DEATH OF e. A. ROBINSON

1t is with much personal sorrow
that we chronicle the death of E. A.
Robinson, who died at Rebecca, Ca,
on November 26th, at the home of his
sister, Mrs. n. G.. Roberts. Mr.. Robin
son was formerly connected with the
Register as its local and news editor
and for number of years made his
home in Brookings. On severing his
connection with this paper he con-
nected up with the Cobel Mail Bank
ing Company which built up flourish
ing business under his management
until struck with war time activities.
After the war Mr. Robinson returned
to Brookings and again opened up for
business, but his falling health COM
PEELED him to give 1t up and he de-
parted for Colorado in the hope that
warmer climate and higher altitude
would prove beneficial.
This week we received letter from
his sister, Mrs. Roberts, who says that
ION Wednesday morning. November
26, my brother, Edward A. Robinson,
passed away. He was always so in
terested in you and the people Of
Brookings is my reason for writing.
He came to us the first week in Octo-
ber and felt he had made a mistake
for the altitude of the country is en-
tirely to low for any one having T. B.
We did all we could for his comfort
and pleasure, but that dread disease
had a firm hold. only death could give
him relief. The end was peaceful and
without pain He was in bed scarcely
two weeks. He did so long to live
and go back among you people"
In his connection with the Register
we always found Mr.. Robinson per-
feet gentleman, kind and considerate
of others and very conscientious in his
work. He made many friends here In
Brookings who will join us in extend
ing sympathy to his bereaved sister
and other relatives.

THE STERLING BILL

New York Herald - Sterling is a
good name for a measure to make
American citizenship better and purer.
Senator Sterling's bill, reported favor
ably by the senate committee on judi
ciary, makes it unlawful for any per-
son to advocate or advise the over
throw of the government. At the
present time the laws are such as to
make it practically impossible for the
authorities to take action in such cases
unless an overt act is committed.
If the Sterling bill becomes a law
it will not only be crime to advocate
or advise the overthrow of our govern
ment but also will be criminal Of
fense "for any person or persons in
America to print, publish, utter, sell
or distribute any document, book or
other printed or written document in
which the overthrow by force or viola
tion of the government is advocated,
advised or even suggested"
The measure provides for the pun
ishment Of those who by force or vio-
lence seek to delay or hinder the
execution of the laws of the country"
Flags and other emblems which mid
cate desire on the part Of persons
to overthrow the government or to
defy it's laws by violence are prohib'
tied. The penalty under the proposed
law is Imprisonment for five years,
and, in the case of aliens, deportation.
Such law is enforced would help in
cleaning out the country The cleans
ing process Is needed

Secondly, kindly limit all donations
to regulation sizes, since if too small
they are useless and if too large must
be made over, which is an expense.
Thirdly, carefully select such mate
rial as will wash we'll. All material
will wash, but not to look "as good
as new" 1t is surprising at the good
eyesight when clean cushion covers
are taken around. 1t is usually the
rule that faded cloth calls forth ana
themas, which shows that the best Is
none too good for the Home.
Fourthly, please match covers; all
can readily see that rockingham with
pad and cushion covered with the same
material as to pattern gives a chair
much neater appearance than one
resembling Joseph's coat. To illus
trate: Instead of sending six cushion
covers alike make three cushion COW
ers and three chairback pad covers
to match then note the pleasing effect.
Dimensions for covers to put on pads
for the backs of rocking chairs, 40x2O
inches, no tapes nor strings, as these
have to be adjusted to fit different
chairs. To allow for shrinkage,
covers for cushions should be 23x23
inches, that is, % inches square fin
ished; no ruffies, no fastenings of any
sort as these covers must be sewed
onto the feather pillows.
This fall several of the Oldest mem
bers have called for rugs. AS it has
been two years or more since the corps
have sent any rugs. will some of our
industrious sisters please sew some
carpet rags for the serviceable rag
rugs, since they are washable? 1t is
not necessary to have the rugs very
large, but make more in number We
could this very day use IL to Is rugs
to good advantage. If some of our
corps members can spare a rug from
their homes what help it will be to
our men. Try this out, you will find
you will not miss one small rug, so
what is not your loss is our gain.
|. In closing this appeal please accept
the thanks of the members of the name
for the things asked for. So promptly
and generously have crops responded
heretofore, there is not question now,
but what someone will soon be kept
busy opening packages. May Thanks
giving day find everyone counting her
blessings with joyful anticipation of
the good old Christmas time, believing
that thare will ha apoooa o,, n, r+h ,,a
good will toward men.
Yours in F. c. and L..

