| One day while Rev. J. Hines, a we'll
known retired Canadian missionary,

dian came to him and after much pre-
| lin1inary conversation said: well, it
is about six months since my wife died,
and just before she left me she said in
the presence of witnesses that if 1 re-
manned single until the following
Spring was to get married again, and
as the leaves are already big on the
trees, have come to see you and hear
what you have to say about it,
When I told him that there was no
law to prohibit his taking another
wife 50 soon, he went on, II want you
to select wife for me-"
Why" I said, 81 should not care
to undertake such A. responsibility,
for, if named woman and you mar
ried her and afterward she did not
please you, you would be most likely to
blame me for your unhappiness."

] do not suppose young woman
would care to be troubled with me; I
want a woman about my own age"
1 was much pleased with his words,
for they seemed to me to be sensible
and thoughtful; so I mentioned a wild
ow about his own age, whom 1 had
noticed taking great interest in his
bereaved children.
"Ah!" be said. II knew you were
guided BY the Great Spirit in all you
undertake. That is the very woman I
have been thinking about, and how
could you have known this unless the
Great Spirit had guided your judg-
ment?"
WELL" I replied, RI am glad that
you look at it in that way; now you
had better go and propose to her.
NO. said he, IT cannot do that.
If knew she would say yes I should
go; but she might say no. and In,

Then asked him what he intended
to do. why, sir" said he, IT want
you to propose for me-
Well, I was in fix; but having
yielded so far to his request, I felt
bound in some way to go on to the
end. So, having obtained my wife's
permission, I called on the widow at
my earliest convenience and explain
ed matters to her, taking great pains
to make her understand was propos-
ing for the other fellow and not for |
myself. My mission was successful, |
and in due course they were lawfully |

LAND CASE RULING

the supreme court he has authority to
approve for patenting the forest re-
serve LEU land selections in South Da-
serve lieu land selections in South Da-
kota, thus ending the uncertainty
which has existed for the past four
years with relation to the land now
embraced in the South Dakota state
forest and game preserve, which was
taken in lieu of common school land
sections 16 and SO in the Black Hills
and the Harvey national forest.
About $4,000 acres of timber land is
involved in this decision. The land
was selected under an agreement be-
tween the forest service and the com
missioner of school and public lands
of South Dakota. The state has been
in possession of the land and has been
operating it as a forest reserve and
game preserve, but recently the fed
eral forest service questioned the
states right to make a sale of %, 1000

MILk-CREAM RULING

1t is unlawful to sell emulsified or

opinion by the attorney general Of

statement of the opinion to all milk
and cream dealers notifying them of
what must be done to be within the
law. as follows
According to the opinion referred
to. it is not legal to use the words
'emulsifed' or ~'homoginized' on the
label or brands as this would tend to
lead the purchaser to believe that the
substance is a kind of milk or cream,
which would be contrary to facts.
y = = = 1t is therefore required that
emulsiied and homoginized milk and
e be marked or branded with the
words 'Artiicially Assembled Milk
or 'Artificially Assembled Cream as
the case may be. Any evasion of
these requirements will be deemed in
violation of the law"
Emulsifed and homOginized milk
and cream are products made from
milk powder and unsalted butter. The
powder is dissolved by mixing it in
certain proportions with water, Then
the mixture is heated and the butter
added in proportions according to the
richness of the milk or cream desired.
The emulsification of the mass is ac-
complished by running it through an
emulsifier or homoginizer under pres
sure.

BROOkINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY A
LEADER IN ITS CLASS

The bienniel report of the State Lii
brary Commission is at hand. From
the statistical tables may be obtained
some information Of interest TO Brook
ings people, that is to all who care
for progress.
Brookings is tenth in population
among the cities of the state. But
on almost all counts the public lib~-
airy runs ahead of its class. AS a rela-
lively new library it is twelfth in act
ual total number Of books, but for the
past biennium, ending June 80, it is
second in the total number of books
added, only Sioux Falls with more
than four times the amour of money
to spend, adding a larger number Of
volumes. 1t is seventh in tax levy
but fourth in the amount of money
going into books, periodicals, and
binding, the items that measure this
most accurately the returns the people
are getting for money expended.
~Brookings stood sixth (but as four
larger towns fell behind it) in amount
of circulation, and, not quite so good,
tied for eigi,h place in circulation Of
the more se.4ous non-iction works.
To turn the figures about a little,
Bookings surpassed eight larger
towns in number of volumes added,
doing this on a smaller levy in most
cases, surpassed six larger towns in
periodicals, and binding, others spend
ing a proportionately larger amount
in heat and repairs and the like, and
surpassed four larger towns in actual
volume of circulation.
There was a little falling off in the
average of books circulated per per-
son in population; here Brookings
holds the sixth place. Perhaps this
need not be called a falling off; but
there is nothing to hinder Bookings
standing first in number of books read
on the average by each inhabitant.
Still less reason is there for our not
standing first in proportion of serious
books read. 1t is rather interesting
what can be the reason?-to note that
small places do better in both these
particulars than larger ones. 1t is
little Milbank that leads all the state,
and leads so far ahead as to be out of
sight in the proportion Of serious
books read. Moreover all the towns
with a larger per capita reading than
Brookings are smaller than Bookings
and here again Milbank, tied with
Miller. leads. with eleven per person
as compared with less than seven for
Bookings. Yet probably Miller, with
It's circulation, is not in danger of
brain fever,-less than a book a
month.
1t is clear then that Brookings can
well double its total volume Of circu.
lation; clearer still that it can push
the reading of worthwhile books. Viii,
a campaign of publicity double the ap.
probation. among Brookings people,
of It's public library?
