BROOKiNGS CITIZEN HoNoRED

Another citizen of Brookings has
been singled out by the government
to give of his talents and knowledge
to the cause of the nation at this time
of need. George p. Sexauer has been
requested by Herbert Hoover, National
Food Administrator, to act as one of
a committee of five millers of the
northwestern district on the distri-
button of wheat and -four.
This commission is made up of rep
resentative men from all over the
United States, the country being divid-
ed into districts, with thirty members
in all. The committee of which Mr..
Sexauer is a member has A. C. Loring
the big Minneapolis miller, as its chair
man. 1t is composed of three from
Minnesota, one from North Dakota
and our neighbor representing South
Dakota. The work has not been plan
ned in detail and Mr.. Sexauer expects
a call at any time to meet the other
members and coordinate the work.
Brookings feels complimented in the
choice of Mr.. Sexauer, and knows that
his services on the committee will
fully justify his selection.

HOTEL LEON CHANGES HANDS

On last Friday the Hotel Leon in
this city changed hands and is now
under new proprietorship and manage
ment. Sam Reickert sold the interior
furnishings and good will of the es-
tablishment to B. E. Eastman, who is
now in charge. Mr.. Eastman is an
experienced hotel man, having served
in the business for a number of years,
most of the time as steward of larger
hotels. He comes here from Huron,
where he has been steward of the Ho-
tel Royal. He is bringing some ex-
perienced hotel help here with him
and promises to give Brookings a first
class hostelry. With his past exper-
fence we have every reason to believe
that he will do as he promises and
as this is the only hotel in the city
catering to transient and travelling
patronage we certainly hope that we
will have reason to be proud of the
hotel as long as he manages it. Mr..
Reickert retains ownership of the
building and leases it to the new
proprietor.

STATE OF A

The state of trade all over the coun-
try reported by Bradstreets this week
is that it has enlarged. Summer
weather, food crop improvement and
government buying help distribution.
Easing of prices Of food shown as new
crop supplies come in. Conservatism
evident in wholesale lines, but textiles
sell more freely. Six months trade a
record one in value at most markets.
Cantonment building stimulates lum.
Der, hardware and other materials.
Money supplies and rates affected by
large government financing. Industry
at full pace, but labor scarcity keeps
down outputs. Price fixing of great
staples causes uncertainty. Raw ma
terials high, but coal prices promise
ease.

RECOVERY OF S. D. CENTRAL

A dispatch of yesterday from Sioux
Falls has the following to say about
the old South Dakota Central. and we
believe that parties here in Brookings
would be financially benefited il the
plan goes through.
1t is reported on good authority that
papers will be filed this week prepare
tory to the commencement of a suit
for recovery Of the old South Dakota
Central railway property, now owned
by the Hill interests of the Great
Northern system. The contention will
be made by stockholders of the old
company that upon payment to the
Hill interests of the sum they paid for
the road, that under the law the Hills
will have to surrender the property.
OF the $4,000 Of stock issued by
the road, $1,000, 900 was forwarded to
Z. F. Sherman, the builder of the road,
who a year or two ago was crowded
out by certain interests in the old
company, who now holds this amount
of stock in trust for the stockholders.
If the contemplated suit is instituted
and is successful the railway will be
separated from the Great Northern
organization and its former
status as an Independent railroad, with
p. F.. Sherman again in its manage
ment. 1t is believed by the stock
holders that Mr.. Sherman would
speedily place the road or a paying
basis

OUR NEW STORY

With this weeks issue we start TO
publish a story that has been acclaim
ed by critics as one of the greatest
animal stories ever written. 1t is the
story of a dog, half wild, half tame,
in ~parentage, and gives a most vivid
account of the struggle between the
two natures that are in him, as they
contend for the mastery of his actions
and instincts. The author, James
Oliver Curwood, has written other
good stories, but this one has called
out the most expressions of pleasure
and approval. IT deals with the north.
ern country, with its great vastness
Of mighty scenery, and the human
element that is introduced is true to
the life of the inhabitants. 1t is a
story that is bound to please you and
we urge you not to miss the first in
stallment. 1t was copyrighted in 1916
and was one of the best sellers of the
year. 1t has just been released for
newspaper use and we we're fortunate
in being able to secure the right OF
publication.

A SHERIFF ON JOB

When South Dakota at midnight
Saturday entered the list of statewide
prohibition states. it automatically
was provided. under an act of the last
legislature. with a unique state law
enforcement force. made up of the
sheriffs of the various counties, acting
under the direction of a state sheriff.
This force of county sheriffs is expect
ed to prove as effective a law enforce
ment force as the famous Texas rang-
ers or the Canadian northwest mount
ed police. For this important Office
Governor Norbeck appointed John G..
Shanks of Parker. for some years
sheriff of Turner county, one of the
most populous of the state. State sher-
in Shanks had long since proved him
self n of the most efficient officers
in the northwest.
The law creating the Office of state
sheriff also authorized the enrolment
of all the county sheriffs of South Da
kota as a state constabulary, to be I'M
der the direction, as occasion demands
of the state sheriff. The duties of the
state sheriff are to enforce all the
criminal laws of South Dakota, to
cause filing of criminal complaints
against persons charged with viola
tons Of the same; to assist in detect
ing and investigating crime, procuring
evidence against violators Of the law.
and arresting and prosecuting those
charged with state law violations.
The state sheriff also is required,
under the law, to suppress riots and
and enforce law and order
throughout the state. He also must
supervise the members of the state
constabulary in the discharge of their
official duties, and will cooperate with
and assist the governor of South Da-
kota in the performance of his consti-
laws of the state are faithfully en-
forced.
A part of the attention of the state
sheriff and his force of county sheriffs
will be devoted to a strict enforcement
of the state law carrying into effect
statewide prohibition. They will, if
possible, make the state bone dry as
is contemplated by the act OF the legis-
lature carrying into effect the state
wide prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, which was adopted
by the voters OF South Dakota at the
election in November, 1916.
