Government Ownership.
Postmaster General Burleson has
written a long letter to the Chairman
of the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads in support of
a resolution 10 extend the control of
the Government over the telegraphs
and telephones. The present control
would, under existing law, cease with
the proclamation of peace. The Post
master General supports his recon-
mendation with an extended argument
In favor of Government ownership of
these utilities and says that such own
ersh1p may be required without the
expenditure of any money by the Gov
eminent through use Of the difference
between what it costs the Government
to borrow money and the return up
on the investment under private own
ersh1p. This difference, applied to the
maintenance Of any payment for the
telegraph and telephone systems,
would liquididate indebtedness to the
owners in eighteen years and nine
months, according to Mr.. BurlesOn.
Apropos of the whole proposition
recent canvass of manufacturers and
others on trade conditions by the
Merchants Association of New York
shows that a controlling factor in the
present situation Is the inability of
shippers to get proper service from
the railroads, express companies and
the Post Office, all Of which are under
the management of the Government.
The Winter Wheat Crop.
winter wheat crop, larger by So
100000 bushels than any previous
crop in American agricultural history,
Is forecast by the Departm emit of
Agriculture. During the season 40
$4,000 acres were planted, an in
crease of 1879 per cent. over last year.
The condition reported as of Decem-
Der l, is the best ever reported,
averaging more that 9S.63 per cent.
of a normal in the States which have
sown more than million acres.
Washington showed an increase OF
1875 per cent. in acreage, and Iowa q,
100 per cent, increase. The total pro-
duction is estimated at 765,O00,000
bushels, and with an average spring
wheat crop the total production for
1919 should go beyond billion
bushels and exceed, the record crop
of 1915. Secretary. :. of, Agriculture
Houston and the FOOD .Administratipn
have recon m ended legislation to Con-.
gress to make effective the wheat
price guarantee for the 1919 crop and
at the same time to safeguard the
Government against losses. 1t is
urged that the date for the Govern
ment purchase of the 1919 crop be
extended beyond June l, 1920; that
the Food Administration Grain Cor
poration be continued or some new
agency created to buy, store, and sell
1919 wheat that may be offered to
the Governme and that legislation
be enacted to protect the Government
against wheat or -four imported dur
ing the guaranteed price period, and
also to protect buyers of such wheat

Fraudulent, Securities. .~'@
That the period of transition from
a war to a peace basis in this country
will afford many opportunities of
foisting worthless and fraudulent Sc
curities upon the public, thereby in
Turing legitimate business and de-
stroying that eagerness for invest
ments which the Liberty loan cam
paigns have stimulated, is recognized
by the capital issues committee of the
war finance corporation, which has
discontinued It's activities and will re-
main inactive unless conditions should
require that it resume its supervision
of capital issues. Mr.. Glass, who has
succeeded Mr.. McAdoo as secretary Of
the treasury, holds to the same view
as to the need of warning the public
against worthless or fraudulent Sc
curities. He will ask congress for
legislation that will check traffic in
such securities, but which will at the
same time impose no restrictions on
legitimate business.

and not consumed.
Business Conditions.
Considerable progress had been
made toward the normal condition
where demand and supply are control
ling factors. There is still much I'M
certainty because of the price situa-
ton, building being restricted on that
account despite appeals from the Gov
eminent to promote such enterprises
as a solution of the rehabilitation
problem. Steel prices have been low
cred and foreign inquiries for the
product are said to be in volume.
There is strong demand for copper,
but buyers are waiting for prices be-
low the % cents fixed upon as an ex
port price. Christmas buying was up
to expectations. The Federal Reserve
Board reports a decrease in prices be-
tween September and October, the
first during the present year. This is
attributed chiefly to a fall in the prices
Of raw material.
The Money Market.
The feature of the last fortnight has
been the unusual dealing in bonds.
During the week ended December p,
the turnover on the New York Stock
Exchange totalled $85, 1900, the
largest ever recorded, and on Deem
Der 27, dealings reached the record
figure of $34. 500 for a single days
transactions. The Liberty Loan issues.
except the 3 1-2s, are being chiefly
dealt in. Money has been much easier

