THE RACE IS ON
IN BIG CAMPAIGN
FIRST COUNT MADE INDICATES
A CLOSE RACE FOR
DODGE CAR
PROVE II IS NO CHEAP SKATE AFFAIR
1t is Anyone's Race Members at
the Bottom Today May Be at
Top Next Week.

When you say that interest IS being
shown in the Registers Salesmanship
Club and Greater Circulation Cam
paign, you are putting it very mildly,
for never before have the people of
Brookings county looked upon any en-
terprise with as much enthusiasm as
they are now showing. The people
of Brookings county have confidence
in the Register, they have come to
the conclusion that this is to be a
REAL thing, that everyone is assured
of a square deal, and the ambitious
people are already taking advantage
of this exceptional opportunity to own
a SLABS Dodge Touring Car in ex-
change for a few weeks spare time.
The public has decided that this Cam.
paign is no cheap skate affair" and
therefore it is creating a great deal
of enthusiasm and excitement. They
know that we are absolutely in earn
est, and many people are waiting for
some live member to come and get
the credits on their subscription. Why
shouldn't you have them? 1t is mere
ly a question Of who gets there first.
Do not wait; go and see all that you
can today. II you wait, there may be
someone ahead of you tomorrow.
Today marks the real beginning OF
the Craftsmanship Club Campaign. 1t
is off with a bang! In this issue will
be found the first count of credits and
the first standings of the members up
to last night, May 18th.
A glance at the list will show that
this is to be some race. In most In
stances just a few subscriptions would
change the lineup completely and
crown the new leaders. No has
a big lead, nc one is hopelessly beaten,
in fact the first count proves more
c~onclusively than words that there are
big opportunities for ambitious men,
bers, and an equally big opportunity
for present club members to lead the
entire field in a comparatively short
time.
Taking the $4,000 extra credits
which are issued with every club Of
$500 worth of subscriptions into con
sideration the totals today are ex-
c~eptionally small. They will not re-
main that way very long, however.
An inspired few will see the posi-
bilities, step in and get a start that
will make it almost impossible for
get that kind of an inspiration.
1t is anyone's race. There is moth

SHRINE CLUB ORGANIZED

Without a dull moment in a whole
Shriners from Brookings and neigh
boring towns with their wives greatly
enjoyed the banquet and program at
the lodge rooms Of the Masonic Tenn
pie last Thursday evening at which
the Brookings Shrine Club was organ
lied. DR.. w. Z. Johnson, president
of State college, presided at the ban
quet. All of the members of the Sioux

j. d. Gill. through whose efforts the
cub was organized, gave a shor- talk.
Myrtle Grape Of Bruce, a V a couple
of delightful readings. The Harmony
-Four Quartette sang a number of
songs. Then many and various anus
ing stunts took place that were great
fun for all, both participants and spec
tatOrs. The Shrine Club was perma-
nently organized with all of the tenn
porary officers made permanent. They
are: J. D. Gill, president; Frank
Kremer, vice-president; A. T. Evans.

the members of Ell Rad Temple of
Sioux Falls, who reside in or around
Brookings.
While the Ell Rad officers were in
the city, Mr.. Gill took them up 10 the
college with the view Of recommend
ing that a full Shrine ceremonial be
put on there. The officers received
the idea very favorably and were i'm
pressed with the advantages of the
college for a ceremonial and it is
probable that arrangements will be
made for the event to take place next
January.

STATE OF TRADE

The state Of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was quieter. Cold weather and
strikes of seamen, builders, printers
and paper-mill hands retarding influ-
ences in di~stributive trade, collections
and some industries. Lines affected
by strikes apparently resigned to TEN
porary embarrassmentS. Steel work
ers accepting cuts as foreshadowing
possible increased output. Easy
money, rally in grain prices, better
railway earnings, stronger exchanges
and higher stock markets regarded as
really favorable basic elements. Slight
subsistence in failures. Bank clear
ings for week show expansion, but for
four months show recession TO 1919
levels. Mail~order trade shows smaller
declines than in earlier months.
Weeks price movement shows de-
clines and advances balancing, but
food index again lower. April iron
output lightest in thirteen years. Corn
and cotton planting and growth re-
tarded. Wheat, oats and grass grow
rapidly. Big wheat crop in sight.

