Sid Bonaine,
Storm Victim,
Burial Here
Twenty-Seven-Year Old
G. N. Station Agent
Son of Local People
WELL KNOWN LOCALLY
Survived By Parents,
Wife, Child And
Three Sisters =.

Sidney Bonaime, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. F. Bonaime, of this city,
who persisted in the recent storm,
was born in Roseau, Minnesota, on
November 9, 1918. His frozen body
was found Monday afternoon along
the railroad right-of-way indicating
that he evidently intended to fol-
low the tracks to get aid for his
wife and little son, whom he left
in the car on the highway a few
miles from his home. He was
twenty-seven years old.
Roseau, the family home for
many years, was where Sidney
spent his childhood days, attended
school and was confirmed in the
Lutheran faith. He was gradual
ed from the Roseau high school
with the class of 1888.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Bonaime
came to this community in 1884.
when the former took up the dut-
les of Great Northern station
agent in this city, Sidney came
with them. He remained in this
city for about five months and
while here furthered his education
in railroad work, which he started
as boy under the direction of his
father.
After he left this city, prepared
in railroad work, he worked at
various points as operator and
agent, until his appointment as
station agent at Tilden Junction,
Minnesota. He worked for a time
at Sandstone, Forrenston and
Brookston.
On November 26, 1886, he was
united in marriage to Olive Haug-
en- at Thief River Falls. They were
the parents Of one child, now three
years old. Besides the mother and
son, other surviving relatives are
the bereaved mother and father,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. F. Bonaime, and
three sisters, Margaret, Alice and
Florence, who reside in the parent
al home in this city.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday afternoon at the form
er home, Roseau, where friends of
the family gathered at the Eng
fish Lutheran Church to show their
respects to the former home town
boy. Private funeral services will
be conducted at the home in this
city Friday afternoon and inter
ment will be made in Greenwood
cemetery.
Rev. Thorley Johnson, pastor of
the Congregational Church, will
conduct the service in this city.
The following will be pallbearers:
Paul Kuefler, P. v. Michels, Ro-
bert Vandesteeg, Dewey O'Gara,
Ray Hillerud and Charles Rattle.
The sympathy Of a large group
of friends and acquaintance in
this community goes out to the
bereaved family. The sudden death
and loss of dear son should find
compensation in the fact that he
did his duty in the face of death,
and that more than life itself he
valued the safety of his family.
We know Of no greater tribute
that could be paid to any man.

Visit to Huey
Reveals Little
Long, A Martyred Hero
Despite Fact He Left
louisiana In Debt
SEAFOOD POPULAR
Cotton Shows Little
Gains-National Defense
Brings Large Camps

"They just don't talk war;" was
the terse comment Of w. M. Parker
this week after his return with
Mrs. Parker from a two months
motor trip in the Old South, an
extended stay in the quaint old
city of New Orleans, in the state
where Huey p. Long is the marty
red hero of the people.
"You wouldn't know there's a
war going on" was Mr.. Parker's
statement. The Southerner simply
does not let 1t bother him. They
talk far less about it's implications
than do people of this midwest who
in turn are less concerned than
those on the eastern seaboard.
Economically national defense is
making its inroads in the South
where camps are springing up. One
now under construction near New
Orleans will house $4,000 men on
completion.
Cotton, age old king of the
South, has showed surprisingly
small gains under the pressure
Of defense production. In spite
Of the fact that cotton is nee
essary material in war produc-
ton, planters point out the
conservation program which
limits cotton acreage, has cut
their individual production to a
point where 1t scarcely yields
sufficient income.
Apparently, under the present
program, the South is not depend
ing on cotton alone to be the goose
that lays the golden egg.
But things like war and econom-
ic reverses fail to affect the South
ern frame of mind as they do with
us in the north, Mr.. Parker pointed
out. He fixes this ability to take
things in stride to a certain tenn
perment of the Southern people.
They're easy going" he said. IF
they like, they take three hours
for lunch. They're unhurried. Moth
ing troubles them. The Southern
er will think of himself, his family
and his pleasures first and his
business second"
"Huey Long is the most popular
man Louisiana ever had" was his
comment after he had seen parks,
streets, a three million dollar
bridge and monuments all erected
in the memory of this colorful gov
ernor who was assassinated. Mr..
Parker talked with a political writ
er for a New Orleans newspaper

