Messrs. Anton Fischer and Frank
Sahli returned home Friday from a
long business trip to the Twin Cities.
From Aberdeen out they made them
selves useful by projecting the new
bride who happened to be without an
escort. 1t was due to their protec-
ton that she was not discovered by
the anxious crowd that was awaiting
her with large quantities of rice.
Johannes Schweitzer, successful
merchant in this city for four years,

Scientists have always wondered
what would happen if an irresistible
force came in contact with an i'm
movable body. This can now be
demonstrated in most practical
way. The Allies declare that the
force which they are now marshalling
for the subduing of Germany is alb
solutely immovable in her purpose to
win this war. Obviously something
/, must happen when these opposing
forces come into final collision.

Volk-Seifert.
Tuesday morning our friend and
assistant cashier of the Hague State
Bank, j. j. Volk, boarded the train
for Aberdeen, S. D. The public paid
little attention to this common oc-
currence although some of his close
friends surmised that there was some
thing in the air Our curiosity and
surmise was still further augmented
and authenticated when it was learned
that Miss Freda Seifert had left for
Aberdeen the following day. 1t has
often been said,
when woman is in the case
All things can take place.
Next to God we are indebted to wo-
man for life itself, and then for max
ing it worth living. We would join
in the chorus with the honored gen.
tleman and sing:
"Oh, woman in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to please,
But seen too oft, familiar with her
face,
We first endure, then love, then en-

The marriage occurred Wednesday
at 8 p. M, in the Catholic church of
Aberdeen, S. D. Father Schell per-

of the groom's sister, Miss Martha
Volk, Mr.. Roy HUM. Miss Ruth Leth-

The bride is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Seifert of Lamber-
ton, Minnesota, who operate q shoe
store in that city. She has been
teaching here the past four months
with perfa It satisfaction to the board
and the Community.
j The groom needs little introduction
to this community. He has lived
around and near here all of his life. He
has graduated from q first class COM
mercial college and most of his life
has worked hard and consistently.
He has travelled much and has seen
life as it comes to everybody in their
travels. For the past five ye\.s he
has been employed in the Hague State
Bank, and of which institution he is
q present stakeholder.
The groom returend home alone the
day after the marriage thinking there
by to evade the shower of rice due
all newlyweds. The crowd, however,
was not so easily appeased with a
shrug of the shoulder and smile
upon being questioned of the affair.
