The daily papers of recent date
stated that j. Adam Bede the
Minnesota ex-congressman and

in raising hogs. An old-time
friend and former partner of the
editor of the HeraldAdvance,

Patriotic Meeting
Citizens tn Join with &. A. r. n
Celebrating Anniversary OF Lees
Surrender and Fifty Years OF

The 9th of April, being the
5Oth anniversary of the surren-
der of General Lee to General
Grant at Appomatox Court
House, Va, it has been decided
that the day oughtto be fittingly
observed in MilbanB, since this
date marked what was practical
~ the close of the great war Of
the rebellion.
Through the courtesy of Man
ager j. J. Nelson the opera
house has been secured for the
program that has been planned
for the afternoon of the day
from 2:3O to $50. An interesting
patriotic program, consisting of
songs, instrumental music, and
ten minute speeches by members
of G. A. r. Post No. AZ and
others has been arranged. The
schools, the clergy, civic and fra
ternal societies and all patriotic
members of the community are
invited to be present and partici.
pate in the celebration.
The business houses have been
asked to close during the hour of
the exercises at the opera house
in the observance of the day and
all citizens are asked by the conf
mittee to unfurl the stars and
stripes to the breeze.
In these days when the insani-
ty of war has afflicted so large q
part of the world, it is fitting
that we celebrate fifty years of
peace in this country, and foster
that patriotism and love of liber-
ty that will make wars forever
impossible for us.

Dear Sir;-
Your favor of the 23rd. inst. at

ideas OF conditions in Webster under
no license will say that as rule the
business men appear to be we'll salts
fed. Some we're afraid that the loss
OF the license money would be big
drawback and that the city would not
be able to make the necessary lmprOv-
ments, but the facts are that we have
made more than usual, and our city
is in still better financial condition.
We seldom see man under the In
influence OF liquor on the street, and
the moral effect in every way has
been very satisfactory.
1t has been a surprise to the First
National Bank and | believe to the
other banks in the city the way
deposits have held up and obligations
been Ia ken care OF.
know of several instances where
under license men put in their time

| not collect their accounts where now
they pay up the first OF the month.
There is no question IN the minds 81
nearly everyone that | have heard
| express their opinion that Webster
| with full vote out will be no license
by an increased majority. Purely
| from business standpoint | believe
that any city will increase its
| bu -ine-s under no license.
Figures show that the three banks
in Webster are paying for 1914 taxes
| 48. 20 cents more than they paid for
1913 taxes. Bank deposits for
Webster show as follows. Total for

hope that Milbank will go dry
this year. Word from Waubay
would indicate that Waubay will be

was good chance for Aberdeen even
to swing into the dry ranks.

the readings by Leonard Strom-

The following letters written

are absolute evidence from reli-

Dear SIR
Yours of the 23rd to I. r. Meyer
was recei we'd by this Bank and as he
is away the matter did not receive our
to the business advantages of "a dry
town" sounds rather strange at this
stage Of the great wave of temperance
sentiment that is sweeping this coun-
try. As two new banks have been
organized here since license was vot-
ed out in Montevdeo it is difficult to
make an estimate as to deposits of
the numerous banks as compared
with = year ago. but as nearly as can
be ascertained the increase has been a
little over S60, 10000 and we think
this good increase when we know
that nearly Sloo, 900 in deposits were
withdrawn in 1914 in the purchase
Of automobiles. We have collected
some old claims against men who
previous to the banishing of the
saloon spent their money for drink.
Yours truly.
