Shortage of Clerical Help Makes This
Plan Necessary. e

On account of shortage of clerical
help and the large volume of addi
tional work which the banks are cal
led upon to do in connection with the
collection of subscriptions for Liberty
bonds, War Savings and Thrift
stamps, and pledges for the support
of the different war relief activities,
it has become almost impossible to
get out the daily mail in time for
trains, keep up the general bank work
and continue to keep open until four
o'clock
At the request of the federal fuel
administration, business houses gen
orally will shorten their business
hours during the winter months and
the banks wish to co o-operate with
this request and occupy their offices
as little as possible after the supper
hour.
After careful consideration, the
banks of Mankato have decided that
it will materially help in all of these
matters by closing at three o'clock
instead of four o'clock as heretofore,
wish to ask their customers and the
general public to adapt themselves to
these hours.
The banks will be open on Satur-
Gays until three O'Clock the same as
on other days.

They Will Be Used to Make Gas
Masks For Boys "Over There"

The United States food administra-
tion for the benefit of the Red Cross
is reaching out to the lumber camps
OF Minnesota for prune stones to be
used in making carbon for the gas
masks Of the American boys in
France.
Lumber jacks are great consumers
of prunes. There is tradition about
Paul Bunyan, the hero of the Blue OK
and the logging regions of America
to the effect that his logging crew
was so large that he had to hire
three men, with wheel borrows work
ing continuously, 20 haul the prune
stones away from the kitchen. This,
of course is pleasant. fiction, but it
indicates that prunes are one of the
staple articles of diet in lumber
camps so that the food administration
is appealing to the lumber camps to
save their prune stones is very sure
to bring forth large supply.
The lumber camps of Minnesota
have CO. operated generously in the
food conservation work, cutting down
all highly sweetened foods, diminish
ing the number of kinds of pie served
and in other ways. 1t is believed the
boys will enter heartily into the
scheme to save prune stones in or

COWS ARE GIVEN FOR
RED CROSS HOSPITAL
People Of Guernsey Isle Will
Lend Their Aid to Splendid
Movement

Guernsey Isle, the home of the
pure bred Guernsey cattle so popu-
lar in this country, will give cows
for an American Red Cross hospital.
according to an article recently pub
lished in The Guernsey Breeders
Journal.
| At meeting of Guernsey breeders
on the island on August 20 after
sixty minutes of patriotic speeches
by leading islanders and thirty -one
breeders assembled in the Castle
church school room the following
resolution was passed.
'That this meeting of cattle breed
ers as an act of gratitude to the
American nation for their help in
our time of need, pledges itself to
help stock tie proposed American
Red Cross hospital farm with Guern
Isey cows" S
The hospital to be thus endowed is
an American Red Cross hospital at
Saribufy Park, near Southampton,
Eng, containing 5000 beds and the
building surrounded with about three
hundred acres of land, which can be
used as farm to supply dairy and
other needs.
w. H. Foote, one of the principal
speakers at the meeting, stated
among other facts, that all the in
flanders knew what America had
done in saving the military situation
for .ngland and the allies. Every
thing that had been done would have
counted as nothing had Germany
won the final victory, which it might
have done had it not been for Amer
lea. In addition to being a powerful al
ly American was the best customer of
the island, as previous to the advent
of the American buyer the market
for Guernseys had been limited
one. But America had come, in, pur-
chased by-products and helped the
farmers. Helping the allies in the
war brought the inevitable result of
sick and wounded. So hospital was
to be built and here was Guernsey's
opportunity to provide a thanks
giving" in most acceptable and
TANGIBLE form.
William Mauger, another promi-
nent speaker, also spoke in terms of
praise for America, and hoped that

was Charles Kits who stated that he
was sure but small percentage of
the community realized how peril
ously near defeat they were when
the Americans came in Had the
Germans known things as they were
at Cambria they might have risked
yet more to break through, and had
this occurred it would have been "all
up" including the Island and the
cattle. But the Americans had
pushed On, and now everyone was
assured of ultimate victory. The peo-
pie at the meeting were enthusias-
tic over the work of the Americans,
and unanimous, in their desire to
give them any aid possible.

DRIVER OFAUTO
NEAR TO DEATH
J. c. NARROW Had Narrow l!!l Es-
cape From Going Over Bank
Last Night

Rolling off an eight foot embank-
ment in his Ford car at culvert on
the state road near Mapleton last
evening, J. C. NARROW of this city
narrowly escaped death or serious in
jury, Had it not been for the fact
that Mr.. NARROW was driving at
slow rate of speed when the accident
occurred the outcome would probably
have been much more serious. AS it
was Mr.. NARROW sustained several
severe bruises and a cut on the FORE
head and his car was badly wrecked,
the top being broken and other parts
bent and jammed.
From the account of the matter CIV
en- by Mr. NARROW, it appears that he
was driving on the, state highway
when he met John Liefermann, far
mer living near Mapleton, just at the
culvert where a bank drops off for
fully eight feet. Because the lights
of Mr.. Liefermann's machine were so
bright Mr. NARROW slowed down to
very low rate of speed as he neared
the culvert.
Car Dropped Off Edge.
Weeds and grass completely OBJ
scured the bank and the car had drop
ped off the edge before Mr.. NARROW
was aware of the danger. Had the
car been going at a high rate of
speed it would no doubt have rolled
over several times and the injuries to
the driver have been far more prob
able to be serious. Mr.. Liefermann
stopped and picked Mr.. NARROW up,
taking him to the home of James Will
a short distance away. Mr.. Will later
brought him to Mankato.
This morning Mr.. NARROW stated
that he considered it extremely for
tunate that he had escaped so easily.
He said that he thought ratings
should be constructed along state
where dangerous traps of
this kind are to be found Had sew
eral men been in the car at the time
of the smashup it is probable that
several would have sustained serious
if not permanent injuries. There are
numerous other places along this
highway where embankments of this
kind are to be found.

now he is the owner of 1850 acres
of improved farm lands in Selma
