The war on film
One great object Is to fight the film
on teeth. You can feel it nova Wis
cous film. It clings to teeth, gets be-

the basis for dingy. dangerous coats.
Ordinary tooth pastes do not effec-
lively combat it So millions Of teeth
brushed daily still discolor and decay.

of every child that his attendance be
regular, for most failures are due to
irregular attendance.
There is to be no exhibit from Brook

the first time in many years that
~Brookings has not exhibited. and taken
a leading place. 1t was felt by the
County commissioners that this was
an expense that might be omitted for
Il year OIL SO. since the money Condi-
ton has been serious in the county.
Brookings County is. however, to be
represented in the spelling contest ut
Huron next week. Elmer Rasmussen
from Eureka District 81, and Susie
Stedman of the B%rookings city schools
were the two who won in the county
contest that was held June 30. Last
year We were fortunate in getting third
place in the written contest at Huron.
We hope this year to do as well or
ven better. Mrs. Trooien is to go 20

Wind Takes Plane
Above the Clouds

A thrilling story is told by Aviators
Lieb, of VOlga, and Billitier of Dell
Rapids, of their experience when
caught in the air by a sixty-mile gale,
which swept down upon their airplane
without warning. They were striv-
ing to make a landing at Dell Rapids
when the fierce gale struck them.
The airplane was about 1900 feet
above the city when the gale swept
down upon the air men and their
fragile craft.
The gale caught the ship in such a
way that in less than thirty seconds
It had pulled up from that altitude to
a height of over four thousand feet.
The ~airplane was taken through the
clouds and was out of sight of land.
Such a thrill | never before ex-
~perienced," said Aviator Lieb. 1T was
almost impossible to get down. We
turned the nose of the ship straight
down, and the engine was going full
speed but we did not move. Suddenly
the gale let up and we dashed toward
the earth at a speed Of over $50 miles
an hour.
Fortunately we were able to get
the ship Strengthened out and we
found that we were only 100 feet from
the ground, going at full speed, and
just clearing the tall trees and tele-
phone poles.
BY quick maneuvering we were
able to turn around and fly back, max
ing a perfect landing. If we would
not have been strapped in We would
have been thrown out.
Had the plane not been in perfect
condition, the wings would have
crumbled when we were swooped up
into the air by the gale. AS it was
most of the guy wires We're loose
md considerable time was taken up in
getting the ship back to normal"

at a cost of almost one hundred mil.
lion dollars and making it of suffi
cient size TO accommodate ships of
S00-foOt length, S0-foot beam and 81
foot draft.
The entire project when completed
would give all the Great Lakes ports
the advantage of shipping aud
ocean routes. 1t is generally agreed
that what could be sent from Du-
luth or Chicago to Liverpool by this
route at cnsiderably more than ten
cents a bushel cheaper than ny our
present system and thai this saving
would be directly reflected to the pro-
Queer. 1t would also make compete
ton on our lake shipping and incom-
ihg freights which would result in an
immense saving. The hydro-electric
power which would be developed
would according to the electrical en-
gineers' estimates, be easily trans
mltted on a radius Of three hundred
miles, thus serving all the New Eng
land manufacturing cities and releaS-
ing approximately thirty million tons
of coal annually, which would be
available for the Midwest and North
west states, and would have the ad-
vantage of the better lake ~transporta-
ton and competition in getting it to
its destination.
Since the engineers reports were
made, and since the St. Lawrence
trip was made, scientists have an
nounced the perfection of a new
mode Of transmitting electricity,
whereby a million volts car be sent
over a single wire, thus increasing
the economic radius of transmission
from three hundred miles to one
thousand miles which would mean a
broader market and better price for
the electricity than indicated by the
engineers reports.

lem of all nations since the dawn of
history. The ocean does not, as COM

Nearly All Rural
Schools Are Open

About ninety of the one hundred and
eleven rural schools began their years
work on Monday Of this week. And
all the town and city schools with the
exception OF Aurora also began their
school year. The reports so far show
that a verp large number Of boys and
girls are entering high school this year.
The fact hat the school district pays
the full tuition to any high school in
the state or adjoining state has made IL
possible TO send many children to high
school who might not have been able
to go had the parents had to pay it.
The amounts charged to each town
school depends upon the per capita
cost Of running the high school for the
previous year.
There are new text books in several
subjects in all the grades this year.
These books are furnished free to the
pupils Of the school, but are paid for
by the district board and o by the
county as some people think. There is
also to be a new curse Of study for
all the schools OF the state Whlcn VIII

ways. Community civics will be
taught in the eighth grade and also
Farm Accounting is to be taught one
day a week asa part of the work in
Arithmetic. Geography will be com
pleted in the eighth grade instead OF
the seventh as it has been in the past.
1t should not be necessary now to

Law. Every one is quite familiar
with it-every child must be in school

DAIRY FARMERS ORGANIZE

A meeting Of farmers interested in
club rooms Monday evening for the
purpose Of organizing a COW testing
association. Horace NJ. Jones, ex-
tension specialist of State college, ad-
dressed the meeting and assisted COun-
the association. The purpose OF the
organization is to test dairy COWS on
the farm with a view to eliminating
those who do no produce enough to
pay for their feed. In dairy states
like Wisconsin and Minnesota, practic-
ally every county has an association
of this kind and find them indispen-
sible.

