Russians Lose Lodz but Say
Capture of City Wasn't
Worth Loss Enemy
Has Suffered.
FIGHTING ON USER
Vigorous Action by the Artillery and
Infantry Along English Channel
Allies Think They are
Gaining Ground.
Summary Of EUenks. }

The Germans declare they are
pursuing the Russians to the
south and southeast of Lodz. Sew
eral American correspondents
were with the Russian army when
the battle of Lodz broke, but
nothing has been heard from them
for several days Evidently they
are under the hand of a strict
censorship.
British military experts say that
three-quarters of the best material of
the German army has been held in the
western theater of war throughout the
campaign and that the troops opposed
to the Russians consist principally of
second line organizations
But the great battle for the posses
sion of Poland continues. The front
extends along four hundred miles and
victory, over a part of it at least, ap-
pears to have fallen to the Germans,
while the Russians are pressing upon
Cracow in the south.
Importance of Capture.
For weeks military critics have
called Lodz the vital point of the
Polish campaign" To the Germans
it meant everything, according to
Major Moraht, German war expert.
To prevent an invasion by the Rus
SLAMS the kaiser's troops had to check,
their enemy at the city and their cam
paign in doing so undoubtedly brought
out the greatest generalship the war
has seen.
Lodz long has been an objective
point of the German army. 1t has
grown in recent years from an insig
nificant place to be one of the most
populous cities in the Russian Empire.
In 1910 it's population numbered 415,-
COS and with this important place as
base it is expected that the Germans
will make a strong effort to reach the
Polish capital of Warsaw.
The campaign began several weeks
tgo when the Russian advance began
to threaten. The Germans had re-
treated from before Warsaw and the
Russian offensive was towering
threat. The cars line extended from
Soldau, where the Russian troops had
invaded East Prussia. to Cracow,
where they were trying to capture the
strong Austrian fortress.

Farmers Find Good
Use For 1914 Corn
Eight Carloads of Feeders Shipped
to Redwood Falls From Da-
kOta Ranch
OTHER SHIPMENTS RECEIVED
Farmers Will Use County's Big Corn
Yield to Fatten Stock For
Eastern Markets

The Redwood Falls men who went
to Gackie, S. D., to purchase young
stock for feeding purposes, returned
last week bringing with them eight
carloads of stock, numbering two hum
dred eleven head. This stock was all
purchased at the Young ranch and
was driven thirty-five miles before
the loading place was reached. Not
all members of the party enjoyed their
first experience as COW punchers, a
few objecting to the atmosphere Of
the Dakota plains at two A. M, and
others, the more fnicky, not taking
kindly to steady diet Of canned
salmon and crackers. The members
of the party were: H. Brown, R.
Stewart, A. S. Kenney, F. Jones and
D. M. Tiffany.
J.. P. Cooper, Banker and Dennis
toun and David Dennistoun have al
so recently received large shipments
of young stock, which will be fat
tened on their farms during the fall
and winter. The many feeders through
out the county realize that the best
means Of converting the immense
corn crop into cash is to convert il
into beef first, and the fattening Of
young cattle will be popular occu
patton throughout the county.

Illinois and Iowa
Men Find Mecca in
Redwood County
Two Thousand Acres of County's Land
Purchased BY Out-of-State Farm
ers in Last Few Weeks II,
MANY wILL.CoME NEXT SPRING
Farms Will Be Used For Feeding
Stock As Well As Grain And
Corn Raising

Many new farmers from Iowa and
Illinois are coming into Redwood
County each week. Within the past
few weeks the Crimmins Company has
sold over 1000 acres of the county's
farm land, all of this going to buyers
from the two neighboring states.
Foremost among these buyers are
the Bruch Brother who were men,
toned in the last issue of The Ga
zette. These farmers, who operate
1,200 acres in Illinois, do not expect
to live on their land here, but have
rented it at S. per acre, cash rent,
to tenants from Illinois. John Bruch,
who bought half section last year,
bought 800 acres more on his recent
visit here and his brother, Henry,
bought half section. This land would
be worth $500 per acre in Illinois in
the opinion of these buyers.
Archie Parks, another Illinois farm
er, who makes speciality of feed
ing cattle and hogs will move here
next March, having purchased the N.
L. Wann farm of 160 acres and the
j. A. McGetrick 80 acres. This makes
an ideal stock farm laying close to
Redwood Falls. The Flayety Broth
ers of New Windsor, ILL.,, will also
take possession of their farm of 800
acres early next March. A. L Howe
of Illinois has purchased 240 acres
just north Of Milroy and Peter Smith
of Illinois has also purchased large
farm in that locality. Both will take
possession soon.
Among the buyers from Iowa is
John Alslat, who bought 800 acres.
which will be farmed by his son. l..
NJ Owens of Burt, Iowa, says he has
been around some and Redwood Coun-
ty looks good to him, 50 good that
he purchased the 100 acres Of John
son land, west of Redwood Falls. Mr..
Owens is a stock feeder of consider
able success. A. J. Johnston, pro-
gressive farmer from Iowa, has pur-
chased 200 acres in Vail township,
which is entirely satisfactory to him
except that it too far from Redwood
Falls.
G. A. McGetrick got frightened for
fear the foreigner" would get all
the good things the county has to Of
fer, so he went to the Crimmins Com
pany and insisted upon having the
Ben Wolf farm, which he bought foy
S55 per acre. Mr.. McGetrick recently
sold his land south OF town nc s85
per acre, having purchased Ut Stwo
years ago for SIS.

