Chas. Schoelkopf.

Funeral services were held at
the Thompson home Friday for
Chas. Schoelkopf who met death
sby suffocation while working at
well digging near Franklin.
The Franklin Tribune de-
scribes the accident as follows !:
''Mr. Schoelkopf, a resident OF
Redwood Falls, was employed
with the crew that are digging
a we'll on the Hans Jensen farm,
a mile and a half north of here.
They were using the customary
large anger and in the course of
the boring encountered large
stones that obstructed it's path.
These, of course, needs must be
removed and-it was in such an
attempt that he met his fate.
The hole was filled with poison
Gus gas and when he was low
cred into it, he lost conscious
ness and died of suffocation.
Help was called from town
and Marshal Scott went out and
with the assistance of Mr.. Ar
nett, the owner of the outfit,
succeeded, by the use of hooks,
in getting the body out Of the
we'll"
Mr.. Schoelkopf leaves a wife
and a family of small children
to mourn his loss as well as his
parents and many other rela-
tives. His parents were present
at the funeral as well as his
brother, his grandmother and
other relatives.

Land Sells w ell

Through the William M. Smith
Land Co. of Redwood Falls, the
Theodore Biggers farm, three
miles east of Redwood Falls, was
sold last week for $145 an acre
an unparelled price for an
eighty-acre tract. The purchaser
is c.. Ritzman of Marcus, Iowa,
who will take possession March
1, 1918, Mr.. Biggers and his
family coming to Redwood Falls
to live.
Four years ago Mr.. Biggers
bought the eighty at S73 per
acre and expended about $4,000
in making additional improve
He modestly gives corn,
clover and a silo the credit for
the very marked increase in val
ue. However, men who are
acquainted with Mr.. Biggers'
methods of farming are of the
opinion that his knowledge of
all that the words good farm
ing" implies is also a potent fac
tor in the increase in land value.

ScOrns Those Who Would Fight
at Home; All Should
Follow.

Archbishop John Ireland
scorned the attitude of what he
termed fight at home patriots"
and advocated the deportation of
all disloyal Americans in an ad-
dress at the dedication exercises
Of the Knights of Columbus rec
reation hall at Fort Smelling Fri

loyal citizen of the United States
should be to defend the country
where it needs defending"
Archbishop Ireland said. when
the blow has been directed
against the nation, let the gov
eminent determine the fighting
ground.
1T is the duty of all Ameri-
cans to follow at this time re-
CARELESS of a previous attitude
on fighting in Europe.
'The talk of some of our peo-
pie on the decision to send troops
to France makes one believe that
they are the kind of patriots who
like to please when the cost is
little"
The archbishop made no ref
erence to the recent peace pro-
posals of Pope Benedict.
Scores of persons from the
Twin Cities heard Judge C. D.

Lewis Kelly, Thomas Dryer, Ma
thias. Baldwin, and other speak
ers laud the spirit which actual
ed the Knights of Columbus to
erect the recreation hall, which,

Mrs. Parsons Dies

Mrs. Ellen Parsons, wife of
Charles Parsons, died last Fri
day on the train returning from
Rochester where she mad gone
for medical aid. The body was
brought to Redwood Falls where
it was prepared for burial and
then taken to Ligonier, Ind,
where it was buried in the fam
lily cemetery.
MIR. and Mrs. Parsons lived
for the past few years near Del
hi, disposing of their interests
there last fall and spending the
winter in Oklahoma and in trav-
e.. This spring they returned
to Redwood County where they
have been for the past several
weeks at the homes of their
sons, Albert and John Parsons.
Mrs. Parsons had suffered for
some time from goitre as well
as other complications which
made it impossible for the ply
sicians at Rochester to give her
assistance and she was advised
by them to return home. 1t was
on the trip from Mankato to
Sleepy Eye, after having had a
light luncheon, that she was TAX
en- with a bad choking spell and
died before physician could be
reached. Mrs. Parsons was
about fifty-five years of age and
is survived by her husband, four
sons and a daughter.

Some Crop

w. F. Jackson threshed sixty
five acres of wheat and oats
twenty-five of one and forty of
the other-on his farm in Sheri-
dan Township last Friday. Even
at Fridays low prices, the
amount threshed was worth just
$4,000. 1t seems probable that
Redwood County farmers are
very likely to starve to death
next winter.

Model 'l8 Car is Here

Probably the first of the new
1918 automobile models to ar
rive in Redwood Falls, is the Cad
lilac 8 sent out Monday by the
Northwestern Cadillac Company
of Minneapolis for the company's
local distributor, R. Stensvad, to
use for demonstration purposes.
While the 1917 model Cadillac
had seemed to embody most of
the factors of absolute automo-
bile perfection, the 1918 model
shows several features of i'm
provement. The lines Of the
body and cowl have been modi-
fled so that the much admired
stream line has been improved,
adding greatly to the elegance
of appearance which has always
been a Cadillac feature; the
doors are now built. square,
thereby adding to their roomi-
ness; the one-man top has been
improved until it is-absolutely
all that it's name implies-a
spring in the arm of the car
making it a most effective arm
in the raising process; the up
holstery has been changed from
lustrous leather to dull-fnished
leather-which is more practic-
able for hard service. Improve
ments have also been made in
the mechanism, not the least of
these being the building of the
engine with a removable head
which sEnplifies greatly the care
of the engine. fitting reflectors
to the lights are another inn
provement, making it unneces-
sary to use DINNERS or colored
glass and absolutely safe for
the driver of the approaching
car as well as the driver of the
Cadillac. These are merely a
few of the things which have
been done to increase the ele-
gance, usefulness and service
which have always been the ear
marks of cars of this make. The
1918 Cadillac is patrician- as
nearly a thoroughbred as a man.
made automobile can be.

SEN. KELLOGG SAYS:

We took up arms only
when it was necessary to
protect the most sacred
rights of American citi-
zenship, and to preserve
our national existence. If
Germany were to succeed
in this war, with her pow
er of oppression, we must
answer for the result. We
must fight her now with
the help of other nations
or alone later. And we
are not going to involve
ourselves in the politics
of Europe, decide wheth-
er France shall have Al
sace-Lorraine, Italy the
Trentino, or Russia realize
her dreams of the Golden
Horn, but we are going to
continue this war until
that autocratic power has
been rendered helpless to
again plunge an innocent
world into such a trag-
edy."
