fered 100000 to the graduate or silt

1t costs a lot of money to buy five
cents worth of postage stamps in
Russia. A resident of Fairfax, recent
ly received a letter from a friend in
Russia bearing five 1,000-rouble
stamps, equal in value at the present
time to five cents in American money.
At pre-war rates Of exchange 5000
roubles would be worth $4,000. Can
you imagine going down to the post
office and paying $1,000 for a postage
stamp; but such are the results of
bolshevism.
Hon. G. A. Mathews, in renting to
the Register, among other things says
that The South Dakota annual picnic
last Saturday was attended by many of
the old residents of Bookings and quite
a number of those who still call that
town home. Four or five thousand
people were there to shake the hands
of former friends and a~cquaintences.
They all had a good word for South
Dakota but none wanted to winter
there if they could help it. There is
often much said by tho eastern p-csa
about California living on the tourists
and am enclosing for your perusal
a statement of the receipts for crops
of this state for the years 1921 and
1921. Fo" 1921 they wera approx.
mately 1868, 600, 900. think this will
convince some people that California
has other besides suckers.
Add to this over $50, 0O0, 900 for gold
and $500, 900, 900 for oil and you may
see why this section Is the brightest
spot on the business map Of the U. S.
A."
