THE HIGH SCHOOL WINNERS

The entire High school squad with
Coach Wick and Principal White, ac-
companied by several auto loads Of
fans, went to Marshall, Mimi, Satur-
day morning and gave the High school
bunch of that city a gentle reminder
of how the great fall game is played.
Coming back with a score of IS to 0
in our favor, the opening Of the ca
son for the High school looks better
than we really had any reason to ex-
pect. Lack of interest in the past two
years has led to an apathy which vas
unpleasant, but with the advent of a
real coach and proper encouragement
from the superintendent, it seems that
our boys will regain the high place
they once held in the athletic world
of the state. The Register Is In
debted to one Of the boys for the fol
lowing brief account Of the game:

for anyone on the side lines to pick

IMPORTANT CLUB MEETING

The Commercial Club held an i'm
portant meeting last Friday evening at
which a number of projects were dis,
cussed. The committee appointed to
meet with the school board about bet
ter quarters for the pupils now using
the old church, reported that in COM
pany with the board they had nego-
tiated with Mr.. Dybdahl, owner Of the
new garage and that there were good
reasons to believe that the same would
he rented for school purposes. During
a talk about good roads, a motion was
made and carried that the president
appoint a committee to anvas the
question of bonding for roads in order
to supply the needed transportation
that the farmers are asking for. This
committee will investigate the needs
of the farmer and find out IL such a
bond issue would be for the benefit Of
the county. The American Legion
asked for permission to use the as,
sembly rooms for meetings. The board
Of directors were instructed to do all
in their power to assist the Legion
in providing a meeting place by the
use of the rooms as they need them.
The publicity committee reported on
the booklet now in print and advised
that it should be ready for use in about
three weeks. Engineer Soderstrom
answered several questions regarding
the streets work and made things
plain on all inquiries asked. President
Johnson of State College gave the talk
of the evening making no normal ad.
dress but taking the opportunity to get
acquainted and become known to the
business men Of the city. His re-
marks were very interesting and made
a fine impression on his listeners.
After the usual lunch the meeting ad-
journed on one of the best sessions
Of the Club has held in months. :

FORTY YEARS OLD
CITY CELEBRATES
EXERCISES AT ASSEMBLY ROOM
ON TUESDAY TO COMMEND
RATE EVENT
COMMERCIAL CLUB CONSIDERS PLANS
Interesting and important Meeting
Held With Good Attendance and
Many Projects Discussed.

A select company of the earliest
settlers, those who came to the county
before the winter of the big snow
assembled at the assembly room in
the City Hall. Tuesday afternoon, at
300 o'clock, on the invitation of r.
f. Kerr, who, was the chairman of a
committee composed of himself, H. l..
Stearns and Nels Rishoi. Mr.. Stearns,
as a member of the committee, had
submitted a list of persons to invite
that reached to a little later time, but
the chairman curtailed the time and
only includerd those who had been
in the vicinity for two years after the
founding Of the city. Carl Trygstad,
as president of the Commercial Club,
welcomed these pioneers and Hon.
Philo Hall made a very interesting
and pleasing address which dealt
with the early days as he knew them
and with the present conveniences that
the present has brought to us all now.
After this a number of the old timers
told interesting stories of the early
days, light refreshments were served
to the guests and the favored ones left
late in the afternoon much pleased
with this little observance of the found
ing of the city, but some of them art
sorry that others who had done much
for its growth and prosperity were not
included in the list Of those invited.
The following list Of those present was
furnished the Register by Mr.. Kerr:
Mesdames A. T. Grove, r. Brink, A.
B. Allison, Geo. Duff, H. Fishback, J..

Hepner, Thos. Morris, E. C. House,
James -Natesta, w. F. Culbertson, A..
T. Grove, VIM. Schultz, C. E. Poole
and Ole Jermstad. This observance
of the city founding was under the
auspices Of the Commercial Club and
the committee having it in charge was
appointed by them from among then
members. President Trygstad and Mr..
Kerr we're the only one present who
did not come within the time limit,
Mr.. Trygstad not having been boIn
then, though his parents were the
earliest settlers of the county. Mr..
Kerr did not arrive in Brookings until
tie last part of September. 1885. A
telegram was received from John E.
Diamond, one of the earliest of the
city's pioneers, expressing hearty con
gratulations on this occasion.

RED CROSS ACTIVITY

"In Peace AS In War the Greatest
a pamphlet which will be placed in
the hands of every worker who will
go otu to solicit Red Cross member
ships in the Northern Division be
tween November 2 and Armistice
Day. Although the obligations of for
eign relief have not yet been dis
charged, the primary purpose of the
Red Cross will be of service to Ameri-
cans. through its department of nurs-
ing home service, first aid and junior
membership. To enroll nurses sub
ject to emergency call, to conduct the
classes in home hygiene and care of
the sick, and to provide public health
nurses to communities with no ade-
quate nursing provision, the depart
ment of nursing will continue. Com
plotting the work of caring for sol
dier's and sailors families, preparing
to NEE the emergencies of disaster,
and extending to civilians the services
which it has offered to the families Of
fighting men will be the peace-time
work of home service. The First Aid
Bureau will organize classes in first
aid and life-saving in the national
campaign to lessen the number of
deaths by accident. For juniors the
program will include the relief of suf-
fering children the world over, and
the teaching of the ideals of American

than inc hundred thousand of them
will renew their Red Cross member
ships and support its program of COM
munity betterment at home.

