The High Cost of
Shoes Gets WALTON

Ten cents to twenty-five cents d
pair is enough profit f, any maker
of work shoes" says Geo r. Harsh,
head of the Harsh & Chapline Shoe Co,
of Milwaukee, makers of the famous
Lion Brand and Steven Strong work
shoes for men and boys.
For 10 years we have been trying
to make the best work shoes in the
country. TO do this we even had to
put up our own tannery, buy the hides
and do our OVID tanning, as we could
find no leather in the open market
good enough to go into Lion Brand
shoes
That We have come close to sue
cess Is evidenced by the sale of more
than 100000 pairs through thou
sands of stores. Last year alone the
shoe buying public bought more than
$6,0OO,OOO worth.
Lion Brand Shoes are so popular
We could probably go right on doing
business through the stores. But l
believe there should be fewer profits
between the producer and user" con-
tinueu MI. HARSH.
by selling direct to the wearer we
cut out the profit of the tanner, iobber
and store keeper, as well as the sales
mans expense, and are able to save
the buyer of Lion Brand work shoes
from one dollar to three dollars pair.
ut took lot of courage to change
our selling policy, but we believe the
buying public is ready for the change
and that our action in stepping over
the mddleman to the user will be fol-
lowed by other large manufacturers of

SCHOOL BUILDING
AGAIN THE SUBJECT BEFORE THE
BOARD OF EDUcATiON-BiDS
ARE ASKED FOR
PUBLIC NECESSITY COMPlS THE ACTION
Building Can Be Built With Money
On Hand, But Not Finished and
Fully Equipped.

The Board of Education is advertis-
ing for bids on the general construc-
tion work Of the new Brookings high
school building, according to the speci-
fications as made by the architects,
Tyrie & Chapman of Minneapolis.
The board has wisely decided that
the necessities of the case fully war
rant some action. The purpose is TO
get bids on the general contract with
a view to getting the building up and
follow with the furnishing and equip
ment, going as far as they can with
the money placed at their disposal by
the bond election.
Interviews with contractors and ex-
perts in building materials and labor
has convinced the board that further
delay is useless and they propose to
take the bull by the horns and go
ahead with the project. 1t is well
known that to complete the building
according to plans and specifications
will take more money than is now
at their disposal, but there is such a
crying need for the accommodations
that the new building will afford, that
the board is fully convinced that by the
time they get the building up and
which will take a year at the least
calculation, the people Of BrOokings
will rally to their support with a .suf-
ficient sum to finish it in a manner
that will do credit to the city known
as the educational center of South
Dakota.
Brookings people are beginning to
see the folly Of these makeshift build
ings placed on the campus and are
constantly criticising the board for
their inactivity. The Register is sure
they will be pleased to learn that ac.
ton Is being taken looking toward
this long needed Improvement

Sick and wounded soldiers are no'
receiving the treatment guaranteed
them by law" Representative Johnson,
republican of South Dakota, who
served in the American Expeditionaiy
Forces in France. declared today. "Be-
cause of ignorance or negligence. or
because of wilful disregard of the laws
by Carter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, Of Rupert Blue. surgeon-general
Of the United States" said representa-
tive Johnson, "sick and wounded Ameri-
can soldiers are receiving treatment
that cannot be justified by anyone who
has any regard for the wellbeing Of
the men"
Replying to Representative Garner,
democrat, Texas, who inquired the
basis of the charge against the off,
cials, Representative Johnson, asserted
that funds to provide hospital facilities
had not been used because Of the oppo-
sition of officials to taking over the
Chicago Speedway hospital and that
because Of this attitude funds for
other hospitals were not being spent.
American soldiers who have been
seriously wounded and who had been
and ought to be receiving treatment
for their wounds, were requested to
leave the hospital and discontinue the
treatments in order that other men,
in more serious conditions, might take
their hedc in tha hosnifal
"In these same hospitals" the South
Dakota representative added, "men
who have been gassed are Quartered
in dark Railways where no ray Of sun
| light has been, or ever will be, per-
mitted to enter, and this, in spite Of
the fact that since March 3, 1919,
fs9 $500. 900 mas been available and could
and should have been used.
"If this condition is permitted to
exist for few months more, there
will be thousands Of wounded and sick
American soldiers who need treatment
and will be unable to secure it"
Johnson said that on last December
7th, he saw 60 men at the Fort Sheri-
dan army hospital, who were not fed
and many others who could not secure
sufficient food"
/ He added that his complaint of this
to Secretary Baker resulted in an in
vestigation which, admitted the truth
of the complaint, land an attempt to
remedy the situation.

