Gertrude DOolittle Allaban.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
O. H. Doolittle, formerly of Sank
Centre were deeply grieved to learn
of the death of their eldest daughter,
Mrs. Gertrude Allaban, which occur
red recently in Pasadena, California.
Sank Centre wilh remember Gertrude
as one of the prettiest, brightest and
most attractive of it's girls few short
years ago. She was greatly beloved
by young and old. BY the younger
set she was in great demand always
because of her winsome ways, cheer
full disposition and even temper; while
her quiet thoughtfulness and unfail-
ing courtesy to her elders made he1
2 universal favorite everywhere.
During a visit made to California
some years ago, Gertrude met and
eventually married Mr.. Allaban OF
Pasadena, young man of fine char
acter and sterling worth. The mar
riage was an exceedingly happy one
in every way, and in her quiet home
in Pasadena she has been greatly
loved not only by her husband, but
also by many new friends who have
come to know her and appreciate the
same gracious qualities which had
endeared her to the people of Sank
Centre in her girlhood days.
AS the years have passed they have
found her a faithful wife, careful
housekeeper, a loyal member of her
church, and interchangeable worker in
her guild, and charming friend
socially, one that has developed all the
gifts and graces of her girlhood and
that has proved herself a woman
worthy of admiration and esteem.
Some months ago Mrs. Allaban be-
gan to suffer from a physical break

Enlistments for Ser
uice Expected to Pick
Up at Close of School

With the closing of the public
school in Minnesota general in
crease in Army recruiting throughout
the state is looked for by Major John
D. ,Yost, recruiting officer for the
Minnesota District. There are humid
reds of high school boys in the state
who have only been awaiting the end
of the school term before getting in
to service. High school boys in Min
nesota have not been slow in answer
ing the call of the country, and there
is hardly school in any town in the
state which is not represented in one
or another of Uncle Sans fighting
forces.
In most instances credits have been
awarded boys who have enlisted, by
the school authorities, and many of
them have been sent to Industrial
training schools in various sections of
the country. ''The present struggle
is prominently young mans war"
said Major Yost, sand it is plainly
evident that the young men of this
state appreciate that fact to the
fullest. The recent draft registration
for young men who attained the age
of FL years, after June 5, 1917, showed
conclusively that young men have been
answering the call of the country in
arge numbers. The number of men
registered June 9Th fell about Is
per cent below the estimated
figures, showing that at least that per-
centage of the men of Fl year had en-
listed" ~
ut is generally believed that the
same figures will hold good for men
between the ages Of Is and Fl, as
they too have been focking to the
colors in ever increasing numbers.
The young man of today is afforded
wonderful opportunities in the Army.
There are no stumbling blocks in his
way and no limit to what he may at
tain. Officers now are picked from
the men in the ranks, in the fairest
and mostn impartial maner that could
be devised.x The need of men is urgent
in the Regular Army, and that is the
place for every red-blooded American
today"

BOND ISSUE MAY
BE SIX BILLION
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PRE-
PAIRING FOR FOURTH LIB
ERTY LOAN.
DRIVE EXPECTED in OCTOBER
FINANCIAL PROGRAM FOR NEXT
FOUR MONTHS is DISCLOSED
BY MCADOO.

Washington, June IL. - Secretary
McAdoo has disclosed the govern.
ment's financial program for the next
four months in preparing for the
fourth Liberty Loan, to be fioatee
probably in October. About $6,00O,.
100000 certificates of indebtedness
will be issued.
They will be offered in block Of
$3.50, 100000 each, every two weeks
beginning June 10.
Every national bank and trust
company is asked to assist the gov.
eminent by subscribing 5 per cent Of
it's gross resources monthly. The
certificates will bear Az per cent in,
terest like those preceding the thire
Liberty Loan and. will have varying
maturity periods none exceeding foul
months.
Tax Certificate Issue.
In addition an undetermined guam
tity-perhaps $2,O00,000,000 of taa
certificates will be issued during the
summer for use in paying tawxes
year from now.
The announcement of this program
indicated that the fourth Liberty
Loan will be for at least $4,000, OOO,'
900, the exact amount depending or
government expenditures in the next
few months. The treasury already
has estimated these roughly at about
$4,000, 100000 between July ] ane
next January 1.
Borrow from Banks.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past veal
amounts virtually to borrowing in adj
vance from banks on projected popu'
lar war loans or tax collections, ano
periodically refunding these shor'
term obligations in long term Liberty
Loan bonds. Depository banks
make 21a per cent net, the difference
between the Az per cent interest,"
paid by the government and the {
per cent collected for deposits.

