BROOkINGS MAN IN WRECK

The Los Angeles Daily Express of
February contains a story of thrill
ing automobile accident near Long
Beach, Calf, in which J. G. Miles Of
Brookings was severely cut and
bruised and narrowly escaped death
by burning when an overturned car
caught fire from burning gasoline Ac-
cording to the Express, the car in
which Mr.. Miles and Miss Gladys Cal
lahan of Long Beach were driving
ran into a ditch and turned over,
pinning them beneath it. The gaso-
line tank was crushed and the gaso-
line ignited. Only the timely arrival
of another car whose passengers rem
dered prompt assistance saved them
from horrible death. Mr.. Miles in.
juries are not reported as serious, but
his companion was so badly burned
that she was taken to a hospital for
treatment.

MRS. HAGEN SELLS BAKERY

The Hagen bakery is under new
ownership since Monday, but Brook
ings people are we'll pleased to know
that the new owner is a well known
and popular business man Of this city,
Mrs Hagen having sold to Thos. Bang.
who recently sold his Brookings cream.
cry Mr. Bang had no Intention Of
leaving this community, and his pur-
chase of the bakery insures his re-
manning here as a citizen and active
business man.
Ten years ago Mr.. and Mrs. o. A.
Hagen purchased the bakery and pro-
ceeded to build up a business in their
line second to none in cities of this
size. Since the death two years ago
of Mr. Hagen, Mrs. Hagen has con
tinued to manage the business with
signal success The bakery is now
doing large and profitable business
and she is disposing of it only because
the work of carrying it on is more than
she wishes to continue. She will CON
tinue here as a citizen and with her
loyal interest in the welfare of this
city and its business affairs she is
very glad to turn over the bakery to
so good a business man as Mr.. Bang.

United States Threatened Again With
Strike Of Railway Employees
Next Tuesday.

Former Crown Prince Frederick
William Of Germany has offered to give
himself up to the allies in place Of
the hundreds OF Germans demanded
for extradition on the list recently
submitted to Berlin, according to
telegram purporting to have come from
him, published in the Amsterdam Han
delsblad. The telegram, addressed to
the kings of England, Belgium and
Italy. the presidents Of France and
the United States and the emperor Of
Japan, says: "As the ex-crown prince,
wish to take the place of my country
men. II the allied and associated gov
ernments desire victim, let them
take me instead of the 900 Germans
who committed no other crime than
to serve their country in war"
His message was sent from Wier-
ingen Island, Holland Monday. His
message to President Wilson follows:
THE demand for the delivery OF
Germans OF every walk Of life has
again confronted my country sorely
tried by four years of war and one year
of severe international struggles with
crisis that Is without precedent in
the history Of the world as affecting
the life of a people. That a govern
ment can be found in Germany which
would carry out demanded surrender
Is out of the question; the conse-
quences to Europe of an enforcement
OF the demand by violence are incai-
culable; hatred and revenge would be
made eternal. AS the former success
sor to the throne OF my fatherland,
am willing at this fateful hour to stand
up for my compatriots. II the allied
and associated powers want a victim,
let them take me instead OF the 900
Germans who have committed no Of
fense other than that Of serving their
country in the war"
Wage negotiations OF the railway
employees with Director General Hines
reached a critical stage today and
insofar as the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen is concerned, a strike is
pending unless demands are satisfac-
torily settled.
President Lee of the union has
served notice on Hines that his men
are very insistent" and must have a
definite answer soon. To this Mr..
Hines replied that no statement Of
position could be made until he had
talked with the whole body of labor
representatives. Mr.. Hines made a
tentative appointment with Mr.. Lee
to consider the trainmen's demands.
Railroad administration officials un-
derstand a strike vote is being taken.

