TELLURIDE SPRINGER
 NS WIDENING OUT

The drift from the $40 level of the Telluride mine, at Oatman, has been in ore rumored to be running $37 per ton the past week. It appears that after the rich streak was encountered the management decided to crosscut the vein, but after fifteen feet had been entered it was found that the ore body was in the streak already found and drifting was continued with the result that better ore body is be- ing entered. The ore shows rich seams that resemble the rich ores of the United Eastern. This drift will be carried to a connection with the other shaft and winze will probably be sunk op it. The mine is looking fine and th@ chances for the development of large ore body are as good as in any of the big producers.

MOVIES IN THE CHURCH

Sioux City Journal-A number OF
ministers in attendance at the Metho.
dist centenary at Columbus, O., have
approved the plan for introducing NOV.
ing pictures in the churches on Sun.
day There are objectors to the
scheme. They declare that this limo
walton would change the Sabbath from
a day OF spiritual uplift TO one Of re-
creation and amusement. II the limo
vation becomes general it will require
herents of the belief that the Sabbath
was made for man and not man for
the Sabbath must pass from church
activity before 1t holds the entire con-
fidence of the ministry.
The same gathering of Methodists
which is considering the adoption of
moving pictures secured the attend
ance of Sergeant Alvin c. York, who
is not a member of that denomina-
ton, ostensibly as a drawing card.
Another feature of the same day was
Commander A. C. Read, who piloted
the NC-4 seaplane in its flight across
the Atlantic. Neither of these men
has achieved marked distinction in
secular fields, if killing the enemy by
wholesale can be termed secular. No
criticism attaches to the gathering for
offering these attractions. The point
is that they we're elements outside of
church activities. They are not the
same as the parade headed by a
camel rider celebrating the incoming
of the prohibition law That was re-
joicing over an accomplishment in
which the church had a considerable
part. If, then, York and Read were
diversions, why should not the church
adopt the moving picture as a diver
sion?
The movie is not evil per Sc. 1t be-
comes an agency of evil only when
used for that purpose. The Bible is
filled with thrilling dramas which, if
presented on the screen, would give
the church goer a new and clearer
concept of the events. What boy
would not forsake swim to see a
movie of the battle between the shep-
herd boy with his sling and pebbles,
against the Philistine giant with his
shield and broadsword? What boy
would not spend the next week in
trying to fashion a similar instru-
ment, just as he tries to initiate the
performers in the circus? Gideon's
army, which threw the enemy into
confusion by it's lighted candles, would
have new interest to young and Old
if they saw it visualized.
1t might be said that this method
would be PROCLAMATION of that which is
sacred. But what is the difference be-
tween the depletion of the event on
the screen and the too often bungling
word depletion Of the same event in
the pulpit. Proclamation is in intent,
not in act.

Of the very earliest of the pioneers
Of what has since become wonderful
state. Judge Brookings held a high
nlace as man of determination, FEAR
Iessness and courage. He was loved
on account of his genial disposition
and admired because of his talents
and ability. Both Brookings County
and the City of Brookings are honored
TO carry his name down to posterity
as a remembrance of what he did IN
the early days surrounding its birth.
He was one of the pathfinders for the
empire of progress that is now MAX
ing the state known through its de-
veIopment and renowned because OF its
standing as a loyal state during the
campaigns of the Liberty Loans just
past. Brookings and Brookings county
are carrying out nobly the trust placed
in their hands through the man whose
name they bear.

UNANIMOUS FOR GOOD ROADS

A big convention of farmers of
Minnehaha County was held in Sioux
Falls last week and after a discus
sion of the matter opened by a for
mer immigration commissioner of the
state in which he explained the urgent
need of permanent road building and
their economic necessity to every per-
son In the county, motion to put
over the program as outlined and to
get the county to bond for two and
one-half million dollars, was unani-
mously adopted. The Argus Leader
saws as follows about the meeting:
Unanimous endorsement of the
proposal to hard-surface system of
highways throughout Minnehaha
county, and of the plan to bond the
county for that purpose, was given
at representative get-together meet
ing of farmers and business men from
all sections of the county in the Com
mercial Club rooms this afternoon.
Not only was approval voiced by those
present, but it was the opinion of
every speaker that the campaign
would disclose sentiment among the
people in every part of the county
that would assure its success. BY a
rising vote, those present expressed
their willingness and determination
to assist In accomplishing this great
project"

MUST PAY STATE TAX

The fact that insurance companies
have been paying a property tax on
their real property possessions will
not exempt them from the 2k per
cent assessment on corporations, ac-
geenral. In answer to query from
an insurance company interested, he
holds that this is business tax,
rather than one on property, and must
ing on taxing matters IL that the ex.
emptions on dwellings, farm machin-
cry and mechanics tools provided by
enactment of the last session will not
be eeffctive this year. The laws did
not come into effect till July /, two
months after the assessments had
been completed for-the present year,
and in addition to this point of law
eral that 1t was in no measure the
desire of the legislature that this
measure should be effective till next
year.
In answer to three other queries,
he holds that where counties have
been divided since the last state or
federal census, the population for lee

cured by special local census; that
fines under the compulsory education
law are to be turned into the county

but that when 1t is available it must
be spent in the time prescribed in its
appropriation.

