MEMS CLASSES
At BIC EVENT
Instructive and Pleasing Pro-
gram Given at Y. M. CA.

At a joint assembling of the Eng
fish, citizenship and night school
classes q very enjoyable social n
educational evening was spent at the
Y. M. G. A. last night under the SUI
pervision of the industrial depart
At 8 O'clock the partitions between
the three classrooms were thrown
open, forming a good sized auditori-
UNI, which was soon well filled by
the men and the teachers Of the sew
cral classes. A Greek holiday pre-
vented q large number from attend
ing or the gymnasium would nave
had TO be used to accommodate the
large number enrolled in the pro-
gram. From the very outset a very
fine spirit was displayed by the guests
who, from former experience, came
prepared for a good time. The OBJ
ject of the affair-to bring the for
eign-borns together in good comrade-
ship-was attained early in the even
ing for the men entered heartily into
Ill the activities.
R. I. Vail, of Newark, former in
dustrial secretary of the Y. NJ. G. A.
here, gave the men a very interesting
talk on becoming q citizen n what
the United States government a to
offer its citizens. He explained the
advantages of the English classes as
tending toward making better citt-
zens and the citizenship classes as
Helping the foreign born do the best
tor themselves in this country.s Bob

tanned the guests on the violin and
banjo-guitar with old southern songs
which despite the foreign element
were well received.
Probably the most enjoyable part
of the evening were the semi-athletic

played with zest. These games APP
parently take very well with the men
at all times and form an important
part of h program which is being
rarried out in the various plants
throughout the city.
The evening ended with three reels
of educational moving pictures, with
Frank Foye at the piano, in which the
men showed great interest. The last
of the three was the portrayal of the
rise of a foreigner in this country after
attending a night English class n
learning the language. 1t was eSpec-
Tally appropriate last night because of
the nature of the affair which is only
n of the many to come which will
aid the foreign born here become at

canization program.
Frank w. Hensen, Industrial secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A. said last night
that he is doing his best to put across
y real live Americanization program.
His intentions are to cooperate as
much as possible with the night
schools here which plan is not gen.
orally carried out in most places. The
program has started this year eXcep-
tionally well Inc the workers are en-
thusiastic about the results which are
bound to come after such a start. The
moving pictures, Mr.. Hensen a will
play q great part in the educational
work and the specimen last night
showed how much this institution can
help.
These affairs are to be repeated
every month and it is known that an
even larger crowd will attend next
month when the holidays will not in
terfere.

Why COLDS ARE DAMaERous

You are often told to beware of
cold" but why? We will tell
you: Every cold weakens the
lungs. lowers the vitality and paw
es the way for the more serious
diseases. People who contract
pneumonia first take cold. The
longer cold hangs on, the greater
germ diseases, as cold prepares
the system for the reception and
development of the germs of con-
sumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever

you get rid of your cold, the less
the danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's

LAMAR YOUTH ACCUSED
OF RIyLuI0 MAIL BOX
Charged With Having Taken valu-
able Mail Natter from Citisens
state Bank Box.

The mysterious disappearance
last Saturday and Sunday of a
quantity of mail addressed to the
Citizens State bank after it had
been placed in the lock box of the
bank at tile post office led to q
watch being placed on the box,
with the result that q boy Is years
old, the son Of highly respected
parents, is now in custody of fed
eral authorities on a serious
charge.
The boy was arrested by Under
Sheriff RhOdenbaugh and ex-Mar-
shall Barnhill a few moments after
he had opened the bank box and
removed several decoy letters that
had been placed in the box. The
boy, it is claimed, confessed his
guilt to the officers.
Last Friday J. NJ. Williams, presi-
dent Of the Citizens State Bank,
lost bunch of keys, one of which
fitted the banks box in the post
office. The boy who found the
keys. it is alleged opened the post
office box on Saturday and Sunday
and secured scores of letters ad-
dressed to the bank containing
drafts and checks, and other valu-
able papers. So far as can be learn
ed the value of the checks and
drafts was in excess of $4,000, and
it is claimed that all but about
500 worth of these were burned
by the boy. While the theft of the
letters will not cause any financial
loss to the bank or the customers,
it will envolve a good deal of time
and work in checking up the ac-
counts and having new checks and
drafts issued. So far as is known
no currency was obtained by the
boy.
A deputy United States marshal
was sent here by the post office in
spector to take charge of the
youthful prisoner. and he left for
Denver with the lad on Tuesday
night.-Lamar Sparks.

LOCATION OF ANNUAL CLASSIC

According to the Sioux Falls Press
cation of the annual 1920 football game
November Is, between the State Uni
versity eleven of Vermillion and the
team from State college at Brookings
This situation arises as result OF
strained relations between the board
of education of Sioux Falls and the
two contesting schools. That board OF
education is said by the Sioux Falls
Press to be holding out for renta'
of $500 for the best football field in
Sioux Falls, for this game, while the
management of the football teams
named, desires to adhere to the for
mer agreement of percentage OF
the gate receipts to be paid for the
use of that oval.
Both Aberdeen and Watertown col
lege sport enthusiasts have made over
lures to the management of the foot
ball teams from the two state schools,
to bring their Thanksgiving day game
to either WatertOWn or ADerueen dIn
it is believed that If the trouble at
Sioux Falls is not settled the big
game of football in the state this au-
tumn may come to Aberdeen Tor the
reason that there is fine oval there,
one of the best in the state and posi-
bilties of a record breaking patronage
would be better in Aberdeen than in
Watertown.
The Sioux Falls Chamber of Com
merce has named committee Of which
r. w. Dwight president Of the state
board of regents is chairman, to con
fer with the board of education OF
Sioux Falls, upon the subject of ad-
iusting the existing conditions.

COLE ELECTED DIRECTOR

Fred Cole of the Cole Mercantile
company of this city, was elected di-
rector Of the Retail Merchants asso-
citation at their annual convention last
week at Watertown. John c. Hammer
of Volga, gave an interesting address
in which he impressed his listeners
that Volga was a live town. Fred P.
Mann of Devils Lake, N. D., in strik-
ing speech told the merchants how to
meet mail order house competition.
1t can best be met, he said, by the
use of the same methods as the mali
order house employs. In North Da-
kota mail order houses were spending
over a million dollars a year for ad-
vertising while only ten per cent OF
the retail merchants were advertising
at all. Because of that, he said, the
mail order houses got over one-third
of the business. The merchants there
now, however have wakened up and
are meeting mail order competition
through advertising and are success
fully keeping the business at home,
The convention next year will be held
at Mitchell.

five real or adopted sons of the same

the bonds of comradeship between
each other The Cowboy Poet, Charles

than the games which had been
planned, and practically all of them
ran out east of town to see the wreck.

Day, "A day in which to honor the
memory of those who have served
their country and who have passed
into the great Beyond. This is a
solemn day and worthy of observance
by every patriotic citizen. 1t is the
time for recalling our most sacred
memories of our departed heroes and
to do them fitting honor. Before the
proclamation was issued changing the
day of Observance to Monday it was
planned by the six patriotic orders
of Brookings to attend Memorial ser
vices in the Lutheran church at the
regular hour for morning service on
Sunday, May so Since the date has
been changed it is not known exactly
what the plans will be. The public
schools and State college have been
requested to take a special recOgni-

the children of the schools and the
young men and women of the college
have brought to their attention the
significance of the day.
