Has His Own Idea
About Hatchin9
Chickens, Seems

Sheriff Baker springs a new one
on us this week, and we believe you
will have to agree with us that it is
different. 1t comes this time in the
way of an innovation in incubation.
He has a boarder up at his board
ing house by the name of Leon Bar
ber. who. becoming tired Of the
monotony of county boarding house
existence. decided to enter into the
chicken business.
Barber started in this way. He
secured four eggs from the janito-,
which he placed upon the boiler Of
the court house heating plant and
patiently waited results. In due
time his hopes we're realized. parti-
ally at least, for he is now the pos
sesor of two downy little chicks and
has proven to his own satisfaction
that Matching chickens is . very
simple undertaking. Sheriff Baker
tells us that Barber is very proud
of his newly acquired possession. and
that the chicks seem perfectly satis-
fed with their environment and
none the worse off for the peculiar
manner in which they came into ex-
istance.

Decorate American
Graves Overseas
on Memorial Day

Another Memorial Day Is ap-
preaching. But few of the relatives
Of the fallen can go to Europe to
lay wreath on the grave of the
departed. AS last, the American
Legion will perform this holy service.
Committees from American Le-
gion posts in England, France, Bel
GUM, and Germany will see that
every overseas grave Of an American
soldier is fittingly decorated as IL
all slept in the soil Of the home
land. For this purpose each post Of
the American Legion is contributing
its pro rata share to the decoration
OF the graves Of the dead overseas.
However, there will be instances
in which relatives Of those fallen
overseas will wish a particular
scheme of decoration carried out, or
they may wish to contribute cer-
tain amount of money for decorating
a grave in a manner conforming to
their ideas.
The local post of the American
Legion will be glad to assist any
person desiring to decorate any
grave overseas in any manner they
may wish. Anyone desiring to take
advantage of this may do so.
e. ]. Wage, Adjutant Ed. Otto
Post, sisseton, will be glad to re-
ceive any such requests and will for
ward 1t through the proper channels
together with; the amount Of money
contributed and q special commune
cation regarding the use to which
the money will be put.
Requests should be received on Or
before April 26th In order to allow
ample time in which to execute them.

Sanitary Makes
Several Changes

The Sanitary Barber shop has
undergone considerable remodeling
and general dressing up lately. The
old vestibule, which formerly took
up considerable space in the entrance
of the shop has been torn out and
replaced by two concrete steps
which lead from the sidewalk to
the interior. This not only affords
great advantage in the way Of ad-
ditional floor space, but adds inf
nitely to the general good appearance
and convenience of the work room.
The open wiring has also been sup
planted by pipe wiring, and painters
will begin work soon on the paint
ing and decorating of the interior
When finished the Sanitary will pre-
sent very neat appearance and be
without doubt one Of the incest
barber shops in this section Of the
state.

Elmer Pearson and
Miss Reilly Wed in
Aberdeen April 3

Miss Kathryn Reilly Of this city
and Elmer Pearson of Sisseton were
united in marriage on April 3 by
the Rev. FIR. Dermudy. The cere-
mony was performed at the parson-
age, 413 Third Ave. S. E., at six
O'Clock. Mr.. Pearson resided in
Ortley. until March 1, when he was
elected auditor of Roberts county,
and removed his home to Sisseton.
He also made his home in Aberdeen
at one time. Mrs. Pearson has been
connected with the Olwin-Angell
store for the past year. For three
years she was manager OF the ready
to-wear department at Arnett's de-
partment store. The bride has lived
in Aberdeen for twelve years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson will leave
the first part Of this week for points
east, after which they will return
to Sisseton where they will make
their home. They will be at home
to their friends after May 1.
The foregoing item taken from
the Sunday Aberdeen American re-
fers to our newly acquired citizen,
Mr. Elmer Pearson.
The groom neglected to tell the
news on his arrival, but his many
friends soon learned of the event.
and he has been showered with con-
gratulations and good wishes. Sisse-
ton will extend hearty welcome to
Mrs Pearson on her arrival, and the
Standard wishes them all the good
fortune which may be allowed to
come their way.

ELECTED
I'D TERM
TUESDAYS ELECTION Is QUIET
ONE; RAND PROPOSITION
CARRIES BY LARGE
MAJORITY.
Tom Osman Wins Over John Swan.
berg For Alderman In Second
Ward and o. e. Alderman
Second Ward.

