saw the dean and talked to him. He
made it very evident to us that we
were not wanted at Oxford till the
7th of October and that it would
be a good idea to go to London OF
somewhere else till that date, other
wise we would have to obtain spec
ial permission to remain there.
We got fixed up at hotel there
and had tea. I'm a regular tea
hound now. Tong, the S. A. E. from
Arizona, had found out we were
there and came down to see US. He
is splendid fellow a little older

his rooms that night and to go to the
theatre with him. We went and en-
ioyed it quite a good deal. The
next morning we came to London
I'll write more about Oxford itself

Tong and some others told US to
come to Washington Inn In London
and that is where we are. Five OF

In the absence of a regular or a
visiting minister at Central Baptist

was devoted to the calling of a pas

POPPY DAY SATURDAY

Poppy Day will be observed in Brook

Day has been instituted by the Ameri-
can and French Children's League, a
national organization of the two sis
ter republics. in an effort to meet the
needs Of the many thousands of Under
fed, underclothed children OK the in
vaded regions of tauce, many of
whom show symptoms of tuberculosis
and other diseases Induced By their
experiences, depriva,ions and shock,
such as mental unbalancing, rheuma-
tism and wounds.
Mrs. Madeleine S. Bemies. chairman
Of the Poppy Day in Brookings, who
recently returned from a visit to
France, says: "These little innocent
wrecks of humanity need reconstruc-
ton. France is still stunned by the
bewildering losses and miseries affect
ing every detail of her national life,
but is sturdily buckling down to the
biggest task that any nation has

do everything at once, and the women
of France are asking the people of
the United States to help reconstruct
their woebegone children with proper
food, clothing, housing and medical
attention"
Ladies and girls will call upon the
people of the city for their friendship
offerings for this urgent cause, and
they ask all who can give small or

PLAN TO GRAVEL ROADS

A plan is under consideration to
raise sufficient funds Immediately to
gravel the east and west road through
Brookings so as to prevent a repeti-
ton next year of the terrible condi-
tion Of that road last spring. Since
there is no chance of state or federal
aid in the near future, it is planned
that the citizens of Brookings sub
scribe $4,000 to $500 for the west
road between here and Volga, and
81, 500 to $4,000 for the east road, pro-
vided that the county will give an
equal amount for the improvement of
each road. 1t is not known whether
the county commissioners will meet
this plan favorably, but the general
opinion indicates that it would be a
very wise course to follow. 1t would
save the county half OF the cost of
graveling the roads and it would be
of equal benefit to the city of Brook
ings to have the roads fixed now in
stead of at some unknown future date.
Mayor T. l. Flittie and several other
prominent business men of BroOkings
are heartily in favor Of the plan.
