STATE COLLEGE TRIMS TRINITY HERE
First Game On Local Grounds Does
Not Give Good Line On Form OF
Our Men

Yesterday meetings were held all
over the country in honor of Liberty
Day and the drive for sale Of bonds.
Here at home we did our best to make
the thing a success. A speaker was
advertised for an afternoon meeting
and the stores closed and the school
and college had shortened hours. But
the speaker did not get here until
night. SO in the afternoon the Opera
House was packed full and listened to
local speakers, and BrookingS need
never be ashamed of them. Olaf
Eidem, Dean G.. l.. Brown, II. Is.
Mathews, A. S. Harding, Rev. | NJ.
Hargett and Rev. W. a. Mast spoke,
and every one of the addresses was
full Of the things that men should
hear at this time in our struggle to
keep the flag waving. Each speaker
talked as if he had a mission, as if he
felt the truth of his words and as if
he meant that every nearer should be
convinced. NJ. G. Carlisle presided,
the band rendered suitable music.
In the evening at the n. +. church
nearly a house full gathered to hear

PATRIOTIC CHURCHES

The services at two of the Brook
ings churches on Sunday evening par
took of a patriotic nature. AT the
Presbyterian, the pastor surrendered
the sermon time to DR.. a. A. Harris.
G. A. Mathews. Philo Hall and Prof.
W. A. Mair, These gentlemen spoke
most Interestingly and impressiYely
on the questions now facing our gov
eminent, and particularly with refer
ence to the support that all people
should give the second Liberty loan.
Neither gentleman trenched on the
ground of another, and with DR.. HaT-
ris attending to the Stacker, Mr..
Mathews giving a resume of the queS-
ton of loans to government, Mr.. Hall
with a description OF the enthusiasm
of the big cities in this campaign, and
Prof. MAR appealing TO the need of
money to keep the country intact,
there was a concerted appeal, backed
by reason and evidence, that made a
wonderful impression OF all the con
gregation. The music was of a ma
ture to increase the patriotism of the
meeting and altogether 1t was a splen-
did service.
At the NJ. L. church the program
was a little different, but the same
spirit Of devotion to country was very
manifest. Mrs. Josephine Gardner
gave a wonderful description of her
visit to Camp Funston and Of the
singing Of Madame Schumann-Heink
to the boys in camp. Max Mahany
spoke of the duty and privilege of the
American citizen to stand by the
colors, G.. f. Knappen spoke of the
needs OF the government and the ne
cessity fer its support; II. l.. Hop
kins spoke of the work that is being
done In the camps and h opportun-
ity for Christian citizenship work; F.
A. Brown delivered a stirring appeal
to the patriotism of the people, and
the pastor added a few remarks.
These meetings. coming at a time
and in a place where people are met
for serious thought and not mere
pleasure. are bound to have a won
derful and uplifting effect on the pat
riotic feelings that were in the breasts
of every nearer. Under such strong
and telling appeals the Liberty bond
sale in Bookings must have been
greatly stimulated and thousands add
ed to the total of what Brookings peo-
pie are doing to back the boys at the
front.

man i'm the city will be missed more in
a business way. The Register COM

A BEATS TRINITY

Besides our high school stars, the
State College team beat Trinity col
lege, of Sioux City, in a f~rightful man
ner last Saturday. The score was
80, and if the offensive had been
as strong as the defensive there Is
no telling what it might have been
State outweighed their opponents, anu
compelled them to play an open game
all the time. State played lots OF
short safetys and the wind helped
keep the ball out of Trinity's hands.
State was never threatened at any
time and perhaps that is the reason
that they did not play as hard as one
would think they might have.
Walseth at full back was a source
of great strength, and the running of
Kennard and Metzger was all good
work, Kennard showing that as a high
school star he is going to develope
into a college star. For a freshie ne

