Communication


MARVIN ClCIZen MAKES COTEectlOus
In the last weeks issue OF
the Grant County News, it says
"Som ebody told Fibs." In the
same article the News ''tells tibs y
itself. The News does not seem
to understand that this article in
the Review did not say anything
about the judges who had their
names signed to the statement
in the Mllbank papers last week,
but about few people working
in the interest of certain parties
running for office.
The News says "the fellow in
Marvin bat the News is badly
mistaken, because this "fellow"
practically means about every
voter in the town The whole
town was against the way they
were working to get their candi-
dates in. This statemen from
the judges has nothing to do with
the article iu the Review.
In the News for June 2O-this
paper is dated June 50-the News
gives itself away when it says
that the cards were not 9 bit
more unfair than the sample bal
lot marked with q lineup for the
stalwart candidates. This ballot
was carried around by one of the
News own men from early in the
morning until late at night. II
you had looked into the matter
when listening to talk from ex-
cited people you would save your
own head from worry when you
write about air the wind blows
around. You know, Mr.. Editor,
that we all make mistakes in this
world aud we lots of times talk
about something we should not.
The friend, who talks about
"this fellow in Marvin, is max
ing himself liable for something
that will be q little harder than
talk when the time comes. These
stories will some day be looked
into and he will find out what be
is dong. Next time he reports
to the News he should think q |
and good sense will say
to him: Do not talk about some /
thing you know nothing OF.
These stories about a certain |
person are all wind, South Dako-
ia wind
We are willing to keep it all to
ourselves as long as the other
party does, but if he is looking
for some fun he will certainly get
a good mixup right here. Once
more we will say that this article
was not in any way to hurt thel
judges and anyone that looks in
to the same will readily see that.

Wilson and Marshall
Democratic Have Exciting Convention
ut Baltimore and Sulect Ma
tiOnal Leaders.


The Democratic National Con-
vention at Baltimore has been
about as exciting and fiamboyant
as the recent republican conven.
tion at Chicago. Our democratic
friends at the opening of the
convention referred with consid-
cradle gusto to the language of
some Of the Chicago delegates
when in the ardor of their enthu-
siasm they called each other
thief, liar and similar little pet
names, and intimated that there
would be nothing of that charac
ter permitted at Baltimore, and
we were looking to see the dem
ocrats carry on their convention

have been because of the extreme
hot weather or from some other
other cause, but the meeting had
scarcely opened when Billy Bry-

the fur commenced to fly, Willie
and the tiger every once in while
running around the ring in a
very furious fashion, sometimes
Willie in close chase of the tiger
and again the tiger after Willie
in a very threatening manner.
1t was very soon apparent that
as a real world peace convention
the Baltimore product was des-
tined to have no precedence over
Chicago.
Your real democrat does enjoy
voting-"early and often" was
once his watchword but as at
present, the rules of society
are more strictly enforced than
formerly, he is prohibited from
doing this at home, so when he
gets off to a place like Baltimore
he feels bound to indulge his ap
petite for voting to the fullest ex-
tent,-aNd what an enjoyable
time he had. One, two, three,
five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty
five, thirty, thirty-fve times, and
day by day he dropped his line
into the turbulent waters and
pulled up his hook without get
ting bite from even a bull head.

The cyclone followed a day of

Notwithstanding, many people
were in the streets, walking, or
riding in carriages or automo-

The Methodist and Baptist
churches, both magnificent struc
lures, were among the first of the
larger buildings struck. The
former went down with a crash
that hardly sounded above the
howllng of the storm and the roar
of the cloudburst that accompan-
led the wind. The greater part
of the roof was removed from
Knox church, and the storm
moved on across Victoria square,
removing the walls and roof of
the Y. NJ. G. A., badly wrecking
the new public library, and pass

church. The masonic temple
was next razed.

faster here, leveling buildings as
though they were egg shells. To
ward the Canadian Pacific tracks
the storm tore its way Six big
elevators were toppled, and grain
and timbers we're piled high on
the tracks. Among the elevators
were those of the Western Cana

