HURLEY OBSERVES
MEMORIAL DAY
Large Number of People Here to
Take Part in the Services

lake FarC IN tRe services
One of the largest crowds ever
seen here on Memorial Day assem-
bled last Tuesday to take part in the
G. A. R. exercises, The day could
not have been more pleasant If the
weather had been made to order
the sun shone brightly and there was
just breeze enough to keep the air
from being sultry. Such splendid
weather was something out of the
ordinary for Memorial Day and
made it possible for everything to
take place exactly as previously
planned.
The parade which formed on the
Meat Market corner at about 1:30
o'clock was larger than of former
years and in addition to the usual
participants the Hurley company of
the National Guards took their place
in the line.
The program altogether was one
of the best that we have ever listened
to and reflected much credit on the
tireless efforts of Com. Carr in look
ing after the planning and arranging
of same.
The orator Of the day, DR.. Perisho
of Brookings College, was listened
to by large and attentive audience.
His remarks on Patriotism" show
ed that he thoroughly under rstood
the subject and had given it much
thought and consideration and his
ideas were favorably received by the
majority of his listeners. Although
the crowd was large and the speech
was given in the open air, the speak
er's voice carried well and he could
be heard by all. DIR. Perisho is a deep
thinker and has a most interesting
way of presenting his ideas, SO that
he holds the attention of his audi
ence seemingly without. effort. He
is one Of the most able public
speakers in the state. and Hurley
people were glad of this oppor-
tunity to hear him.
Another feature of the day which
brought forth many complimentary
remarks was the performance of
the juvenile band. Considering their
age and the short time they have
been under the tutorship their work
is truly wonderful.
Space does not permit a detailed
mention of each number on the pro-
gram, but. as before stated, each
and every one was excellent, the
true spirit of the day was in eyi-
dence and the &. A. f. may feel that
the memorial day just past was one
of the greatest ever observed in

but is composed of young people of exs
ceptional ability, and they each have
promising future.
The chief speaker of the evening
was DR.. Warren, president of YanE-
ton College. His address was a prac-
tical discourse to young men and wo-
men, and also to the fathers and moth
ers of our land. His words left a
lasting impression upon the class, and
upon the audience.
The class of 1916 deserves the COM
nnendation of all, and the best wishes
of Hurley goes with each graduate as
they enter their respective fields the
looming year.

to divide up what there is with all
the people of the world, and famines
are almost unknown. Illinois, which
normally has wheat TO sell, has pro-
duced this year 100000 bushels
less than she will need for her own
stomach, but not only will there be
no famine on this account in Illinois,
but the people there would not know
they were importing wheat from
other states. Wheat is no dearer in
Illinois, where the crop failed, nor
in New York, where it is never ade-
quate, than in Kansas or Nebraska,
where the big surplus was made this
year. And that is what railroad
transportation means to modern so
ciety. The cost of transportation in
the price of loaf of bread is so
slight that you could not compute 1T
statistically; you could not taste it
even. But if it were not for the
transportation you would have to
stop living in cities and states that
import their food from distant
places.
