In Joint meetings Of tho packers and

pressed in the telegram OF Secretary

paper Publishers Association.

ANOTHER MILESTONE

This issue closes the thirty sixth
volume OF the Register We are one
year older and We hope one year Wis.
or, though there may be those who
will want to dispute that proposition.
We really do know that we are one
year harder set in trying to be every
thing that ar American should be. If
this war has lone any one thing, it
has convinced the Register that there
is no more desirable citizen on the
face of the earth than the one who
tries hard to live up to the ideals Of
Americanism, as the people of the ma
ton now have those sentiments con
cretely stated in our war aims and in
the u~tterances Of President Wilson on
international issues. We are con-
WINGED that in the future the United
States is bound to make better men
and ONE from her citizens and the
Register Is going to try and keep up
with the procession. If we should
make a mistake now and then, it will
be of the head and not of the heart.
Our intentions will always be good,
patterned after the highest ideal of
an American citizen. This wal has
opened for all of us a future with
great possibilities for good, may we
all try and fulfill the call of a better
and bigger life as a nation and as an
individual. The Register will try to
continue improving from day to day
as it has in the past. and always give
to its subscribers more than value re-
ceived for the money they pay.

by Rev. Luther NJ. kuhns of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, on the Flag and his
loyal remarks found a ready response
from the vast audience. Music at this
great service was furnished by the
Viking Mandskor, Miss Evelyn Rude,
the local church choir and the quar-
tette. II was one of the greatest
Christian patriotic services ever held
in the city. In the evening President
Matin Hegland, of Waldorf College,
Forest City, Iowa, gave a splendid adj
dress and short closing talks were
made by others.
Music at different sessions was ac-
ceptably rendered by Mrs. G.. II. Gul-
branson, Gerhart Oyloe, Mrs. !. Is.
Johnson, Misses Thelma and Lola
Hanson, and Miss Eta lngebretson
of Canton. The program all through
was carried out without any variation,
a thing seldom accomplished in such
gatherings. The arrangements in the
hands of the local committee were
admirably planned and executed and
every one in attendance expressed adj
miration for the splendid way in which
the Brookings people handled the con
vention. The congregation of the
Lutheran church, Rev. B.. A. Benson,
the officers Of the local league and all
those who helped are to be coneratu-
lated on the big success they made
of this assembly. The Register has
always believed that there are fe"
things that Brookings cannot put
across right, and this is another evil
dence that we are correct.
The following resolutions, ringing
with the spirit of loyalty, were unan-
imously adopted by the convention:
Whereas, we believe in the justice
and righteousness of the cause for
which our nation contends in its strug-
Gle for the maintenance of the rights
of mankind and the welfare Of human
ity and for the continued supremacy
of democracy, and
Whereas, loyalty and obedience to
constituted authority is a cardinal
principle of the Lutheran church;
therefore, be it

THE ROW'S-NES

A farmer was overheard to say that
he and his family were as eager to
get to town on Saturday nights after
the weeks work was done as the city
dwellers we're to get out into the coun-
try on Sundays. Families from oppo-
site sides of the town had a chance
to visit each other and spend the
evenings as fancy dictated. 1t was a
time of relaxation from their busy
cares.
Pity the poor candidate for office
this year. He tries to interest the
average voter in his candidacy but his
listener is much more interested in

THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

Next week the issue Of the Regis

Cross, every penny of the advertising
and local income going into the treas
ury. This is done to help start the
big campaign for the Second War
Fund. which in this county opens and
closes on Sunday, May 10Th.
The most awful war of the worlds
history is making demands on every
one, be he rich or poor, great or small.
We all must help shoulder the burden
Of putting the Hun in his place. He

those who want to see the material

served the city faithfully for a num-
Der of years as it's city attorney. He
has no competitor who has n bet

Register can see no reason why he

friends in the years he has lived
among US. has conducted himself in
such a creditable and capable man