Here is part of an interesting let
ter written by a friend of the publish
er of the Register and who is a cap
tain and supply officer at Camp Nc
Arthur, Waco, Texas;
Every week on Wednesday at fou
o'clock, there is a meeting Of the more
than 500 officers in this camp, called
by General Ham, the commander in
chief here. This is the Officers meet
ing" At these meetings matters Of
the greatest importance are discussed.
Every effort has been made to i'm
press the officers and through the of
fcers, the enlisted men, with the fact
that the greatest Importance is at
tached to measures that will enable
men to do their duty with the smallest
loss of life. The experience of the
English and the French proves that
the division unit, such as that now or
gained for the 32nd division, is the
most effective, 10 only for offensive
and defensive work, but also for pre-
serving the lives of the soldiers them
selves. Under this div,e.on unit only
is it possible to prepare to do the
large number of different things that
must be done in battle. and battle
is the big word in the soldiers die
tionary. These men are being pre-
pared to take their places on the bat
tie front. It is to be hoped, of course,
that they may not be called upon to
make the great final sacrifice, but
they are volunteers and they are here
to prepare to fight as their forefath-
ers did for the defense of their coun-
try. If called Upon to face the bull
lets they will do it without f%iinching,
The new organization will be a fight
ing unit that the country will be
proud of if it is ever SEN into the
fight.
1t must not be lost sight of that by
getting into this war at this time the
United States has kept the battle
lines in Europe, rather than in New
York, Pennsylvania, or possibly Wis
consin. Had the German military pow
er carried out the deliberate purpose
hat it has developed for years the
United States itself would have been
drenched in blood o: these same men
that are now getting ready to go
abroad If necessary. Their wives,
their children, their sweethearts, will
be safe at home. due to their efforts
at this time, instead of being in the
horrible condition of the and
children of Poland. Russia, Belgium
and bleeding France. Therefore, they
should cheer the boys up, they should
regard them as men who have gone
to the front to do a mans duty in up
holding the honor of the flag"

STATE OF A

The state of trade all over the coun-
try reported by Bradstreets this week
shows more irregularity. Wholesale
trade good, but caution rules distant
buying. Best reports from northwest,
west and south. Retail trade trifie
slower. Liberty loan, unsettled wealth
er, army enlistments and high prices
affecting buying. Industry active, ex-
cept in Pacific northwest, where
strikes retard shipbuilding and lum-
boring. Stock market steadier after
prolonged fall. Coal scarce, likewise
labor. Immense winter wheat area
has a good start. Food prices turn
downward.

operative creameries of the United
States we produce annually more
than 100000 pounds of butter
The butter or cream, shipped by
rail to the centralizing plant or
lugged on a wagon to the wayside
creamery, is separated back on the
farm or in one of the skimming sta
tions which in recent years have
grown up in butter-producing CEN
ters.
The cream is poured into cans for
delivery to the buttermaker and the
skim milk is disposed of in one of
three ways. 1t goes to the farmers
hogs, becomes commercial casein,
or is dumped.
The skim milk tank of the aver
age skimming station is a thing hor-
rible enough. 1t stands outside the
station on a platform uncovered, full
of flies and other forms OF dirt.
The farmer drives up to the edge
of the platform, dips from the tank
what belongs to him, pours 1t into
cans and goes back to his farm. He

treats as ''slops." for feeding hogs.
The production of 1900. 100000
pounds of butter necessitates the
production of $4,000, 900, 900 pounds
of milk. The exact figures for last
year, 1916, were 45,049. .902 ,033
pounds. This does not include the
milk delivered in bottles or cans for
the milk delivered to the cheese fac
tory. 1t represents the milk in which
last years production of butter. L.

This quantity of butter represent
4,099, ,541 .03S pounds of one of the
best, although little utilized, foods
known to man.
If this food were handled in a
clean, decent manner and treated as
it is treated in France, every pound
of 1t with its precious load of pro-
teins' caseins, sugars, and mineral
salts could be conserved for human
consumption.
Following the outbreak of the war,
the French government forbade the
expectation from France of this food
which by the French is called NAM
mala. Thousands of physicians in
the United States had learned the
and were prescribing the French
product in their ordinary practice.
An American living in Paris,
James r. Hatmaker, at once came
to the United States and established
mammala factory at Knoxville,

the American trade with the prod

The value of mammala has been
established by the Paris Academy of
Medicine as we'll as by the Congress
Hippioque (the French association
of horse breeders).
This association has proved that
colt fed upon mammala attains
it's full development much earlier
than a colt fed in any other way,
and that by its use a horse with a
physical development of a three
year-old can be produced in two
years.
Azot, a colt twenty-six days old
was put on q diet of mammala. II

well-muscled, and had much

The feeding with mammala was
continued. The young horse never
consumed a particle of grain. Tt
