S. A. T. C.. ~DEMOBILtZE

DR.. G. L. Brown, acting president
of the State College, is in receipt of
a telegram yesterday, Wednesday,
from the war department committee
on education, saying that the com
handing officers Of all units of the S.
A. T. c., both sections A and B, have
been directed to demobilize and dis
chaiee che men, c~ommenciAs the
week Of December LIST. With a view
of completing their discharge by De-
cember 21st." This will have an al
most immediate bearing on the status
of nearly all the students at the col
lege and DR.. Brown expects to be able
at once to take up with these students
an immediate readjustment of their
student relationship. By another week
a definite program will be prepared
for the chance in the college rela-
tionship.

WILL NEED SEED CORN

According to a statement issued by
the director of the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station, seed corn will be
short in that state. Early frOsts
caught the corn in the northern part
of the state and even in the southern
part, so that very little corr was saved
for seed before this frost. The state
appeals to South Dakota and Mime
sofa to save sufficient supplies of sur
plus seed, so that they may be able
to get additional stock next spring for
their seeding. South Dakota and Min
nesota were very fortunate in the saw
ing of seed, in Minnesota a special
drive for seed being made in early
September. Calls like this one from
North Dakota will no doubt come from
other states and seed corn selection
should be pushed to the limit, as it
will pay a splendid return to the farm
ers who do put such a program into
action.

THAT BIG SALE

A fuller report from the big stock
sale held by Thomas Maher is to the
effect that in all thirty-three head of
cattle and forty-eight head of swine
we're disposed of. Thirty seven
months old pigs averaged a price of
$108.OO, the highest being paid was
$1S7. so. Ten cows all went at a price
of over 100000, the highest of these
being $332.50. The prize winning bull,
Brookings DeKol Cornucopia, was Of
fered, but as the highest bid was only
$3.50, Mr.. Maher bought him in with
a bid of $1,000 90. AS an indication of
what the raising of pure bred cattle
means to the farmer, this sale was
one of the best illustrations that could
be offered. 1t is a sure indication Of
what will be done oftener in the future
and encourages those now in the bust
ness Of stock breeding to keep on with
their good work. 1t is also an incen-
tive to others to give this great source
of income a try-out and thus do their
part in bringing the county and the
state up to the high point that their
natural resources entitle them to oc-
cupy.

WILL YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP PROUDLY
WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME
Brookings County to Raise Increased
Quota for United War Work
Campaign, Dec. 2d-9th
The City Canvass Will be Made on Sunday,
December 8th--be Prepared

The County Commissioners gave the original quota
for the county out of the county treasury, but the fifty
per cent increased quota must be given by popular
subscription. Chairman A. E. Bunday has the county
organized in districts and precincts. The date of the
campaign is the week beginning December End and all
cash is expected to be in the hands of the treasurer at
once after December 9th, the day this drive closes.
Everyone of the seven big organizations engaged in
var work, except the Red Cross, will participate in this
money. 1t goes to help your boy and my boy, for
comforts, amusements, and necessities, in every camp,
trench and post in the big American Army. Will you
do your share, will you be able to look our boys in the
face as being behind the man behind the gun, y full
one hundred per cent.
This fifty per cent increase calls for $12,500, a per capita amount
of eighty cents for the whole population Of the county. Each of the
eight districts are managed by a chairman who selects the dates and
manner of raising the money in his community. These men are as
follows: Brookings City, Prof. w. M MAR: Volga, A. H. Norvod;
Bruce, Roy Skarloken and Do Omodt; White, C. w. Koenig; Elkton
and Aurora, Rev. F. X. Dooey; Bushnell, +, H. Felberg, and Medary,
A. H. Kinefeter. The canvass in the city of Brookings will be made
on Sunday, December Sh and will be thorough and complete. The
First National Bank Of Volga is the treasurer of the county fund and
it is desired to have all the money turned in there at once after the
close of the campaign on December 9th. 1t is the purpose of the COM
mittee to ask cash entirely, a the giving of pledges postpones the
elimination of the work. Mr. Bunday has completed a organization
of the county that will sweep every corner, NJ one will be neglected
and the expectation is that every citizen and resident will give as
his e will permit for this great effort to give tangible support
to the boys who re fighting our battles and bearing our burdens.
The state campaign is growing wonderfully, almost all is now in,
and Mr.. G. J Flitue, who became treasurer of the state committee
when G. F. Knappen resigned, states that there is no chance but what
South Dakota will come UP to her usual reputation for being a han
ner state in every good and laudable work.
The county committee feels that no special appeal is necessary
with our people. Their accustomed generosity will bring the desired
result but one thing must be remembered Bookings County must
not fail in making good her reputation that has been sustained 81
nobly in the past. Every shoulder to the wheel and the small burden
for US to assume will be rolled away along the road of success to the
endeavors Of our boys in the camp, trench and field.

