WAR MADE ONE MAN HAPPY

There Is a fine article in the Febru-
airy American Magazine in which a
writer quotes from q letter received
from a friend in the trenches. The
friend says:
81 never felt so peaceful in my
life-inside, since We got
over here. OF course the thing is ter
rible enough. I've seer dead men and
wounded men. and | feel as though [
could never get clean again if | washed
the rest of my life.
But it seems as though | had
found a satisfaction that | never would
have found otherwise. You know the
old story about the gods giving man
every gift. and then denying him the
one gift of contentment: because they
knew if they gave him that he would
cease to struggle and never aniount to
anything. And you know how discon-
tented we all are at home. We think.
Gee, if | could only get another hun
dred a month. I'd be happy" And we
get the hundred, and find that we're
%unhappier than ever. And we go on
and on. always thinking that next
week We'll find the answer to happi-
ness. and never finding it.
"'Well, I've found it over here. Bill,
I've given up a good job and ny wife
and my kid, and maybe my life. And
Pm happy all the way through. Funny,
isn't 1t. that l should never get any
happiness when l was trying my darn
dest to get it. and should find it all in
a heap when I thought l had given It
up? The chaplain preached today.

WOMEN TO REGISTER

one of the greatest efforts that has
been put forth during the war is the
present registration of all the women
resources Of the nation. It is one Of
the best things that could happen to
the cause of suffrage, as the response
to this registration is the answer 70
many doubters as to the need Of woman
in the every day walks of life and their
say in the matter Of how they shall be
governed. 1t would seem that every
woman who has the interest of her
country at heart would give her best
efforts To having this matter given
the most thorough test. If she will not
do it for her country's sake, then she
should do it for her own sake, for
from a purely selfish standpoint it is
one OF teh things that viii most

leges of citizenship. The countries of
Europe have found that they must

CRITICIZE OR O

There is a great difference between
the two words at the head Of this ar.

words .pittless publicity" he certain

honest when they knock" about the
way things are done, but they are far
from judicious or wise. Their honesty
may be the result of plain ignorance,
than the honesty OF a desire to better

RED CROSS NOTES

Miss Mae Austin, who is visiting in
the Twin Cities, called at the office
ri the Northern Division of the Red
Cross and was told that the work sent
in 5y the Brookings Chapter was of the
very best and that the grade of "A

ca.
The headquarters of the Chapter in
the our house was closed Monday
afternoon during the time of the fun
Grad services for Mrs. NJ. +. Wimsey
and flowers were sent in the name OF
the Chapter. Mrs. Wimsey was one of
The hardest workers and having
charge OF the knitting was a great help
IL handling this work. She Will be
greatly missed in the activities of the
chapter.
II is the desire of the Red Cross to
or1anize a salvage corps for the col
lection of old junk that can be sold for
the benefit of the work. This may be
done in Connection with the Junior
Chapter, or through selected boys in
the city. The executive committee
would like to have some man volul-
tecr to take charge of the work. and
request that anyone who can will
offer their services to the Chairman,
Mrs. - rdipp
No entertainments can be given in
the name of the Red Cross without the
sanction Of the Executive committee,
nor a they give that sanction where
there is any division of the profits.
The management must be entirely in
the hands of the Chapter officers, if
the emblem of the Red Cross is used,
or if it is advertised in its name. Any
one desiring to give an entertainment
for the benefit of the Red Cross must
first obtain the consent of the Execu-
tive committee. All monies taken in
at such entertainments must be turned
over to the treasurer of the Red Cross.

bled through the houses, seeing signs
of German occupation everywhere;
Fritz's equipment all around; Fritz's
signs on the walls and cross roads.
1t was a wonderful experience. And
you don't know how happy every one
was there. But happier than the Ger

Of the trip-a German helmet that i

other bit of trench had been mopped

A TRIP

The following is an account which
Mrs. Lawshe has sent to the Register
Of her visit to the Pacific coast last
year, and the many former %Brookings
people that She met on the trip.

western coast-my objective POINT
being Seattle. on leaving Bookings

June | resumed my trip, first stopping
in Spokane. whore | visited relatives.
also Mrs. Geo. Pond, and together we
called on Mrs. Crane at the residence
Of her son, Mr.. VIII Crane. There
were other BOOKINGS people in Spo-
kane. but | did not tarry long enough
to see them. Continuing my journey
to Seattle. Here | visited Mrs. Henry
Lawshe and Mrs. A.. Robinson and
families-bOth ladies now widows
and Mr.. and Mrs. j.. Mcdonald and
Mr.. and Mrs. J. V. Walker. Mr.. and
Mrs. Walker have three sons in the
army, John and Hobart in the navy
and Frank in the land forces-all were
born in Brookings. | spent a day at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. viii Allison.
Mrs. Allison was Mabel Hegeman, and
there | met Mrs. p. J.. Hegeman and
Mrs. Frank Boyden and sons, and Mrs.
Farrar and two daughters, Nellie and
Grace, mother and sisters of Mrs.
Haroldson. Later | met Mrs. Allison.

in the army, ard he in another Brook
ings boy. Mrs. Emma Johnson and
Mrs. Villa C~ampbell-nee Scobey I
met during the summer, a party of us
went to Olympia to visit Mrs. Scobey
and W daughters, Bessie and Helen.
and from there to Tacoma and visited
Mir. and Mrs. Jake Nelson, Mrs. Art
Allen, Mrs. Anna Murphy and daught-
er. Mrs. Heston, and Mr.. and Mrs. Guy
Kelly and little daughter. Later on
NY return UP i spent a ItM udHS III
Portland, there meeting Mrs. Grace
Bullen. Mrs. +. J. Carlisle, Mrs. J. G.
Jenkins and Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin Krem-
or. Besides these | met many other
old friends and relatives from Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota. The scenery all
along the way was new and wonderful
to me, the mountains, the forests and
the water. The soil and climate are
conclusive to nearly everything that
grows. particularly vegetables. fruit
and flowers. The immense vegetable
markets in the cities are one of the
sights to see. and with the timber and
water front they are ideal places for
shipbuilding. The ship yards are an
other one of the sights to be seen. and
we have to wonder if any of those fine
new ships we saw in the process Of
building have been demolished by the
cruel submarine. Doubtless some
of them have. In brief if you want a
pleasant and profitable trip, go west.

He was active in college matters and a

TWO MEN AND A BOAT

Sioux City Journal: Two men,
Congressman Dillon and Congress
man Johnson. were in a boat. 1t was
a leaky, unstable. sinkable craft, rock
ing on a sea that is known to old
sailors as more uncertain than the
~Sargasso, and, like that tract Of the
m~id-Atlantic, is subject to storms from
every direction, and a natural gather

The men had lost their paddles.

hands by the waves of Public Opinion.

which they had taken unhappy de-
parture, they having repented a hun
dred times of having set afoat in the
unreliable skiff, which bore on it's side
the name-Mischance.
Johnson was standing forward, peer

caught a glimpse of Recruiting Sta

land by the flower strewn isthmus OF
