During the month of May, fifty
years ago. the country was alive
with the preparations that were be-
ing made for war.
The first flush of confidence in the
short-lived nature Of the conflict was
still glowing and peace was declared
to be only ninety days away.
How those ninety days dragged
into the months and months and
these into the long, bitter years, is
the story that is to be told in The
Gazette, week by week, beginning
next Tuesday.
All arrangements for this series Of
historical articles have been com
aleted, and the first number will ap
gear without fail on Memorial day

FORMER FIGHTER HERE
J. w. Sornberger Speaks to Big
Audience at Presbyterian
Church; Tells of Work

Il admire Redwood Falls, it's peo-
pie, its churches, its public buildings
and shady streets; but most Of all |
admire what you have not, saloons. !"
These were the opening words of j..
w. Sornberger' address at the Pres
byterian church on Sunday evening.
From this he told of the work and
life of the lumberjacks and the work
of Skypilot Higgins and himself
among those men. Mr.. Sornberger
was not always minister. He says:
81 have been shot five times, was
prize fighter for ten years and
have been carried on the shoulders
of cheering mobs, have been cook
in lumber camp and a robber of
blind pigs"
| This suggests the quiet and un-
eyentful career he has led. Two Of
the carelessly fired bullets are still
in his body. two were removed and
one passed through. He was shot
| in playful little gun fights at a time
when he held his life as worth no
more than the other fellows, unless
he could draw quicker.
These things are of the past to
Mr.. Sornberger who for five years
has labored with the lumberjacks oil
northern Minnesota, trying to con
vince them of the error of their
ways. In hundreds of cases he has
succeeded. He is no longer after
the shout of the ringside crowd OIL
i'll gotten wealth but nov am after
souls" he says.
He believes in men. he declares
in bad men. He says if a man cal
do the things he has done and b.
"regenerated" there is hope fol
every man who enters the lumbe
camp. no matter how bad he ma.
be. ! Mr.. Sornberger isnot the mai
to turn aside because a fellow j
down on his lnck." 1t was of thu
work he is doing in the north and tn
lives the men lead and the lives al
men should lead that he spoke to al
audience that packed the church t
its capacity Sunday evening, man.
who wished to hear him being turne'
away.

These are some of the things
which George Welsh, state immi-
grafton commissioner, had to say
about the crop outlook in Redwood
county Saturday.
He is enthusiastic about the out
look but his opinion was not formed
until he had ridden Is miles through
the county in an automobile. With
every mile travelled his confidence
increased until he reached tie point
where he exclaimed:
CROPS NEVER LOOKED BETTER
Crops never looked better in this
county during the past 40 years. |
have had great deal of experience
with the crops of this section and
know that there is in prospect one
of the finest crops Redwood ever
harvested.
There is no excuse for talking
about rain. Why, if not another
drop fell between now and harvest
am sure there would be strong
average yield of wheat. Barley and
oats would be light but wheat would
| be strong. The meadows of course
will need more rain and they will
get it.
SURPRISED AT CORN GROWTH
Il a 4 surprised to see corn as far
along as it is. The farmers are be-
ginning to cultivate it and many
fields are up so the rows can be
easily seen the length of the field"
Mr.. Welsh was in Redwood Falls
on his way to Echo where he has a
large farm. He reported things in
a highly satisfactory condition on
his place. He returned to st. Paul
Saturday afternoon.
1t is evident that the copious rains
of the last week have been instru-
mental in bringing the crops for
ward rapidly ard the farmers
are the most 1T residents IN
this county.

LEADS ALL IN HEALTH
Redwood County Praised For
Low Death Rate By State
Health Officer.

Redwood county has 'em all look
ing sick when it comes to question
of health.
The death rate here is so low that
DIR. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the
state board of health, writes to
know if there has not been some
mistake made. w. G. Weldon, clerk
of court, hastens to assure the
doubling secretary that everything
is on the square, and the death rate
is what it is because of the climate,
sunshine and good food prevailing
in great chunks.
DR.. Bracken says:
DIR. C. L. Wilbur, chief statisti-
clan of the census bureau, Washing
ton, has tabulated the returns of
deaths in Minnesota for 1910 by
months for each county and taking
the population of the county area
has worked out the death rate per
thousand population. DR.. Wilbur's
position is that certain counties in
Minnesota show rather low death
rate. Your county is one OF this
group showing a death rate of but
7.2 while the death rate for the state
at large, exclusive of the three large
cities, Duluth, st. Paul and Mime
apolis, is 1913. Can you give me any
explanation of why your county
should have such low death rate!
Do you think it is because some OF
the registrars have failed to report
in full?"
Mr.. Weldon thinks the list as given
is practically complete and that
salubrious atmosphere and the de.
lights of the banana belt" account
for the figures which startled the
Doctor.
Inquiry shows that pneumonia
caused the most deaths of any dis
ease in. this county last year, q
deaths resulting from it.

Small Grain Would Mature

George Welsh on Redwood County Crops.

"Small grain is better and far

on Mrs. Barker, planned and executed
on short notice by her daughter. Mrs.
Whittier and others. We are under
bonds of secrecy not to reveal all Of
the events leading up to the event at
this time. we may say that Mrs. Bar
ker is a good deal of conspirator in
such events and the event of last Sat
urday evening were in some degree
evening up old scores. 1t was about
eight clock in the evening when the
festivities began and they were con-
tinued until the commencement of the
Sabbath. Very soon after the last
straggler had arrived the coffee was
put to brew, and preparations made to
pass the ample provisions Of chicken,
pies, cakes. fruit. etc. brought by the
guests. While the lunch was being
prepared, Mrs. A. Pischel and Miss

ing with fine duet, and songs were
sung in which several joined, the more
lively inclined went out into the yard
and played pub away by moonlight.
When supper was announced all hands
fell to and did ample justice to the
good things. Jay Miller and Fred
