A HEALTHY PRISON
It Is rather strange that both st.
Helena and MADEIRA should be well
known for their health-giving elm
ates. Both have been long regarded
as excellent places for tuberculosis
patients because of the dry. baimy
air. never very hot nor very cold.
Madeira. especially. has attracted q
good many invalids. though now 1t
enjoys widespread popularity with
healthy people who are sufficiently at
fluent to go in search Of a c~ongenial
climate In midwinter.
There Is an interesting story OF a
proposed sa~natorium for Madeira.
Nearly twenty years ago officials Of a
German syndicate appeared on the
inland and set forth a plan to build
a sanatorium with a number Of free
beds set aside for poor consumptives
Of Madeira. Portugal agreed and the
building was erected. Arrangements
were made to bring in large quanti-
ties of furniture duty free because
of the ph~ilanthropic character OF the
project.
But after the furniture was landed
and the building was nearly ready
for business, the sanatorium in some
way became a hotel with an n to
be used as a sanitorium. The project
took ON a distinctly commercial as
pect. An investigation was ordered
and the building was found to have
gun emplacements concealed in the
walls. 1t was further revealed that
nearly a mile Of land along the sea
front had been bought by the syndi-
cate. ~
The promoters who had been so
popular until then In Funchal were
sent way at once. And the sanator-
ium-hotel-fort lay vacant. 1t has
been said that a part of this building
may be used by e~x-Emperor Charles
as his permanent residence.
Wherever he lives In Madeira,
Charles will be surrounded with flow
ers. The luxuriant foliage and gorg-
eous blooms Of the island are famous
Red poinsettias that we have as hot
house plants at Christmas are pro-
fuse in Madeira. Purple wistaria. Ill
les, camellias, and violets are only a
few of the scent-laden flowers which
make great masses of color on the is
land landscape
Pine woods add to the charms of
Madeira, and there are fruits In
abundance-the custard apple, pine
apple. oranges, figs. not to mention
the grapes for which Madeira is most
famous.
Altogether, considering his pros
poets and surroundings. many people
would say that Charles is a fallen
monarch to be envied rather than
pitied.

Word has been received in the city
that Mrs. S. H. McCarl Of Brookings.
was quite severely injured in an auto
accident near Dell Rapids last week,

HOGS r SCARCE

Never since the hog raising business
became n of the industries Of the
state have porkers been as scarce as
they are now. A. L. Haynes, secretary
of the South Dakota Duroc association,
has just received a request from Hi
nois for several carloads of Duroc sows
for August and September narrowing.
In spite of his efforts to fill the order
he has been able to collect for ship,
ment just one carload. Significance is
attached to the order because of the
fact that Illinois is the home of the
Duroc Record association.
Although there are about thirty
more county Duroc associations in the
state than there were a year ago. Du.
o pig production has decreased abou,
35 per cent. according to Haynes
Money conditions are directly respon.
sible for this shortage because many
breeders were forced to cut down their
herds last spring and fall to meet their
financial obligations, and they have
not yet been able to make good this
loss.

BONUS WORK NEARLY COMPLETE

Things are quiet at the bonus Office
of Brookings county which is located
in the court house under the supervi
sion of J. r. Fridley and it is thought
that the most of the eX-soldiers in
Brookings county who desire the bonus
have filed their applications. Those
who have neglected to do so will no
doubt appear during the next week be-
fore the office is closed.
Mr.. Fridley and DR.. o. H. Lawrence,
post commander of the American
Legion, will attend a meeting of the
state bonus board at Rapid City next
Monday, the day previous to the open
ing of the state convention, where
many matters of importance in regard
to the bonus will be taken up. News
reports state that nearly 10000 appli
cations have been received at Pierre
to date, and that the bonds will soon
be offered for sale. Money conditions
have improved so much recently that
it is expected that very little difficulty
will be experienced in finding a good
market for them.
Eleven delegates from the local post
will attend the state convention of the
American Legion at Rapid City next
week. Several are making the trir
by auto and the remainder will travel
in the special Pullman car which will
carry the men from ~Codington, Ham.
lin, and Brookings counties. Those
from Bookings who will attend are
DR.. B. T. Green, DR.. e. H. Whitehead,
Chaplain G. P. Squires, DR.. o. H. Law,

Addresses by Rev. J. J. Hull, Field
Secretary, Were Inspiring
and Encouraging.