WEI
TRACK TEAM TO VERMILlION

The State college track team with
high school track team with Coach
r. Armstrong left this morning for
Vermillion to take part in the dual
meet between the university and State
track and field meet to be held IN
conjunction with each other tomorrow.
Although the odds favor the univer-
sity strongly, Coach West and his
team feel hopeful that they may sur
prise the Coyotes in a few events
and give them a great deal harder
run for honors than they expected.
Two Of States best men will not
be able TO compete this spring and
with the loss of Monk in the mile
and half mile, Hegg in the two mile
and Funk in the dashes and hurdles,
Coach c. A. West has had a difficult
time in developing a team able TO
compete with the we'll balanced vet
eran aggregation which will repre-
sent the university.
Captain Jimmie Stout has been
handicapped thus far by the need of
concentrating on his studies due TO
the spring examinations of the state
board of pharmacy. Stout, however,
has vaulted the bar at the 10-foot
mark and has jumped around 90 feet.
He will not do any training for the
high jump this year, but will concen-
trate on the pole vault and the broad
jump, -
Mccain took a place in the low
hurdles and the 100-yard dash at the
state meet last year and will prob
ably compete in these events again
this season. Jim Salisbury is doing
somewhat better in the shot and dis
Gus events than last year. State may
have to concede the "javalin throw to
Zimmerman and Whitlow of the Uni
versity, as one of Vests men have
been able TO make much of a record
with the spear
Motley of Lennon, and Barnes of
Iroquois, two freshmen, are showing
up in good shape in the dashes. Earl
Welty will run in the high hurdles
and Blocker, Shawhan and Thompson
in the half mile. Blocker, Shawhan,
Thornber, Montgomery and Smiley
will run in the mile. Knutson, Dye.
Davis. Burkhart and Willadsen will
run in the two mile. Sculley, Thune
and Page will compete in the broad
lump. George Patterson is a promis-
ing shot and discus man. Monte Mar
tin, individual point getter in last
years high school meet, will compete
in the dashes, jumps and pole vault.

POULTRY SPECIALIST ADDED

In response to an urgent demand on
the part Of the State Poultry Associa-
ton and the poultry raisers of South
Dakota, the extension division of State
college has added a poultry specialist
to its force. Clara NJ. Suffer of Cedar
Falls. Ia, has accepted the position
and will take up her work July l.
Miss Suffer has been engaged in
agricultural extension work for the
past five years, for four years as home
demonstration agent for Black Hawk
county, Iowa, and one year as special
ist the state office of home economics
extension work at Iowa State college,
Ames. She is president of the home
demonstration agents association CT
the state Of Iowa.
While having been especially trained
in general home economic work, the
line of work which has made her so
widely known I'VE the entire state of
Iowa is her poultry work with farm
women AS a poultry specialist, her
services have been in demand in many
other counties beside her own. Miss
Suffer has completed the home eco
nomics courses both at Iowa State
Teachers college, Cedar Falls, and
Iowa State college, Ames.

NO USE TREATING SEED CORN

Seed corn treatment with various
insect repellants, such as sulphur or
kerosene, will not prevent injury BY
cutworms," says A. L. Ford, extern
sion entOmolOgist at State college.
Many farmers in South Dakota have
used these materials on their seed
corn in the past and will undoubtedly
repeat the operation this year. Some
claim they have prevented damage
by such treatment, but in practically
every case the lack Of injury was due
to the lack of cutworms rather than
to the seed treatment.
"CutwOrms do not attack the seed
kernel itself, but cut off the young
shoots above the kernel. Any repel-
liant that can be applied to the seed
will not follow the young shoot up
yard toward the surface in amounts
large enough to have any effect on
the worms.
Furthermore, repellants which Will
not injure the terminating quality Of
the seed, are not strong enough 10
prevent the worms from entering the
soil surrounding the seed. All expert.
ments along this line have given mega
tive results"

With over three times as many
points as their nearest opponents
Brookings high school romped away
with first honors at the Sioux Valley
track and field meet held at State
field last Saturday afternoon in which
ing high schools from this section of
the state were entered. In spite Of
the cold wind that blew sQuarely
against the on the cinder path
and which stiffened the muscles Of
all participants, many records were
broken. In the final score Brookings
had a total Of SO, Sioux Falls and Wa
tertown tied for second place with
16 points each, Flandreau and Volga
tied with s points each, %IroQuois
scored 7 points, and White secured
n lone point. The other schools
failed to place in anysof the events.
In spite Of the loss of two of her
biggest point winners Martin and
Irwin, last year Brookings high re-
peated her performance this year in
overwhelming all other high schools
entered in the meet. Out Of twelve
events Brookings won six firsts and
won the relay race besides. Several
of the Brookings men who had never
been in a meet before, surprised all
fans by stepping out in phenomenal
form and winning first place against
stiff competition of experienced men
from Sioux Falls, Watertown and
other schools. Irwin Ryger of Brook
ings, vas the winner Of individual
hOnors with Is points. He captured
first place in the hundred yard dash,
the pole vault and the high hurdles.
In all of these events he stood head
and shoulders above all the rest. In
both races he broke the meet records.

GETS HEAVY SENTENCE

William Schumacher, who was ar
rested a short time ago with a large
distilling apparatus, mash and moon
shine in his possession, plead guilty
before Judge Skinner last Thursday 10
the charge of illegally manufacturing
intoxicating liquor and was sentenced
to sixty days confinement in the coun-
ty Jail with a fine in addition of $500
and costs. Sheldon Alderman plead
guilty TO two charges of grand larceny
and was sentenced to six months inn
p%risonment in the penitentiary with a
fine of 500 and costs for each offense.
The penitentiary sentence was sus-
pended on condition he paid the fines
and costs. The first charge was for
stealing so chickens on April l from