Canadian Northern the Saskat-

elevator also were leveled.
Two fires broke out after the
fury of the storm was spent, but
as the fire halls are in the un-
harmed district, and there was
good pressure on the water
mains, the flames were confined
to the ruins where they started.
After the cyclone had left the
city in the direction of Central

seen in all directions but building

Good Road to Marvin
Mflbank Business Men Lend 4 Helping

From the Marvin Monitor
The town of Osceola, under the
overseership of Anton Anderson,
is constructing much needed
road east of town which when
finished will make better road
down on the flats then we have
before enjoyed. 1t opens a fine
auto road to Twin Brooks, Mil
bank and Wilmot. After it was
started it was found that it
would take considerable more
labor to finish the job, so there
was call for donation money for
the good work and a general re.
sponSe of our business men and
enterprising farmers. 1t was
found that they were still shy to
complete the road as it was plan
ned, so A. J. Poppelman and N.
A. Hicks decided to see if the
Milbank business men would
lend a helping hand to get a good
road up the hills with the follow

LENT WILL BEGIN EARLY.
Easter Comes on March 23, Almost
Earliest Date POssibIe-TO
be Made Permanent

There has been much discussion
in the past and there always will
be regarding the movable feasts.'
There is no possible way of making
it clear to the majority Of the people
why a date that has a religious or
historical significance should vary
as much as for instance the Easter
services vary. There are some Of
the students who can explain this
variation to their own satisfaction
and perhaps they are all right. But
what does their explanation explain?
The right thing to Go would be to
fix a certain date and let it go at
that. That would appeal to the large
majority who are supposed to OBJ
serve these holidays. One who may
know something about the movable
feaStS says:
Lent will begin on February -,
the earliest date since 1918. The
reason for this early arrival of that
season when the members of the
social whirI are forced to lay aside
their activities is that the ideal or
ecclesiastical moon, adopted by the
churches hundreds of years ago, de-
termines the date for Easter, which
next year will fall upon March 20,
one day later than the earliest pos
sible date upon which Easter may
fall, March %.
The custom established by the
churches DEGREES that Easter shall
fall ION the first Sunday after the
first full moon after March y.
Easter a church official said,
and with it Of course, the ending of
Lent. is a movable feast and is fixed
by the ideal moon, adopted by the
churches hundreds of years ago,
when they were attempting to settle
upon the fixed date for Easter.
SO the individuals who bemoan
the fact that their social duties will
be cut short this winter by the ar
rival Of Easter can blame it on the
moon, the same moon that the youth
Of the land usually pick upon to

various business will be hit by
the early arrival of Lent, too. Flor
lists and stationers probably will find
their profits cut by the abbreviated
social season."

seated, but she quietly held out her
arms for the poor child who lay groan-
ing in the chauffeur's gentle grasp.
A tall young man stepped briskly
through the crowd, and made his way
to her side.
"Oh, Doctor Grant-Tm SO glad
you're here" exclaimed Paula i'm

Assisting Paula into the motor, he
made the child comfortable on her lap

I'll report to you later, Peters," he
called to the policeman, who immedi-
ately permitted them to drive away.
In few minutes they were at the
stricken home. A tired, resigned wo-
man opened the door, and after the
doctors tactful explanation, she mute
ly accepted this last blow which I'M
kind fate had seen fit to administer.
While Doctor Grant and the mother
were working over the boy, Paula's
quick eyes took in every detail of the
bare home. Christmas for the many
little Browns promised to be scanty.
A kind neighbor had taken the other
children to her home, SO Paula's pres
ence was unnecessary. She slipped
out Of the house, gave the chauffeur a
few instructions and as he drove off
rapidly, she sought nearby telephone
booth and after ten very satisfactory
minutes, was beck at the house. Her
phone calls were to certain toy deal
ers and caterers, and long before the
doctor was ready to go, the chauffeur
had shyly dragged baskets and bun
dies of all sizes and shapes into the
wee kitchen.

Paula's heart leaped violently, but

Colonel Roosevelt was president of

other president in our day had such
complete control of the executive
power as he enjoyed for nearly two
presidential terms. He had the con-

trusted in him. They listened to him.
He had q congress fully in sympathy

for seven years he was the controlling
