Captain M. w. Hingeley Gives
Appreciative Talk on Splendid
Work of Chaplain

A special military service was
held at the Christian Church
Sunday evening, Major Ezra c..
Clemens, Chaplain of the Second
Minnesota Regiment, giving the
main address.
Captain Hingeley of Company
L, gave short Introductory
talk, telling of the splendid work
done by Major Clemens during
the time spent in camp at Llano
Grande, with an interesting ac-
count of some of the special SER
vices and observations Of
Thanksgiving, Christmas and
other special days. Captain Hin
geley's talk was reassuring to
all friends interested in the NOR
al welfare of the boys of Com
pany l.. He then introduced
Major Clemens with few well
chosen words of appreciation Of
what his work meant to every
member OF the regiment.
Major Clemens talk dealt with
the moral and spiritual condi-
lions at camp, telling Of the eff
forts of the chaplains and their
assistants to give the boys clean
amusement and entertainment
and to keep them at camp rath-
er than wandering around in
search of entertainment. He al
so told graphically of the extra
things done for the boys if sick
or wounded, of extra comforts
during hospital confinement and
of advice and council which was
accorded them at all times. His
talk stirred his hearers deeply

Men Wanted For
New Training Camp
Minnesota Has Quota of 361 to
Send to Fort Riley August
27; Time Right Now

The War department has or
dered a second series Of train
ing camps for officers, which
will open August q, and last
until November 26, for which ap-
plications are now being taken,
July Is being the last day for
applications.
For these camps the govern
ment especially desires men
whose ages run from 81 to so,
and who on account of their age
and business experience will, the
government expects, develop in
to fine material for the higher
grades of officers, from captain
to lieutenant colonel, to start
with, with the possibility, as oc-
Cured in the Civil war, Of the
very highest rank for many
men later.
Whereas in most of the states
the numbers of applications for
men of this class have been
most gratifying, for some I'M
accountable reasons the applica-
tions so far received for posi-
tions in Minnesota's quota of
361 in the training camps to be
held at Fort Riley, Kansas, have
not been as numerous as they
should be.
Local applicants for a place
in this camp should apply to H.
A. Baldwin of Redwood Falls for
further information, blanks, etc.
Brig. Gen. Sage, commanding
Fort Smelling Post and Officers

Rev. Graves Here

Rev. Calvin S. Graves of Lake
field, Mimi, preached at the
morning service at the Metho-
dist Church Sunday, taking the
place of the pastor, Rev. OAR
rell, who is now in Indiana. Rev.
Graves took for his theme What
Shall | Do With Christ, using
the painting of Christ before
Pilote, as an illustrating medi-
UNI. Mr.. Graves drew analogies
between the various characters
in the picture, and the same
types in modern life, mis- COM
parsons being impressive and
well pointed. His sermon was
forceful and intellectual and
made a strong spiritual appeal
to his audience.

Chautduqua Is
Great Success
Best Season Redwood Falls Has
Had in Many Years; Re-
turns in 1918
EVERYONE PLEASED
H. w. Ward, Local Manager, and
G. w. Kinsman, Platform
Manager Do Good Work

The 1917 Chautauqua season,
possibly the best season Red
wood Falls ever had, closed last
Saturday evening. The very
great success Of this years pro-
gram is due to several things
including the splendid bureau,
and the assistance given the en-
tertainers by G.. w. Kinsman,
the platform manager, who
stayed throughout the week and
added very greatly to the occa-
sion by his pleasant and efficient
management.
Another element in the sue
cess was the splendid work done
before and during Chautauqua
week by H. w. Ward, local man
ager. This was Mr.. Wards first
experience in such work and he
showed great iniative and prog
ressiveness in his handling of
the many daily problems which
arose. There is a strong feel
ing among the citizens that Mr..
Ward especially qualified for this
work and it is hoped that his
services may be procured for
next year.
That Redwood Falls was es-
pecially well favored in the tai
ent sent here is shown by such
names as Victor Murdoch, Gov.
Buchtel, the Saddlers, and
Strickland Gillian among the
lecturers, and The Hugh Ander-
son Company, the Rounds Or
chestra, the Welch singers and
the Mason Jubilee Singers among
the musical numbers.
Sarah Mildred Wilmer was
one of the entertainers, her read
ing of War Brides and the 9TH
er numbers Of her miscellaneous
program, holding her audience
spellbound. Miss Willmar is one
of the most finished artists Red
wood Falls ever had an oppor-
tunity of hearing, and her Wis
its here are always great events.
Another entertainment which
Twas universally enjoyed was the
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-07-11

Wales Lyceum Players in the
clever little comedy s'Rejuvena-
tion."
An extra number, a talk on
the Human Side of Trench Life
by Lieutenant Lee Nichols, for
merly of the English army, was
one Of the most interesting and
entertaining features Of the en-
tire week.

