SENATOR JONES APPEALS TO '."...
ORGANIZED LABOR TO VOTE DRY

upon the question as to how much

The life of the average bartender is
shortened seven years because of the
business he is in, according to Charles
Sickle, the noted social worker of
New York.
Prohibition and Unemployment.
I'VE are asked not to vote men out
OF employment, but I would take a
fiendish delight in voting any man
out of employment If that man is en-
gagged in a business that is destruc-
tive to himself and to society. would
like to have the opportunity to vote
about 100000 of men out of jobs

would you argue for the contin-
uance of prostitution-the selling of
working girls to satisfy the lustful
desires OF bestia1 men, on the plea
that furniture dealers, jewelers. and
other respectable people are fur
nished a livelihood because Of the
traffic?
1T is the wall that is made by the
beneftciaries Of every special privi-
lege that saps the life blood of the
people and robs them Of their just

only motive in society is to make pri-

welfare.
IF the saloon is the poor mans
club why have so many prominent
leaders come out for the abolition of
the saloon, claiming it to be the
enemy of the working man?
Nothing to Lose But Chains.
"Organized labor has nothing to
lose but it's chains and the world to
gain when it refuses to align itself
with the liquor traffic, it's dealiest
enemy. Organized labor protests be-
| cause free labor is obliged to compete
with prison labor, and this protest is
made on just grounds. Seventy-five
per cent of the men in penal institu-
tons are there because of the LIQUOR
! traffic. But if this is true of only 1
per cent the principle is the same. It
is the business of liquor to put men in
penal institutions. It is to the inter-

out. Consequently there can be no
identity of interests between the two
In this respect. In order to be con-
! sistent, therefore, organized labor
should come out boldly for the aboli-
tlon Of the liquor traffic.

STATISTIC ONCE MORE.

The following is not original, but
that is not our fault-the other fellow
just beat us to it:
TELL me candidly, doc, do you
think I'll pull through?' asked the

1t has come to the Gazette's
attention that the article recent
ly written by Rud. Stensvad,
President of the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair Association, for "The
Farmer published in St. Paul,
and reproduced by The Gazette,

trying to buy grounds for a fair

instrumental in buying the
grounds got the article from me
and read it at a meeting of
those interested in a county fair
Redwood County got quite a bit
Of free advertising out of it.
Rud. brought out just the points
that showed why they never

A Bigger, Better
Co. L For 1916
Get-Together Meeting Thursday
Night Awakens Better Spirit
among Boys
CITIZENS MUST HELP
Boys Want Company to Remain;
Does the Public
Want It?

There was considerable enthu-
siasm aroused at a "get-togeth-
er" meeting Of the Company l.
boys last Thursday and there
was sufficient encouragement
displayed to show that the boys
and the officers are determined
to keep the company together
and to endeavor to have a bigger,
better company than in the past.
The little differences that have
existed for the past few months
were threshed out and the boys
volunteered their support and
assistance to Capt. Gales if he
will consent to remain in charge.
Considerable work is neces-
sary to bring the Company up
to it's desired high standing and
many new recruits must be add
ed to it's ranks. In this the boys
have pledged their support. The
business men can do much to-
ward helping the situation if
they will encourage those in
their employ to join instead of
discouraging them. Giving them
leave of absence at camp time
and a short time additional if
possible will be doing a great
good for the company and the
town.
General Wood made the as
sertion when here recently that
Redwood Falls had the best COM
pany in the regiment at camp
two years ago. 1t is hoped that
it may show up even better at
camp next July than it did at
the time commended by the Gen.
eral.

