When think on the happy days

| A 8 yuletide draws near, mans
/ ~ mind is very apt to revert to
~ happy Christmas times that
- have gone before. There lie
most always woman connected with
q man's:happy times and pleasant day
dreams. The man who left the farm
to make his fortune In the great city
and who has become rich, a bachelor
boarding at a fashionable hotel or club.
can usually recall some particularly
happy Christmas in the long ago-a
Christmas dinner In the old home,
taking his first sweetheart Christmas
eve to a ball In the town .haU ! the de-
light Of taking her home mile
through snow drifts on winter night.
He had written to her few times att.
er leaving home, then the excitement
Of city life had crowded her out of his
memory and his life. As Christmas
draws nigh again, thoughts carry him
back to the girl he loved when time
was young with him. On the impulse
of the moment he dashes of a letter
Ito her. He does not know whether
she will receive It. She may be mar.
ried or she may have moved away.
The old folks at home had been. care
full never to mention her even In an.
swer to his inquiries. -
How strange 1t is that the same
thought can all two different minds at
the same time. The girl of long ago.
still single, knowing he has not wed,
picks up courage to send a Christmas
card to the boy grown old now who
took her to her first ball on Christmas
eve. The letter and card cross each
other as each flies to its goal. The
bachelor finds It In his Christmas mail.
The lonely womani staftihg by a win
dow in far-oK farmhouse has a let
ter handed to her BY. a neighbOring
farmer who kindly fetched 1t to her
from the post Office Christmas morn.

glow In two hearts widely severed.
And yet there are people who won

NOTE OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS
Celebration Of savleur's Birth Com.
mands Attention OF All Nations :
Regardless Of RaMaes Of War.

On the great feast Of the Nativity,
Christmas, as 1t is popularly known,
there Is always q note Of hope and
cheer, even when many hands are
drenched in blood. It was 1917 years
ago that Christ was born, but the mes
sage he brought Is as fresh and COM
pelling as it was In the years long ago.
Over the little town of Bethlehem the
heavenly choir sang "Gloria In Ex-
celsis Deo'-"Glory be to God on high,
and on earth peace to men Of good
WILL" or, as some renderings Of the
Latin text have 1t, "and on earth peace
and good will towards men," That
blessed proclamation will 60 sounding
down the centuries to come until time
shall be no more.
Processing Christmas welcome today
as one of peculiar joy and gladness.
The nturgical churches celebrate II
with impressive services but all God
fearing people, whether they be con.
nected with the Christian body or that,
can but find a thrill and a lifting up
Of the soul In meditating upon the
birth Of Jesus and the mighty work
the redeemer came to accomplish.
Christmas comes to us with its hal
lowed greeting and with an inspira.
ton for higher purposes and true
Christian charity. May this be truly
a happy Christmas for enc and all.

Redwood Has Hold-Up

John Lamberton was the vic
tim of a hold-up last Saturday
night, and that he escaped as
cneaply as he did is due to his
GOODNESS. John was returning
home from the bus Office after
the arrival Of the last night
train, carrying about fifty-fve
dollars on his person. He was
suddenly accosted by a stranger
who held a gun rather too close
to John for comfort, and ordered
him to empty his pockets. John
proceeded to empty one pocket
containing nearly five dollars,
and forgot to mention to the
hold-up artist that in another
pocket he had about fifty dol
lars. Apparently the hold-up
man was satisfied that the small
er sum was all John was carry
ing, and took himself off. No
clue has been found to his iden-
tity as yet. However, friends
of the young man robbed are
pleased That the sum taken was
no larger and that there were
no other disastrous results.

Fair Board Gets Busy

The Redwood County Fair
Board met Monday evening and
made arrangements for the for
ty-fourth fair which will be held
at Redwood Falls September 25,
&c, ~ and %. The advertising
campaign was mapped out and
several preliminary details ar
ranged. 1t was also decided to
have nine races three each day
instead of six as formerly.
Special attractions were talked
of and it is probable several of
these will be added to the free
attractions already arranged for.
These free attractions include
four acts before the grandstand
every afternoon and evening and
a good pyrotechinic program
each evening. One of the spec
ial fireworks features will be the
Bombardment Of the Dardanel-
les by the British Dreadnaughts.
Some excellent vaudeville, trap
eze and bicycle stunts are also
offered.
The building recently injured
by the wind will be repaired
soon and the grounds put in or
der to accommodate the big ex-
Ihibits of livestock and farm prod
uce. With the many head of
splendid purebred stock in the
County, and the excellent crop
of grain and vegetables, the fair
this year should be an excep-
tional one from an educational
standpoint.

