IDITARoD NOTES
E sssHssssssssesss ,

There appears to have been a great exodus of the people from the town and at the time the court party left the district there were said to be only about 15O people in the town of 1ditarod. There would appear to be no scarcity of labor in the district and there is much work being done in the mining districts of Otter, Flat and the streams tributary to Otter.

SKILLED MEN TO ARMY

Three men left Bookings Friday
morning to enter special service in the
army. Leslie Callahan was ent to Ho-
bOken, N. j., whore he will be a car
penter in one of the government ship
yards. Albert Martinson, as a brake
man, and Tobias BorelsOn, Of Volga,
as a fireman, went to indianapolis,
Ind, to join the army railway service.
All three of these men are skilled in
their work and will not have to be
specially trained, though in the case
of the two last named they will have
to undergo some military training.
They are all good men well qualified
to do the work they are undertaking
and will add three more good stars to
the service flag of Brookings county.

CAMP FIRE r

The Dacotah Camp Fire Girls Club
are doing fine work under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Earl Series, their guar.
dian. BY the efforts of S. Selix and
Rev. Paul Roberts. they got rent free
a piece of land in the east part OF
the city and have planted the same
to potatoes and leans. DR.. A. W
Hyde furnished the seed potatoes, but
the girls had to buy the beans.
They are doing all the work them
selves and will keep 1t up until the
garden has matured. This is a fine
thing for the girls and the good that
will come to each of them individually
from the exercise and the outdoor will
be more in value than all the gard
n that could be raised in a whole
year. They plan that all the net pro,
ceeds from the garden shall be given
to the Red Cross and other war funds
that need it. Mrs. Series is a splen'
did young woman to have charge OF
this work and as she has all of the
girls with her devotedly in the labor
and plans. the garden of the club Is
going to be a big thing for those in
terested. Fifteen now belong to the
club and we know that they mean
business to help win the war.

l.. Cobel. The ceremony will occur

Cobel, mother of the groom. Ivan is
now in training at an aviation camp

Of next month, then they will be mar
ried. 1t is very likely that he will
then be assigned to another camp and
the young couple will remain together
until he is ordered abroad for duty.
Mr.. Cobel is a well known young
mar Of this city who has a host of
friends, made by his careful attention
to business as an assistant cashier
of the First National Bank. He is a
fine young man and will have the best
wishes of all Brookings people. Miss
Meadows is a niece of Mrs. ]. L. Tree
and during her occasional visits to
Bookings has made many friends. In
getting into the service, before he was

that he is built of the stun that
makes American fighters the unbeat-
able soldiers Of the world. His fu-
ture work with our lighting line is
bound to reflect more honor on the
city. The Register co~ngratulates
these young people in advance and
wishes them q long and happy life.

A meeting will be held Saturday
evening in the Commercial Club rooms
for the purpose Of organizing a COM
pany of Home Guards. Capt. G.. w.
Roskie. has consented to act in the
matter as the commanding officer.
This is an action that should have
been taken in Bookings a long time
ago. Other towns around us have or.
ganized such companies and they do
a lot to help keep up the loyal senti-
ment of the community. We have a
lot Of young men left at home who
can do this for their country and for
their community. The people will feel
that if we have such a body of or
ganized men in our midst, that we are
to some extent prepared to deal with
unusual situations that might arise.

THE STATE is THE FIRST ONE IN
THE NATION TO GO OVER
THE TOP
BR00MNcS COUNTY DOUBLES ITS QUOTA
$t7,066.50 Is Given BY The People OF
The County For The Care And
Relief OF Soldiers

AT six o'clock on Monday night
South Dakota had W. subscribed its
quota OF the Second War Fund of the
Red Cross by seventy per cent. Asked
to give $3.50, 900. 90, the state comes
across with the magnificent sum Of
$425, 90. The organization was ap-
parently the most perfect of any that
has been gotten together for any of
the war activities. It's record has
never been equaled in the history of
the state. No other portion of the
United States can compete with us in
the rapidity and completeness Of the
way in which we raised the generous
evidence of the patriotism of the peo-
pie of the nation and especially Of
the Sunshine State.
Bookings County was the first
county to report to the state head
quarters with a definite assurance of
what we had done. Asked to raise be-
tween $4,000 90 and SO, 900. 90 the good
people of the county came across with
the glorious sun of $17, 066.5 80. Not
a single precinct, district or division
gave less than what was asked of
them, and their percentage over varied
in size according to the population.
Brookings city was not all in until yes
terday afternoon, as a rivalry between
the First and Fourth wards kept the
good citizens of those precincts dig
ging into their pockets at the call of
the leaders, to help swell the amount
'over the top"
We give below the figures that have
been reported to Chairman Harris,
though no report has been received
from Bruce district, they are credited
with raising their quota. II they come
across with more than that amount
1t will swell the total. We are also
giving the totals OF districts only, and
the totals for each precinct in each
district will be given when the names
of the contributors are published:

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Br%adstreet's for last week
shows activity. War demands. better
weather and brilliant crop prospects
stimulate all lines. Many lines show
scarcity. Sales a matter Of supply
rather than price. Wholesale trade
quieter in a few lines. but gains over
last year at most markets. Intertrad'
ing between jobbers lacking dry goods
prices up. Good crop reports more
general than for years. Clearings ex'
coed last year. March and quarterly
railway earnings show larger gross
but smaller net. Building slack, ex'
cept for government purposes.

The Third Group Of the State Bank
ers' Association met in Brookings Fri
day, holding their morning and af
ternoOn sessions in the assembly
room at the city hall. The morning
session at eleven O'Clock vas devoted
to business and at 1890 they ad.
journed to the Episcopal church
where the ladies Of st. Paul's Guild
served a fine dinner. After that a
drive was taken to the college and the
state equipment carefully inspected,
aided by the courteous members of
the faculty in attendance. Again
about 2:30, they met in the city hall
and listened to some very strong and
interesting addresses. The following
is the program of that meeting:

partment, S. d. S. c., agricultural

Frank G.. Odell, Secretary Federal
Land Bank, Omaha, THE Banker and

The session adjourned in time to
allow those who desired to return to
their homes on the evening train. 1t
was a very successful meeting, hay
ing a much larger attendance than
ever before in this group. One thing
that made it valuable was the pres
ence OF a party of twenty-five bank
and financial officials, who are visit
ing each group meeting. They travel
in a private car and were headed by
President Cone and Secretary Darling
VI II ohatC <AoooIluIloIl. III llC par
ty were representatives from Chicago,

Brookings greatly enjoyed this visit
from these gentlemen and trusts that
they took with them a good impress
sion of III thrift and activity.
Frank G. Odell of the Federal Land
