A meeting of the business men of
Sisseton was held at the Commercial
Club rooms Wednesday evening for

toward financing Sisseton's new
band. A large number of men were

Next Saturday evening the first

Legion Given
Flag by Local
Business Men

a flag and tandard was presented
to Edward Otto post OF the Ameri-
can Legion, Monday evening, by the
business men OF the city. The meet
ing was held at the NJ. W. a. hall.
The local post is jubilant over rne
fine gift.
AT the request of the local post,
a number of the business men OF
the town attended. They were cal
led upon to express themselves.
Each was applauded, and assurance
has been given that the ex-servics.
men are always glad to see an out
side interest manifest. Father Gun
if, Rev. Irwin. Mayor Bunde, H. S.
Morris. and DIR. Robertson all gave
short addresses.
Barney Garfield being the only
member of the G. A. r. present, was
called upon. and gave spirited talk
on the mutual interest of the G. A.
r. and Legion organizations.
American Legion members know
that there is always a good time in
store whenever the Ladies Auxiliary
take it upon themselves to do the
planning. Monday evening was an
other milestone along the path. OF
philanthropy that these ladies have
seemingly chosen to follow. Just
how much real satisfaction the Lee
gionaires get from those events, eau
not be fully told without express
ing the thoughts of all the attend
ants. But what certain individuals
saw after an evening of this kind,
leads one to believe that the Legion
would be far from its present state
of completeness. without the Ladies
Auxiliary. Both the Legion and the
Auxiliary have apparently realized
that the exservice man is social
being by nature. the same as the rest
of the humans. For this reason the
people of Sisseton and vicinity, are
feeling a high sense of qualification
when informed of the character Ol
such gatherings.
The fine new flag that has recent
ly been received by the local post,
was brought forth. and the formal
ceremony of dedication was made.
A siX-piece orchestra rendered
music for the occasion. 1t consisted
of violin. clarinet. cornet. piano
trombone and tuba.
The participants left the hall al
midnight, apparently happy. Every.
one expresses themselves as having
thoroughly enjoyed the affair speech
music, good fellowship, and last
but not least. the delicious refresh
ments prepared by the ladies.

Said the Republicans i'm 1900:
The nation owes debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors
who have fought its battles, and 1t
is the Governments duty to provide
for the survivors and for the widows
and orphans of those who have fall
len in the country's wars. The pen
sion laws. founded on this just sem
timent, should be liberal and should
be literally administered, and the
preference should be given where
practicable with respect to employ
ment in the public service to sold
iers and sailors and their widow;
and orphans.
The Democratic echo of twenty
years ago was after this fashion
I'VE are proud of the courageous
fidelity of the American soldiers and

A"c oa"h VI NOTtu OakOta OUll6-
tin comments as follows on the dairy
COW law now in effect, which was
enacted by the farmers legislature
at the special session:
"The special session of the 1919
North Dakota legislature assembly
laid an excellent foundation for AZ
ricultural cooperation in the state.
Recognizing that diversified farm
ing is indispensable to sound
building up Of agriculture, by the
conservation OF soil fertility, and
that profitable diversifcation rem
ders the growing OF livestock ab-
solutely necessary. the peoples rep
resentatives have provided means
by which farmers not able to finance
themselves may acquire the dairy
stock they need by forming cooper
ative associations and securing pub
lie aid. The dairy association law
(senate bill No. 30) makes It the
duty OF the county commissioners
OF any county to issue or sell coun-
ty bonds or warrants, with the pro
ceeds thereof to purchase cattle for
dairy purposes. and to sell them to
persons who have formed themsel-
yes into an association, as provided
by the act. Such bonds or warrants
shall be issued whenever a petition
in writing by not fewer than so resi-
dent freeholders in the county has
been received and approved by the
county commissioners.
TEN TO GET TOGETHER
Ten or more persons may form
a dairy association, which shall be
governed by such rules and regula-
tions as may be prescribed by the
dairy association and approved by
the county commissioners, such rul-
es and regulations to include provi-
sions for the insurance Of animals
purchased: for the protection and
breeding of such animals; and for
the selling Of improbable stock,
and the disposal of the funds deriv-
ed from such sales. To become a
member OF dairy association q per-
son must agree in writing to comply
with all rules and regulations, such
agreement to be binding until all
obligations for the purchase of
stock for such member have been
met. No person shall become a
member OF dairy association with
thirds of all others proposing to
form an association. Members are
jointly and severally liable for all
contracts. debts and obligations
due to the county from an ass0cia-
tion. to the extent OF 10 per cent in
addition to the purchase price OF
such cattle as each member shall
receive through the association.
s'Next to the possession OF land.
the ownership Of profitoble dairy
and meat animals is the most i'm
portant element assuring soil con-
servation and permanent farm pros
perity. Next in importance is ef
fective local cooperation. for the
standardizing and marketing of pro-
ducts and the securing of credit.
