tcises she was looked to as q leader in
preparing the programs. In the years
when the G A. r. held annual en-
campments here she was leader in
preparing the programs for the enter
tainment Of the guests. These vari-
GUS activities, together with . cheer
full, pleasant personality, and pro-
verbal hospitality in her home which
80 many Of US have enjoyed, endeared
her to the people Of Scotland.
It has been said that He who
would have his name endure must
write it on the hearts Of men," Mrs.
Dollard needs no monument in the
Scotland cemetery for she has written
her name on the hearts Of the people
where it will long endure.
1t is said that the civilization of
community can be judged by the
care that it takes Of its cemetery. 1t
is largely due to the efforts Of Mrs.
Dollard that Scotland today Possesses
such a beautiful cemetery. It was
through her efforts that it is edorned
by beautiful shade trees, and, Is sur
rounded by neat iron fence. Now
that her work 10 finished it is crafty
ing to know that she will sleep in
those grounds made beautiful through
her efforts, and that she will rest
amid the scenes and among the friends
that in life she loved 80 well.

(Mrs. w. d. Griniths, sioux Falls,:


In thinking over my recollections of
Mrs. Dollard. find them conferred
about her patriotism and it is to that
/ wish to pay tribute.
Placed in frontier community
among people Of. alien birth, che saw
the need and seized the opportunity
to teach the rudiments of patriotism
to the children, otherwise untaught.
Long before the public schools in gen.
eral taught the children to salute the
flag, Mrs. Dollard was instilling a
respect and reverence for the emblem
of Democracy Hers was the vision
to see the need of the coming genera
ton; to do in advance what the edu-
Gators of today are advocating.
can pay no greater tribute to the
memory Of Mrs. Dollard than that
which wrote her in my Chistmas
Greetings Of last year, when said /
thought she must be very proud of the
large number of Scotland boys who
enlisted. many of whom she had first
taught to love and respect their coun-
try's flag and reverence the men who
gave their lives for it.
There were times when as young
folks we may not have appreciated the
educational value of Mrs. Dollard's
patriotic celebrations. But the time
has come when we can all see the
benefits. when love Of Country means
what it never did before. and the
sparks she helped to kindle have blaz-
ed into a glorious Same of patriotism.
May we all, like Mrs. Dollard, keep
the glow always and forever in our
hearts.

WHAT TIE VICTORY on

Germany's victory would mean MI
that the alarmists have said the set
back Of humanity. democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights OF man, etc. But. to Amer
lea, 1t would mean infinitely more.
It would mean our first national de-
feat and, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for Victories record as
old as our nation record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains It's

calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph Thus, the moral tone Of the In
dividual, as well as of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked in
war Of conquest. From 1875 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
| for Union or for the Oppressed
| for some sterling principle OF right.
From childhood we have been taught
| to believe that the high unselhshness
Of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and. nations that have
battled for dominion as Germany is
now battling. Should We fail In this.
our mightiest war for the Right, the.
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear.
icountry from nothingness to fts pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice is
hundredfold justified.

that the name Of Major Dollard and
Mrs. Dollard will live as long as the
State of South Dakota lives.
They have endeared Themselves to
the people of this state by their use-
fulness, their work, their life, their
stability, their sacrifices, and their
names will be written in the history
of this state in the past and in the
future as long as the state shall live.
1t was my pleasure and my priv.
lege to be a co-worker with Major
Dollard and wife, who was always
present during all of our visits while
at Pierre; our relations and friendship
date from the earliest days. ! think
my residence here antedated the Doll
lards', but from the beginning we
were the best of friends, and our fam
lilies have always held the same re-
lation, which was one Of the greatest
friendship. 9
Major Dollard and wife formed
may lasting friendships throughout
the entire state, they won the friend
ship Of the people of Springfield. and
these people today pay their last res
poets to either or both.
May say in closing that | am very
sorry that Judge Wicks rs not here

much more satisfying to you thar
mine have done, for he was more in.

that the name Dollard will always b
q bright and shining memory in thu
history of the state.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-05-16

and if that memory brings to our rec
objection long years of pleasant and
happy associations it is something of
a consolation even in the hour of final
parting. The people of Scotland who
had the privilege of living and associ-
ating with Mrs. Dollard during pc.
Rod OF nearly thirty years, have that
consolation today.
She came here with her husband
in the early days, the pioneer days of
this community. She found society
made up of people coming from all
parts Of the world. They had brought
with them various social customs
and various ideals, and to mold these
various customs into harmonious So
cial structure required skill and tact.
In this work Mrs. Dollard found a
field of usefulness. She was intense
ly American in her sentiments, and in
her social work she always endeavored
to stimulate American ideals.
Her first public service was per-
formed as teacher in our public
schools, one Of the grandest places to
lay the foundation for social service.
In this position she gained the conf
dence Of the young people, conf
dence that she retained as long as she
lived. ,>She was always active in ev-
cry line Of service for the benefit OF
the community.
She recognized that one of the
strongest influences in molding char
acter. was good reading. The people
who had come here were many Of
them poor, and few of them were pro-
vided with good family Libraries. To
meet this deficiency che organized q
public library. procuring the books
from the proceeds of public entertain
ments given by local talent. In this
way she was able not only to furnish
the people good, well selected reading
matter but was able to develop the
talents of the young people who took
part in her entertainments, a work
that she was eminently fitted to per-
form.
She was always active in all patri-
otto movements. In Fourth Of July

