J- 1Qere na way we ON INTERIOR OF LARGE EDIFICE First Lutherans Install $16,000 Organ and Otherwise Complete Structure BIG EVENT IS PLANNED Four Days to Be Devoted to Celebration Many Dignitaries' Will Take Part Having sat every Sunday during the past five years on home-made pews, gazed at unpainted walla and makeshift altar furniture, and listened to an old. pipe organ, members of the First Lutheran church will soon have a completed church.

Workmen have been busy during the summer completing the interior of the building, one of the "largest and finest church edifices in the city, and preparations are now under way for dedication of the completed structure some time in November, depending on the time installation of the pews is completed. The basement is being used while the work is in progress. The new work is being done at a cast of approximately S35.0OO, which was subscribed bv members and friends of the congregation in a campaign last spring. Completion of the church will bring its value to more than $275,000. This monumental piece of work has not been done without effort.

Organizations within the congregation have exerted labor and genius to raise money to pay for the original construction as well as to add necessary equipment for the bare: structure which was erected five years ago. Men of the church made the temporary pews, laid floors, and landscaped the exterior. The Ladles' Aid, Fidelia girls, and Sunday school have furnished equipment for the Sunday school. Countless bake sales, rummage sales, ice cream socials and similar events have been held as means of obtaining more money to go ahead. National Officials Expected When the church finally is dedicated complete some time in November it will be with auspicious ceremonies.

The dedication proper will take place on a Sunday afternoon, in the presence of officials of the national church organization, as well as clergy and laitv from a wide area near Sioux Falls. On the same Sunday there will be a special children's morning serv. ice with an outside speaker and musical program in the evening. On Monday and Tuesday them will be a pastoral conference, Tuesday evening a banquet, and on Wednesday evening a civic program at which members of other churches in the citv will be asked to participate and help celebrate completion of the church. About a week before dedication of the church it is planned to have a public organ concert, or perhaps two of them, to celebrate installation of the new $18,000 Wurlitzer organ.

Ifas Fine Organ This organ, according to Dr. Car1. R. Younedahl, church organist and dean of the department of music at Aueustana college, is as fine as any in South Dakota, and there ere onlv two others of eaual size In the state. It has snlendid tone Quality and ranid electric action.

They were willing, courageous, energetic, but they were untrained and their services were more of a hindrance than a help, In spite of the good will which prompted their enlistment, A young English officer observing the fruitless efforts of these women thought how fine it would be if they could be trained in peace time just as soldiers are trained, through scoutcraft. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, whose work in the British armv was concerned with teaching young soldiers to become handy, capable men, instead of mere machines, some years after the end of the Boer war conceived the idea of training bovs along the same lines that he used with his military men. in order to give them a stronger grasp on life physically, socially and spiritually. This idea crew into the formation of the Boy scouts, wnose numbers now reacn into the hundred thousands and whose worth is recognized in both England and America.

They did not want to imitate the boys, but they wanted a line of their own. The former armv officer, with the help of his sister, outlined a plan for girls, designed a unitorm and formed the Girl Guides of England, who elected Lady Baden-poweu as tne uniei Guild, whose help and influence have spread the movement to most foreign countries.

Evening News, published Saturday, a.

copyrighted article on America's future, from which the following are excerpts. By CALVIN COOLIDGE WHILE we shall always look upon this period (the last SO years)' as one of the most interesting and important, and marked with events which will ever be of merited acclaim in world history, it will probably be eclipsed in many ways in the next half century. What changes are to take place cannot be foretold with anything like detail. But there appear to be certain tendencies of an irresistible nature along which the race is working that we may confidently expect will become more and more pronounced. The foremost of these is the movement toward unification.

This is based on better organized effort. It is not always popular, for it often seems at first to limit individual freedom of a(-tion. The necessaries and luxuries of life will be more abundant and the resources with which to secure them better distributed. This development will bring large wealth to some, perhaps a disproportionate wealth, but un-der our system of government that will take care of itself. a Our difficulty in this country has not been with wealth itself, but with the newly rich who lacked the character to use it wisely.

But, on the whole, we shall have a more even distribution of wealth and give the ordinary man new powers and new resources which he has not be fore enjoyed. Life will not be easy for those who trv to live by the old methods. With the increased use of machinery, with the growing comulexi- ty of existence, more and more training, skill and education will become necessary General education will be greatly increased. 1 Very little change is to be expected in the fundamentals of our government. It is to be honed that election methods will be improved.

While they are good on' the. whole, there are localities that nre greatly in need of purifica- tion. Primarflv the crime question Is a question of the attitude of the mav ors of our cities. Merely in self-defense, the citizens of the future will require the best type of public administrator to control our municipal governments. The societv of the future will require speedy trials, a procedur stripoed of technicalities, and all possible certainty that those known to be guiltv of crime shall be punished.

Security is so important and Justice is so necessary to the public, the danger of government opnression so remote in a republic, that the old methods will be discarded for a procedure that will be more effective in the protection of the rights of honest and law-abiding citizens. While some of the most skilled i practitioners think surgery has about reached its limits, medicine will make great strides in the future, esoeciallv on the ore-ventive end mental side, eliminating disease and prolonging life. What jacierioe and invention have in store for us we cannot ven estimate, but we know it will be stupendous. Ignorance, suoerst.ition and prejudice are going to play less and less art in ovr national life and intelligence, faith and toleration will be more and more prevalent. Our material values must not be oermitted to displace our spiritual values.

citadel is in the home. Their source i 1s in religion. Our progress will finallv depend on the faith of the people. I believe that the Indications point to a deepening of our national faith, an increasinst reverence for holv things, and more thorough, loval devotion to God. Therein lie all our hones.

Without such a manifestation of the public conscience, all else would be in vain. CANOYA SCHOOL PLANS TO GIVE SHOW OCT. 17 Canova. Oct, 11. A comedy that Is expected to produce plenty of mirth will be given by local talent in the school auditorium the night of October 17.

Perhaps she won this honor because her mother, Mrs. Arthur Olson of Wolsey believes in combining modern methods and common sense in her Tearing, or perhaps it is because she is fortunate enough to possess two adoring grandmothers, who contribute to her happiness.

Lots of fresh air, and sunshine and long hours of sleep in her own little bed have given this small girl both a sturdy, healthy body and a bright, cheerful disposition.
