JOIN HEALTH CRUSADERS

Every school in BrOOkings county
IS being urged to join in the modern
health crusade movement and every
pupil, If is hoped, will play the health
game this year. Literature explaining
the crusade program and health charts
have been sen to every village and
rural school by Miss Sadie Anderson,
Red Cross county nurse.
The modern health crusade is a
movement that has enlisted more
than 5000, 600 American children. It
is essentially a system of teaching
and Of acquiring good health habits
and interest in public health. Through
elements of play and romance, and
various appeals suited to child psy-
chology, it gives children the motive
needed for the practice of hygiene.
Under the crusade system pupils do
the duties which are explained in
books Of psychology and hygiene, but
too often are left undOne.
The results of the crusade are ply
steal improvement and prevention Of
disease among children and their fam
lilies, moral discipline and the awak-
ening of community responsibility.
Children from 6 TO Is years of age
may become modern health crusaders
by doing the official health chores and
agreeing to the pledge on the certid-
cate of enrolment. Persons older
than 16 who meet the requirements
laid down may become crusaders in
senior membership.
South Dakota ranks high among all
the states in interest taken in the
movement and results shown. To
make a success of the crusade in
Brookings county will require the
close cooperation Of teachers, parents
and pupils.

HAVE WILD DUCK FEED

The Bookings fire department had
one OF their annual ge~t-together festi-
walls at their headquarters in the City
hall on Tuesday evening and put on
one of the best feeds it has been our
good fortune to sample in a long time.
1t was a wild duck feed and the man.
ner Of cooking and serving this de-
licious dinner would do credit to the
best chef in the land.
The shooting of the game and the
preparation OF this duck feed must
have consumed no small amount Of
time and hard work. None but our
fire laddies would have considered such
a thing. Plates were laid for fifty
and his Honor the mayor and the city
commissioners, city attorney and the
publishers of the Press and Register
were present as guests.
Fire Chief liver Dybdahl presided at
the punch bowl and was ably assisted
by the other members of the fire de
partment in the amenities of the oc-
tiSioll. NlSol allh cilBtu
talks followed the dinner. Mayor II.
l.. Flittie. II. b. Mathews, w. NJ.
Cheever, r. A. Turner and Paul
butcher were called upon and Oscar
Johnson responded in behalf Of the
fire boys.
Besides the regular members Of the
department there were present as
guests a number of the old time force
and who are still on the roll as hon
orary members. Among this number
we noticed VIM. Cameron, Geo. Purdy,
II. F. H%arlodson, II. l. Stearns, L. C.
Dewing and Geo. Bishman. These
men joined the department along In
1888 OF some few years later.
The Oldest active members and who
are still fighting fire when the occa-
sion demands are Gilbert Gullick, /.
ID. Spooner and c. A. Gullick, all Of
whom have been on the force for
about thirtyrtwO years. Martin Gull
lick, c. E. Poole and C. f. Carlisle
are among those who have served
from sixteen to eighteen years and
are still on the active list.
The Bookings fire department Is
one of the best volunteer organiza.
tons in the state and, we believe,
have the best record of any in the
state when it comes to fighting fire,
In fact, the popular verdict here in
B%rookings has always been they are
too good" They eve let a building
burn down. Nevertheless we are
proud Of fire department.

State college students are all ready
for the greatest Hobo day in the his
tory Of the institution, which opens
tomorrow morning with a big mass
meeting of all of the students at the
college auditorium at $3.50 a. m. At
1000 o'clock everyone viii be IN their
costumes ready to line up for the
parade. The parade will start from
the campus at 1920 and will proceed
down Eighth street to the north end
of Main street where it will execute
a column left and march south through
the main stem to the railway station.
Then il will turf back up Main street
up to Kendall's corner. The parade
is scheduled to arrive on Main street
about 1l:15 a. m. 1t is unnecessary
to make any statement to Brooklngs
people that the costumes n comic
features Of this parade are worth COM
ing miles to see. The parade this year
is expected to be the biggest scream
OF them all. Weather conditions are
expected to be good and the weather
man has promised to live up to these
expectations.
A representative of the Pathe News
service will be here with a motion
picture camera and will take moving
pictures of the parade and other fea-
lures for the well known Pathe news
reels which are shown all Owe the
country. The whistle for begging
blows at l1:40, and then the bewhis-
kered hobos start on their rounds to
the good natured housewives Of Brook
ings for handouts. The housewives
have been cautioned for the sake OF
economy not to be too generous with
the handouts so that the food will not
be wasted. Because Of weather con
artiUns it has been decided to hold

