Second Cattle
Sale Next Week
Crimmins and Gold Bring $50
Head More of Young Stock
to Put on Farms of County
SALE SEPTEMBER IS
Farmers Again to Have Chance
to Buy Feeders And Stock
ers of High Grade

Crimmins and Gold have
brought $50 head more of young
stock from the farms of Dakota
and Canada and will sell them
at public auction at the Grim
minis pasture, Thursday. Sep
TENDER Ii. Included in the ship
ment are 25 head of fine milk
cows, which, in view of the Dol
lar Butter predicted by Armour
for the winter months, should
be eagerly sought by purchasers.
Redwood County will have
this fall an immense amount of
roughage and probably a good
deal of soft corn. Along with
this fact the thoughtful farmer
will digest the fact that 2O-cent
beef is coming just as surely as
20-cent pork is here. There is
only one thing to do to turn the
present situation into wealth
such as has seldom visited this
county before. Hog the corn
and cow the roughage." The re-
suit will be milk and beef and
consequent dollars. The Grim
minis and Gold sales give all an
equal opportunity to provide
themselves with the necessary
stock.
w. H. Gold is convinced that
the golden opportunity for 1917
Is is in this stock and has placed
ITO on a single farm which he
owns near Wabasso as we'll as
many head in smaller groups on
several of his other farms. His
example has already been fol-
lowed by several others of the
best farmers of this community.
The sale of feeding cattle
held by Crimmins and Gold last
Tuesday was a great success and
by means of it many farmers in
Redwood and Renville counties
were supplied with cattle which
they will feed on their farms
during the fall and winter, get
ting them ready for the market
which promises to be the high
est it has been for many years.
The purchasing farmers showed
good judgment in thus provid-
ing themselves with the means
for future profit and each one
felt that his money had been
wisely invested.
The entire number sold was
1923, G.. H. Fredriksen of Gem
ents, the largest purchaser, TAX
ing 66 head. This was a consis-
tent buy on the part of Mr.. Fred
riksen, he having been one of
the biggest cattle feeders in
the County for several years.
Simpson and Kelly purchased 80
head and the same number was
bought by C. Buscho of Morton.
The stock is all young and in
just the right condition to take
on flesh rapidly under the care
of these experts.
Messrs. Crinmins and Cod
expect to import more of these
Canadian cattle for distribution
in this vicinity within a very
short time. In view of the small
number of young cattle now
here and the large amount of
feed there will be this fall, this
is very timely and wise thing
to do. $1,000 was the aggre-
gate amount fo the first sale.

and to testify their loyalty to
the government of the United
States, and incidentally their
enemity to the government with
which this country is now at

tor in its success.

Sen. Frank Clague, who acted

PRODUCED Andrew D. Stewart,
chairman of the Redwood Coun-

first speaker. Mr.. Stewart, in a
hull well-chosen words, stated

Unity to the service, and also
expressed feelingly to the boys
he idea that wherever they

John 5:2-9

John 5:2-9
 Now there is at Jersualem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda. hay ing five porches.
 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt. witcher- ed, waiting for the moving of the water.
 For an angel went down at cer- tain season into the pool. and troubled the water: whosever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of what soever disease he had.
 And certain man was there. which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
 The imDotent man answered him. Sir I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while l am coming, another steppeth down before me.
 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up they bed, and walk.
 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked and on the same day was the sabbath.

The Quiescent Mule

One of the most interesting stories which has come from the is the mule an inevitable par ticipant in all modern wars, has lost his voice. The output of Missouri songster has been shown by a scientist somewhere in France be entirely superfluous and in modern warfare may be ex- tremey harmful.
 Hundreds of thousands of mules have been shipped France since the war began, and homesickness for the green fields brown fodder stacks his native heath, longing for company of his intellectual caliber a poetic desire salute the rising sun, caused him unburden himself of a few hee-haws that without result along the battle lines
 The watchful German batteries, hearing the mules salvo, replied with few explosives, big box cars, in the immediate vicinity of the vocalization, with results often fatal, not only mule but the in his vicinity.
 A French scientist examined the beasts bray, and decided that a simple operation would eliminate it. The experiment tried and, doubtless mules surprise when he lifted his toward the heavens and through his usual mechanical operation, there noise.
 All the other mules in the French and English armies have been operated and the haw been extinguished, and life is much safer along the shell torn front
 The name of the scientist has us but we respectfully suggest that he devote his ton to the problem of producing kickless mule If the mules song be muted without undermining his health, there would to be reason why he might not be treated that it would be impossible him stub his the jaw of his driver other incautious person in his vicinity
 Verify science is doing much for the comfort and the safety of the human race!

Our Part In the War.

The country is in a state of war though not phy- sicaly war, but every day move more swiftly just a body with increasing speed as it the vortex of the whirlpool. It may be a curi- ous war one which will hardly a war-rpple anywhere in the and It may be that it will involve suffering us, only voluntary loss of life and the loss of property. Our part in it may be nothing than the offering of financial aid and comfort the allies. the opening of our ports their ships, and in these things, the United States may become the deciding factor in the great world struggle without having taken physical part in it.
 Thatswn probably depend upon the developments of the next two three months the progress of fensive should be maintained and the resistance of Germany should be shown steadily weakening, would probably be called upon for nothing but financial assistance and for assistance in keeping the lanes clear of submarines.
 But if the allies should be brought to standstll; if the offensive should be succeeded by great counter offensive such the genius of von Hnden- burg is supposed to be arranging, demand will be made upon this country for troops, for power will be badly needed. France long ago drained and though there has been a notable increase of Great Brains contribution to man-power the supply. it is pointed out is wholly inadequate Enlistments in Canada have fallen off, though possibly they have been maintained in other British colonies.
 Doubtless there will be many enstments of American citizens Thousands of Americans had joined the Canadian contingent and, perhaps thou sands of others would have done but for the state of neutrality of this country That reason for not enlisting will be wholly removed if is not al ressy removed when may expect many volunteer organizations will be formed here become units in the allied forces.

ARMOUR MAKES HIS MEN LOVE HIM

J. o. Armour, the well known packer of Chicago, takes great personal interest in his men, and they reflect that interest. In article written by Merle Crowell for the February American Magazine this is said:
 J. O. takes an intimate interest in the daily life of his away from the office Subordinates in other cities do escape him. He knows just how many children most of his branch managers have, where they are being educated and how they get ting along.
 His memory is prodigious He asks questions continuously and seeks to retain everything he hears
 When his men go the pension roll on account of illness old age it often happens that their pen sions not large enough to pay medical bills or other extra expenses and support their families in comfort In such cases J. O.. makes up plentiful balance from his personal account-and there is only the instinct of the to tell them whence comes the surplus. Usually when MT. Armour hears Of a baby arriving in the family of of his employees he repenshes the fathers pocketbook with suitable sized 4check. Incidentally he has had more youngs- after him than falls often to the lot of presidential candidate.

This propaganda has had in 1t more than a grain of truth as Ter gards national guard duty in case of strikes; but when the broader ques- tion of national defense is concerned, the case is quite different
 A fine example of the spirit of Organized labor to rally to the sup port of the nation, was given last night when the United Association of Plumbers and Steam Filters, local No. 469, voted to hold themselves in readiness for any call which their country might impose.
 This organization comprising every journeyman plumber in Phoenix, has done much to better the sanitary conditions. and should their generous offer be accepted, there is no ques- tion but that the same high standard of duty would govern them in mili- tary life.