RENDERED NICE PROGRAM

The annual faculty recital by the
college department of music Friday
evening attracted even a larger audi
ence than usual and the program was
equalled, if it did not excel, the usual
high standard of the department.
Miss Wynn's numbers were con
summated with beautiful effect and
in splendid voice. The aria from
"Boheme" alone was sufficient to prove
her sense of musical and dramatic
values and her group of modern songs
proved equally artistic.
Miss Carlisle in her piano group
proved herself very talented pianist,
possessing both musical intuition and
fluent technic. An excellent inter
pretation was given to the Chopin
ballade. In her vocal group she dis
played an equal facility and a pleasing
voice.
The Laub "Polonaise" was given by
Miss Dvorak with fine artistic effect,
displaying excellent tone quality and
sure technic. The duets by Miss
Dvorak and Mr. Christensen were also
extremely delightful, in tone, shading
and blending.
Mr.. Peterson impaired to the mum
bers of his piano group a technical
brilliancy and interpretative finesse
which has always attended his work
and attracted the esteem and admira-
ton of the public The tone color of
the pleasing "Au Lac de Wallenstadt'
was particularly appreciated although
the eleventh rhapsody of List with
its brilliancy was very popular num-

IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE

Next week Monday the ownership
and management of the BrookingS
creamery will pass from Thos. Bang
to the new owner, |. j. Bibby, change
in ownership which was announced
by the Register several weeks ago,
Mr.. Bibby comes to Brookings with
splendid recommendations as a busi-
ness man and creamery operator. He
comes here from Madison, but before
his recent residence in South Dakota
he had an extensive experience in his
line Of work, and the patrons Of the
creamery are fully justified in antici-
pating a continuance of the high
standard maintained by this local con-
cern.
Mr.. Bibby was graduated from the
dairy department of the State college
and after leaving college here he was
for four years instructor in dairy man
featuring at Pennsylvania State col
lege. Following that he was employed
at Grove City, Pa, and in the dairy
department of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. His father was for
twenty-five years engaged in the
creamery business in Wisconsin, and
so it seems he has naturally grown
up in the business. He has announced
his intention to invest at least $4,000
in his initial improvement Of the al
ready we'll equipped plant which he
has purchased, and he will enlarge his
facilities for manufacturing ice cream.
Brookings business circles welcome
Mr.. Bibby to this community and will
gladly cooperate with him in enlarg-
ing and improving his business.
Mr. Bang, who is retiring from the
business. has not announced his plans
for the future, but Brookings county
people, who know him as a thorough
business man. a public spirited citizen
and a good neghbor, sincerely hope
his plans are not such as will take
him from Brookings. If he must leave
they will follow with good wishes for
success wherever he may go and in
whatever business he may engage

HENRY LEE IN TROUBLE

Henry Lee, who formerly lived in
rested Saturday evening at Huron, ac-
cording to the Daily Huronite, and Is
held under $500 bonds in connection
with the disappearance Thanksgiving
evening from Huron of a 14-year-old
girl, Alma Mulhollan. Ever since the
DISAPPEARANCE of the girl November q
the Huron police had been following
many misleading clues in an endeavor
to find her. Her mother had offered
$50 reward for information, and be-
cause of the youth of the girl the po-
lice of many cities interested them
selves in the case The first valuable
clue came last week when the chief
Of police of Omaha wired the Huron
police that the girl could be found at
the Grand Central hotel in Denver,
but when Officer Miller of Huron, with
brother of the girl, went to Denver
the girl had gone to Colorado Springs,
where she and a man named Salladay
were arrested. Since then, however,
the Huron officer is said to have be-
come convinced that Salladay is not
criminally involved in the matter. Be-
fore returning from Colorado Springs
the officer wired the Beadle county
states attorney to arrest Henry Lee,
who is now living in Huron. The
connection of Lee with the case Is
not yet disclosed, but the story is cur
rent in Huron that Lee drove the girl
TO Brockings the night she disappeared
and that she took train from here
on her journey to Colorado.
The following from the Daily Huron
ite tells the story of the case as it
has been disclosed to date:
THE mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Alma Mulhollan. a.
year-old Huron girl, was cleared when

girl from Colorado Springs. Were he
