SOLDIERS ALL.

= -. u ). soldiers.
can't all go to France. We can't all wear the
khaki. The tasks that we are told to do may
seem small, but it is our duty to do them well
and uncomplainingly. In doing so we may have
lust as glorious share in winning this war as
though our accomplishments were heralded with
the blare of trumpets, the waving OF flags and
white limelight of the press dispatches.
Il may be that our duty soldiers lies in the
making of Red Cross supplies. 1t may be the
care of soldiers families. 1t may be in taking
the place of some one more fortunate who can
90 to the 'front.' 1t is national service, as well
as good common sense, to keep well so that
doctors who are caring for the practice of ply
sicians who are in the service may not be over
worked. It is national service to do volunteer
work in civil hospitals, so that nurses may be
released for the front. 1t is national service to
follow vigorously the directions of the food ad-
mnstration 1t is national service to avoid
gossip and the chickering's which, more than any,
thing else, hinder the work of those who are
doing their best to organize the country SO that
we may win the war.
Whatever the task, be it great or SMALL that
it falls to our lot to do it is duty as soldiers
to do it the best we may. A soldier who fails
to perform the smallest task assigned him is
deserter and in time of war deserter is a
traitor-Red Cross Bulletin.

wv THIN few days you and all the rest
M of the Redwood Falls citizens will be
w asked to subscribe monthly amount
for the support of the Redwood Falls Red Cross
branch. Just what each will subscribe will de-
pend upon individual incomes, individual desires
to help and individual sacrifice power, for in
many cases this monthly payment will be made
by sacrificing some personal pleasure, some pet
hobby, or something the giver has always thought
was vitality necessary to his happiness, but finds
that the war has taught him he can get along
without and still be perfectly comfortable. The
details of the soliciting plan and the plans for
monthly collections will be announced within a
short time and the Ways and Means Committee
earnestly asks your cooperation and assistance.
The money must be raised if the work is to be
effectively carried on and even the possible dis
interested will concede that the most dignifed
and permanent means of raising it is by the
method of monthly subscriptions. Even very
small amounts will be acceptable and certainly
each business firm in the city will give not less
than five dollars per month and much more
as its income will warrant. We know Redwood

An auto with driver and one passenger
ran into the crowd at the Red Cross auction
sale at the corner of Third and Front streets
last Saturday afternoon, and fortunately no
one was injured. The driver said his brakes
wouldn't hold and that he didn't see the
crowd The brakes were out of order but
the reason that the crowd was invisible is
easily explained by the fact that the back
seat was loaded down with four full quarts
of whisky and one empty, and nearly case
of beer. They were fined $3.50 EACH

WHY WE BUY BONDS.

WYE don't know why other people buy
M bonds but we have figured out several
w reasons why we personally have bought
them and why we are going to buy them again
providing we can make arrangements with our
banker for sixty day loan. First of all comes
the reason that the who are at the head
of this government-the who are special
lists and experts in the best method OF teaching
the kaiser that might is not right and that there
must be no confusing of Christ and the anti
Christ: these men have decided that supplying
money is one of the best things the common, or
binary citizens can do to hasten the time We
are straining toward. Another reason is that
we are fond of many soldier boys, individually
and collectively, and we want to be able to look
them straight in the eye when they come back
trailing the mantle of victory, with the self
consciousness that we too did best, even IL
it was small best compared to theirs Then
there is another and very selfish reason-after
we have grown too old to work, it is going to
be a great and glorious feeling to sit around and
clip the occasional coupon-and if we don't have
to use these bonds to pay the grocer, they will
be fine to pay the undertaken But why con-
tinue to explain! Just reason is enough!
Bonds will help to win the war so BUY BONDS
OR BUST!
The Redwood gazette., 1918-04-10
ONLY ONE WAY TO GET BY"

NO "immunity' bonds will be sold in this
M next Liberty bond drive. On the two
previous sales there were many who
bought bond or two to "get by" The order
has gone forth to make no such sales this time.
If man is allotted $1,000 worth of bonds, or
$4,000 worth, or any other amount, and refuses
to buy he must explain fully to the allotment
board why he does not purchase the amount as
signed to him. The government is slowly clos
ing in on the man who has shown his disoyalty
by being Stacker. The man who loves his
dollars better than he loves his country is as
much traitor as the man who loves the father
land more than he loves America. This view
of the situation is growing fast and loyal men
and women will insist that the government treat
both classes alike.-Austin Herald.

Someone who doesn't like US very well told us
emphatically the other day that we are person
of one idea. We admit twill even fight to
prove it; and that one idea is to shorten up this
war by helping in every way in power, di-
rectly and indirectly, to further the work of
those who are managing it. Just now the sub
idea, which for the next few weeks will occupy
us fully and completely, is to help those who are
working day and night to carry this bond sale
gloriously over the top If that is being fatally
and hopelessly narrow as our accuser stated
then we certainly are it.

The Twin City dailies, in telling Of the raid

was arrested a charge of anti-Americanism
last week, stated that the Subscription list Of
the paper was checked up and the subscribers
were found, without exception, to be men of
anti-American tendencies" We wish to call the
attention of friend (?) from Clements who
last week sent US copy of Paul's paper, to the
above fact. 1t should show said friend (?), if
he subscribed to Pauls paper, (and we of course
take it for granted that he wouldn't borrow one
just for the purpose of sending it to us) just
how he is classified in the eye of the state Off
cials who investigated. Also we wish to tell him
that while we appreciate his thoughtfulness in
mailing US marked copy we must state quite
emphatically that paper published by Dehnel
or any man of his calibre, can have no possible
interest for us nor contain anything which we
would care to pass on to our readers. We should
like to have said all this in personal letter to
our Clements friend (?) but since he neglected
to let US know his name when sending the paper
we are forced to thank him through the columns
of the Gazette.