stead of the college grove as planned
The dinner will begin at 1900 O'Clock

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The fourth Red Cross roll call will
be held in Bookings county concur
rently with the roll call all over the
nation, from November II to 25. The
roll call will open on Armistice day
in every county in the United States.
The work in Brookings county will be
supervised by Chaplain G.. p. Squires,
advisor to the vocational men at State
college. One noticeable feature of the
drive this year is hal one half of the
membership fees collected will go into
the local fund for use in Brookings
county. This fund is to be used for
the prevention of disease and cpl
denies, for the promotion of health,
relief to disease stricken families, re-
lief in case of fire, flood or explosions,
etc, here in BrOokings county. AS a
concrete example Of the effect Of tbs
fund Of the Red Cross is the Red Cross
county nurse and the home service
worker that we now have in Brook
ings county. During the war the peo-
pie supported the Red Cross to help
the boys overseas, but now the people
are asked to support it to help them
selves at home.

NEED LONG FARM CREDIT

The South Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation suggests a reason why the
farmers need long term credit as fol-
lows: The average manufacturing in
stitution finds it possible to urn over
its capital investment from one to
ten times per mum. The farmers,
on the other hand, being entirely de-
pendent upon the slow processes of
nature does well if he turns over his
invested capital once in four years.
The aggregate value of one years
crop on any farm rarely exceeds %
per cent of the total amount invested
in land, buildings, equipment, etc.
Some Of the crops are usually fed to
live stock thereby making the turn
over even less frequent. 1t is there
fore imperative, that the farmer re-
ceive a correspondingly long credit If
he is to conduct his business eff
GENTLY. If credit were extended to
the necessary commodities and non
essentials were denied credit during
the present emergency, funds would
be automatically released for u e more
urgent necessities of agriculture and
those industries upon which it is de
pendent. Labor would also be re.
leased from non-essential to essential
industry.

MINNESOTA SCHOOL SHOWS SUR
PRISING STRENGTH IN

ROBERTS SCORES IN LAST PERIOD
Vests Men Outplay Visitors In
Greater Part of Game But
Unable to Score.

1t was doped to be an easy victory
for State, but Manchester surprised
everyone last Saturday when they
held Coach Vests football marvels
to a 7 to 7 tie on State field. State
college had the superior team and
outplayed the visitors the greater part
of the game, but unforeseen mishaps
and fumbles prevented State from
scoring until just three minutes before
the game ended. At that time the
outlook was blue for State and many
gave up hope that she would be able
to tie the score. Manchester booted
territory, but two passes, Johnson to
Tommeraasen for % yards and John
son to Carey for so yards more,
brought the ball down on MacAlester's
12-yard line. A plunge through the
line by Roberts put the ball over the
line and the cheering stands went
mad. The goal was kicked and the
score tied.
In the first quarter Manchester
played a strong offensive. Late in the
period Mac punted 70 yards, which
was the longest punt of the game, to
States 10-yard line. State punted back
but the ball went out Of bounds at
her own 28-yard line. Two successful
forward passes by Manchester brought
the ball to States 5-yard line when the
quarter ended. At the beginning OF
the next quarter State held them with
out gain for three downs, but on the
fourth down State was penalized for
unnecessary roughness and MacAles-
ter had the ball for first down with
five yards to go. Claffy, Macs star
quarterback went over States goal
for a touchdown. He also kicked goal.
