OLD SETTLERS ] ! HAVE !l|
A HAPPY REUNION
annual Meeting Of County Asso-
citation Closed Last
Thursday
TANY OLD TIMERS THERE
hankinson Entertained tho Maxi
ers Of Nichland Co. In Real
Style

Hankinson had as her guests
last Wednesday and Thursday
the members of the Richland Co.
Old Settlers Association. OF the
total membership of about $50,
scores were present and the chief
regret was the inability of the
others to attend. No attempt was
ever made to put OH. a big clebra-
tion for the pioneers, as the COM
mittee in charge felt that the old
settlers met annually for the pur-
pose of renewing friendships and
discussing the stirring times of
the 7O's and sos, rather than to
be made the center of noisy
celebration. Throughout last
Wednesday and Thursday little
knots of pioneers, most of them
past the meridian of life, could be
seen enjoying each others COM
pany and talking over the old
times. The hospitality of private
homes were offered in many ca
ses, and citizens of Hankinson
appreciated the opportunity to ell
tertain these old time citizens who
first settled Richland county.
The first meeting was held in
the Grove hall last Wednesday
morning at iO:3O, being called to
order by E. L. Kinney, president
of the association. While the
crowd was gathering the band
rendered a couple of selections,
Rev. Maddox of Wyndmere gave
the invocation, which was follow
ed by music by the orchestra.
Mayor Aim delivered an address
of welcome to which E. L. Kinney
responded. Hon. A. G. Divet, who
was on the program for an ad-
dress was called to Montana on
business and could not appear,
but Judge Van Arnam made a
brief talk which was greatly ap-
preciated, especially in view Of
the fact that he is one of the old
est settlers in the county and has
been active fo2 years in the af-
fairs of the association, being the
present secretary. Herman Gold
stein, son of Merchant Goldstein
of Hankinson, delighted the aud
ience with a mastery declama-
tion.
Wednesday afternoon the
members of the association were
guests Of the Hankinson base ball
team at the W-B-Hankinson ball
game.
A large crowd assembled in
the hall at I O'Clock in anticipa-
tion of Senator McCumber's ad-
dress, and for a time it was fear
ed he would not put in a appear
ence. In the morning he had dc .
livered an address to the Ran
som county old settlers at Shell
don and to reach Hankinson a
6O-mile automobile trip was nee
essary. Despite poor roads and
other obstacles, the senator ap-

kindred sports that go together to

Baseball Carnival at Hankinso1
Hankinson will have no formal
Fourth of July celebration this
year, but the base ball boys have
arranged for a carnival Of ball
games and races, sports, fire
works and other attractions on
Saturday, July 3rd. Sisseton, with
one Of the strongest teams in the
northwest, will play ball against
the locals both morning and af-
ternoon. "Cannonball'' Jackson,
one of the star pitchers for the
Affiliations last season, will pitch
for Sisseton in one Of the games.
Sisseton has trimmed all comers
this year except Hankinson, in
cluding Havana and other fast
teams, and two games of the very
best baseball may be looked for.
Geo. RenniX will pitch one of the
games for Hankinson. j.
The program has not been
completed as yet but will include
races of all kinds, novelty con-
tests, fireworks and a big dance
in the evening. An enjoyable time

We don't make this for "Root"
only, but he was the last Offend
er and should, have known better.
For with two men on and only one
out the chance to win the game
was within our grasp. Now let
this happen again and the direc-
tors and Hanagers4sihas act,, or
they should act. ,.i
The boys last Sunday hit the
old pill quite a little better but
they are long ways from being
classed as real hitters, taken as
a whole.

THOSE WHO
WILL CLOSE.
After careful solicitation by tho
Wahpston Times tho Nler.
chants Decided to Close
ON MONDAY, JULY THE 9th
instead Of Saturday a. was Orig
inaily Planned to DO on Behalf
OF Fairmount's Celebration

In making the rounds a Times
representative found out that a
number of the merchants of this
city were not all in accord with
the idea to close on Saturday, in
stead of Paramount on behalf of
Fairmount, who celebrates on
Saturday, the 3rd.
Numerous inquiries by the
merchants and residents at this
office made it necessary for us to
again favor the public by max
ing the rounds and inquiring Of
a number of the merchants just
what day they We're going to close
on. The inquiries proved that the
largest number preferred Monday
and so it will be announced that
Monday is the day when most Of
the merchants of this city will
close their places of business.