from the company captained by
Corporal Chauncey Welch and
Private Morrow, the former ag-

fans say it looks something like
"a certain Fourth of July rivalry
of a few years ago at North Red
wood when DIR. Sarchet succeed
ed in getting the Indians for his
Morgan team, while Colonel Ty-
son held on to the ball suits. The
boys of the company say the

lunches will consist of hamburg
err sandwiches, hot coffee, pie,
the toothsome ice cream cone
and other delicacies. It has been
whispered that some of the tai

Crop Is Good


Probably the first threshing
of the season was done Monday
on the Henry Schmidt farm,
Flora township, Renville County.
From seventeen acres OF oats,
1479 bushels was threshed-an
average yield of eighty-seven
bushels per acre. This is an ex-
cellent yield and there is every
indication that many other fields
in this section will give equally
as good crop. A sample of
wheat was also threshed on the
Schmidt farm and the result
was very satisfactory.

AUGUST 1917
Drafted Men Are
Being Examined
Redwood County Examination
Board Started Work Monday;
16O Examined Tues. Noon

Notices calling the first three
hundred fifty drafted men of
Redwood County were sent out
last week, and the examinations
began Monday morning. Nine
ty-five men were examined Mon
day and the total examination
up to Tuesday noon was one hum
dred sixty. No tabulations have
yet been made as to the results
of examinations, and it will be
impossible to give details until
the examinations have closed
and the Board has time to get
records classified. The Redwood
County Board consists of Sher-
iff F. Hassenstab and,Dr. T. E.
Finn of Redwood Falls and c..
M. Root of Morgan. Outside
physicians and others have been
called in to help with the exam
nations and with the clerical
work. The keeping of reports,
exemptions, claim records, ETC.,
makes very heavy work for the
clerks and assistants.
Under order of Gen. Wood,
the names of those claiming ex-
emption will be published, with
the reason for which exemption
is claimed. This does not apply
to those found physically unfit.

Mail Delivery
Begins Soon
Council Will Order Numbers
And Mail Boxes Thursday
Night; Cost Is Small

Redwood Falls will have city
mail delivery within a short time
Judging from the fact that the
putting up of street names is
rapidly being completed and that
a system of numbering the
houses has been worked out in
the Recorders office.
At the Thursday night meet
ing the City Council will order
the numbers for the houses, one
order for all the numbers assur-
ing uniformity of appearance
and minimum of cost. The
numbers will be neat white fig
ures on a black plate and can be
placed on the houses at a cost
of eighteen or twenty cents
apiece which is remarkably in
expensive.
Mail boxes selling at twenty
cents and forty cents apiece will
be shown to householders at the
same time the numbers are de-
livered, and can be purchased and
put in place at that time. At
least 80 per cent of the houses
of the city must be equipped
with numbers and boxes before
the service begins. 1t is we'll al
so to recall that householders
desiring the service must see
that there is a sidewalk leading
to the house.
There is apparently some con-
fusion as to how this service
will accommodate both the
homes and the business places.
However it is possible to make
arrangements to suit each indi-
vidual case so that the service
will be real benefit, both to the
business man at his office and to
his wife at the home. This mat
ter will be fully and satisfactor-
lily explained to anyone making
inquiry of the postmaster c. A.
Lauterbach.

Good Work Done
By Women Of
The Red Cross

Under the efficient manage
ment of Mrs. G.. R. Pease, chair
man of the Redwood Falls Red
Cross branch, the women of Red
wood Falls have done some ex-
cellent work. The actual work
of making supplies for base hos
pitfalls and soldiers started only
four weeks ago and during that
time the following articles have
been completed:
4 dozen hospital bedshirts.
!. 3 dozen pairs pajamas.
215 dozen shoulder wraps.
3 dozen knitted wash cloths
9 dozen pair bed socks.
3 dozen towels.
6 dozen 6 yard) bandages
cut and rolled.
Beside these articles made, 2
dozen sheets and 2 dozen pillow
cases have been purchased and
will be added to the box which
the Redwood County Red Gross
Chapter will send about August
Is.
The women of the city have
taken up the work seriously and
earnestly and many are making
great personal sacrifice in order
TO give freely of their time and
work. Mrs. j. Albert johnson
and Mrs. s. L. Leonard have
been especially faithful and en-
ergetic in the work of cutting
garments, supervising the max
ing, etc., and are to be commend,
ed for their work. More work
ers are needed, however, and i
is hoped that more women viii
find it possible to take up the
work.
