Sank Centre Boy and North Da-
kOta Girl are Married
PRETTY HOME WEDDING
Mr.. Oscar A. Fridlund and Miss
Cora Wesley Unite Their life's
Fortune Recently

The Portland, N. D., Republican
of October II, prints the following
account of the marriage of a we'll
known Sank Centre boy:
"A pretty home wedding was SOL
emnized at the ]. M. Wesley home
on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock
when the Rev. E. H. Peatfield pro-
nounced the words that made Mr..
Oscar A. Fridlund and Miss Cora
Wesley man and wife.
''The home had been prettily dec
Grated in pink and white and carna-
tions and ferns were in profusion.
There were some twenty relatives and
near friends assembled. After the
ceremony a reception was held and
the wants of the inner man were
very amply gratified.
''The groom is an enterprising and
promising young man of Sank Gen.
tire, Minnesota, being a carpenter,
and although he is an entire stranger
to all our readers his appearance is
most favorable to new acquaintances.
He was attended by Mr.. Eddie Sew
erson.
"The bride is one of Portland's
highly respected young ladies. She
was born and raised here but for a
few years made her home at Brain
erd, Minnesota She returned to this
city about two years ago to keep
house for her father. She was
dressed in white satin and wore a
bridal veil. She carried carnations
and was attended by Miss Laura
WINES. Miss Gina Severson acted
as flower girl.
'The bridal party left Sunday even
ing by auto for Hillsboro where they
took the train for Fargo to visit a
sister of the groom for day before
leaving for Sank Centre, Minnesota,
to make a visit with the groom's
parents. They expect to locate in
Minneapolis in the near future where
Mr.. Fridlund will work at his trade.
Among the out of town guests
were: Mr. and Mrs. P. Fridlund, of
Sank Centre, Minnesota, father and
mother of the groom, and a sister,
Miss Anna Fridlund, of Fargo, N. D."
Mr.. and Mrs. Fridlund visited Sank
Centre last week and spent few
days with the groom's parents. The
groom is we'll known here where he
has many friends.

TWO LIVES JOINED PRICE OF LIVING
Comparisons Made With Half a
Century Ago Prices
FIGURES AFTfRTHfW WAR
Old Soldier Gives The Herald Some
Excerpts From His Memoran-
dunn Book Kept Then

In view of the fact that there is a
great deal said these days about the
high cost of living, some figures TAX
en- from the memorandum book kept
by an old soldier are of interest.
James Iverson of this city severed
through the war and at the close of
hostilities retired to civil life as all
good soldiers did and has remained
in that position ever since. During
the four or five years succeeding the
war prices scared good deal. Along
in 1866 and 1867 Mr.. Iverson kept a
memorandum book of purchases made
for himself and his family. One day
during the past week Mr.. Iverson
dropped into The Herald office and
gave out for publication some of
these figures. What follows here
shows that this is not the only time
in the history of the nation when
prices scared.
One of the items in Mr.. VERSIONS
little book shows that he bought tea
and paid 1920 a pound for it. The
best tea is now in the neighborhood
of so cents.
Coffee, Is cents pound; evaporat-
ed apples, $1.O0 for five pounds. The
best coffee can now be had for As
cents and apples for about half the
price then paid.
Here are some more items: blue
denims, As cents yard; 1 skein block
thread, cents; 1 package envel-
opes, Is cents; 2 bars soap, 80 cents;
calico, SO cents a yard Present
prices on these articles do not look
nearly as bad as those above.
Among Mr.. VERSIONS purchases are
the following: -four, 100 pounds,
$3.50; pork, 20 cents a pound; 1
pound chewing tobacco, go cents; 1
pair boots, $3.50; pounds brown
sugar, $1.OO; one broom, 40 cents;
salt, cents pound.
During the period in which the
above purchases were made and re-
corded wages were higher proportion
ately than they are now, says Mr..
Iverson. Along in 1870 he says he
paid men to bind by hand in harvest
$500 day. He had to furnish whis-
key in addition if the men demanded
it. Now the average wage for men
in the harvest field is $500 to $3.50
per day. Mr. Iverson thinks, in view
of the prices paid in the years which
his memorandum book covers, the
people are not now so very badly off

Five thousand Loyal Sons and
Daughters of ~. of NJ" Do
Honor to ''Prexy"
A TORCHLlGnT PARADE
New President of Institution Form
ally Inaugurated With Great
Ceremony
Editorial Correspondence


MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 18:-George Ed
gar Vincent was this week formally
indicted into office as president of
the great Minnesota State University.
To the alumni and students, the
great feature of Inauguration week
was the torchlight parade on Tues
day night when five thousand or more
alumni and undergraduates marched
through the campus with torches and
transparancies, thence into Northrup
field where there was a brilliant dis
play of fire and other works.
1t was proud time for the gu"
1t was a still prouder time for the
alumni. Five hundred or more of
the loyal sons and daughters of the
"U," many of them showing the gray
in their hair, lined up, took torches
in their hands, marc he'd and paid
tribute to their Alma Mater and its
distinguished head.
The first class graduated in 1S73Z
two men-neither of whom coul1 be
present. In 1874 two more men were
given diplomas. Both lave passed on
RI bn 81,
their brother and sister alumni. In
the centennial year fourteen young
men and women were sert forth from
the institution. Some are dead. OF
the survivors two were in line, John
S. Clark, professor of Latin in the
GU" w. E. Leonard, NJ. ID. a success
full physician of Minneapolis. Sixteen
diplomas were issued in 1877 This
class has lost six members by death.
OF the ten survivors, four were in
line; Stephen Mahoney, for ten years
judge of the municipal court in Min
neapolis and for four years a member
of the University Board of Regents;
Walter S. Pardee, Minneapolis arch
itect: Mrs. M. J. Wilkin, the valedic-
torian of the class, who taught for q
quarter of century at the "U" and
retired on a Carnegie pension last
June. The fourth was myself. Sew
enty eight had three in lin; 10 about
ten; then came later classes with
goodly sized delegations. Julius E.
Miner, the only of the five graduates
in 1875, was the first alumnus in line.
1t seemed to us old timers who
walked near the front that it was the
proudest moment of our lives.
The cadet band led the procession,
then came the alumni in order OF
classes, the oldest first. After the
alumni marched the students. All
the marchers wore caps and gowns;
the men carried torches and the
women and girls Japanese lanterns.
Twice around the big campus and
twice into University avenue wound
the monster procession. When the
head reached the entrance to North
rop field the men in the rear hadn't
started. Twice around the big field
we paraded, dipping our Transparent
cies and torches and doffing hats as
we passed the new president and the
governor of Minnesota in the review
ing stand. Then we took seats in
section of the grand stand. We
looked toward the gate and the pro-
cession kept coming and coming; it
seemed as though it wouldnever stop.
Finally they all got inside and the
students formed rectangle about

A Man Will Wear Out From Eight to

The shops and booths Of Japan are of
