"And because my younger son,
Ferdinand, disregarding my wishes,
has been leading a riotous life
gambling, drinking and otherwise
dissfpating-I bequeath him nothing
absolutely nothing!"
When Lord Latimer's will is read
his youngest son, Ferdy, found him
self not only penniless but indebted
heavily for gambling operations.
Wandering through the estate where
he could find relief from this dill
emma, Ferdy had the role of hero
thrust upon him when he rescued a
beautiful young American girl who
was visiting at an adjoining estate
and who had fallen into lake on
the Latimer property.
How 1t all works out and how
everybody is made happy, even the

OF "The Lady of the Photograph"

many funny situations, the music for
which must be lightly played. The

Christmas Boxes.

Christmas boxes for our boys at
the front were received from the
following auxiliaries:
duck. 20; Hines, S, and Kelliher, 20.
All of these boxes were fine but
those from Baudette and Spooner
certainly take the prize.
The different grades and the high
school classes O. these towns furnish
ed part of the boxes and they de-
serve great credit for the fine boxes
they sent.
This is just sample Of what
their boxes contain: Package Of
crackers, two boxes of cookies, deck
Of cards, hand warmer and five
boxes of fuse, package of raisins,
package of dates, sailed nuts, three
cans of tobacco, several packages OF
cigarette papers, package of gum,
package of life-savers, candy.
A can of deviled meat product and
mighty clever book of poems. jokes
and stories with original illustra-
lions.
Can't you just see the smile on
some Sammy's face when he opens
this box?
And how much pleasure he and
his pals will get from the clever
little book? And how good it will
make them feel to think that even
the Riddles are thinking of them?
The workers here wish to thank
the auxiliary chapters for their
hearty support and cooperation in
the good work.

REpcRoss NOTES
Knitters. Attention |!

Certain persons are industriously
circulating reports that the wal
knitting now occupying the time OF
thousands of the women of the state
is useless effort. One ill-informed
newspaper correspondent declares
that the woman knitter lis Grimm
ally wasting herself"
Minnesota in the War" desires
to correct this misinfOrmatien posi-
lively and to serve notice on all per-
sons and newspapers who are dis
|7couraging knitting to forthwith de-
sist from SO doing.
The published statement that the
government furnishes the soldiers
and sailors all the knitted articles
specified is not true. The only knit
ted items furnished by the govern
ment to the soldiers are the ordin-
airy commercial machine-made socks.
While some other articles are made
available, these must all be pur-
chased individually by the men.
The American Red Cross declares
that the need for knitted socks,
sweaters, mufflers and wristlets is
imperative and calls upon the women
of the United States to exert them
selves to the utmost in this regard.
A cabiegram from Major GraysOn
M. P. Murphy, representing the AM
erican Red Cross in France, states the
situation so clearly that further COM
ment is unnecessary. Major Muir
ply says:
Last winter broke the record for
cold and misery among people here.
There is inexpressible dread of the
coming winter finding us without
supplies. to meet the situation. We
urge you on behalf of our soldiers
and those of our allies who will suf-
fer in their frozen trenches, and al
so thousands of French and Belgian
refugees and repatriates being re-
turned through Switzerland to
France. Everyone here looks to
America to begin shipping at once
/ 100000 Of each of the warm knit
ted wooden articles already request
ed. They must come before cold
weather, and in view Of the short
age of fuel and other .discomforts
they will be of inestimable value in
both military and civilian work" +.

The ST. Thomas Church building

is known as a "speedometer" II is a

colored electric light bulbs the
"speedometer" has beautiful ap-

SIN BREAKS
 ALL THE TIES
 SAYS PATTON

Separating Forces of Sin" was the theme at the Methodist church Sun day evening.
 During the course of his address, Rev. J. J. Patton said that sin had ever been the cruel and heartless force that separates man from the highest ideals and true happiness of this life.
 "Sin separated our first parents from the Garden of Eden," said Rev. Patton. "Sin banished Cain from the presence of his home companions. This character destroying force, this home destroying influence has left a pathway of shame and sorrow during al the history of the human race.
 "It separates man from true com forts of life. It removes him from wholesome society of freedom and places him in jails, penitentiaries, .almshouses and insane asylums. Like as the Prodigal, Uuke 15:11-2D, was brought to eating husks, so sin has ever separated man from his money without giving him satisfaction or comfort. It has driven many to live in novels who otherwise might have occupied comfortable homes.
 "sin makes man a prey to the vul- lures of society who fin their cofrers upon the cash that mothers and chiI- dren ought to have to give them the inherent rights of life, happines.'
 Sin gives man a shamed consci- ence when in the presence of pure society. 1t is the hound that follows him to wretched loneliness until with Cain Genesis 4:18) he cries, My pun ishment is greater than I can bear. But let us remember there is a cure for sin. Read l Timothy 1:15."
