An interesting wedding ceremony
was performed at the home of Mr,
and Mrs. W. L. Ross on Saturday
last when their eldest daughter,
Jennie Esther, was married to Con
rad Jacobson, of Lyons, Neb.
The bride Is one of tne esteemed
young ladies of Dakota City, where
most of her life has been spent.
She graduated from the local high
school, and after graduating from
Morningsido college she returned to
be teacher, of the primary room here.
Her work in that department has
been thorough and highly appreciat
ed. She has also been of inestima
ble service in the local M. E. church
where her teaching and musical
ability will be sorely missed.
Mr. Jacobson was the superintend
ent of tho local school three years
ago and his frequent visits since
that date have paved the way lor
last Saturday's ceremony. His gain
is Dakota City's loss.
At 2 o'clock, before tho family
and a few intimate friends, the pro
ceedings opened with a solo, chosen
by the bride, and rendered by Mrs.
F. J. Aucock. The bridal march
from Wagner's "Lohengrin" was
played by Miss Marie Ross. Bister of
the bride, while the bridal party
took their places. The bride was
supported by Miss Genevieve Balcom,
and the groom by his brother, Al
bert Jacobson. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. F.J. Aucock.
After the services lunch was served
by the bride's parents.
Among the'guests were Miss Ge
nevieve Balcom, Sioux City; Albert
Jacobson, and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Jacobson, Sloan, la.: Mrs. Win Ful
ler, Emerson, Neb.; Mrs. F. D.
Fales, Ponca, Neb.; Miss Fern Ver
non, Dixon, Neb.; Miss Gladys Orr,
George C. Orr, Siot c City; J. W.
Turnbull, South Sioux City; Mr. and
J. B. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. C. Linton,
Miss Olive Stinson, Rev. and Mrs. F.
J. Aucock, Miss Clara Cook, Dakota
City.
A number of handsome wedding
nresents were received by the bridal
couple, among them being a fine
Chickering piano, a gift from the
groom to the bride.
The young couple will make their
home at Lyons, Neb., and the Herald
joins with their friends, in Dakota
City in wishing them a long, pros
perous, and happy life together.
Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA C1TY-SALEM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
"The Sabbath was made for man,
not man for the Sabbath." God did
not make a system and then put
men into the system, he made the
system about man as the center. It
took a good many years to prepare
the world for men to live in. Men
could not live on the moon, for there
is no atmosphere, tho some sort of
animals that do not breathe might.
Thnf. ia hut one illustration to show
that the world was made such than
men might live in it. At least we
can say that the great world system
is coordinated. So men were not
made that they might hallow a cer
tain day. but the day was set aside
fr men to hallow because it was
rrrA Vi. mnn rPUia 1U flln llrtfrOrt nf
JUUU 1U1 II1UII. Ainu n ..- ,.. .-w v..
the maker. And who knows what
is better for tho creature than the
maker.
But is it really true? does it work
out in life? We hold to an eight
hour day, because it is proven by
experience that a man can do as.
much work in eight hours as in ten.
One of our men has proven to his
corn huskers that he can shuck as
much corn before a six o'clock sup
per as he can a later one. It is
more easily demonstrable that a man
can do more work in six days than
he can working every day without a
rest day. The French a hundred
years ago tried to make every tenth
day a rest day and found it not
enough and had to come hack to
seven. I was asking a merchant not
long ago concerning the closing his
business Sunday. It is the custom
with that business to be open all day
Sunday. He had a competitor in
tho town who was open all day Sun
day. 1 asked him if he found his
trade going to his competiror be
cause he was closed. He said they
did if they wanted anything, but he
held his custom, and while other ad
vantages were with his competitor,
the store had changed hands a num
ber of times since he had been in
liUHiness.
Our little city is open up and down
the street part or all the day Sunday.
I asked one of our uierchuiita as to
putting on the lid all day Sunday.
He said his customers would go to
his competitor in a huff if he did not
accommodate them Sunday. Our
people are not different from those
in other towns as to these things.
litis not likely the merchant's fears
would materalize. But it is not en
tirely our merchants fault but tne
whole people's. Many do not get
their supplies Saturday, and think
they must have them Sunday, and so
the merchants offer to acemmodate
the public, so they lose part of their
Sunday rest.
It is God's command to rest on the
Sabbath and it is therefore right.
It is the best interest of each man
practically to observe the day of rest.
Therefore the storekeepers should
discourage all Sunday buying, not
In sav thev should clamp down the
lid and sell nothing, and the people
who do the buvimr ought to get the
the habit of buying Saturday. It is
just as easy to buy Saturday as it is
to do buying before G o'clock in the
city.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
WILFRED E. VOSS, SUPT,
In order to accommodate a few
of the teachers and others well pre
pared to take examinations in coun
ty certificate subjects, an examina
tion will be offered on Friday and
Saturday, June 15th and 16th.
Those who wish to contract early
this year for their schools should
avail themselves of this opportunity
to complete their certificates, if pos
sible. However, no one should come
to try to take these examinations,
but should come prepared to take
them. We have already had too
many earn grades by coming time
after time to try examinations, to
locate some easy set of questions,
and to fool the examiner into believ
ing that they really know enough to
warrant passing them. Neither the
school boards nor the county super
intendent of this county are looking
for that type of person for a teacher.
Neither do they even care for such
persons to earn teachers' grades
without present intentions to teach,
for a few of them are almost bound
to load themselves onto tho profes
sion of teaching later on. School
boards are reporting such type of
persons among our teachers, and
want to know how they come to
hold certificates. The county super
intendent has had to explain in a
a way how this happens, and prom
ised school boards some protection
against the poor teacher. His word
service is going to bo followed by
further attention to tho demands
of the schools.
