perience and is well qualified for the
Office which he seeks. He was an Of
ficer in Eddy county for ten years
and points with pardonable pride to
his record as a public official. Mr..
Putnam is well acquainted with Sena-

Stark county people who have served
in the legislature during the past
eight or ten years and they all speak
highly Of him.

By vote of more than 2 to /,
New England has voted $11, 900 bonds
for a new school building. There had
been some question as to the location
of the new structure, but the Herald
states that the directors do not see
their way clear to pay $500 for a
new site north Of the Milwaukee
track, and therefore it is practically
settled that the building will be
erected on the old site south of the
Mckenzie store.

ately Prepared by Expert.
There was large turnout at
the Commercial club room Mon
day night to hear about the cost
of sewers from Engineer Ed
ward K. Mather of Mitchell.
About every phase of the matter
was discussed and the upshot of
it was that the city council was
asked to get into the game, which
they were prompt in doing the
very next forenoon. What they
did may be read in their proceed
ings in another column.
The need of a sewer system
has long been felt in this city.
and under the present plan it
can be secured without loading
another big debt upon the mu-
nicipality, as the cost will come
wholly from the individu al lots
benefited thereby.

Died From His Injuries.
w. B. Robinson Dies as Result of
Lamp Explosion.

People here were greatly pain
ed last Saturday to learn that
w. B. Robinson "Will," as he
was better known-was dead at
his home at Veblen. The first of
the week he had been badly
burned by an explosion of agaso-
line lamp which he was filing,
but reports had given promise of
his recovery, hence it was that
his death brought such a shock
to old friends in this city. ; He
was running a bakery and res.
turant at Veblen and leaves a
wife and three children, the
youngest but three weeks old.
The parents of deceased, Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Robinson, and
three sisters live in this city,
therefore the body was brought
here for burial. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon from the
M. E. chuch, Rev. r. G. Shearer
officiating. The burial was un-
der the auspices of the local
Woodman lodge of which de-
ceased was a member and in
which he carried an insurance
of $4,000.

When the Circus Comes to Town.

Circus day is fast approaching
and the small boy is on his best
behavior. If it were not for fact
that his mother is wise to his
methods, his angelic goodness
would give her some alarm. She
knows that he is working to see
that circus. For that matter
mother wants to see it also.
Father is non-committal but it is
the one best bet that he will be
there if it is for no other reason
than to take the boy. You see
he has not forgotten when he
was a little shaver himself.

6. Be truly patriotic. Have that
patriotism which will make you
put civic righteousness above

you to give your vote to the right

considered England's great COM
mercial strength and the fact
that she was mistress of the sea,
he was very proud to be an Eng.
lish subject; but when he saw
how the oppressed and down.

States as a place where they

rather bea citizen of this country

tism on the part of it's citizens
will make this country the great
est nation that ever existed and
one which will have power and
influence to the end of time.
z. To be truly successful in this
life. one must have faith in God.
In the East where the Christian
faith is lacking, man lacks faith
in himself, and his standards
are very low. No man can be
true success unless he believes
in the creed of the lowly Nazar-
enc. AS we become discouraged
in life's battles, when our ideals
seem beyond our grasp this abid-
ing faith in God enables US to
hear His voice in the deepest
and hardest of life's struggles,
Peace, be still; will pilot thee. T"

Sermon By Prof. Rupe

Prof. Rupe who has been here
for about two weeks in connec.
tion with Chautauqua and sum-
mer school work gave very fine
practical and sensible talk at the
Presbyterian church last Sun.
day morning. The address had
no oratorical flights; it was a
simple, plain message from the
heart and strongly appealed to
every one.
The thoughts Prof. Rnpe pre-.
sented were suggested to him
by the words of Jesus II came
that ye might have life and have
it more abundantly." II order
to have this fuller, more blessed
and enjoyable life, the speaker
presented the following sugges.
tions: 1. Form a true conception
of life. Realize what life is given
to you for and try to get the very
best out of it, that which will
bring the highest JOY to yourself
and your fellowmen. 2. Work is
a lever, it is power, and there.
fore work with directed effort,
since it is the only way to bring
about results. Only about five
out of every hundred are doing
the thing they ought to do, that
for which they are best fitted.
Such a waste of time and effort
in the vain endeavor to make our
selves what we are not, should
be stopped. Nearly every per
son has a special adaptation fo1
his own peculiar part in life and
he must study himself, the par
ents must study their children
and try to fit them for the work
they can do best. Even work
with directed efforts will not
bring the truest success in life
consequently we must strive te
develop character. Surely no one
followed his bent more closely
or worked with more directed
concentrated effort than Nepole
on Bonaparte. Influenced by
conditions before his birth and
by the environment of his child
hood and youth, he became by
desire and training one of the
greatest generals the world has
ever known, and a great leader
and statesman as well; but his

