think of patriotism, and heroism,
and sacrifice, and fearless, unques
tioning devotion to duty, when
we remember the Lrave men, of
the North and South, who gave
their lives to a cause they believ

We formally decorate their grav

Mayor's Notice To Bicycle Riders
There is an ordinance against rid
ing bicycles on the side walks in Can
ton. Riding bicycles on the side
walks is both dangerous and annoying
and must be stopped. The violation
of this law Is conti ned largely to young
people who undoubtedly break the
law thoughtlessly. This is the reason
for this notice. I wish to notify vio
lators of this law first, that they may
avoid arrest. After Tuesday, May 25,
the 'police department will arrest all
persons who ride bicycles on the side
walks.
M. BENNETT, Mayor.
*''Slowed up', at Middle Age

Canton is the only respectable town
in South Dakota that has no night
watch or police on duty when honest
people are in bed and asleep. It is a
mistake and when the danger has
come and passed and we realize what
might have been, it will be too late to
prevent loss and destruction. Fire is
more to be dreaded:than thieves, yet
a good watchman, one not afraid to
do his whole duty, might save us from
robbers and tire at the same time.
Let the mayor and council take this
matter up at once. The very fact
that men with crowbars worked so
hard and with suchlttne results on the
iron bars of,the jail window in open
view of two well traveled streets, is
evidence that those same men could
have gone through any store, or two
or three stores, in town and put 20
miles between them and danger be
fore discovery. It is a disgrace to our
Intelligence and knowledge, and know
ingas we do how easy it Is to raid
any store in town and go away with
perfect freedom. Our defenseless con
dition invitesithieves, and our people
are alone to,blame if they are robbed
and skinned. Some good man ought
to be put on duty at 9 o'clock p. m.
and he could keep a successful watch,
until daylight.

City Jtistlce Forrest {performed his
first marriage ceremony last Tuesday.
Perry LaDeue aud Mis# Christiana
Peterson of Alcester, Union county,
were the happy mortals thus united,
The ceremony took place at the re
sidence of Mr. Forrest.
Safety First.
Isaac Einstein, a rich old Hebrew
had three daughters. When the old
est got married he was in high spirits
and told her he would give her 11,000
for every son and daughter she might
be blessed with. She and her husband
moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, and one
day about a year after the marriage,
Mr. Einsteid rpcQived the following
telegram:
"Twins.. Remember your promise."
Einstein was surprised, of course, but
be was game aud sent the two thou
sand.
In the course of time the second
daughter, who had the same promise,
got married and moved to Three
Rivers, Mich. A year passed, Einstein
was expecting a telegram, but he
wasn't looking for this:
"Triplets. Two bbys and a girl."
Einstein began to think he was ex
ceeding the speed limit in acquiring
grandchildren. He didn't like to en
courage such recklessness, but he was
no quitter and as soon as be bad suffi
ciently recovered from the shock he
sent the three thousand.
Finally the third daughter, who was
also in on the promise, got 'married.
It was not fully decided where she
was to live, but by this time sugges-y
tive names had made Einstein a bit
superstitious, and before she departed
on her wedding trip, he took her aside
and said:
"Louisa, I hope you vlll flnt a nice
place to lif, but for Got's sake stay
away from dem T'ousand Isles."
Reading Circle Notes
Thursday, May 20, 1915, the "Read
ing Circle" was entertained by Mrs.
Judith Gulbraudsen. Mrs. Bessie
Anderson was sent to represent the
"Club" at the meeting of the "dis
trict federation" at Sioux Falls. The
next meeting of the Reading Circle
will be held at the home of Mrs. Anna
Bragstad, JuneS, 1915. (Sec.)
Col. McDermott with the aid of A.
S. McCurdy and Tom Thackery, of
Fairview will bold a race meet next
Saturday at the fair-grounds. There
wil be several good horses entered and
a first class meet is guaranteed.
The LEADKB understands that un
der the new law it is Impossible to
punish a person from breaking Iquar
antine. It is known that people with
small-pot in their home were seen on
the streets of Canton ancf also were
under quarantine. The law that al
lows people to run loose with coota
geous desease germs about them ex
posing the general public Is a joke
and its formers should be placed in a
"pest" house for awhile.
