KILLED IN
BINDER ACCIDENT
JOHN, SCHIMANSKI MEETS
DEATH IN FIELD ALONE
Is LATE FRIDAY.
CAUGHT UNDER CORN MACHINE
BODY TAKEN TO OLD HOME AT
OWATONNA, MIMI, FOR
INTERMENT.

= John, Schimanski, farmer living on
the Botz farm in the Mccormick Lake
territory east of Sank Centre, met
with frightful death late Friday at
ternoon while cutting corn in a field
near the house.
Just what caused the accident will
probably never be definitely known.
The little 9-year-old daughter of the
deceased was taking him drink of
water when she discovered that the
team of three horses hitched to the
corn binder were badly excited. Hast
ening to the place she found her father
caught under the binder. She insists
that he told he to hurry to the home
of H. /. Patrie, about 40 rods distant,
for help. At this time Mr.. Patrie was
blowing in field quite close by, but
the little girl ran to his house. Be-
fore she came back he discovered
there was something wrong and hur-
ried over to see if he could be of as
sistance to his neighbor. On reaching
the spot he found Mr.. Schimanski
pinned under the machine, and dead.
1t was at first thought that the
horses had ran away and that the
victim had been dragged for some dis
lance. There was no evidence that he
had been dragged at all. Something
evidently became wrong with the
working of. the binder. The end tof
the sickle fastened to the pinion had
been removed and the pinion pin put
back in place.
The two horses hitched to the
tongue had broken the double tree and
this allowed the prongs of the harvest
er to catch Mr.. Schimanski at his
breast, although the greater part OF
his body was to the rear of the ma
chine. His body bore several severe
bruises and there was hole in the
TOP, of his head.
Mr.. Schimanski moved to this Sec
ton. from Steele county about six
years ago. He was about SO years Of
age, and was hard working and in
dastrious farmer Prior to two years
ago he lived on alarm west of Sank
Centre. The family consisted of the
deceased, the little daughter, and a
sister, Miss Julia, who kept house for
her brother, his wife having died be-
fore he moved to this part of the
state.
s The body was taken to the old home
at Owatonna on the early Sunday
morning Great Northern train, and
burial took place there Monday or
Tuesday.
During his residence in this vicinity
the deceased had made many friends
who extend sincere sympathy to the
daughter and sister in their bereave-
nlent.

Eight Minnesota Boys
Injured in Collision
Near Springfield, Mo.

g A head on collision between troop
train and a freight on the st. Louis and
San Francisco road near Springfield,
Mo-, Tuesday resulted in the death Oh
rs soldiers and the injury of 60 others.
One of the coaches contained men
from Minnesota. The Herald UNDER,
stands that the boys were being trans
ferred from Camp Dodge to Camp
Pike. Late Geographic reports indl-
cate that eight of the Minnesota boys
were more or less injured.
Walter Wampack of Melrose and
Charles L. Woodman of Grey Eagle
are on this list.
Young Wampack was the last OF
four brothers to go into the service.
And was % years old. He was sent
to Camp Dodge in July. He is the
son of George Wampack employed in
the J. Borgerding & Co. lumber yard
at Melrose.
& Confusion of orders and the failure
of freight train to receive necessary
sorders, it was said at the general Of
fees Of the railroad company We'd

Child Specialist ,DiH
Adpise lDith Sank Cen
tire Parents, Sept. %

The Woman's Council of National
Defense in cooperation with the new
" created child conservation division
of the State Board of Health have
made arrangements whereby a child's
health conference will be held in this
city Saturday, Sept. % at the Junior
high school building from $50 to IL
and from 1870 to $50 p. m.
DIR. E. j. Huenenkins of ST. Paul,
baby specialist and state medical di-
rector of child welfare, will conduct
the conference. Miss Bunk, state
Supervising nurse will be in attendance
She will b eassisted by Mrs. A. F.
Moynihan and Mrs. d. B. Caughren,
graduate nurses. This conference will
be for children up to 5 years of age.
The object is to reveal any need of
medical care and to supply informa-
ton to mothers on the proper care and
feeding Of young children. This is a
wonderful privilege for mothers and
parents are urgently requested to take
advantage Of the opportunity. This
is one IF the many steps which the
government is taking in the nation
wide effort to save 100000 babies
this year.
The health of the child means the
health Of the nation. At present it is
more dangerous to be baby under
one year old than soldier in the
trenches.
Advice, consultation and exannina-
ton will al be given free. Children
will be thoroughly examined and
advice given in regard to feed, cloth
in gand general care. Free literature
on the care Of the child will be dis
tributed.

desperately needed by yhe destitute
over there. Shoes of every size are
especially asked for; every kind of
garments for all ages. The clothing
need not be in perfect repair, but it
should be serviceable. In this con-
nection do not contribute fancy or
light weight clothing as it will take
room in shipment and is not what is
needed or desired. A hundred thous-
and destitute women in this stricken
country are eager to earn small
wage by repairing gift clothing.
No other country in the world has
made as heavy a war sacrifice as
Belgium, yet her people are wonder
fully courageous. Prosperous America
should respond to this appeal for
clothing generously. The Herald be-
lieves they will.
This clothing must be donated and
turned in the coming week. Articles
can be left at the Commercial Club
rporas any time the week of Sept g.
%. Prompt shipment will be made
by the Sank Centre branch of the Am
erican Red Cross.

