ANNIVERSARY OF DELUGE

Tuesday, May II, besides being the
Scandinavian independence day, was
the anniversary of the famous deluge
in Brookinss in 1892 when the down
town section of the city was submerged
as the result OF a cloudburst. In look
ing back into the files of the Register
of that date we find the following in
teresting accoun of the storm: "A
heavy rain set in at this point Mon
day night and continued all day Tues
day. At about 500 o'clock in the
afternoon a heavy rain cloud came up
from the southeast and swept over the
city. The storm was accompanied by
fierce lightning and the rain fell in
torrents. In less than twenty min
utes the flood assumed alarming pro.
portions. and the Easements in the
town portion were completely filled.
Near the corner of Main and Williams
streets the flood was almost deep
enough TO swim horses. The horses
in the hotel barn stood belly deep in
water when they were taken out.
When the flood was its highest point
B, F. Roddle took a boat and started
for c. ID. Dewing's stable to remove
a horse and Joe Mcdonald accompa-
MED him. When the horse had been
taken to high ground Ben and Joe
started to return the boat capsized
and while Ben stepped into water
waist deep, Joe landed on his head.
Doc. Moore was in Dewing's barn when
the deluge came and as the water
raised above the floor he mounted a
chair and then changed his position to
a barrel. The water kept on rising
and he was obliged to wade to safety.
Frank Neil went fishing along the
sidewalk"

VETS HAVE GOOD TIME

Every ex-service man who could get
away and make his way through the
dripping rain to the college armory,
was present Monday night at the first
reunion of World war veterans ever
held in the county. The affair was
planned by the American Legion post
of Brookings, assisted by their loyal
Womans' Auxiliary, in order to per-
feet a closer and more united organ
ization Of the service men of the
county to carry out the work and
principles upon which the %organiza-
ton is founded. The need of organ
ization is urgent at the present time
in order to handle the distribution Of
the state bonus effectively.
In a masterful address Attorney
Philo Hall discussed the principles
and purposes of the American Legion
as set forth in the preamble to their
constitution, which he stated was the
most remarkable brief embodiment of
all of the fundamental principles of
lADCl ~ JuSblSC, uClllOI dIy duu SliiS-
tianity he had ever read. The
American Legion member who lives
up to ideals set forth in the single
sentence which forms the preamble
of the Legion constitution will not
only be a good citizen but a good
Christian as WE'LL said Mr.. Hall, "for
it contains the essentials of those
three great documents, Christ's SER
mon on the mount, the Magma Charta,
and the Declaration of independence"
Following Mr.. Halls address, Ma
jor Van Fleet. commandant Of the
R. O. T. c. unit at State college, gave
a short talk explaining the new pol
icy Of the wal department in estab-
fishing summer training camps for
civilians, the formation Of a reserve
army resulting, and the desire Of Ad-
jutant General Halle to establish a
battery Of field artillery in Bookings
as a part of the South Dakota nation
al guard. Post Commander o. H.
Lawrence explained the part the
American Legion is taking in the dis
'tribution of the state bonus. The col
lege band furnished an excellent pro-
gram Of music. Carl Denies led the
crowd in a happy community sing of
a number of popular war time pieces.
Mrs. E.. H. Sexauer presided at the
piano. A wrestling bout between Kid
Hartwick and Carl Toliver proved to
be an interesting diversion. After a
hard tussle Toliver secured a fall.
One Of the most important events
of the evening "a the serving of a
feed which assumed the proportions of
a banquet by the members of the
Womans' Auxiliary. Sufficient food
had been prepared for 1000 men and
an attempt was made by the two or
three hundred men present to con-
sumo the entire issue of rations. Hot
roast pork, buttered rolls, pickles,
cheese, cake and coffee formed the
basis of the menu. The legion men
were loud in their praise of the aux
Hilary in their success in preparing a
feast of this mammoth size, every bit
of which was as toothsome as the best
that mother makes" A considerable
quantity of food which was left over
was sold at auction for good prices.

ever witnessed in this city at the an
nual South Dakota intercollegiate
track and field meet in which State
college, the University of South Da-
kota, Yankton college, Huron college
and Northern Normal and Industrial
school will be represented. The State
university won the meet last year and
are expected to repeat the perform
ance again this year, but nevertheless
in the competition between such stars
as Cleworth of Yankton, Jacobson,
Dubel and Price Of the university, and
~Bloodgood of Huron in the sprints and
hurdles, a fast exhibition may be ey-
pected. And in the broad jump be-
tween Stout of State, Cleworth OF
Yankton, and Patrick Of the univer-
sity, more records will be broken. In
the pole vault Stout, Patrick and Nc
KennOn. will make the spectators hold
their breath. Last Friday at Nermil-
lion these three men tied for first
at II feet and expect to go much
higher here next Saturday. Yankton
has some fast men in the distance
events, who along with Shawhan Of
State, who will shatter the mile and
half mile records, and Beatty Of the
university, will make an exciting race.
State will depend largely on Captain
Stout and Jim Salisbury for points.
Motley, a freshman, is showing up
fairly we'll in the sprints. Mccain and
Welty are working or the hurdles.
Shawhan, Knutsen, Willadsen, John
ston, Sturgeon, Burkhardt, Englehorn,
Blocker and several others are work
ing on the distances. George Patter-
son, a husky freshman, Elger Thune
aid Page are all working on the
weights, but as yet have done nothing
to warrant optimism on the part Of
States fans as far as the meets this
year are concerned. However, they
all have it in them to be good per
formers, especially Patterson, and
Coach West looks for HIM to break
some records before he is through with
the track at State.
In the dual meet with the university
at Vermillion last Friday State lost by
a score Of SO to As. ShaWhan won the

the state. State won the meet with
a total of 70 points TO SO for Yankton.

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY This SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones or little ones-sOft
ones or nard ones-on any part of the
body, go quick by a simple method that
Just dissolves them. To do this get about
two ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads briskly
for a few seconds-and wash off You'll
wonder where the blackheads have gone.
The calonite powder and the hot water
have just dissolved them. Pinehing and
squeezing blackheads only open the pores
of the skin and leave them open and I'M
ssightly-and unless the blackheads are big
and soft rhey~will not come out, while the
simple application of calonite powder and
water dissolves them right out, leaving the
skin soft and the pores in their natural
condition. You can get calonite powder
at any drug store and If you are troubled
certainly try this simple method.-Adv.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS The KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts if Your
Back hurts or Bladder bothers
yOu-Drink more water.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells US that meat forms
uric acid which almost paratyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
oblging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body'S urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine. so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensivei cannot in
jure, and makes a. delightful effeFves-
cent Whitewater drink.-AdW

Charge of Proposed Plans.
Recall of Illinois Money VIII
Not Injure HOwat Cause.

Kansas labor unions are responding
to appeals for aid for the mine, union
members on strike in the Pittsburg
field, according TO announcement here
today by w. f. Freeman, president of
the state federation. Freeman as
serted that in his opinion every union
IL. the state would subscribe funds for
the strikers.
Offices of the state federation in
Topeka and in Pittsburg are receiving
remittances every day, Freeman de-
clared. He said it was impossible to
make an estimate of total subscrip-
tons to date in view of the fact that
two offices are being maintained. He
also stated that a number of the
unions had not held meetings since his
appeal was issued and that subscrip-
tions from these organizations prob
ably would be received later.
The Freeman. appeal to union labor
in Kansas was made last week. He
has pledged support of the state fed
Grafton to the mine strikers who are
threatened with loss of union privi-
leges and membership if they do not
return to work. He is now seeking to
create a fund to be used as a benefit
for the strikers.
