NEW BARBER SHOP OPENS

POOle's new barber shop opened for
business Tuesday morning. The move
OF furniture was made after working
hours Monday. Everything is not yet
in the new place, but baths
and work are being attended to. No
doubt this is the best equipped barber
ing to be built in this city exclusively
for that purpose, the two fats above
being added to make the building a
source Of income. Tile floor, complete
bath rooms, shower, with plenty Of
soft water for use, and every acces-
sorry that modern science has evolved
for the comfort and use of patrons of
barber shops is now, or will be, Install
cd in this new place of business. The
lighting system is splendid, the ample
room for all customers and the large
windows, affording plenty of daylight,
all go to make this place a thing of
beauty and a JOY forever.
We cannot do full justice to the en-
terprise of Mr.. Poole, as all of the fur
niture and fixtures are not yet in
place. But there is enough in evil
dence to prove that when this estab-
lishment is fully equipped. 1t will be a
great credit to Brookings, al we'll as

FIRST BooTLEeeER PULLED

Case number one of the Bookkeeping
fraternity was rounded up Sunday by
Deputy Sheriff Donaldson and Officer
Connolly. SO if anyone else contem-
pates going into business, they had
better steer clear Of those two gentle
men, they have an awful nose for
booze. 1t seems that early on Sunday
the Bunday Garage got a call to come
twelve miles south and pull in a car
that had gone bump. The car was
brought in and parked outside the
garage on Fifth street. During the
day several young men and some not
so young were noticed as feeling
rather exhilerated. Several things had
a look about them that put the officers
on their inquiry and they watched
these same people during the after
noon. Along in the evening there
seemed to be additional activity among
those who were doing a little cele-

AUSPICES OF CLUB
BIG CARNIVAL ALL week ON STREETS
Next Week the Nat Reiss Shows Will
Be on Our Streets for Six Days
Days and Nights

The Commercial Club has been cast.
ipg about for some means to raise
funds for the benefit of Company C,
and two big events are to be pulled OF
at Onie.
This evening at the Pleasant Hour
a bigvaudeville show by members of
company G and local talent will give a
splendid opportunity to see the boys
in some new stunts. The Border
Quartette' composed Of local boys who
were on the border, will render the
latest and best songs. A big movie
viii close the show. 1t will be we'll
worth going to and the dollar you are
asked to pay, goes all but ten per cent
into the company mess fund.
Then all next week the Nat Reiss
Shows will be on the streets all six
days and nights. The Commercial Club
obtained a contract with this show
whereby ten per cent of all receipts
GO to the mess fund, with a guarantee
that at least 5000 shall be paid over
for that purpose. If the business OF
the shows is good enough. the percent
age will be more than that.
This carnival company comes here
from Springfield. Mimi, where they
were inspected by two representatives
Of the Commercial Club. They are
also endorsed by the officials OF Man
kato, where they played for a military
benefit for a week. They have three
riding devices. a merry-go-round,
ocean wave and Ferris wheel. A dog,
pony and horse circus; an athletic
show; a musical revue; ten in one,
with glass blowers. etc: days of 40;
midgets: Illusion show, and is furnish
ed unsteady with a fourteen piece
band. Every feature of the show is
under the supervision of the Com
mercial Club and not an objection
able feature will be permitted. Presi-
dent Culhane Of the Club says. There
will be nothing in the way Of games
that can be frowned on, as they are
promised to be without any gambling
features"
This is a time when the boys who
ere going to the sternest duties that
war can devise, should be made to feel
that we think well of them and honor
their nerve and patriotism. We a
cheer them with a week of carnival
and get from the money spent a good
percentage for their mess fund.
The Register would have preferred
some other method Of raising this
money and we had one to propose In
this weeks issue, but as the CONNER
cial Club has decided that this is the
way the thing should be handled, we
very quietly step aside and do all we
can to boost for any legitimate scheme
that will benefit the boys In drab.
Boost, brother, boost. Make the
last weeks OF our boys at home, a good
one.
The boys are working hard daily,
the officers are giving them all the
work they can stand rightly. The re-
serves are being prepared to go to
Fort Meade to be sworn in, all the re-
serve corps in the state will assemble
there. A bunch of twenty-six came
here from Howard, Tuesday, that COM
pany being full, most of them being
from Centerville.

