SOLDIERS ALERT
City Eugiaeersdeo V. Perry Held up at
 Rifles Point
Will Hereafter Carry a Permit From the
 Mayor

City Engineer George W. Perry knows how il feels to look into the bayonettc capped muzzle of an army rife with uniformed soldier behind 1t and be told to halt. He had the ex- pefience Thursday afternoon while looking over some land not far from the railroad bridge.
 Mir Perry had been engaged 10 make survey for sewer from the Day Kimball hospital to the QuiDebaug river and Thursday afternoon he started out with blue print plans in hand to mske superficial inspection. He wss on the south side Of the river bank and several hundred feet from the railroad bridge when he was ap pro. ched by s soldier and told to get out and keep going.
 Mir Perry started back up hill but had not gone far before a soldier appeared from behind wall with rife ievelled al him ordered him 10 halt. Several more soldiers came run ming up out of breath and Mir. Perry was surrounded on sll sides. They wanted 10 know what he was doing and demanded to zee his plans. After some talk during which Mir. Perry showed lhe men some letters and ex plained who he was they appeared satisfied and allowed him to go.
 Before he left Mr. Perry told the men that he was all over the city in his line Of work and wanted to know what protection he could get from another similar experience. He was told to get permit from the mayor and this he will do.
 While perhaps the experience was not exactly pleasant one for Put. nam's city engineer il demonstrates that the soldiers are on the alert.

You May Be
the Next Victim

The Red Cross Christmas seals
have been placed on sale, and those
in charge of them will try to sell at
least double the amount that has been
sold in years past, because there is
need for far greater fund to fight
tuberculosis and other diseases than
ever before. The war is response.
for this situation, for it has brought
the millions Of men together under
conditions that make the spread OF
the dread white plague and other di-
seases most rapid.
Too, examinations of Minnesota
men for service with our fighting
forces during the past year have
shown thousands of Minnesota men
were afflicted with tuberculosis who
didn't even suspect they were.
Think, then, of the danger con
fronting the healthy men Of Minne/
sofa whom we have sent into serVI
in our armies and navy. An ideaAA
the way this dread disease spreads \
in an army may be gained from the
statement that there have been one
hundred and fifty thousand French
soldiers invalided from the trenches
with it. In addition, the disease has
spread frightfully among the non
combatant French people.
No individual can be sure of escap-
ing this foe of humanity-it visits
the rich as well as the poor. You
may be the next unfortunate mortal
this gaunt and stalking enemy will
lay hands on.
The money received from the sale
of these Christmas seals is spent in
Waging the fight to prevent the spread
of tuberculosis and in curing c2s-r
caught in the earlier stages, W1f1eI.
proper treatment and care viii cure
it effectively. Half of the proceeds
from the sales of seals in Redwood
will be used right here in Redwood
in fighting it, and helping to cure
cases that are found. ~
Our constant foe at all times, tlAe
berculosls is a greater enemy in war
times, and We must fight it doubly
hard. 1t was big fight and mighty
problem before the war, but it will
be greater fight and more gigan-
tic problem during and after the war
We don't want to be hampered In
our reconstruction by the inroads of
| it. so the only course to pursue is to
prevent it from getting too firm a
grip on us during the war period.
The seals cost one cent each, SO
there is hardly an individual who
can't help at least little, and every
seal bought is bullet in the war to
be fought against this death dealing

LOSES LEFT ARM IN
CORN SHREDDED

Friday afternoon, while engaged in
feeding corn shredder at the Hen
~ Peterson farm west of Franklin,
Arnold Lund was unfortunate enough
to have his left arm caught between
the rollers of the machine and badly
crushed. The safety catch had beer
broken and because Of this the acct
dent was much more serious than
would have been otherwise AS it
was, before the engine could be
stopped, the member was mangled.
The rollers were then pried apaf q
and the unfortunate man release
Henry Peterson and Norman Johhy
son at once took Mr.. Lund to Frank
lin where medical attention was Civ,
en- him, and later he in company with
DR., Cole journeyed to Redwood Falls
and at the hospital, at that place, the
arm was amputated at a point about
four inches below the elbow.
The patient returned home Tuesday
and is now reported to be doing as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances. Morton Enterprise.