Will Sponsor Booth
Embodying Five-Point
Program In 8 Counties

Plans for participation and CO.
operation of several units of the
Future Farmers of America, Of
Sherburne, Benton and Stearns
Counties, in the Central Minnesota
Seed Show, were completed at a
meeting held in st. Cloud Saturday
evening. Under the conduct of the
st. Cloud Chamber of Commerce
this meeting opened with a six
o'clock dinner at the st. Cloud
hotel.
Attending from this city was Ed
Schwochert, agricultural instructor
of the public schools, who with 9TH
er FLA. leaders, pledged support
of the groups to sponsor a booth
under the five-point program. This
booth will portray the work Of the
FLA. as it pertains to the pro-
gram which includes the all-day
school, evening school, part-time
school, community service work
and the FLA. program in general.
The FLA. is included as the ma
jor part of the five-point program.
Under the plan these leaders of
the Future Farmers of America
have been asked to take a greater
part in this show, and they there
fore have agreed to sponsor the
booth not only as a seed display,
but as display depicting the work
of vocational departments of the
FLA.
The FLA. has been asked to aid
in a determined effort to make the
1871 Central Minnesota Seed Show
the biggest in it's 20-year history,
and plans for the event were start
ed Saturday when the executive
committee met in the offices Of tho
st. Cloud Chamber Of Commerce,
show sponsors.
The premium list for the ap-
preaching show, which is booked
for March u, % and 20 at the St..
Cloud armory, was edited by the
committee and a numeber of new
classifications added. The section
Of women's entries, which was I'M
dertaken for the first time last
year, was substantially expanded
and a number Of new fields of
competition included.
Complete Encouragement of the
exhibits in the armory was also
planned, with additional booths
provided for All exhibitors and
with new equipement ordered to
enhance the display Of seed and
crop entries.
Also planned at the Saturday ses-
sion was new procedure in hand

MANY SUFFER COLD
Several Found To Seek
Refuge At Farm
Homes Along Highway

Sidney Bonaime, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. F. Bonaime, of this city,
who resided at Tilden Junction,
Minnesota, gave his life in an hero
ic effort to save the lives Of his
wife and three-year-old son during
the ferocious blizzard which dashed
Minnesota, North Dakota and near
by states Saturday night and Sun
day morning.
This storm, which claimed the
lives Of more than seventy people
and did untold property damage,
in its sudden fury made escape i'm
possible for many and subjected
countless others to the rigors of
severe cold and an unusual gale.
Mr.. Bonaime, station agent at
Tilden Junction, 16 miles east of
Crookston, was found dead Mon
day afternoon along the railroad
right-of-way after a thirty-six
hour search.

they had purchased supplies for
the home, when the storm hit. At
a point near Marcoux Corner,
few miles from their home, the car
slid off the highway. Mr.. Bonaime
went to nearby farm to obtain
aid, and returned with a team of
horses with which he attempted
to tow the car. When his attempts
failed he wrapped his wife and
child in the blankets from the
horses and started the return trip
to the farm. That was the last
time he was seen by his wife.
Mrs. Bonaime and child were
found safe in the car Sunday morn
ing and were taken to safety.
s. F. Bonaime, the father, and
Miss Alice Bonaime, sister, went to
Marcoux when the family in this
city were notified that the son
was among the large list Of miss
ing. They left for Marcoux Cor
ner Sunday night from where the
search was directed.

Storms Of other days in the MEM
cries Of pioneers were recalled fol-

storm brought back memories of
one which occurred in this vicinity
on October Is, 1880.
H. p Howard, former resident
Of Sank Centre, who now resides
in Minneapolis, in a letter dated
March 10, 1914, wrote:
1.-THE late storm reminds me of
another storm that likewise came
without warning, with great loss of
life, livestock and even wild game,
in the vicinity Of Sank Centre,
where 7 then lived and attended
school.
"This storm came out Of a clear
sky on a warm October day, late
in the afternoon. The date was
October Is, but I am not certain
whether the year was 1880 or 1881.
1T would be very interesting II
the old files Of the Herald would
give your readers an account of
that terrible blizzard"
Checking the early files Of the
Herald we found the storm occur
