The Business Girls Club classes
met Monday evening with a good at.
tendance, especially in the millinery
and basketry classes. As it was nee
essary for all the classes to meet in
the one room, there was no travelogue
but that group listened to the read
ing of one of the stories in Dorothy
Cantield's Home Fires in France"
Miss Nellie Kendall will give the
travel talk next Monday evening if
the rooms are in a condition SO that
they IA be used.
A cabinet training conference for
the newly elected cabinets Of college
associations OF the state was held al
Mitchell, April Sc. About thirty-fiye
delegates were present. The dele
gates from State College were the
county secretary, Helen Johnston,
president, and Blanche TOmpkins, Bi-
lie study chairman. The principai
speaker of the conference was Mr.
Aide of the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce. As some 5000 returned
soldiers have passed through his de-
partment in the last few months he
had a very interesting message on
the social problems of the day.

A MACHINE

This city has been visited this week
by Sam Haivorson of Seattle, Wash,
who is accompanied by his wife and
who are visiting at the home of G. A.
Anderson, a brother of Mrs. Halvor-
son. Mr.. Halvorson has invented a
great machine which mechanically
''stuffs" the various parts of a big
Sunday paper together In the form in
which they reach the reader. This is
the last step in the newspaper bust
ness that has remained for human
hands to do, and this new machine
now makes it possible to accomplish
it all mechanically. 1t v time and
money and Is a boon to the profes-
sion and especially the big dailies.
1t makes it impossible for an incom-
plete paper to be sent out of the Of
fee. A representation of the machine
was given on the screen at the Pleas
ant Hour Tuesday evening and was
most interesting and instructive. Mr..
HalvOrson was for many years with
Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, n of the
big houses who manufacture printing
machinery. The use of this machine
will be a big help to the production
of the dailies and Sunday edition and
will no doubt % become universal.

BOOSTING ~BROOkINGS

AT the big meeting called for Mon
day evening a very fair representa-
ton of the business interests of the
city were present and the whole mat
ter of advertising and presenting
Brookings to the general public of the
northwest "a taken up and discussed
from all. sides. President Sayre of
the Commercial! Club presided and
talks were made by several gentlemen
who have studied up the subject. 1t
was decided that with the assistance
of the city and the Commercial Club
that a campaign should be started in
vOlVing the expenditure as an initial
start of 1000. 90, in putting out a
pamphlet, advertising in county seat
and farm papers and getting publicity
in the dailies. A committee of five
was appointed to take charge of this
natter and as they represent all
phases of our commercial life, it. can
be believed that they will act with
good judgment in the placing of all
this publicity. The committee is com
posed of w. II. Walters, chairman;
Geo. w. CObel, Paul butcher, c. G..
Hinkley and G.. A. Starring, and will
meet sOon to perfect their plans for
this big work.

TANK DOES
MANY BIG STUNTS
PERFORMANCE BEFORE A BIG
CROWD-AROUSES LOTS OF
ENTHUSIASM
CITY STARTS A PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Committee Appointed And Money
Will Be Spent In Advertising
Advantages Of Bookings

The much advertised whipped"
tank appeared on the streets of Brook
inss Saturday before a big crowd from
ali over the county. The stunts per
formed were spectacular and IN
WINGED everyone that the tank was a
big factor in winning the war. The
excavations for the new Kendall
building and the Dybdahl garage, the
hole back OF the Corner Grocery, the
gravel pile back of Beatty's and the
old cellar south of Warren's machine
shop furnished trenches and fortifi-
cations enough for a fine showing of
what distractions these machines can
overcome. Turning around in its own
length at the bottom of a hole is one
of the fayorite stunts of these birds"
Trees six or eight inches thick bend
over like pipestems. and then fail to
bend back. A ninety per cent grade
is only child's play for them. The
crowd followed the war bird around
and enjoyed the entertainment to the
limit. 1t was a splendid encourage
ment for the Victory War Loan and
made all our visitors realize that we
must complete the task that w start
ed out to perform.

