The rebels, on the other hand, for

Will ray for Recovery
Of Katherine Winters.

Sunday morning at the First Con
gregational church Of this city pray
ers will be asked for the recovery Of
little Catherine Winters, for whom a
nation wide search is being made
through every possible organization
and means.
The pastor, Rev. G. ]. Christianson,
believing in the supreme power of
united prayer, urges that as many as
possible Of those interested, come and
bow together in prayer that the in
ner spirit of our lives through God,
may go out and do that which money
cannot do, He urges aiso that those
who may not unite with this com
pany, remember it wherever they are
as a day of prayer for little Catherine
end those who are trying to find her,
Rev. Christianson viii also speak on
the Winters case, as it gives lesson
on the value placed by modern SO,
ciety upon childhood.
The sermon Of the morning, which
is closely connected with the search
for Catherine Winters, will be "the
Church of Christ and It's Mission. :
This is the second in the series on
the church. The evening sermon will
be second in the Lords Prayer series
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be
Done, on Earth as in Heaven"
This church believes in the saving
power of Jesus Christ today. Not on
a basis of namby pamby supersti-
tions. but upon a basis of truth and
science, law and order God and Spir
1T, love and Christ Himself. 1t be
alieves that the power of the spirit is
not dead, and that the church is awak
ening to the light that is hers, and
that new day is dawning when we
shall witness a Pentecost right here
in Watertown, in which scores OF
souls shall be saved, and lives that
are today a disgrace to our streets
shall be made pure and true and
worth while. 1t shall again be proven
that religion pays.

Yankton is as Dry as
a Sap Tree in June

Yankton, March 5--The six saloons
July /, closed upon receipt of the
state supreme court decision, and will
not reopen until July / next, if a legal
election permits saloons at that time
The court decision was in a case in
which it was held that of the 81 sign
ers to the petition asking for an cleo
ton on the question of selling in
toxicating liquors les than twenty-five
were qualified signers, according to a
new state law which became operative
March 4, 1918, the petitioners being
ignorant of the requirements of said
law.
At the election held April 15, 1918,
the saloons won by large majority.
The trial court decided later the petit
ton was Illegal. The city appealed
and the supreme court affirmed the
trial court decision.
In one case the signer owned a
large building in the city, but it was
upon leased ground. In another case
the signed had contracted for num-
Der of town lots, but the deed did not
pass to him until several weeks after
the signer had contracted for num-
other cases no claim of validity of
signatures was presented when they
were questioned, the whole outcome
being that when those not entitled to
sign had been eliminated the required
number of twenty-five freehold petit
TONERS did not remain, as nine names
were eliminated from a petition car
rying but thirty-one in all.
