DEATH CALLS PIONEER

Mrs. John C~ostigan died in Bloom
ington, Illinois, on February 21st, 1917
after a lingering illness of many
months. Last fall she and her hus-
band left the farm in Howell town
ship, this county, and went to the old
home in Bloomington, Illinois, where
Mrs. Costigan entered a hospital for
treatment. She will be buried at
Bloomington, where many of her re-
latives are inferred. She leaves no
family except her husband, John Cost
igan.
The news of her death, while not
unexpected, comes as a shock to this
community. For thirty-four years Mr..
and Mrs. Costigan resided in and took
and active part in the affairs of this
county. Coming to Hand county with
the first rush of settlers to Dakota
territory in 1883 their lives have been
deeply interviewer with the history of
our people. Mr.. Costigan served one
term as sheriff of the county and for
two terms very ably filed the impor-
tant Office of clerk of courts. In
every public or social affair in the
pioneer days OF Miller the deceased
and her husband took a conspicuous
part.
Both before and after serving as
clerk OF courts the family made their
home in Howell township, building nm
and improving two fine farms. DULY
the serious illness of his wife could
drive John away from his beloved
Howell, where he had become almost
as much of a fixtur as Garfield Butte.
Sarah Costigan was born in Kane
county. Illinois. June IA, 1S47. She
John Costigan May Sth, 1872,
and came to Dakota Territory in 1883.
where she resided until a few weeks
before her death.
Her kindly smile, gentle. loving
disposition and great heart built for
a niche in this county's hall of
fame that will be remembered for
many years to come. Blessed with
no children of her own, she was a
mother to all who came under the
protecting folds of her generous. good
She was loved by hundreds.
respected by all. A good wife, a noble
woman, no greater tribute can be paid
her than that.

Mrs. Chris Larson died at her home
on East 3rd street, last Tuesday morn

had been a sufferer for a number of
years. Mr.. and Mrs. Larson came to
Miller about a year ago, where they
built themselves q home, and made
many friends in the community. She
leaves to mourn her loss, two young
children, a boy and a girl, besides her
husband and a brother. The funeral
services were conducted today at the
Methodist church by the pastor, Rev.
K. e Tarleton, and interment made in
the G. A. r. cemetery. The husband

WASTE AND THE .TIGHTwAD,

Minneapolis Journal-A writer in
Bush's Magazine estimates that the
bonuses handed out by American con-
Germs at Christmas and New Years
to their employees, amounted to about
a hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars. He adds that hardly ten per cent
Of this great sum is now in the hands
OF those who received it.
The money was burned up"
thrown away, spent in a riot of Santa
Claus gwgaws and an excess of high
living. These bonuses practically did
no good. They were wasted, instead
OF invested.
Perhaps the most unhappy word we
have coined is that of "tightwad."
Every mar shrinks from the epithet,
fearing lest it be applied to him. OF
all the plans for promoting thrift. few
take account of human pride. Pride
nowadays is leading men to spend
rather than to save. The very words
thrift" Saving" economy" now
carry with them tie mark of the un-
happy word "tightwad.' The writer
who calls attention to the wastage of
a hundred and fifty million dollars in
suggests, rather shrewdly,
instead of urging men to save,
we should urge them to invest"

WHAT ADVERTISING MEANS

Aberdeen American-There are men
In every community who still declare
that advertising does not pay, but IL
is significant that they are rarely the
big. successful ones.
John Wanamaker, who built up a
great retail trade out of newspaper
advertising In Philadelphia and New
York. has turned that force to boost
Ing for newspapers themselves. He
has been running advertising In these
two cities approving the increase in
price of newspapers. He asserts that
for what the purchaser gets it is the
cheapest thing he buys. Then he
goes on and discusses the value of
advertising as follows:
There are lots OF unthinking peo-
pie who say, Il don't believe in ad-
vertising and I never read it. Yet
the fact remains that but for the rev.
enue to the newspapers from adver-
Using their price would go up per-
manently TO ten cents or
Whats the use OF advertising,
anyhow" you often hear said.
81 Well, to begin with. everybody
saves eight cents on every paper ne
buys.
=. The daily business OF a city Is
best shown by its newspaper adver-
Using.
-. Every day something is want
ed by somebody and how much trou-
bic It saves In finding It through the
advertisements.
Take, for instance. the one arti-
Gle OF automobiles in which every
body y interested. How much OF the
knowledge that the people want they
would miss but for the automobile
ad~yertising!"

OUR FLAG; WHAT is 1T?

II is the emblem Of the free,
The glorious Stripes and stars;
1t is, as 1t was meant to be,
Freedom from tyrants' wars.
1T is the poor mans hope, a land
Where love may fearless shine;
1t is indeed a helping hand,
An aid to all who climb.
II is the blood brought victory
That we hold ever dear;
1t Is the right to liberty
Without the cringe of fear.
II is a ray OF brightest hope
In this worlds weary pain;
II is the joyous golden rope
That binds all in loves chain.
1t Is, our hearts sing out in Joy,
Our heritage of love;
II Is what we may all enjoy.
And let our actions prove.
II is the hope of all the world,
This flower Of liberty;
1t is, wherever it's unfurled.
The emblem of the free.
II is the sunshine's rosy hue
And purity's clear white;
1t is the blending of these two
That gives the world its light.
II Is the vault of heavens blue
Wherein the sisters shine;
II Is to loyal hearts and true
A memory divine.
1t Is. glad hearts with Joy attune
Sing out for all to hear,
1t is a nations sweet perfume
To all the world made dear.
1t Is DER all the world to wave
When wars drear reign is through
1t is the hope Of all the brave,