Df the Shipping Boards vessels, and
as to the general situation of the
scountry's mercantile marine" It is
suggested that American exporters are
being handicapped by the want Of an
announcement of the Governments
policy. Shipping men desire the res
toration of requisitioned vessels and
the abandonment Of Federal control
as soon as practicable. They point out
that Great Britain is steadily relin-
gushing control of requisit1oned ships
and that there is prospect of
America losing new markets through
British exporters getting first to the
. waiting buyers.
Reabsorbing Labor.
The plans, In which National and
State Governments, employers and
employes~are cooperating for the re-
employment OF discharged soldiers,
sailors and war workers give promise
not only of a satisfactory settlement
of this problem for the moment, but
also of a solution of those difficulties
which normally arise in industry be-
cause of sectional surpluses or search
ties of labor. It appears that progress
is now being made toward an effective
use of this countryS usually large
floating population. The theory is that
such a floating population may func-
ton as a stabilfzer of conditions if it
can be properly directed. The United
States Employment Service of the De
partment of Labor is undertaking con-
structive work along this line. A con-
ference is to be held next week in
Washington at which courses will be
given to a selected list of field workers
who will in turn carry instruction into
all the States. The object is to STAN
da,rdize the use of a common agency
under the Government for labor dis
tribution and placement. Assistant
Director General Smyth says the Serv-

day a bunch of OLD grain tickets, show.
ing transactions al his elevator during
the years 1885, '86 and 81. 1t was
hardly possible to believe that such
prices were ever paid in Bookings
county. Take wheat for instance. In
the autumn of 1886 it was bringing
40 cents per bushel. but dropped again
to 80 cents. In the spring of 'S7 ii
vas at 40 and in July it ranged from
80 to 35. Then take the price of oats.
In the summer and fall of '86 they
ranged from 8 to 10 cents and in the
spring of '87 went even as high at
IL cents per bushel. Barley during
the same period ranged from IL to IA
cents and fax, that king Of grain for
price, was selling to the elevators for
the munificent sum of AT, Sc and "
cents per bushel. Timothy seed in the
winter of '87 was really quite high,
as it was bringing from a dollar to
a dollar and a half per hundredweight.
Now while we have no list of the
r ices being paid for the necessities
life that the farmer had to buy
from the store, yet we do not believe
that they were as relatively low in
price as was the product of the farm,
The present record for high prices
was never so threatening to the
progress Of the country as was the
record of low prices that we have
given above. No believes that the
farmer has reached the full price value
of all Of his products, nor that he yet
gets a fair share of the difference be.
tween the original buying price and
the final selling price. But 1t would
look from a comparison Of these fig
ures with the prices paid for other
things, that the farmer today is much
better off than the farmer Of the times
named. This is as it should be and
the time may come Don when he will
have further cause to rejoice in the
progress of this great republic.

THAT TRUCK TOUR

Some criticism has been made of
the Register for the attitude taken
on the failure of the late motor truck
tour to live up to their schedule, when
they visited Brookings. To show that
we are not alone. among South Dakota
papers, in feeling that those in charge
Of the trucks did not act in a proper
manner, we publish for the benefit OF
our critics the following from the
Watertown Herald:
1T will be remembered that the guy
in charge of the truck tour which "hit'
Watertown some two weeks ago, got
q little hard-boiled because of the al
legged n~on-interest that was shown and
attempted to give u fair city a
Dempsey wallop In the m~id-section
The trucks after leaving WATERFOWL
went through Volga and Brookings
and, according to the Tribune and Reg
lister, they failed to make good on their
part of the program and disappointed
large numbers of people who had GATH
cred to see the stunts. Both papers
call attention to the tour in no unGer,
taoin terms, and censure those in
charge right smartly. So it seems that
Mr.. Kroh didn't have much of a 'Kroh'
to make after all. Sometimes it is
just as easy to please some people as
it is to afix a night shirt 10 an angora

