Eldon A. Mason

Eldon A. Mason, for the most
of a long life a resident of Red
wood Falls, died at the home of
his son, Frank C. Mason, at Los
Angeles, Saturday morning,
June 16. Death was due to
heart trouble and was the result
of a long illness following a
severe attack Of grippe which
Mr.. Mason contracted last Nov
ember. Funeral services were
held June 19, the pall-bearers be-
ing former Redwood County res
idents including Thomas March,
C. B. Jennings, J.AR. McPhee,
Jack Allen, Byron Moore and w.
D. Hammond. Irterment was
made in the Forest Lawn ceme-
terry at Los Angeles.
Mr.. Mason was born at Mont
pelier, Vermont, May 6, 1851,
and came to Minnesota and Red
wood County at a very early
date. July 3, 1877, he was
married to Elizabeth Jane Ar
mold who died September 5, 1905.
To them were born two sons ;
Frank, who is the only one to
survive his father, and Emory,
who was killed November 5,
1913.
Mr.. Mason was connected with
much of the early history of
Redwood County. During his
younger life he was connected
with the stage lines which ran
between New Ulm, Mankato and
Redwood Falls before Redwood
had any railroad connection.
Later he went into the employ
of the c. & N. w. R. R. and was
with the surveying crew when it
was surveyed from Tracy, Mimi,
west to Pierre, South Dakota.
After the road was completed he
was engineer on that division.
On leaving the employ of the c..
& N. w. r. R. he returned to
Redwood and went into business
for himself machinery, plumb
ing and steam fitting with shop
located near his residence. He
remained in this business until
few years ago when he sold
out and went to Minneapolis
where he stayed until fall of
1912 when he went to Los
Angeles, Cal. He then made
several trips back and forth be-
tween Redwood and Los Angeles
while looking after his property.

Good Meeting
Held At WabaSSO
Public Safety Commission and
Red Cross Organize
For Work.
(From Wabbaso Standard)

w 0oodOO W
A rousing patriotic meeting
was that which was held at the
City Hall in this city on Tuesday
afternoon when the Public Safe
Ity Commission and the Red
Cross was organized for the
county. ALI parts Of the county
were represented and demon
strated their attitude towards
the present crises and needs of
the county. The first meeting
of the afternoon was the Public
Safety meeting which was held
at one o'clock. Mr.. Stewart was
appointed temporary chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. Gunnel-
son clerk, and these appoint
ments were later made perman-
ent, when the meeting was voted
permanent organization. Mr..
Ball was appointed treasurer of
the organization.
The chairman then read the
articles of the Public Safety
Commission and explained them
to those present before it was
voted to accept them. 1t was
explained that every man, wom-
an and child was eligible to this
organization, which is being or
ganized for the purpose of hav-
ing the reserve and the affairs
of the public in this state so
we'll in hand that when the time
comes, if the time should come,
that they will be SO we'll organ
lied that they will be able to give
the best results possible to the
call of the government.
j. l.. Torrens and P. A. Cal
laghan were appointed as the
local directors and will have
charge of the work that will be
allotted to this township. They
will call on whoever they see fit
to accomplish their work, and
these men who are called on will
have to help with this work.
The speakers Of the afternoon
for this meeting were DR.. Sar-
chet, Mr.. Praxel, Mr.. Baldwin
and Mr.. Stewart. All of these
spoke along the needs of the
day and the state that the coun-
try was in at the present time,
and what we owe to the country
and to the boys who are offering
their lives, where all that we
who will have to stay at home
will be able to do is to give to-
wards the financial end of the
war and prepare the things at
home so that those who have to
go across to the foreign coun-
tries and fight will have the
best care that we can give them
After the Public Safety Com
mission concluded their meeting
the meeting was turned over to
the Red Cross Society and the
business of organizing a county
organization was taken up. DR.

FIGRT ME- SLES IN THE FALL
BY Combating the Disease Now the
Spring Epidemies May Be Avoid
ed, Says Physician.

Now is the time to be on the alert
against measles, according to DR.. o.
F. Bradford, preventive medicine ex-
pert oil the University Of Missouri
Spring is the season of greatest pre-
yalency of measles, says Doctor Brad
ford, but by combating the disease in
the fall and winter, spring epidemics
may be prevented.
1t is a common error to consider
measles a trifling disease. AS a mat
ter of fact. the percentage of mortal.
ity in measles is not high. 1t is often
a disease without special danger,
nevertheless, there is a certain per-
centage Of death to be expected, and
it is so widespread that the total NOR
tally is high. In 1916 more than H.,
900 children died in the United States
from this disease-a greater number
of deaths than was caused by either
dlpbtheria Or scarlet fever, both of
which are dreaded by all. Case for
case, diphtheria and scarlet fever are
more fatal than measles, but in the
aggregate, neither of them kill as
many children as measles does.
Measles is catching during the early
stages when the nose is running and
the eyes watering. It continues to be
catching until the eruption has beeh
out for about SO hours. After this, 1t
is not dangerous 10 others. 1t is i'm
portant to exclude from school all chill
dren in early stages of measles. A
Eight case in one child may produce
a fatal case in the next child, there
fore, mild cases should be watched
just as carefully as the more severe
ones.
Measles is the most difficult of all
diseases to control by quarantine, and
requires more care to prevent its
spread. The germ has not been dis
cove ed, Int is known to be the Sc
cretion of the upper respiratory tract,
and can be demonstrated in the blood
for a time, but disappears within &c
hours after eruption comes out.

