G. W, Martens, the real estate
man, perceived the danger to the
country from race suicide long
before even Roosevelt got anxious
about it, but instead of going in
to the newspapers and alarming
the public, he started in on prac-
tical lines to save the country
And he made good, for he now
has family of eleven children to
rise up and call him blessed, and
forever put to silence any asser-
tion of Roosevelt that democrats
are not good patriots and are not
doing their utmost to build up
the country. Of these eleven
young Martens, none are yet
married, but some of the older
ones have gotten away from the
home nest and are out doing for
themselves, so the first Of the
week they had home coming,
all gathering under the parental
roof, where they had Sunday din
ner together and their picture
taken in a family group. Mr..
Martens wants the world to
know that we raise folks out here
in Dakota as we'll as wheat and
corn.

PLAY BALL
The MethOdists are Carrying of all
the Honors on the Diamond

The ball team organized by the
young Methodists met t h
Methodist team from Big Stone
Thursday Of last week on the
home diamond and after an ex.
citing game, in which an error
or two was made on both sides
and some splendid plays made
by several Of the star members
of the teams. the Milbank aggre-
cation worked their visitors for
8 runs, while Big Stone only
secured 6. The latter team were
not absolutely crushed by the
verdict, but being somewhat in a
vengeful mood they challenged
the victors to a return game on
the Big Stone grounds Thursday
afternoon of this week, when
they threaten to lay out the Mil
bank tossers SO that the latter
won't talk about playing ball
again this summer.
On Tuesday afternoon the
Methodists tackled a nine of rail
road men and laid them out in a
score of 13 TOT. AS this was the
fourth game the Methodists have
played this season, in all of which
they have been victors, their
friends feel that they are getting
a little cocky, and It'll hoped that
something will come along in the
baseball line that will get them
down out Of the air and make it
easier living with them.
This may probably take place
to-day when nine from the pro.
fessional men of the city will
tackle them The profs have
some players who are next to the
real thing as professionals, and
it is expected that the Methodists
will have to do something more
than shouting hallelujah and
amen if they win their game.
There will be an admission
charge to see the sport, the pro-
ceeds of which will be all donat
ed to the Children's home. No
public donation has been made
by Milbank people to the home
this year, and even if you can't
attend the ball game and enjoy
the fun it will be no excuse for
you to refuse to donate a quarter
to this worthy charity.

RI ses. At the conclusion of the
ceremony an elaborate dinner in
courses was served, a number of
the little girl friends of bride and
groom serving the different
courses.
Both bride and groom are we'll
known to Milbank people, the
former being a daughter of Coun-
ty Auditor Ed. Harper, and the
groom being a son of Mrs. Eliza
beth Partridge of this city. They
have both grown up from child
hood in this vicinity, and both are
graduates of the Milbank high
school. A large circle Of friends
unite in rendering congratula-
tiOns and kindest wishes to them
on this happy event.
The newly married couple have
gone east for week or two and
upon their return will make their
home at the Elizabeth Patrid ge

Bum BILE bee Souvenirs for Children

The state fair has a hive full Of
humble bee souvenirs which will
be sent free to all South Dakota
boys and girls who ask for them.
These buzzing curiosities cannot
sting because they have no sting
ers. In fact they can fly only in
circles, not in straight line.
Last year the fair gave the boys
and girls souvenir jumping
horses, for which hundreds of
requests were received each
week. According to Secretary
McIlvaine, the new humble bee
souvenirs are far more fun than
the jumping horses. So get
busy, boys and girls,-send a
postal card right away asking for
these buzzers. just send your
request to e. n. McIlvaine, Sec.
re.ary, Huron, So. Oak.

fortune short time ago, for
while he was standing under a

each within arm S reach, both
dog and horses were killed by

Joe is not going to be killed by
lightning, when it glances off him
like that.