College auditorium December 10th, by
the Choral Union. In order to have the
production up to the standard Of pre-

number of the city's musical people,
adding their voices to the chorus. The
two rehearsals already held have
proven the ability of the director, Miss
Grace B. Wynn, and the singers are
showing their interest, but an oratoria

dePs composition can best be sung by
a chorus of not less than n hundred
voices. The two meetings have
brought out less than half of that num-
Der. Whether the oratorio is given
this year rests wholly with the people
OF Brookings. If you want a good
chorus and a worthy rendition of this
famous masterpiece it is your place
to see that the choral has your sup
port both by your influence and pres
ence during the rehearsals. Be on
hand for the next meeting Of the
Choral Union Monday evening. October

BRUCE CREAMERY SOLD

the nearly two years that he served
in the defense OF his country in the
late war. He Is a conscientious, hard.
working and thorough business man

cry that has taken high place in the
contests held by the state associa-
ton, and his able assistance to Mr..
Bang has been one Of the contribu-
ting factors Of the great success of
our W buttermaking institution.
When Jim Greig was there, Mr.. Bang
never felt any fears in leaving the
creamery to attend to other business.
He will be missed by many friends in
Bookings and nowhere as much as
in the place where he has done such
faithful service. For I'VE years be-
fore coming to Brookings Mr.. Greig
was a resident Of Belle Fourche and
is therefore no stranger to the state.
Bruce is to be congratulated on his
advent in their midst as a business
man, and the Register wishes James
Greig and the Bruce Creamery the
best success, believing that it will
%assuredly be their portion.

DAWN OF A NEW ERA

All during the war, /. the Register,
along with nearly all the newspapers
of the country, gave column upon col
umn Of free advertising to the activi-
ties of the government. That was al
right, Our country needed our help and
we gladly gave it. But now the case is
different. And the government is wise
enough, at least some branches of it.
to see that advertising for the benefit
Of the whole people should be paid
for on the same basis as any other
business proposition. The navy de-
partment is now running an adveTtis
ing campaign to increase enlistments
in the fighting force Of the sea. They
are doing this as a business matter,
advertising 1t like any business man
who wants help on a big scale. In
this weeks edition of the Register
will be seen their first advertisement
of this campaign and it Is well worthy
of your notice. Just as the navy was
first ready for the duties of the late
great war. Just as the navy seemed
to fulfill its mission without hardly
a single criticism. So the navy today
Is taking the lead in running their
department on a business basis. Gov
eminent is Of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people and therefore
the advertising necessary to promote
that government should be handled
in the same way. Admiral MCGOWAN,
head of the supply department of the
navy, made a record during the past
war for a thorough business admins
tration of his bureau. The officer IL
charge of the recruiting service, whose
name we do not know, Is doing the
same in his branch of the service.
This action is the dawning of a new
era in the administration of govern
ment affairs and 1t would seem from
a knowledge Of all other business,
that this means. for the government
a better conception of its duties and
a higher appreciation of its relation
to the other business interests of the
country. Following out this plan to
its fullest application will result in
giving the government a higher stand
ing in business circles and a respect
that has not always been hers In this
matter of advertising.

NEW TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

Last evening the city council and
]. 2. w. Zietlow, head of the Dakota
Telephone Co., met and talked over
the matter of a new line for long dis.
lance connections into Bookings. The
company is building a new line from
Clear Lake here and it is then pro-
posed to make Brookings a connecting
point and so improve the connections
with the outside world. Work on the
line is now in progress and before
winter sets in it is expected that
B~rookings will be able to max di.
where now she has to depend on Volga.
This will greatly improve u local
conditions.

ANNIVERSARY OF FOUNDING

The custom of observing anniver-
saries is a commendable one. This
city was founded and named on Octo
Der IA, 1879. Next Tuesday, October
IA, will be the fortieth anniversary of
that occasion. Prof. r. F. Kerr says:
81 propose that we have an informal
celebration Of that event and have
every citizen of this city who was
here on that date or who lived here
that fall and winter or before the
October blizzard, and helped to start
building up the town be invited to
the Commercial Club rooms on Tues
day afternoon at 500 o'clock and be
made the honored guests of the city.
The room have been offered for that
purpose. Short talks and reminis,
censes can be INDUCED in and a gen.
eral good time will be possible. If
the new paving were completed by .that
time and the weather were pleasant
we might have an evening demonstra.
ton of some kind. How many favor
the proposition and will volunteer to
assist in such a celebration"