Redwood Falls Is
To Have Better
Postal Facilities
Twenty Feet of Space to Be Added
to Rear of Room Now Occupied
by Postal Service
INSPECTOR DRAKE LAYS PLANS
New Furniture And Equipment To Be
Installed; Private Office For Post
master in Front Part of Building

Postoffice Inspector, George Drake,
of St. Paul, was in the city last We'd
nesday and formulated plans which
will give the city of Redwood Falls
a much enlarged and improved head
quarters for the handling of Uncle
Sans mail.
The plans as layed out by Mr.. Drake
will mean the addition of the twenty
foot room in the rear of the room
now occupied. The entire fixtures now
in use will be moved to the rear ten
feet, and the general delivery, register
and parcel windows will be placed side
by side, making the mail service more
convenient for both the clerks and
the public. A private office for the
postmaster will be installed in the
front part of the building to the left
of the entrance. A new dumping
table, a parcels rack on casters and
a cancelling table will take the place
of those now in use.
The partition which now separates
the proposed addition from the room
now occupied will be partially removed,
making one large room out of the en-
tire floor. The rear room will be di-
? Vided by means of steel partition,
a part of it to be used as the dis
Ipatching and separating room and
the remaining space to be occupied
by the four rural carriers. A steel
cage will be placed inside the rear
door, into which the mail from the
midnight train will be deposited, in
Stead of in the lobby as is now being
done. The windows on the south side
of the building are to be enlarged to
provide better light and ventilation
In addition to these additions, the fix
lures are to be given new dress
Of varnish.
These improvements have become a
necessity in order to provide ample
facilities to keep pace with the rapid
growth of the mail service at the of
flee. The parcels post service has
probably played as important part
in this splendid growth as anything
though nearly every branch of the
business and every class of mail ha:
steadily increased.

Pope Benedict
Nv. is COrOnated
At Italian Capital
Ceremony, Imposing in Its Solemnity,
Held at Sistine Chapel at
The Vatican
POPE RECEIVES CARDINALS
POntifical Court, Roman Aristrocracy
and Pontiff's Family Present
at The Ceremony

The coronation of Pope Benedict
XIV took place Sunday in the Sistine
chapel. The ceremony was imposing
in its solemnity. The Sistine chapel
was used for the occasion in order
to avoid pomp during the war. The
entire pontifcal court, numbers of the
Roman aristocracy, and the family of
the pontiff were present.
Scene Was Striking
The scene with Pope Benedict seated
in the sedia gestatoria, preceded by
the bearers Of the triple crown and
f1anked by the bearers Of the cele-
brated feather fan, and 60 cardinals
in their full vestments, was a strik-
ing one. When the ceremony ended,
the pope was received with loud ac-
claim by those present.
Later in the day, Pope Benedict re-
ceived successfully, in private audi
ence, Cardinals Gibbons, Farley and
O'Connell, who presented their suites
and some American friends.
The entire armed corps of the Holy
See saluted the passage Of the pro-
cession which was formed in the
pope's apartments, and then pro-
ceeded to the Pauline chapel, where
the alteration Of the holy sacrament
was celebrated. In the procession
were high dignitaries Of the papal
court, patriarch bishops and Oriental
bishops. = -,i-f wrlstT
Mass Is Said $500
From the Pauline chapel the pro-
cession moved to the Sistine chapel,
where mass was said. After the
indulgentiam the subdeacon placed the
maniple on the arm Of the pope, who
sat down while the cardinals of the
diocese Of Rome recited the corona
ton prayer. The pope then mounted
the altar and cardinal placed the
| pallium on his shoulders. !
At this moment Benedict XIV re-
ceived the last alteration of the car
dinals, bishops and abbes. Then he
read the introit, intoned the Gloria,
and resumed his seat on the throne.

Joseph vogel
Secured P atent
Brown County Youth Gets $4,000 for
Invention Which He Sold to a
New York Concern

The story of sudden wealth showered
upon Joseph Vogel, son of Wenzel in
Stately township, as a result of hav-
ing perfected a patent reads so much
like fiction that readers of The Adj
vance will feel somewhat skeptic in
giving due credence to the story, but
it is absolutely vouched for by his
mother, who gave the particulars to
the writer Monday afternoon while
she was in Springfield doing her shop
ping.
Although but little more than twen-
ty-three years old, the young man
appears to be of decidedly inven-
tive turn of mind, his perfected in
vention being a machine for corking
barrels and kegs, and which has just
been purchased by New York manu-
featuring concern for the fabulous sum
of $4,000.
About two years ago when the
young man was visiting in New Ulm,
he had occasion to accompany num-
Der of his companions to one of the
breweries on tour of inspection, and
while thus engaged he witnessed the
process of putting the corks in the
barrels. The method appeared to him
to be more or less primitive and when
he returned to his farm home in State
~ he decided to try his skill in the
perfection of more modern machine
Nor doing the work. However, instead
gof devoting his entire time to work
Nout the proposed invention, he con-
ltinued to do the routine work on the
farm, all the while studying up a
Feasible solution that would eventual
NY lead up to his success as an in
lventor. He finally finished model
land sent it to the patent Office in
Washington, and last winter secured
Ia patent on the machine. He was
promptly offered several thousand dol
liars for it bysa manufacturing con-
lcern, but did not sell his patent un-
It'll recently, WHEN he entered Into q
contract with . New York concern
for the sum Of $4,000, the same to
be paid in three installments, and the
final payment to be made next April.
