Memorial Sabbath Nicely Observed

Memorial Sabbath Nicely Observed
There was renewed interest taken
this year in Memorial Sabbath. The
opera house was filled to the doors
for the morning service. What
enlivened the interest was the fact
that some of Company X Boys had
just returned and were witnessed in
line for the first time. Corporal
Schill carried the flag, and the other
boys in line who had just returned,
were: Herbert Lauth, James Sides,
P. Arvik, Boye Boyson, J. E. Payton
and others Twenty of the soldier
boys were in line with one old vet
eran. Leonard Dill, who had the seat
of honor. The Sons of Veterans
and Woman's Relief Corps were in
line as escorts.
The program as published last
week was we'll carried out and much
appreciated.
DR.. Grafton took for his text
"Wheresoever this gospel is preached,
it shall be told as a memorial of her."
"In one OF the great crises of our
Lords life Mary of Bethany broke a
precious box of spiknard, very
precious, and poured it upon the head
of our Lord amounting Him before

To-day we come to keep in precious
memory the heroes dead of all our
wars and welcome back the returning
soldiers of this great world war.
The speaker congratulated the
R. C. and the G.. A. r. and other
organizations for keeping the fires on
affairs of patriotism burning at all
times, showed how the G.. A. R. must
decrease and the American Legion
with it's possible 5,500,OOO increase,
each filling its great patriotic purpose

the appearance of Mt. Everett that
rises three miles and one half above

Gas out OF the Declaration of
Independence there came thee army
of the revolution, so out of the New
Declaration of Independence has
come THIS great army OF hghtlng
units" said the speaker The causes
of the war were briefly recited, which
made possible the New Declaration
of independence. The pastor took
considerable time to show that GER
tain twelve outstanding characters of
the war did not achieve the great
things, but the private soldier has
been the hard fighter and successful
winner.
The tribute paid to all the home
workers who did all they could to
reduce to minimum the horrors of
the war was appreciated.
The poem expounded and recited
written by Bishop Hughes entitled
''The Unself1sh Mother" was most
appropriate ending to the sermon.
The three divisions of the address
were possibly, the new Declaration
of independence, the new order, The
American Legion and the new outlook
as to who won the war. the private

TOWNLEY MAKES
BOW IN COUNTY
rs PAST MASTER OF R,DlcULE
AND SARCASM
Biggest Gun in Referendum Campaign
Is Shot in This County With Only
Effect Of Making Opposition
More Set

A. C. Townley, the political wizard
of North Dakota. made his first ap-
pearance in Dickey county Tuesday
night when he talked in Ellendale to
a nearly filled opera house. There
were followers of his present from
all parts of the county; others were
rawn as a matter of curiosity to see
and hear the man who has such a
hold on the farmers of North Dakota.
Townley had his audience with him
all the time. no matter whether he
was discussing the League program.
some matters of Legislation that
were not on the League program, or
holding up to scorn and ridicule some
man or men who had crossed the
Townley path
He heaped up more stone and NOR
tar for the big wall the League has
built between the city and country
people of this wonderful state of
ours.
He showed how the farmer was
down-trodden and appealed quite
strongly to class prejudice.
He showed how the Referendum
was given to the people of North Da:
kota by the Leaguers. but not one
word about how he and his followers
had gone over the state to try and
stop the Referendum by failing in
the number of petitioners. He fol-
lowed this up with banter that the
opposition can have just as many
elections as they choose: the League
will win again anyway.
He put the editor of the Glendale
Leader and Chairman Williams of
the Dickey County Independent Vot-
ers Association in the Annanias Club,
where he has put LANCER, Kositzky
and Hall, and his followers applaud
ed Justify.
Not one word about the four Initia-
'tion measures that had been squelch-
ed by the governor, after $4,000 of
our legal voters had signed them.
He divided the seven laws to be
referred into two classes-important
and not important. The mill and
elevator law and the banking law are
the important ones and. the ones he
wanted to see ratified; the other i've
were considered of minor Importance
and not of the League program.
He referred quite often to the fel-
low of the city as "the poor benight-
ed souls of this town." the idea be-
ing to belittle and prejudice.
Senator Cahill of Grant county is
accompanying Townley in his tour of
the state, and spoke about half
hour on the legislation that was ac-
complished at Bismarck.
Representatives Marshall and John
son sat on the platform and the
speakers were introduced by Mr..
johnson.
