Mile. Verlet To Give
Concert Monday Evening

Monday night W. will have an op,
portunity to hear Mile verlet. the
little Belgian Queen of Song" as she
Is lovingly called in her own country
near Brussels.
Mile. Verlet came to America direct
from the Paris Grand Opera Company
where she was premier coloratura So
prano. She had a brilliant reputa-
ton which she acquired in musical
centers of Europe. and her coming to
America has only increased her fame.
For American music lovers were not
at all disappointed in Mile. Verlet's
Marvellous voice. in spite of her great
reputation.
Mile. Verlet was in Brussels, or rat
her at her house near Brussels. when
the war broke out OF course, she
and her mother were Obliged to close
their house and flee In haste, just get
ting away before the Germans advanc-
ed.
Her brother was less fortunate,
however. He was a retired officer in
the Belgian army and after seeing his
sister and mother safely out OF the
country. he determined to go back and
offer his services to fight the foe. Be-
fore he could reach Antwerp, however,
he was arrested by the Germans. AR
rested" we call it-but the German
way of making the arrest in this case
was to knock Mr.. Verlet down, beat
him with the butts of their rifles and
then force him to march several miles
TO Brussels, where he was imprisoned
and left two days without food. But
the goaler was a Belgian, so Mr.. Ver-
let was able to escape by bribing him,
and was finally taken to a hospital
Mr.. Verlet's injuries proved 30 serious
that he spent fourteen months In bed
He was quite unable to work and SC
escaped deportation to Germany.
Mile. verlet herself has become an
enthusiastic American. While she Ii
intensely devoted to her own country
still, the warm reception she has re-
ceived in America has caused a great
affection to grow up in her heart for
the people of this country. So she is
very happy singing her way into the
hearts of her new friends.
Mondays concert will be an invita-
ton affair and the musical fans OF
Miller will be there in full force This
concert will be a long looked for OPP
portunity to hear the wonderful gol-
den voice of the gifted Belgian.

American Legion Prefers
Buildings As Memorials

WATERFOWL. s. D.-"Buildings, not
monuments, as memorials" is the lat
est slogan of the American Legion of
South Dakota.
The state headquarters OF the Leg
ion, through its publicity office at Wa
tertown. urges upon ex-service men Of
the state. that they stand for the elm
ination of marble monuments and
marble shafts as memorials TO South
Dakota men who served in the great
war. and that in their stead memorial
halls or buildings be erected. 1t is
contended that public sentiment is
strongly in favor over the country of
memorials Of a useful and practical,
vet fitting nature, rather han monu-
ments and shafts, which, while artis-
tic and beautiful, perform no useful
purpose except in a sentimental way.
Memorial halls or buildings should be
OF a substantial character and show
by marble or bronze tablets the pur-
pose for which they are erected II
such buildings were so arranged as
to provide headquarters for the Am
erican Legion, which will ultimately
embrace all returned soldiers in its
membership, a lasting, useful memoir
ial would be provided. as well as as
sisting the organization to maintain its
membership and to become a potent
factor in the community.
A number of counties are at this
time contemplating the raising of
funds either by public subscription
or by appropriation by the county
commissioners, to be used in erecting
memorial monuments. One county has
under consideration the expenditure of
$4,000. Such a sun expended in pro-

BERTHE Lee Colman was born in Mil
Ter, s. d., October 20, 1902, and died
September Is, 1919. He has lived all
his life i'm and around Miller
The people of Miller, as they look
back toward the past, will remember
a little fellow in pinafore riding a big
horse as the child followed his father
through the streets of the city. SO
small was he, he could hardly keep
his seat on the animal he rode. From
that time until the time Of his death
BERTHE was fond of riding and became
the companion of his father In many
a long days ride. The father and son
were partners and chums.
BERTHE was popular with the young
people with whom he was associated.
He was the leading spirit In their par
ties and games. His was a sensitive,
loving nature Kind and generous to
a fault. To the aged he was reveren,
and courteous. He was often seen
lending the strength of his strong arm
to assist an aged friend. He was in
all things a boy with a boys ideals
and a boys outlook on life and a
boys ambition in his heart and a boys
feeling of life surging in his soul. To
know him was to love him.
On Tuesday evening, September Is,
BERTHE with a young companion went
out hunting. He was in some accid-
entail manner, while in his auto, shot
with his own gun He was taken to
his home where every attention was
given him by MIR. and Mrs. Colman,
but il was soon evident that he could
not live. The young man realized
that the end was near and turning to
Mrs. Colman of whom he was ex-
tremely fond he said TELL Adelaide
Goodbye" Taking Mrs. Colman by
the arm he said Il am gone" Then
turning he smiled on Mr.. Colman and
said Goodbye Papa" and with these
words passed into the Great Beyond.
There is left to mourn his untimely
death, besides Mr.. and Mrs. Colman,
his mother Bertha Colman, sister.

than a brothers love and affection,

Its real estate dealers have formed