4 Queer Spectacle On the
streets of Wahpeton Tuesday af-
ternoon a Mexican was seen to
have had an unusual operation.
He had an operation on his neck
on account of the fact that he
couldn't breathe through his nose
or mouth and had his. wind pipe
cut and a silver tube inserted into
it. He had kind of a value on it
and when closing the pipe could
talk. Several bystanders took a
very good look at it and all said
that they had never seen anything
like it before.

The Anglo-Persian Rug

that we had out in front of our store
on the sidewalk for Is days, has had
a hard test. 1t stood the abuse of Is
days of sunshine, rain and mud that
was cked on it by pedestrians.
This rug is now on display in our
show windows, so you can see that it
does not show wear or fading or rum
ing of colors. Tn isrug we had dry
cleaned and it is in perfect condition.
We hope that you can spare the time
to see it at our store and give it close
examination. This is convincing that
the Whittall Rugs are just what they
are represented to be and that they
are the rug that you should buy.
They are the best rug on the market
today. We want you to see the rug.
Call at the store. This rug was sold
to the highest bidder and belongs to
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Putnam of this
city and will be used in their beauti-
full home on seventh street north.

Four pounds of gold were not so
long ago collected from the SCOT OF
the chimney of the royal mint in
Berlin. So the things accounted vul-
gar are full of the dust of gold, if we
only knew it. We need a quick eye, a
ready mind, to let no chance pass us,
to be taught by everything, improved
by everything. Neglect in this matter
brings into our life heaviness, dull
ness, WEAKNESS, vacancy.
Let us be alive to every wayside
flower in the home, to every flower
that springs amid the rough stones of
business life, to every sweet thing that
blooms in the very dust of the street,
to the teachings, the mercies, the COM
forts, the strengtbSnings of common
days, places, things and people; so
shall we be charmed along life's pill
grimage until we arrive at home.

In one of the industrial towns in
South Wales a workman met with
serious accident. The doctor was sent
for. and came and examined him, had
him bandaged and carried home on
stretcher, seemingly unconscious.
After he was put to,bed the doctor
told his wife to give him siXpenny-

saloon to get a glass of beer. He left
the animal in charge of man out

Hardly had the beer been drawn

Watching the Crowd.

Did you ever watch a crowd? OF
course you did. Everybody does.
Nothing is more Interesting than a
crowd.
But did you ever think how a crowd
appears to different eyes? A pick
pocket will watch it to look for loot.
A newspaper reporter will watch it
for news. A physician will notice the
sick, but not the well. A clergyman
will observe the suffering.
Demagogues are always watching
the crowd and devising the easiest
scheme to fool the people. They have
succeeded wonderfully in doing so in
the past, but all the people cannot be
fooled all the time.-Jasper in Leslie S
Weekly.

THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1918.

Although the retreatng Russian
armies must be considered as yet TO be
virtually intact, the growing impetus
OF the Austro German advance is such
that decisive Russian defeat seems
inevitable, according to military eX-
perts, unless the entente powers in
itiate a powerful diversion on the ltal-
ian or the western front. Some of the.
most conservative British newspapers
assert that this alone can compel Ger
many to Withdraw men from the east
ern theater, barring, perhaps sud
den shortage OF high explosives.
Neither to the north of Lemberg,
Galcia, nor TO the southeast do the
Russians appear to be trying to offer
serious resistance, but unless the APP
proaches to Warsaw are to be left un-
protected, military observers say, the
forces of Grand Duke Nicholas must
soon do some stubborn fighting over
the southern Poland frontier, while his
extreme left in Galicia must match this
in rapid retirement if it is to avoid
critical predicament.
Military writers in Berlin estimate
that in the eight weeks from May >
until June 81 the Germans captured
] $50 Russian officers and ZOO men
and that they also took 800 field guns
ana TO machine guns.

Vienna and Berlin chronicle nothing
but successes for Teuton arms.
