OUR PRESIDENT

Woodrow Wilson stands today a,
the only man on earth exercising
power outside of his own country. IN
more than n figurative sense he is
the temporary ruler of the world
All hope Of the restoration of peace
sooner or later, must rest with him.
Meanwhile, the preservation Of neu,
trality by America, the Cancellation
of Mexico, the succor of all the ma
tons Of the earth devolve upon this
country. This prestige must be
maintained and this power eX els q
by the Chief Magistrate.
We believe that Woodrow Wilson i.
equal to the emergency, but his bur
dens are heavy and his personal an,
public trials grievous to be borne
He needs help. He needs the hell
which every loyal heart in Americi
can render him to a greater or lessel
degree.
No true American in youth or agt
ought to withhold this aid to tn,
President.-The Santa Cruz Surf.

The work done during the term in
camp will be the most strenuous the
Boys have ever undertaken during the
camping season and consists of out
door drills and the learning of tao
tics, which are very necessary part
of the required training.
The members of Company L, un-
der the direction of Capt. c.. F. Gal
les, and Lieuts. w. B. Clement and
John Lauterbach, marched to, the de-
pot about one o'clock where the spec
ial train of day coach, sleeper and
dining car was waiting for them.

"MODERN" HOME PROVIDED

The poultry yard which is one of
the newest additions to the home of
A. j. Weldon at Wabasso is one of
the busiest places in Redwood Coun-
ty at present especially at feeding
time when between 500 and 500 half

Mr.. Weldon's venture into the realm
of poultry is a new one, he having
made the initial step this spring. The
spot he has chosen for this new work
is admirably suited to the purpose
and consists of ten acres Icing on
the outskirts of the village of Wa

by close-mesh woven wire fence
and is absolutely chicken proof, in

planted apple trees and other shade

After Short Illness

Leo Aftermath, one of Redwood

Mr.. Aftermath was sixty-four years
old, born in Wisconsin, February %

them were born seven children of
which six remain with the mother TO

additions built as the parish grew
larger. The first mass said in this
church was in the spring of 1885, by
Father Ogulin, of st. Peter.
Father J. J. Woods was the first
resident pastor of the church after
it passed from the mission period.
Father Woods came to Redwood Falls
in 1897, and built the priests resi-
dence that same year. He remained
until 1909 when he was succeeded by
Father Schifrer, who was here only
one year, Father ]. ]. Tomek, the
present pastor, coming in 1910.
The parish now numbers seventy
families and is an exceptionally ac-
tive and prosperous one. The new
Church of st. Catherine is proof of
this prosperity. Father Tomek and
his two predecessors are to be credi-
ted with having obtained the hearty
support of their Pensioners which
has been the motive power behind this
steady growth, and the Pensioners
are to be similarly congratulated upon
the industry and progressiveness of
their pastors.

er requires it, by heating system
devised by Mr.. Weldon himself. I'm
der each building, and enclosed by
its foundation, is a thick layer of
sand which banks the floor. Through
this sand is large flue about eight
inches in diameter, leading from an
opening in the foundation at one
end to the chimney in the other end.
The opening is to be used as a fire.
box, the heat to be absorbed by the
sand surrounding the fiue and the
smoke being carried off by the CHM
ney. The concrete floors over the
sand will reflect the heat and the
building be kept at temperature
very comfortable to the hens at all
times. This will undoubtedly pre-
vent the failure of the hens to lay
during the cold weather.
All of Mr.. Weldon's apparatus is
of the best, his incubator being of
large size and standard make and
the brooder a marvel of convenience
and sanitation. In it at least three
hundred and fifty small chicks can
be well cared for until they are two
or three weeks old and this under
the most sanitary conditions and with
the least possible expenditure of time
and energy. Even the water foun-
tains are of the most approved type
and supply constant source of fresh
clean water. A hydrant is a part of
the yards equipment.
The flock of young chicks, rang
ing from good sized broilers to small
ones that will be ready to fry in six
or eight weeks, have been Matched
from imported eggs and are the
purest breeds obtainable. They are
about evenly divided between the
Rhode Island Reds and the White
Plymouth Rocks and present a pref
ty picture as they roam through the
green grass of their roomy play
ground. They will be kept for lay
ing purposes rather than as a source
of meat supply for the first year at
least. Later on it is probable Mr..
Weldon will add pigeons to his brood
and supply both squads and broiie1s
to the markets of the Twin Cities.
