ECONOMIC RESULTS
Of PROHIBITION

Albuquerque New Mexico, April Il
Beneficial economic effects of prohi-
bition are becoming evident through
out New Mexico. A. b Stroup, legal
representative of the Anti Sa loon
League. who recently returned from
a trip through the Pecos Valley, says
that 1.-The fact that Grant county. New
Mexico. has no grand jury and no
criminal cases for its spring term of
court speaks volumes for the sue
cess of the prohibition law. In every
county in the state there are fewer
criminal cases and less work for-the
grand jury this spring than ever in the
history of New Mexico. This may be
a coincidence, but l believe it can be
set down as a result OF prohibition"
st. Louis, April 1.-For the past
two months places formerly operated
as liquor saloons have been closing at
the rate of ten each day OF 500 re-
Gently closed, many have become
groceries, lunch rooms and pool halls.
Some have become confectioneries
Few OF the buildings have remained
unoccupied.

and loan companies and trust con-
Germs are reporting an unusual in
crease in savings deposits since pro-
llbltlen became elIeCt1Ve. Despite a
heavy increase in price in motion pic

exhibitors There has been a heavy
increase in trade at soda fountains

chinery to add to their output from

OF the large lk-distributing concerns
says that milk is coming more into
favor with men as a drink with meals
Such former saloons as remained in
business are closing very early The
night lounger has vanished, along
with the alcoholic cases. AT the city

tically deserted and the inehriate ward
at the city dispensary has been closed.

VICTORIES
AND TWO DEFEATS
BRookINos SUFFERS SLUMP ON
SUNDAY AND GIVES GAME
TO LAMBERTON
PPESTONE DEFEATED HERE MONDAY
Watertown and Candy Also Beaten
In Close Games, But Marshall
Won Yesterday, 81.

Three gameS won and two lost Is
the record of the Brookings team for
the last week. Watcrtown, Candy and
Pipestone were beaten in close games,
but Lamberton and Marshall were vic
torious in uneven and loosely played
contests. At Watertown last Thurs
day the game was undecided until the
last half of the ninth. The score vas
three to three at the beginning Of
the last frame. Powell and Wiser
both scored for Brookings in the first
half of the inning, making the count
5 to 8. Watertown tried to tie the
score, but Childs' long two-bagger
found only one man on the bases, SO
of Bookings. McNee and Lehman
pitched for Bookings while Croake
caught. Watertown's battery was
Childs and Sarkis. The game with
to be a costly one for the locals, al
though they won the game, 4 to s..
Higgins, the star twirler, injured his
hand in the game so severely as to
put him out of the game for some
time. Without his services the team
has been greatly handicapped.
Sundays game with Lamberton at
the south side ball park is a ore spot
with all Bookings fans. After piling
up a nice lead, so that many thought
the game was fairly on ice, the whole
team slumped and when the painful
affair was over Lamberton had won,
Is to 7. The crowd at the Sunday
game was a record breaker. Esti-
mates vary from 1900 to 5000 specta-
tors. The team redeemed themselves
somewhat Monday in their clean cut
victory over the strong Pipestone team
at the fair grounds. Fast and clever
work in the field prevented Kelly
Nations proteges' from scoring more
than two runs from their eight hits.
The final score IA 4 to g. Brookings
scored three Of their runs in the first
inning. Pipestone remained scOreless
until the eighth inning when they ran
in two scores. Batteries for Brook
ings: Higbee and Croake; for Pipe.
stone, Baar and HANDLER.
A game was scheduled with Elan
dreau to be played here Tuesday. but
through some misunderstanding Elan
dreau failed to arrive and the game
was called off. Yesterday the team
went to Marshall. Mimi, to play q re-
turn game and were defeated by a
score of 8 to /.

FIRST BUILDING MOVED

The first building built in Bookings
was moved this week from the ear of
Heywood's hardware store to make
room for a new 60-foot addition which
Mr.. Haywood is building to his store.
The old building was built by James
Natesta in 1879 and for many years
served as general merchandise store
and post office. 1t was also the first
home Of the Register in 1890. 1t has
been moved across the alley for the
present and will be torn down later.
The new addition will be one story in
height and built of tile. Mr.. Haywood is
going to use the new part for a first
class sheet metal working shop. When
equipped it will be as good as any in
South Dakota. In this shop will be
manufactured furnace fittings, gal
vanized water tanks, cave troughs,
stove pipe, skylights and ventilators.
This new shop has become necessary
in order to handle the large furnace
business which the Haywood company
has developed.