PROF. F. E. MCCALL RESIGNS

Prof. Frank +. Mccall, associate
professor of horticulture and extension
worker at State college for the last
two years, has resigned to accept a
position as general manager Of the
South Dakota Potato Growers Elk
change. He will begin his new work
June /, and will have his headquarters
at Watertown. The Potato Growers
Exchange is a new cooperative mar
keting organization with q capital
stock of $1,000 Prof. Mccall played
an important part in the organization
of the exchange and perhaps no man
in the state is as well equipped or
more capable Of successfully manag-
ing the new exchange. Mr.. Mccall has
had wide experience in potato culture
and is a mar Of proven ability. His
work as a lanscape gardener in Brook
ings has been notable. The beautify-
ing Of the college campus has been in
his charge during his stay here and its
present appearance speaks well for his
efforts. State college loses a valuable
worker, and Brookings loses a good
citizen and a live booster when Mr..
Mccall leaves for his new work at
Waterfowl, but We hope TO retain him
as a friend at least.

IMPROVING RAILROAD PARK

Through the activity Of the women's
clubs of Brookings and their commit
tee composed of Mrs. B. T. Green,
We A. Mears and Mrs. r. A. Larsen,
work Of planning and planting
4 { railroad park has been going for
ward rapidly. Some years ago DR.. n.
E. Hansen, horticulturist at State col
lege, planned the park but the work
was never completed. On Monday Dr..
Hansen, assisted by A. H. Larson,
horticultural foreman, VIM. B. Wood,
college florist, and the entire fresh
man class in horticulture. spent the
afternoon in planting flower beds and
shrubs, plotting curves for the drive
way and other landscape gardening.
Considerable material in the way of
shrubs, p%erennials and flowers has
been donated by the ladies and plant
ed in groups south Of the beautiful
hedge of Tartarian bush honeysuckle,
which by the way is considered to De
the finest in the state. In the park
dle several SpCSIIllcuo VI Xix A>loDC
weeping willow, originally imported
and named by DR.. Hansen. One large
flower bed of dahlias and gladioli was
planted Monday afternoon and more
will follow later. In the main north
eastern entrance will be noted sew
eral fine specimens of the Siberian
crimson single rose, Rosa rugosa, i'm
ported by Dr.. Hansen. 1t is planned
to plant a full collection Of these new
iLtroductions originated here at State
college or brought over from Siberia,
Russia, Turkestan, Mongolia and
Northern China by DR.. Hansen, and
place metal labels on each plant for
identification and description. BY keep
ing traffic off and maintaining a civic
pride in the padk it will be possible
to make it a beauty spot and an ex-
cellent advertisement and point of in
terest for the city.

Y. w. c. A. WILL OPEN CAFETERIA

A first class cafeteria and rest
will be opened in the j. ID. Wilson
property, just east Of the p~ostottice by
the Brookinss county Young Women's
Christian association about September
/. On the first floor will be a home
like and attractive dining room, a con
venient kitchen and a small waiting
room. On the second floor there are
three rooms which can be used as a
rest room and a girls club room or for
sleeping rooms, to be decided later.
For a number Of years the County
Young Women's Christian association
has been loking forward TO the time
when a rest room and office could be
opened nearer Main street than the
present Office in the public library.
The question of having a cafeteria in
connection with such a room has also
been brought up from time to time. IN
considering the latter proposition the
main question has been whether it
would pay out in a city the size of
Brookings. Huron and Mitchell both
have splendid little cafeterias which
are paying out well, but they Of course
are larger. During the last year, how
ever, it has beer demonstrated in a
city in Iowa the same size as Brook
ings that a small cafeteria we'll man
aged al pay out in a place where 1t
is needed.
The first of April, Miss Marian Hop
kins Of New York City. II Of the
national Y. w. c. A. cafeteria experts,
who helped establish this Iowa cafe
terra was in South Dakota and the
county board asked her to stop in
Bookings and look over the situation
here. After spending two days in
v~estigating locations and the posi-
bilities Of there being sufficient patrons
she decided that a cafeteria would pay
out If started in an economical way.
The best location available is the j.
ID. Wilson property, just east Of the
pOstOffice.
The cafeteria will be under the man.
agement Of a trained cafeteria director
and a capable kitchen staff. Varied
and we'll cooked meals will be served
at noon and night at a minimum cost.
A local committee have been fgur-
ing for some time OF the amount nee
essary to furnish and equip the build
ing and report that it can be done by
adding 81, 400 to the general budget.
The committee has also put the mat
ter before a number of the business
men and find them enthusiastic in ex-
pressing the need for such a place
and that they will back it up finan-
cially. The matter was then pre-
scented to a meeting Of the Brookings
members of the association who de-
cided in favor Of it by passing the
motion that the cafeteria and rest
room be included in the budget and
then go out and work for it,"
On account of the scarcity of cafe
terra directors it will not be possible
to obtain one until after the summer
school, so the cafeteria cannot be op-
ened until September. The money,
however, is to be raised or at least
pledged during the latter part Of May
and the local committee under the
leadership Of the county president,
Mrs. Geo. Roskie, are making plans
for it now. The total budget is 81, 900.
Miss Lillian Rohwedder, field finance
secretary, will arrive the first Of the
week to assist,