TRAIN TIME

Last Sunday a ley time-card went
into effect on this division Of the c. &
N. w. Railway. The train from the
east arrives twenty minutes later, at
6:25, and the one in the evening from
the same direction also arrives twenty
minutes later, at 1920. The one going
east in the morning departs eight min
utes earlier, at 10:40, thus giving a
little more time for the connections
at Elkton. The one going east in the
evening Is at the same old time of
1880. In the morning the train for
Watertown leaves at 6:25, immediate
ly on the arrival of the n from the
east. The time from Watertown in
the evening Is the same, 1875. The
freight that formerly went east about
noon, now leaves at eight in the morn
ing. The time Of the mixed train be-
tween here and Watertown is the
same, as Is also that of the freight
going west in the morning.

OLD T BURIED

Last week the Register announced
the death at Long Beach, Calf, Of
our old friend and earlier settler,
CLAUS Dybdahl. His earthly remains
were sent to Bookings and arrived
Monday, the funeral being held Tues
| day afternoon at two O'Clock from the
Lutheran church. The stores were
closed at the request of the mayor and
e. large number of people assembled
to honor his memory. After the ad-
dress by the Rev. B. A. Benson and
appropriate music, the remains were
laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery
beside his loved wife. He had many
friends in the city and county and
they all join in sympathy with his
three sons in doing honor to a worthy
| citizen, a good father and husband and
an honest Christian gentleman.
Born in V~ardahlen, Norway, Septem-
Der 25th, 1914, CLAUS Dybdahl was
united in marriage with Miss Bina
Troseth in 1865. In 1884 Mr.. Dybdahl
came to the United States and after
a little investigation settled in Brook

The next year his wife and three sons
came over and from then until 1903

TAT OF A

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows it very irregular. Shifting from
val to peace brings vast total of gov
eminent cancellations, but much re-
leased capacity is turning readily to
civilian needs. Price uncertainties
hold back civilian buying for distant
periods, but cool weather and waning
of epidemic help retail trade north
and west. South notes that check to
cotton trade and lumber buying makes
for quiet. Removal of embargoes on
exports expected to relieve cotton sit
patton. Clearings larger than last
year, but below 1916. Failures few.
Stock, grain and cotton markets show
little animation.

Sioux City Journal-Military critics
admitted before the undertaking was
more han launched that the task of
capturing the Argonne forest was one
of the hardest problems of the battle
front. 1t fell to the lot Of American
soldiers to accomplish that task. They
went at the job in American fashion.
They met obstacles which seemed in
s~urmountable, but pluck, initiative and
daring accomplished what formula
said was near impossible. Troops
that, compared with the veterans Of
Europe might be called recruits. drove
the crack divisions of Germany from
this position when ~entrenched in the
strongest defenses the enemy could
plan.
diers met the determined advance of
the enemy in what he intended should
be his victorious advance on Paris
and turned the tide OF success that
had been running strong for Germany
into a greater one for the allies.
Americans set the pace for the adj
vance in the fighting during late July
and early August north OF the Marne.
They had their share in all the big
advances since. They have never TAX
en- a backward step. Sometimes they
have halted, but if one method did not
accomplish the desired purpose. other
methods were tried until the objective
was reached. They have eve failed.
The allies looked with hope upon
the coming of the American army, but
did not expect great accomplishments
until the men became seasoned veter-
ans. The Canadians of all the troops
in France anticipated the accomplish
ment of the Americans. They knew
the spirit and the intelligence which
makes them great soldiers. No under
taking has been too difficult, no task
too hard for them. They have proven
their ability and the comrade nations
generously accord them the credit to
which they are entitled. The enemy
feared them because OF their invinci-
bility and their determination, as much
as for their vengeance for wrongs done
by that enemy.
