A GOOD CANDIDATE

As the time comes near when the
republicans must decide who Is the
best man for the office Of sheriff, the
Register desires to call attention to
one Of the candidates in particular.
John Nolan has been for quite a mum
Der Of years a successful farmer near
of the issues in the life Of the com
munity and has been progressive
enough to take an active part in the
things that make for the good of the
county and state. He is outspoken in
his opinions and no N need doubt
for a one where Mr.. Nolan stands
on any question. He is a careful man
and we feel assured would not take
any hasty action as the chief peace
officer Of the county. His patriotism
cannot be questioned and his gener-
osity in giving 10 all Of the %organiza-
tions that are working for the com
mon good at this time is well known
to his friends. The Register believes
that John Nolan would make a good
sheriff for B%rookings county, would
give her citizens good service and do
what he could to save money for the
tax payers. Therefore We recommend
him as a safe man for whom any re-
tl, 11igs.u -Gan- CaGt IIL vote al tho Tpi

THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

Next week the issue Of the Regis
ter will be given entirely to the Red
Cross, every penny of the advertising
and local income going into the treas
ury. This is done to help start the
big campaign for the Second War
Fund. which in this county opens and
closes on Sunday, May 10th.
The most awful war Of the worlds
history is making demands on every.
one, be he rich or poor. great or small.
We all must help shoulder the burden
of putting the Hun in his place. He
may be entitled to a place in the gun,
but not to all of the sunlight Of life.
We are fighting for the rights of man,
and no organization Is doing more
valiant work in this respect than the
American Red Cross. 1t comes again
to the people for another hundred mil.
lion. The needs of the boys in the
trenches. the camps and the field de
mand that we forget self and give to
the limit to furnish the things that
will save them in the days when
wounded and i'll they need attention
1t appeals to our sympathy and at the
same time 1t is one of the best bust
ness propositions ever presented to
those who want to see the material
side alone. The saving from waste
Is the corner stone of a national
economy and the Red Cross does that
to the fullest extent. There should
be no let down by the people OF
Bookings county in the way they sup.
port these necessary demands for
money. We always have done more
than we are asked for and we are
going to do It again. Remember Sun
day. May 10th, is the day when we
tell all the world that Brookings coun.
ty still is lighting for the right with
her dollars, az well as her men.

THE IS

. .
A farmer vas overheard to say that
he and his family were as eager to
get to town on Saturday nights after
the weeks work was done as the city
dwellers were to get cut into the
try on Sundays. Families from oppo-
site sides of the town had a chance
to visit each other and spend the
evenings as fancy dictated. 1t was a
time of relaxation from their busy
cares.
Pity the poor candidate for Office
this year. He tries to interest the
average voter in his candidacy but his
listener is much more interested in
the daily war bulletins and the morn
ing papers. In the various drives for
bonds, war savings stamps, r. c., and
other funds, politics is almost lost
Voters ever neglect to go to the polls
On election days for their interests
are centered in the war and its prob
able outcome. When is primary cleo,
ton day, anyhow? .
The courtesies that automobilists
show to each other are admirable.
They salute as they pass, stop and ex-
tend sympathy or help in time of
trouble, haul a disabled car to town
if necessary and fraternalize by tell
ing their various experiences. But
with the poor pedestrian the case is
different. He has few rights, to all
appearances. He is cumberer Of the
ground and if he does not get out
of the way when a driver honks. it
is his own fault if he gets hurt. What
are speed limit ordinances good for
to some people? More consideration
for the rights of others is one Of the
needs of the hour.

A GOOD, CLEAN CANDIDATE

In supporting Carl o. Trygstad for
states attorney the Register can have
no apologies to make to anyone. He
is a clean cut, we'll trained, well bal
anced young lawyer who has grown
from birth right here in Brookings
county. He is homemade and well
made in all the attributes that are
needed for the office. He has the con-
fidence of all the people who have
done business with him and he has
served the city faithfully for a num-
Der Of years as its city attorney. He
ter qualifications and therefore the
Register can see no reason why he
should not have the republican nom-
nation. We have no fault to find with
the young man who Is opposing him,
as he is clean and upright and well
liked. But Carl has made so many
friends in the years he has lived
among us. has conducted himself in
such a creditable and capable man.
ner and has always shown himself
worthy Of trust, so that the Register
can see no reason for going farther
to seek a man to support. He has all
the help that this paper can give him,
and we have no hesitancy in advising
our friends to do as We shall do. vote
for him at the primary.

ONLY THE BRUNSWICK

Until the coming of The Brunswick, each
photograph had it's own chief attractions.
None had them all.
And mostly, the fame depended on the
make of records with which the instrument
was co-named.
Some folks said all monographs were
alike-all good. And that the records de-
pended upon luck for their tone.
But The Brunswick has gained its nation
wide fame by combining all the better fea-
lures and discarding the troublesome. And
so it is called "All Photographs in One"

Thirtyseven high schools in West

one or moro subjects last year, an
increase Of Y over the previous year.
20 conducted successful lyceum courr
ses; 81 had parent teacher associa-
tions or patrons clubs; SO reported

and reading circles were organized
in so high schools
These are some Of the features OF
the special high school activities as
shown in the annual report of State
Supervisor l.. L. Friend which has
just come from the press Most OF
the other statistical information con
tanned in the report was announced
from time to time as it was COM
piled from the annual statement.
Discussing recent changes in high
school courses OF study, Mr.. Friend
points to a veritabIe revolution
which has taken place in West yir-
ginia standards in the last few
years. The revolution. he declares
has brought about the discarding OF
the old idea that high school
course was merely to prepare stu
dents for college, and has ushered in
the newer purpose of instructing and
draining them TO best st them for life
as citizens and workers in the com,
munity.
