LIB DAY

President Wilson has designated to.
morrow, Friday, April Goth, as Liberty
Day, and asks that all the nation as.
semble in their communities and liber.
ally pledge themselves to support the
nations cause. Patriotic demonstra-
lions are to be held all over the coun-
try in every city, town and hamlet.
He excuses all employees of the gov
eminent that can be spared and asks
that beginning with noon that others
give up their business to help make
this day a grand success for the Third
Liberty Loan. No plans have been
made for any exercises in Brookings
as the bond workers have been too
busy getting over the top to lay plans
for the day. 1t is expected that every
one will give some observance to the
thought of the day, and the loan com
mittee will spend some of the time
checking up their lists and seeing that
no one is left out of the opportunity to
buy bonds.

SALVATION ARMY OVER TOP

The solicitation of funds for the
work of the Salvation Army at the
front, in Brookings county, was very
successful. With a quota of 800 as
signed to the Brookings territory they
work so resolutely that they went over
the top and collected $711.50. For the
first two days of the campaign there
were several officers of the army here,
but the bulk of the canvass was made
by the Adjutant and Ensign Whitson
Of Watertown. These two sisters are
conducting the work in Watertown and
If the energy they displayed in the
campaign in Brookings is any criterion
of their usual energy, it is not to be
wondered that the army is doing such
a good work in our neighbor city.
They desire the Register to return
thanks to all those who were so gen.
erous in giving to this cause, and the
kindly people Of this county will al.
ways have a place in the hearts Of
these two workers, who labored so sue
~cessfully in u midst.

MEETING

Last evening at the Lee school house
in Preston township a meeting was
addressed by Superintendent Blakely
and Prof. w. NJ. MAR on the practi-
bility Of a consolidated school. Pres
ton township has to have new school
facilities and this matter is being care
fully considered. Mr.. Blakely has
worked out a plan for the adaptation
Of the central idea to this township
and there is very much to be said in
its favor. The consolidated school idea
is growing and the many advantages
it offers, at the very small additional
cost in actual money is a great item in
it's favor. A twelve grade school with
a corps of teachers will make any
township more profitable and the land
more valuable. Wherever tried these
schools are proving a decided success

SOME FINE

At the Fad theater Monday evening
in addition to the regular films, a
series of pictures taken by Prof. Hut
ton were thrown upon the screen.
These were Of Company c and the
scenes attendant upon their departure
for camp. and gave most life-like views
of the company marching on Main
street and the cars as they looked just
before the departure. Views of the
little girls strewing flowers, of Captain
Weber and wife. and of the parade of
the first draft bunch that went from
Bookings to Funston, made up other
parts of the special pictures. Between
pictures slides, prepared by Mr.. Hut,
ton, were thrown on the screen giving
arguments for the Liberty Loan and
for food saving. These views had a
deep and peculiar interest to Brook
ings people and it is hoped that they
will be shown again and at other thea
tiers.

A FIN & PLAY

The high school play at the Opera
House Friday evening was n Of the
very best amateur efforts ever present
ed to a Bookings audience. IL any
one was skeptical about hat matter
they would have had their views af-
hrmed after seeing the presentation
Of 1T Pays to ADVERTISE" 1t would
be unfair to give special mention to
q few of the cast who delivered the
goods in such a capable way, but we
must speak Of the absolutely natural
acting Of Hall Miles. Hall was in
imitable and carried the house with
him in every movement. We appreci-
ate the work of the others and pick
out Hall for just a special mention
because he could be called the one
star that was just a little brighter in
an all-star cast. For young folks they
acted with a real knowledge of their
parts that is seldom seen in grown-ups
or paid actors. We congratulate the
entire company and especially their
coach, Miss Ann Wilson. Miss Will
son is doing good work as a coach and
is entitled to the credit for the sue
cess that is being developed in that
line at the high school.

