A WAR

On Monday, April Pend, at Hem
stead, Long Island, n. Y, Miss Anne
S. Knutson, of this city, and Fred
II. Carlson, of the S41st Aero Squad
ron, were married by DR.. Frank NJ.
Kerr, pastor Of Christ's First Presbys
terrain church.
This announcement will come as a
surprise to Miss Knutson's many
friends as we do not think it was gen
orally known that such a step was con
templated. She had asked for a vaca-
ton about the middle Of April and It
seems went directly to New York to
meet her prospective husband before
he sailed.
Corporal Carlson was drafted in Chi
cago, but on request vas transferred to
Brookings. joining the second draft
here and was enlisted as a private in
the aviation corps. He had formerly
been a resident of BrOOkings where
he made many friends. He is a bright,
capable and energetic young man with
very conscientious scruples and is
making Uncle Sam a fine soldier. His
squadron is now at Hampstead expect
ing to sail any hour for lover there"
Miss Knutson is a daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. T. KnutsOn. residing near
the Junction, and has been employed
by the Register for many years in va
rious capacities. For a number of
years she has had a position in the
front office as assistant to the man
ager and her capabilities and excel
lent qualities have made her appreci-
ated by the entire force, who extend
their heartiest congratulations.

PHYSICIAN DIES

DR.. L. N. Wakefield of Lake Benton,
Mimi, was killed some time Sunday
night by a train as he was crossing
the track in the west part Of Lake
Benton, on his way back from visiting
a patient. The lady at the house
where he had just called states that
they saw him cross ahead of the en-
CINE and thought he made it, but
the next morning, his body was
found up against a fence where he
had evidently been thrown by the
train. He was instantly killed, from
all appearances. but his body lay by
the fence all night. He was not seen
by any of the train crew and there
seems to be no explanation of how the
accident occurred. He was buried
yesterday with Masonic honors.

AM IN BATTLE

The following is from Claire West
and tells of the attack in which he
was recently engaged and how he
came out of it. 1t is typical of the
acting and feeling of our boys at the
front:
81 got it (gas) during a recent en-
gagement and they certainly handed
us a knockout, but not before we hand
ed them a worse dose. This gas af-
fected my eyes so that | was prac-
tically blind for about three days and
was nauseated at times. Am feeling
O. X. now and will be on my feet for
good in a few days. We've been kept
on hot milk diet until just today,
when they started to feed us solids.
| surely was hungry, but now we get
all we want.
Don't know how much | can say
about the engagement, but will try to
tell a little. We were in action about
six hours and, believe me, there was
something doing. We had just come
into positions and | was standing out
in front when, zip, about eight shells
sizzled around my feet so fast l
thought they were h%ailstones. I
jumped behind a friendly tree, but
concluded said tree wasn't much pro-
lection against gas-so few into the
gun pit. One friendly shell nipped
about four feet behind me to help me
along-but luckily didn't explode. l
put on my mask Immediately and then
we started in handing them a good
dose. Gee, it certainly is no fun with
those things on. l don't know when l
got my gas but l got it, SO let it suf-
fee. My first sensations at being un-
der fire weren't anything like I expect
ed. / wasn't even worried when l
knew we were going and afterwards
| was so d mad l didn't care.
"Malen CHS pail was up to see me
today. Lucky Malen! He is too far
back to be in any immediate danger.
But l guess he would like to be up
with the rest of u.s."

STATE OF A

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows that activity is somewhat shad-
ed. Slightly less doing in wholesale
and retail trade. Shortages of sup
plies, high prices, government restric-
lions and the Liberty Loan Drive tend
to restrict activities. Cool weather
and bond buying temporarily affect re-
tail trade. Food crop news good, but
weather retards planting and germina-
ton. Government demand, on other
hand. speeds up industries. Buying at
munition and shipbuilding centers &C.
tive. Non-essential lines feel restric-
tons. Break in cotton affects some
textile demand. but south notes no ef-
feet on planting.

TO OFFICERS CAMP

Fl. H. Pickett, better known as
Hubble, leaves today for the En-
gineer Officers Training Camp at
Camp Lee, near Petersburg, Va. He
is a graduate of the engineering de-
partment at State College and secures
this assignment on account of his class
work and standing. Hubble will make
good without any hardship. as he has
the goods to deliver, and if they run
short of a band master he is able to
give them the very best article in
that line. We expect when he gets
into action across the seas that our
engineer privates will have to perform
all duties to music, as Hubble is one
of the best disciplined musicians in
the northwest. The college band and
Prof. Christensen are going to miss
this young nan the coming summer,
and so are the people of Brookings
when it m to band concert nights.
Good luck, Hubble, do your duty and
come back after we take Berlin.