w. R.C. DEPARTMENT
NEED OF DONATIONS

l. Mrs. Lula B. Potter. department
president Of the Women's Relief Corps,
do approve and endorse the following
letter from Mary Noyes Farr:
Dear Members of the w. r. c.:
Our department president, Mrs. Lulu
Potter, has just made the State Sol
diers' Home a visit and in looking
about to see what is actually needed
she advised that letter be sent you
through our department paper.
You will be especially interested in
our amusement room, large airy
room, selected by the board of man
bers to use in common. Directions
have been followed as to walls, floor,
tables, comfortable chairs, etc. The
room is now ready for the furnishings.
The chairs are all dressed in blue
denim, which harmonizes with the
tinted walls.
Many corps are asking by mail what
is needed most in the home now. There
are two forms Of need that crops
members can relieve, namely, the men,
tai and the physical. 1t has been sug-
gested that some corps might like to
contribute to the mental leeds and
so send something along the amuse-
ment line as games, puzzles or some
form of amusement that any grandpa
might enjoy.
These donations need not neces-
sarily be new, but many boys and girls
have games that they would enjoy do
mating to the Soldiers Home. Puzzles
appeal to the members; then they
would enjoy dominoes, checkers, back
CANNON, etc. A hint is sufficient along
this line. Which corps will lead of
in donations for the amusement room?
No one realizes better than the
Women's Relief Corps that long win
ter confronts the boys in blue and it
is part of their work to help brighten
the wintery days, hence try out as
to this amusement room. so please
help U.S. Who will be No. /?
to those crops that so generously
donated toward the movie machine.
Tuesday nights. at 7:15, the chapel
is a very popular place. More chairs
are being added and no cheap reefs
are given the audience, only such plays
are run as your corps would enjoy.
In days gone by, you dear girls, have
responded so generously to the calls
of the Home that the actual needs Of
the institution along the usual lines
are comparatively small. Let us cut
out the "don't need" by saying moth
ing about them, but confine ourselves
to what is necessary to keep the hos
pital supplied with articles belonging
exclusively to that department, be-
side the Everlasting" call for chair
furnishings which are not "everlast-
ing" There may be mentioned among
donations acceptable to the hospitals
present needs: nights shirts, large
sizes. stand covers one yard square
and bibs, 20 inches wide by So long.
Indian Head cotton Is very serviceable
for the covers and bibs. Please bear
in mind that meals are now served
on aluminium trays. tlese being con-
sidered more sanitary chan the former
tray cloths. This brings us to the
chair requirements, namely. covers.
II explicit directions can be given for
the two kinds Of covers needed 1t will
save much work all around.
First. please note that there is an
abundance Of cushions, as such. and
chair backs or pads; 1t Is the covers.
only. that are needed for these two
articles.

OUR HOSPITAL

AT the last meeting of the hospital
board it was announced that we were
positively assured of the $4,000 dona-
tion from the centenary fund for i'm
provements and betterments, this to
be paid over in five equal annual pay
ments, provided lie city and surround.
ing community will donate half the
amount in the same length of time.
A considerable portion of the latter
amount has already been secured and
paid over into the treasury and some
of the necessary improvements have
been contracted for. The hospital was
never In better condition than it is at
present. Miss Woods and her able as.
sistants are doing all within their pow
er. with the conveniences they have
to make it an institution Of which the
community may well be satisfied, and
with the improvements contemplated
we shall have real hospfta' Cor a city
OF this size. There were thirteen pa
tients in the institution on Friday
which indicates its present patronage
and usefulness. All were suitably re-
