CHURCHES, BURN WOOD
More Suitable Than Coal, Anyhow,
Especially in Rural Districts.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Even the
churches. especially in rural sections,
can ioin in the movement to offset the
fifty million ton shortage in coal by
substituting wood wherever practical
bic, the department of agriculture
and the fuel administration point out
today.
Wood has an obvious advantage in
heating churches, says the agricultural
experts, because the heat is required
only occasionally and then is wanted
quickly in large volume. No other
fuel answer that specification so well.
The same suggestion is true in lesser
degree to rural schools, lodge and
grange halls and similar places.

A WORD TO MEN
AND A WORD TO WOMEN
Get Everybody To Join The Red Cross
And Join Now.
lRy Bishop William LawreneeO

(By Bishop William Lawrenee)
A word to men. A New York man
is Just dropping his business. which
has brought him in $4,000 year, to
go to Europe for the Red Cross. no
salary. He does not talk about IL;
why do you mention it?" you ask.
Lots OF men are doing the same
thing. Some men are giving up big
ger incomes, and thousands of me-
chanics and laboring men are drop
ping their wages and enlisting in the
army and navy"
I mention it in order that every man
in the country may feel that he is on
call when his country wants him,
Soldiers and sailors are ready to give
their lives. All honor to them. The
time. money and life of every citizen
belong TO his Nation. All honor,
therefore, to those citizens who con-
secrate their time, and life in all sorts
of war interests at home and abroad.
Through the Red Cross opportunities
of service are given to thousands Of
men who without the Red Cross would
not know where to put their time and
energies in the country's service.
A word to women. What an anxi-
Gus, restless and unhappy mass Of
women of this country would be IL
they did not have some definite work
to do for the boys and men in the
camps and trenches and hospitals!
In every village, town and city groups
OF women are gathered together max
ing bandages for the soldiers. Out
upon the farms and plains lonely
women are knitting sweaters and muf-
flers As their fingers work, their
minds move also, with the thought of
what they are doing for those who are
fighting to defend their homes. No
one can calculate the steadiness and
sincerity which the Red Cross work
gives to millions Of women
A word to the boys and girls.
Whether you are at school or at
work, you can do something for the
soldier and sailor and the Red Cross.
You can save your pennies and nick
els up to one dollar, and become
member of the Red Cross. Lots Of
you can make ii five dollars. You
can go after the men and women of
the town and get them to join the Red
Cross
In passing twenty people in the
street today, you pass one Red Cross
member When you have lifted the
membership from five million to fif-
teen million you will meet one Red
Cross member in every seven people
that you pass. Why not make it five?
One out of every five people in the
country, men, women and children.

OF members will do it, Why not try?

subscription to bond that helps the
government; it is by actually lending
money to the government and not by
merely promising it and shifting the
load to some one else that the citizen
really helps in this great time.
There is no desire, however, on the
part of the government to prevent or

The courage and resources of the
nation are so abundant that America s
success in the war is beyond question

PARENTS AND FOUR
CHILDREN MURDERED
School Teacher Finds Bodies Upon
Returning to Her Boarding
Place

Olivia Times: A horrible tragedy
occurred in Redwood county, near
the village of Clement sometime be-
tween Friday afternoon and Sunday
day night which resulted in the
death of William Kleeman, his wife
and four children. The bodies of
the six persons were found by Miss
Ruth Snyder, a teacher who boarded
at the Kleeman home and had just
returned from spending Saturday
and Sunday away.
She wondered at the silence of the
place as she entered the kitchen, and
then stopped short as the stark body
of Kleeman, hanging from a rope at
tached to a hook in the ceiling, con-
fronted" her. All alone in the death
house, the girl said she did not even
think of flight. From the table she
seized a knife, mounted chair and
cut the rope, stumbling to the floor
as the body pulled her down. For
some time she worked over the body,
vainIy striving to revive the man.
Then she wondered at the absence
of the other members of the family,
and fearsomely entered. the next
room. The dorr to the bedroom ad-
Joining was open and in the faint
light she saw an ak on the floor.
In two beds she found the ak MUIR
dered victims-the mother with her
four weeks old baby and another
child in one, and the two older chill
dren in the other, all apparently
slain as they slept.
At first it was thought that the
murder was committed by Kleeman
who afterwards hanged himself, the
! theory being that he had brOOded
over financial difficulties, until his
mind became deranged, but this
theory was abandoned when a note
signed by Mr.. Kleeman was found
on the premises the day following
The note reads:

greet with enthusiasm ''Tosca" and

MORRIS SAYS GODSPEED
TO HIGBIE AND VINCENT
More Than $50 Citizens Attend Fare
well Banquet at-Merchants Hotel
Friday Night

