mission. All who can spare articles
Of apparel are requested to bring them
to the Library, lists will be posted in
the Red Cross rooms and in the Ii
brary of the kind needed and all
brought should be useful and service
able. Don't cumber space with rags
and useless garments. There is a
great and crying need for these clothes
and we who are well dressed should
be able to give somthing to this wor-
thy cause. Those who are needing
clothes are in this condition that we
might not be sufferers like them. The
Red Cross begs of you to be generous
in this matter and come to the rescue.

A FAITHFUL

Sometimes it is necessary for a man
to die or move out of a town before
any recognition is taken of the value
he has been to the community. A few
kind words to the living are worth
more than eulogies over the dead. This
is just a preface to calling the atten-
ton of the people of Brookings to the
fact that in the person of Nels Lar.
ser engineer at the power plant, we
have a man who for nearly fifteen
years has been giving the city the
maximum of service for a Whole lot
less than the maximum Of pay. Every
person who uses power knows by the
work of his machinery when Nels is
on the job. There is always a steady
flow of power, and it is not on his
shift that the machines have to wait
while the fireman doctors up the fire.
During these years he has been doing
this faithful service without making
any particular noise about ii, or call
Jig attention to himself. 1t has lust
been a case Of quiet and effective at
tention to duty that has brought Nels
up to his present high standard of eff
ficiency. 1t is seldom that a city has
so dependable a servant. one who
the highest respect from
every citizen, one of whom no one can
be jealous or envious. Perhaps we
might qualify the last statement by
that anyone can have an hon
envy of any man who has been as
faithful a servant of the public, as has
Nels Larsen. We certainly wish him
long life and health. and we hope that
he will always be on the job as long
we live in Brookings.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

Every citizen Of Brookings county.
as well as in the whole Ninth Federal
Reserve district, will be allotted a def
mite sum of bonds which he is expected
to buy in the coming of the third Lib
erty Loan drive. This allotment will be
made by the federal organization and
not by ones neighbors who sometimes
think they know more about his bust
ness than he does himself. This allot-
ment, as stated last week, will be based
upon each mans property value. Con-
sideration will be given to his pre-
vious support Of other loans and war
activities. The ollotments, however.
will not be public property, but will
rest between each citizen and the Off
cial whose business it will be to collect.
At any rate, the word comes that every
m must buy according to his ability,
and that there is to be no lodging the
issue.

NO LISTS OF KILLED

At the suggestion Of the French gov
eminent the United States has decided
not to issue to the public press the
addresses of those killed, wounded or
i'll on the battle front.
Basing its position on the objections
the French government made to Gen.
Pershing against the American method
of issuing casualty lists, the depart
ment intends to meet objections in con
gress and from the public with the an,
that the old system betrays val
liable military information to the en-
envy, and the fact that nearest rela-
tives of soldiers are officially notified
hours before they could get the infor-
from the newspapers.
Pointing out that the French publish
no casualty list at all but merely mott
fy the relatives, war department Off
give as their explanation of tho
new move that the enemy by scanning
the complete casualty lists as they
have been previously issued is enabled
to piece out a fair idea of the identity
of the troops confronting him.

AURORA r RED

We refer to the aurora borealiS. MOI
our n%eighbor on the east, for that law
abiding community would not stand
for the red stuff again. But the other
aurora did on last Thursday evening,
lighting up the northwestern sky in a
wonderful name and being striped
with a wide band of red. This color
scheme is something hat the astrono-
mers say has never been seen before.
The only explanation that seems plau-
sible is the desire Of the heavenly bod
les to array themselves on the right
side of the great world war and fling
wide the red, white and blue of liberty.
1t was a most gorgeous display of
light and color and it lasted for a num-
Der Of hours, though the red disap-
peared along toward ten thirty. Re-
ports in the dailies say that it was
from the Rocky Mountains to the
Atlantic coast, and was visible down
south where the northern lights"
are unknown. All the immediate eff
feet it had was to disturb the tele-
graph wires, and the trouble lasted in
to the next day. Some people are say
ing hat the storm of Friday and Sat
urday was the result Of the electrical
display.

HOME BOY INJURED
BUT IS WELL AGAIN
ERNEST V. WILLS CADET IN AVA.
TON SECTION SMASHED
IN FRANCE
LETTER TO MOTHER SAYS NOT TO WORRY
Highest Praies For Work Of Hospitals
And Surgeons In Our
Camps Abroad

Many rumors have been around the
city regarding a report hat Ernest V.
Wills was badly hurt, and in order to
correct the different stories that have
been afloat Mrs. Wills permits us to
publish the letter she received from
her son telling of the incident. THIS is
all she knows and from the one of
the letter we are inclined to think that
Ernest is good for lots more war.
Somewhere in France,
February 10, 1918.
Would have written sooner but as I
got all smashed up as usual and spent
some time in the hospital | sort of neg
lected to write. Am out again now
and feeling fine, as they sure give a
fellow fine treatment in the hospitals
around here at least. All the scars |
got won't show and | guess | needed
the rest anyway so everything is all
o. X. Now you don't want to worry
about me or any of the gang for when
anything happens to us if the regular
army doctors can't handle the case
they have on hand in these hospitals
some of the greatest surgeons in the
world and any of us that are hurt
really get better treatment than If we
were in the States. Have written a
letter to Henry Getty some time ago so
if he don't get it why tell him my atten-
ton was on the matter at least.
Will close now but will write more
later as soon as | can find time. Now
be good and don't worry. Have you
moved from the old house yet or are
you at the same place? The first
thing you know | will be coming home
and won't know where to find the
house. With love,
Cadet Ernest V. Wills.
