BIG EVENTS NEXT WEEK

At the Summer School that will be
in session at the State College next
week there are several events which
will be of great interest to any one
who a make it possible to attend.
Perhaps the greatest of these will be
the address of Ex-Governor w. N. Fer
ris of Michigan, on Wednesday even
ing, June 18th. Governor Ferris is a
nan of national reputation, is much
interested personally in educational
questions an dis a pleasant speaker.
He also lectures to the teachers the
afternoon of the same day. Tuesday
afternoon at $40, State Superinten-
dent Lugg will address the teachers
and on Thursday afternoon at the
same hour Prof. F. N. Hyer, head of
the State Normal at Stevens Point,
Wis, will deliver a lecture. The pub
lie are invited cordially to all Of these
events. 1t is expected that a musical
program will be rendered on Friday
evening, but this has not yet been full
ly arranged for. The first assembly
meeting of the students of the summer
school occurs Monday at lis p. m.

SCHOOL CELEBRATION

On Memorial Day the teacher, Miss
Clara Everson, and pupils OF school
district No. 81, in Medary township.
held a memorial celebration consisting
of a program of speaking and singing
that was a very fine performance. The
small school house was packed and
the outside of It surrounded by the
crowd that gathered to hear the speak
ing and music. The choir OF the Volga
Lutheran church sang several selec-
tons and the Rev. B. A. Benson of
BrOOkings delivered an address that
was appropriate and full of patriotic
fervOr. An Offering was taken at the
time for the benefit Of the Red Cross
work and the sum of $72 was collect
ed. In proportion to the number Of
scholars this is perhaps the record
amount per capita. The school has
less than a dozen pupils, but It is a
case Of where numbers are not neces-
sary to mean success. We can be
Justly proud of the fine effort Of this
small school and look on them and
their loyal work as an incentive to
better deeds on the part of ourselves.

DEATH IN CALIFORNIA

The Hollywood, Calf, Citizen, gives
an account of the sudden death Of
Mrs. II. e. Lloyd, at one time a well
loved and valuable resident Of this
city. For some time Mrs. Lloyd has
been one of the most active Red Cross
workers at Hollywood, a suburb of
Los Angeles, and in that circle and in
her church she will be greatly missed.
Her many friends here mourn with
Mr.. Lloyd and the children over her
sudden passing:
Mrs. H. e. Lloyd, prominent in the
activities Of the Red Cross and of the
Hollywood Presbyterian church, died
Saturday morning at her home, 561S
Carlton Way, after being stricken
with cerebral hemorrhage. To all ap-
pearances Mrs. Lloyd was in her usu-
al health. She was setting the table
for breakfast when stricken. Medical
aid was summoned at once, but proved
%unavailing. She was sixty-three years
old.
Mrs. Lloyd was born in New York
state, March 3. 1855, moving with her
parents to Pennsylvania and later to
South Dakota. She was married, Jan
uary 5. 1881. to H. e. Lloyd and they
made their first home in Aurora, S. D.,
where they became members OF the
Congregational church. Mrs. Lloyd
was very active in Sunday school work
and was for some time superintend-
ent Of the school.
In 1899 they moved to Brookings,
s. d.. where they became connected
with the Presbyterian church and re-
sided there until coming to Califor-
MIA in 1910. With Mr.. Lloyd. she be-
came a member of the Hollywood
Presbyterian church, where she form
ed a large circle Of friends.
Funeral services were held on Mon
day from the chapel Of VIM. Strother,
which was filled with loving friends,
many more being unable to gain adj
m%ittance. In the absence Of Rev. M.
p. Mcclure, pastor Of the church, Rev.
John MacAllister, d. D., pastor of the
Sunset Hills Presbyterian church, con
Quoted the services. Mrs. Geo. L..
Eastman sang two hymns, accompan-
led by Mrs. Carl Jacobson.
The floral offerings were beautiful
and abundant. A dozen boys and girls
of the neighborhood, in which she
lived. and to whom she had endeared
herself, laid their floral gifts on her
casket.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Lloyd is
survived by two children. whom she
and her husband adopted in childhood,
Mrs. o. H. Fletcher and R. e. Lloyd,
and their five children. Interment was
in beautiful Forest Lawn cemetery, in
a spot, which Mrs. Lloyd selected"

DAY

Yesterday was registration day for
all Of the young men of the county
who have become twenty-one years of
age since June 9Th, 1917. There was
quite a crowd of people in town for
the purpose, as many of the young
men were accompanied by members
of the family or friends. The num-
Der did not come up to the expected
percentage of the total number of
registrants of last year, as only about
one hundred and thirty or a little more
were registered. 1t does not seem
that there could have been any who
did not know of the duty imposed by
the recent law, Brookings county be-
ing well equipped with means of
spreading the necessary information.
Still, there may be a few perhaps.
and to them the penalty for non-com-
pliance now is in effect and they will
no doubt be punished, though it may
be the idea of the government to give
them a chance to register if they can
show a good reason for not doing the
same as the law provided. The list
of registrants is not yet ready for pub
LEGATION, but the local board promises
that it will be furnished the newspa-
pers lin time for mex weeks issue.

STATE OF A

The state of trade over the country
is still active. Purchasing power i'm
proved by higher railway wages, active
government work and increased en-
dustry active, collections fair to good,
and crop reports almost unanimously
good. Winter wheat harvest begun in
southwest, and crop is two weeks
early. Commodity prices (farm pro-
duce) ease on larger receipts and good
prospects. Manufactured products
show no weakness. Scarcity of labor
and materials chief complaints of
manufacturers.
