MRS. MlNDER DIES

Genuine sorrow spread over
this community Wednesday
morning when it became known
that Mrs. John Minder had died
on Tuesday night at her home in
this city, the cause of her death
being cancer, from which she had
suffered for the past two years.
Although it had become known
for several days that her life was
in danger, all her many friends
had hoped that her life might be
prolonged yet a while.
God touched her with His
finger and she slept" the poet
wrote. So may we say of this dear
life God touched her with His
finger and she slept" but not un-
til a beautiful life was lived, q
noble example of patience, fideli-
ty to truth and faith were given.
Stella Lavachek was born in
Claner, Iowa just thirty-nine
years ago. Following her mar
riage to John L. Minder the fami.
ly has resided for the most part
in this city, where surrounded
by her loving husband and six
dear children she spent mary
happy days, but when the fina!
summons came she was ready to
answer her Masters call.
Life will never be quite the
same to those who knew her !;
while those who are nearcs-. to.
her will long for her with. un.
utterable longings-long for a
mothers counsel and advice, and
for wife's gentle and loving
sympathy.
Well may her children cherish
her memory as a precious leg
acy and we fain would say a word
of comfort to the stricken ones.
We can but let our tears fl5w
with theirs and I,irt them to
the promise "At event,u. it shall
be light"
She leaves to mourn h Ar death
a kind and loving husband and
six splendid children, nine sis
ters and six brothers, besides a
large circle of friends.
Funeral services were held On
Thursday mo- akings fyon the St.
Peters Catholic Church, Rev. F.r-.

floral offerings were mute test.
monials of the high regard and
respect in which the departed
was held by all.
A large concourse of friends
followed the remains to the Sis
seton cemetery where they were
inferred in the family lot.
Words can but feebly express
the great sympathy that is ex.
tended to the loved ones of the
deceased. A beautiful life has be IN
called from among us, but her
memory will ever remain.

When they hand back stolen

nOn-eXlSCenC.
When they hand back stolen
Alsace and Lorraine and the Saal
valley, they will lack available
supplies of iron and steel. Potash
is likely to be short for their
crops. They will be cut off from
the ocean, and can get nothing
from chaotic Russia. They will
think many times before deliber-
ately going hungry, and con-
demning themselves to idleness
and anarchy.
AS for Germany going bolshe-
visit, it is not likely. A nation
brought up for centuries on an
ordered life, will not in a mo-
ment throw away all discipline
They have something to gain by
permitting a stage show of bol
shevism. 1t scares the Allies.
Even if they did go bolshevisit.
it would kill their power of
economic production, and keep
them floundering in misery
while the allies recover econo-
mic balance. After making up
very bad faces and saying bad
words, Germany will sign what
ever is offered.
No one need think that even
then Germany will be suffering
too much. No indemnity that can
possibly be demanded will pay a
quarter of what the allies spent
to maintain their civilization
against the pirates.

Spring improvements

1t does not take long to clean
up a town, and it does not take
long to get it in disorder again.
One of the worst features of the
modern community center, is tha
habit of littering up the streets
with waste paper.
The people are buying large
quantities of candy, fruit, chew.
ing gun, and various little eat
ables. Most of these things are
sold in bags and little paper con-
tainers. A large part of this stuff
is eaten on the street. And three
quarters of the people immedi.
ately throw the wrapper away.
People throw away torn news.
paper fragments, handbills ase
scattered, and waste comes from
many other sources. A town
cleaned up one day may be all in
disorder again by the next night.
The larger cities and towns
keep street cleaners who spend
their time picking up the nee,'-
less litter which people leave. 1t
seems folly that the people
should spend their hard earned
money hiring workers to pick up
the needless waste that they
leave about the street.
This condition can only be inn
proved by a campaign of popular
education. The Standard would
like to begin right here and now.
1t asks every citizen of Sisseton
and every visitor to consider
these streets as your home, and
to be as ashamed to litter them
up as you would be to leave dirty
waste kicking around your par
lor.
No matter how attractively
maintained the roadways and the
private grounds may be, if there
are a lot of waste papers blow
ing around town, there is going
to be an air of neglect and dirt.
1t will injure the good name of
the community, and tend to dis
courage people from improving
their own property as they nat
urally would at this time Of
year.
Don't throw waste paper or
the streets. Take it home and sell
it to the rag man or burn it.

tion of this law, or to reduce the
amount of his insurance from,
