WARM WEATHER BOOKS

AS the heat increases our energy
decreases, both bodily and mentally.
The heavier books, the biographies,
the sociologies, the problem novels
which interested us in the cooler
months are losing their attraction now.
Our moods demand a book whose in.
terest Is on the surface and does not
have to be hunted for; a book which
will help us forget the heat and all
our other troubles. The public library
has prepared lists Of such books. and
has purchased many new ones of ali
kinds. Ask for our lists of mystery
stories, Of western and adventure
stories. There may be some of the
old books which you have not vet
discovered, and there surely are
some new ones which you have not
a This months book order will
consist mostly of books for the chill
dren, to make sure that they will not
be neglected during the summer
Though children naturally read much
less now, and that is quite as it should
be, there should be some ge.
ment of reading from the parents so
that all desire for books will not be
lost. The librarian is ready and anx-
ious to recommend good books to any
child who will permit it.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER BETTY

One Of the most popular home pro.
Jects among the women of South Da-
kota at the present time is the max.
ing of the Betty or dress form
Dress form demonstrations and
schools are being held in practically
all parts of the state, under the d.
rection of Selma Rongstad, state home
demonstration leader of the State col.
lege extension division. The attend.
ance at these schools and demonstra.
tons indicates the enthusiasm of the
women with regard to this particular
project which is intended to make
their sewing much less arduous.
Demonstrations held recently at
Murdo, Okaton. Draper. Louden com.
munity and Cappa, brought out a total
OF LAT women of Jones county. About
300 Butte county women attended
demonstrations at Belle Fourche, Ro-
man township, Horse Creek, Vale and
Arpan. One hundred women of
Hughes county attended demonstra.
tons held at Pierre and in three rural
communities.
Many of the women who attend
Miss Rongstad's dress form schools
return to their communities and them.
selves demonstrate this project to
their neighbours and friends.
Five demonstrations with the "Bet.
ty' were recently held In Flandreau
and near vicinity. Here the high
school girls became interested in the
project and many of them who are
going of 10 college next fall are now
planning to leave their BEETLES" at
home so that the home dressmaker
will be able to make garments for
them as they are needed.

ASK FOR BETTER SERVICE

The managers and presidents Of the
Livestock Shipping associations OF
Brookings, Elkton, White, Bruce and
Como met in Brookings May 28th
From their experience in shipping live
stock to the central markets, the fol
lowing resolutions were passed:
A 36-hour shipping schedule should
again be established by the railroads
between Brookings county and Chicago
for at least three important reason
There is 90 much time lost in ship
ment on the present schedule, and the
market has too much chance to change
from the time stock leaves Bookings
county until it reaches Chicago. The
feeding enroute costs from $500 to
$500 per car, and does not materially
help the stock. The stock unloaded for
feed at Mason City gets little attention,
unless accompanied by the owners.
The average shrinkage on a carload of
hogs is 500 pounds, and cattle 1900
pounds. And this could be reduced
one-half with a 36-hour run. Ed.
Shank reported that he accompanied
two carlods of stock to Chicago on
March 18th, when the actual running
time was 80 hours.
Freight rates are e%xorbitant and
must be greatly reduced to make sat.
isfactory markets. Chicago is the big
livestock market of the country, and
western markets are controlled by
the difference in freight rates from
Chicago to these other markets. More
feeder cattle and feed will be shipped
this fall ii rates are reduced.
The minimum weight of a go foot
car Of hogs should be reduced from
1900 pounds to $4,000 pounds, as il
is almost impossible to get the weight
in a 80 foot car. The minimum weight
on a car of sheep should be reduced
from 10000 pounds to 10000 pounds,
as it is very seldom that the weight
can be secured.
The livestock committee of fifteen
appointed by the American Farm BI.
e should study the market with
the end in view of stabilizing the
prices.
ire local associations reported
that they shipped the large majority
of stock marketed in their community
The larger the volume of business
handled by the association, the more
nearly n grade Of stock can be
shipped to market, and thus increase
the returns to the Copies OF
these resolutions are to be sent tc
the railroads hauling stock from
Brookings county, the state Farm Blu
reau, the American Farm Bureau. the
committee Of fifteen, and the loca
papers.

VACATION DAYS AT HAND

With the opening of the summer
vacation camps Of the Young Women s
Christian Association this month thou
sands Of girls will exchange the click
of typewriter keys for the songs of
birds and the splash of mountain
streams. Girls, nervous, tired, or over
worked, grow strong and well under
the wholesome programs. The one
hundred and ninety-six Y. M. c. A.
camps, many for self-supporting girls
are located in all parts of the country.
Board ranges from FIVE to ten dollars
weekly.
%Brookings county girls are to have
their full share of opportunity for
these camps. The first one to be held
is for the delegates from high school
clubs at the newly established north
central field camp at Lake Okoboji
June 20-29. The four delegates from
this county, Myrtle Grape and Fannie
Mcmahon from Bruce and Grace Jerde
and Irene Allison from Brookings,
left Monday morning from Bushnell
accompanied by the Beadle county
delegation who arrived Sunday night.
Business girls are interested in the
vacation camp which will be held at
the same place August Sis. This is
purely a vacation camp for each girl
will be allowed to do just as she
pleases, although arrangements are
made for a daily Bible class, swimming
and athletics. Participation in them
is optional.
Both business girls and general
members of the Y. w. c. A. are wei.
come at the town and country confer.
ence at Lake Geneva, Wis, August 2
II. 1t is here that inspiration and
help for the club and committee work
for the year is to be obtained. The
very best possible of leaders and
speakers are secured for this confer
ence. The natural beauty of the lake
and the spirit of the place go with
one through the whole year. There
will be several delegates going from
Brookings county.
The local county camp for younger
girls, however, appeals to the greatest
number. This is the third year that
it has been held. Last year about
forty-fve girls from four parts of the
county attended and the attendance
this year will probably be greater.
The dates are July 1926, the first
week being for high school girls and
the second for grade school girls. The
camp will be conducted in the same
way it vas last year, the girls taking
turns in doing the various camp
duties. Each girl will furnish her own
bedding and dishes. Living expenses
will be about five dollars. There will
be an older adviser for each eight
girls. A well planned program of wor
ship. nature study, swimming, athlet
les, and camp fire songs will be pro
vided. Every %precaution will be taken
for Safety First" An effort will be
made to accommodate every girl in
the county who wishes to go but those
who apply first will be given first
chance.
Any inquiries in regard to any of the
camps should be sent to Laura Keith
county secretary Of the Y. w. C. A.
Brookings.
