CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAMS
PLEASE MILBANH PEOPLE
The first number of the chautauqua
course was given Saturday afternoon
by Hazel Beck with and the Five Violin
Girls. The program was splendid
consisting of musical and vocal num
bers with a violin and flute duet and
impersonations. The program was
very much appreciated the audi
ence as was evidenced by the hearty
applause. A shower of rain during
the last part made the work of the
artists doubly difficult. They also
played for the first part of the pro
gram in the evening, after which Dr.
Wm. Rader gave his lecture on "Uncle
Sam and American Ideals."
Dr. liader gave an inspiring address
touching upon the things other than
material that go to make the great
ness of America, now generally ac
knowledged by the world, He assert
ed that her greatness lay in the moral
qualities of her citizenship—that the
nation itself could not rise above the
average of the individuals of which
it was composed, and that the home
life was the root from which the tree
ofnational greatness must spring. He
inslaned Burns' "Cotter's Saturday
Night" and Whittier's "Snow-bound
as a picture of the ideal American
home, and the ideal which had made
America great. The speaker stated
that the making, unmaking and re
making of manhood and womanhood
was a more impoitant job than any
thing the politicians or statesmen had
on hand. The speaker ilustrated his
talk with countless instances of per
sonal experiences and incidents told
in a pleasing and convincing manner,
and with a delightful humor that
kept his audiejice from any sense of
weariness, and made his every point
a telling one. It was a lecture which
every patriot could heartily enjoy and
endorse.
Rain, mud and .p."?or connections
from Siseton to this city delayed"the
Sunday afternoon program one hour.
The program consisted of a prelude
by the comedian, Walter Eckles and
a pianist, "Brother Bill" Townsend.
They were very much enjoyed by ijie
audience and heartily applauded at
their evening appearance. The lec
ture in the afternoon and the ser
tmmette in the evening by Yutaki
Minaknchi, a Jap, were thoroly ap
preciated by the people who heard
him. Altho Mr. Minaknchi spoke with
a foreign accent and the audience had
to follow him closely to understand
him, the lecture contained such an
interesting message that they were
held snell-bound during the address
He spoke of a rumored Jap-American
war, which he declared was impos
sible and entirely unthought of by the
people of Japan. He declared it the
greatest of folly for Japan to even
think of attacking America, her best
customer and largest creditor, and as
sured the audience that on the other
hand Japan would go a long waysto
avoid trouble with the United States.
He gave reasons and statistics to
prove his point and impressed the
crowd of his intense Americanism. He
is a citizen of this country, having
lived here for 23 years. He has studi
ed in four of America's greatest uni
versities and declared that he wpuld
Jive, dae -4Md -4m .tallied in America
His talk in the evening was the
ChristbnNIHovi of the foreign coun
tries, declaring that the foundation
(con. on back page)
using missionary fields in Alsace, Lor-,
raine, Poland, Finland, Denmark, and
also in large areas of South Amer
ica. The treasurer of state district re
ported that $26,852 were, collected in
our district for various missionary
purposes.

bined with a petition from over 400
residents of the city asking that the

tion Monday, June 27th. The ques
tion to be placed before the people
's that of approving a bond is
•"Ue of j$50,0C0.
While the bond issue is to be de
cided immediately the council will not
go ahead with the actual plans of the
building until times are normal. This
assurance coupled with the fact that
operations could not poi-sibly be start-
ed for some time, will mean that there and^fciva Murray.
f*ould not possibly be any increase in
the tax of the city until 1929
But for the sake of argument, if
the 6Ky were to bear the entire cost
of upkeep and maintenance, would it
Hot'be worth it to know that the boys
and girls of the city have a safe
place in which to spend their leisure
hours? Would it not be worth it to
have n large auditorium where enter
tainments, school plays, meetings, and
dances could be givgn, at a nominal
cost? Would you not take pride
such a building as marking the pro
gressiveness and community spirit of
the city
Investigate this proposition, go to
the members of the city council and
ask them about it. It irfthe biggest
step forward that Milbank has ever
put before the people for approval and
one that will mark the progress of the
city for years to come. DO YOUR"

The interes'c and mainlainence costs
will be taken care of by the 1NCOMB

there be any added taxes the amount
will be very VERY small indeed.
The auditorium will he rented to or
ganizations and bodies for private or

of course have the u««fc of the build

will have rooms in the building will
undoubtedly care for the furnishing*
of their quarters and pay a nominal

The city and perhaps the county will Mrs. Andrew
contribute toward the upkeep accord
ing to the use which they make of the
building.. The gymnasium, swiming
pool and «-trier entertainment fea
tures of the building will necessarily
charge a rmall sum to pay for their
upkeep. These charges will be small
yet enough to pay the maintenance
costs, so that the Milbank citizens
need not fear added taxes.

BOND ELECTION FOR
COMMUNITY BUILDING
The demand for a community build
ing has been growing so rapidly that
the city council has decided to sub
mit the question to the electors ijr
order to ascertain if a good majority
of our citizens are in favor of sudi
a building and to warrant the city
council in going ahead and securing
the necessary plans and specification*
at this time. The only way that tho lnumy.
council can get this matter before tlie
electors under our laws, is by a bond
election.
The members of the council, how
ever, do not believe that actual con
stiuction should be undertaken as'
long as conditions remain unsettled.
In all probability a large sum of
money can be saved by waiting a
reasonable length of time. Then, too
die question of taxes must be consid
ered. Our citizens can feel sure that
the Council will do nothing along this
line which will affect their taxes for
at least two years and then the a
mount assessed against each individ
ual will be very small.
It is impossible to estimate the
great value of a properly equipped
and maintained Community Building.
It will not only furnish Milbank with
i\ much needed auditorium but will
supply us with many other advantage^
which will be greatly appreciated by
everyone. Its influence for good will
be far reaching.
The ity council feels that it is of
great importance that the building
be properly planned. In order to
avoid making any serious mistakes
several months should be spent in
the study of different plans. It,
therefore, becomes necessary for the
council to know the wish of the ma
jority of the people at once so that
when the times are again normal
every detail will have been worked
*ut and we ean proceed without any
griat delay. By proceeding in this
way the people can feel sure that
they are securing the greatest value
possible for the money spent.
When our building completed it
will be a structure that will appeal
to every citizen of Milbank something
they can point to with pride &n4 sat
isfaction as long as tbev live.
