building up the selective CONSUMPTION

tribution of a circular by Provost
Marshal, General Crowder notifying
the registered men to hold themselves
in readiness for appearance before
the board which will conduct exam
nations and consider exemptions.
How or when the government will Sc
lect the men is not detailed in the
circular, but it is revealed that reg
istration cards in each county or city
jurisdiction are to be numbered with
red ink and that "as soon as the
drawing is complete lists showing the
order in which these red ink num-
bers are drawn will be published in
the press and will be posted at the
office of each local board" 1t al
ready has been announced that the
selection will take place in Washing

A portion, at least, of the hostility
being displayed towards the middle
men of the country is due to the
fact that merchants have engaged in
the pastime of knocking each other,
and that consumers have been in
clined to believe these stories, even
though the man who started them
did not.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Measured in aggregate results, the
first half of 1917 shows a notable gain
over the initial six months of 1916.
The improvement permeates through
out the various channels of produc-
ton and distribution, and is reflected
in every avenue through which bust
ness and industry is gagged. The ex-
pansion in activity and enhancement
of prosperity which has for some
time permeated the channels affected
by the manufacture and shipment
of munitions has become more gen.
eral during the past half year, and in
various directions the re-establish-
ment of activity has become appar-
ent. Increased output is returned in
practically every branch of manufac-
ture. Wholesale and retail trade has
expanded substantially in every sec
ton of the country.

OLD FRIENDS IN NEW YORK

Howard Biggar always remembers
his old friends in Brookings and sends
us the following letter 80 that our
readers can learn something of the
good things hat old Bookings resi-
dents are doing:
Nov. "a, 1917.-Brookings Register
Dear Sirs: Was over in New York
for three days hobnobbing with the
cosmopolitan hordes on Broadway and
Fifth avenue. Strained my eyes to
catch the top view of the Woolworth
building, went up in the Statue of Lib
erty. went sightseeing through Wall
street and the Bowery to the Battery
and saw New York's millions of lights
when the night came on. Chatted
over the phone with Harvey Dunn, a
former State college man and now a
leading illustrator with the Saturday
EveninE Post. Ate breakfast with
Hubert Mathews. who has the great
opportunity of taking instruction un-
der Dunn. Hubert is doing well n
looks as though the metropolis agreed
with him. Saw Orland White and DR..
Olive out at the Brooklyn Botanical
Gardens. Frank Locke is with the
Western Electric company, VIII
Schaphorst is with Gibson and Co, adj
vertising engineers. All these form
er Bookings people are hitting the
line nara and rejecting credit on
Bookings and South Dakota. Very
truly, II. Howard Biggar.

A SOUTH DAKOTA UNIT

Orders were issued today by the
War Department to The commencing
general 34th division, Camp Cody, \.
NJ, directing him to form and retain
at least one complete unit of First
South Dakota Cavalry, and to pre-
serve other First South Dakota cav
airy units wherever practicable. The
order was issued after a series Of
conferences between the 2djutant
general, Governor Norbeck, of South
Dakota, and j. E. Mather, of Water
town. This is a greater concession
than has been made to any other
states where units have been disor-
ganized. A ruling Of the department
requires retention of regiments hay
ing longest service records, conse-
quently the First South Dakota cay
airy will not be retained as a full reg
mental unit. The result of this or
der will mean the organization from
First Cavalry of at least one full ma
chine gun battalion, or one full artil-
lery battery. South Dakota Will have
at least n complete fighting unit
in the 34th division, consisting entire
ly of South Dakota boys.

SCANDINAVIA NEUTRAL

At a conference Of the kings of Nor.
Christiania last week, the following
is announced as their agreement on
the attitude of these countries toward
the world war:
First, by reason of the harmony ex-
listing between the three countries,
however, long the war may last and
whatever form it may take, the cor
dial relations and mutual confidence
of the three kingdoms shall be main
tanned.
Second. in conformity with the pre-
vious declarations and policies of the
three countries, it is the full intention
of their governments, each for itself,
to observe the utmost degree OF neu-
trality toward all b%elligerent powers.
Third, the desire is expressed recip-
rocally to aid one another with mer-
chandise during the present Difficult
ties and special representatives are to
meet Immediately to facilitate the ex-
change of merchandise.
At the meeting there was a discus
sion in reference to legislation dealing
with the relations of foreigners and
Scandinavian subjects. An agreement
also was reached regarding the con-
tinuation of preparatory measures to-
ward safeguarding the common inter
ests Of neutrals during and after the
war. The ~desirability of cooperation
among the three countries was ex-
pressed at a previous conference.

ARE YOU A BACkER?

