1t seems nowadays that public
sentiment is so strong in favor OF the
rulings made by our government Of
fcials that a mans having. money and
q fine auto does not excuse him from
doing his duty as citizen should, who
takes off his hat to Old Glory in the
proper spirit. Sunday being the Sec
ond autoless Sunday, it was not pre-
sumed many would be out to services
here with autos. One car owner,
however, not caring to drive his horses,
came as usual to morning and evening
services. Somebody, prompted by a
desire to voice his patriotic sentiment,
placed card in the auto during morn
ing service mentioning something
about slackers. Incidentally, we take
our hat off to the fellow who wrote
the card. That same auto was there
all by it's lonesome Sunday evening
When Mr.. Car Owner wanted to &c
home, his tires were fiat, his indigna-
ton aroused, and bystanders were
amused. Sentiment seemed to be with
the boys who did the trick.

WILSON ASKS SCOUTS AID

A letter from President Wilson urg-
ing every member of the Boy Scouts
of America to aid the fourth Liberty
loan, was made public this week.
aThe fact that the scouts secured
1 1922, ,649 subscriptions, representing
5000, 10000, in the previous COM
paigns is a convincing testimonial to
the value of organized boyhood for
the kind of patriotic service that is
worth while," the president said in his
letter. The loan services of the boys
have been appreciated by the whole
nation" he added, and the country
"already proud of them," expects eff
fective work during the fourth cam
paign.

Bentley Grand Theater, Wednesday
Eyenin0, July 3.

A wealthy married woman OF
middle age became fascinated by a
young man who had recently come
into a big fortune. She met him
at cabaret show with some mu-
tual friends and Immediately laid
siege on his affections. Her clev-
erness made up somewhat for her
age and as she was good company,
t h e couples intimacy ripened
quickly. The young man was only
amusing himself while the woman
was in dead earnest. Her passion
for her charmer finally lead her to
divorce her husband, well known
importer. She got her evidenca
and alimony through the skill OF a
notorious black leg lawyer who spe-
cialized in such cases; a private
detective agency framing the evi-
.dence which got the decree Once
free, she fastened to acquaint the
young clubman with the fact that
he could make her his wife. But
marrying was farther from his
result, furious woman.
The lawyer, who never hesltated
where q big fee promised, outlined
a nice little trap VIII ca was to sat-
isfy his clients burning desire for
revenge and pluck the young club
man for a fortune in alimony. A
young woman of questi( nable
character was taken into the game.
A wine party and hastv wedding
followed; next day the bride dlsap-
peared. The scheme was to get the
young man in a compromising po-
sition with another woman. A d.
yorce suit followed. Everything
would have worked out to the
schedule had not the young adven-
turess decided she preferred being
a rich mans wife to getting her
cut of the alinony. She baked and
refused divorce. The lawyer fail

it came to paying the detectives

SERGEANT Hdnley Pictures.

The war pictures and lecture
given by Sergeant Hanley at the
Bentley Grand Saturday night,
were the best presentation of
the war situation that we nave
yet had in the city. The pic
lures were of actual scenes on
the battle front, and the facts as
presented by Sergt. Hanley
were of vivid and Illuminating
character, the speaker stating
that it would be almost impossi-
bic to exagerate the horrors
which the people of Belgium and
northern France have been sub
iected to from the invaders of
their country, murder, rape and
brutality too offensive to be des
cribed. and of which no denial
can be attempted, as the eyi-
dences are too abundant to admit
of any reasonable ground for
disbelief. Sergeant II an ey
pressed home the duty of those
Of us who are not on battle line
to get in solid column behind the
boys in supporting every war
measure to our fullest ability.

The FlaQ and the Banner

Two young fellows in Roberts
county, l.. Anderson, and a Mr..
Horstman, unfortunately let their
enthusiasm for Townley's nor-par-
tisan league run counter to their pa
triotism and were arrested Tuesday
and taken to Sisseton for a hearing.
The facts as they were given to
US are that the two men drove into
Wilmot Monday evening with
banner inserted: We farmers will
stick to non-partisan league, on
one side of the car and on the other
an American flag. One of the home
gu ris saw the non.partisan banner
and reported it to their Captain
who detailed squad to remove the
banner which they did. The boys
when leaving the town tore the
American flag from the car and
threw it on the ground. When
the captain heard what had been
done to the American flag, ordered
his men to get autos and catch the
boys. Several auto loads were out
all night going to the nearby
towns but were unable to get any
trace of them until just before
train time in the morning, when
they We're caught at the Anderson
home near Wilmot and taken to
Sisseton, but what disposition Of
the case has been made we have not
learned.

Grant County Sends 81 Men to Camp
Funston.

Last Monday a large gather.
ing Of people came in from all
parts Of the county to give the
registrants for the new army a
farewell and God speed. A
special train Of some fourteen
sleepers and dining cars was to
start from here upon the arrival
of the Roberts county contin-
gent, consisting Of some ninety
men from that county, who ar
rived here at $3.50.
The Milbank band with a num-
Der of players from outside
bands brought the people to the
soldiers monument on Main
street where the flag was to be
raised for the first time on the
new steel flag pole recently erect
ed. After several selections had
been given the band struck up
THE Star Spangled Banner, :"
and the flag was slowly raised to
the top. to float in the breeze as
a sign of Milbank' S loyalty and
patriotism. In connection with
the raising Of the flag Rev. A. E.

to the assem- bled crowd, but
more particularly addressing
the men Of the new army who
had been marched to the monu-
ment for the exercises. and who
were about to leave for Camp

eloquent tribune to the glory and
beauty of the flag without stain,
emblematic Of sacrifice, purity
and devotion to justice and liber
ty, and he assured the young
men who had just entered the
service Of their country that the
people Of the community felt
that with courage and fidelity
they would defend the flag and
bring it home stainless and vic
torious. The address was a
masterpiece of stirring patriotic
appeal.
At the conclusion of the ad
dress the newly enlisted men
were marched to the depot,
where after music by the band
Hon. Judge Thos. l. Bouck made
short farewell address to the
boys, assuring them that while