Numbers Will
Decide Draft
Every Precinct Affected by Num-
Der Drawn by Committee at
National Headquarters
FOUR CLASSES EXEMPT
Redwood County Board Com
posed of Sheriff Hassenstab,
DIR. Finn and C.. E. Root

The appointments of Mime
sofa boards to pass on claims of
exemption from selective draft
have been made public by Gov.
Burnquist.
Details of a wholly new sys-
tenn Of drawing men for active
army service from among the
100000 who registered for
the selective draft have been
received from Provost Marshal
E. H. Crowder through official
sources. Registration cards rum
ming from No. l up to the high
est number in the district of
the greatest registration will be
prepared by the naval and mill
tary committee Of the house and
senate and placed in a box.
Members of the committee
will draw. Each number that
comes out will mean that in ev-
cry registration district the
men bearing that number have
been drafted and must report
for military service.
Illustration.
If, for example, the commit
tees should draw out of the box
No. 1872, every young man in
the United States whose serial
number is No. 1872 will have been
drafted. The lower number
drawn will mean a man apiece
from every registration district.
AS the numbers get higher few
er men will be produced by each
drawing as many of the districts
will not have that many men
registered.
If by this process any state
should be called on to furnish
more than its quota proportions
ate to population its numbers
can be reduced without affect
ing the draft, because a large
surplus of men will be drawn to
provide for such emergencies.
Four classes of men are named
as exempt from military service
in the draft regulations which
President Wilson has approved.
The classes are:
Men physically unfit.
Men employed in essential po-
sitions in war industries.
Those with certain religious
beliefs.
Men with wives or other rela-
tives wholly dependent on them
for support.
/ The rules provide that local
exemption boards, already named
have power to exempt the ply
sically unfit and members of GER
tain religious bodies. The ap-
pelate board in each judicial dis
trict will have power to excuse
men for occupational reasons
and will hear the pleas of those
with dependents.
Redwood County's local board
consists of DR.. I. E. Finn, Sher-
iff Frank Hassenstab and C. E.
Root of Morgan.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-07-11

It speaks well for Midland eff
ficiency and system that every
number of the weeks work was
given exactly according to sched-
ule and without any substitu-
tion-every speaker appeared
exactly according to the printed
program with the exception Of
one change made to suit local
conditions.

Of course, higher shoes-required by
higher skirts-cost more. They would cost
more without any advance in the price of
leather, because they require from IS to 2o%
more leather: Fancy colored feathers also cost
more.
People who want the higher-cut and COL
ored-leather shoes will find them here at
slightly higher, but not exorbitant, prices.
But it is not fair to compare the newer
style and the higher-cut shoe with the od-time
shoe worn so many years.
A WARMING:
When shoes go up in cost, stand
ards are apt to go down. Rising cost
Of materials means to a store one of
two thngs-either to maintain the old
selling price and cheapsn the product
or to protect the standard of quality
and increase the price.
The Berberich way is to maintain
the standard always.
BE ON YOUR GUARD against good
looking shoes that will not keep their shape or
wear we'll. Novelty leather shoes can be made
to look so attractive as to cover poor work.
manship, and thus mislead the purchaser. Poor
shoemaking is not apparent until after the
shoe is worn. The only safe thing to do is to
buy good shoes at a store that, maintains its
standard of workmanship. and standard of
quality. .-., -,
The Washington herald., 1917-03-26

Berberich's is serving the
people of Washington in a
uery real and substantial
manner; sauing then, thou
sands ofdollars on good shoes
instead of taking advantage
of an abnormal condition of
the shoe market for its own
benefit.
Berberich's is giving the
public these savings as an ex-
preston of appreciation for
an increasing patronage ex-
tending over more than fifty
years.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-26

1t is uncertain The outlook is that shoes
Will continue to cost more, even though the
war ends suddenly, unless there is radical
change in fashion and substitutes are used for
leather.
One thing IS certain: Whether they wear
long skirts or short skirts, women will never
go back to slipshod shoes. They will never for
get the lessoR that they cannot be well-dressed
unless their feet are well-shod.
All fashions of shoes are here-all grades
all leathers-and at prices least affected by the
rising costs.
Prove this to your own satisfaction any
day by personal visit to any of our stores.
- REMEMBER THIS: There is no need to
pay extortionate prices for shoes.
The big purchasing power of Berberich's E
Stores, the experience gained in over fifty e
years of buying and selling of good shoes, our =
placing of tremendous advance orders-taking %
advantage of every turn of the leather market,
going direct to the tannery months in advance g

and having this made into shoes for us, all E

that instead of taking advantage of the abnor-
NAL situation which now exists, and making
profit of several dollars per pair by selling at
present market prices, Berberich's is showing
its appreciation of an increasing patronage of
over fifty years by maintaining as long as pos
sible old prices, giving the public the difference
between present prices, necesstated by market
conditions, and prices made possible by our
foresight of buying in huge quantities months
ahead.
Take pencil and paper and figure
out the number of pairs of shoes your
family needs in a year-realize that
this saving of thousands of dollars to
Washin2tonians means a saving of
many dollars on. every pair of shoes.