A EARTHQUAKE

All of southern California and part
of western Arizona and Utah were
shaken Sunday at 1882 p. m. by an
earthquake which wrecked virtually
all buildings and residences in Hemet
and San J%acinto. two inland towns
forty-iive miles southeast of Riverside,
Calf, and caused minor property
damage in practically every town and
city. one man, Frank Il. Darnell. was
killed in a panic at Santa Monica,
when he fell off a pier.
Two more earthquake shocks shook
Hemet and San Jacinto Monday at
9:07 a. M. and OLA a. m. The earth
movements seemed more pronounced
at Hemet than San Jacinto.
The one person named above Is the
only death reported. DR.. l.. G.. Borst
of Bookings, has a brother living at
Hemet, but a telegram from him on
Monday stated that his family was un-
hurt. X. b. Utigard, a brother of O. b.
Utigard. our fellow townsman, also re
sides at Helmet.

ASSURED COUNTY
IS OVER THE TOP
REPORTS MADE FROM THE DIFF.
FERENT TOWNSHIPS SUPPORT
THIS STATEMENT
CHAIRMAN SPURuNG THANKS HELPERS
Figures OF The Amounts Of Bonds
Sold Cannot Be Given At This
Time, Full Details Later

There has been no full report to the
county chairman from any of the
townships or cities in the county of
the full amount of bonds sold, there
fore it is impossible to give out the
figures that everybody wants to know.
The report. however. shows that every
township, town, village and city have
gone owe the top and not a single
blue card has been used. There may
have been cases where persuasion was
necessary, but the general report is
that nearly all did their duty as soon
as approached. Brookings county was
called on to sell $735,000. 90 worth of
bonds and the figures now in show
that over $S75, 100000 have been dis
posed Of with the prospects that the
total will be nearer 5000 .000. 90. The
Register desires to be conservative on
this matter and will not publish figures
that are not supported by facts. These
statements given above are vouched
for by f.. l.. Squirting. county chair
man. and we believe that he is very
safe in his estimate.
1t was hoped to make arrangements
to have all the workers in the county
assemble tomorrow for a lunch and
congratulation conference, but it could
not be arranged. Mr.. Squirting plans
that such a meeting will be held soon
and at the same time it may be posi-
BILE to hold a general celebration of
the loyalty of the county. Mr.. Spurl-
ing asks the Register to thank In his
name every citizen who supported the
loan, the workers who did such eff.
cient service and the general public
for the many instances of help that
were given. He will do it personally
as he meets people, but wants all to
know that he appreciates the help that
has made it possible for Brookings
county to come through with cOlOrs
flying.

COLLEGE BAND SUCCESS

The Flandreau Enterprise gives the
following account of the College Band
concert there last week. 1t is justly
complimentary and we are glad to read
such a pleasing review of their work:
The South Dakota State College
Military band scored a decided success
Wednesday evening at the Crystal
theater when the members appeared
in full military uniform and gave a
concert for the benefit Of the local Red
Cross. Long before the concert hour
the seats were all sold and when the
concert began standing room was at
a premium. Many persons were IN
able to gain admission. Anticipation
was the keyword of the assembled au-
dience and when the curtain rose a
spontaneous burst of applause greeted
the performers.
Prof. Carl Christensen is a leader
of ability and knows Just how to make
his boys get the music out of their in
struments. His musical control is ex-
cellent and the players all respond to
the leaders call. The program was
we'll arranged, giving variety and hold
ing attention. The Grand American
Fantasia was especially enjoyed by
the audience, many familiar melodies
being interviewer in an entertaining
manner. In melodies from Mariana"
the basses got in some good work,
while the comets. clarinets. saxa-
phones and other instruments all took
steal effects and displaying the capabil-
tiles of the band. The march, "Semper
Fidelis," gave the audience a taste of
real martial music and the players al
most made one see the marching
troops.
THE soloists were at their best and
delighted their hearers. Miss Salt
marsh is an adept with her trombone,
showing skill and composure in hand
ling her instrument. Miss Carlisle
has a pleasing voice and puts soul in
to her singing. For an encore she
sang when the Boys Come Home"
Chief Musician II. II. Pickett, was de
servedly popular with the audience
and is clever with the cornet. Miss
Burrows is a sympathetic accompan-
list"