Sisseton had one Of the quietest
elections Tuesday that was ever
witnessed since it's existance as q
city. There was nothing Of warm
ing up nature about the whole ar,
fair excepting the weather, and in
this particular 1t was rather hot
one. There were not, however, any
particular issues for the electors
consideration to create any undue
enthusiasm. The only feature ap-
preaching anything of this nature
was the proposition for voting tax
levy for the maintenance of .
municipal band. which carried by
a big majority. This assures Sisse-
ton first class band at minimum
cost to the city, and puts the organi-
cation on sound footing where
real progress can be made. There
are few towns the size of Sisseton
that can boast of band organiza-
ton the equal of the one we have
here at the present time, and now
with the guarantee of sufficient
funds to work on, we can expect
some real progress in general devel-
opment and proficiency.
The contest for mayor did not
prove to be very hotly contested
one. A. O. Bunde. for reelection,
and A. .Arrowsmith we're the candi-
dates TOR this once, but 1t seemed
that the majority Of the citizens
were satisfied with the present In
cumbent and returned Mr.. Bunde by
large majority, the vote being 341
for Bunde, and 1872 for Arrowsmith.
Thos. Osman was chosen alderman in
the second ward over ohm Swanberg
by a vote of 81 to 50.
VOTE BY WARDS.

Exhibits by Schools

Goodwill school district No
gave an exhibit last Friday, April
Is, in which three different schools
took part, and was one of the most
interesting, educational and enter
tanning events that has taken place
in that district for some time.
There were great variety of ex-
hibits entered in the contest, all Of
which were products of the genius
and efforts Of the boys and girls of
the district. The girls exhibit con-
sisted of deliciously baked cakes,
ETC., and fancy sewing. The boys
exhibited seed corn, and all took
part in the school work exhibit, such
as writing, arithmetic, drawing, pa
per cutting, ETC., all of which was
we'll gotten up and carefully and
creditably executed. Walter Wickard
was given the prize for the best
composition. in which he proved him
self exceptionally capable, and won
the applause and admiration Of his
hearers. His subject was "What 1
would do IL 1 had 100000" We
hope to have this appear in the
Standard next week. There we're
many small cash prizes awarded for
best exhibits.
County Agent Buchanan, Miss
johnson, of domestic science depart
ment in Sisseton High school, and
Miss Robinson. county superinten-
dent of schools, acted as judges.
The whole affair was success in
every particular, and serves as an
example of what can be accomplished
in creating community interest, and
domestic, social, and educational
advancement IL only the proper ef-
forts is made by those who have the
betterment Of their surroundings at
heart. and who insist in making the
community In which they live better,
bigger, broader, cleaner. and more
enlightened.

Interesting and Entertaining
Throughout; Each Number
Well Presented.

The citizens of Sisseton had the
pleasure OF enjoying one Of the best
musical treats at the school audi

The program was we'll chosen, ex-
tensiye and diversified, and every
number we'll received and highly
appreciated by everybody present.
as was eIdenced by the enthusiastic
hands from the 'front.', and the
many and repeated encores.
The violin duet by Sateren and
Moe was very good and SO we'll ap-
preciated that they were obliged to
play an encore.
The vocal solo by Henry Hanson
was received with enthusiastic ap-
plause, and he also was called upon
to sing the second time. Mr.. Hanson
has an excellent voice, and this fact
is only further evidence that Sisse-
ton is especially fortunate in hav-
ing an abundance Of musical talent
Of the better sort.
The trombone solo by Elmer Camp
came in for hearty and enthusiastic
applause and encore.
The reading by Miss Axness was
excellent, and we want to put en-
phasis on the adjective. While yet
very young, her delivery, expression.
and acting was such as would have
done credit to one of much more
mature years, and proved that she
is natural born elocutionist. She
was called upon the second time and
the encore was greeted by hearty
applause from the admiring audi.
ence.
The saxophone duet by DIR. Sorbel
and Clarence Johnson was very
pleasing and entertaining, and the
execution was that of the trained
musician They we're greeted by
much applause and encore.
DR.. Longstreth gave very inter-
esting and instructive talk at the
beginning of the program, touching
upon the Importance of good band
organization for sisseton, what had
thus far been accomplished by our
citizens in rendering financial and
moral support to the organization,
