ALL SET FOR BIG
DAY NEXT THURSDAY
Everything is in readiness for the
Rig Legion Celebration next'Thurs
day. The Chautauqua tent where the
Minstrel show will be held arrived
-thi: week. Many concessions have
been sold for stands along- the streets
that the people will have ample op
Jportunity to find amusement between
"the stunts planned by the Legion. A
full program is given else where in
this issue. The Legion has gone to
a great deal of expense to secure the
attractions for this day and it will
be the biggest celebration ever held
toy them. The Dispatch Flying Cir
cus is a $1,000 attraction, which is
Tield at all of the big fairs and cele
brations in the country. The boxing
•and wrestling exhibitions are first
class entertainment for everyone.
"The price of 50c admission to these
•exhibitions and in addition the ball
•game is something out of the
Merchants are requested to decor
ale
the fronts of their stores with
bunting, flags and colors and to leave
their window lights burning until 11
P. M. on Legion Day so as'to brighten
up the street and make Milbank a live
town.
There has been some talk as to the
legality of the boxing exhibition
scheduled for Legion Day. It is to
be
merely an exhibition, given by men
•who have offered their services to
help make the day a success. It will
be
a no-decision sparring exhibition,
not a prize fight or knockout boxing
matrh.
Ex-service men are requested to
"wear their uniforms on Legion Day.
The ^tate bonus officer will be present
at the Bonus information booth at
the Wood Farm Mortgage office and
lefinate infoimation will be given as
to what must be done to get the bo
nus. All men must register at this
booth on that day.
Auxiliary Bo#
The Auxiliary will have a booth on
Legion Day where "hot dog" sand
wiches and ice cold pop can be se
cured all day long. The ladies have
had considerable experience in serv
ing the ex-ervice men and it will be
a good place to lunch when you get
hungry on that day.
Membership Drive
Quite a large number of applica
tions have been turned in for new
members to the post, but a big rush
is expected during the last week of
the campaign. The drive will close on
ILegion Day and the winners will be
announced at the show. A little effort
on the part of every man will beort
the total and Birch post will be able:
to win the membership banner. Get1
jNNir member.
J. E. McDougal, of Britton, repre
senting the state bonus board, was in
the city yesterday and met with the
"Grant county bonus board, who will
have charge of the bontit distribution
for the county. L. N. Saunders has
jfceen appointed as bonus officer and
the Wood Farm Mortgage company
office will be the headquarters. Have
your discharge papers with you and
be prepared to register on Legion day.

LocagBuiMSS Activities
"Work was started on the excavating
for a large addition to be built on the
Patridge Bros, garage. The new ad
dition will be one story, of brick and
concrete, which will give them addi
tional space for a show room, stock
room and machine shop. Special new
machinery built for repairing or mak
ing Ford parts will be installed, and
the new machine shop was necessary.
The addition will extend to the alley
on the east side of the present struc
ture.
Mrs. Julia Lindquist moved to the
Htles building, recently purchased by
Ed. Engle. The building has been
completely repaired and painted. Mrs.
Lindquist will remain there for some
time.
Joe Salzle, who purchased the build
ing now being vacated by Mrs. Lind
quist will go to work immediately in
stalling wall cases and fixtures pre
paratory to starting his grocery busi
ness again. He plans to be open for
business soon, possibly before the end
of
the month.

ordinary
but the Legion post wishes to give the
people
lots
of entertainment for as
little money as possible. The price
of the Minstrel show in the evening
has been reduced to 75c for adults
and 25c. for children and it is expect
«ed that everyone will take advantage
of this to see the show once again.
CITY SCHOOLS
NEED MORE ROOM
At the recent meeting of the
Board of Education the question of
providing more room for the con
stantly increasing school attendance
was discussed. The rooms in some
of the grades are already over-crowd
ed, and inquiries develop the fact
that at the opening of the school
term this fall the present school
room will be totally inadequate, and
provision muft be made for at least
one more room, or there will be twen
ty-five or thirty children deprived of
school privileges. The board has
been looking for a suitable room to
lease for temporary use until a per
manent building can be erected, the
boy scout building, the basement par
lors of the Methodist church and the
Odd Fellows building have been sug
gested as possibly availah'e, but the
indications are that the Scout build
ing is the only one that can be obtain
ed. This at the present time is the
most logical solution of the question.
Another suggestion has been made
that a temporary frame building be
erected on the school grounds for the
accommodation of one or more grades.
The building could be so constructed
that it afterwards could be transform
ed into a dwelling house, or cottage
and sold when a permanent building
had been securer!,

Milbank Defeats Nassua 7-4
The Milbank baseball team defeat
ed the Nassau nine at thai place last
Sunday by the score of 7-4. Nassau
had si$. straight games to its credit
before this contest. The losers are
coming here for a return game and
with the ambition to even the score.
Nick Peschong was on the mound
for the locals and pitched a good game
with air-tight support behind him.
Doc. Kirchner was behind the bat,
Paul Calfee at short, Pete Peschong
at first. Shorty Krause at second, L.
J. Manley at third and Jimmie Ker
nan, Frank Shea and Walter Dau
man in the out field.
A game with Watertown is sched
uled for next Sunday and a game with
Crtonville for Legion day, and the
fans ought to see some good ball in
both games.

Paving Practically Completed
The last of the nine blocks of pav
ing wiil be completed the latter part
of this week, only a small part of the
intersection at the Berkner garage
corner being unfinished Thursday
night. The Campbell Construction
company is doing the work.
The first concrete was poured in
the fall of 1919, at the Court House
corner, which was held up by the
early winter. This had to be remov
ed in the spring of 1920 when the
work was resumed. The work was
completed last fall with the exception
of one-half block east of Main street
in front of the Court House and one
and a half blocks on Second street.
These two pieces were started and
.completed this spring.
The paving of the alley in block
7 has been approved of by the citv
council and bids are to be received
June Ifith for this work. The Camp
bell Construction company will also
bid on this job it is understood
The completion of this paving gives
Milbank the distinction of being one
of the smallest cities in the state
having paved streets and the White
Way. The first impresion given the
people coming to the city is a last
ing one and Main street is a splendid
advertisement for the city. It will
undoubtedly be only the start of con
crete paving, both in the city and the
county, as when the value of it is
practically demonstrated, there will
be call for more of it as time passes.

ERLANDSON & JOHNSON
CD'S STOREBliRGLARIZED
The Erlandson & Johnson Co. store
was entered Wednesday night and
about $(5 worth of clothing stolen.
The job was done by someone who
was entirely familiar with the store
and the workings of the place as all
evidence showed. The entrance was
made thru ihc rear window on the
-•outhwest corner. The window stops,
were all carefully removed, the win
dows placed aside and the inside pan
el, which was held in place by a cross
bar, whittling until there was room
enough, to admit the hand. With this
^iart, he med a stick to push up the
bar so the panel could be removed.
This occurred about one o'clock, as
both the DeHercq and Conright fam
ilies remrmbr"* of hearing noises in
the rear of the store to which they
paid no attention.
The thief th*n made his way io the
suit rack md carefully selected a
suit, took two pair of shoes, neckties,
shirts and two hats. The ca-di regis
ter drawers were open and he collect
»ed that was in them. A locked draw
er In the desk was pried open,

nothing was taken.