Numerous county nurses from diff

according to the officers of the United

harvest hands, as harvest in general
will not commence for a week or ten
days.
Attorneys representing James T.
Davis, who is serving a term in the
Sioux Falls penitontiary, have applied
for writ of habeas corpus with the
object of securing the discharge of
Davis from the prison on the ground
that he is being unjustly held in con-
fnement. In 1917 he pleaded guilty
in the Codington county circuit court
to the charge of escaping from the
Codington county Jail, and was SEN
fenced to a term of one year in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. At the ex-
piration of this sentence he was still
held in prison to serve another term

THE CROW'S-NEST

According to the daily papers some
forty towns and cities were represent
ed at the recent state convention OF
the newly organized chapters OF the
American Legion, composed of the
veterans of the World War. 1t was
noticed that there were no delegates
from Brookings in attendance and 1t
is to be presumed that our soldier
boys have not started branch of the
organization here or else II was not
completed in time to send delegates
to the first annual state convention.
No doubt but what Brookings will be
represented at the second annual
meeting, for all that it needs Is little
active leadership to complete the or
ganization of a branch of the legion
in this county.
The next important question is a
building in which to hold the regular

a permanent one with room large
enough for all regular meetings and
an auditorium of sufficient capacity
to accommodate anniversary meetings
Of different kinds and which might be
made a source of considerable rev.
enue. We need an audience room in
this city which would accommodate
an audience of from 1,500 to 1000
people. 1t is understood that steps
are being taken at Watertown to take
over and enlarge the local G.. A. R.
hall and adapt it to the use of both
Something of the kind
might be done here provided that
grounds are of sufficient area to To-
cate such a building at that point.
This is merely a suggestion.

HOW TO DO 1T

When Dallas County. Texas, de.
cided that they needed large amount
of bonds to get the money needed TO
put the roads of the county in proper
condition, the people who were be-
hind the plan did not sit down and
do something in the dark. They went
right out to the people of the whole
county, the taxpayers, the property
owners, the ones who paid the bill,
and they explained to them just what
was needed and necessary TO make
the county the best In the state in
the matter OF good roads They
showed to these farmers and tax
payers how the good roads would
make hauling and travel easier How
they could bring bigger loads of prod
ucts to the market. How they could
save time in doing this. How they
could find more time in the day TO
do more things connected with the
business of their farms. Then they
showed to the owners OF the land
now this new scheme OF highway 8
How the better road would reduce
the time in travel from the market
and so to all intents and purposes
make their farms nearer the trading
point They planned for series OF
roads that would place all the sec
tions of the county in direct commu-
nication with each other and with
the county seat They went further
and planned belt line OF highways
that circled the county not so far
from the border and thus brought the
distant portions of the county III di-
rect communication with all other
portions. The county commissioners
some time ago adopted very wise
plan for county highways and issued
little map Of the same. This system
was very comprehensive and provided
way to place all portions OF the
county in fairly direct connections
with each other. Now Is the time 10
get out this map perhaps the COM
missioners can find some improve
ment on their plans OF the past, per-
haps there should be road added
or one taken away or changed. What
ever the plans were then, they will
form a basis at least. upon which to
formulate something to go before the
voters OF the county and ask for CO.
operation. There are at least dozen
good arguments In favor Of perma-
nent highways to one that can be
advanced against them. Now Is the
time to get busy. We cannot build
these all at once. it will take time,
but we can get the start. We can
also get the whole proposition before
the people and IL we do, there seems
no reason why all who desire to see
their land increase in value, who de-
sire better facilities for reaching their
markets, will not come out strong for
a system Of real roads of perma-
nent nature for Broohings County.
This is no local m&tter, 1t is county
matter. Let us all get busy, We are
all interested. Let's have a county
organization of the whole people. Call
the meeting at once.

busting or cleaning without making the
wood, in time, look parched. Putting the
oil and turpentine in the water, as di-
rected, makes it possible not only to
wash the wood, but to redress it at the
same time.
A good polishing mixture is equal
quantities Of turpentine and linseed oil.
The amount mixed depends, Of course,
on how much of it is needed. If this
mixture is used, and the rubbing con-
tinued long enough (this is most impor-
tant), it will produce beautiful polish
with a lustre that far excels shellac or
varnish The sickness Of the oil is
counteracted by the turpentine, and
hence good results are obtained
Lemon oil, if used alone, has an ad-
vantage over linseed oil if it is used by
itself, because lemon oil is drying oil
or one that partially evaporates, while
linseed oil is like olive oil, non-drying
and non-evaporating. Kerosene is espe-
cially a cleanser, but with this, too, all
the surplus oil must be ped off. By

ing brush. In the absence Of that, the
flannel to be used for rubbing may be
tied to the soles of the feet, and by
"scuffing" the polishing may be accom-
plished One can readily see that this
is not an easy method.
To Shellac or Varnish
Shellac or varnish should be of the
very best quality to warrant their use,
waxed or oiled floor giving much better
service If the housekeeper attempts to
do her own shellacking, she must choose
the best quality and be willing to pay
the price. Have the shellac thin, SO
that it goes on without stringing. The
secret of putting on shellac is to use
long, straight strokes, as irregular lift
ing strokes will let air into the shellac
and cause it to turn white. A good
shellac dries quickly-almost instantly
and that is the reason that the strokes
must be regular and even. If one shell
laos wood, rubs it down with light,
even stroke with steel wool (size 00)
until no shine remains, and then wakes
