=. j. Briggs received word the first
part Of the week, of the death of Ell
mer Anderson at Nampa, Idaho, where
the family moved a few years ago.
His death occurred on February LIST,
after an illness of about a year. The
AndorS0ns were among the early set
tiers Of Brookings and Mr.. Anderson's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Anderson,
had both passed to the great beyond
some years before the Elmer Anderson
family moved 10 Idaho.
one hundred, two hundred or three
hundred years ago this story might not
seem so strange. But the marvel is
that today here in BroOkings is a Wo-
man who shears the wool from the
sheep, washes and cards the wool by
hand, then spins it in the good old
fashioned way into yarn and finally
knitS the yarn into stockings, gloves,
sweaters and other garments. Every
step in the whole process is done by
her W hands. The woman we speak
of is Mrs. Carl Bernt, 226 Seventh
street. We have seen some of the
finished products Of Mrs, Bernt's skill
and we are Of the opinion that no
modern factory has put out anything
superior to her h~andiWork.
The radio bug has taken a firm
grasp Of Brookings. According to the
best estimates made by local dealers
in radio supplies there are upwards Of
one hundred receiving sets in this city
and new ones being installed at the
rate of about one a day. The enter.
tainment possibilities of radio outfits
have increased enormously during the
last year or six months 50 that the ali
every evening is literally full Of pro.
grams Of every description from every
part Of the continent. Practically ey
cry city Of ordinary size has its broad
casting station and they are in opera
ton every night. What was marvel
lous and out Of the range of the aver
age persons experience a year ago, is
now commonplace and an accepted nat
ural form Of amusement.
