Reminder Of an Old ENTERPRISE.

Justice A. j. Bleser while clean
ing out some old pigeon holes in
his office last week ran across a re-
minder Of one Of the old-tjme en-
terprises Of Milbank in the form of
a letter from a French farmer in
France. The letter was written in
1890, and referred to some Russian
white oats, raised by Mr.. @. w.
Hoyt on his farm here. The oats
had been collected for and were on
exhibition at the Milbank street
fair, and by request had been sent
on to Chicago for exhibition in a
fair in that city, and from there
had been sent to the Paris exposi-
ton, where the French farmer saw
the oats and wrote a letter request
ing Mr.. Hoyt to send him some of
the oats for seed in France. We
understand Mr.. Hoyt sent several
bushels of the oats as requested.
and later received acknowledge
ment Of the receipt Of the oats and
payment for same. The letter,
which was written in French was
testimonial Of the far-reaching
effects which the street fairs of
those days had in advertising the
connfv.

Missionary Society Notes.

The Womans 8 Foreign Mission
ary Society of the Methodist church
met Feb. l at the home Of Mrs. ].
A. Fuller. Devotional service was
led by Mrs. Kyrk. by having each
one present read verses Of scrip
ture on prayer and praise. The
president took up the business part
of the meeting, after which the
prayer and praise service for the
afternoon was taken up by Mrs.
Stafford. The thought was, to
pray for . broader vision Of the
work; also to keep in closer touch
with our Missionaries.
A leaflet was read, te ling about
the work Of Miss Flora Robinson,
for this year. Intercession was
held for our missionaries in the
different foreign fields. The 4th
chapter Of Under the Crescent and
Among the Kralls. was read before
adjourning.

II Lincoln Spoke at Gettysburg to.
day!

Seve score and one years
ago our fathers brought forth on
this continent a new nation, con-
ceived in liberty, and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Nov we are engaged in a great
world war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived
and 50 dedicated, can long endure.
We are met to face the crises of
that war. We have come to dedi-
cate the best of our substance and
to offer the lives of our sons in or
der that democracy may live. It
is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this.
But, in a large sense. we can
not dedicate-we cannot consecrate
we cannot hallow these gifts.
The brave men, living and dead.
in far.fung battle line or on the
ocean wave. under foreign flags or
meath the Stars and Stripes, who
fight to-day for democracy. truth
and freedom, have consecrated our
gifts far above our poor power to
add or detract. The world will
little note nor long remember what
we say here, but it can never for
get what men are fighting for and
dying for to-day.
1t is for us, the living, rather,
to be dedicated here to the unfin-
ished work which freemen of all
the ages have thus far so nobly ad-
vanced. 1t is rather for US to be
dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us-that from our hon.
ored dead and the heroic living we
take increased devotion to that
cause for which they give the last
full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that myraid
lives shall not be sacrificed in vain;
that this nation, and every nation,
under God, shall have a new birth
Of freedom; and that government
Of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from
the earth. Ernest Bourner Al
len, in Toledo Blade.

Boy Scouts.

At the anniversary meeting of
the boy scouts last Friday evening
quite number of the parents and
friends of the boys were present,
and the subject Of organizing an
other patrol Of scouts was discus
sed. The one difficulty looming
up was to secure scout master
for the new patrol, as there didn't
seem to be another Harry Pawson
in town. On account of the fact
that the war has taken about half
of the scout masters who were act
ing throughout the country there
is dearth of scout masters all
over. While scouting is net MILL
tary in its character, the fact that
fifty per cent Of former scouts are
in the army today, indicates that
the organization tends to patriot
ism. President Wilson has been
so we'll pleased with the work of
the scouts in helping win the war
he has requested that an effort be
made to organize more fully all the
boys Of the country.
The local patrol is expected to
raise $45.0O for the national or
ganization, and some of the friends
of the boys are going to collect
this for them during the week.
This will tide them over financially
on the war pressure for three years.

