the Methodist church. This combina
ton was organized some years ago by
Gov. J. Frank Hanly for reform work,
and is now conducting a nation wide
campaign for the purpose Of creating
sentiment in favor Of law enforcement
and civic righteousness.
In support Of this program the Fly.
ing Squadron foundation is sending to
this community, without expense to
the local committee some Of the lead,
ing speakers OF the country.
The wet interests have announced
their intention t break down the en-
forcement Of The law and TO bring back
beer and wine by modification or
amendment Of the Volstead Act. The
indifference of the drys on the sub
ject is alarming and the Flying Squad
ron has taken the field to meet this
situation.
Meetings will be held at 1880 and
2:30 each day with two speakers at
each meeting.

THE ROMANCE OF AGRICULTURE

Eugene Grace, president of the Beth
lehem Steel corporation, ore of the
later ~millionaires created by Schwab
just as Carnegie put Schwah into the
millionaire class, reports that the
steel industry is sound, with business
improving and with indications ooint-
ing to a steady growth. What q change
in a decade. Before the vision of the
elder Morgan nodded for the business
world the picture of a co-ordinated
trade, the three or four hundred steel
plants were in a chaotic state. The
bold stroke Of the iron hand of finance
started the industry along the lane
OF amazing accomplishment. The peo-
ple were staggered at the results. They
had not even thought Of industry in

that behind the great issue of common

A PARK FOR BROOkINGS

Brookings has a reputation for be
ing a beautiful city, with long shady
streets, fine homes, artistic public
edifices and churches, everything in
fact to make il a most desirable place
to live except that it lacks that vital
thing which is reckoned first in con-
sidering the civic beauty of any city,
a park. Large cities are always more
proud OF their parks than they are Of
their skyscrapers. Large areas of the
most valuable land in New York, Lon
don and Chicago are devoted to public
parks. The need OF a park in any
city, no matter how small, needs no
argument. 1t is as much Of Importance
as the post office.
An opportunity has at last come for
Bookings to have a park. 1t is up to
the citizens at the municipal election
next Tuesday to express their wishes
in the matter. Unless the civic con-
science Of our population has under
gone a serious retrogression, the re-
suits of that election will show an
overwhelming sentiment for the pur-
chase OF the fair grounds from the
county fair association for the purpose
. OF making a public park. The land is
the best suited for a public park of
any available. It's special superior
ties may be outlined as follows: 1t is
only three blocks from Main street;
it is situated where city water, sewer
and electric light facilities are readily
available; it is at the west entrance
of the city on the Black and Yellow
trail; the only approach to the city
which is unsightly at the present time,
which Of certainty needs identifying
to make a good an advertisement OF
the city as the approaches from the
north, east and south. There is no
plot OF land in or near the city which
can compete in desirabiliy for park
purposes. The city will bake no mis-
take in purchasing the fair grounds
for park purposes at such a low figure
as has been offered.
Bookings must have a park. Vote
for it at the election next Tuesday.

MUSTN'T GET TOO FAT

That the breeding flock requires a
ration which will furnish a full supply
OF reproducing materials but which
will not force production or lay on an
excess Of fat, is a suggestion offered
TO poultry raisers by Or. l.. Stevenson,
professor of poultry husbandry at
State college.
Unless the litter is deep and exer-
else stimulated, whole corn should
not be fed too freely" he said.
Cracked corn makes the hens worn
more and wheat and barley are less
~fattening in their nature. When hens
take on excess fat it is manifest in
the hard mass which may be felt In
the abdominal region. Breeders re-
quire green feed for best results.
When shut off from the range they
should have grass and clover sub.
stitutes such as sprouted oats, cab
page leaves, roots, soaked alfalfa
chaff, etc.
In cold weather water should be
and if the birds appear to be
constipated EPSON salts may be added

would be to dissolve the salts
in warm water and mix UP a mash
with 1t. 1t is always advisable to sup
ply gravel or grit of some sort for
grinding material, as well as oyster
shell and charcoal. These may be
mixed together and fed in a hopper or
in an open box"

Next Tuesday, April IS, is the city
election. II. b. Mathews, who is a
candidate for reelection as one Of the
city commissioners, barring any per-
sonal prejudice, should be and is en-
titled TO a second term. Mr.. Mathews
has made a good commissioner, IN the
opinion of the Register, as good as
could be selected. From long years
Of association with Mr.. Mathews, we
know he is a man among men, a man
OF good judgment, well versed in city
affairs and a man who does things.
Whenever there is anything to be at
tended to he is Johnnie on tne spot"
giving the best there is in him to bear
upon that particular duty. His asso-
ciates on the board have come to rec
ognize his wisdom, good judgment and
hearty cooperation in everything per-
tanning to city affairs. He is popular
with the people and his long service
at State college vouehes for his ability
and efficiency. There should be no
question about his return to the board.
We trust that an overwhelming vote
OF confidence will be given him at
Tuesdays election.

Hook and Eye Becomes Popular.

In the Sixteenth century the manu-
facture of silk, which had formerly
been imported from the East, was
taken up In Italy, and the vogue Of
this lighter material created a de-
mand for smaller and lighter dress
fasteners. The hook and eye became
more popular. Their manufacture
was also made easier now by the ap-
plication of water power to wire
drawing, and from that time until the
present day they have been continu-
ally In use.
The first modern Improvement on
all these fasteners of old were the
attempts at spring fasteners made for
the close-fittlng gloves when they sue
ceeded the gauntlet. About 1890 q
sewed-on fastener with a spring was
successfully tried out on all sorts of
clothes. and the making Of these little
snaps has now become a world In
dustry.
They have their place In the mu-
scum at Prague, but what a long road
leads back through time from the
snap fastener to the bone pin of the

his personality forced its passage as

Less than a year after Martins
death at Boulogne, France. In 1884,

Two years after the passage Of the