FOR A BIG COLLEGE REUNION
Missouri UniVersity-May Entertain
Old "Grads" From Many Schools
at Thanksgiving Game.

A great reunion, not only OF old Mis-
sourians and Kansans, but of the
alumni of Harvard and Yale as we'll,
will be held at Columbia T%hanksgiv-
ing Day if the plans Of Athletic Di-
rector w. L. Meanwell are carried out.
Director Meanwell believes that al
the Harvard-Yale game has been can
celled this year it will be an oppor-
tunity for Missouri to interest the
alumni of those schools living in this
territory in the big annual Tiger-Jay-
hawker struggle.
Despite war conditions director
.Meanwell is planning on the same
big seating capacity that was arranged
two years ago. Seats for $500 per-
sons, some of them temporarily erect
ed for the one game, are 10Y on sale.
The seating arrangement will be much
the same as it was last year in many
respects, Missouri rooters and alumni
being placed on the south side of the
field in the concrete bleachers, and
the Kansans being seated in the north
bleachers, which will be built within
the next few weeks.
Applications may be made, starting
at once, and the actual allotment OF
seats will be made starting November
10. Applications and notices of hotel
accommodations are being mailed this
week 10 two thousand of ai1ani and
friends of the university, not only in
Missouri and Kansas, but in all parts
of the United States.

tory and people, thus retaining lac, 100000 which, with his
70,000,000 Germans, leaves the Pan-German Empire with
over 100000 600 of people and exteding from the North
Sea to within four hundred miles Of the Persian Gulf.
Today the kaiser is spending millions through his a.
gents influencing and bribing members Of the press, Of the
Judiciary, of legislatures. AS Germany has not been invaded,
peace without victory means that while the rest of the world
RECEIVERS from its billions Of loses, Germany will strengthen
her military machine and then complete the Germanization
of the whole world.
"FRIGHTFULNESS"
German efficiency has been chiefly manifest in~her plan
of frightfulness and terrorism. Nineteen centuries of Chris
tan morals had developed conscience in Martin Luther's
descendants and instilled certain moral principles in the
minds of young men. But the conquest Of Belgium, France
England and Russia was not possible with soldiers who were
embarrassed by remorse or by the Ten Commandments.
C%onquering Belgium and France meant the breaking-down
of the intellect and the will until the people were cowed.
In his war manual given to every German soldier, Gen
eral Won Hartmann, the author, distctly says that the sol
der must stamp out all humanitarianism from his heart and
that considerations of pity for human life and property
must be wholly eradicated from the soldiers mind. The
great problem, therefore, was how to release the soldier
from any bondage to conscience, from any former fetter
through the Ten Commandments and from any fear of flu
ture punishment in connection with God and the Day of
Judgment
Finally the kaiser and his war staff thought of the
German token" This is of aluminium, about the size of a
silver dollar. At the top is a portrait Of the kaiser's god
a monstrous being, holding a sword in his right hand. Be
meath are the words:

An Old Mans stomach.

AS we grow older and less ac-
tive, less and less food is requir-
ed to meet the demands of our
bodies. If too much is habitually
taken, the stomach will rebel.
When a man reaches the adyanc-
ed age of So or 80, you will find
that he is a light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the
need of Chamberlain's Tablets to
correct the disorder. These tab
let's do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions
naturally. They also cause 8
gentle movement of the bowels.

THE SOLDIER,S K

In advance, for months, the German officers drilled the
words on this token into the minds of the private soldiers.
If the German boy said: Jesus teaches woe unto him who
ofends one of my little ones; it were better for him if a
milestone were hanged about his neck and he were drowned
in the bottom Of the sea" by this token the kaiser answers:
"The Day of Judgment will ask you no questions. The
token also explains the kaiser's charge tohis soldiers, start
ing to China: you will take no prisoners. You will give no
quarter" 1t is this that explains the devastated regions of
Belgium, western and eastern France.
In the face of all their treaties with France, Great
Britain and the United States, the Germans took this sol
dier's token as their example and guide. From the moment
they crossed the Belgian and the French line the German
advance became an orgy Of crime, arson and lust. Neither
the ancient Huns nor the Spanish Inquisitors, nor the Sioux
Indians with their scalping knives ever were guilty of such
atrocities! This is evidenced by the inquests held after the
various German retreats by properly constituted legal COM
missions, taking testimony, photographing the bodies and
preserving the afidavts.
AS one out of thousands, | mention affdavits by twenty
five witnesses established one ~atrocity-namely, eight
drunken German soldiers marched ont of a village they had
ruined carrying a naked baby skewered on a bayonet with
all the soldiers singing drunken songs as they marched.
The mere catalog of their crimes fills the heart with anguish.
A young man crucifed upon a door-Captain Falon and his
violated and mutilated. Old men and women murdered in
ways that only devils could conceive. This token explains
the diary of a German soldier taken from his dead body.
Burned Harte today. We killed all the inhabitants. We
live gorgeously. Three bottles of champaign at each meal
Plenty of girls, too. 1t is great sport"
