The program of Memorial Day as pre-
pared above was somewhat interferad
with on account of rain. While during
the day no rain fell, yet rains of the pre-
vious day has left the roads too muddy
to march to the cemetery and therefore
comparatively few went there except by
team. The few old veterans, j. G. Son.
derman, Sam Fry, Jas. Lockard, f. A.
Wardwell and F. G. Myrick, escorted by
the Pembina Band and citizens, first
marched to the center of the Pembina
bridge, where after music by the band,
a miniature ship laden with beau
tiful blossoms was sent sailing down
the Red river towards the sea-as a for
al tribute to the memory of that great
great multitude of sailors who lie sleep
ing in its peaceful depths. Then taking
carriages, the band and veterans with a
considerable number of citizens went to
the city cemetery where the ritual ser
vices of the G. A. r. were read and the
graves of the veteran dead and their
sons were covered over with the beauti-
full flowers.'' The Pembina band MAX
special decoration of the grave of their
former comrade Henry Gerardine, who
was also the son of veteran.
The afternoon services at the City
Hall were carried out in fullaccording to
the program above. The school child
ren's songs and Rotations added much
to the interest of the occasion. Rev. Mr.
Karr gave mastery and eloquent ora
ton and held the intense interest of his
audience from beginning to end. Ger
tainly it was one of the best, if not the
best ever heard in this city on a similar
occasi IN.
We are requested in this connection
to give thanks for the G. A, r. and vet
Grams. to all who so kindly assisted in
making the day SO great success. Very
many were helpful, and in particular,
the teachers and pupils, the Pembina
Band, the young ladies with flowers,
those who furnished teams, the orator of
day, Rev. Karr, and many others. The
veterans hope that when they are gone,
that similar klndnesses may still be
given, yearly, to our country.

What's the Use?

It's little use for an editor to waste
his lungs and sprain his spine in try
ing to boom a town when the people
stand around with their hands in
their pockets and indifferently wait
for something to turn up, says an ez-
change. If the capitalists or business
men do not put their shoulders to the
wheel and do little boosting, it is
useless for the editor to try and boom
things. He can write boom" arti-
cles till be is bald headed, but if the
citizens themselves do not take hold
and push, the town will forever stick
in the mud. Of what use is it for the
local papers to suggest improvements
and new enterprises 1.-THE suggestions
are not acted uponl One man can
not boom a town. It requires the
concerted action of all the citizens.
Wien one man shoulders town and
attempts to carry it there are always
q lot OF cranky kickers ready to jump
on top of tho load. Unity of action
is what countr. :

Rapids and brought to Luverne and
the presence in the city Of num-
Der OF Rock Rapids people IN search
of the child aud her kidnapper occa-
stoned some little excitement on our
street Monday, but when the matter
was sifted it was found that the
"kidnapper':: had taken his own
child and 80 far as the law was con-
cerned had as much right to her as
anyone else. Clifford Bates, of Col
orado Springs, was the man charged
with the Kidnapping and the child
was bis little daughter between four
and five years Of age. His taking
the child was the result Of his wife
leaving him and suing for a divorce,
and his wife leaving him and suing
for divorce il said to be the result
of meddlesome sister, who lives
at Rock Rapids.