BRIGHT BOY KILLED

Last Friday evening just after the
band concert started, the people in
the section of town neal the post
office were shocked by an auto and
bicycle accident in which little Georg-
le Gray. son of Mr.. and Mrs. O.. L.
Cray, lost his life. The Gray residence
being only half a block from the band
stand in the High School Park, the
concert was discontinued as soon as
the seriousness of the accident was
learned. at the request of the neigh
bors.
1t seems that Walter Sharp was rid
ing his bicycle and George Gray was
riding on in front as Is the custom
among the boys. They were coming
along Fifth street and rode into the
Bunday garage, to get the tires blown
up. so Walter says. Henry PLACER, a
we'll known carpenter OF the city, had
purchased a Ford car the day before
and was driving the same out of the
garage. He had started from the back
OF the room where his car was stored.
and had just lodged n boy on a BIZ
cycle, when as heapproached the east
front door. the Sharp wheel darted in.
The boys tried to avoid the car and
Mr.. PLACER tried to get II of their
way. and it would seem as if both
turned the same way. The auto struck
pump in the alley between driveways,
overturned the wheel, and George fell
under and the wheel OF the car ran
onto both of them. pining them down.
Mr.. PLACER and others at once went
to the help of the boys, the car was
lifted off. the wheel taken up and the
little fellow underneath was picked up
in an unconscious condition and taken
to his home less than a block away. A
doctor was called, and examination
showed a fractured skull, the head
crushed open. Life did not finally
NuN NH III di'tl l'n htN.
Father Dooley and many friends were
with the family and ministered to
their needs and did all that could be
done.
The funeral occurred Monday at 10
a. NJ, from the residence. Father
Dooley officiating, and interment in
Greenwood Cemetery. over fifty autos
were in the funeral cortege many
coming from Elkton and the country
where the family have friends. 1t was
an entirely auto funeral, not a horse
being in the procession.
The fatality was a pure accident,
for which no one can be blamed,
though perhaps the boys were unwise
or had no right, to be running into
the garage. There can be absolutely
no blame attached to Mr.. PLACER, he
did his best to avoid them. The ac-
cident so sickened Mr.. PLACER Of the
car, that he turned it back at once to
Mr.. Bunday, the agent, and said he
could not use it.
Everyone sympathizes from the very
bottom Of their hearts with Mr.. and
Mrs. Gray in this hour of such deep
sorrow. George was a very bright
boy. loved by his playmates at school
and il the neighborhoOd. All those
who knew him felt that he was a lik-
able little fellow, manly and well be
haved. And the cruel manner of the
unavoidable accident, makes the death
a very sad one to all the town. The
Register, as one of the many friends
of the Gray family, desires to express
its deepest sympathy and condolenc-
es in his time of sorrow.

WAR GARDENS"
ALONG THE RAILROAD
Twelve Hundred Under Cul-
tivatiOn

Nearly 1900 War Gardens" are
being cultivated. this Summer on
-acant land Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and its Lines East OF
Pittsburgh. by employees. for the
nse Of themselves and their fam
lies. The value Of the crops
raised will probably exceed a
.uarter of million dollars.
Altogether more than 1000 acres
nave planted, and are now produc-
.ng crops Of potatoes, peas. beans,
tomatoes. corn. and various other
Garden vegetables. The average
,.ze Of each plot of railroad land,
-!lled by an employe. falls Just
short of an acre.
Special arrangements wer e
made this Spring by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, to induce employees
70 take up unoccupied land be-
.onging to the Company, and plant
: for the purpose of assisting in
Increasing the Nations food sup
n.v. Through the Real Estate De-
oartment Of the Company, a plan
vas worked out whereby any en-
o,ove could, without fOrmality, OBJ
ain the use Of as much land as he
could properly cultivate, and upon
q mere nominal rental. All that
vas necessary for an employe to
10 if he desired to raise War
Garden" was to apply to his sup
arior officer and sign a simple
-orm Of lease. The land would
then be placed at his disposal.
To encourage proper and scien-
tifc methods Of cultivation, every
employe undertaking to plant such
. tract was supplied with copy
Of THE Garden Primer" issued by
The National Emergency Food
Commission. and also a copy of a
booklet on Potato Culture, which
vas prepared by the Agricultural
Department of the State Of Penn
svlvania, especially for the use of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Since March 1st. 613 new leases
have been made covering garden
tracts cultivated by employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. In
addition. $50 other tracts of the
Railroads land are being cultivat-
ed on leases dating from previous
years.
Besides the land used for kit
chen-garden purposes, under no.
minal rentals, the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad has leased to employees
and others 649 larger tracts of
land, owned by the Company but
not at present utilized for railroad
purposes.
These tracts are being cultivat-
ed as farms, or are used for cattle
grazing and similar purposes.
Of these tracts, 231 consist of i'm
proved farms. and 80 of unimprov-
ed farms. There are also 315
large tracts used for pasturage
and IA tracts for miscellaneous
agricultural purposes.
