LAUNDRY CHANGES HANDS

The steam laundry in this city, con
Quoted for some time by Alex. A. Nc
Cormick, has passed into the owner
ship of f. NJ. Ellis this last week by
means of the sale of a farm in North
DAKOTA to Mr.. Mccormick. The farm
is situated near Underwood and is con-
sidered one of the incest pieces of
land in that part of the country, and
Mr.. Mccormick considers that he has
made a very %judicious trade. M. Ellis
has taken possession of the laundry
and is commencing to make some al
terations to bring the business into
the condition that he desires to run it
in the future. To do this he has or
ard will make the alterations and ad-
ditions needed to accommodate this ed
ded equipment.
Roy Atkins, who was at one time in
charge of the operation of the laundry,
has been employed to take charge Of
the work and it Is the intention of Mr..
Ellis to increase the equipment and
force so that the laundry will be able
to take care of all kinds and classes
of work and return them in the finest
condition. Good work. prompt service
and no credit, are the watch words
that have been adopted and they all
mean much both to the laundry and
the customer. We speak for this new
management the patronage Of the en-
tire community.

BIG INSTITUTE
NOW IN PROGRESS
JOINT TEACHERS INSTITUTE OF
SIX COUNTIES DRAWS OUT
LARGE ATTENDANCE
NOTED EDUCATORS ARE ON THE PROGRAM
AssembIage at State College Having
One Of The Finest Meetings
Possible.

The joint teachers institute for
Moody, Kingsbury. Hamlin, Miner.
Codington and %Brookings counties
started its sessions on Monday of this
week. A large number of teachers
registered that day and they have been
coming in every day since. The reg
istration for the institute was three
hundred and fifty last night at closing
time, and for the summer school was
one hundred and twenty-five. While
the number Of teachers present Is not
as large now as it was for the full
session of last year, it is the expect
alton Of the superintendent in charge
that it will continue to increase every
day. Many of the older and more ex-
perienced teachers do not have to at
tend the full session and they will be
here in numbers next week. The at
tendance at the summer school is as
large as last year at this time, and will
no doubt run up later to a higher
figure.
All the meetings so far have been
highly enjoyable and to the general
meetings named below an invitation
is extended to all who may be interest
ed. This evening will be a general
reception to all the visitors at the col
lege.
Friday afternoon and evening Miss
Mabel Carney, Minnesota State De-
partment of Education, will speak.
Saturday afternoon Prof. f. S. Hyer,
Wisconsin State Normal, will deliver
a patriotic address.
Next week, DR.. G.. ID. Strayer, of
Columbia University, will speak as fol
morning at 10, afternoon and evening,
Wednesday afternoon, Thursday after
DR.. Strayer is a big man mentally and
his addresses are features
President Perisho will speak every
morning at 10 on current events, and
on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday
evening there will be a big mass meet
ing of the State Grange with Governor
Norbeck ard DR.. Perisho as the speak
ers, and on Friday evening, the last
meeting, Prof. f. T.. Brown will give
one of his splendid and popular pro
grams of readings and recitations.
The county superintendent in
charge and the faculty of the state
college are doing all i'll their power to
make this an excellent institute ses-
sion, and from all that we can learn
they are making their efforts win out.
People are ~requesed not to forget the
Summer School which will continue on
for another month.

CIRCUIT COURT

After the naturalization proceedings
reported in the issue of last week, the
circuit court for this county, now in
session, took up the trial Of jury
cases. The first one tried was that Of
Ehlers & Barnwell against Mann,
where the plaintiffs sued to recover
a commission for the sale of real es-
tate. The evidence seemed to point
to the fact that plaintiffs had already
received a commission from one party
to the sale and SO could not recover
from the other. So the jury found for
the defendant. This case occupied all
of Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday was given to
the trial of D. w. Reeves VS.. the Ma
tional Fire Insurance Co., where the
plaintiff sought to recover the amount
Of damage that he thought was due
him under a hail loss. After the loss
the palintiff went away and left two
neighbors to settle with the adjuster
if he came. The adjuster came and
settled through one of the parties, but
did not allow the amount that Reeves
thought "a coming to him. The jury
agreed with him and gave him judge
ment against the company.
On Saturday the case of Lamberg
VS.. Henry, Chris and Ansel Moen was
tried, being for the possession of stock
that had been taken up as trespassing.
The jury found that the defendants
had no possession of the real estate
that had been trespassed upon, so had
no right to hold the stock, and render
ed a verdict for plaintiff. The same
day the divorce case of Ward VS.. Ward
was tried and after hearing some evil
dence the court continued the case
until Monday to hear another wit
ness. The case of Wick & Co. VS.. J..
E. Rude, was continued or the pay
ments of terms by the defendant.

