julius Claven, formerly a merchant

not only well, but %favorably known
to a very large circle of people who

more able to do this behind the

the business ranks of Bookings and

takes. Mr.. Locke has always leaned
toward the scientific side of the drug
business and has kept up to the mark
in all the latest advances of the sci
nee. He is a student and thinker
and with his experience and practical
knowledge will make an instructor

ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE

DR.. Ellwood c. .Perisho, president of
State College, has been granted a
leave of absence for one year, and DR..
q. l.. Brown, vice president and dean
of the college, is the acting president
and in charge of all college affairs
Prof. III. b. Mathews has been elected
by the faculty as vice-dean and will
assist DR.. Brown in the executive man
agement. Both of these gentlemen
are trained executives and the col,
lege will not suffer in the least dur.
ing h time that Dean Brown is at
the head of the institution. DR..
Perisho has been in poor health for
some time and there have been ru.
mors that he would have to seek n
rest from all active duties. He Is
now in Indiana recuperating and the
Register is unable to learn of his
plans for spending the granted time.
With the new regulations concerning
college students State College is
bound to assume an important place
in the educational circles of the
state, n even more important than
many of the other schools have been
willing to grant her. The local peo-
pie rejoice in any event that will
make the institution located here of
more value to the young men and
women of the state. Our pride in
State College is not altogether selfish,
all suspicious to the contrary notwith-
standing.

not fix his w sentence and must
take what the court decided was COM
ing to him, he changed his mind and
pied not guilty. He was remanded
for trial at the next term of court and
is trying to get bail through the Per-
sian consul at Chicago. Johanan had
promised his attorney, Mr.. Matson,
that he would plead guilty and take
his sentence, hut appeared to fear
that Judge Skinner would not accept
all of his stories of extenuating cir
cumstances. He is back in the local
bastile and will there remain until

Provost Marshal General Crowder
yesterday issued an order that all
young men who have become twenty
n years of age since June 9Th must
register on Saturday. August oath. ac-
cording to the Associated Press dis
patches. AS about one-fourth of a
year has passed since the last regis
tration there should be about one
fourth as many register next week.
In Bookings county there were 1872
registered, and that would on the same
ratio give us 33 more men for use to
fill the September call. In the whole
state there were 5000 registered in
June and that would approximately
give South Dakota 1850 more men af.
ter Saturday of next week. The pur-
pose of this registration, as given in
the dispatch from Washington, is to
add quickly to the already almost ex.
hausted class one. Only armed men
in the armed service of the United
States are exempt from this order.
1t has been also announced from
Washington that even il the bill for
the registration of men between the
ages of Is and As does pass congress
this month that September 5th can
not be the date for such registration,
as it is a primary election day in sew
eral Of the states. Some other date
will have to be fixed after the bill be-
a law.
