If there. is. a. possibility, that the

"The cost of living matter is of the
utmost seriousness" the Governor

that it will develop into an interstate

ONE PERSON OUT OF EVERY
ELEVEN IN MINNESOTA OWNS
AUTOMOBILE, STATISTICS SHOW

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 2 = Figures
compiled by an automobile. statistics
concern and made public here, show
that Nebraska leads the United States
in the per capita ownership OF auto
mobiles. There are 1897 machines
reported from the corn state and the
percentage is one car for every 7.S
persons.
All of the states which lead the list
are west of the Mississippi river, New
York is the 35th on the list and Mis-
sissippi is last. With the exception
of California, states with large pop
ulation did not make the showing
that the less densely populated state
in the rural districts did and it is
therefore estimated that the percent
age of farmers owning cars is great
er than the percentage in the city.
Statistics for the. nine LEADING
states follow:
Nebraska, Population 1858, 900 Au
tos 1887, One to 7.8.
California, Population 1926 900
Autos 407, 761, One to 7.9

The South and North were going
forth
To peaceful life again,
With hearts full of song, to right
the wrong
That had come between brother
men.
One soldier boy was full of joy,
That God had spared his life;
He was full of vim, this soldier Jim
Returned from bloody strife.
"I'll establish a home, no more, III
roam,"
Said Jim in sixty-eight.
He hustled around, next year, twas
found
s He'd welded the winsome Kate.
And home they reared where Goo
was feared,
And loved, and worshipped each
day;
Whose word was law, nor fault mol
flaw
Came into that home to stay.
The years flew fast, we see them al
last,
Their table set for eight.
Childish prattle, and baby rattle
Was heard both early and late. 8
With daughters six they had to mix
Hard work with the joy of life. ,
Early and late, did Jimmy and Kate
Toll on, happy husband and wife
TIE years still flew, the little girls
grew
To be women fair and sweet.
Each met her fate, each welded q
mate,
And went forth ife's duties to
meet.
Home was forlorn, of its children
shorn,
Very quiet, the old home place;
But through their tears smile ap-
On Jim and Hates face.9
And so they rest as they face the
west,
With eyes firmly fixed on Heaven;
For now they know while here below,
Instead of one home they have
| seven.
And now it is said, this pair have
been wed
Fifty years, on this happy day.
From North, South and West, to the
old home nest,
The children have found their way.

all here,

corner of Fifth and Elm street.
An unusual feature in the family
ife of Mr.. and Mrs. Norris is that

hood and all have families of their
own.
The daughters are Mrs. Edith w.

elaborate preparation for the celebra-
ton of their Golden Wedding anniver7
sary, but last weeks Herald carried
an announcement that they would be-
glad to welcome their friends during
the afternoon and evening.
The commodious home was verit-
able bower of floral offerings from
friends from far and near, the pre-
vailing colors of which were yellow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norris and daughters
received the callers most graciously
and about 100 took advantage OF the
opportunity to greet this worthy cou-
ple. extending Fluctuations over their
long journey down life's pathway and
expressing the sincere hope that they
may be permitted to enjoy each otn-
er's society for many years to come.
When Mr.. Norris came to Sank

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH TO
BUILD NEW PARSONAGE
WILL SELL PREGENT HOUSE

The members of the Congregational
church have been contemplating for
some time the erection of parsonage
near the church but owing to various
causes have postponed taking any
definite steps. The congregation has
owned a good house on Main street
for many years but it is apparent
that the parsonage should be located
nearer the church. At meeting OF
members on Monday evening it was
decided to build new parsonage
and committees were appointed to
take up the matter and decide on
the site. ! It was also decided to offer
for sale the present parsonage on
Main street at once. The present
pastor urged the building of a parson-
age during the first year of his
pastorate, but owing to the war it
was decided to wait awhile. Plans
made then will now mature and the
building will be erected as soon as
possible The house viii be modern IN
every respect and specially designed
for the use Of . minister.