The seventeenth annual convention
of the Bookings County Sunday School
association which was in session from
Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening
in this city, was deemed the most
profitable meeting in the history OF
the county organization. The large at
tendance and the interest displayed by
the delegates was a chief factor in

the state and county work, the offering
amounting to nearly three hundred
dollars. An advance step in the organ.
ization of districts in the county and
holding conventions in each, with an
annual convention in B~rookinsS, was
voted by the association.
The addresses by Rev. Hull we're OF
unusual force and full of thought, sug
costing material leaving his hearers
encouraged and inspired. Mr.. Hull has
a most interesting personality and has
had a remarkable career. Although
quite aged he still retains the vigor
SO necessary for the position of field
secretary which he now holds. The il.
Illustrated lecture by Prof. w. f. Kun.
lien on the work of the agricultural
missionaries in India gave a clear idea
of the task and the Importance Of this
work. Mr.. Kumlien drew upon his own
experience in agricultural mission work
in India.

BRookiNGs GIRL is PROMINENT

According to a publication from Col
orado State Teachers college, Miss
Ruth Hutchendorf Of this city, is
prominent among the activities of the
school.
Ruth Hutchendorf of Brookings,
one of South Dakota's energetic school
teachers, is taking an important part
in the activities on the campus at Col
orado State Teachers college, at
Greeley, Col, where as a student in
the summer school she is spending
her vacation days acquiring more edu.
cation in order that the boys and
girls in her school may have better
advantages.
Miss H~utchendorf is one of three
teachers enrolled from the state Of
South Dakota, representing three diff
ferent cities. She Is also a member
of an army of public school teachers,
principals, superintendent and edu-
Gators in general gathered from thirty
two states. The influence which con.
tact with such an array Of educators
brings is also giving Miss Hutchen-
dorf a broadness that will be of ad.
vantage to the pupils in her class
rooms.
Despite the great number Of the
strangers about her, Miss Hutchen-
dorf says she is too busy to get lone
some. Her time is taken up attend
ing the many classes, which are pre-
sided over by presidents and depart
ment heads from leading universities
and colleges in all parts Of the coun-
try, a staff additional to the regular
faculty"

DARING TRIP TO SAVE LIFE

A former resident of Brookings coun-
ty, DR.. w. V. Goodfellow, now Of Los
Angeles, recently took a perilous night
airplane trip to a v a life and the
incident received the following men
ton in a Los Angeles newspaper:
Putting aside air thoughts of per
sonal danger, DR.. w. v. Goodfellow
Los Angeles specialist, last night made
a sensational airplane flight. from Big
Bear lake to save the life Of a patient
at the Hillside hospital.
Doctor Goodfellow was spending his
vacation fishing. At 700 o'clock last
night he received a hurry call to aid
Ray Shoemaker, mastoid patient, who
had suffered a serious relapse and was
unconscious. Frank Hawkes., who OPP
crates an airline from the resort to Los
Angeles, agreed to brave the dangers
of a swift night flight.
stepping in Hawkes. machine, they
scared in the darkness to an elevation
of 5000 feet and whizzed towards
Rogers Airport at 100 miles an hour.
The trip was made in one hour and
Is minutes. Hawkes., who formerly
worked at the field, made the descent
by taking bearings from the sign
boards, as no flares had been posted.
"Dr. J. M. Watson, in an automobile,
picked up Doctor Goodfellow at the
flying field. In approximately an hour
and a half from the time Doctor Good,
fellow received the emergency mes
sage, he was at the bedside of Sho.
maker in the Hillside hospital. The
trip would have taken FIVE times that
long by train or automobile"
DR.. Walter Goodfellow was raised in

SHOW PICTURES OF HAWAII

A feature of the Press association
meeting worthy of special mention was
views and motion pictures of the
Hawaiian islands and the volcano XII
lauea which were secured by r. Z.
Dowdell of Artesian, and shown at
the Fad theater last Friday afternoon
to the editors through the courtesy of
p. G.. Estee. Mr.. DOwdell, who with
his family spent last winter in HAWAII,
is very enthusiastic over the beauty
and the f~acinating interest of the
islands. While the pictures were be.
ing thrown on the screen he added
explanations and personal touches that
aided the audience to gain a better
idea Of the wonders of the islands.
Most remarkable were the motion pic
lures which Mr.. Dowdell secured OF
the volcano in eruption. These pic.
lures have been conceded to be the
best that have ever been obtained of
a volcano in eruption. Close views
Of the churning, boiling, red hot lava
seemed almost supernatural. The ter.
rife heat OF this lake Of molten rock
was shown by motion pictures taken
at night where the lava appears as
liquid fire boiling out of the black
earth, the light generated by the
molten lava being SUFFICIENT to register
clearly on the rapidly moving motion
picture film. II
