ANNIVERS SARY CELEBRATION OF
APPOMATOX CARRIED OUT
SPLENDIDLY, DESPITE
BAD WEATHER
CAMP FIRE" PACKS COURTHOUSE
Old Soldiers Recount interesting
Stories Of Their Personal Ex-
periences in the Great
Civil War

Despite inclement weather, the
celebration last Friday Of the 5Oth
anniversary Of Lees surrender at
Appomatox was a great success.
Through the energy of that staunch,
loyal veteran, w. G. Gerard, the
celebration Of the anniversary Of this
important event, which, otherwise,
we are safe in confessing, would
have passed by un0bserved and
scarcely thought Of, was carried
through in a manner that reflected
credit on the city and especially up
on all those who contributed to the
success of the program On that day.
1t was the desire Of the members
of the local c. A. R., w. R. c. and
S. of Y. to utilize the 50th anniyer-
sary Of Lees surrender to celebrate
the triumph Of peace and to add
fresh fuel to the fires OF patriotism
that have been allowed to die down
by neglect, also to stimulate in the
triotism, than which there is but one
stronger force fer promoting good
citizenship.
The program commenced With q
matinee performance at the Unique
Theater, Manager Martin kindly fur
nished the theatcr at merely a nom
inal charge sufficient to cover ac-
tual expense when Sherman
Marched to the Sea-" fine three
reel production was shown as the
principal feature of the matinee, A
drill by fifty children, 25 boys and
% girls, in the aisles of the Unique
theater, was splendidly executed, call
ing for the commendation Of all The
children were drilled by Miss Ruth
Hamblin.
Over $40 was realized for the To-
cal G. A. R. Post by the matinee.
In the evening, the "camp-fire'
was held at the courthouse, which
was packed to it's capacity, includ-
ing standing room, and then a num-
Der of people were turned away AT
ter singing praise God From Whom
All Blessings Flow" in which all
Joined, Rev. A. Prouty, chaplain Of
the post, opened the program with
an invocation.

aninnies was enthusiastically re
coived and an encore was respond

Wisconsin's First Capitol Building

New Used as a Stable
Probably most citizens of Wiscon-
sin are unaware of the fact that
the first capitol building erected in
Wisconsin is still in existence, and
that it is being put to the humble
uses of a stable. 1t was erected soon
after Wisconsin was set off as a
separate territory, a stOry-and- -a-half
frame building, whose timbers ac,
cording to local tradition were
carried by steamboat, down the
Ohio, and up the Mississippi and
thence brought by way of Galena
overland for thirty miles to Belmont.
The village of Belmont lay in the
heart of the lead mining region of
Wisconsin, and when the first ter
ritorial legislature convened there on
October 25, 1886, the primitive min
ors' shafts and prospectors' holes
were still everywhere to be seen.
During the legislative session of
1895 it was a busy little commun-
ity, and it had ambitions to become
the permanent seat of the territorial
government, but when the legislature
finally determined upon Madison, it
quickly sank from public sight. The
capitol building was disposed of to-
farmer, and by him converted in
to a stable. A description of early
Belmont may be found in the Pro
ceedings of the Wisconsin Histori-
cal Society.

a Kansas Dollar

A farmer out in Kansas
About five years ago,
Went into town, one day to spend
Some of his hard earned dough.
And in merry JEST and just
70 show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down at the village store;
He thought twas gone forever,
then,
And he'd see it no more.
But long before that year rolled
by,
One day he went to fill
\ neighbours order and received
That same one dollar bill. .
Once more he spent that dollar
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and
friends
The most amount of good
Four times in two years it came
back
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out to
spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise, that dollar
might
Be in his town today,
But just about two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then,
! know have got it still,
For twas tn a mail order house
He sent his dollar bill.
No more will that marked dollar
come
Into the farmers hands,
And nevermOre will t help pay
The taxes on his lands.
He put it where it never can
It's work in life fulfill,
He brought about the living death

WOULD BE EASY TO INCREASE
PROSPERITY IN THIS
COMMUNITY

We give you the secret without
cost.
Simply KEEP YOUR MONEY
All HOME.
IllIs does not mean that you
should not spend it. but that you
should spend it at home. where it
has a chance to come back to you.
If you buy a stove in Chicago.
The money goes to Chicago. The
firm you buy the stove from pays
taxes in Chicago. The members Of
the firm and its employees buy
their goods almost anywhere, eX-
cept here in Wahpeton. If their
business is successful they accu-
mulate millions of profits and
these millions are taken out of
North Dakota for all time. When
the millionaire mail order man
dies, he never leaves mention of
North Dakota or Wahpeton i'm his
will. If he is of public spirited
nature. he may, perhaps. endow
an institution of learning i'm Chi
cago, or he may direct the invest
ment OF large sum in The nature
OF a memorial to himself there.
His heirs will have the same in
terest in Wahpeton that he had
when living-in how much you
VIII contribute to the swelling of
their Golfers. From the Chicago
man you have never received a,
kindly act. You have never grasp
ed him by the hand or had hum
an touch. His philosophy of life
was to- get just as much from you
as he could. in return for lust as
little as. you would accept.
The Other Side Of the Picture
On the other hand, when you
drop into Wahpeton store and
spend a dollar with the local mer-
chant, you have the pleasure of
dealing with a man you know-a
man you like. At the outset. YOU
enjoy the privilege of seeing just
what you buy. You do not have to
guess as to the quality of the
goods. You know just what you
are buying. If you are in doubt
you can have the guarantee of
the local business mana
guaranty that you know is bind
ing and which means you can get
your money back if the goods are
not just as they are represented.
II you buy of the local mer-
chant, your dollar. is not sent
away, but remains at home to-
work for you and the entire COM
munity. It helps pay taxes in the

MUST AVOID DEEP
CULTIVATION OF CORN
Warning Issued BY a. D. .vvilson
Because Of Excessive
Moisture

A. ID. Wilson, director of agri-
cultural extension work at the
University of Minnesota, has is
sued the following warning to all
corn growers:
THE wet weather has made it
unsafe to cultivate corn deeply at
this time, says A. G. Army, of the
Minnesota Experiment Station.
I'm wet weather when the soil
is saturated with moisture there
is scarcity of air for the corn
roots. Consequently they grow
near the surface. Deep cultivation
therefore, after the corn has OBJ
tanned height Of 6 or ! inches,
will destroy the roots, lessen the
moisture supply to plants, and
make them more subject to the
effect of dry weather later i'm the
season. This means loss to the
farmer in any caSe-sometimes
very serious loss.
NO general rule can be given
as to the depth at which to Guilt
waite. as conditions vary in differ
emit parts of the state, and on dit
ferent parts of the same farm, or
even of the same field. but by en-
aiming the root growth in var
ious parts of his corn acreage. a
farmer can determine the depth
at which it is safe to pillow With
the least possible loss to his corn.
and can set his rultivator accord
