which the purchase of these
bonds may entail. The spirit
shown on the part Of some of
the elder citizens is not quite so
commendable.
Uncle Sans first need is mon
ey, and each one is in duty
bound to contribute his bit, by
volunteering to purchase a bond.
These bonds are issued in
amounts from $4,000 up and
bearing interest at 312 per cent
payable every six months; these
bonds are as good as gold and
will doubtless sell at a premium
If later bonds are issued at q
higher rate of interest these
present bonds may be exchanged
for the later issue.
Must Make Report.
Every person in Redwood
County should subscribe now fol
as much as he can afford. Those
who do not volunteer their mon.
eY will be called on by solicitors
acting under authority of ths
Federal Reserve Banks. These
solicitors are ordered to report
the name and nationality OF
those who refuse to subscribe
giving the reason for such re.
fusal.
This loan will be closed June
18th at noon. The solicitors will
start work June 4th. Save them
trouble by subscribing now. Ev
cry bank in the county can sup.
ply subscription blanks-as
many as are needed.

Liberty Bonds
Are Selling Slowly

CHILDREN HELP
Solicitors Will Investigate June
Fourth; Don't Let Them
Get You

The sale of Liberty Bonds is
being pushed in Redwood Falls
and Redwood County, but the
sale is much slower than is war
ranted by the justice of the
cause. In Redwood Falls bonds
to the amount of nearly $4,000
have been sold. This does not
include any bonds taken by the
three local banks, which have
not yet determined how large
their purchase of these bonds
shall be.
Pupils Did Well.
The pupils of the grade and
high schools have subscribed for
$3.50 of the above amount and
members of the faculty have
taken an additional $3.50. The
children of the city have appar-
emily caught the spirit of pa
triotism essential to the times
and are not afraid of the sacri.
flee of their individual pleasures

Midsummer Race
Meet Under Way
It's Going To Be Hummer And
Will Eclipse That of
Last Year

Preparations for the Mid-Sum-
mer Race Meet to be held at the
fair grounds July 4th and 5th,
is going along with snap and
vigor, and the committees in
charge say that it will be the
greatest event held in this Sec
tion of the state.
A committee consisting Of DR..
Sarchet, Frank Clague and w.
H. Gold has been appointed to
take charge of the patriotic dem
onstration in the morning. This
will probably take place in the
city park or at the court house
square.
In the afternoon there will be
a race meet at the fair grounds,
consisting of four races. This
program is larger and better
than last year, which consisted
of only three races. This year
there will be at least four races
on the 4th and three on the 5th
of July.
The following classes have
been selected, each race for a
purse Of $4,000, 2:15, 2:18,
l2:22, 2:27 and 2::35 PAGES, and
2:18 and 2::25 trots. These races
will be run on the three heat
plan, every heat a race, thus
making IL heats on the 4th,
which will give a full afternoon
of racing.
F. D. Van Pelt of Omaha, who
has done the starting at the fair
the past few years, has been en-
gagged by the Driving Club to
start the races, and this assures
the horseman of impartial treat
ment and humorous time for
the spectators.
The Scenic City Band will fur
nish music for both days.

Mrs. HeiIman IS
Taken By Death
Succumbs to Many Years of Ill
ness Early Monday Morn
ing, May %

Mrs. Matte Gibb Heilman,
wife Of H. J. Heilman Of Red
wood Falls, passed away at her
home here early Monday morn
ing. The funeral service will be
held at the Lutheran Church
this morning, Rev. A. A. Schal-
Ter reading the service, and the
body will then be taken to Wa
Iterloo, Wis, for interment.
Mrs. Heilman has been a suf-
ferer for many years, being
practically invalided for the past
eight years. During the last few
weeks her illness has been very
severe and her death has been
expected for some time past
Her physicians give the cause
of her death as gastric ulcer, q
malady which caused her very
great suffering which was borr
with splendid fortitude.
Matte Glib was born Novem-
Der 10, 1855, at Waterloo, Wis.
and was sixty-two years old at
the time of her death. May 8,
1880, she was married to H. J
Heilman and to them was born
one son, Ernest, now professor
of German at the College OF
Iowa at Iowa City. Beside her
husband and son, Mrs. Heflmar
is survived by an infant grand.
son and two brothers, William
Glib and James Glib Of Cotton.
wood, MINI.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heilman have
lived in Redwood Falls for the
past sixteen years, during which
time Mr.. Heilman has been en-.
gagged in business as a retail
shoe dealer. During her life
Mrs. Heilman made many friends
in spite of being confined to hel
home practically al the time
Possessed of a mind of grea.
keeness and brilliance and an un.
usual sense of humor she was
entertaining and her friends al
ways enjoyed their visits to hel
bedside as one woman who hac
known her for many years said
"she was always an inspiration to
me; her patience and cheer were
so great. Her life was blessed
by wonderful care and devo
tion on the part of her husband
and son, for both of whom the
entire community feels the
greatest sympathy. It is giver
to few women to have the lovi
and tenderness shown them
which were Mrs. Heilman's dur
ing all her long years of illness
Her husbands understanding
and sympathy for her suffering;
sustained her through long years
of trial which would otherwise
have been unbearable to her.
