Soldiers Welcome Home

A large crowd gathered at the

been in the service over there.

most of the farmers had to go to
their homes to olok after the
evening chores. Another crowd,
however, numbering around Is
gathered in the evening and
spent a most delightful time.
The young soldier was presented
with about $4,000 in cash, whic
he greatly appreciated.
Henry left Sisseton year ago
this month and was with the
forces in France over six months
and was in some of the thickest
of the fight. He was wounded and
spent four months in a hospital.

Fine Comedy Touches
In ''The Common Cause

Comedy touches are a pleasing
relief in contrast to the sterner
scenes in 'The Common Cause"
j Stuart Blackton's latest screen
masterpiece which will be seen
in the Unique Theatre on May
2l-22-23. These lighter roles
are taken by Lieut. Lawrence
Grossmith, Philip Van Loan, Mile
Marcel, and Charles and Violet,
children of Commodore Black
ton.
Lieut.. Grossmith has long been
a prominent figure on the musi-
cal comedy stage in England and
in this country, having created
leading roles in Flora Belle"
Nobody Home" and Love of
Mike" He makes his film debut
as Private Tommy Atkins in
the Common Cause" which is
released through Vitagraph.
One really "big" funny scene
centers about a game of poker in
a French village, where Hun
shells are falling periously near.
The stakes are a bunch of Ger
man helmets and the players a
Yankee private, Private Atkins.
and the Poilu, each of whom had
his part in capturing the helmets
Miss Marcel, in her capacity as
bar-maid, furnishes the drinks
and the Frenchman finally wins
all the helmets-not because of
his knowledge of the great
American game, but because
"house" rules prevail, it being a
French pension, and Mr.. Poilu
not only makes the rules but in
terprets them in French. which
neither the Yank nor the Brit
isher understands. No game of
poker approaching this one ever
was screened.

First National Increases Capital

Several months ago the First
National Bank of Sisseton be-
gan preparations to increase
their capital and surplus from
$4,000 capital and SIS, 900 sur.
plus to $4,000 capital and $25,
600 surplus.
This stock was readily taken
UP by our prosperous farmers of
Roberts County. To-day the First
National has thirty-five stock
holders, all residents of Roberts
County. Of the thirty-five, thirty
of them are farmers. The trans
fer OF stock took place last Fri
day.
This increase of capital and
surplus and the assets of these
additional stock holders makes
the First National Bank of Sis
seton one of the strongest bank
ing institutions in the state.
No change was made in the
management Of the bank and the
same board of directors and of.
ficers will remain in charge for
the year.

The water is somewhat higher
this spring but should this sea-
son come off dry the water would
become dangerously low before
the end of the season unless some
thing is odne, to stop it's flow
down the river.
The plan of the Western Min
nesota Drainage and Flood Con-
troll District is to build per-
manent dam at the foot of the
lake and make of it reservoir.
raising the water of the lake at
least three to four feet, but of
course it will be some time before
this can be accomplished. In the
mean time the matter of hold
ing water in the lake was taker
up by the council and it was decid
ed that if there was no law to
conflict, a temporary dam
should be constructed near the
site of the bridge on the old
bottom road. An appropriation
of 5000 for this purpose was
made, and if permission can he
secured from the state, work will
begin at once.-Ortonville Jour-
nal.

If Sisseton is to celebrate the
glorious Fourth this year it is
high time something was done in
this direction. That the an

the people Who would naturally
attend a celebration in Sisseton
have made other arrangements,
we would suggest that the chair
man of the commercial club call
a meeting at an early date. If we
are to celebrate let's have real

1t is said It will cost a lot of
money to maintain them. Yet
nowhere near so much as to build
new ones. Also that the distribu-
tion will give England more
than the United States will get.
Yet the United States has lived
in peace with England for a CEN
tury, and all that time England
has had n great many more war
ships than America had.
A large section of the German
people are already talking anoth
er war. This may be all hot air
and bluff. But considering the
history OF the German people, it
is safe to say that if they saw a
chance to get the upper hand by
another war, they would fight it
as quickly as they can recover
their balance.
The bigger the fleet held by
the allied powers, the more Ger
many will realize that it is USE
less for her to fight. These ships
will be a s.pelndid insurance for
peace. Some people say that this
government, having pledged it
self to Sc. k no advantage from
the war, could not in consistency
with it's ideals keep these ships.
But that seems fantastic. The
allied powers would not keep
those ships for their own advan-
tage but for the advantage of
the world. and to held down a