Eric Wilson Dies
Sunday Evening
County Commissioner And Prom
inent Citizen Succumbs to
Bright's Disease
TIME OF FUNERAL
ANNOUNCED LATER
Is Survived by Wife And Four
Children, Two Now Residing
in Montana

Eric Wilson, a member of the
Redwood County Board of Com
missioners, died at his home at
Walnut Grove at nine o'clock last
Sunday evening. While it was
known that Mr.. Wilson was i'll,
as he was unable to attend the
commissioners meeting of last
week, his death came as a dis
tinct shock to all who knew him
as it was not commonly known
that he was seriously i'll. Death
was caused from Bright's Di-
sease from which Mr.. Wilson
had suffered for some time. He
was confined to the house for
two weeks prior to his death.
Eric Wilson was born in Swe-
den, January II, 1852, and came
to America in 1873, settling first
in Carver County and coming to
Redwood County in 1878. He
married Miss Marie Johnson of
Redwood Falls May 25, 1881,
and they made their home on a
farm seven miles north of Wal
Grove, living there until 1907
when they moved into the vii
lage. Mrs. Wilson survives her
husband. There are also four
children: J. Harry Wilson of
Coffee Creek. Mont; Mrs. Ellen
Mondale of Denton, Mont; and
Misses Anna and Olga Wilson of
Walnut Grove. Mr.. Wilson was
an only child and so has few
relatives aside from his own i'm
mediate family.
Announcement of the funeral
services will be made later as
Mrs. Mondale and Mr.. Wilson
have not yet reached Walnut
Grove. The men associated with
Mr.. Wilson in his work as COM
missioner will attend the funer-
al as will several other county
officers, Mr.. and Mrs. O. J. Boil
lum and several other friends
of Mr.. Wilson whose death is
sincerely mourned by a large
number of friends and associates

Winter Family
InheritS Estate
Brother Lost Years Ago Gives
$4,000 to Relatives Who
Discover 1t by Chance

George Rodney Winter when
a boy away back in 1854, left
his home at Shutesbury, Mass,
and relatives lost all trace of
him. After twenty years he
was heard of in the west, again
disappeared and was thought to
have died.
In December 1914 the atten-
ton of members Of the Winter
family was attracted by an item
in the Minneapolis Tribune stat
ing that Geo. Winter had died
at Yankton, S. D. At the ur-
gent request of other members
of the family H. T. Winter, for
merly of Redwood Falls, went to
Yankton to investigate. 1mme-
diately upon his arrival at Yank-
ton friends of the deceased Mr..
Winter remarked at the great
resemblance between the two
men and as further proof of the
relationship the body was ex-
humed and identified by a scar
which Mr.. Winter remembered
his brother having had as well
as by the facial resemblance be-
tween the two men.
Sufficient proof was obtained
to make the living members of
the Winter family heirs to the
estate valued at about $25, 900.
The heirs are H. T. Winters of
Milaca, Mrs. L. A. Nutting Ca
sister, of Minneapolis, A. B.
Winter of Redwood Falls and
the heirs of two sisters in Mas
sachusetts.

Book to Be Published for Circu-
latiOn Early in Spring
of 1916

Work Is Well under Roadway
And Book Will Contain Val
liable Information

In the course of a few months
it is planned by the County Di-
rectory Company of Redwood
Falls to place in the hands of
those desiring a copy, one of the
most practical books of it's kind

For the past few weeks Chas.
w. Howe, who is one of the in
terested parties, has been en-
gagged in the city soliciting data
which is to be Incorporated in the
directory. A house-to-house can
vass covering the entire county

publishers to secure the neces-
sary information and to insure
absolute correctness. Every bust
and dwelling house will be Wis
tied and asked for its co-opera-
ton in making the book COM
plete and correct in every detail.
When finished the directory
will contain a list of about four
thousand names of the heads of
families and single persons over
the age of twenty-one who are
making a livelihood for them
selves. 1t will tell the occupa-
ton, where each person is To-
Gated, the telephone number,
whether an owner of an auto
mobile, and, if a farmer. wheth-
er owner or renter and the piece
of land interested in.
That the directory is practical
and useful is proven by the
splendid encouragement and sup
port the publishers have re-
ceived right from the start.
There is an immense amount of
time and considerable money
necessary in the publishing of
such book, but it is hoped to
complete the work early next
spring. From the proceeds of
the advertising it contains and
the sale of the books at one dol
lar each the publishers expect
to be repaid.
