Watch Cholera
Is Warning Given
DIR. Golden Reports Finding of Chol-
era in Two Herds of Hogs; Farm
ers Must Be Careful

DR.. j. w. Golden, veterinarian of
Redwood Falls, has found two cases
of hog cholera in the vicinity of Red
wood Falls and would warn all farm
ers to be careful, to watch their herds
with care and to vaccinate wherever
there is the least danger, or where
there is cholera nearby.
Ninety per cent of the deaths among
hogs is due to cholera according to
statistics gathered by experts, and
the present food situation is such
that there must be no shortage of
pork if possible to prevent it. DIR.
Golden is emphatic in his statement
that the only way to beat cholera at
its game is to prevent the disease
it is practically impossible to cure it
when once started and very difficult
to check it's spread unless farmers
work in cooperation with each other
and with the authorities. Every pub
lie spirited hog raiser will report the
first sign which he thinks may indi-
cate cholera, every wise farmer will
take every possible means of pre-
venting it's spread to his own herd or
to his neighbors, and will be espec-
tally careful when buying hogs from
outside droves.
Sunday DR.. Golden was called to
the Alb. Walters farm where he found
cholera and vaccinated several hogs.
Tuesday he went to the Geo. Schot-
tenbauer farm for the same purpose.
There are also several cases in Rem
vile County according to reports.

Two Boys Enlist

Joe Morley and Alfred Poulsen, sons
of prominent Redwood County farm
ers. left last week to do their bit for
Uncle Sam, the first going to the ma
rine camp at Paris Island, N. Car,
and the latter to Camp Winfield Scott
in California as a member of the
coast artillery. They left Friday night.
The two young men have been firm
friends all through their school and
home lives and went to Minneapolis
expecting to join the same organiza-
ton and continue this close compan-
ionship, but the fortunes of war over
which they had no control sent one
to the extreme western coast and one
to the extreme eastern coast. A BROTH
er of Mr.. Poulsen has been member
Of Camp Lewis, Washington, for the
past several months, and his father
plans to visit him there at Christmas.

Help In Big Drive
Join Red Cross Now
Workers Will Be Out Wednesday for
Biggest Membership Campaign;
Help It Along
BE A VOLUNTEER
Solicitors Wal Call on You; Booths
at Two Redwood Falls Stores;
All Together Now

Beginning with Wednesday morn
ing the big Red Gross membership
drive will be carried on in real earn
est in Redwood Falls and vicinity un-
der the direction of John Mclean who
was given the section of the county
including Redwood Falls township,
Homer, and parts of Paxton and New
Avon. Mr.. Mclean is being assisted
in the work Of organization by Mayor
Brand, and very materially in the
actual work of solicitation and educa-
ton by Father j.. ]. Tomek.
A large part of the work of secur-
ing new members and getting the
present members to renew their MEM
berships will be done through house
to house canvas by prominent women
selected by Mr.. Mclean. These wom-
en- are, Mrs. Brand, Mrs. Dolliff, Mrs.
Aune, Mrs. G. r. Pease, Mrs. w. M.
Smith, Mrs. Smithers, Mrs. McRae,
Mrs. Wetmore, Mrs. Goudy and Mrs.
McPhee. So when these women call
at your house extend to them the
right hand of helpful ood-fellowship
and be sure the hand contains
dollar.
For those who wish to volunteer
their membership land this should in
clude practically every person in the
business section or every person who
comes to Redwood Falls to shop)
there will be membership booths at
the Aune and Thune store and at the
Hitchcock Drug Store. Don't wait
to be coaxed-jus walk right up
put down your dollar and get your
Red Cross service flag to put in your
window Christmas night. Make it a
Red Cross Christmasvand you can't
do that unless you have service flag
with the big red cross and. the small
er cross for each member of your
family who has joined. If you don't
happen to have the small crosses
just make them yourself-a piece Of
red paper Of any kind Gust so it is
brightly is sufficient, and the proper
cross is simply made of five perfect
squares put into position, so that the
work of making these is very slight.
Just word to those who have al
ready taken a membership! Those
who joined the order at the time Of
the big drive last June are to be
asked to waive the remainder Of this
Years membership and to take q new
membership beginning with January
IL, 1918, and ending January /, 1919.
This means sacrifice on the old
membership fee of about 33 cents
| per membership, a very insignificant
sum, and certainly all interested
enough to join last June are inter-
ested enough by this time to renew
their memberships.

Story Of Andrew

Andrew Stauber, for some time a
resident of Redwood County, found
himself in a very peculiar position
when he came to- Redwood Falls last
week prepared to go Immediately to
Fort Dodge to begin his training in
the army Of Uncle Sam. Andrew is
not q native American having been
born in Austria and right there is
where the difficulty came in. The
morning Mr.. Stauber expected to
leave for Camp Dodge, Sheriff Has
senstab of the local board received
orders from Provost Marshal Crow
der, that because the United States
had declared that condition of war
exists between this country and Aus
tria, auntil furthep notice entrain-
ments for camps or stations Of Sc
lected men found to be Austrian sub
iects or declarants will be suspended
and that meant that Andrew Stauber,
loyal American at heart and know
ing no other country except this,
could not join the army and fight for
that government for which he is per-
fectly ready, if need be, to lay down
his life.
Andrew Stauber was born in Aus
tria October IL, 1895, and came to
America with his parents at the age
of eight years. The father neglected
taking out citizenship papers and
Andrew took out his first papers
since the registration last June, but
Of course these do not make an Amer
lean citizen of him. So now he finds
himself with hands tied and an Gag