WINS GOLD MEDAL
At CHICAGO SHOW
STATE COLLEGE MAKES EXCEL.
LENT RECORD AT NATION
AL DAIRY SHOW
TRAIN RURAL TEACHERS N BROOMNes
Statement Of the Correspondence
Course To BE Offered BY State
College For This Work.

The State College creamery won the
gold medal for milk at the lately held
National Show Of the dairy interests,
with a score of 99.4 per cent. This
was given for the best market milk
shown and is a performance on which
the dairy staff Of the college is justly
proud. The contest was open to all
colleges and agricultural experiment
stations in the United States and was
based on the fact that pure milk is
obtained only by milking healthy
cows, well groomed and kept in clean,
sanitary surroundings, using only
thoroughly cleansed pals and then
cooled to so degrees or lower and bot
tied without any chance of contami
nation. Needless to say one great
fundamental factor is cleanliness, and
the one mentioned above are only the
requisites. This condition can be re-
duced to two terms for the use Of the
dairy farmer, the proper conception
OF cleanliness and the desire tt be
clean. It will be Of interest to know
that while this milk scored 99.4 to
win first prize. the lowest contestant
score was 90.3. Prof. T. H. Wright.
Jr., Is in charge of the dairy husbandry
department and Prof. A. +. Culhane
is in charge of the creamery proper.
Much credit is due these gentlemen
for bringing the prize home to Brook
ings and to the college and they will
have the hearty thanks Of both col
lege and city people for their earnest
efforts In doing this.
In addition to the above perform
Nnce. other prizes were won by rep
resentatives of State College. In the
dairy products contest Rudolph Buch-
OLE was given first place and David
Gilkerson was given second giving
the college two medals and a loving
cup for their record work. Seven
teama contested in this event and rep.
resented the following schools, South
Dakota, Purdue, Iowa, Ohio, Maryland,
Cornell and Nebraska. In the cattle
judging contest there were fifteen col
leges entered and Kansas took first
and South Dakota second. Gilkerson
also was given second individual place
in this contest. The South Dakota
Dairyman's Association and gave
the college team three cups for win
ming n first and two seconds, also
a f~fty-dollar purse, which was divided
among the members of the team.
Those comprising the team we're Ru-
doplh Bucholz, David Gilkerson, Bern
ard Iverson and Harold Triton. Horace
M. Jones, instructor in dairy husband
ry, shared with Prof. Wright the honor
of taking this winning team to Chi
cago and with the professor will be
remembered by the college and city for
the honors we have received in these
events.

TRAIN RURAL TEACHERS

"The agricultural correspondence
courses that will be offered by State
College for teachers this fall will be
of distinct service to the state" says
DR.. Willis E. Johnson, president of
State College, by showing rural teach
ers how they may create greater inter
est in farm life. South Dakota State
College is more interested in the teach
ing of agriculture than any other in.
stitution in the state. This is per.
fectly natural as 1t Is one of the prin-
cipal functions of the institution. 1t
is my belief that the young people
who need agriculture most are boys
and girls in the rural schools. They
are living or farms, they are inter
eted in farm life; though, in many
cases they are acquiring a distaste
and dislike for it. The background
of the life of the rural school is agri-
cultural. Rural teachers who have
had no training in agriculture, who
are not interested in agriculture nor
in sympathy with life conditions which
hSNSoooAii ObIaiu LII Auidl SOIlllQuI-
ties. will render very little valuable
service in rural schools. To be Of
service to such teachers, we are Of
fering these correspondence courses
in agriculture and home o
which lead to college credit"
The state vocational board has Sc.
lected South Dakota State College as
the institution which shall carry IN
the work Of training teachers In voca-
tional agriculture under provision
of the national Smith-Hughes fund.
Teachers who are graduated from this
course will be in demand for teaching
agriculture In high schools at good
salaries. The present demand for
such teachers is far beyond the supply.

WESTERN CROPS GOOD

Notwithstanding the crops around
Lennon were reduced by excessively
hot and dry weather during the crit,
ical part of the growing season, the
people of the Lennon territory are
about as prosperous as ever before,
This is shown by the fact that the de.
pOsits of the three Lennon banks ag,
gregate o than 1000, 900. This
is practically double the amount of de.
posits five years ago. The continued
prosperity of the people Of this region
is due largely to the fact that the farm.
ers now have large herds OF cattle,
hogs and other live stock, and have
other side lines which bring in good
returns throughout the year. instead
Of placing their main dependents on
grain crops.

HIGHEST GRADE PRICE

Several papers in adjoining states.
including the Sioux City Journal and
one in Minnesota, state that the re-
cent price of $162.50 paid for a grade
cow at a sale in this county, is the
record for the three states of South
Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. One of
the Minnesota papers the fact
that their own stats, claiming as she
does to be the bread and butter state of
the world, has been ec1ipsed by its
western n~eighbor. mother record for
grade COWS is given in this issue of
the Register. which goes to prove that
the star Of dairy empire is moving
westward.