am very glad, indeed. for the
privilege Of saying very few words
on this memorial occasion. and in
memory of our departed friend. Mrs.
Robert Dollard, of whom it may we'll
be said, that she was zone Of Ma
lures noble women.
Whether in the sod.shanty on the
claim in Douglas county, in the early
territorial days. where she braved
periis and dangers. or in her home in
Scotland, where. she lived for many
years, or in the coy cottage in Santa
Monica, California, she was the same
womanly woman, and filled the niche
in which she was placed with the fin-
est qualities with which she .was en-
lowed, and with that higher quality
called womanhood; she seemed to be
happy in making the best use Of these
gifts through all her life.
Never forgetting or neglecting her
home duties, she still had, time to as
sist and lead in other useful occupa-
tions in life. In all the social ac-
tivities Of the community she was an
efficient and tireless worker; in eerv-
ing in the w. C. 7. u, the Temper.
ance movement. the Relief Corps. and
other organizations. she put forth her
best efforts and ability, leaving them
all richer for her wonderful PERSONAL
|ity and faitnfulness. II might we'll
be said. that she has not left us, il
Thousands praise and love her.
The last time met Mrs. Dollard
was in her home in Santa Monica,
California. and during that visit she

henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit that
they rest from their labours; and their
works do follow them. y This is the

sic slumbers not in the harps Of earth.

life of our loved friend is not closed

Of God. -
Look with me on the pages of
memory some twenty three years and
note some Of the ministries of her
love and devotion. See how she gave
earnest care and love to the little boy
whom she loved as her very own. The
interest she took in his short >school
life should be an inspiration to other
true mothers.
1 did not know Mrs. Dollard as a
teacher as do many Of the Older, resi-
dents of Scotland. but knew her as
the teachers true friend. One who
took an active interest in all lines Of
educational work. One whose home
was opened to the teachers in many
pleasant social events.
Mrs Dollard stood for temperance,
for freedom Of the ballot for all, and
for advancement along all lines. She
was always busy getting up some er,-
tertainment to help the young and for
the betterment of the city.
Mrs. Dollard was ons whom you
were happy to have in your social
gatherings. for she brought life and
cheer. I remember how sweetly her
voice rang out d she sang at father
and mothers golden anniversary.
Then, too, what welcome visitor
was she at the bedside Of the sick and
suffering. She brought cheer and
comfort. always giving : word Of love
and praise. e
No. such q life ends not. We are
too prone to think Of Death a. the
ending. but rather lei a. think Of
Life as beginning. We think Of

think of parting. Oh, let us think Of

AMBASSADOR GERARD CALLS
KAISER'S BLUFF.

What the Germans did to Belgium
and to Northern France is shown
with marvelius and realistic fidelity
to fact. Ambassador Gerard's visits
to the German prison camps are also
pictured in a manner that leaves no
doubt that he was equal to many try
ing occasions. Il is the kind OF pie
ture that will awaken many to the
realization Of what has gone on and
ia going on, and how the German ma
chine works.
Contrary. to expectations, the pic
ture does not end when Mr.. Gerard
ia handed his passports. after having
told a pompOus German official tnat
he would stay in Germany till hell
freezes before he would sign an
agreement to permit all the interned
German ships in America to depart.
The departing Americans were as.
sured that mo one was AFRAID OF
America" Immediately there nash

Negro Boy Breaks
Open Cash Regis
ter in Gov. Store

BENJAMIN Russell, a negro boy
about II years Of age, who works Tor
Mr.. Haller, exhibited money to the
amount of $31.40, which awakened
the suspicion of Mr.. Haller. He
questioned the boy closely, with the
resul that the boy confessed that he
had taken the money from the regis
ter in James Connaughton's grocery
store. He broke into the store about
6 O'Clock Sunday morning and pried
of the lid of a cash box in the reg
lister. 1t is not known il this is the
entire amount taken. Mr.. Haller
took him to Mr.. Connaughton. where
he showed how he had gained en-
trance to the store and the cash reg
lister. The money was turned over
to Mr.. Connaughton. The boy Is now
in Jail, awaiting action by the court.
He will probably be sent to a re-
formatory, although it is not stated
just what action will be taken.