If you are a member of the Amer
lean Red Cross you are. Thousands
of American boys will be in France by
Christmas. Hundreds Of them will be
wounded by that time. The way to
stand back of them is to join the Red
Cross. 1t will cost you only n dol
lar a year. Your membership will be
as good as a Christmas present to
some boy in the trenches or in the
hospital, who has given up a good deal
more than money to make your life
safe.
BY Christmas there must be Is, 900.
900 members of the Red Cross in the
country. There are now about 5,000,-
600. This means that every member
must bring in two lore. There are
about $4,000 persons in Brookings
county. About 1000 of these are mem
bers of the Red Cross. Surely we
can make it 1000, and show our Sam
mics that we are with them. When
the boys come home won't it be fine
to know that we did what we could to
make the fight easier for them.
Let's all say, Merry Christmas"
to the boys in France, first Of all with
a Red Cross membership, for it Ger.
tainly will not be very merry without
it. Red Cross Committee.

A SOLDIER BOY
HOME ON VISIT
WILL JARMAN HOME TO SPEND
THANKSGIVING WITH FAMILY
TELLS OF CAMP LIFE
SOUTH DAKOTA ARMY UNIT IS ASSURED
Through Efforts Of Governor, Con.
gresham And Senator, War Sec.
rotary Makes Order

A Thanksgiving furlough for six
days was enough to permit Will Jar
man to come home and see the folks
and eat some of. mothers cooking. A
few of the boys from other parts of
the county did the same, but Will Orr
Hoffman and Frank GoOdfellOw, of
lakewood, were the only ones who
came to the city.
Will has a good report to make of
all of the Brookings county contin-
gent, as no one of them were sent
down to Camp Cody at Deming. 1t
seems that when the call came for
men to be sent from Funston to Cody,
that those who did not seem to take
much interest In their work, were the
ones selected. And as all of the boys
from this county were willing work
ers and were giving their best efforts
to become good soldiers, none of them
were weeded out. Wele Franck is
still the tallest man in the camp and
as a consequence is still wearing over
alls, as no regulation army pants have
been found long enough for him. He
has been transferred to the hospital
corps and is a pharmacist in the en-
gineer hospital. Being a good drug
gist he will advance faster in that de-
tail than IL knnf In The ranly
Other boys from the city are get
ting promoted as fast as there is call
for more non-commissioned officers,
and John Sponsler has been made a
sergeant, though his warrant had not
arrived when Will came home. VIII
says that the food is good and well
cooked, and that out of their govern
ment allowance, his mess has saved
eight hundred dollars. This they will
use from time to time for extra
spreads and special occasions. Their
barracks is close to the Y. NJ. G. A.
and neal the center OF the camp. They
have eight "Y" buildings in the camp
and the c%anteens which we're at first
run under a privilege contract, are
now being taken over by the soldiers
and run as regimental stores.
The machine gun battalion in which
he is connected. is the only detached
n in the camp, all the rest being at
tached to some regiment. The life
seems to be agreeing with Will and
he says that the experience he is hav-
ing is going to be worth lots to him
in his after life. He certainly looks
as hard as nails physically, and any
n who saw and talked with VIII
while he was at home need not have
any fear but what the boys who are
In the army are having the best Of
n and attention.

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade all over the coun.
try reported by Bradstreets this week
that trade is still large. Scarcity the
key word in trade reports. Cars. coal,
foods, labor and raw materials are
short in current supply. Railway ter
minals congested and more depend
ence being placed on water routes.
Prices higher; pork products, raw cot
ton and cotton goods leading. Coun-
try-wide sugar scarcity should soon be
relieved. Nonessential industries
slowing down. Retail trade is better
in crop surplus sections and where
cold weather has interviewed. West
ern money rates sitter farm loans
will be higher. Stock market dull

RURAL SCHOOL HEADS LIST

We are advised by the county com-
mittee on the subscriptions to the Y.
M. c. A. war fund, that Preston school
No. S, with a subscription of $40. leads
all the schools OF the state under one
teacher in amount given to the fund.
Miss Florence Palmer of this city
is the teacher and elsewhere in this
paper is the account of the way the
money was raised. This is an honor
that the school should appreciate and
we feel that when the scholars find
out how high they stand in the esti-
nation of all the county, that they
will redouble their efforts to keep the
standard of their scholarship just as
high.
1t is reported that two other schools
in Bookings county are also ahead
of all the other schools in the state
for amount raised for the fund. Of
course high schools and other big
schools gave more, but this is based
on the schools urder one teacher.
And when you come right down TO it,
it is hard to beat the rural schools
when they start out to do a thing.
Witness how the rural schools Of the
county have made it possible for
Superintendent Blakely to capture the
prize at the State Fair for the past
two years.