Women Register

Last Saturday the registration of
the women of the county was inau-
gurated. and 50 me 235 names were
registeredin the city. The registra-
tion books will be kept open so that
any woman desiring to register
may do 80. The misapprehension
that some people have relative to
the registtraon Of women for war
service is astonishing, and is best
told in m incident that happened
the other day at Sioux Falls when
. patriotic farmer accosted one of
the registrars. The Sioux Falls
Press tells about it in the follow
ing:
II have all my affairs arranged
to 60 when my country needs me,
but you must not take mother from
the babies,' was the surprising
remark which one patriotic farmer
addressed to a worker for the wo.
mems committee Of the council of
national defense, when she c.lled
at their home to procure the regis
tration Of the wife, and which
shows the misunderstanding which
current in many districts in regard
to registration of women for war
service. Many have the impression
said . worker yesterday afternoon.
that the registration of women is to
act in similar way with the selec-
tive service for the men, and that
the registration Of the women and
the service which they are to offer
is to be compulsory The registra-
tion is purely voluntary. the pur-
pose being to secure an official rec
ord Of the woman power of the
country, so that in case Of an emer-
gency the government may know
where to turn for any needed SER
vice.
Even though a woman offers her
services when she registers she will
not be required to give that SER
vice If her circumstances have
changed when she is asked to serve.
and is then unable to fill her pro-
mise. The registration is not de-
signed to take omen from their
homes, unless they are willing and
able to serve away from them. The
fact that England has taken on reg
istration of the women power and
that France and Canada are now
engaged is in such a registration
would prove that the three years
have found it necessary to know
definitely what they may call upon
the women to do. We feel there
fore that no further arguments for
registration are necessary

HELL" MOrqan's Girl
A San Francisco Earthquake Story
Picture, at Bentley Grand Wed
nesday Evening, Feb. 20.

When Oliver Curwell disowned
his son Roger because the boy de-
clined to abandon art and go into
business with his father, Roger fell
into dissolute habits, going from
bad to worse until he was human
derelict wandering around the
streets Of San Francisco. In his
student days girl of the same
name of Olga had shown selfish in
terest in him believing he would
inherit his fathers millions, but
when Oliver was cast out by his
father. the girl abandoned her pre-
tense of affection.
One evening Roger wanders into
Sailors Rest" a saloon and dance
hall run by Help Morgan. That
very day Morgan had hung behind
his bar work of art which the
bleary-eyed Roger denounced as
a "daub. Morgan resented this
remark. and had pretty we'll beaten
up young Curwell when Lola Nor
gan, the apple of Hell" Nor
gan's eye, rushed to the scene and
saved Rogers life by her interfer-
ence. Morgan's daughter contin-
ued to befriend Roger and prevail
ed, finally, upon her father to give
young Curwell the job of playing
for the "speiler's' in the dance
hall.
Eventually Roger started to
paint portrait Of Lola, and love
finally entered their hearts. To all
this Sleter, a tough politian. OBJ
jected, for the reason that he covet
ed Morgan's daughter and wanted
to be cher man. Thus matters
rest when Olga from the artists
quarters, leads party of friends
to Sailors Rest, on Summing
tour. There she sees Roger at the
piano and sends for him-her in
terest having been re-created by
the fact that she had read in the
newspapers of the sudden death Of
Oliver CurWell, who had willed his
millions to his son. Roger joins
Olga's party, and the old davs are
revived. Lola sees the incident,
and as a result in a jealous retail
iation, resigns herself to the over
joyed Sleter. But when Sleter at
temps to collect his reward, Lola
rebels and she physically resists his
advances. The tumult attracts the
attention Of her father who dashes
upstairs, and in an encounter W tn
Sleter, is shot and mortally wound
ed Lola drives Sleter from the
room and drags her father down
the fire escape.
Hardly have they reached the
ground when the terrors of San
Francisco earthquake and fire break
loose. Carrying her father to
where refug es are assembling, she
seeks doctor.
Rogers had been drawn back to
Sailors Rest, by the love of Lola
and when he finds the place mass
of ruins, he likewise wends his way
to Presidio, where the Morgan's 8
are housed. Fate brings the fond
hearts together and Lola and Roger
are reunited at the moment Hell"
Morgan dies. At the Bentley
Grand, Wednesday evening. Febru-
ary 20. Don't miss it.
