The Brookings Band was as usual in
attendance daily and gave excellent
selections Of good music with their
well known swing and snap. Lack of
NUMBERS does not seem to impede
Prof. Christensen very much in the
production Of good music. It probab-
ly results on account of the superior
ability of the men who are still at
home and who now compose the band.
The drill of the college soldiers on
the last day was the best feature of
the week. 1t was heartening to see
what splendid soldiers can be made
of the young American manhood in a
short period Of less than two months.
They drilled and marched like veter-
ans, their bearing and carriage was
%soldierly and inspiring, and Captain
Hotchkiss and Lieutenants Warner and
Shepard are to be congratulated on
the work they have accomplished in
the instruction of these young men in
the duties of a soldier. AS they go
away this week to take places in the
big army for "over there" they take
with them the confidence, admiration
and good will of all the people in
whose midst they have lived for the
past two months. If a list of winners
and a statement Of the fairs finances
are furnished the Register, we will
gladly give them room as space per-
mits.

time, but | am not at the battle front
yet. We moved in motor trucks to
a large artillery camp. We sleep in
barracks here instead of pup tents.
There are stores and cafes and an
teens, etc, where we can buy all kinds
OF stuff as long as the money holds
out. There is a pond of water about
thirty feet deep in the rocks where
we can go swimming in the evening
unless we would rather go down 10
the Y. NJ. c. A. or to town. Maybe |
will stay here until | get ready to 20
to the front and maybe | will move
to a dozen different places before
then.
Today is Sunday so | went 70 church
this morning. This afternoon | am
going to movies at the Y. M. C. A.
and then to a base ball game.
The Y. M. C. A. is going to make
another big drive for money in the
states this fall, and they have asked
the soldiers to tell the folks at home
what the Y. M. c. A. is good ford.
They are established in nearly every
army camp at home and abroad and
they do every thing in their power
to keep the soldiers in good spirit.
They furnish writing material and
books etc, for the soldiers. On Sun
days they have religious services and
every night they have some kind of
an observation-disclosures, music,
boxing, wrestling, etc. Of course the
army could get along without the Y.
M. C. A, but 1t does a whole lot to
make the men forget about the So
called hardships of a soldiers life.

Blakely took to Huron and won first
in the state for our rural schools. In
another column an account of this big
victory is given. We have had no re-
port of the horse races, though on the
last day a race in which Secretary
Cole was the driver of one of the
contestants, resulted adversely to that
gentleman, and was quite a race and

joy the fighting finish. The amuse-

a ff%ty-four hour pleasant journey
over a beautiful picturesque part of
the country. Our trip was delightful
and comfortable. We travelled in
Pullmans all the way and had our
meals on the train.
We came through Peoria and Joliet,
H.. two large cities, of great inter
est, on to Chicago, where we spent
a couple of enjoyable hours.
OF all the different states that we
came through, | liked the aspect of
Indiana the best, but none Of them
came up to the standard of good '"Old
South Dakota" | didn't see any
farms built up so we'll as in South
Dakota, except in Iowa. But trees
| haven't see anything like it. Saw
many apple orchards in the state of
New York. The scenery along the
way as we travelled was simply mag
niicent. The mountains were almost
covered with evergreens, with small
silvery streams Of water intervening.
We also travelled for miles along the
historic river of Delaware, before
reaching our destination. The more
a fellow travels the more he wants
to.
Expect We will soon cross the pond,
as we are to receive most of our train
ing on the other side. Camp Merritt
is a large sized camp, not far from
the coast and near New York City.
There are many trees of varied varie-
ties which add to the appearance of
the camp. The climate here is very
unlike that of Kansas. Here we re-
ceive the cool breeze from the ocean.
Before leaving Camp Leavenworth, we
were issued a new set of clothing and
a complete outfit Of everything that
a soldier would possibly need for ser.
vice overseas.

WILL GREENLEE BE REPRESENTED.

Since the rejection of Gov. Hunts second nomination as Greenlee's representative on the State Council of Defense there has been no in- dication that the executive intends to submit another name. Up to the present no one seems to be losing any sleep over the failure of the Governor to name an acceptable representa- tive. So far the public sentiment of Green lee can be ascertained all seem to be we'll satis- fled to remain without representation on the board and certainly will approve of the Board of Supervisors rejection of all appointees un- less they are who can secure the cooper ation of the entire citizenship, and be the choice of large per cent of the population of the county.
 If the Governor has the notion that Green lee is ready to surrender the right of self-g ernment, even to one so eminent as the execu- tive his skinner leaks. The right to say who will represent us is too strongly implanted in the American breast to contemplate the surren- der of this cherished heritage now or any time in the future.