Great Improvement
In Roads This Year

The White Leader summarizes the
road work which has been completed
this summer in the following article:
Those of our readers who are par
%ticularly enthusiastic about good
roads will be interested in the good
work that has been accomplished in
B~rookings County this year. The
propheSies of the past are actually be-
ing fulfilled and by the time the fall
season is here there will be many
miles graded and graveled roads in
this county. Tourists tell us they can
tell the minute they cross the Min
nesota line. We do not doubt their
statement in the least as Minnesota's
good roads have achieved national
fame. 1t won't be long, however, be-
fore this county will be taking a front
seat in the matter OF good roads. The
five mile stretch running east of
Brookings has been graded above the
high water level and will be gravel
surfaced soon. Five new concrete
bridges and culverts have been erect
GU III Jodu IuchCu L hIS Has
always been n of the worst stretch
es of main travelled road in the county.
All the culverts and bridges are strong
permanent ones. The Toronto road
running north and south through
White has been extensively improved.
When completed there will be a five
mile stretch Of gravel surface extend
ing south from a point two miles north
OF this city. In fact the entire road
running from the Deuel. county line
south to Bushnell has been repaired.
The long dry spell made it possible
for the various crews to do some very
necessary work in many of the low
places. In the vicinity of Elkton
there has been considerable grading.
From Sinai north connecting with the
black aand Yellow trail the road has
been graded. George Walradth and
his crew Of men have done some very
effective work in this vicinity. On
the Hendricks road many low places
from the valley into White have been
graded. At the present time they are
improving the swampy road west of
the German Lutheran church in Argo.
There has also been much good work
done in the vicinity of Bruce. The
Brookings-Volga state highway road
will be completed by fall with the
exception OF the %graveling. Three
bridges are under construction and
there are three more to be built. This
highway is considered one Of the larg
est projects in road construction in
the state this summer. Some idea OF
the magnitude of this undertaking car
be gained when we learn that one
single mile of this project calls for {
grade containing more than 20 1000 Gu
bic yards of dirt. The road running
south Of Brookings, known as the Red
White and Blue trail, has been put il
fine shape, although i, will not be
graveled this year. Ii has been grad
ed to the Moody county line. All in
all there has been a lot Of work done
on the roads in this county this sum
mer. Much work is yet to be done
but in the meantime let us place the
credit where it is due. The progress
that has been made in Brookings coun

Woman
Has War Relics
Original Copy of Song Mary
land Contained in Letter
Written by Mrs. Wulf's
Father.

Mrs. May Wulf has in her possession
great historic value and interest which
she obtained recently OF a visit to her
fathers home in the east. Her father,
4. II. Malcolm, was a member of Co. A,
18th Pennsylvania cavalry and it
was through his fortunate associations
that SO many of these interesting pap
ers were obtained and preserved. One
of the most interesting is a manuscript
of the song Maryland, My Maryland"
copied by Mr.. Malcolm from the poets
original manuscript long before it was
published and became popular. In
the collection is a diary of a coast
naval battle of the civil var between
the armored ships, the Monitor and the
Merrimac. A copy of the Nicksburg
newspaper printed on wall paper dur
relic.
Mrs. Wulf has kindly furnished the
Register with a copy of some Of these
manuscripts, which will be published
in three instalIments. The manu-
script Of "M%aryland," was contained in
a letter written by MI Malcolm while
he was at the front, dated April IL,
1862. The purpose of the poem was
to induce Maryland to espouse the
Union cause, for as everyone remem-
bers, Maryland was on the fence dur
ing the early years of the war, divided
between C%onfederacy and the Union.
She did not secede nor did she come
out squarely for the Union.
The letter follows:
On the Potomac
Dearest Mollie:
Am writing sitting in my
siege tent which is just a strip Of
muslin six feet square on each side.
and by the light of a tallow dip that
keeps Pickering in the wind. Not
much doing in camp now, but the
whole country is "secesh" and very
bitter. Maryland won't join in either
side but | guess they'll have to soon.
We have in our mess a man who
mrites verses. Shouldn't wonder if
you were to see them in print some
day. They are real clever. He wrote a
long one about Maryland. ! wrote it
down and will send it to you.
