Der of new students and no hitch

have been having a little difficulty in
securing just the rooming accomoda

seems no doubt but what all of them
will be provided for in a comfortable
manner. With the present indications
as a criterion to judge from, there
seems no doubt but what the enroll
ment in the college courses proper
will reach over six hundred, which
is at least fifteen per cent more than
any year in the past. Professors are
expressing themselves as highly
pleased with the grade Of young PEG,
pie who are coming in and see fol-
their class work an interest and dill

decidedly valuable one for the educa-
tional interests of the state. A feel

to be around all the college buildings
that no doubt comes from the feeling
of the students themselves. The mo.
rale Of the young people seems ex-
c%ellent and they all indicate by their
actions that they are in Brookings to
get something that will help them
build successful lives. No year in the
memory of the Register has ever
started with brighter prospects and
it is a matter of p%ardonable pride that
we chronicle this undoubted effort.

SOUTH DAkOTANS PERISH

In the details of the awful storm
along the Texas coast, now just reach.
ing the public, many sad accounts are
given and none Is so pathetic as the
death of Capt. B. M. Egeland and
wife, both of South Dakota people
who formerly lived at Webster. The
captain was in command of one Of
the camps along the coast near Corpus
Christi and his wife was with him.
He was an old 4th S. d. Infantry man,
was with the Field artillery in France
and while there promoted to captain.
He had only been married since his
return from across seas. When the
rising water compelled them to start
for safety, the captain and wife and
two privates started wading. Capt.
Egeland soon became exhausted and
was about to be swept away, when his
wife who ore the only life belt they
had preceived his condition and threw
away the belt and clasped her arms
around him and together they were
engulfed in the angry water. Both
bodies have been recovered and they
will be taken to Webster by brother
officers for burial. Bookings has sew.
eral former residents in Corpus Christi
and their many friends are worried
about them. J. p. Olson and family
moved there. as did Chas. Hagar and
family, he being a former conductor
in this division of the C. & N. w.
Railway. Friends in Brookings have
written them and have promised to
tell the Register when they received
word as to how they are.

Mollenhauer, an American violinist Of
international fame. He has won
econiums from appearances all over
our W country and has played with
eminent success in the musical cen.
ters of Europe. He will give a con.
cert in Watertown some time soon and
it is planned to have this great artist
come to Bookings while he is in the
vicinity. Five years ago, on the death
of his father with whom he had toured
the world, he retired and has only this
year come back to public life. Vic
tor Nilsson, musical critic of the Min
neapolis Journal considers it desecra
ton to compare Mollenhauer with any
other living violinist. He likens him
to the greatest masters of the past
A most unique compliment was paid
to this artist by Joseph c. Moore OF
the Rochester, Mimi, opera house, ir

CHORAL UNION REVIVED

The Choral Union, which has been
composed of college and city singers
in the past, has been revived by Miss
Grace Wynn, voice teacher at State

to Bookings people and with her
pleasing personality and undoubted
ability as a leader. the prospect for
a successful season Of the Union is
more than assured. Miss Wynn cor.
daily invites all those who have been
identified with the former sessions of
the Union to come Monday evening
and bring with them all who are In
terested in music and can help in
the production Of "The Messiah"
which will be rehearsed this year for
a production that it is hoped will be
the most complete and meritorious CT
any that have ever been given Of this
great work. Anyone who has a score
of the oratorio is requested to bring
it with them. AS the Choral Union
has been one of the most happy as
semblies in the city in past years, 1t
is planned to make 1t even more vaiu
able during the present season. This
is an opportunity that music lovers
and singers should not overlook.

the morning of Friday give a demon

supper. They parked on the north
side of the High school block and
numerous farmers and citizens visited
them to get points on their use. Then
it was learned from some one In au
thority that there would be nothing
doing the next morning, as they in
tended to leave at z o'clock. This was
a surprise and disappointment, as the
local committees, especially the one
under the charge Of DR.. A. A. Harris,
had gone to a lot of trouble to make
arrangements with outlying farmers
for the use of material to demonstrate
these machines. After losing a day il
making the arrangements, the commit
tee then had to spend another day in
explaining the failure to live up tc
the advertised schedule, to the farm
ers and others interested. The band
concert in the evening by the Navy

excellent musicians and gave us a de-
lightful program, the same being high

navy boys would not abscond with theil

the evening performance was good and
if it had been succeeded by the demon

of the tour here would have been ap.
preciated by the dealers and the pub
lie. Interest in the talking ceased
when the first speaker explained that
they would leave early on Friday morn

tour were fine gentlemen, and several

Much interest had been aroused in this
tour and many farmers who could not
come to the night show had planned to
attend the demonstration Of the next
morning. The cars left Brookings
about 7 o'clock Friday morning headed
for Tyler, MINI.

HELP ARMY

According to a half-page advertise
ment in this issue of the Register, it
seems hat Bookings county is be-
hind the procession in Its support of
the good work of the Salvation Army.
This must never be permitted. These
people by their devotion and perse'
verance were the best help our Soys
had On the battle fields of France.
In honor of their great work we must
come to their rescue and contribute
freely to the home service fund that
they ask US to give for the success
of their work here In the United
States, They merit not only our good
will. but also our money and practical
support. Give for the honor Of the
American soldier, to whom they min
istered when he needed it most.

lished two more automobiles have been
stolen in this city, n belonging t.
E. A. Norman. living on Seventh ave-
nue. near Tenth street, having been
recovered in a damaged condition
abandoned by the thieves. The other
n belonging to w. H. Bohnhoff, has
not been heard from, and it is almost
time to consider it a complete loss.
If some one can provide an adequate
remedy for these depredations they
will be doing a great public service.
Otherwise insurance seems to be the
only way Of protection for auto owners.

REMARKABLE SALE

A most excellent result came from
the big sale of swine held by M. M
Vaudeville and Messner Bros, at All
rora, on Wednesday of last week. II
was the first sale of these breeders
and made a state record for such a
sale by having the highest average
ever reached. Forty-seven head o,
Poland Chinas were sold for an aggre
gate price Of $685. so. the sows aver
aging $198.00 and the boars $114.00
The top sow, a fall gilt, brought the
splendid price of $4,000 and the well
known herd boar, Oakdale Timm
topped his class with a price of $575.00.
A goodly crowd gathered to attend the
auction, in spite of the awful condi
ton of the roads. Some of the buy,
ers, who came from the south espe-
cially, had a hard time to get to the
place in time. Messner Bros. offered
ten Oxford rams along with the hogs,
the first offered going to F. w. Miller,
of Aurora, for $4,000, the other nine
being taken. by H. G.. Williams q,

HIGHEST PRICED GRADE COW

Yesterday at the James Hart sale
the record price was paid for a grade
cow as far as the memory of Brook
ings- a~uctioneers and cattle men is
concerned. One animal brought the
high price of $162.50, which certainly
is a record for a producer Of milk. She
was an excellent animal and no doubt
will be a good investment, even al
that price.
