IOWA PICNIC A

The big annual picnic of the Iowa
Day Association was one of the most
successful things pulled off in Brook
ings in many years. The crowd in
attendance far exceeded any previous
picnic, as about four thousand people
must have been on the grounds during
the afternoon and evening. All of the
program IA carried out in excellent
manner. with no hitch to the smooth
running Of the events. The one out
standing feature of the day was the
splendid address on the war situation
delivered by Capt. X. G.. Richardes of
the 10th Canadians. The captain is
one of the leading younger lawyers of
Winnipeg and has seen three years
service at the front. He was in COM
mand of two hundred Canadian In
dians and gives them the credit for
being the bravest fighters that the war
has seen. His description of scenes
was wonderfully living in word pic
lures, and his denunciation of all
those who would impede the hardest
prosecution of the war vas scathing
and merciless. If there were any pro
enemy present their ears must have
burned and their conscience scared
with the hot words that he threw at
them and all their ilk. Witty, concise
and direct in his speech, he told
truths that must be realized by all
Americans before we can hope to be
%victors.
The proceeds Of the auction sale, the
receipts from concessions and other
things, all went to the Red Cross chap
ter who participated and amounted
to about $1250.00. Just the exac'
amount cannot be told until all bill:
are paid and all money received, thel
a complete statement will be sent t
each branch Of the Red Cross wht
were interested. In addition to thi
|. L. Noggle, the merry-go-round mar
had a lot of pledge cards printed an,
they were circulated and over $500 IL
wheat pledges were made that will ne
that amount of money to the Re,
Cross in November. In the evening
a fine play was given in the pavilion
under the direction of Miss Nellie Ken
dali, and the committee in charg
want to thank her through the Regis
ter for the great success of this enter
tainment. It was a fitting close to
most perfect day Of recreation.
The Iowa association is to be cor
graduated on this wonderfully fin
day Of celebration, and il they wan
to blame any n for the success, tn
general opinion seemed to be that tn

ltion having the day in charge wer
the ones who should be blamed for tn
credit. The Register joins in saying
with others that 1t was a most enjoy
able and fortunate event.

Big CITY Trading.


The idea used to prevail that you
had to go to the big stores 10 large
cities to get the best trading oppor-
tunites. But while people were 60
ing to these cities from smaller
places, swell society people of New
York end Chicsgo felt they had to
60 to London and Paris. In those
days people thought there was some
glory in big city.
To day most people feel that
these centers are undesirable places
to live in. The great majority of
those residing there would move out
to the suburbs and country-if they
could. Smaller cities and country
and suburban towns give more
comfort, and are preferred par
ticularly by those of education and
culture.
The great city has ceased to be
the magnet itused to be. Its stores
do not cater to any superior class
of custom. The great majority of
the most intelligent people live in
small cities and county and su5ur-
ban towns if they can. In so far
as they have public spirit, and they
usually do have it, they patronize
the stores of their own home towns,
AS a consequence the stores in a
place like Monroe City have greatly
improved their service over what
it was say 20 years ago. They are
getting the bulk of the best trade of
their immediate district, by keeping
a wide range of the most substan
tial and useful goods.
So the glamor of big city trading
is dying out. 1t began with the
period of hoop skirts. 1t was at its
hight along the time when the girls
wore big bangs and balloon sleeves,
and the kids sang Whoa Emma"
and Silver Threads among the
Gold" Some people still cling to
the same old delusion though. so
tb at The campaign of education
can't be wholly given up.

Do Your Best.

Do Your Best, but Don't Neglect
Your Bit, There has been no better
motto invented for war times than
our American variation of the Eng
lish phrase-we say:
Don't Do Your Bit. Do Your Best,
But we must watch out how we
carry out even the instruction of
good motto. AS the wave of patrio-
tiSm rises some people grow impa-
tient of the small things they find
to do as their part in the war. They
feel that they would be capable of
the great sacrifices and the great
hcroisms. They want to 90 to
France. They want to give and do
their all. But when they cannot
they sometimes give and do no.
thing.
II is so hard to believe that a bit
is your best. Don't believe tit is
pro badly only your best for the time
beng. But do it.
We are already beginning to realise
that the heroism of the stay at-home
is often dull, unromantic ard hard
to achieve. Do the big things il
you can; be gallant and reckless
and make your whole country proud
of you. But if you cannot, do the
small things; be patient and and
cheerful and make your neighbor-
hood clad you live there.

One of the reasons for the estab,

at the University of Missouri at Co.

ualties. many of whom the univer-
sites will be called upon to supply.

Against Lean Years.

bushels. We did it by going with.

If the American people had failed
i n this, the second battle of the
Marine, the victory in which Amer
ic an troops had so great a share,
never would have been fought.
In sending the wheat to Europe
we took prodigious chance. AS
the old year drew near the end, it
was calculated that there was wheat
in the bins to supply US for a month;
then a fortnight; then a week. If
the harvest should. come through
as usual, the last of the wheat
would be gone at about the time
the new crop reached the mill. If
harvest should be a few days late,
here would be no wheat in Amer.

BY the kindness of nature, harvest
was two weeks early and the country
TOssed the line without realizing
how slender a margin had stood be-
tween US and pfivation Never in
[ he history of the nation had the
margin been so scant
We must not again cut our corners
so close We must build and main
tain reserves. .
Our reserves must be great enough
TO protect US against possible lean
years; great enough to make up for
shortened production as men are
more drawn from the farms to serve
in the army; great enough to main
tain supplies for our Army and
Navy and the Allies no matter how
gravely our shipping may be harass
ed in some evil month by sub.

Another year may show the peak
OF production in this country has
passed. Looking these facts in the
face, we must create reserves fol

in the field to hold civilization to

the normal time. They were moved
forward March 81. The first years
operation of the new law for moving
the clocks forward an hour in the
spring is claimed to have saved
