Death Of Mrs. Y. Wdrrinq.

Grant county people who were
acquainted with the V. Warning
family will sorrow to learn that
Mrs. Warning died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. H. j. Keller at
White Bear, Mimi, on Aug. 6, in
the SOth year Of her age. The
Warnings were pioneers in this
county, settling on a farm in Vern-
on township in 1882. They moved
from here to Osak s, Minn., and
later to Lake City, Mimi where
Mr.. Warning died about a year
ago. Mrs. Warning had been ILL.,.
but was recovering. She had gone
to bed the night before expecting
to leave her daughters home for
her own home at Lake City the
next morning, but when her daugh-
ter went to awaken her to get ready
for the train she found her dead in
bed. All the indications were that
she had passed away without awak-
ing. The deceased lady was low
able gentle woman, and all the old
Grant county friends cherish the
most kindly remembrances of her. i.

Is it a Good ThinQ?
Some Comments from the Clergy as
TO Sunday Sports

The Herald Advance sent a
request to the several clergymen
of the city asking an expression
OF their opinions as to the advis-
ibility of auto racing or similar
sports on Sunday as amusement
for the community. We give
below the answers so far as they
have been received.
In fairness to the promoters
of the recent races we wish to
state that we have been assured
by one of them that it has not
been the intention of the manage
ment to make the Sunday racing
a permanent thing.
The large crowd Of autos
which the races attracted last
Sunday indicates the interest
taken in speeding matters, but
let us have the sport, as has been
suggested without the violation
of the moral sense of the COM
munity
We wish to thank the several
clergymen for the presentation
of their views as expressed in
their communications; while the
views presented are perhaps
only those Of the individuals
themselves, they in a general
way, undoubtedly, forecast the
views of the congregations they
represent The Herald-Advance
wishes to be entirely fair and we
offer our columns next week or
at any time to those who differ
with US on this question that
they may present their views
An open discussion Of any dis
puted question is always a good
thing. This is our American
way of getting at truth. Below
are some of the responses to
our request:

your request I herewith hand you

(6). They are air to the peo-
pie OF the countryside, especially the
youth, in putting the temptation to
Sabbath de,ecration before them and
making it easy for them to break di-
vine and human laws.
ID. They are not fair to the may
or and peace officers of the city. 1t
is unthinkable that these will permit
the continuance Of this Aagrant
breach of the ordinances, but in en-
forcing the laws in accordance with
their oaths of Office they must risk a
breach of pleasant and friendly rela-
tions with valued business and social
colleagues. 1t is painful to me speak
thus: it will be still IN re so for them
to act Let us hope that there will be
no necessity. Let's have the races on
some day when we can all go. Sim

DEAR SIR: Replying to your re-
quest asking my opinion in regard to
Sunday sports and amusements, [
would say that we regard it amiss
when pastor S such uses his intlu-
ence In favor Of or in opposition to
an! local, state or national legisla
ton. AS a plain citizen he Tay and
should conscientiously do so. As
pastor he is the instructor and ad-
visor of his church, but only in
spiritual matters. Now when objec-
tionab!e things 90 on either on Sun
day or any other day which threaten
To keep his church members from at
tending to t. cir Sunday duties or to
their Christian duties at any time.
he has his pulpit and his week day
intercourse wi h them when he is to
advise and warn as may he required.
II this principle were acted upon gen
orally. legislation pertaining to the
above mentioned mat ers would either
become supertlous or take natural
or reasonable, not churchly or
theological aspect and course. But
in general | would state that the usual
Sunday and holiday sports and
amusements OF to-day, where the
crowds are to be seen, are neither
conductive to bodily rest nor helpful
to spiritual advancement. Rather
the opposite is the case. Hence a
Christian will know whittier to wend
his way and how to comport himself.

Ev. Luth Pastor.

Shll Making the Army

The local board of examiners
for the new army have been
faithfully at work during the
week. AS the work is entirely
new not only for the local boards
but for the government itself,
there are many questions con.
tlnually arising that are difficult
to determine, and it may be that
some Of the rules first laid down
may later be modified or changed
as conditions present them. 1t
is the purpose of the government
to be absolutely fair in it's Sc.
lection of the drawn men, and
the local board has no option but
to follow the rules as laid down.
The war is calling upon Us all to
make sacrifices. To some of us
the sacrifice is SO intinitesimal
in comparison TO the blessings
we have enjoyed under this great
free country that it makes one
ashamed to refer to it as a sacri.
flee. To others it will mean the
supreme sacrifice of life itself,
broken households, loss of hus-
band, brother, son or friend, but
whatever it may be, the price can
be none too great, as upon the
success of the enterprise upon
which the nation has embarked
will depend the peace and liber-
ty not only Of our own country
but of the civilized world.
AS has been asserted, the local
board has responsible task,
and the members Of it are trying
to do their work with fidelity to
the government. The govern
ment has appointed Attorney
Robt Jones to look after it's in
terests, and the cases of all par
ties who claim exemptions or are
exempted by the local board will
be looked into by Mr.. Jones on
behalf of the United States, and
if there be fa'se swearing or
false presentation of facts these
will be placed in the hands of
federal authorities for prosecu-
ton of the guilty and those ex-
empted on false grounds will
again undergo examination.
In addition to the 35 names
published last week, as to be sent
on to the stat board, the follow
ing have been added:
