Memorial Day

In accordance with the usual
custom, Memorial Day was OBJ
served in befitting manner. A
large crowd gathered early in the
morning, many of them partici-
pating in the parade to the
cemetery which took place at ten
thirty, where the program was
carried out as scheduled.
On their return to the city the
w. r. C. entertained the G.. A. r.
and a number of the returned SOL
diers at a sumptuous dinner at
the Woodman hall.
At two o'clock a fine program
of music, instrumental and vocal,
readings, drills by the school
children and stirring addresses
by a number of our citizens was
given. The program wound up
with a few appropriate remarks
by Barney Garfield, one of the
few old soldiers we have with us
today. Yes there are but few of
our old soldiers left and they re-
ceived the special honors they
are entitled to and the day, one
of the most impressive of our
national holidays was most fit
tingly observed, perhaps more
SO than it has been for some
years, for now we see not only
the great sacrifices and services
of 81, but more fully appreciate
the standard of devotion and
service which they have always
maintained for their country and
which they instilled in the hearts
of our young Americans.

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial

At a meeting of the Women's 5
Council of National Defense held
May 24th at Sisseton, S. D., to
plan for a proper memorial for
soldiers and sailors, a committee
of about 25 representative mem
of the county were chosen to de-
termine what kind of a memorial
should be built in Roberts
County and to ascertain the
amount of money necessary to
erect it.
This committee of men met at
Sisseton the 10Th and organized
by electing Magnus l.. Stavig.
chairman and John A. Munro.
secretary. This larger committee
selected smaller committee
from their number composed of
Magnus L. Stavig, chairman, E.
j. Turner Sec. Carl J. Rice, C. o..
Swanson and John Meland whose
duty it is to secure the plans and
prices from various manufac-
lures and lay them before the
larger committee as soon as this
information can be secured. This
committee would be glad to re-
ceive any suggestions that may
be offered. 14rHRs

Sisseton Again Victorious

Sisseton ball team placed an
other feather in their hats last
Sunday afternoon, when they de-
feated that famous Ortonville
aggregation on the local diamond
in the best game, ever played on
Sisseton grounds to the tune of
5 to z.
"Pat" our new pitcher was on
the mound for the locals and
made an excellent record for the
first game he pitched this season
in fact the first game for the
past two years as he has been
with the A. e. F. in France the
past eighteen months. To not
spread it on thick we will just
say he is the best pitcher Sisse-
ton has ever had-and that's
going some.
McCawley pulled the receiving
act behind the bat and was there
at every jump of the game. All
the other boy did fine work, and
it was a good clean game from
start to finish. The crowd was
fair sized despite the cold, wet
weather.

Keep The Boys Busy

School will soon be "out" and
the boys will be looking for a
chance to do athletics at the bust
ness end of a hoe handle, Last
year the high school boys did
noble work in helping to win the
war by helping to harvest the
crops. The lessons inculcated
then should not be forgotten
now. Every able-bodied boy
should work during the vacation
period. Work keeps boys out of
mischief and puts money into
their pockets to help dad buy
duds for his numerous offspring.
Parents should not expect
growing boys to serve as pack
horses. Don't overwork the
school boys. You wouldn't but
a two year old colt along side of
a seasoned horse to pull a full
load; so don't expect a growing
boy to carry a full load and get
by with it without being stunted.
Above all, give the boys and
girls a vacation. This can be ac-
complished at little expense in
this favored land where the
many lakes are so convenient.

Death of Mrs. Nicholson

The community was grevious-
ly shocked last Tuesday, May
9th, when news came that Mrs.
Mikkel Nicholson of Long Hol-
low township had died in the
Graceville Hospital from gall
stones. An operation had been
performed, but too late to save
her life.
Anna Magerte Jacobsen was
born at Haugesund, Norway, on
July q, 1861. She was united in
marriage to Mikkel Nicholson,
August %, 1879. In July 1883
they came to America, locating
at Kerkhoven, Mimi, where they
Ilived until the fall of 1910 when
they moved to Sisseton.
In the death of this splndid
Christian wife and mother, the
world loses one of it's beautiful
and helpful characters, whose
impress and whose example have
proven of great benefit to the
community which mourns so
sincerely her sudden death. Six
sons and daughters, splendid ex-
amples of manhood and woman
hood are this good woman's con-
tribution to America and civili-
zation, to humanity and Chris
tianity. They are Michael, Gus
tav, Teoline, Elizabeth, and
Anna of Sisseton and Mrs. A. A.
kvestad of Prelate, Sask. Can.
Mrs. Nicholson was devoted
member of the Lutheran church
at Saron, where the funeral was
held ON Sunday June 1st. The
last sad rites were largely at
tended, attesting the love and
reverence with which she was
held by her neighbors and many
friends. 1nterment was made in
the Saron cemetery.
Besides the husband and six
children, she leaves to mourn
her departure, a brother, o.
Jacobsen of st. Paul, three
sisters Mrs. Nels Olson and Mrs.
J. M. Icarseth of Bellingham,
Wash, and Mrs. John Franking
of Seattle, and an aged father, T.
Jacobsen, also of Bellingham,
Wash.
Those from out of town who
attended the funeral were O.
Jacobsen, of st. Paul, brother;
HI. Nicholson and children of
Clontarf, Mimi, brother-in-law,
and Mrs. A. A. Kvestad and
daughter of Prelate, Sask. Can,
a daughter.
The husband, children and
have the sympathy of
all in their bereavement.

An ADDED Load to the Fuel Bill

1t will be a matter of adding

vance promulgated by the rail-
road administration is made ef-

vances apply to South and North
Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. 1t
can only oe offset by the state
railway commission fixing a rate
whereby South Dakota coal and
Black Hills wood can be distribu-
ted all over the state in compe-
tition. Secretary Springer of the
Commercial club, unlimbers him
self on the advance as follows: {:
''The estimate is based on the
average normal demand of 4O,-
600 tons. The railroad admins
tration now proposes to increase
the freight rates 80 cents per
ton from Indiana and Illinois
mines which it is claimed to be
for .sze purpose of equalizing a
duble advance which was put in
to effect in June 1918, for COM
bined lake and rail rates to des-
tination.

Sioux Falls and other cities and
towns in South Dakota have been
asked to join by sending dele

advance in the distribution over
this territory represents an inn
mense sum-"

JUNE WEDDINGS
Larrabee- Wooley

Miss Hattie Larrabee and
Richard Wooley were quietly
married in Minneapolis last Tues
day, May 9th. The wedding
was in the nature of a surprise
to their many friends who did
find it out until several days
later When it was discovered in a
st. Paul paper that a marriage
license had been procurd by the
young people, and the bride who
had returned without her hus-
band in order to elude their
scors of friends was forced to
"fess up"
The couple are two of Sisse-
toms most popular young peo-
pie, who have made Sisseton
their home since childhood. The
charming bride a graduate of
cur schools and for the past two
years has taught school in the
county, where her success has
met with highest approval.
''Dick" S the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Wooley of Bos-
sko and is we'll and favorably
known in our city. He is happy
gc-lucky guy, who to know him is
to like him. They will make their
home in Minneapolis for the
present.
The Standard joins with a host
of friends in extending con-
gratulations to the happy couple.