II BO'SN'S BRIDE

Las Friday evening occurred the
production of The Bo'sn's Bride a
light operetta in two acts, under the
diI ection of Lila Alton Vergote. with
Mrs. Elmer SeXauer as accompanist.
The production was given to a packed
house, whose attendance testified the
interest taken in the Girls Business
Club, in whose benefit the same was
staged. All of the work of the prin-
cinals and chorus was given With the
verVe and snap that always character
ize those who are trained under the
care of Mrs. Nergote, and indicated
hard work on the part of all engaged
in the cast. The chorus singing Of
these young ladies was well rem
dered and for a company of
girls, little could be asked for in
the presentation of the male parts.
AS a work of local talent it was far
above the ordinary and comparable
with professional work. Lack of
space will not permit us to give all
the individual credit hat is due, but
two of the cast stand out from the
others for their character ~delineation
OF unfamiliar parts-Alyce Weaver
and Joy Morton, as the old salt and
the bo'sn's mate, were far better than
many paid actresses, the acting and
singing of Miss Weaver being excep-
tionally good. The entire cast is to
be warmly congratulated and Mrs.
Nergote and Mrs. Sexauer thanked
the splendid way in which these
young girls were drilled III the chorus
and s"lo work. 1t was a fine perform
ance, staged and sung in a way that
pleased the big audience.

THE BIG CONCERT CHOIR

The big concert choir of BroOkinss,
known as the Viking Male Choir, who
give their fourth annual concert this
week, tomorrow, are an organization
of which the city can be justly proud.
Organized eight years ago as the
Mandskor, with Rev. Hans Fosness
and A. A. Brictson as directors, the
first few years training paved the
way for the good work that has been
done since. Reorganized four years
ago with Prof. Carl Christensen as d.
rector, the real hard work of develop
ing a finished choir has progressed in
a marked degree. Twenty-eight men
are now enrolled and the class of
music has been advancing all of the
time. Their aim has been to promote
interest in a better class of music in
the community and instill the love of
harmony and melody in the minds of
all. The coming concert promises to
be one long to be remembered in
B~rookings, and the program has an
appeal to all who believe in the pow,
er of song. Not only will the chorus
work be of more than passing inter
est, but the special numbers, consist
ing of duets. auartettes and solos, will
be a big feature of the evenings en-
tertainment. In speaking of the choir
the fact must lot be lost sight of that
Mrs. l. B. Johnson, as accompanist,
has been an important factor in assist
ing Prof. Christensen in bringing the
choir UP to its present high standard
of excellence.

PRESBYTERIAN MEN MEET

Last Thursday evening at the com
Portable home of Mr.. and Mrs. +. w
Heintz, about fifty men of the church
met for their regular monthly meet
ing. After a very excellent supper
President Forsee called the meeting
to order and the regular business was
attended to.
The guests of the evening were the
following returned soldiers: Walter
Whitmus, Leonard Ladd, Horace Fish
back, Jr., Lester Martin and Claude
Jackson. Each of the boys spoke o.
their pleasure in getting back to the
quiet pursuits of life, but also said
they stood ready to return at any
time they were needed.
The evening was spent in fellow
ship and when time came to adjourn
everyone felt the time had been vel
spent.

SOME MUSICAL GIRLS

Lest anyone should think that the
State College in B~rookings is only
conducive to the study of agriculture
and the thinking of farming thoughts,
the Register desires 10 call attention
to the splendid girls band hat Prof
Carl Christensen has built up out OF
the young lady students of the in,
stitution. Forty-two young women
are busy learning the higher ele-
ments of the use Of wind instruments
and at the present rate of progress
it will be only a short time before
they will have established a repu.
tation second to none of the musical
organizations under the direction OF
Prof. Christensen. The use of wind
instruments has been found to be cx.
cellent for the DEVELOPMENT of lungs
and an element for good health and
this band is bound to be a great help
in keeping these women students in
good physical condition. The follow
ing are the members of the band
and the instruments that they play
and the entire state may we'll be
proud of this organization:

 The ships arriving were the Rotter- dam from Holland via Plymouth; The Baltic, Royal George. Carmania, and Carona from British ports, via Halifax. the Lafayette from Fiavre; Bergensfjord from Norway and Flu ropia from Genoa. All were from three to five days overdue and some of them reached port too late to dock tomorrow morning.
 The first Of the big liners to come into her dock was the Rotterdam which reached quarantine late last night. She was three days late and her master. Capt. l. Baron. declared that the trip was the toughest he had ever made. His statement was sup
