Pick out grade up which your
-Four" labors, vibrates and begs for
mercy. The Jewett makes play of the
climb and keeps steadily gathering
speed all the way up.
Seek the thick traffic and see how,
when an opening offers, your Jewett
fairly leaps past the stolid vehicles that
would hold back a less spirited car.
Now for the open road, and let the
Jewett have its own way with it. In
stinctively you begin searching for the
vibration point which long experience
has taught you marks the limit of
"Four's" comfortable speed.
You will seek this point in vain.
From clear to 90 miles an hour, the
fifty horse power Jewett will do its
work not merely without protest but
with real joy and zest.
And there, in the last analysis is the
charm of this superb Light Six"
A car that never seems to toll A car,
therefore, that imposes neither labor
nor WEAKNESS on its driver
By all means see to it that your next
car is Six" Once that decision is
reached, your path to the Jewett is

Legion Musical Comedy WIN Be
Given With Elaborate Sets;
Funny Situations.

Next Wednesday and Thursday
evenings in the Illinois theatre
Rock Islanders are going to have
a real treat in a unique musical
comedy. The show by the tri-city
post, American Legion, will be
beautifully staged and eostumed
for the John B. Rogers Producing
company spares no expense when
it comes to scenery and costumes,
az well as clever manuscripts.
The action of "All Aboard" takes
place on board the steamship, Flor
ida, and the cleverly written libret-
to has to do with two college boys
who are in love with the same
girl. One of them has the misfor-
tune of losing four of his teeth in
a football game, and the lost teeth
have great deal to do with the
play and the comedy situations of
which there are plenty.
Roles which bring favorable COM
ment from every one are Hans

ISAAC

Isaac Malmquist, a pioneer of
Brookings county in the early sew
entities who passed away last week at
the age of ninety years, was buried
Friday afternoon from the Lutheran
church, Rev. B. A. Benson officiating
at the funeral services. Interment
was made in the Lutheran cemetery.
Isaac MalmQuist was born in Stock
holm, Sweden, on December 23, 1892.
When a young man he came to the
United States and came west to Min
nesota. Here he met and married
Maren Akerberg, to which happy
union there were born four sons and
two daughters, Martin, Peter, John
and Anton Isaacson and Mrs. Z. A.
Cook of Bruce, and Mrs. Louden of
Alamakee county, Iowa. Shortly af-
ter their marriage, they came to
B~rookings county and settled on a
farm west of Brookings in September
1871. They endured the hardships
and trials of the early pioneer days
and at length his wife succumbed
and was laid to rest. Later, in 1893
he was united in marriage to Miss
Peterson who survives him. This
union was blessed with two daughters
Mrs. Amelia Santema, and Miss Agnes
Malmquist.
Mr.. Malmquist had been in poor
health and was quite sick for the
last few months with a cancerous
trouble which caused his death. He
was a man of strong physique and
sturdy character, always ready to
Gerry his share Of any burden. No
task was too great for him and his
broad shoulders were always heavily
laden. His passing is mourned by
the community and sympathy is ex-
tended to the bereaved family.

also survived by eighteen g%randchil-

years later the family moved to Mimi
esota and then came to this county
and took up a homestead. Very few
of the people living here at that time
are alive today. Luverne was the near

country has undergone a great trans

Several cities in South Dakota have
discovered that municipalities are not
assessed federal taxes on freight
shipments under the law and have re-
ceived a rebate on all war taxes which
they have paid. Highmore recently
received a check for 800 in war taxes
which they unknowingly paid to the
railroad company. In a city of the
size of Brookings where the annual
freight bill is very large, the saving
of the freight tax would amount to d
considerable sum.
South Dakota has passed through
the first month under gasoline tax
law, and after the collection of the
one cent a gallon tax had been made,
the state found itself richer by
$4,000. At this rate the tax will yield
considerably over $500, 900 for the
whole year with which to build good
roads. A half million dollars a year
for good roads will do a lot Of good
and the tax is not oppressive upon
any one person. The more one drives
on the roads the more gasoline tax
one must pay, which is perfectly fair.
The only serious objection offered so
far against the tax is by the oil com
panies and distributors who are OBJ
liged to go to all the bother of col
lecting the tax from the consumers.