cellency is often developed
through hardship, but as il

Another Chautauqua has come |

rain and mud, there was a large

instead a surplus of about 81 so

Chautauqua for next year and it
only remains for the people to do
their share of work and assume
their small part of the financial
responsibilities connected with
these Chautauquas to have them
of annual occurrence in this city.
At the Sunday afternoon meet
ing, when there must have been
close to 1000 people present, the
following resolutions, offered by
the local chairman, Mr.. H. S.
Morris, were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, that the people of
Sisseton hereby express their
appreciation of the splendid SER
vice rendered and the uniform
courtesy and good humor dis=
played by Prof. Rupe as conduc-
tor of the Chautauqua during
week of peculiarly trying and
discouraging circumstances.
Also to Miss Davis for the
hours of laughter and joy that
have come to heslittle folks as a
result of her thoughtful and
painstaking care.
Resolved further, that in the
event a Chautauqua contract be
made for 1915 with the White
Myres Company, it is the wish
of this gathering that both Mr..
Rupe and Miss Davis return
again in their present capacities.
Resolved further, that the
Secretary of the Chautauqua
committee be requested to for.
ward copy of these resolutions
to the White-Myres Company
and also to furnish a copy both
to Prof. Rupe and Miss Davis"
Thursday afternoon the enter
tainment prelude was taken up
by the Eastern Artists whose
work was of high order, es-
pecially that of the impersonator.
The lecture, Through the MILL"
by Frederick Kenyon Brown
was something of disappoint-
ment.
In the evening DR.. John Mer-
rite Driver, man who has
Travelled extensively and studied
conditions in other countries,
talked most entertainingly for
about an hour and a half, leaving
asplendid a impression with his
audience.
Friday was given over entirely
to music, the Ladies Imperial
Orchetra of Is pieces holding the
stage both afternoon and evening
and giving pleasure to all who
heard them.
Saturday afternoon there was
a most delightful recital enter
tainment by Marian Chase
Schaeffer. Besides being fine
singer Mrs. Schaeffer is won
derful lmperSOnatOr, one OF the
best to be heard anywhere. The
afternoon talk was by Hon.
Harry Phillips, an ex.mayor of
one of the large districts of Lon
don, who is studying conditions
in this country. His address
was most inspiring and uplifting.
In the evening DR.. Sigel Roush
gave an intensely interesting

Summer School Closes

Too Soon for Teachers.
Monday noon saw the close of
a two weeks term of Summer
Normal school = two weeks
mighty protitably spent by about
125 teachers and soon.to.be
teachers of Roberts county.
While the weather during the
greater part of the time was cold
and rainy, within the building
where the school was held the
atmosphere was cheerful and
pleasant, rejecting the happiness
of all who were in any way con-
nected with the work. The only
criticism heard of the Summer
school was that it was too short.
the teachers expressing wish
that it might last at least q
month, so that they could get
just that much more good out of
it. But this could not be, as the
funds available were not suffici-
entto carry the work to a greater
length than the usual time.
There were six stronginstruc-
tors, viz: Conductor, B. E. Myers,
Redfield, s. D.; w. s. Rupe, Bur
lington Kansas; H. Howard Big
gar, Aberdeen, s. D.; Miss Meta
Winston Davis. Kansas City, Mo-;
W.. Guthrie, Sisseton, 8. D.;
Miss Joyce Berkin, KeEmare, N.
D. Each one was filled with en-
thusiasm for the work in his or
her particular line of endeavor,
and the students readily took on
the inspirational spirit that was
manifest in the various rooms.
Great help was derived from
the morning lectures in the gen
eral assembly room and from
the lectures given in connection
with the regular class room work.
The teachers all went home with
note books we'll filed with helps
and suggestions that will prove
of inestimable value throughout
the coming year.
In one Of his helpful lectures
Conductor Myers said that in
spite of certain criticism to the
contrary our schools are prepar-
ing the children to be all around
men and women and not merely
teaching them how to make a
living.
Prof. Rupe laid great stress
on the need of greater efficiency
on the part of the teacher and
more devoted labor.
One of the subjects handled
by Prof. Biggar was, playing

tions compared life to a game.
where the honor lay more in the
way in which we meet the diff

culties than in the scores that

poet of considerable renown,
favored the school with some of
his own productions.
One morning Miss Burk gave
