to help formulate plans for raising
Stearns county's quota. The denomi-
nations of the bonds are $50, $100
$500 and $1,000.
The slogan for this bond issue is
that "those who do not go across must
come across" The prompt over-suh-
scription of this bond issue will be an
effective answer to the world at large
that the people of the United States
are back of the Federal government
in their war operations.
Hon. William E. Lee of Long Pral-
RE has been named as chairman of the
Todd county committee. Todd coun-
tvs apportionment has been placed at
$225,000. Mr.. Lee has sent out a
strong letter in which he states he has
been drafted for this work and urgent
ly asks the citizens and press of this
section to cooperate with him in
making this movement a success.
Will Wilke, Grey Eagles live
wire banker, has been placed at the
head of the work in the Sixth dis
trict.
The second bond issue is being
much more cordially received by the
citizens of Sank Centre than was the
previous one. No doubt the slight in
crease in the interest rate has had
something to do with the sentiment
but the people as whole are realiz-
ing more and more each day the
necessity of getting behind the gov
eminent in every possible manner in
carrying on the humanity war.
If you are interested in making
things safer and more comfortable
for our boys at the front you will
subscribe for these bonds until it
hurts.
Any of the local banks will be glad
to give you all of the information
possible. relatives to the bond issue.

Vincent J. Ehr, Oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. George c. Ehr, residing
near Sank Centre, died Sunday night
at II o'clock of brain fever, resulting
from injuries received the week be-
fore. He was 16 years of age, his
birth date being Sept. IL. The fun
eral services were held from st. Paul's
German Catholic church on Wednes-
DAY morning at nine o'clock, the Rev.
FIR. Artz, chanting requiem high mass.
The pail bearers were all school mates
of the young man and were also
members of his communion class.
They were Anthony Schoenhoff, AL
phonse Vogel, Edward Stadtherr,
Claude Aigner, Alphonse Nathe and
Albert Cordell. Interment was made
at the German Catholic cemetery.
Those from out of town who at
tended the funeral were Mvs. Henry

The church was filled with the sor-
rowing friends of the boy anu Of the
family.
While tramplil.g silage into the silo
about dusk on Wednesday evening,
Vincent stumbled over a pitchfork
which his younger brother had left
lying in tn silo and fell. The tines
entered his head IN two places. one
into his left cheek and The other just
above the left eye ball. A physician
was called Immediately, but every
encouragement was given and as the
lad cid not suffer much the injury
was thought to be very slight. Even
the eye was unhurt, save for little
soreness. During the night, however,
he complained little and also on
Thursday, but it was not until
Thursday night that blood poisoning
was suspicioned. About 10 o'clock Fri
day morning, the poison reached his
brain and he lost consciousness
which he did not regain from that
time until he passed into the keeping
of his Maker at IL o'clock Sunday
night. During this time he was de-
ferrous.
The young man was at the age
when he had begun to endear himself
to the hearts of his family in a hum
dred thoughtful ways that younger
members cannot. He was a great COM
fort and help to both his father and
mother and his death, to them, is the
saddest, most irreparable blow in
their lives. x
