ChriStiana Greetings
Milbank Young Man Writes from
NOrway's Capital.

Our young friend Norman
Hanson, who made a trip to his
native Norway some weeks ago
to attend the one hundredth an
niversary of Norway's indepen.
dence writes from Christiana on
May Goth as follows:
1--WE had very fine journey
from start to finish" We left
Minneapolis on the I'd of May at
8 in the evening with special ex-
cursion train for New York.
We had stop at Chicago for six
hours and at Washington for
about ten hours. We enjoyed
taking in the capitol and other
public buildings in Washington.
Wegot into New York at six 6
O'Clock in the morning of May 5
1t rained all morning, so we did
not see much Of the city. The
kristiansford left the harbor at
.2o'clock of the afternoon. The
trip across the ocean was made
in nine days at an average rate
of 335 miles a day. we had 1900
passengers on board be-
ides the crew. We had a
very pleasant voyage. and a good
time every day. The college
band from Decorah came on
the same steamer SO we had
plenty of music on the voyage.
The band made great hit in
Christiana, and give daily con-
,certs to full houses.
| arrived home the 18th OF
May at midnight. There is a
difference of time Of seven
hours between Christiana and
Milbank, and | didn't change
my watch until | arrived here.
1t does not get dark here until
about II O'Clock, and gets day
light at 2:3O in the morning.
At the celebration here on the
18th of May, independence day,
the Norwegian Americans march
ed with our American flags.
| wish the people Of Milbank
could have seen all these school
children in the line of march
with their banners and flags.
It took three hours for the pro-
.cession to pass where we stood
and looked on, and every school
had its own band and banner
and many Of them carried the
Norwegian flag
With kind regards to Milbank
friends especiallybrothers Of the
|. Q. Q. F., | remain with best
wishes.

We Are Champions

The following clipping can be
found in several local and daily
papers:
The Summit baseball team de.
feated the Pever team by score
Of s to L. Summit has a good re.
cord this year. The team beat
Wilmot. then the Wilmot beat
Peever. Peever shut out Corona
and Summit beat Peever, prov
ing. in the belief of the Summit
fans, that she has the champion
team IN that section Of South
Dakota. =
Now just to take the .'kinks :
out of the above we will say
that Milbank has defeated both
Wilmot and Summit teams two
games and we therefore claim
the champion team of this part
Of the state.

In Dreamland

One Of our young men went to
Summit visiting friends, and
while waiting for No 6 at the sta
ton Saturday sat down for a
nap. About Is minutes before
the train arrived one of the pas
sengers in the depot went and
shook the young man SO that he
would not miss the train But
the young man thinking he was
at home and that some Of his
folks wanted him to go to bed,
took off his shoes and coat and
got up, reaching for the stair
way, when some one spoke to
him. Then he first realized that
he was in the depot instead Of at
home.

A Keep Clean DecalOgue

AS 1t is cleaning up time and ef
forts are being made to give the town
a good appearance. the following ten
commandments if properly observed
will help to keep things cleaned up:
u. Thou shalt not throw any thing
you don't want on Main street side
walks.
2. Thou shalt not tear up paper
and throw il any where in town.
% Thou shalt not let piles of ashes
or rubbish stay in your back yard
Il. Thou shalt not mix ashes and
garbage. Pigs don't like to eat coal
and clinkers
IS. Thou shalt not use the side
walks for a cuspidor.
''6. Thou shalt not chalk the side
walks, fences, buildings or pavements.
-. Thou shalt not deface any
school furniture or any public pro-
perty.
IS. Thou shalt remember that
horses like banana skins-a banana
skin isn't dangerous inside q
horses stomach.
80 Thou shalt not do any thing
that shall bring disgrace to the town
ia which you live.
. Thou shalt not expect Milbank to be
come clean and perfect all at once.
It will become an ideal city only
when every body does something every
day to help make things better. In
keeping our town clean it would be a
splendid thing II all We're in sympathy
with the Boy Scout motto DO a good
turn every day.

which prevailed in the nuptial events

ness the happy termination of this
latest White House romance. Only
the immediate family OF both families
and the cabinet circle, with the vice
president and Mrs. Marshall.
Miss Eleanor has not yet decided
whether to be married in the East
room, on the spot hal1owed by ancient
tradition of the mansion or in the
Blue room, where Grover Cleveland
and his bride pronounced their solemn
vows Miss Margaret Wilson and Miss

David Houston, life long friend OF
the groom-to-be. :
Miss Wilson's gown will be most
elaborate, on the conventional lines,
the Foundation being heavy ivory satin
and the train brocaded chiffon almost
covered with lace and friIls of tulle.
The same wreath and veil which
served Mrs. Francis Sayre will be used
by her sister, likewise the ivory COW
cred prayer book.
Popular rumor has the hour as 5,
with a wedding supper of the old
fashioned kind following It, and the

not that long,

Let's Collect Auto Tax at Home.

" Newman Erb, railroad president,
having noticed that Iowa had licensed
more than 100000 automobiles re-
marked to a Chicago newspaper writ
er recently that the farmers of Iowa
are paying more for the maintenance,
operation and depreciation of their
motor cars than they are contributing
to the railways for both passenger
fares and freight charges. We know
that we have licensed one automobile
for every mile of highway in the state
and almost one for every two farms
but it has remained for the railroad
man to tell us that auto transrorta-
ton is now costing us more than rail
transportation.
However, be that as it may, the
story has not all been told. For
every thousand autos licensed there
are a great many not licensed. That
condition is coming up in every COM
munity. How many no one knows,
but there are a great many Every
town in Iowa is graphing with the
problem of the unlicensed car; the
tax dodger
1t is the duty of every court before
whom an auto owner is convicted to
enter judgment for the amount of the
license in addition to the fines and
