VOTE NEXT TUESDAY.

The recent ruling of the Attorney
General erquires Nonpartisans to
participate in the Primary election
which will be held next Tuesday.
March, 23rd. 1t has been supposed
that this would not be necessary,
since the League candidates have no
opposition, beig, unanimously en-
dorsed by the Nonpartisan League
farmers throughout the state. But it
is necessary to go into the primaries
i'll order to elect our state chairman,
national committeeman and dele
gates to the national convention.
The state chairman must be elect
ed in the primaries or there will be
no legal organization to conduct the
campaign. The same is true of the
national committeeman. The dele.
gates to the national convention must
be elected by the people at the prim-
ary or they cannot receive creden-
tials to the national convention.
that the League go to the primaries
In sufficient numbers to elect these
officials. There is no opposition to
the candidates nominated at Pierre
by the League state convention 70,
these positions, and only few votes
will be necessary. However, some
votes must be cast, to make the elec-
ton legal. League members will
find their ballots at each precinct.
and all that is necessary at the pre-
cinct. is to call for League ballot
and vote it. The green ballot is the
League ballot. the Republican white
and the Democratic ballot is pink.
The date of the election is Tuesday,
March 90.

FIERCE STORM SWEEPS
THE NORTHWEST

Monday morning, a bad reac-
tion of the beautiful weather we
have been having broke upon the
Northwestern states, causing dam
age and distress to all that lay in its
pathway. Telephone and electric
lines fell before the heavy wind, and
as a result, Sisseton and other cities
were left devoid of electric power
and telephone service. Some Of
the local business places suffered
damage in the way Of broken glass
fronts. The melodious whistle
which has been our chief guide in
telling the time Of day, and which
has spread the news Of some fire so
often, followed suit. As result,
folks will be late in going to work.
Some of the younger ones will be late
in getting in at night, and we expect
things will be very much in state
of heterogeneity until we can adjust
ouselves to the new conditions.

power for sixty hours. Six miles

SISSETON HIGH SCHOOL,
WINS DOUBLE HEADER

The local high school basket ball
teams wound up the season in good
fashion Friday nigss at the auditor
ium. by winning both games of a dou-
BILE header against the boys and girls
teams of Wlimot. Both games were
very interesting from start to finish.
The second team of Sisseton High
School starte dagainst the boys of
Wilmot, and at the end of ten-min-
ute period, stood 2 and 2, when they
were replaced by the first team. AZ
ter the first team went in there was
no doubt as to the outcome. When
the final whistle blew. the score was
% to IA in favor of Sisseton.
The game between the girls of the
two schools was also interesting, and
resulted in a l2 to victory for the
home team. In this game the local
team surprised themselves. having
rated the Wilmot team as capable of
breaking about even.
AS these games closed the season
for the local teams, we might men
ton that they have made very Gre
ditable showing against all teams
played AT Aberdeen they were the
victims of hard luck, but even then

ONE BIG SCHOOL DISTRICT?

We understand that as a result of
recent meetings OF the school boards
of the different districts of Sisseton
township, that the sentiment of the
farmers OF these districts is in favor
of building three new school build
,gs, one in each district This shows
the progressive spirit of the farmers,
but is it the wisest solution of the
problem of providing educational fa-
ctlities for the rural pupils. The
first question that will be asked is:
How will the expense of maintaining
one big district, compare to the ex-
pense under separate district sys-
tenn? The expense of the indepen-
dent district of Sisseton would ma
turally he lowered, if the three dis
ytricts combined with the indepen-
dent district OF GissetoM A coun-
try schoo teacher costs 5000 to $1,000
per year. Three extra staoves would
be burning Sl2 coal. The expense
however, should not be the important
factor In settling this question and
very likely will not be. There is a
school spirit that exists in a large
school that does not exist i'm the small
country school. which is big factor
in making good student out of
youngster The advantages of learn
ing are Better, you will agree. The
equipment. throughout is more COM
plete, and with the large school build
ing that Sissaton now has. it would
be an enticing invitation should it be
extended to the three districts i'm Sis
seton township
But transportation would have to
be provided for the pupils. Some
would object to the Transportation
system There are objections to
both methods, but the proposition.
should be thoroughly investigated be-
fore any steps be taken i'm either d.
rection.

RUTH NOBLE HAY

Last week a shade of sadness was
spread over the entire community
when it learned that the death an
gel had entered the Olson hospital
at Minneapolis, and had taken away
the soul of our beloved citizen and
doctor-Miss Ruth Noble Hay.
Miss Hay had suddenly taken i'll
from cold in our city and had to be
confined to her bed for a week be-
fore it was decided to take her to
Minneapolis for treatment. After
being taken to Minneapolis, she was
sick for about three weeks before
death came, apparently as result
of mercury poisoning.
Miss Hay was born in the year
1872, in Wyoming, Iowa, and had
attained the age of AZ at the time of
her death. The greater part Of her
life was spent in preparation for the
administering of Chyropractic,
treatment, and as result of faith
full study in her chosen work, she
has been graduated from the fol-
lowing institutions: Universal Chy-
ropractic College 1912; Palmer
School of Chyropractic 1911, and
received the honor of graduate OPP
tometist in April, 1919.
The funeral was held at Aldin,
Iowa, where she had lived with her
brother A. j. Hay, until the year
1900, after which they moved to
Algona, Iowa, residing there until
1912. Since 1912, during which
time she has resided in Sisseton, she
has made many staunch friends who
are ever ready to say good word in
her behalf. She was devout
Christian, and her work was invari-
ably for the betterment of human,
ity.
A brother, A. ]. Hay, is the only
member Of the family,
and it is our wish that his consolx-
tion is in the thought that lite
spent in the-uplift of our fellow men,
is pleasing to Him who has called
her away.
