WOMEN ARE REGISTERING

The women OF BrooklngS county are
responding quite promptly to the call
to register in the nation wide cam
paign for the listing of to do
work to help in this great crisis. Mrs.
r. l.. Patty. county chairman, is much
pleased with the way the work is pro,
crossing and is confident that by the
t~wenty-irst Of February, when the
campaign closes. that. Brookings
county will have made . splendid show
ing among the counties of the state.
While no service is asked or ex-
pected Of any woman, except what she
is willing to give freely, it is desired
that every woman register that a full
census Of the woman strength of the
nation be complete. To the woman
who believes that her sex should take
their place on an equal footing with the
men of the country, this is an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the fact that she
has qualifications to enter into the
economic ranks of citizenship. To the
woman who desires to conine her ac-
tivities to the home and the family
life it also offers an opportunity to
show the vast number Of who
are ready 10 give their home work
some measure of activity to assist the
country In a time When every effort
must be exerted to keep our effective
ness al the highest pitch. 1t is hoped
that no woman in the county, no mat
ter how humble her station or how
busy she may be with the work of the
home. will fail to register in this great
census of our woman war strength.

Y. M. c. A. LECTURE COURSE

A most artistic recital was given
Thursday evening by Mr.. Thuel Burn
ham, PIANIST and Miss Augusta Lenska,
contralto, as a number of the y. NJ. G.
that the course has presented many
splendid numbers, this was one of the
most enjoyable events We have had the
pleasure of attending in some time.
Mr.. Burnham's playing was impress
siye from its authoritative style and
virility. While his program was not a
heavy one, his interpretations of the
Beethoven German Dances and the
Six Nalses of Brahms were sufficiently
convincing of his powers. The Chopin
A Flat Polonaise as well a. that of
M~acDowelrs were very brilliantly rem
dered and the Russian dance by
Moussorgsky was especially attractive.
As an encore Mr.. Burnham gave a de-
fightful rendition of the Schumann Ro-
n in f Sharp, as well as the Cho-
pin Nalse Brillante and a mazurka.
Miss Lensky's portion of the pro-
gram was equally delightful. While
she was at her best in the dramatic
element, particularly Homer's Song
of the Shirt and Habanera, her work
in Ellen Wright's "Hayfelds and But
terfies,' Rogers The Star" Wecker-
Inns "Jeunes Fillettes" and SquireS'
In an Old Fashioned Town" were par
ticularly enjoyable. The Mignon aria
was also a very artistic selection. Miss
LenSky found a very sympathetic and
artistic accompanist in Miss Burrows
and was pleased to share with her the

COLLEGE BAND CONCERT

The State College Military Band has
passed a milestone, its program
of Friday night being its sixteenth an
nual concert.
Notwithstanding the loss of some
OF It's former members who have gone
to war, Mr.. Christensen has been
able to produce "A program IF
very high grade and his musicians
have produced it well. The
wood wind section is especially strong
this season, but excellent work was
done by the tubas. baritones and the
trumpets. Perhaps the most exact
ing number of the program was the
Mariana Fantasia, and the operate
selections arranged by Safranek
which were afforded splendid interpre-
tations. The lighter numbers We're
exceedingly popular and included the
Overture Queen for n Day" La Bar
caroIle," Waltz Suite, Selections from
"Maytime" and the Brahms Hungarian
Dance number seven. No little credit
is due for the tonal effects of the cx-
ceedingly difficult Adagio from the
"Moonlight' Sonata.
OF the sOlOists, Miss Vena Bailey,
cornetist, of Lake Preston, made a
very creditable Offering in Brooks The
Message" Her tones were clear and
she displayed considerable ability in
passages of intricate tonguing.
Miss Mae Saltmarsh, trombonist,
needed no introduction to the college
community, being a member of the or
chestra and having been often heard
"A fine tone quality and proved herself
a very proficient musician.
Miss Marion Carlisle gave a delight
full rendition of the aria from San
son and Delilah" her encore was a
benz. Her voice is of great beauty and
always affords US extreme ~pleaure.
We cannot too often reiterate u
appreciation of the work of Mr.. Chris
Jensen. There is perhaps no other
musical organization which appeals to
the public as does the band and Mr..
Christensen has done his utmost to
give US the best in the northwest,

