SOUTH DAKOTA LEADS WORLD

In working on copy for the railroad
bulletin advertising South Dakota, the
State College ~agronomists discovered
that this state probably produces more
than any other state in the world of
cereals per capita. In 1913, South Da-
kota produced 428.8 bushels of grain
per capita, counting men, women and
children. The records of four other
leading states were North Dakota,
2e9s; !c~s 1854; Minneseta, s :
and Kansas, 1925. Souths Dakota
placed fourth in the total number of
bushels Of corn wheat, oats, rye and
barley with 3l5, 383, goo bushels, be-
ing led by Iowa, Illinois and Mime
sofa in the order named. South Da.
kota has dropped one notch as Il
wheat state, now ranking fourth. In
stead, she has taken a higher place
as a corn state, tagging close to Min
nesOta with 108, 1873, 900 bushels last
year. The total value of South Dako-
ta's farm products in 1918 was nearly
$500, 000, 900, or more than $500 for
every man, woman and child in the
state. Charles McCaffree, commission
er of immigration, has shown that the
value of property in the state is more
than $12 1000 for the average family
of five persons.

LAKE PRESTON FIRE

Fire which broke out at 3 O'Clock
last Sunday morning consumed the
cafe and bakery conducted by w. F.
Blackstone here. The loss will reach
several thousand dollars. Mr.. Black.
stone was out Of the city at the time
of the fire, so the amount of insur,
ance carried could not be ascertained
The heavy o and rain aided in pre-
venting the flames from being com.
m%unicated to adjoining buildings. The
ire gained great Roadway before il
was discovered. The fire is believed
to have originated in the bakery
which was at the rea of the burned
structure. This report comes from
Associate Press sources.

HAVE WE BEEN STUNG

Last week a couple of young men
in the uniform of the L. S. army so
Iicited people all over Bookings for
subscriptions for a magazine called
Our Boy" and collected ii dollar
for a years subscription. They gave
a card with stub attached, to each
subscriber, who then mailed the card
to Glass Magazine Pub. Co, Penning-
ton. \. j., and kept the stub. The
number on the stub held by a Brook
ings citizen is 22519 of series ID" SO
If the thing is a fake, as the follow
ing dispatch asserts, then money is
being made hand over fist by this
scls.t This is what was published
in n of the daily papers regarding
the matter:
Pierre, S. D., April 1.-THE blue
sky department has a letter from the
National Advertising Company stating
that men in uniforms of the L. S. A.
selling subscriptions to a magazine in
New Jersey are takers, and that IN
most cases it is found that the fellows
either have bought the uniforms or
have not secured their discharges
properly, and the whole matter Is thus
even more than IA fake. The company
informs the department that the
young men offer a card to the person
subscribing the 81, and they tell the
person that he himself can send in
the card to the company for the sub.
scription."

rccr. .~AAT.iE..s SURPRISED

According to a report in the Indus
trial Collegian, Prof. H. B. Mathews
was entirely surprised by the senior
class of State College last Thursday
evening, it being his birthday-num-
Der not given With the assistance
of Mrs. Mathews the surprise was
complete and the professor only re-
gained his normal condition after
some time. In testimonial of their re-
gard the class of 1919 presented Prof.
Mathews with a handsome gold chain,
so that he might in the future have
a constant reminder of their esteem
and affection. After the playing of
games and other amusements. a BIRTH
day cake with lighted candles was
brought in and the professor request
ed to entinguish the candles with n
breath. 1t is reported that this was
done and that fact leads the Register
to believe that the true age of the
gentleman was carefully camoufaged.
After the presentation speech by Miss
Laura Wood and the response by Prof.
Mathews, the class sang some songs
and adjourned this happy meeting
with many good wishes for h COM
ing birthdays of their class dad"

a EVENT

Last Friday evening the fourth an
nual concert of the Viking Male
Choir occurred at the opera house and
an audience that filled the building TO
the doors was delighted with every
number of the program. Every num-
Der, chorus, quartette, duet and solo
except the first, was encored to the
echo and the special numbers so CIV
en- were not by any means the least
of the program. One criticism the
Register must offer, is that the en-
ore numbers could very well have
been OF a lighter strain without doing
any damage either to the artistic or
technical value of the numbers. The
standard of the selections was certain
ly up to the high standard always
maintained by Prof. Christensen. The
Chinese Song given as an encore
to the "Landkjending," we understand
was composed by the professor while
on a summer vacation and separated
from all contact with civilized human
beings. We could easily believe this
after hearing it.. Only praise can be
given to the renditiOns by Messrs.
Olson, Oyloe, Christensen and Moen
in their special numbers, the first
three being well known to all Brook
ings people. Perhaps it might be well
to compliment Mr.. Moen on his beau
tiful baritone voice and the ease and
,,, .I,,. ~. NTH x.rhi,h ha hnnllac IL
to fine effect. He is a new ONE to
the city and deserves special men
ton. Every member of the choir is
to be individually congratulated and
thanked for the beauty of the 9
ing's entertainment, and the .
praise is due Prof, Chr . for
making the same a p" IS =. Mrs.
