/ 1t appears that in the pas,
year about 100000 parcel post
packaees have been stolen from
the mails. The manager Of the
I parcel post department Of a New
York Insurance company reports
that in eleven months 80, 600
packages shat had been insured
by four companies had been re.
moved from the mails. One of
those companies alone suffered
the loss Of more than -, 600 par

II is declared by the bead Of

companies now decline them as

A WONDER GARDEN
Of GREAT VALUE
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT At THE
STATE COLLEGE RAISES
MEDICINAL PLANTS
WHEAT CROP GOOD WEST Of MISSOURI
Two Bookings Boys With Marines In
France Have Landed in New York
On Their Way Home.

One of the most wonderful gardens
in the world is in bloom and full leaf
at State College, brought to a high
state of development by the care OF
Prof. Earl r. Searles and his assist
ant, Anton Hogstad. In this garden are
growing in many plots, twenty-five
different medicinal plants who supply
to the pharmaceutical world a mum.
Der of the extract, oils and juices that
are so necessary in the making OF
medicines. Digitalis, from which
r. one of the greatest heart regu-
Tors known to the profession, grows
in the finest profusion, and is said
by the experts of the department at
Washington to be the finest crop of
that plant grown in the United States.
Cascara, the tree from whose bark
comes the extract which is used In SO
many of the laxative medicines, a tree
which is supposed to need a southern
climate, but three of them lived all
through the last winter without any
extra protection and are now doing
extra well after transplanting. Hen
bane, from which comes one Of the
most valuable drugs of the medical
world. Castor beans, pe%nnyroyal, cat.
nip, cannibis indicus, mullen, are some
of the other well known plants on
which we depend for our health and
regulation of our system when raw
aged by disease. There are three
other gardens of this kind at colleges
in the United States, which have been
inspected by the authorities at Wash
ington, and the efforts of Messrs.
Searles and Hogstad are given credit
for having the finest crops of these
valuable plants, raised in any of the
colleges. All the work has been done
by these two gentlemen, even to the
of the garden, around which the plants
are grouped in artistic array. The
success of this year has been so great
that they are encouraged to expand
enlarged to double it's present size and
other plants will be :.dded. The asso-
ciate editor of the Register visited
this wonderful place and came away
with twenty-three different tastes in
his mouth and nearly that large an
assortment of odors on his fingers, but
he baked at either handling or tast-
ing the poison hemlock, a draught of
which ended the life of philosopher
Socrates. We would much rather
prefer being a live country editor than
a dead celebrity. Sufficient credit
cannot be given these two scientists
for their care and labor in producing
this great assortment of these valua-
bic plants.

MEET HERE NEXT YEAR

The rural carriers of South Dakota
met in annual session this week at
Sioux Falls. Fred De Groat of VolPa
and H. II. Korstad of this city repre-
sented Brookings county at the on
vention. A resolution was adopted
asking congress for a raise in pay,
as the present pay is far inadequate.
They receive about 81, 800 per annum,
but out OF this have to provide and
maintain their travelling equipment.
Their plea was made without any
threat as to what they would do If
not granted and seems to be p
business like statement Of their needs.
An invitation was presented from the
Commercial Club and the mayor of
Brookings to hold their convention for
1920 in this city, and when the vote
was taken Brookings was a winner
by a two-thirds majority. There are
about $50 rural carriers in the state
and with an average representation of
two for a county, there will be about
one hundred and twenty in attendance
when they come to Brookings next
year. Mr.. De Groat is the secretary
of the state organization.

SCHOOL BIDS REJECTED

The bids for the proposed new high
school building were opened by the
board OF education on Tuesday, with
the architect and a number Of repre-
Of contracting concerns
present. The lowest bid was 1881 900
and that amount was so much more
than the funds available that all bids
rejected. The city voted bonds
in the amount OF $175,000 and as the
difference is so great the school board
are waiting to consider the matter be-
fore taking any further action on what
is to be done in the premises. There
have been several expressions of opin,
ion that these bids are all based on
all possible contingencies that might
arise and that the cost of labor and
material do not really warrant these
high bids. There are also many ex.
pressions of opinion that the school
board will be supported in any course
they may decide to take that will give
us a new building at the earliest posi-.
BILE moment.

KIND WORDS FOR US

The following letter from a reader,
as he renews his subscription to the
Register, is very interesting to the
publisher and we believe will also in.
terest many of our other readers:
Fairbury, H., Aug. 8, 1919.
Dear Editor:
1t is great pleasure for me to renew
my subscription for the Brookings
Register another year. We could not
live without the good, newsy Register
and hearing of our old friends. We
all are well. Having a very hot and
dry summer; although we here at
Fairbury have had several showers
more than other places. But the crops
are fair, wheat going % bushels 10
the acre; oats, 35 bushels to the acre.
Pastures ten miles south of here are
drying up.
We give our best regards to all, also
to yourself. Yours sincerely,
A. A. Meeker,

WESTERN WHEAT GOOD

Representatives Of several Minneso-
t. milling companies have been out in
the western section of the state look,
ing up the outlook for procuring A
supply Of milling wheat. They report
that they find the Missouri valley sec.
ton and west, as far as the crop con.
ditions are concerned, good, and con.
tanning the best quality of milling
wheat they can find. This is for the
reason that while there was enough
rainfall early in the season to develop
the crop, this section was not visited
by the heavy rainfalls just before the
harvest, which brought blight and rust
to many fields in Minnesota. The
only thing which they do not like
about the situation is that this is not
a section in which wheat growing is
extensively engaged in, and the sup.
ply Of wheat of the character they
want, and which they can get here,
is limited as compared to the exten.
sive wheat growing sections of the
state.
