FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM
START CAMPAIGN TO- RAISE
FUNDS.
Great Enthusiasm Prevailed at Last
Meeting-Large Committee Ap-
pointed to Solicit Financial Aid.
$4,000 to Be Raised by Popu-
lar Subscription.

The Friends of Irish Freedom, the
Sir Roger Easement local, held its
regular meeting last Thursday eve
ming, a week ago, in their hall and
considerable business of importance
was transacted. Many new members
were reported and with the coming
week a campaign will be launched
with the ultimate purpose of reaching
the 1000 mark by the first of the COM
ing year. A large committee was ap-
pointed to solicit funds for the dis
tress and needful in Ireland, and it is
confidently expected, if the committee
does as anticipated, that $4,000 will
be gathered soon.
Slowly, but surely, this organization
is gaining in membership in Hennepin
County, and this is indeed very graft
flying to the officers who have con-
stantly endeavored to increase it, but
at times have met with many dis
couragements. However, at the last
meeting 1t was evident from the en-
thusiasm displayed that the real,
genuine spirit has been enkindled and
every friend and lover of freedom will
assist in the promotion of this CON-
mendable effort, with one purpose in
view, and that is to lessen the op-
preston and tyranny of England's
rule, in this great hour of need when
the despots of British favor are en-
deavoring to crush all that is dear
to every Irishman in the world. The
Irish Standards prayer is that this
work will continue successfully and
that every man, regardless of nation
atty or religion, who loves and
enjoys liberty, will contribute gener-
ously to the assistance of the OBJ.

From this city the choristers will go
to New York City, where phono-

popular records.
Father Finn states that his choris-
tiers have also been selected by the
American Federation of Singing So

growth of music from Grecian types,
through early ecclesiastic and medi-
eval music down to modern times
The Paulist choir was selected after
national survey among the federation's
membership of 100000.
Father Finn is now arranging the
pageant which will be of three hours
duration.
After the evening performance a
banquet was rendered the choristers

Give the Baby a Chance.

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowd-
ing, poverty, dir, ignorance, heat
these combine in summer to kill
the city baby. 1t seems as tho
the brunt of the cities sanitary
sins were focused on the baby
The baby didn't ask to come, to
live in hot, dark, air-tight ten
ament, to be fed on dirty, half
spoiled milk, to be pestered with
flies and mosquitoes. He is not
responsible for any of these con-
ditions and it is his right that he
have fresh air, clean surround
ings and decent food. The L. S.

CONDITION IMPROVED
Hopes are Eatsstainsd fer Con.
plete Recovery From his
Recent Affliction.

The Sedgwick Sun says: Mrs.
Y. {. Davis returned from Den
yer Friday where she left Mr..
Davis III the care of relatives, who
are taking time to give him IA va
cation he SO much requires to
relieve the strain that years of
cOnstancy here have helped to
bring about a troubled mind.
Mrs. Davis advises The Sun
that the two specialists-one for
blood and one for brain-gave
her some hope for his recovery
A wound that he had received
while in the army, in which
blood poison resulted, had not
been property treated and bacta-
ria that had remained in the
blood had effected the spine. His
use of tobacco and liquor has had
the effect of countencting the in
roads of the bactaria until of late.
Mrs. Davis scouts at the idea
that his religious attitude has any
thing whatever to do with his
condition. lie has not been in
the least vicious but rather in the
nature of II hypochondriac, and
she has not at any time felt in
fear. She hopes for the hest and
herfriends will aid her in her
hopes.

set for the date of meeting. Re-
garding the getting together of the
preliminary work, such a s

committees for the numerous du-
ties and the electing of a secre.

possible and many are expected
from Sedgwick and Ovid and
other rural communities.
1t is of interest to all to have a
county fair and by lending your
presence and boosting all you can
by telling your friends about it,
will tend to make it a success.
The farmers should save their
hest specimens of grain and all
other agricultural products for

l appreciate very greatly the
kindness of the leaders of the
political parties and all my friends
that have asked me to run: but |
find it impossible to arrange
things to suit me in case l were
nominated and elected.

the last few days that so many
were expecting me to make the
race, and it is very gratifying In
deed to know that so many of my
old friends were lining up with
new ones to support me.
If, at some future time ] find
it possible to serve this county
in some official capacity, l will
be very glad to find the same
kindly feeling toward me. How.
ever, ! am not looking forward

ing the manufacturing districts

Markham of Lamar, representing
the agricultural districts of the
state, are determined that the ef-
forts of this board shall he non.
sectional, non-political and non-
everything else that might inter.
fere with their doing effective
work.
This month active work has
begun to advertise for new
industries. What additional fac
tory, store or business of any
kind can prosper in your county
or town? Now, not what you
would like to have but what can
succeed. For instance, if you
need bakery, why, how many
have you now? Give facts and
figures as to why you think you
can use another. If you want a
creamery, how much milk will
you guarantee? What will it
cost to deliver at the plant?
Where can You market the pro-
duct? How much financial sup
port can you give it etc. We
want to help you but you must
put us in position to do 80 in
telligently. Every section of the
state needs new industries to con.
sumo the raw product, and your
active, intelligent cooperation
will enable us to be of value to
you.
Can we have it?
