GATHERING
T|OWAP PICNIC
IN SPITE OF THE THREATENING
WEATHER IOWA PEOPLE
GATHER IN NUMBERS
AF|NE PROGRAM IS CARRIED OUT IN FULL
Splendid Speeches by Prominent Men
Good Music and Entertaining
Sports.

That it was the most successful
meeting ever held of the Iowa Picnic
Association of Brookings County, is
the unanimous opinion of all its mem
bers and all the crowd that were in
the grove on Monday of this week.
The ElktOn Band was employed 70
furnish the music for the occasion and
that they were there all the time
from the start TO the finish is a sure
enough recommendation for them.
They played every time il was asked
or suggested and the management of
the picnic want to thank them for the
cheerful way in which they responded
ity. The program was started off
about on time, with S. j. Rudolph pre-
siding as president of the day. The
program vns carried through as wa
advertised in last weeks paper, and
after the invocation the large crowd
sang MY Country, It's of Thee" with
all the ardor and enthusiasm of a
typical patriotic assembly.
The address of welcome delivered
by Olaf Eden, of Bookings, was GER
tainly n of the finest addresses ever
listened TO by any audience of Iowan3,
and if they did not know before how
much the whole northwest is indebted
to Iowa people for the development Of
their country, they certainly do now.
The big audience constantly gave ex-
preston to their agreement with Mr..
Eden by means of hearty applause.
The address of President T.. G. Per
isho, of State College, was one Of
those splendid talks for which DR.,
Perisho is so well known all over the
state. His advice along lines connect
ed with agriculture, his suggestions
as to conservation. and his cheering
message as to the national conditions
were all interesting and appreciated
And his solemn warning to realize the
gravity of the present war situation
sounded a note Of responsibility TO
every n present.
The readings by Miss Ina Hutchen-
dorf, l.. Ross and Herbert Hutchen-
dOrf were intensely interesting. and
to discriminate as to communication
would be unjust. However, a word
must be said for the original poem
recited by Herbert. in which he very
humorously took off the characters
tics of all the neighbors and those
present with whom we are all ac-
of DR.. Perisho to raise crops, barring
n OF hair, caught the popular fancy
and brought down the house. Tho
singing was fine and the entertain
ment by the club was splendid. The
program was well balanced az to fea-
lures and claimed the undivided at
tention Of every one on the grounds.

gram, but which earned by its excel.
lence a most generous tribute OF ap-
plause, was a recitation by Henry
Zook. When the name was called
many thought to see the well known
face of u Brookings market gardner,
but it turned out to be the beaten Of
the big bass drum for the Elkton
Band, Mr.. Zook has a good right arm
for beating drums and he also has a
fine voice and presence for putting
across r%ecitations. 1t was one OF the
surprises OF the day. and hugely en-
joyed.

"A message received from

Foreign Minister of Brazil Re
signs

signs
Rio de Ianeiro, May 3.-Dr
LaurO Muller has rendered Pres
ident Braz his resignation as
minister of foreign affairs. The
government has received infor-
nation that the Brazilian minis
ter to Germany has been order
ed detained in Berlin and has
ordered the detention of Adolpf
PAUL., German minister TO Bra
ZI!, who is on his way to Uru-
quay.
DR.. Lauro Muller has been
bitterly criticised in Brazil since
the relations between the repub-
lie and Germany first became
acute on the ground that he was
pro. German in his sympathies.
His opponents accused him of
using his influence 10 prevent a
breach of relations between Bra
I'll and Germany and demanded
his resignation. DR.. Muller was
first appointed foreign minister
in February, 1912, and even at
that time was attacked as being
too friendly TO Germany, an ac-
cusation apparently based in
part, at least, on his German
descent. He is one of the best
known statesmen in South
America and has made several
visits to the United States.

Fine Opportunity for Pageland
School

Mr.. w. H. Hand, State high
school Inspector visited the
school here a few weeks ago
and below is a letter written by
him to Mr.. S. A. Sellers, chair
man of the school board:
Dear Sir:
Not until this morning have
l had the time for conference
with Superintendent Swearin-
gen about your financial situa-
tion at Pageland. He instructs
me to say to you and to your
people that if you will vote an
additional two mills for the sup
port of your school before June
|, 1917, he will give the district
out of funds in his hand as much
as the two mill levy adds 10
your resources up to a limit Of
$3.50.
This offer is even better than
l hoped for when | met your
board a few days ago. | con-
graduate you on this liberal OF.
fer, and | urge YOU to get to
work at once with your petition
asking for the election. Surely
your people would not for a
moment think of turning down
so generous a proposition.
should be glad to have you
keep me informed as to the
progress you are making.
Very truly yours.
