DEAD HERO KNOWN HERE

Word has been received in DeSmet
by Mrs. M. H. Lamont from the war
department, that her son, Earl A. La.
Mont, was killed in action on August
9th. He was n of the draft men
who were trained at Camp Funston
and was a member Of the machine
gun company of the 365th infantry.
He is the first man from Kingsubry
county to give his life for his coun-
try and for freedom. We are informed
that he and his mother resided in
Bookings at one time for a year or
two while Earl attended the high
school. Beside the mother who
mourns his death, two sisters survive.
Brookings will join with Kingsbury
in doing honor to his memory.

Last Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Lamm in Watertown, their daughter,
Teresa Louise, was united in mar
riage to DR.. Hervy Gleason Tarbell
of Bookings. son of DR.. and Mrs. II.
A. Tarbell of WATERFOWL. The Rev.
FIR. w. S. O'Meara performed the sim

about one hundred and fifty relatives
and friends. After the ceremony the
bridal pair received the congratula-
tons of the guests after which all
We're invited to the dining room where
a delicious two-course dinner was
served.
DR.. and Mrs. Tarbell have grown
to maturity in Watertown, and are
both graduates of the local high
school. During the past few years,
Mrs. Tarbell has studied music in
Oberlin and in Chicago, and often de-
lights her friends with her charming
voice. The doctor is a graduate of
the dental college of Northwestern
university, and has an Office at White
and at Bookings, is associated with
DR.. A. A. Harris in the practice of the
dental profession.
DR.. and Mrs. Tarbell left i'm.
mediately in an auto for the Black

ter, Mrs. Russell Jensen, of Brook

totally destroyed by fire. There be-
ing little wind it did not harm the
surrounding buildings, but the entire
household effects Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones are a total loss. This is a great
hardship, as they are a newly welded
couple, being a bride and groom of
less than a year, and were well
equipped for life, not only by their
own efforts, but by the remembrances
of their many friends at the time OF
their marriage. Mrs. Jones is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. H. Rim
gle of this city, and their many friends
have the utmost sympathy in this de-
plorable accident. They saved absO-
lutely nothing except the clothes they
wore at the time. Neighbors f1ocked
to the scene as soon as the alarm was
given them, but nothing could be done
to save the building, which was old.

JUST THINK 1T OVER

"All work and no play"-you know
the rest. After the hard summer ticks
have been put in-when the balmy
harvest days are drawing so near
what is there more pleasant than a
day or two devoted to rest and pleas
ure. Don't deserve it? You bet you
do. The Fair-your Fair-will soon
be here, then's your chance. Better
think it over and be at the County

ABILITY

The following letter from g. friend
Of the Register in Washington tells
interesting new of a former Brook
ings nan whose services and knowl-
edge in the matter of dry farming
conditions have brought from the u.
S. government an appointment that
recognizes his worth and ability. Pro-
fessor ChilcOtt was not only a form
er member OF State College faculty,
but he received his farm education
in the state and at this institution.
Washington, d. c., August "a, 1918.
Editor Register, Bookings, S. D.
Dear Sir: Bookings people will be
interested in learning of the honor
paid to one of her former citizens,
Professor E. C. Chilcott. The French
high commission now in this country
asked our government for a man to
go to Algeria, Morocco. and Tunis,
to investigate and make recommends
tons regarding crop production in
that section. The conditions in those
countries are somewhat similar to
much of our semi-arid regions in this
country.
Because OF his knowledge of dry
land possibilities, the Department of
Agriculture selected MI Chilcott. In
company with Messrs. Scofeld and
Kearney of the Irrigation and Alkali
Investigational Offices. he sailed Aug.
9Th, for France, where conference will
be held before departing for the Afri-
can territory. The land to be select
ed is held by French colonists. A ca
blegram has reached here, announc.
ing the safe arrival of the party in
Paris. 1t is possible that Mr.. Chill
colt will visit his son, Amos. in an
aviation camp in France, while away,
