ANDREW LINDBERG,

Andrew Lindberg, one Of the pioneers
OF the town of Mamre. this county, but
for some years q resident of this city,
passed to his eternal rest on Monday
morning, May z. The cause of death was
heart disease from which he had been
suffering for some time, having been
confined to the house for the last three
months.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
(Thursday) afternoon at two o'clock,
from the residence at corner Of Fifth
street and Monongalia avenue. Rev. G.
N. Tegnen of the Swedish Mission
church will oft1ciate. The interment will
be in Fairview cemetery.
Andrew Lindberg was born in Gustav
Adolph parish. Vermland. Sweden, Feb
26. 1910, and had thus attained the
age Of II years, months and II days.
He obtained the usual common school
education Of those days after which he
learned the blacksmith's trade and
worked at that as long as he remained
in Sweden. In 1868 he married Chris
tina johnson, and the following year
they emigrated to America. They To-
Gated first in Wisconsin. but in 1870 Mr.
L1ndberg took a homestead in town of
Mamre, and the following spring the
family moved there. There they made
their home until about ten years ago,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Lindberg moved to
Willmar.
Mr.. Lindberg is survived by his wife
and three children: John F. Lindberg of
Mamre. Oscar Lindberg Of this city and
Mrs. Leslie Wetherly of Minneapolis
all of whom were present at the death
bed. One daughter, Mrs. Charles Holm
gren. and one son, Albert, preceded the
father in death.
Mr.. Lindberg was one of those sunny,
genial souls who make friends Of every
one who comes in contact with them
and have no enemies. He could meet
misfortune with a smile and joke that
took away it's sting. During the hard
ships of the pioneer days and the grass
hopper affliction, when the outlook was
certainly gloomy enough to make every
body feel down hearted, the writer re-
members well how Lindberg's CHEEKY
optimism and kindly wit lightened up
any group he Joined and brought smile
to saddened faces. And he lived to see
his optimism justified. Brighter days
came. poverty fled and he, like other
pioneers who labored faithfully, was
after some years able to retire with a
competency. And when sickness came
the same cheerful nature, coupled with
firm Christian faith, enabled him to
face the end of his earthly pilgrimaet
with the same undaunted spirit and a.
unwavering faith in better life be-
yond the dark river.

Washington. July 21.-with ten
million men listed in the order OF
their liability to service, the federal
government began today its last task
of preparation for organization or a
selective draft army-the task OF de-
termining which among those chosen
shall be exempt.
The drawing to determine who first
shall be liable for service ended early
today, after it had been in progress
without interruption for more than
sixteen hours, and Wnlie the olHcldlS
in charge rested from their long vigil
others took up the tabulation of Off
cial figures for forwarding to local eX-
emption boards over the country
Most of this work, it is hoped, will be
completed before the day is over, so
that the local authorities can be given
their instructions early next week.
Within ten days the men who are
subject TO the presidents order for
mobilization of war quota of 6S7, 900
may be appearing before their boards
for examination and for decision as to

FOOD BILL TODAY
Comes to Final Vote in SeEat,
by Agreement.
Hoover Gets Ready; Food Dept
To Employ About 1900.

Washington, July 21.-By adjourn
ment tonight or possibly early tomor-
row-the senate will have passed the
food control bill, este hlishing virtually
a food dictatorship for the world.
Voting on scores of amendments
and finally on the bill itself, was to
begin not later than 2:30 this after
noon by a unanimous consent agree
ment reached last week. At $3.50 all
debate-which since Thursday has
been under a ten-minute limitation
will stop and the senate, after weeks
of discussion and quarreling will start
milling the amendments, separating
the great preponderance of chaff from
the almost neglectible portion of leg
islative grain.
The amendments are expected to
occupy most of the senatorial interest,
if not time. in the final hours of con-
sideration. They are: first, the Pom
creme amendment proposing govern
ment control of the coal industry:
second, the committee amendment for
a minimum price of $1.75 bushel on
wheat, and third, the Gore substitute
for the entire bill.
Anticipating food control, Herbert
Hoover has rented one of Washing
tons largest hotel buildings, together
with several nearby smaller struc-
lures. Expansion of the food admin
istration forces to two thousand en-

BELCIANS ELATED
They Never Saw Flags as Large
as Those in Topeka.

Reception Here.

Belgian commission was the heartiest
extended to its members in the entire
tour of the country. according to
George Mignolet. Belgian consul at
Kansas City. who met the party at
Topeka Consul Mignolet stated be-
fore leaving Friday evening that the
large number of flags and the crowds
lining the streets in the parade called
for comment from the members of
the commission all during the day.
Especially wonderful to them were
the big Belgian flags suspended over
Kansas ava1ue from Pelletier's to the
HARLAN Furniture company's store.
and from Crosby Brothers to the 9TH
er side of the street." said the con-
sui. They also were immensely
pleased with the French greeting APP
pearing on the front page of the To
peka State Journal. Not only did the
big flags cause favorable comment.
but also the large number of small
Belgian flags and American flags
carried by the school children and
appearing on the automobiles in the
parade"
One member of the party remarked
that he had never seen Belgian flags
as large as those in Topeka either at
home or abroad.

DenOunce Capture of Fleet as
Brutal Assault.
Forget U-BOat Outrages in
COndemning British Raid.

Copenhagen, July 21.-The British
seizure of German ships was de-
nounced as a BRUTAL assault on de-
fenseless merchant men and a pro-
fiigate act by DIR. Kriege, director of
the judicial department of the Ger
man foreign office, in replying to a
question in the reichstag. DR.. Kriege
added that Germany had urged Hol-
land to demand an apology for this
unheard of violation in Dutch waters
and a precise assurance that it would
not recur.
DIR. Kriege said Germany was en-
titled to and would expect immediate
restorati ton of the captured ships and
compensation for the cargoes of those
and their dependents. Holland, he
said, had already expressed regret at
the occurrence and declared it would
demand the fullest satisfaction. Hol-
land further promised that the Dutch
fleet would do it's utmost to prevent a
repetition and replying to the German
representations held it was prepared
to employ the utmost energy to obtain
satisfaction of the German demands.
The German government DIR. Kriege
said was confident Holland would act
accordingly.

ish waters and that the government
had made a vigorous protest to the
German government to prevent a re-
currence of such an act
