~ HIGH SCHOOL BY THE RE-
LIEF URrs AS PATRIOTIC
REMINDER.

Through the efforts Ut the good
women OF the Relief Corps 1t is like
ly that every school house in the city
will DOR he III PROUD %possessor of
an American nag. Several have al
ready been presented to ward schools
and Monday afternoon the high
school department was the recipient
of a beautiful emblem of the nations
freedom.
Mrs. Evelyn Curtis, the patriotic
instructor Of the Relief Corps, made
the presentation speech in behalf Of
the Corps, and in the course Of. her
remarks she emphasized the fact
that the work Of the schools was to-
prepare the children for good citi-
zenship, and that patriotism was n
Of the chief qualifications to make
good citizens. She stated that the
flag was presented to the school as
sort Of a reminder Of the duty Of the
children to their country and to re-
member what the flag stood for.
Superintendent Hof accepted the
flag in behalf of the school and ten
dered the thanks Of the children for
it. The superintendent spoke fur
Their along the lines Of patriotism and
of what it meant to be patriotic to
ones country, holding up the STAN
dard of citizenship as against the
grating instincts which are SO pre-
valent in the higher walks Of life.
Rev. w. NJ. MAR, of the Congrega-
tional church made some appro-
pirate remarks concerning what the
women have done for the country
during and since the days Of the
civil war, enumerating many of these
patriotic women who have raised the
standard Of patriotism by their
works.
Two patriotic songs were render
ed by the students of the high school
during and at the conclusion of the
exercises.
The flag is three by five feet and
stands on a pedestal with the staff.
1t will have a permanent place on
the platform in the high school build
ing. The presentation was very much
appreciated by the students of the
high school.

DRIVEN INSANE BY
DEATH OF

Oelrichs, S. D.-Grief over the
tragic death of two OF his children,
who were incinerated in q Are that
destroyed their home two years ago,
is believed to have caused Albert
Wendland, who vas arrested at Oel-
richs a day or two ago on the charge
of burglary to become insane. He
was detected in the act of breaking
into an Oelrich store building.
Friends who have watched him close
lly during the past two years are con-
WINGED that he has lost hts reason,
and that he for some time has not
been responsible for his actions. He
appears to have no concepuon OF
right or wrong. Last summer he was
arrested on the charge Of bootleg
ging," and had to pay a heavy fine
before he could secure his release. A.
number Of robberies have been COM
mitted at Oelrichs during the past
few weeks, and 1t now is believed that
his insane condition was responsible
for all Of them. He will be taken be-
fore the county board of insanity, and
II this confirms the opinion that he
has lost his reason he will be sent to.

against sin in every form, because of
what it is doing to injure humanity.
Last nights text was from 1sian
55-6: Seek We the Lord while he
may be found. call ye upon him
while he is near"
DR.. Bromley said in part: "There
are innumerable reasons why you
should be a Christian man. God
said you should be, because 1t is for
your best good. You should be a
Christian because you are immortal.
You are a superior being.
"1f you commit suicide you do not
put an end to your existence. You
are a fool to commit suicide with the
expectation OF getting away from
your mistakes or troubles. The nan
that dies with murder in his heart 10
leaving the best world he will get
into. You are not running away from
anything. II you are ever tempted
to do anything so rash, ask God to
forgive and cleanse you. and get a
touch Of grace. which is optimism.
death means something. It is
easy to talk lightly of death. when
the bloom Of youth is fresh. 1t is
another thing. when you are nat on
your back and death is staring you
in the face.
What is the real trouble? You
admit you ought to do right but re-
fuse. I charge any man that knows
to do right and won't do 1t with
cowardice. Think what 1t will mean
to yourself, your family. your friends
to get right with God"
At the close Of the sermon the in
vitation was given for those who
wanted to get right with God to come
forward and several made use Of
the opportunity and made the sur
