olvio TEA At alERoMANrs

The event of the week was the
Civic Tea given at the Merchants
Hotel on Saturday last. Through
the generosity and able manage
ment Of Mr.. Milton, the hotel was
in perfect order and turned over
umreservedly for the use of the
committee. Dainty refreshments
were served in the dining room
from two to five O'Clock by mem
bers of the Woman's Literary
Club.
Through the kindness of Mr..
Burnson music was furnished by
a Victrola. It was enjoyed by the
guests and greatly appreciated by
the committee.
The registration book and cash
register were presided over by
members of the club. The recep-
tion committee were assisted by
Mesdames Fligelman, Lane, ST.
monsen, w. A. Farnsworth, Ma
han and Connolly. One hundred
eighty-six names were registered; |;
many, however, not availing
themselves of the opportunity.
Many opinions were given and
suggestions made in regard to
civic work, the largest number
being in favor of the extermina-
tion of the weeds. Many good
ones were offered, but, unfortu-
nately, were far beyond anything
that can be done for some time.
For lack of funds the committee
will be obliged Ito make haste
slowly" However, the majority of
those registering were for practi-
cal owrk, and were so enthusias-
tic about it that it virtually de-
notes the methods to be used for
the present: first, clean up. make
our streets and premises present.
able; afterwards do all we can to
heautify. In the cleaning-up pro-
cess every Gu. can help, and thls
enable the committee to progress
more rapidly in their work. Mayor
Fllgelman was Present and gave
great encouragement by his pre-
sence and suggestions, and by a
very generous offer which will be
noted elsewhere.
Other social affairs will pro-
badly be given in the future at the
hotel. Mr.. Milton is an ardent
supporter of civic improvement,
ayld il giving substantial proof
of IT. The committee hope to have
eve, greater success at their fu-
ture entertainments.

CALLED AWAY
IN HER YOUTH
Another Sad Death Among tho
Bright Young People Of
Wahpeton
BLANORA HlfERLlk PASSES
On tho Eve Of Graduation from
tho Nigh School Of This
City

That one so young, and who had
striven so hard to prepare herself
for the duties of life should have
been called away just before COM
pleting her preparatory work is
one of those things that is hard
to understand. Yet so it was with
Elanora Hamerlik, one of the
High School seniors of this city
last week.
She was taken suddenly and
very seriously ill two weeks ago
Tuesday with an acute form of
appendicitis and the following
Sunday she was taken to a local
hospital, where everything was
done that could be done to save
her life and restore. her to her
friends, but to no avail. She pass
ed away last Wednesday evening
at about Z o'clock, and her fun
eral took place from st. Adal-
bert's church at 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning, and was in charge
of Rev. FIR. Gaydusek. Interment
was made in Calvary cemetery.
The pail bearers were Clifford
Braun, Edward Marsh, Albert Ba-
der, Ernest Weling, Fred Forma-
mex and Lewis Ujka. The floral
offerings were many and beauti-
full, and the services were largely
attended by her schoolmates and
many other friends. Among those
present were Frank and Miss An
ma Hamerlik, brother and sister
from Pisek; Mrs. Chas. Walters,
a sister residing at Minneapolis
John Hamerlik, brother OF
Crookston, Minn., and his wife,
and also her sister Miss Chris
tine Hamerlik, who is teaching al
Stirum.
Elanora Hamerlik was prepar-
ing for graduation from the High
school of this city at the ap-
preaching commencement, and
stood we'll in her class. She was
also a member of the choir at St.
Adalberts and a very popular
young lady. She was 18 years OF
age, and the youngest of family
of eight children.

FIRE DAMAGE NOT AS
BAD As FIRST REPORTED

Bismarck, N. D., April a.
DR.. A. MEG. Beede, Episcopal mis-
sionary at the Standing Rock res
ervation, reports that the prairie
fire damage was not as great as
vas at first reported in the fires
that swept portions Of Morton
county.
The fire that occurred in the
vicinity Of Steele in Kidder coun-
ty, did considerable damage,
though not as much as was at
first reported according to more
authentic information coming in
later from the scene of the con-
flagration.
So far as could be learned the
total buildings destroyed amount
ed to three barns and one house.
a good deal of hay was burned in
the fire. The buildings reported
lost was a barn of Foy Harris,
who lives twelve miles southeast
OF Steele, house and barn belong
ing to a man by the name of
Husky.
u Besides the three men reported
burned on Saturday, one of whom
Robert Fuller, died, another man
in the path of the confagration is
said to have been quite badly in
Jured. He is Lon Harris.
In the fire in the Hazen vicinity
on Saturday, the blaze burned ov-
er a territory about twenty miles
in length. In this fire a barn with
several head of horses was burn
ed on the Jack Mclaughlin farm
and q house and barn on the Sol
Richter farm were destroyed.
James Larguist was badly burned
about the face according to late
reports.

MONTANA Boom PREDICTED

That western Montana is due
for a boom not exceeded by the
oil field rush in Oklahoma is the
assertion of local men who have
studied the oil and gas prospects.
Glendive is less than 400 miles
south of the Bow island and Med
icine Hat wells which supply CAL
gary gas. and it is asserted that
the same strain exists in this Sec
tion.
In dozens of places near here,
men are now drilling for gas and
oil, urged on by the fact that two
gas wells at Havre are producing
100000 and 100000 feet a
day.