u. S. RESERVE SERVICE

The Department of Labor is now as
sembling all the men who will enlist
in the Public Service Reserve, so that
there will be a list of the entire
country from which to call men to take
positions and do work where it is the
most needed. AS all cannot serve in
the first line of the fighting forces,
there are many places that such older
or incapacitated men can fill that will
release the OUNCE generation for the
front. By getting the men Of the ma
ton aligned it will be easier to fill
the places of those who have to go.
This is not a compulsory enlistment,
but they want men who will enlist to
do the real work when they are called
on. DO no. enlist just to show that
you are a patriot, but be ready to go
if the country needs you in some
place away from home. This service
has lust been started this last week in
the city. and there have been a number
of enlistments. There are many class
es of places where men are going to
be needed. and the government wants
to know where it can turn at any mo-
ment to find a man to fill a vacant
place. If o are at liberty and will
60 anywhere to help your country in
a non-combatant way. then call at the
Commercial Club rooms and see E.
L.. Squirting, the secretary, who is the
enrolling officer for Bookings.

FUNERAL OF JAMES REvELL

The funeral of James Revell occur
red at the college auditorium last Sat
urday afternoon at two o'clock. The
large assembly hall was filled with the
relatives and friends, among the latter
being many of the students of the in
stitution, with whom he was a favorite.
The service was in charge of Presi-
dent Perisho, who spoke feelingly of
his college life. and Prof. A. s. Harding
and Harold Hoover, president of the
senior class, also made fitting remaks,
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
j. F. Bryant, a minister of the Baptist
church. The music being furnished
by a selected choir under the direction
of Prof. Garrett Hedge. After the
services the body was taken to Green
wood cemetery for interment, accom-
panied by a large number of relatives
and friends.
James Revell was born at the well
known Revell farm, south Of the city
in the edge Of Moody county, on Au-
gust 22nd, 1895. By the time he was
old enough to enter school Mr.. and
Mrs. Revell had moved to Bookings
and lived in the home Mr.. Revell built
on south Sixth emu James entered
and continued as a scholar until he
graduated from the high school. Three
years ago last fall he entered State
College and was taking the course in
scientific agriculture. If death had not
interviewed he would have graduated
this spring. He was a good student
and a hard worker going thoroughly
into all the farm studies as he vas in
charge of the big farm interests that
had been left at his fathers death
some years before. His future was one
full of bright prospects. and there is
would have been one of the repreSen-
tative farmers Of this community. He
had the ability and was getting the
scientific education to back that abil-
ity up. As a student he was active in
all the things of college life that go to
draw out the best there is in the man
who wants to win. A member of the
football team, he was always in the
thick Of the fight and his playing was
always team work, never a thought
of self, but the ultimate end point in
view. He is going to be missed in the
class of which he was a bright member
and when the day come for their grad
uation, his classmates will remember
that his presence in the line waiting
for a diploma would have made com
plete the good record of the '1S's.
Faculty and students Joined with
the many friends of the deceased in
paying tribute to him, and the friends
he has made during his useful life In
the community join with them in ex-
tending sympathy to the bereaved
family.
A rumor has been current that his
fatal illness was caused by being
gored by a steer he was handling dur
ing the holidays. At the request of
the family the Register desires to cor
rect this idea and say that while he
suffered some from this encounter, his
death came from pyemia, a disease
which m from bacterial infection
and effects the liver and lungs. Every
thing was done for him that could be
done, and that he had to die was an
other of the mysteries of life that can
never be explained.
