Sterling of South Dakota at Washing
ton, d. c., writes to the Register as
follows:
with the realization that the extra
session of congress cannot adjourn

ators hoped that the senate might take
a months recess during a part of July

Senator Lodge offered a resolution for
a recess but it was defeated by a vote
of 81 to "a. Some of the western sena-
tors objected that the ecess would be
too short to make it worth while for
them to go to their homes. Others,
among them Senators Norris, Kenyon
and Sterling, stressed the Importance
of considering pending legislation
which it is hoped will alleviate condi.

Ex-SOLDIER KILLED

T. H. Lanutz OF Johnstown, Penn.
was almost instantly killed last Thurs
day night at Elkton when he put his
head outo of the box car door in which
he's was taking a free ride to take a
look around at the scenery of Elkton.
At that moment a sudden jerk of the
train while switching caused the side
door to close with great velocity and
Lanutz received the full force of the
blow with his head which became
pinned fast in the aperture. Coroner
B. T. Ride was called to Elkton the
next morning to take charge of the
case. After making an investigation
and searching the mans clothes he
learned his name, also an assumed
name which he used when working
for an eastern railroad. He found let.
ters addressed to Johnstown, Pa, so
he wired to the Red Cross in that city
to learn II possible the mans home
and to notify his parents. The Red
Cross succeeded In finding the mans
parents and the remains were shipped
to that place Saturday morning.

w. F. Kumlien, director Of the State

address before the Brookings Rotary

BY this means, said Mr.. Kumlien,
the farmers are only making an eff.

for the big investment they have
made in land. improvements, stock,
machinery, etc. "The average net
profit Of the average American farm.

said Mr.. Kumlien. 'The farmers
have really made their money fro,a

has come when, right here in Brook.

six per cent on his investment, pays
his overhead and makes a decent wage