More than $50 people of Morris
and vicinity attended the banquet at
the Merchants hotel last Friday
night and many more were turned
away because of the lack of room.
The banquet was given by the city
of Morris and the University farm
school in honor of President Vincent,
who delivered the commencement ad-
dress for the University farm school
seniors at the Orpheum theatre at
8 D. m. Friday, and Supt. H1gble.
President Vincent in his new work as
executive head of the Rockefeller

er visit Morris again. Supt. and
Mrs. Higbie left for Chicago on the
early morning train, Immediately at
ter the banquet. Mr.. Higbie will
take post graduate work at Chicago
University and Columbia University
to prepare himself for bigger field
of service in agricultural education.
Although everyone present was
saddened at the realization of the de-
parture of Supt. Higbie and the presi-
dent from the state, the speeches OF
DR.. Vincent, Supt. digbie and num-
Der of the University farm school
faculty and citizens of Morris told
of the good work accomplished by
the AGRICULTURAL school at Morris and
of the great possibilities of the future
for the institution made the occasion,
nevertheless a happy and memorable
one.
The true worth of Mr.. and Mrs.
Higbie as citizens, neighbOrS and
friends was told by each of the
speakers. Those present realized as
never before when Mr.. Higbie's
friends and associates of the school
faculty told of what he has done for
the Morris school, of what he and
the University farm school has
meant to the city.
Prof Paul E. Miller, the new sup
erintendent of the agricultural
school was the POSTMASTER and was
mentioned by all of the speakers as
the logical successor of Mr.. Higbie.

Twin CITY Grand Onera

The Boston National Grand Opera
Company will enter upon it's second
annual season in the Twin Cities
with it's welcome assured by it's pre-
vious presentations.
No more substantial testimony of
the artistic promise of it's coming
four performances is necessary than
the assurance that the organization
in every respect equals, and in some
respects surpasses, that of last year.
All of the stars of last season have
been retained and reinforced by
others of international repute. The
company has the same splendid or
chestra and chorus that contributed
to last years artistic success and the
same magnificent scenic production
and cOstuming, taken from the fam
Gus Boston Opera House and designed
and executed by Bakst, Urban and
Stropa.
In arranging the repertoire for
this tour Managing Director, Max
Rabinoff, has selected operas in
which the stars of the organization
appear to their best individual ad-
vantage and with a view to fitting
each performance with the most ap-
prOpriate caste.
"TOSCA"
This opera will be given with an
ideal caste, including Giovanni Zen
atellO, generally conceded to be one
of the two greatest living dramatic
tenors, as Cavaradossi, Luisa VILLAIN,
one of the first dramatic soprano
principals of the Boston Grand Opera
Company, as Tosco, George Bak-
lanOff, the great Russian baritone,
as Scarpia, Virgilio Lazzari, the en-
inent Italian basso, as Angelotti,
PaOlo Ananian as Sacristan and 9TH
ers.
IRIS"
Mascagni's idyIIic Japanese Opera
was placed in the list primarily as
an interesting novelty, but also to
give to the famous Japanese lyric
soprano, Tamaki Miura, another role

land and America.
"AIDA"
Verdi's majestic Aida" offers the
same great opportunities to the trio
of pre-eminent dramatic singers who
appear in "Tosca, ''-Zenatello as Ra-
danes, VILLAIN as Aida and Bak-
lanoff as Amonasro. To these are
added the world famed contralto,
Mira Gy, as Amneris, and Jose Mar
dones in another gratifying vehicle
as Ramfis.
These four offerings will appeal
to music lovers of all tastes and pre-
ferences should find their favorite
art forms, for compositions of four