BECOMES ASSOCIATE EDITOR

H. Howard Biggar writes the Reg
lister to change his address to Des
Moines, Iowa, and in doing so he says,
81 am beginning work as associate
editor of The Iowa Homestead about
the 18th of February. My work is to
be combination of Office and field
work and l am to pay particular at.
tention to the Iowa farm bureaus
which now have nearly 100000 mem
bers. I will keep in touch with all co
operative movements such as live
stock shipping associations, COW test
ing associations, and various buying
and selling organizations so as to give
this news out to readers every week
am certainly delighted with the
prospects
If any Of my Brookings friends come
to Des Moines, / want them to know
that they will be more than welcome
at the Office and certainly shall ap
preciate seeing them and talking over
old times
The Register not only congratulates
Mr. Biggar upon the importance of the
position which he assumes this month
but would say that The Iowa Home
stead has secured a very competent
man for this field. His education and
experience in government work
throughout the country for the past
several years will prove Of great value
to that popular farm journal.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The city council was TO have met
Monday night to hear objections 20
the proposed paving of Fifth street,
but on account of illness of several
members of the council no quorum was
present and an adjournment was taken
to next Monday night, when the hear.
ing will be had. A week later, FebrI,
ary %, a meeting will be held for the
purpose of opening bids on the paving
ordered January 5. No bids have yet
been received on this work, but engi-
neers representing several cOnstruc-
tion companies have been here study
ing the proposition and the city Off
cials hope to have a number Of bids
to choose from. The only obstacle
to obtaining satisfactory contract
and the early beginning of the new
work that now seems possible may be
higher prices than anticipated, owing
to the high cost Of all materials and
labor. All interested hope that the
work may be begun as soon as the
frost goes out Of the ground.
Before the, paving in the Sherwin
addition can be done il will be neces-
sary to construct there ii blocks of
storm sewer and four or five blocks
Of sanitary sewer and this work will
be planned for by the council at its
next meeting II citizens of the south
side demand sewers in that part of
the city this matter will also be con
sidered by the council

SOUTH DAKOTA LEADS

The preliminary survey of South Da-
kota's and the nations livestock supply
having been completed by the U. S.
bureau of crop estimates, while the ag-
gregate crop values were secured IN
December, this is a propitious time
to reflect on the states agricultural
earnings.
According to the following figures
compiled by H. o. Hebrandson, field
agent for the department, South Da-
kota's per capita earnings in 1919 were
81, 900, as compared with $19075 for
the whole United States.
The season of 1919 was not so favor
able for grain and especially cereal
crops in South Dakota as was the sea
son of 1918, probably excepting corn
which was not so large crop as the
previous year, but of much higher
quality In 1918 South Dakota rose
to the eleventh place in the value of
crops produced in the United States.
In 1919 her place is the twenty-second.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that such a
rank is hardly doing the state justice,
since the size or area is not given con-
sideration.
If we may compare the wealth of
South Dakota with that of the entire
United States, then do we appreciate
the bountiful returns to the farmers
of this state. The total aggregate
wealth produced by 13 crops for the
year 1918 in the United States was
found to be $11,127, $4,000; in 1919
this valuation was increased, largely
because of the increased valuation Of
the different commodities rather than
increased production, to $12,421 ,342-
900. The livestock valuation for those
two years were respectively $S,827,-
S94 900 and $8,561, ,443 900. If we are
permitted to assume a hypothetical
figure of 110,00O,000 population for the
nation, this would indicate that in
1918 the United States produced a
wealth of SOL 16 in crops per capita
and $S0.25 in livestock per capita,
or total of $18141. In 1919 the per
capita production in crops was $11292
and in livestock $77.S3, or total pro-
duction of $19O.75 for each man.
woman and child in the nation.
Comparing this with our own state
of South Dakota, we find that the crop
produced in 1918 amounted to $751;
200 and in that year the livestock
amounted to $251,867, 900 or a total
per capita production of about S1,0S4
In 1919 South Dakota's crops were
not quite so bountiful and the total
valuation was placed at $279,524, 900
with a livestock valuation Of $214,-
$4,000, averaging $1,000 even for
each man. woman and child in the
state. This is assuming that the
states population is approximately
100000 as several authorities have
claimed
1t is true that it is hardly fair TO
say that the livestock valuation is
all new wealth created in the one
year, as we know this is impossible.
The comparison is merely made for
illustrative purposes. This high per
capita production is of course attained
because of the fact that such large
percentage of the states population
is farmers and since we have no large
cities.

FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT

Deputy State Fire Marshal Quigg
was in Brookings last Friday for the
purpose of investigating circumstances
surrounding the fire which on January
II damaged the old frame building On
Main street that was then occupied by
Max Kaplan, the lower story as a
shoe repair shop and the upper part
as residence. 1t will be recalled
that the family was absent when the
fire was discovered at about o'clock
on the morning of January II, Mr.
Kaplan having left town the night be-
fore to go to ST. Paul, Mimi, where
his wife and children had gone sew.
eral days before. The fire, when dis
covered by the proprietor of the res
taurant adjoining, was breaking
through the roof near the brick fue
which extended through the roof from
the rooms below. There was more
or less gossip at the time to the effect
that there were several jugs or other
containers about the house which ap-
parently had contained kerosene, but
the general evidence seemed to point
to an overheated stove or defective
flue as the cause OF the fire.
When Mr. Kaplan returned to Brook
ings several days after the fire he
stated that when he left the home in
the evening he left fire in the stove
and the state official is reported as
inclined to cxonerate him from any
suspicion OF wrong in the matter
further than possible carelessness In
leaving heated stove in the old build
ing. The machinery in the shop, said
to have cost more than $1,000 short
time before the fire, was not materially
damaged. but the family's wearing ap-
parei and household furniture in the
living rooms was entirely destroyed.
This was insured for $780,
While here Mr.. Quigg. with c. L.
Sorensen, chief of the local fire de-
partment. made a thorough inspection
of the Brookings high school building.
The state official Is said to have ex-
pressed himself as very well satisfied
with the condition in which he found
this building being kept as relates to
fire hazard. He noted particularly the
absence of old rags, paper or other
combustible materials in proximity to
the furnace or other places about the
buildings where fires most frequently
originate, and he spoke in commenda-
ton of those responsible for this de-
sirable condition

