Teach the children to know right

remembering always that the
methods must be varied from
year to year. What appeals to a
child Of six is not interesting to
one of seven, and the child of
eight requires different instruc-

appeal to the play instinct. This

Beautiful Sisseton.

You have one of the most
beautiful places 1 have visited in
a long time'', said Geo. Miller,
the state secretary of Sunday
school work, while here last week.
The remark was made while the
speaker was standing on the
upper floor of the court house
and gazing at the rising hills to
the westward which are just now
looking so green and beautiful.
Mr.. Miller went on to say that
the rolling surface of the outly.
ing country reminded him very
strongly of England. The con-
versation with Mr.. Miller set
the writer to thinking along the
line of the work of the Civic
League and to wondering if the
ladies of that association had
any real definite plan laid out
along which they hope to work
to make Sisseton a more beauti.
full place. Probably not. Some
years ago a similar organization
at Fergus Falls, Mimi, began
work along this same line. In
order that their work might not
be done blindly and at haphazard
they sent to st. Paul or Mime
apolis and secured an expert to
map out a plan which would take
years to carry out. This is given
merely as a suggestion to the
Civic League. The first object
of the ladies is to awaken a suf.
ficient pride in the people here
to clean the town up and keep it
clean. When they are satisfied
along this lire, other things may
follow.

planned and part of the work
had to be carried over into the
afternoon session.

Address by H. S. Morris.

Last Sunday morning n. S.
Norris gave a splendid talk at
the Presbyterian church on the
value to be derived from the
hardships Of life rather than from
the easy things. In Illustration
he gave the story of Abraham
and Lot when they parted com
pany after their herdsmen
began to quarrel over the grazing
land. Lot was given his choice
and took the rich ] ordan Valley
which seemed to him the easiest
and best place in which to pros
per, and the utter failure of his
life was pointed out. In con-
trast the story of the children of
Israel was cited. The hard task
of leaving Egypt, the marvellous
crossing of the Red sea, the
long years of hardship in the
wilderness and the courage in
meeting foes on every side; the
sorrow endured in the death of
their beloved leader and others.
How Caleb, unlike Lot, under
took a hard task. By unremit-
ting toll and the display of great
courage in the face of insur.
mountable obstacles and terrible
danger, he conquered his enemies
and triumphantly led the hosts
of Israel into the land of milk and
honey.
The lesson for the congrega-.
ton was to do the hard things.
If fitis hard for one to give money,
let him deny himself and give; if
for another to give up a Sunday
automobile ride and go to church,
do it; if it is hard to meet strang.
ers at the door, that is the thing
to do. The hard things are what
make character. Service is the
keynote Of life. 1t may be that
only by bitter tears and hard
struggle we shall be able to reach
the high ideals placed before us
by God.
Next Sunday morning the ser
vice will be conducted by Judge
Andrews who will be well worth
hea ring.

Elsie Sateren Married

On Wednesday, June II, Miss
Elsie, daughter of County Com
missioner M. L. Sateren, was
married at Fargo, N. D. The
Courier News gives the following
account of the happy affair:

son, maid of honor. The groom
was attended by his brother, Mr..
A. M. Ditmorson. The impress.
sive ring cermony was used.
After the happy rites had been
performed a sumptuous wedding
dinner was served, Mrs. Lien
taking her place as hostess, and
very bouteously did justice to
the duties of that position.
The bride was dressed in white
French crepe dechine, trimmed
with shadow lace and pearl beads.
She wore tulle veil made in cap
effect, caught up with lilies of
the valley. She carried a shower
buoquet of bridal roses and lilies
of the valley. The maid of honor
was attired in silk crepe dechine
and carried pink carnations.
The groom was attired in the
conventional black.
Both the contracting parties
are we'll known to a large circle
of friends in the city, having re-
sided here for some time. The
bride is graduate nurse of St.
Luke's hospital, and has had a
number of years of active ser.
vice in the city. The groom was
employed at the Scandinavian
American bank for few years,
and gave very efficient service.
He resigned his position recently
and is now located at Conner,

lumber dealer. Mr.. and Mrs.

Makes Four Now After That Office.
Present mcumbent's Term Expires
Soon, But He May Hold Over.
The contest for the postmastership
at Dawson has been enlivened and
new interest aroused by another en-
trant.
Saturday it became known that
DR.. w. B. Cheatham had made appli-
cation for appointment, making four
who would like to serve Uncle Sam
in looking after his business here.
The other three are Messrs. o. E.
Lowe, ]. D. Weaver and Roy Crouch,
all of whom have been candidates
and actively at work to land the Of
fee since the national democratic vic
tory more than a year ago. DR..
Cheatham, who is at present the or
binary of the county, is one of Daw-
sons most prominent and popular
citizens, and although he has entered
at a late date it is conceded that he
will be a strong factor in the con-
test.
Postmaster Lewis commission will
expire on June 28th, but whether his
successor will be appointed at that
time is problematic. AS is known,
Congressman Crisp has been in Colo
RADIO for some time for his health,
and it is the belief of many that he
will make no recommendation for
the Dawson office until he returns
from the West. If that proves to be
true the present incumbent may hold
over two or three months.
