Wednesday, Day for Big
Liberty Loan Bond Drive

All bond purchasers are mott
fed to call at the bank through
which their bonds were pur-
chased and make the first pay
ment of go Of the amount on or
before Friday, October 26. Fail
ure to do this will seriously
handicap the effectiveness of the
bond subscription. This must
be attended to without fail.
j. P. Cooper, Chairman of the
city committee for Redwood
Falls also reports good prog
ress and is much encouraged con-
cerning the city sale Of bonds.
Eight committees were appoint
ed at a meeting Monday night
and the city will be canvassed
by districts during the rest of
the week.
Up to Tuesday noon the sale
of bonds reported by Mr.. Coop
er was as follows: One $4,000;
one $4,000; one $2,50O; seven
$1,000; one $7O0; three 5000; !;
twelve $500; seven $500; two
$500; twelve 5000; sixty $10O /;
sixty $50; a total Of $41, 300.
While these figures are encour-
aging they show that there is
q long way to 60 before the
100000 mark is reached and
the city has proven herself.
A letter from 7. Tibbetts Of
Excelsior to his banker here
Tuesday morning authorized the
banker to send me a 81, 900
bond and charge it to my ac-
count. I think Uncle Sam needs
the money" "
So far as has been learned,
Miss Bernice Francois is the
Redwood Falls woman who has
purchased the largest bond, she
having purchased q 1000 bond
while here last week.

Charge Of Murder in First
Degree; Pleads Not Guilty
TRIAL THIS TERM
Grand Jury Still at Work; Ditch
Case Now on Trial; Calendar
May be Short

The October term Of court
opened here Monday morning
with Judge /. M. Olsen Of the
ninth judicial district on the

taken care Of in a very short
time and so far there are but
two cases on the criminal.

Falls, June "a, 1917. Mr.. Rosen-
dahl pleaded Not Guilty before

bring this case to trial the last
of this week or the first Of next
week. The only other case on
the criminal calendar is the case
of M. E. Garvey, indicted for
perjury. The Grand Jury is
still at work, however, and 9th

Redwood Defeats
Window Saturday
Score 10; Game Clean And
Hard Fought; All Good
Sports

Local Team Playing Splendid
Season; Window Much
Pleased at Treatment

The Window team, which be-
fore the game Of last Saturday
was sure of a 40-O victory to
their credit, went home with a
Ia to 0 game in favor of Red
wood Falls. The game was clean
and hard fought throughout.
First Half.
Redwood received at the. east
goal with a strong wind against
them. Both teams kept pretty
close to straight football in the
first half. Redwood soon dis
covered that WINDOWS vulner-
able point was her line, so Yack-
el and Warner were called upon
for a lot of line plunges. Hillig
received a leg bruise during the
first quarter and was unable to
make any gains on his signal.
After zig tagging from one end
Of the field to the other the half
ended with two touchdowns for
Redwood. Yackel made a diff
cult goal kick against the wind
at the west goal. The kick at
the east goal sailed over nicely.
When the whistle blew Window
had the ball within Redwood S
six yard line, and was walking
down for what might have been
a counter. This, and one other
time in the third quarter, were
the only times Window got with
in speaking distance of the goal.
Second Half.
In the second half Common sub
stituted for Stewart at right
tackle and Stewart relieved Hill
lig at right half. Stewards lack
Of experience was a slight handi-
cap although for a new man he
showed up well. A little work
in the backfeld will give him
the confidence he needs as well
as football knowledge.
Window came back this half
with a rush of open work. Sew
eral of her passes worked to per-
fection.- She worked her way
to Redwood's 3-yard line but
lost on downs. Redwood punted

wounded. We are able to get
into the front line trenches with
little danger as ours is not one
of the most active portions of
the line.
We all envy section 60 which
left Sandricourt just a few days
ahead of us as they went imme-
diately to one Of the most ac-
tive sectors of the French front
and are therefore seeing much
hard service.

cross for bravery under fire.
Our front has been showing
signs of activity the past few
days and some of the boys re
port being under shell fire on
portions of the exposed road.
All the towns near the front
have. been occupied by the Ger
mans and have been partially or
wholly destroyed. The trenches

disappointment at not being as

portions, so far it has been edu-
cative and worth while, and ]

us and of course everything was

me in regard to our status in
the ambulance service, and much
more what | intend doing.

over by the u. S. Government,
and as best he could the sever
al other branches now open to
us. Many of us hoped that there
would be established here, an
officers training camp like those
in the States, but our hopes were
shattered. Some anticipate go
ing into the aviation service but
that does not appeal to me. Some
are going to enlist in other SER
vice, and a few will return home.
To return home appears to me
to be foolish for it would only
Sbe to enlist in some form of SER
vice again and in that way much
valuable time would be lost
Moreover the opportunities of
enlisting there are no better
than on this side. Nor would
it increase my opportunities Of
promotion.

ENLISTS FOR The WAR

Ex-Mayor Arthur Mulberger, at
present assistant United States district
attorney for the western district of
Wisconsin has enlisted in the local
company now forming in Watertown
He passed the physical examination

which will consist of local men.
A recruiting officer and examining
physician will be stationed here
permanently so that anyone wishing
to join should notify DR.. A. F. Solli-