Dear SIR
Since writing to you two weeks
ago we have visited many points
of interest from a historical point
of view, for this locality marks
the beginning of civilization in
California. Besides, on account of
the excellent harbor and the cli-
mate, some special government
work is carried on.
For instance, we took boat
and visited the government avia-
ton field on North Island. There
are 1876 enlisted men,. 20 officers
Is aeroplanes in operation, and
one hydro-aeroplane. From 9 to
12 in the morning, one can see
air-men sailing about like birds.
We passed the gun boat Colorado,
lying at anchor, but they were
coaling, and we could not enter.
We also visited Fort Rosecrans,
which guards the entrance to the
harbor. There we saw the ten
inch, disappearing guns, and were
shown all that visitors are allow
ed to see. ).
A few days ago we drove down
to the Mexican village of III Jnana.
We did not go into the village,
but crossed the line and came
within a short distance of the
town. OF course we had our pic
lures taken ON the international
boundary line.
Yesterday we paid a visit to the
historic old place which is known
as Old Town. Here the first white
settlement was established in 1 i76g
by the Catholic missionaries.
There we saw the original mis-
sion, now encased in frame to pro-
tect the old adobe. walls, the old
mission bells, the first palm tree
|planted in California in 1869, and
so on. We also visited Romona's s
marriage place, one of the old
mission compounds, built in 1925,
and which is the scene of the
story as told by Helen Hunt jack
son. 1t goes without saying that
admission is. charged to the build
ing; and, once in, there are a
thousand and one relics and near
relics for sale. In fact, l never
saw a place where climate and
historic incidents are so greatly
capitalized in order to separate
tourists from their money. On
Sunday bus driver was very anx-
ious to take us over to a Mexican
bull-fight in III Juana.
We have thoroughly enjoyed
our visit so far; but, while we are
enjoying it, we will be ready to
return to Wahpeton when the time
comes. The climate here is fine,
if one does not care for extremes
but, if one wishes to enjoy the
luxury of throwing a snow ball, it
is necessary to climb the noun
tains.

Closing Scenes

HE Medina Sentinel believes in sticking to home mer
chants and in view of this fact it proposes to wage
vigorous educational campaign against mail order houses
for the next year upon the grounds that mail order houses
do nothing to maintain schools churches good roads
or help the SICK the needy, and hundred and other
things that Medina county merchants have to bear
The habit (because it is habit pure and smple) Of
buying Of mail order houses is formed the theory that
one can buy for less money The idea is erroneous
Esops tables, ID the long buy few things
cheaper 0 mail order houses than he buy at home
they few and it is welown fact that quality is not
really expected from the faro stores of Chicago New
York Or Philadelphia Ninety times out Of hundred the
sames goods could be bought Of the HOME MERCHANT
FOR THE SAME MONEY AND OFTENTIMES LESS
MONEY IF YOU GAVE THE LOCAL MERCHANT A
CHANCE to figure with you
Take this joke Of grocery order which is being So
cited broadcast nowadays by certain mail order house
They tell you they will sell you 100 pounds of sugar at
saving of onehaf cent pound you will give THEM AN
ORDER OF $40 for other STUFF They proceed then to
load you up with Spices pepper baking powders, cond
men etc. enough to last average housewife ten years.
and upon which there profit large that the whole
bill they make in the neghborhood Of $500 NOW ANY
GROCERYMAN IN MEDINA COUNTY would be tckled to
death to sell you the kind Of order WITH THE
CASH LAID DOWN ON THE COUNTER FOR HIM, as
you have to do with the mail order house.
It is the same way with clothing hardware, drugs,
furniture millinery Shoes tnware with everything So
would it not be good plan for you to STOP AND THINK
NVESTIGATE-befo you send your money away, never
to be returned and give the merchant chance WHO WILL
TRUST YOU WHEN YOU ARE SICK HELPS PAY FOR
YOUR SCHOOLS, HELPS PAY YOUR MINISTERS,
HELPS KEEP UP YOUR GOOD ROADS, etc.?
In order that you may INVESTIGATE, the Sentinel in

/ DAWES oF EASTER

E,.ster was not kept as q festival
until the fifth or sixth century, but
previous to that the question Of es-
tablishing it as a feast day came be-
fore the council Of Nice, when it was
decided authoritatively that Easter
was henceforth to be Sunday follow
ing the fourteenth day Of the calendar
moon which happened upon or next
after the 21st Of March, so that if
this fourteenth day be a Sunday, Eas-
ter day, therefore, may be on any day
within Ave weeks inclusive Of March
20 and April rs. It cannot happen
earlier nor later than these two dates.
In 1883, Easter occurred on March 20,
and again in 1894, which will be twice
in. the present century. In 1851 It
will occur again on March 25.

A SHAME TO TELL IT

While Sheriff Gehman was peace
fully snoozing on Thursday night Of
last week, his telephone bell rang and
he was frantically urged to come to
the James ,Lampson home on West
Liberty street and arrest a gang Of
bandits who, it was stated, were Great
ing a great disturbance and doubtless
about to enter the Lampson home and
devour the occupants feathers, bones
and all. A half hour before, the
sheriff had been aroused by the ring
ing of the fire bell for fire that had
broken out at the home of Ed. Maple,
near neighbor of the Lampsons, and
to which the local department had re-
sponded. Gehman, with a voice Of
true pity, then told Jimmie" that il
he would peer from behind his curtain
he would behold an aggregation Of old
friends extinguishing the burning
home of his neighbor only few feet
away. The conversation ended abrupt.
nv right then, the sheriff returning to
bed with a smile that refused to be
altered, while Jimmie" stood trans
fixed, wondering whether to have been
killed outright would have been any
more painful than the chagrin which
at that moment was burdening his
heart. f.