Holstein Bull Bred in
the Purple Owned by,.
Well KnoDn Local Man

Evidently Stearns county has dairy
cattle of as good breeding and quality
as can be found anywhere in the
state. We note with great interest
that the bull that was awarded the
sweepstake prize at the county fair
this year~is a full brother to the one
that won the grand championship at
the state fair. The enthusiastic own
er of our local bull is Henry Borg
mann, Sank Centre. The bull is King
Ollie Homestead, 201617, senior
yearling. His prize winning brother,
at the state fair, is Sir Pontias Ollie, a
senior two year old, owned by. J. d.
Bacon. The dam of these animals is
K. P. Snowflake, beautiful daughter
of the great King of the Pontiac.
Their sire is the renowned Piebe
Laura Ollie Homestead King, who
also won high honors at the state
fair. He took first in the class "Get
of BULL" which indicates very high
merit.
The local Holstein breeders have
sonic exceptionally good breeding in
their locality, and judging by the in
terest and enthusiasm which was in
evidence at our county fair this year,
the Stearns County Hostein Breeders
Association viii rank as one of the
foremost groups Of dairy cattle
breeders in the state.

CITIZENS REGISTER
NATIONS ESTIMATED MANPOW-
Err QUOTA OF 100000 HAS
BEEN EXCEEDED.
CHANGE In MENTAL ATTITUDE
MEN INDIFFERENT YEAR ACC
NOW ANXIOUS TO SERVE
THE COLORS.

The estimated registration of 49,
100000 men between the ages of Is
and 81 and 80 and 46 on Thursday of
last week, has been exceeded according
TO latest reports on partial returns
compiled.
Minnesota has about come up to the
estimate. In the Western Stearns
county registration district it was esti-
mated that 1900 would register. Prac-
,tically complete returns this Thursday
morning place the number at 2,015.
In some cases fathers and sons
marched down to the registration
places and signed up for the call for
manpower of their country when their
services are needed. And as far as
the Herald has been able to ascertain
there were no slackers in this terri1
tory or attempt to evade the registra-
ton.
The spirit with which the men reg
istered last week was vastly different
from the spirit shown in June 1917.
The American manhood as a unit now
fully realize that we are at war, and
as the brutalities of the Hun have
been brought home to them with re-
curing frequency millions who were
Indifferent year ago are now anxious
to get into the game to bring complete
and absolute victory as quickly as
possible.
The Sank Centre band furnished in
spring music and the public school
children sang patriotic songs outdoors
shortly after noon on registration day,
while the emblem of Liberty, Old
Glory, could be seen flying in every di-
rection.

Ferty-nine were in the first ward and
$50 in the second. There were about

ny at any rate

LIBERTY LOAN DAY
ALL LOYAL. AMERICANS WILL

MAKE RECORD FOR COUNTY
MANAGERS EXPECT TO PUT OLD
STEARNS OVER THE TOP IN
: TEN HOURS. y

On Saturday, September 18th, the
great drive for the Fourth Liberty
Loan will start. In most sections of
the country the campaign will extend
to October 10Th, but the Ninth or Min
neapolis District plans to complete the
drive by Thursday, October. 3rd.
SbearnS county plans to beat this five
days by completing the drive on the
18th. Think what it means to us to
herald the word across the land that
loyal Stearns has pledged it's quota
in ten hours.
The District Chairman, A. R. Rog-
lefs, of Minneapolis, has asked it of
us. County Chairman Ladner says it
can be done. District Chairman
Sherman Strong says it can be done.
Lets do it. All it requires is for each
one of us to "do our bit" Saturday.
Solicitors will not be sent out as in
other drives. 1t takes too long. In
place of this every bond purchaser is
asked to go to the place selected in
his community, find out what his
allotment is and subscribe for the
amount right there. This is asking
very little when we think of the thous-
ands and thousands of boys who are
giving their lives for us "Over There"
Notices will be mailed next week to
bond purchasers but notices are
sometimes missent. The fact that
your notice fails to reach you does not
free you of your obligation to buy
bonds.
Not less than 80 per cent of the
total population of the country is ex-
pected to become holders of the
Fourth Liberty Loan. The payments
as before Eeibased on easy terms 10
per cent at the time of purchase, 20
per cent ON November 81; 20 per cent
on December 10Th; 20 per cent on JAM
10th; 80 per cent on january 80. Pay
ment in full will be permitted either
with the application or October 10th.
& The amount of Stearns'. county's
allotment of the Fourth Liberty Loan
issconsiderably larger than that of the
Third Loan. The portion assigned to
this community should be easily rails
ed for as whole our crops have
been bountiful and prices uniformly
high. This tends to prosperity for us
all.
A critical time in the progress of
the war is here. A quick and generous
response to this call for bonds will add
new courage to our fighters, strength
en- the morale of ourselves and our al
lies and add to the confusion and dis
enlargement Of our enemies. Stearns
county expects every man, woman and
child to do their duty. ~ u
