STATE OF A

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows continued activity. War work
speeding up. Government needs more
than ever before in evidence. Civilian
demands subordinated, but needs of
population cause insistent demand.
Shortages of goods and labor more
plainly seen. Extension of draft
points to further tension and pres
sure on n~on-essential lines. Excellent
crop reports a ource OF hope and
confidence. Price regulation of food
indicated by supply conditions on
threshold of large new yields. Clear
ings still exceed last year. Failures
fewer.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES

The exercises of Memorial Day oc-
Cured this year in Brookings with
undiminished interest, but somewhat
interferred with by the weather not
being of the best. The assembly OF
the patriotic orders occurred at the
court house and the parade proceeded
by the sidewalk through the school
grounds to the Federal Building,
where it was reviewed by the G. A. r,
from the steps, the front of the build
ing being suitably decorated.
The G.. A. R., S. o. ", w. R. c., Red
Cross, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls
and the firing squad, headed by the
band, marched then to the south OF
Main street and were taken to Green
wood cemetery in autos by the cltl'
n where the graves were decorat'
ed and a volley fred. A goodly mum
Der of autos also conveyed others to
the city of the dead.
In the afternoon the Opera House
was we'll filled with the members OF
the patriotic orders and many others
who came together to observe the sen
timent of the day in accordance with
the proclamation of President Wilson
The program was carried out as Civ
en- in the Register of last week. Every
number contributed it's share to the
solemnity of the occasion the ad
dress of the Rev. /. M. Hargett was
calculated to inspire in the hearts o.
his hearers a better and deeper pa
triotism. Lieut.. Bracket, who was
home on a %furlough, also gave a very
patriotic talk. Despite the ~unfavorable
weather the ceremonies OF the day
and the solemnity of the anniversary
were participated in by the people o.
Brookings with a spirit that show:
the intense loyalty and self sacrinc'
of our citizens. The Red Cross II
uniform was an inspiring sight. ant
when we think of the devotion OF tn
women In this work we cannot SCI
anything but victory for the arms o.
the allied nations.

RAILROAD RATES GO UP

If you don't believe that we are at
war, just travel or ship some freight.
Director General McAdoo has ordered
railroad freight rates in the United
States raised Is per cen and passen-
ger rates increased to 3 cents a mile
from the present basis Of about 2h
per cent. 1t is estimated that the in
creases will bring between $500 ,000,-
900 and 5000, OO0, 900 to the railroads
within the mex year. 1t represents by
far the biggest increase in the history
of the railroads.
The new freight charges which COW
err both class and commodity rates be-
come effective June 25, and the pas
senger increase will go into effect June
10.
AS issued under authority granted
by the railroad act to President Will
son acting through the director gen.
eral, the order wipes out all intra-state
lower rates effective on either freight
or passenger traffic. Travellers in
standard sleeping and parlor cars are
required to pay fare of 3h cents a
mile in addition to Pullman fares, and
in tourist sleeping cars 81 cents.
Pullman rates remain the same.
Communication and other suburban
rates on railroads are increased ten
per cent. Fares on electric lines are
not effected. Special excursion mile
age, convention, and special rights
with a few exceptions are discontinued
privileges such as stopovers and side
trips are abolished, and excess bag
gage charge are increased. Both
freight and passenger rates on boat
lines operating On lakes, rivers, or
coastwise are to be raised proportion.
ately with the general increases.
Export and import freight rates are
ordered cancelled, and the higher do
nestle rates will apply to and from
ports. A number of fiat increases in
stead of perfected percentage additions
are ordered for coal, coke, lumber, ore,
stone, grain, livestock, meats, sugar,
bullion, and other commodities.
Existing differentials and rates be-
tween various localities are to be pre-
served so far as possible, but many
establishments will have to be made
later. All rates are subject to review
and correction by the Interstate Con-
merce commission.

Paul Roberts of ST. Paurs Episcopal
church was the preacher. In the
morning a congregation that filled the

appropriate music and presence Of the
allied patriotic orders it was an I'M
pressive occasion. In the evening the
baccalaureate sermon to the gradual
ing class Of the high school was de-
livered at the College Auditorium
This was another fine service and like
the discourse of Mr.. Roberts In the
morning. the sermon vas adapted to
the needs OF the occasion and full Of
