All respect and honor to the sold

some boy over there somewhere In

and bleeding and in fever heat, wish
ing for one more encouraging word,
more refreshing meals and a glass
of cold water from mothers loving
hands. Let us stand loyalty by the
Red Cross, stick to it like the mag
net to the Northpole. 1t strengthens
and encourages the boys and It gives
pleasure and satisfaction to ourselves;
it enable mothers representative,
some American Red Cross nurse, to
stand by her boys bedside and with
tender fingers and hands perform and
administer mothers wish to her boy
a comfortable bed, nOurishlng meal,
a glass of cold water and maybe to
take down the last note from heroic
soldier boy and son to a loving, tender
mother. Some young wife, some young
sweetheart may have loved him fer a
year or two but mother has loved him
every day of his life. Mother first
give to mother all respect and honor
due her. The full and true meaning
of the word Red Cross will never be
fully annalyzed or solved by us till
the boys come home and solve the
puzzle for us by relating their OWL
experiences over their lips. At the
present time, it is as essential to the
progress and victory of. our country
as the regular meal to our body. Lei

Root ClooQed Tile.

Engineer Leese CT Cottonwood came
thru Granite Falls yesterday and he
exhibited something that certainly
was a puzzle to many. He had in his
car several rolls of densely matted
roots, the roll being about six or eight
inches in diameter. At first it appear
ed to be form of peat. After some
guessing, the gentleman explained that
it was willow roots taken from tile.
A small root having entered crevice,
growth filled the tile with this mass
of fine roots. The drain had been en-
tirely stopped on farm near Willmar
and this engineer was called out to
advise the owner as to the difficulty.
About seventy-five feet of tile had
filled up in that way. The drain be-
ing near a grove it was not practical
to remove the willows and therefore
the engineer advised that new tile be
laid and the joint be cemented to-
gether to prevent the root entering it

their blowing done The people around
here are surely doing good deal for

Gave Fine Lecture.

Sergeant Larkin, one of the famous
troopers of the first Canadian contin-
gent of $4,000 men, held an interest
ed audience Friday evening at Dream
land Theatre. Vivid perturbation and
distinct description impressed the list
eners with the true Significance of the
battle across the waters. After the
address, he pleased the audience by
clever demonstrations of how an un-
armed man can ably defend himself
from his armed opponent. How to in
tercept knife blows and to wrench
away throat holds were some OF the
best features of the entertainment.
He earnestly urged the folks to send
letters and more letters to cheer and
encourage their sons ready to leap
over the parapet. ~

War Finance Corporation Aids Farm

In compliance with telegraphed in
structions from Secretary McAdoo,
the War Finance Corporation has
wired Federal reserve banks at Dal
las, Kansas City, and Minneapolis to
notify banks and trust companies in
their respective districts, nonmembers
as we'll as members of the Federal Re-
serve System, of the willingness of the
corporation to make advances to those
financial institutions which had made
loans to farmers and cattlemen.
Droughts in these districts are Great
ing a serious condition for the farm
ers and this action is taken to relieve
the situation.
Secretary McAdoo stated that no in
dustry was more vital to the war than
raising wheat, corn, live stock, and
other food products, and that the
banks should make loans on the notes
of farmers, since they are engaged in
an industry not only necessary and
contributory to the winning of the war
but vital to it.

Did Not Borrow to Buy Bonds.

The Federal Reserve Bulletin says
that one of the most encouraging and
gratifying features of the Third Lib
erty Loan is that apparently there has
been little use of bank accommoda-
tions for the purchase of the bonds
1t estimates that probably more than
80 per cent of the bonds are already
fully paid for.
The financial statement of the va
rious Federal reserve banks indicate,
according to the Bulletin, that not
much borrowing from the banks was
done by the subscribers to the third
loan. They either paid cash or bought
on the installment plan.
This eases a great deal the burden
of the banks, upon whose shoulders
rests the financing of the business and
industry of the country.

The Norell Bros. driving their Over

other party speeding at fast clip
around the curve and on the left
side of the road. In order to avoid
collision the Norell Bros. turned
their car off the road and crashed
into telephone pole on the side of
the road. The force of the blow bent
the pole at an angle of about 30 de-
grees from the ground. Fortunately
no one was injured but the occupants
of the damaged car were slightly
shaken up. The front axle was sever
ed, one lamp completely demolished
one fender badly bent and a front
wheel torn off. The car is now at the
Osmundson Garage undergoing re-
pairs.
