There has been good hunting this
week and BrOokings spOrtSmen have
been taking advantage of it in spite
of the atrocious condition of the roads.
The skies have been filed with big
mallards and the corn fields have been
popular feeding grounds for them. a
number of duck feeds are on the pro
gram this week and next,
Sunday brought the first heavy now
fall. A wet sticky snow fell that was
put in the ground by recent rains. This
has put the ground in a favorable con
dition for the 1923 crop, removing the
doubtful prospects caused by the eX-
tremely dry summer and fall which
had removed practically all of the re
serve moisture from the soil.
Lovers Of vocal music are interested
in the appearance Of POVl BjOrnSkjold,
the great dramatic tenor, who will ap-
pear in concert in Bookings tomorrow
evening at the college. He was a
member of the Royal Opera Of Copen-
hagen before coming to America in
1917. 1t is only through the influence
of the music department at State col

Brookings.
The Brookings Rotary Club was hon
ored this week by a visit from the dis

low and the Register wishes it were
able TO reproduce the fine talk he
gave to the members of the Rotary
Club. He is a lightweight physically
but when it comes to Rotary, Paul can
talk by the books.
