REV. r.. c. KEAGY TO BRooKINGs.

Rev. r. c. Keagy, who has been
state organizer for the Young Mems
Christian Association for the state Of
South Dakota, has just been appointed
to the pastorate of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of Brookings, South Da-
kota, and moves from Sioux Falls this
week. The appointment was made by
Bishop Mitchell. The Brookings church
has a mebership or seven hundred,
and since the South Dakota State
College is located there unusual OPP
portunities for distinctively Christian
work are offered Mr.. Keagy. Rev. Mr..
Keagy and Bishop Mitchell were as
sociated in work over seas during
the war, and no doubt the acquain-
tance made then is responsible for the
appointment at this time. The church
at Brookings pays its pastor a very
handsome salary, and gives the pastor
and his family the ue OF a paronage.
The change for Mr.. Keagy also means
that he has severed his connection
with the Upper Iowa Conference and
has been admitted to the South Dakota
Conference.

a fleet of Santa Claus ships that are
taking tons of Christmas mail to

Mail steamer Ecuador, sailed from
here to-day. Aboard the Ecuador was
Miss Floy Cooley, Of Manchester,

Postal authorities report this year
the heaviest mail shipments ever
sent to the Orient and local shipping
men regard the consignments as in
dicating the greatly increased number
of Americans in Japan, China, the
Philippines and other Asiatic coun-
tries. The Pacific Mail liner Colusa,,
which was the last ship from here
that will reach Calcutta before Christ
mas, took more than $50 tons of first
class Christmas mail for Manila, and
ports on her way to India. The Ecua-
doris shipment was fully as heavy and
other vessels of the Pacific Mail
fleet are loading similar cargoes OF
gifts.

PROFITEERINGs

A good friend of the Democrat re-
lated to us an incident that might
possibly come under the heading of
profiteering. He tells the following
incident: "A lady living near Man
chester brought to one of the stores
a bushel of plums, and received one
dollar for the fruit. The next day a
sister OF the lady. who, the day before
delivered the plums to the store. Went
to the same store to purchase some of
the plums, and was informed that
they were then worth $500 per BUSH
ell" We are not informed whether
she bought any of the fruit. Possibly
this was reasonable margin. for
perishable fruit.

bund" is the name Of a Jewish vege-
tartan organization which has been
founded here and has already opened

The organization Of separate Jew
ish vegetarian society was due to the

ticularly to the anti-Semltism dis
played in the already existing German
vegetarian league. Recently the Of
fetal organ Of this league has been
printing editorials eliminating the

dation Of cooperative Jewish farming
colonies, and maintains that the es-
tablishment of a Jewish Palestine will
make possible more satisfactory and
friendlier feeling between the Jews
and other nations.