LUTHERANS RETURN HOME

The large delegation of Lutherans,
who e from here last week to at
tend the great consolidation meeting
of the different church bodies at ST.
Paul, have all returned home and all
report a most enjoyable as well as
profitable time.
In this joining together of three
branches of the Lutheran church is
created the Norwegian Lutheran
Church of America with a membership
of 500, 500, made up as follows: United
Norwegian Church 171,657, Norwegian
Synod 98,18S and Hauge Synod 39.743.
(These figures taken from the New
York World almanac of 1919 At the
same time ver five million dollars
worth of church educational property
is merged under one board. The new
church will have 1904 places of wor-
ship and will be ministered to by L.
27S pastors. Truly this setting aside
of past differences, which do not af-
feet the religious belief of the indi-
vidual, has made possible a church
Of which all the members may be
proud.
The special sleeper "Harcourt,"
which took the visitors from Volga and
Bookings, last Friday evening carried
a representative party of the best peo-
pie of the Lutheran faith who live in
these communities. AS near as we
can learn the following persons oc-
cupied this special car. Mr.. and Mrs.
O. G. Oyloe, Mr.. and Mrs. o. J. Otter
ness, Florence Bitterness, Mr.. and Mrs.

void, Anton Borsvold, Mr.. and Mrs. G..

REGISTRATION Of
ENTIRE COUNTY
NAMES OF ALL MEN m COUNTY
BETWEEN TWENTY-oNE AND
THiRTY.oNE YEARS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND TWO SOLDIERS
List by Precincts Arranged Alphabet
ically-Brookings City
by Wards.

Below We give to our readers a full
and complete list, as issued by the
county auditor, Of all the Of
the men who registered under the Sc
lective draft law on June 9Th. In
our report of last week we gave the
number for the county as fifteen hun
dred even, and since hen two more
have been added, making Bookings
county's quota Of citizen soldiers of
the required ago as fifteen hundred
and two. We can feel proud of the
showing made, especially in the coun-
try precincts. No n would have be-
lieved that there are sc many young
men in the farming communities. 1t
speaks we'll for the agricultural dis
tricts and shows conclusively that We
are not losing in manly vigor, or lack
ing in numerical strength.
Of the number who answered the
question numbered nine on the regis
tartion card, it is believed that many
misunderstood the meaning Of the
same. 1t said, Have you a father,
mother, wife, child under II, or sister
or brother under II, solely dependant
upon you for support" 1t must be
that some thought that this meant
that such persons had none but them
to live with, as cases have been no
ticed in the reports where an affirma-
tive answer was given, when as a mat
ter of fact the supposed dependant
had a good income to keep them. This
question was called for by the depart
ment to be compiled. and in these adj
ditions undoubtedly there were many
who did not intend to claim this as an
exemption. Question twelve "a the
that called for the exemption TO
be stated and hat was not added up
in the summary. This same condition
seem to exist in the cities and the
city papers seem to think that a sland-
er on the patriotism of the young mon
of the country has been circulated.
We cannot believe, as some do, that
such is the case in Brookings county,
or that any man who does not have a
perfectly valid and good extn5e, will
seek to avoid his bounden duty to his
country, his family and to humanity
Let us believe this to be true and then
those who did have an idea of hiding
behind another, and not doing their
duty, will be ashamed of their first
thought and stand firm for home and
country.
Below is the full list of men regist-
cred:
