Brown County Does II up Brown

The continual soliciting for in
dividual subscriptions for the red
cross is becoming more or less a
burden to those who have to keep
up the funds for the work, and those
who willingly and cheer fully give
are burdened with a portion that
should come from others. The
county of Brown in this state has
come to the rescue of its people in
this matter, and has appropriated
SIS, 900 to finance the red cross in
that county. The Aberdeen News
says Of this:
Brown county set the pace for
South Dakota when its commission
ers on Tuesday afternoon voted the
local chapter SIS, 900 with which
to finance its organization activi-
ties during the coming year, and
incidentally proved itself 100 per
cent Red Cross patriots. The coun-
ty commissioners in accepting the
proposition of the local committee
said: I'VE accept the proposition
Of SIS. 900, $4,000 of which is
available within there months and
the balance at the rate of Sis, 600
in advance quarterly.

Death Of 5, X. Johnston.

Stephen Killen Johnston was born
near Mt. Jefferson, Shelby county,
Ohio. + eb. 2l, lS43. Died at his
home, May Z, 1918, near Twin
Brooks, in his 10th year.
He came west at the c.ose of the
civil war, returning to Ohio, 1871,
where he was married to Kate Her
shey, who died Nov. 80, 1874. In
September 1877 he was married to
Eliza Buey. Their married life
was brief. being cut short by her
untimely death in 1880. Novem-
ber IL, 1884 he was married to FL
la Wicks, at Twin Brooks. Three
children. Maude Emily, Robert
Wicks, and Frank Lyle were born to
them, and they with their mother
survive him.
Mr.. Johnston was among the
early settlers in this region. His
farm today expresses the character
Of the man; careful Of details, a
love of the beautiful and delight
in usefulness.
For several years he was active
in the local U. B. church, until the
associates of former years had died
or moved away.
He will be sadly missed from the
life Of the community, where he
was always ready to serve the pub
lie interest. He was kind and de-
voted in all his life. His friends
and loved ones rejoice in the record
of his quiet useful life. The fIner-
al service was conducted at the
home by Rev. Buriff, of the M. E.
church at Milbank, on Thursday af-
ternoon, May 9th. Interment in
the Milbank cemetery.

RED CROSS AUCTION
A Big Success Nearly $500 for
this Great War Charity

A fine day was handed us by the
weather man for the great red cross
auction sale, which took place last
Saturday, and this city. The La
bolt band had been secured for the
occasion, and the sale was preced-
ed by some good band music, which
helped to stir things up for the big
sale. A large platform had been
erected in the street in front of the
Farley Hardware store and the un-
occupied Leach store, and the lat
ter was used for store house and
for dining room, where the Relief
Corps served a six O'Clock dinner to
the public.
The large quantity of goods
that were brought in necessitated a
continuous sale, four auctioneers
being engaged in the work, two at
a time at the two ends Of the plat
form. These men had a strenuous
time Of it, and when it is considt r.
ed that they donated their serS :es
to the cause and kept the work up
until midnight they are certainly
entitled to the fullest praise. The
auctioneers, were Messrs. Burt ard
Frank Jones of Revillo, Lee Ans
den and E. 7. German of this city,
and gentleman from abroad.
Among the more notable sales
made was the autographed photo
graph Of President Wilson, which
was bid up to $1O0, and secured by
Geo. Burke OF the St. Hubert hotel
Attorney Geo. Rix bid in the flag
that was donated by Gov. Norbeck,
at $35.
A couple Of dolls. which we're bid
in and sold more than a dozen
times brought 500 on the success
sive sales, and couple Of cakes
which went through the same pro-
ess brought in s65. One of the
cakes being cut up and sold for
a dollar slice.
The Ford automobile on which
tickets had been sold brought in
S1484, for which $l,O32 80 was
clear after cost was deducted.
The auto was secured by Mr.. Ar
chic Templeton, Of Grant Center
wko donated 500 to the red cross
in recognition Of his good luck.
The lot donations netted S239,
and the sales of preserves and cakes
brought $113.

The Children in the War Garden
Club have made a fine start in the
seasons work. A large number Of
home gardens have been planted.
Mr.. Ed. Hublou of this city kindly
gave the children the use of his newly
purchased lot in the Paul kohler Ad-
dition. This land has been divided
of and put into chidren's gardens.
Part of the Red Cross lot has been
used for the same purpose. This IS
due to the generosity OF the Red Cross
Society and the new owner OF the lot.
No doubt more space will be- used
later for tomatoes, etc. The special
instruction in gardening and canning
as provided by the Civil and school
authorities in Milbank should prove
q coed investment from every point
of view these war times.
