LeMars Sentinel newspaper
Dated June 4, 1918

The collectors for the Red Cross made things hum last week.  They
reported that it was an easy task to raise our allotted quota, everyone
seeming willing and eager to subscribe.

Miss Lila Darville, living south west of Carnes, who graduated at the
LeMars high school last week, won the distinction of being one of the
six honor pupils in a class of twenty-six.  To be enrolled in the honor
band a percentage of over ninety for the entire four years must be
acquired.  With the exception of one the honor class was composed of
girls, which proves that the brain of the female specie is far stronger
and superior to that of the male and no one can gainsay it.

Mr. and Mrs. Jake Porter and family attended a family reunion Saturday
at the home of Mrs. Porter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Heemstra, of
Orange City, in commemoration of the latter's fortieth anniversary.  The
party was gotten up by the children of Mr. and Mrs. Heemstra as a
surprise.  Fine refreshments were served by the perpetrators during the
day.  The reunion will be long treasured in the hearts of those in
attendance as a tender memory of an occasion which will probably never
again be sanctified by an unbroken band.

REMSEN:  (From: The Bell Enterprise)

Clarence Beck went to Omaha Monday and offered his services to the
government, enlisting in the Radio section of the Navy.  He was ordered
to report in Sioux City.

C. J. Koerner attended a family reunion at the home of his mother, Mrs.
Bertha Koerner, at LeMars on Thursday evening, complimentary to his
brother, Albert, who left for Camp Lewis, Wash., Friday morning.  Mr.
Koerner has been manager of the telegraph office at Aberdeen, S.D., for
the past five years.

Miss Marion Cooley, teacher in the Remsen public schools for the past
two years, left Friday morning for her home in Waterloo, Ia., and after
a short visit there with her parents, went to Bernardsville, N.J., where
she has a government position, of which she is to take charge June 1st.
Miss Cooley will have charge, as manager, in food conservation work.
