Pres. Wilson Sends
Sec. to St. Paul
Joseph Tumulty, David Houston And
Judge Landis to Address
Meetings
OTHERS SPAEK ALSO
Delegations Will Be Well Taken Care
of; Enthusiasm Great; Many
Will Attend

Representatives of the Government
are back of the Northwestern Loyal
ty conventions to be held at st. Paul
November 10Th and Minneapolis No
vember 17th.
Robert w. Hargadine, secretary of
the committee, has received tele-
gram from. George Creel, chairman
of the Committee on Information at
Washington, advising him that al
though President Wilson cannot be
present in person, he will be repre-
sented by his private secretary. Jo-
seph P. Tumulty, with personal
message from the President, and that
Secretary of Agriculture. David Hous-
ton, will deliver a ringing message
to the Northwest. Judge Lands of
the Chicago United States Circuit
Court will also address the meetings.
Arrangements have been completed
to accommodate delegates as well as
all who attend from the districts
throughout Minnesota outside of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and these will
be seated before other delegations
are taken care of at the ST. Paul and
Minneapolis auditoriums.
Some idea of the immense size of
these gatherings may be CLEANED from
the fact that practically every coun-
ty in the state has held large and
enthusiastic local meeting to arrange
to send delegations, and all will par
ticipate in the monster loyalty pa
rade. More than half of the delega-
tions will bring their own bands for
this purpose.
The French Government will be
represented by M. Eduard de Billy,
Delegate General at Washington, rep
resenting the French Republic. 9th
ers who will speak at the convention
include Otto Kahn of New York;
Clarence Darrow, noted counsel for
organized labor. Of Chicago; John P.
White, President of the United Mine
Workers; Monteville Flowers, Presi-
dent of the International Lyceum
Bureau; C. J. Doyle, former Secre-
tary of State of Illinois, and Gov
ernor Burnquist of Minnesota. The
Governors of the following states
have announced their intentions of
attending: w. L. Harding of Iowa,
Samuel " Stewart of Montana,
Emanuel L. Philips of Wisconsin,. and
Frank P. Lowden of Illinois.
Railroad companies throughout Min
nesota are making arrangements at
each county seat for the accommo-
dation of delegates, and special trains
will be provided if necessary.
"These meetings have only one pur-
pose," says Secretary Hargadine, "ano
that is Americanism."

Help the Board

The local registration board has
recently been informed of new duties
which are to be added to the siren
uous work already done by the mem
bers. These new duties practically
comprise the taking of a complete
census for every man who registered
last June 5. The statistics must show
the mans age, his profession or oc-
cupation. whether he is married or
single, whether he is already in the
service or not, etc, the object Of this
census being to show just how large
an army is available for future use.
This entails q tremendous amount Of
work which must Of necessity be
completed in great hurry and the
board feels that it should have the
help Of several skilled accountants.
The members Of the board are sac
rificing their own time and work in
order to carry to fulfllment the heavy
duties that have been placed upon
them and others should be as willing
and self sacrificing. It is probable
that call for volunteer accountants
win be made within = few days.

Our County Must
Conserve Coal
Geo. A. Patton Appointed Chairman
of Committee to Assist in
Saving of Fuel

Geo. A. Patton has been appointed
chairman Of the Fuel Committee for
Redwood County and has been busy
through the last few days getting re-
ports from the coal dealers in each
town in the county for all coal re-
ceived since April l, 1916. This re-
port must be quite complete in each
case; it will not only show the amount
Of coal received by each dealer and
by what firm shipped, but will also
show gross margin received by each
retailer. When the 1915 and the July
1917 gross margin is found, the re-
taller can add 309t to the 1915 gross
margin, provided it does not make
the margin greater than the average
gross margin received in July 1917.
These reports are required by the
government for the good of the peo
pie and every citizen should aid in
every way possible this movement to
conserve fuel and thus help in win
ming the war The fuel committee
has several other important duties al
so and should be given the greatest
possible assistance by every resident
of the county.
Some severe measures Will un-
doubtedly be taken to save fuel be-
fore the warm weather of next spring
makes smaller demand upon the
supply needed for consumption in
towns and villages. 1t has been sug-
gested by the government that all
power and lighting plants run by
steam should be closed down at 1890
P. NJ. and remain closed until 600 A.
NJ. and several towns are reported
to have already put this suggestion
into effect.
In letter of suggestions and re-
quirements which Mr.. Patton is ex-
pected to follow is the following
statement: Every practical economy
in the use of fuel must be practised.
Any waste will result in the curtail-
ment Of the quantity to be sent to
the community in which it occurs"
And another statement is to the eff
feet that "Your first duty will be to
ascertain forthwith the supply Of fuel
in the territory over which you have
jurisdiction, and the fuel needs there
of with special regards to the points
Of immediate need, having in mind
that l must in turn report your con-
clusions to Washington from which
point coal will be ordered to your
community. The letter is signed "John

IitChfield Ready
For Thanksgiving
Litchfeld Beat Humboldt High Sat-
urday by Score of ~ to 13; Plays
st. Thomas Cubs Next

Through the courtesy of the editor
of the Litchfield Review the Gazette
has learned something of the past
of the Litchfield football team which
is scheduled to meet Redwood Falls
at the Redwood County fair grounds
Thanksgiving day This is the game
to which the local team and the local
fans have looked forward with keen
expectation and it is evident that
the game is going to meet those ex-
pectations.
The Litchfeld team of 1916 claimed
the state championship until it met
the team at Rochester in the last
game OF the season, and Litchfeld
was at the height of her football
glory during that year. Graduation
and other incidents of school life
removed several of the headiest,
heaviest and fastest players and in
ability to replace them has some
what weakened the present team.
The several games played by the
Litchfeld team so far are: Hutchin-
son, score 80 to O. in favor of Litch-
field, ST. Cloud, score SO to 0, favor
of st. Cloud, Anoka, score SO to O,
in favor of Litchfeld, and the Satur-
days game with st. Paul. The Anoka
game may be explained somewhat as
the st. Peter game was-some OF
their best players being absent be-
cause of scholastic delinquencies and
other reasons. !.
In the Humboldt game st. Paul
scored 13 points before the team
from Litchfield could get started. The
end of the first half saw the game a
tie, and its close 27 to 13, in favor
of Litchfield.
We quote the following paragraphs
concerning the team and the coach
Nearly every team has a giant

nected with the Farmers State Bank

south of us for visit to Columbus,

daringly gave a place in the sun, I"

IDENTIFY thriving and booming, base of
supplies as it was to Pershing and
his expeditionary forces, and even
before that time we were told Col
umbus contained a population of over
5000. Now it is a decaying border
town shrunken to a size of 500 peo-

roomed property are at hand in the
numerous lunch, soft drink and curio
shacks crowded along business streets,
and now boarded up and abandoned.
Of Villas raid there are no relics
left to tell the story except few
shot-punctured posts and few talk
ative citizens. The postoffice and ho-
tel destroyed by the bandits have
been rebuilt and are substantial, at
tractive buildings. Several hundred
soldiers are stationed here yet, among
them whom is a battalion of colored
infantrymen, fine looking lot OF