SCHOOLS WITHOUT TEACHERS

There are stu quite a large mum
Der of schools in the county that have
not yet hired their teachers" an
nounces Mrs. Mabel x. Trooien, coun-
ty superintendent Of schools, in re-
gard 10 the rural school situation. "If
we can keep our home teachers" she
adds, 81 think there Will be no great
scarcity, but If they go to other coun.
ties because of better pay, there will
be a shortage and a situation that will
be difficult to handle. The wages for
rural schools run as high as $3.50
per month, the average being prob
ably $120-$125. We are glad to re-
port that the seven-month schools are
becoming fewer. It is almost impossi-
BILE to hire a teacher for seven months
when there are eight and nine months
schools to be had. Furthermore, the
children in a seven-month's school do
not have time to cover the work
properly"

NEW TOURIST CAMP

Tourists on the Black and Yellow
Trail or on the King of Trails "a now
find a cool, sheltered grove on the
edge of town on East Sixth street,
where they may stop for a meal and
a rest, or camp for the night. The
camp is enclosed with a stout fence
and equipped with all the conveniences
of a camping place. A new we'll with
a clean new pump is located in the
center of the grounds. Two large
tables with benches have been butt
and a fireplace has been constructed
in a well chosen spot. This improve
ment is one of the best possible ad.
vertisements for Brookings, and has
been provided by the Commercial club
Of this city. Tourists, more than any
n else, appreciate an interest shown
in their welfare and this camp which
fills their needs so well, will leave
with them a memory Of the hospitality
of Brookings. Markers have been
placed on both trails directing tour
lists to the camp. and quite a number
Of tourists have already made use OF it.

NEW AeRoNoMlsT SECURED

South Dakota State college and ex-
ing secured the services of DR.. Arthur
T. Evans, for the position Of associate
agrOnomist. The appointment will
take effect September /. DR.. Evans Is
a practical farmer, having grown up
on a farm near Hoopeston. Ill. He 3d.
cured university training at Illinois,
at the University Of Colorado and at
Chicago, receiving the degree Of doctor
Of philosophy at the latter university.
He is a member of Sigma XII, the fore
most honorary scientific fraternity
in America, and Of other scientific So
cieties. For several years DR.. Evans
was employed by the United States
department OF agriculture on crop dis
ease Investigations with special atten-
ton to corn root rot and wheat scab
in the great plains area.
DR.. Evans is especially fitted by
training and experience to undertake
research and teaching not only in gen.
eral field crops but also technical
work in breeding discaseresistant
strains. His coming will make posi-
BILE a determined attack against the
ravages of corr and wheat by such
diseases as root rot and scab in South
Dakota. The need for a man with
training along these lines of crop in
v~estigation has been recognized by the
agronomy department for a consider
able time.
During the past year he has been
professor of botany at Huron college,

Dakota department of state hail insur-
ance. Thus he Is already acquainted
with South Dakota conditions. In Sc
curing the services Of a nan of the

has taken a decided step toward COM
pleting a thoroughly scientific organ
ization for attacking the problems of
agriculture.

FOllS ANTS
CERTfCAT|ON SENT TO WASHINGTON
Attorney Says Anti-suffrase ForceA
Will Make No Further Effort to
Stop Proclamation.

Certiication of Tennessee's rati1ca-
ton of the federal suffrage amendment
was placed in the mail Tuesday night
by Governor Roberts. Upon It's re-
ceipt by Secretary Of State Colby at
Washington, suffrage advocates ex-
pect issuance of the formal proclama-
ton making the amendment part Of
the organic law If the land and plac-
ing American wOmen on an equality
with the men at the ballot box. Gov
ernor Roberts made the c~ertification
after receiving from the attorney gen.
eral an opinion that the temporary
restraining order preventing the gov
eronr from taking such action had
been set aside. The announcement
that the governor had mailed the Ger.
tifcation was a bombshell in the camp
of the ~anti-suffrage workers and was
admitted as a great coup.
The anti-suffrage forces will make
no further effort to block the procla-
nation of the amendment by Secre-
tary Colby was the statement yester-
day by Attorney f. M. Smith at Wash
ington after Justice Siddons of the
district supreme court denied an anti
suffrage application for a restraining
order to prevent PRONUNCIATION of the
suffrage amendment by the state de-
partment.