FIRST OVER THE TOP

Here is a brief part of a letter writ
ten by Byron l.. Hill, Sol of r. w.
Hill Of this city, in which he tells of
his company being the first American
soldiers to go after the Germans. The
family formerly lived at Sutherland,
Iowa, and Byron enlisted in the 3rd
Iowa Infantry, which has since become
the 168th Infantry and is part of the
Rainbow Division:

France know you folks are worry

Yes, we have had a hitch in the
trenches and have had some very ex-

JOY. There is also an inside safety
pocket. The insignia-Y. w. G. A
stitched on a black bar within a blue
triangle, is embroidered on the sleeve
and on the shoulder. The skirt is
plain, full at the back and beited with
slit pockets. 1t hangs seven inches
from the floor. A black tricorner hat
OF silk with a velvet facing is adorned
with the insignia embroidered on a
French blue g%rosgrain band. Silk and
velvet have been used to conserve
wool. The color of the uniform is soft
grey-blue. An ulster goes with the
suit in cold weather.
The Y. w. G. A. in advocating sensi-
bic dress for women does not think it
advisable at this time for women in
the business world as a whole to go
into uniform. But the Association
does suggest that girls and women for
the duration of the war dress with
simplicity and economy as their first
consideration. The present tendency
OF the times to put all war workers,
directly or indirectly connected with
the government, into uniform is sure
to have a lasting effect in fashioning
a more sensible standard for dressing
for the business girls throughout the
country.

PSYCHOLOGY OF WAR
ON WOMEN'S CLOTHES
The Girl In Uniform.

Every war has had its influence upon
women's clothes. Sometimes It has
been a color that has sprung into fash
ion with the bugle call to arms, some
times 1t is a feather, as the coque
feather; sometimes it is braid and a
military swing to the lines of a suit
or dress.
Before the United States entered the
war Russian Cossack suits, coque
feathers, braided jackets, snappy suits
with a military dash to them that al
most sang Listen to the band" were
the vogue. War muffs, fabulous In
price, but economical in fur, French
blue, brass buttons and any number of
adoptions from male military attire
were seized upon by Paris designers
and shipped to America as the style.
But since the United States entered
the war American women have Joined
1.-THE workers of the world. The infiu-
ence of war on their clothes was first
noticed when feathers began to disap-
pear and the Russian Cossack suit and
high French toque gave place to the
lplain American tailored suit with SEN
Isible pockets and the useful sailor hat

MESSAGE OF THE
GREAT UNITED WAR
DRIVE FOR WOMEN

For the first time in the history of
this nation, women of every religious
creed have been called upon to stand
united in one great nonsectarian
cause.
The Government has just sanctioned
a United War Drive for seven differ
ent organizations: The Young Mems
Christian Association, the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, the Ma
tional Catholic War Council (Knights
of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare
Board, the Wal Camp Community, the
American Library Association, and the
Salvation Army.
One hundred and seventy million
five hundred thousand dollars is the
goal set for the campaign. 1t is the
largest single gift ever asked Of the
American people and the women of
America have heard the call.
Already there is springing up a new
comradeship among the women of this
country, a new determination to stand
together to win the war.
! What do creeds matter or dogmas
when sons, brothers and husbands are
in khaki on the fields of France2
! Women of America have caught the
fire of the spirit of women "Over
There" When the Allied Congress of
Women met in Paris last month-one
message was sent back pto the United
States:
"All the womanhood Of the Allied
nations must stand united for victory.
Think victory, talk victory, believe
victory"
And back of this great united force
Of women from the far ends of the
earth there is now standing another
unified army-the woman power of
America.
Soon we shall see a new thing-wo-
men who know in their hearts that
democracy is as much a part Of a wo-
mans world as it is of a mans world,
and that it is just as surely a woman's
job to make democracy safe for the
world as it is a mans job to make the
world safe for democracy.
Women of every religious creed are
standing now for one goal-Victory.
To that end the only woman's organ
ization in the great United War Drive
the Y. w. G. Alas sent out a chal-
lenge to the women to Carry On-for
victory.
1t is no longer a question of "When
will the war end?' but When will we
have victory"
The women of America have under
stood,

lows.
Women are showing in their clothes
that when they work they must dress
accordingly. Hence the new demand
for uniforms.
Everywhere women are adapting
uniforms as an answer to the vexing
question of "What shall 1 wear to
work." The suits of the women con-
d%uctors, women farmers, signal corps
girls, and the recently adopted uniform
of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation all point to a new simplicity
and beauty in clothes for women In
this country.
The Y. w. @. A. has designed a uni
form peculiarly adaptable to the needs
of a woman In business. 1t is a uni
form that combines common sense and
utility with undeniable style. 1t is
