Aim to Satisfy Everybody;
Money Making no OBJ

Free to Public.

Tomorrow the American Legion X
poets to give Bookings the greatest
celebration it has ever enjoyed. 1t hopes
to send everyone home satisfied and
enthusiastic over the entertainment
and with a kindly feeling toward
Brookings. The boys have laid aside
thoughts of making money and are de-
voting all of their efforts and resourc
es toward pleasing the large crowd
they expect to entertain.
The attractions of the day are large
ly free to the public. In the morning
there will be a free ball game between
two teams of business men, members
of the Kiwanis club. The exhibits of
the boys and girls clubs of Brook
ings county will open at the fair
grounds in the morning. Prizes Of SITS
will be awarded to the winners in the
various classes Of hogs, sheep and
corn. The animals to be exhibited
are all in the state fair class and the
most of them will be exhibited at
Huron, next week. The prizes awarded
will enable many Of these young boys
and girls to ship their pigs to the state
fair. A per centage of the profits of
the ball game in the afternoon will
also go to the pig clubs to help defray
the expenses of shipping their exhibits
to the state fair.
The headliner Of the sports pro-
gram is a game Of ball between Pipe
stone, Mimi, and Carthage. These
two teams represent the best in Mime
sofa and South Dakota. Both teams
have made wonderful records during
the past season and this is the first
time they have met. Baseball fans
from Minnesota and South Dakota will
travel long distances to see this bat
tie.
Automobile races, bicycle races and
a hitching contest are also on the bills
for the afternoon. In the evening a
free pavement dance will be given on
Main street. The Legion has also leas-
ed the State theatre and will exhibit
Cardigan, an American Legion pic
ture released only through national
headquarters and shown only by
Legion posts. A free radio concert
Will be given on Main street through
the courtesy of the Haywood Hard

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 it
possible to send many children to high
school who might not have been able

These books are furnished free to the
pupils of the school, but are paid for
by the district board and not by the
county as some people think. There is
also to be a new course Of study for
all the schools or the state which VIII

ed the sixth grade. 1t is to the interest
of every child that his attendance be
regular, for most failures are due to
irregular attendance.
There is to be no exhibit from Brook
ings at the State Fair this year. 1t Is
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
a year or 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 text week. Elmer Rasmussen
from Eureka District 81, and Susie
Stedman of the Brookings 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
even better. Mrs. Trooien is to go 20

The first two-room school in Brock

There are two teachers, Miss Winni-
fred Huska having the lower grades,
and Miss Jessie Wilson the upper
grades, with one rear Of high school.
The pupils who take their work in this
school will receive full credit for their
work, since Miss Wilson is qualified to

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 1,500 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
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. ut 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

DAIRY FARMERS ORGANIZE

A meeting Of farmers interested in
dairying was held at the Commercial
club rooms Monday evening for the
purpose Of organizing a Gov testing
association. Horace NJ. Jones, ex-
tension specialist Of State college, adj
dressed the meeting and assisted Coun-
ty Agent Ray Barnett in organizing
the association. The purpose of the
organization is to test dairy cows on
the farm with a view to eliminating
those who do not produce enough to

like Wisconsin and Minnesota, practic-
ally every county has IN association
of this kind and find them indispen-

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 hat has been accomplished in
Brookings 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 inc JOdu Wlutueu. his Has
always been one of the worst stretch
es of main travelled road in the county.
All the culverts and bridges are strong
permanent ones. The Toronto road
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 g~raveling. Three
bridges are under construction and
there are three moro to be built. This
highway is considered one of the larg
est projects in road construction il
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, 900 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 il will not bt
graveled this year. It has been grad
ed to the Moody county line. All il
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
a number of papers and documents of
great historic value and interest which
she obtained recently on a visit to her
fathers home in the east. Her father,
A. 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 we're 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 vas
published and became popular. In
the collection is a diary Of a coast
guard written during the most famous
naval battle of the civil war between
the armored ships, the Monitor and the
Merrimac. A copy of the Vicksburg
newspaper printed on wall paper dur
ing the siege is another interesting
relic.
Register with a copy of some of these
manuscripts. which will be published
in three installments. The manu-
script of "Maryland," was contained in
a letter written by Mr. 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 Confederacy and the Union.
She did not secede o 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
