Word has been received in Brook
ings this week that Richard Vinegar
died October 81, in Germany, where
he was on duty with the U. S. navy.
Details are lacking Of the sad event.
1t is expected that the body will be
returned to Brookings for burial. SYM
pathy is extended to the relatives.
The leading event downtown after
the football game was the big banquet
of corr which "Jim,' the starved
rooster in the Boot Shop window, en-
joyed to the limit of his capacity in
the space of one-half hour. Hundreds
of people had registered guesses AS
to how many kernels of corn jim could
eat in one-half hour after starving for
a day, the guesses ranged from less
than one hundred to one thousand. A
fine pair of shoes we're offered to the
person making the nearest guess and
Miss Maude Olmstead of this city won
the shoes with her guess of 609 ker-
nels of corn. A big crowd was jammed
around the window watching Jim get
away with that record breaking feast
of corn and trying to count the ker-
nels as he ate them. The stunt at.
tracted wide interest and other con
tests were arranged on the outside.
Henry Arneson won the prize which
the postoffice Office employees put up
among themselves for the best guess.
Perhaps you didn't know that it was
possible to sit in your own home IN
Brookings and listen to a musical con-
cert being given in Denver, $50 miles
away, but hat is what George Hey
wood, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Hey
wood, did last Sunday evening. Be-
fore going to bed Sunday evening
about 9:15, George picked up the re-
ceiver of his wireless telephone out
fit to listen for something that might
be of interest and he was surprised
to heal a voice announce that q
musical program was about to be sent
through the air from Denver. The
voice announced then the names of
the artists who were about to sing.
The program commenced and every
thing could be heard as plainly al if
one were sitting in the concert hall in
Denver where the concert was IN
progress. The vocal and instrumental
numbers could be heard with equal
clarity. 1t is unusual for a small APP
paratus such as George has to be able
to receive wireless telephone waves
from such a great distance but the
air conditions that evening were very
favorable. Next Sunday he hopes to
listen to the big new organ in st.
Paul. He is going to erect a new
areial at a greater height to catch
the long distance waves more clearly.
The possibilities of the wireless tele-
phone are endless and great progress
