fed it as a grain to cattle and found
that it produces an average daily gain
of one and forty-seven hundredths

When fed to swine, for the first fifty
six days, millet seed made an average
daily gain per head of one and thirty

to twenty-nine hundredths of a pound

AN UNTIMELY DEATH

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
George Duff and their family were
greatly shocked to hear of the death
of the son, Arthur H., as reported
briefly in last weeks Register. He
had been examined by physicians in
he had pulmonary trouble that called
for a removal to warmer climate
In company with his father he went
to southern California, but even that

tonitis he succumbed and passed away

Calf Both his father and mother
were present at the end and they re-
turned with the body last Saturday

day with interment in Greenwood cem-
etery. Arthur II. Duff was one of ten
children of Mr. and Mrs George Duff
born August 8th, 1897, and was the
first one Of the family to pass from
earth. He had been educated in the
country schools, had worked with his
father on the home farm and was well
and most favorably known to all those
with whom he came in contact. He
was fine dispositioned young man, a
good friend and generous and likable
His death is truly mourned by the
many who knew him and the family,
parents, brothers and sisters, have the
deep sympathy of all their wide circle
of friends. The Register joins in this
expression of sorrow to them in their
hour of grief and sadness.

the improvements being put in by
the city, the men must have comfort
able sleeping quarters, they want
places with baths, they are willing 10
pay a good reasonable price for these
accommodations. And if Brookings
is going to have her paving, sewers
and lighting system built, then the
people who have rooms in their homes
which would suffice for these men who
are without shelter, must come for
ward and arrange to provide these
sleeping places for these workers.
One of the contractors said on Tues
day that if the required places could
not be found for the men that it
would greatly delay the work and
then Brookings would be the one who
would be hurt all around. The ho-
tells are also crowded to the utmost
night after night and there is very
evident need in all branches OF the
life OF the city that this is a condi-
ton that must be met at once. The
Commercial Club is taking the mat
ter up, and it is proposed to have
secretary or committee to look after
this matter OF finding sleeping quar-
ters for all who need them. If you
can spare a vacant room, if you can
deny yourself in some way for the
good of the city, then it is your privi-

prison camp after eight months to
seek his cousin, Vincent Francis Rip

There was an expression Of hope in
his face that the casual observer would
have said could not have been inspired
merely by a desire to see some one

Suddenly that expression of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
