Representative Martin
Tells of Delegations Work

1nasmuch as some criticism has beer
made of the Marion county delegation

members on the S6,000,000 bond issue,

colleagues, who represented Marion
county in the house.

representative should be governed by
the wishes of his constituents and when
he feels to n moral certainty that the
citizens and tax pay .rs approve or dis
approve Of large improvements and ex

Early in the session, after consider
able discussion as to variety and dura
tion of bonds the house passed bill No

to procure the government appropria

obeying the wishes Of the citizens OF

were getting road work to the value OF

meant more road building than we have

The Big Bond Issue.
When the $6,000000 bond issue was

should fail, an additional tax would be
necessary to meet the interest on the

WELL BRED STOCK PAYS

1t is not uncommon to hear man
say that he is going to replace the cows
in his dairy herd with some of the larg-
er or dual purpose cattle such as the
Durham. This switch cannot be recon-
mended because, regardless of what the
butcher will tell you, in dairy com
munities the present finds the Jersey or
Holstein being practically the only
breeds used by the local butchers and
expert judgment has proven that the
meat of a Jersey or Holstein COW is as
fine Favored and nutritious as that of
any of the beef breeds, and the butcher
wont hesitate minute to buy your
Improbable dairy COW if she is fat.

ment at a neighboring town this
week the writer was somewhat
surprised at an occurrence at the
conclusion of the program. Fhe
concluding number Of the pro-
gram was aThe Star Spangled

the custom rose. However, be-
fore the selection was half fin

audience started putting on
their wraps and two or three
left the building. Possibly no
disrespect was intended either

Assault Caused Death

William H. Christensen died
at ST. Luke's hospital in ST. Paul
last week, Thursday evening, at
about $50, and the remains
were shipped back to Balaton
Saturday.
Mr.. Christensen was the vic
tim Of a brutal assault made by
a farmer by the name of Bruce
Alwart living near Marshall, on
September "a. After Mr.. Chris
tensen had erected a silo on the
farm occupied by Mr.. Alwart,
the two got into a dispute over
the cement used, and it is
claimed that Alwart knocked
Christensen down with a double
tree, rendering him unconscious.
The blow was struck on the back
of the head badly crushing the
skull. Christensen was taken to
the Marshall hospital, where he
remained until the 9th, and he
was brought home on that day.
On Saturday, the 29th his con-
aition grew worse and he was
taken to st. Paul. Several doc
tors attended the unfortunate
man and after examination, his
condition was found to be be-
yond medical aid and for four
days he lay in an unconscious
condition until the Grim Reaper
claimed him at $50 Thursday
night, his wife, three brothers
and brother-in-law, w. E. john
son were at his bedside.-Mil-

A Dream Come True

When DIR. C. p. Gibson, a
.nuch-loved former resident of
Redwood Falls, was a boy, the
Civil War broke out, and the lad,
who was too young to enlist
regularly, ran away from home
three times in a vain effort to
become a soldier. Then, when
the Spanish-American war broke
out the Doctor had many fam
lily and business cares and by
the time these were adjusted
and he was at liberty to go~ to
do MS bit for the country, the
war was over. And now, ever
since the declaration of war last
April, DR.. Gibson has been max
ing effort after effort to get in
to actual service, however hard,
that might make for the victory
of his country. In these efforts
he has been aided and assisted
III every possible way by his
good friend, Secretary of State
ISchmahl, and they have finally
won out. In spite Of DR.. Glib
sons age, which was the one
obstacle in the way Of his being
accepted into the service, his call
has come and he will enter the
hospital service, doing special
work with victims Of lung trou-
BILE. He has not yet been as
signed his post, but the call
states that this will come soon.
DR.. Gibson will be sixty-eight
years old next Saturday. People
of Redwood Falls need to be told
nothing Of his life of unselfisn
helpfulness, Of sacrifice for 9TH
ers, of broad, unquestioning
and unadvertised charity. To
him the declaration of war was
the awakening Of an old dream
to give his labor and his life to
his country and, fired by the
same spirit that lead his grand
son to enlist in Company L, he
was not content until he was
mustered in" The residents
Of Redwood Falls-in fact of the
entire County-will unite in
wishing DR.. Gibson God-Speed.

MOVE TO EXTEND
DRAFT PROVISION
TORECENT ADULTS

Extension Of the draft law so a.
to include men who have become
twenty-one years old since June 5
is under consideration by the War
Department today. 1t Is understood
the officials also favor exempting men
who have passed the age Of thirty
one since registration day.
As the result Of conferences Secre-
tary Baker has had with President
Wilson on the subject. Congress may
be asked to make the necessary
amendments to the draft law. Such
changes, however. will necessitate an
other registration for the twenty
one-year-old class.
Arrangements for entraining the
Districts first increment OF drafted
men for Camp Meade on September
were completed at a meeting at the
District building last night. II was
decided that the 2T9 men. composing
the hrst 30 per cent OF the Districts
quota. shall report at L street armorJ
on Sepember 4 and spend the night
there. Men who wish to remain with
their families until the last moment
will be allowed to report at Union
Station early on the morning OF Sep

7,5OO MEN RUSH
WORK At ADMIRAL
/ BEFORE OFFICIALS

The official o. X has been put on
the work already done at Camp
Meade, where the Districts first quota
Of the national army will be trained.
Col I. W. Littell, construction chief
OF all the national cantonments, and
Maj. Gen. William c. Gorgas, former
sanitation officer OF the Canal Zone,
after a long visit to the camp yester-
day, expressed their approval OF the
work done.
A record In building work was
made while the officers were at the
camp. Shortly before daylight cars
were shunted on sidings with capacity
loads OF lumber, and when the men
quit for the day 100000 feet of lum-
Der had been transformed into build
ings.
Fully 1900 men were employed in
the work yesterday, the largest num-
Der so far at the camp.
Rumors that the water supply was
polluted were declared to be false by
Colonel Littell, after a close inspec-
tfon Of the water works. By use Of
the filtration system at Camp Meade,
Colonel Littell declared, all danger to
the health OF the men has been elimi-
mated Water is drawn from a
