Mr.. Loveland took up his residence in
the city of Brookings, where he had
since maintained his home, being the
owner of a number of residences and

Fraternally he was a member of the
Masonic order. He was reared in the

Redfield business men last week
placed their stamp OF approval on
something which the business men of
Brookings should inaugurate; namely,
the budget fund system. AS an eXperl-
ment, the plan was followed a year
ago at RedGeld Of contributing the
first Of the year to a fund to be drawn
upon as needed to dcfray expenses Of
various enterprises of a strictly public
nature. So satisfactory has the scheme
worked out that more subscribers have
signed pledges for 1916 and 40 bust
ness men at their annual meeting or
ganized for the coming year and cleo
ed a committee Of nine to have charge
of the fund. TO carry out the plans Of
the system $4,000 has already been
pledged for 1916. Such a budget fund
in Brookings would be a great asset to-
ward promoting and bringing to the
city many conventions or other meet
of a public nature looking TO its
good.

Mrs. Thos. Gullick

Mrs. Thos. Gullick passed away at
her home, 702 Medary Ave, last Friday
at 1890 a. m. after an illnees which
had extended over several months. For
over forty years she was a resident of
Brookings county and leaves many to
mourn her demise.
Johannah Peterson was born in
Green Lake county, Wisconsin, on Sep
TENDER q, 1854 and departed this life
December 80, 1915, aged sixty-one
years and four months.
In 1875 she was united in marriage
to Thomas Gullick. Three years later
they moved to Bookings county and
resided on q farm six miles north of
this city where they made their home
until 1887, when they moved to town
and where they have since resided. Be-
fore moving to the farm north of town
they resided at the homestead owned
by her mother which is now known as
the Randi Peterson addition to the city
and college hill.
Mrs. Gullick was a woman of pleas
ing and winsome personality. She was
a kind and faithful wife and mother,
a congenial and generous n%eighbor.
She enjoyed good health during most
of her life and was always active in
her home duties. 1t was only during
u c-Et
rapidly and when the time came for
her to go she was fully resigned to her
departure.

South Dakota's production Of wealth
last year, according to the state his
torian, made a new high record. The
steady progress of South Dakota Is
perhaps best indicated by the fact that
the deposits carried by South Dakota
banks have been multiplied by three in
eleven years. 1t is to be doubted if any
other state in the Northwest has made
a record to equal that. And the best
of it all is that it is wholly reasonable
TO expect that the bank deposits will
be multiplied by three again in the
next eleven years.

The sudden death Of Governor ". S.
Hammond of Minnesota Is a shock to
South Dakotans. Governor Hammond
in a degree won popularity in this state
as much as did the late Governor John
son of Minnesota. Being a democrat,
his successful campaign against the re-
publican nominee in 1914 attracted
much attention in this state. While
be had been in service but a short
time, he was considered a success as 4
governor, and his career was in the as
cendant when cut short.

Frank Slocum were notified about six

HINTS TO UPSTATE TOWNS

Sioux Falls Press.-Towns that have
commercial clubs and other business
mems organizations can perform a
good service for themselves and for the
state as well by appointing some COM
petent person to prepare articles relat-
ing the progress of the community and
its development. There is opportunity
for enjoying profitable publicity which
many towns neglect.
What made Belle Fourche one of the
most talked-of-towns in South Dakota?
A particularly live commercial club

stories for the papers which they sim

South Dakota towns do not do the
same thing?
The Press, for one, is at the service
of the commercial clubs and business
mems organizations of the state. Not
only will we accept, but gladly wei
come, well written news of progress in
the towns of the state. The people
want to read it, and that want is what
newspapers desire to satisfy.

where, pray, in all America is there
a condition that does? We counsel
