EVOLUTION OF BROOkINGS
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

The first school building erected in
and stood about where the east half
of the old red brick now stands. 1t
was supposed TO cost $4,000, an enor-
nous sun for those days. The chair
building was so large that the whole
of would never be used. This build
ing vas later moved off the grounds
and is o occupied by the Register

Within a very few years a dupli-
cate of the first building was placed
along side of it and the upper stories

these two buildings were overcrowd.
ed and a new brick building was pro-
jected, the cornerstone of which was
laid in 1888. This building was TO
cost around SIS. 900 and at the corner
stone laying ceremonies it was pre-
dicted that few of those present would
live to see the need of a larger build.
ing. In 1897, the red brick building
had to be duplicated for rooms had
to be provided in other parts of the
city to accommodate the children. The
grade building across the street was
built in 1905 and even that has not
been sufficient to accommodate our
growing school population.
The question now is. whether we are
going to build up our schools by piece
meal. or are we planning for a pros
porous future. The amount that we
are now proposing to raise is not an
unreasonable one for Brookings for
we expect to double in population in
the next decade. Let us get together

HAS NEW POLICY

in this locality to adopt a profit-shar-
ing plan with employees, which has
come to be recognized in many of the
congested centers of population as a
necessity and a step in the direction
of the pacification and amalgamation
of the interest of capital and labor,
with view to greater and more eco
nomical production.
AS outlined by the Mercantile Co.
to its employees last Tuesday night,
it is the plan of this institution to
set aside from its annual earnings a
FAIR interest on the money invested,
which for the present will be 1919 on
the outstanding capital stock of the
company or about so on the working
capital employed, after which all sur
! plus earnings will be divided $3.50 be-
tween the stockholders and employees
Of the company. Taking the last an
! nual report as basis for estimating.
there would be about the equivalent of
81 of the working capital, or some
thing more than $1,000 to divide be-
tween the capital stock and employees,
taking personal interest in the bus
mess, it is only reasonable to expect
that the earnings and profits will be
materially increased, so that it is a.
consideration well worthy of the best
efforts of each employee.
1t is safe to say that the experiment
will be closely watched by nearly all
employers of labor hereabouts, and if
it works out satisfactorily and proves
of benefit, there is little question but
that it will be quite generally adopt
ed. Already the Telephone Company
and some others are considering the
matter very seriously,

POISON PLANTS AND
LIVESTOCK LOSSES

The losses of livestock within the
National Forests due to poisonous
plants aggregate about 5000 cattle
and 10000 sheep annually. Consid-
ering the present high value Of both
sheep and cattle II is of great import
ance to control or prevent the losses
so far as possible. The Forest Ser
vice has accomplished great deal
within the past few years in the way
of larkspur eradication.
The principal poisonous plants or
the ranges are: the locos and lupines
of the pea family, to which also be-
long the alfalfas and vetches; water
hemlock or poison parsnip Of the par
sley family, which also includes the
much relished vegetable celery; death
camas which resembles wild onion, of
the bunchfower family; and the much
dreaded larkspurs of the crowfoot
family of which the buttercup and
peony are familiar representatives.
The distribution of these plants is
wide over western ranges and with
the exception of larkspur they ar,
considered poisonous to all classes OF
stock. The locos probably cause more
damage to livestock than any other
group of plants.

ness and the discontinuance of credit
accounts appears to have no effect up
on trading during the holidays. The
cash has continued to flow to them in

are dumfounded to tell where it has

drain on the local postoffice for the
