers are anx-
ious that something drastic be done, as
the price of gasoline will interfere
with the sale of their 1916 machines.
Fighting Christians Wanted
Billy Sunday visited Washington a
few days ago and in his sermon de-
clared that every generation needs a
new type of Christian. He said that
the present need is "a lot of Christians
who are not afraid to go on the war
path" Sunday said, "You talk about
the moral equivalent for war, why you
a develop more spine and backbone
fighting the devil, on your own block
than you can in a year fighting in Eu-
rope" He made the plea for the incar-
nation of righteous wrath and pointed
out the necessity for people who would
fight for truth in uprooting the moral
defects of the communities" Then he
attacked what he called ~"spineless,
weak-minded, flabby-cheeked, heavy
jowled, two-by-four, milk and water
Christians" An attempt was made to
cur the reverend gentleman for a
religious campaign in Washington, but
it was found that he is booked ahead
for every day until the spring of 1918.
The Metric System
Latin American countries have en-
phasized the difficulty of doing bust
ness with the United States, because Of
the different standards in weights and
measures, and in difficulties in the ex-
change of money. American bankers
have been going into southern coun-
tries within the last two or three years,
and it is thought that the visit of Sec
rotary McAdoo to the southern regions
will help to straighten out the ~tangles
in the financial relationship with the
people to the south. The Metric sys-
TEN has been adopted in the foreign
trade by European countries, and the
Pan-American interests in the National
Capital are ~endeavoring to influence
American business men to conduct
their relations with South and Central
America upon that basis.

KINGS RUSTLtRS TO
MEET THURSDAY MIGHT
Invite BrOtherhOOds Of Other Churches
to Confer on Political Conditions at
VI. f. Church.

A meeting called by the Kings Rust
lers of the Methodist church to meet
at the church parlors Thursday even
ing at o'clock for the purpose of dis
cussing political conditions has Great
ed considerable stir among those in
terested in politics. The announce
ment of this meeting was read Sunday
at the Presbyterian church by Dr.
Shepherd, to whom a note to that ef-
feet was delivered by Arthur e. Sill
fer, who received it from Boyd H. Full
Ter, who in turn got it from F. p. Os-
born in behalf of the Hustlers. Ask
ed in regard to the character of the
meeting over the telephone by a
TIMES representative, Mr. Osborn
said today that it was intended to dis
cuss the question of how it would be
deemed best to vote. Asked ia this
had reference to the primary or to the
general election Mr. Osborn said that
he supposed that it referred to both.
HI said that invitations had been sent
to the brotherhoods of the Baptist and
other churches to meet with them if
desired The notice was not read at
the Baptist church or at the Christian
church. H. G. Gettert, who is active
in Baptist work, said that he had not
heard of the meeting and j. w. Beau
champ, who teaches a Sunday school
class in the Christian church, said
that he had received no information
in regard to it. e. L. Ashton also de-
clared that not only had no announce
ment been made at the Methodist
church, but added that he knew moth
ing about the matter and only hearC
of it when asked on the street.
Mr.. Fuller said that he had no de,
finite information relative to the gath
ering or its purpose, but that he as
sumed that the idea was to get the
members of the church brotherhoods
not the churches as such, interested
in discussing political conditions Th'
brotherhoods were struggling fol
what was right and he assumed tina
the purpose was to get them to under
stand one another. However, he add
ed that he had no definite informa
tion to that effect, but was simply in
ferring such to be the case, judginl
from conditions as they exist.

FORGFR DEPOSITS
NOTES AND SHIPS
Fails To Attempt To Realize On
The Products of His Pen
ONE NOTE ON L. Z. EDUMNDSON, A
WELL KNOWN SALMON FARMER.
Other Note ON Unknown Person Left
For Collection For Year, the De-
positOr Fails to Show Up.

Two mysterious forged notes made
out to Frank Hafer, one of them bear
ing the signature 81. E. Edmundson,"
and left in the Idaho State bank a
year ago for collection, have been
shown up in their true light this
week, but the unknown depositor has
not turned up, nor has he made any
effort to realize on the clever forger-
les.
The story in regard to the Edmund
son note was told to County Attorney
J. E. Davies by that gentleman sub
stantially as follows: On August %,
1916, he received a notice from the
Idaho State bank that his note for
$500 made in behalf of Frank Hafer
on August %, 1915, payable in twelve
months, was due. Mr. Edmundson
hastened to the bank and was shown
the note, which made out on the regu-
lar form used by the bank and having
the words "Hollister, Idaho," substi-
tuted for "Twin Falls, Idaho" The
note was in regular form and the sig
nature appeared to be genuine, but
Mr.. Edmundson at once denied all
knowledge of the note which he pro-
nounced as forgery and at once laid
the matter before the county attorney.
1t is said that about the same time,
someone had deposited for collection
another note drawn against a person
unknown to anyone here, also made in
favor of Frank Hafer. A notice to
the other person was returned unde-
liyered. After notices that the notes
were due had been sent out, Mr.. Hafer
happened into the bank on business
and was informed that notices had
been sent out requesting the payment
of the notes which he had deposited
He at once, it is said, declared that he
had deposited no such notes for col
lection 1t was thought that they
must have been left by some other
person of the same name with clerk
, who did not know Mr.. Hafer.
The theory of the county attorney is
that the forger intended to return la
ter and ask for a loan of a 800 ol
$3.50, offering the notes for security
and that he either got cold feet" ol
that he was frightened off for some
/ other reason.