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
shows business generally quieter.
February opens less actively. De-
ranged foreign exchange quotations
and higher money rates depress secu.
rites and nearly all commodities dealt
in on exchanges. Food prices lower
at wholesale on the week. Iron and
steel and lumber strong and active.
Stormy weather and influenza operate
to affect manufacturing output and re-
tail buying Bank clearings at peak
mum for season of year Speculative
industrial stocks move lower. Bonds,
especially Libertys, weak.

GOING TO MINNEAPOLIS

Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Davis. who for
35 years have been living in Brookings.
will go next week to Minneapolis,
Mimi. Several months ago they sold
their suburban home at the southern
limits of the city and they have pur-
chased small acreage property in
Minneapolis, where they have planned
to make their future home. They re-
alize that in making the change after
so many years here they are leaving
many warm friends, but they hope to
overcome the homesickness they prob
ably will feel for some time and eventu.
ally find happiness and contentment in
their new home.

.AOJUTANT GENERAL
WELL KNOWN HERE
RECENT APPOINTMENT BY Gov
ERNoR NoRBEcK OF INTEREST
TO BRookINGs PEOPLE
OFFICIAL HAS LONG MILITARY RECORD
His Wife Once lived Here and is
Sister Of One of Brookings
Prominent Citizens.

A recent appointment by Governor
Norbeck, that of Lieut. William A.
Halle of Aberdeen to the position
of adjutant general for this state, has
something of special interest for
Brookings people. Twenty-Five years
ago Lieutenant Halle was a student
of State college, from which he was
graduated in 1897 as a bachelor of
science. Following his graduation he
chose as his wife one of the city's
finest young women, Miss Flora Aims
worth, who received the B. S. degree
year later than her husband Miss
Ainsworth is a sister of one of Brook
ings' old and highly regarded citizens
of today, F. H. Ainsworth. Following
their marriage the young people made
their home at Aberdeen, where the
present adjutant general began the
practice of law. Naturally there are
many living here who have continued
through the past twenty years to fol-
low the career of the young lawyer,
who has been not merely a successful
attorney but also prominent in other
life Two children came to the Halle
home, son and a daughter. Death
took the son a few years ago, but
the daughter, Miss Maurine, is now
attending college in Los Angeles,
where she and her'mother have been
living since the father gave up his
legal practice to enter active army
service early in the late war.
According to the story sent out from
Aberdeen to the press of the country.
Lieutentenant Halle has a long mill
tary record, dating from May %, 1898,
when he enlisted in the South Dakota
National Guard. In recognition Of his
work in the World War he holds two
Croix de Queries and a citation for
the d. S. NJ, awarded him for his work
in the Argonne- Meuse offensive in
1918. His command, the 147th Field
Artillery, was cited for it's excellent
work. He was recommended for a full
COlOHtlSHlp, Dul Tue termination OF
the war left this appointment unmade
In the Spanish-American war Lieu
tenant Colonel Halle also had an ac-
tive part from April 80, 1898, until he
was mustered out on October 5, 1899
Following the close of the Spanish
American war he was actively identi
fed with the South Dakota state
militia. In July Of 1917 he entered the
U. S. army service and attended the
school of musketry at Ft Sill, and
later the school of fire, in preparation
for overseas duty Soon after reach
ing France in March of 1918 he was
assigned to command the 102nd Field
Artillery. and later was assigned to
the 147th Field Artillery, with which
he so distinguished himself in the
fighting that followed His long and
meritorious military service insures
his fitness for the position to which
he has now been appointed in the
state military service. and his friends
all over the state are congratulating
not only Colonel Halle, but the gov
ernor as well for the excellent judg-
ment he has shown in his choice for
the important position of adjutant
general.