War Department Shous
Procedure in Notifying
Relative of Casualties

Relatives of soldiers named in
casualty lists forwarded from France
ordinarily are notified Within "a
hours after receipt of the lists, ac-
cording to a statement authorized by
the War Department. A Statistical
division" with staff of officers and
corps of stenographers, gives all its
time to the maintenance of files of
soldiers names and addresses. This
division notifies relatives.
A copy of the roster of each con-
tingent sailing to join the Expedition
airy Forces is filed in card index fash
ion, each card bearing the name of
one soldier, his organization, and the
name and address of parent or other
relative or friend designated by him to
be notified in emergency. When a
casualty list is received from Gen.
Pershing each name cabled from the
American Expeditionary Force is list
ed with the emergency address on file
in the card index. AS rapidly as the
new list with emergency addresses is
built up the telegraph clerks get
duplicates. These clerks already are
supplied with relatives address, name
of sender, nature of casualty and the
date, and filling in the blank spaces
they get the kilograms off as quickly
as possible. In addition to maintain
ing the telegraph blanks for the sake
of speed the statistical division is
supplied with sets of form letters to
be filled in and mailed when further
details are available.
While relatives are generally in
receipt of information within "a hours
after the cables are received, delays
are sometimes due to clerical errors
caused by the fact that names must
past through so many hands in France
and in America, Incorrect emergency
addresses turned in by soldiers, re-
moval of families to addresses othe-.
than those listed, and the occasional
necessity to verify a name or to obtain
an address.
Aside from these four causes of
delay the only reason for the failure
of relatives to receive word at once
is military consideration. Gen. Perish
ing may at his discretion, withhold a
casualty list until he is positive it vii
have no military value to the enemy.

EXPLOSION CAUSES DEATH.

The second death in the same
community due to the use of kerosene
in starting a fire occurred Saturday at
st. Joseph, when the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Yost was burned to
death. The young girl was starting
the fire preparatory to getting dinner
and poured kerosene from gallon
can. The flames caught the oil in
the can which exploded. The girl
ran out doors and the mother and
brother tried to put out the blaze in
the water tank. Her clothing was
partly burned off and her entire body
excepting her head and feet was
burned. After the flames were ex-
tinguished, she walked into the house.
She died the following day. The
other death was that of Mrs. Peter
Bruner Of st. Cloud.

down. Bravely did she fight for her
life with both hope and courage until
the last, but in spite Of all that could
be done for her by the best physicians
she continued to fail, and on May the
18th in the presence of her sorrowing
husband, and dearly loved mother, she
slipped away into life everlasting.
1t was a great comfort to her to
have had the companionship of her
mother during those last few months,
and the wonderful courage and quiet
restraint and fortitude of Mrs. Doo-
little is worthy of more than mere
mention.
On the afternoon of May the 31st
the funeral was held at the home in
Pasadena, Rev. S. L. Mitchell, Rector
of the Church of the Holy Faith,
Inglewood, conducting the service.
The house was filled to repletion, very
many being unable to get inside.
Very wonderful were the many floral
tributes from loving friends. Flowers
of every conceivable form and design,
and which grow nowhere else as in
California, but even for that land of
flowers, were unexcelled in their
beauty and profusion. Mr.. Mitchell
spoke from the words Thanks be
unto God who giveth US the Victory
through Jesus Christ our Lord"
After Gospel of comforting words,
he opened the piano and played the
same chords which Gertrude had so
often played on that same instrument,
and together he and Mrs. Mitchell
sang the well known and beautiful
hymn "Abide With Me-
The procession then formed for
Greenwood, one of the most beautiful
cemeteries in Southern California and
there in a lovely spot amid the trees
and flowers and under the shadows of
the majestic mountains was laid away
by her Mother Church all that was
mortal of the bright young girl
whom Sank Centre had known and
loved.
1t is less than two years ago since
MT. MlCCIlell ldlu away mIo. AluCh
formerly Miss Mabel Kells of Sank
Centre, and teacher in the Sunday
School of the Good Samaritan in
which class Gertrude Doolittle was
one of her scholars. Now both teach
er and scholar rest in the land of the
Golden sunset, the one lies under the
shadows of the Santa Monica noun
tain, in Inglewood, and the, other
under the shadows Of Mount Wilson
in Pasadena not many miles apart.
The golden sun of California shines
brightly by day and the silver stars
by night shine softly over their rest
ing places, while the mountains keep
eternal vigilance, and as the wind
blows softly through the pines and
cypress trees they sing to the ear of
all Christians: "I am the Resurrection
and the Life saith the Lord, he that
beleiveth in Me though he were dead
shall he live, and he that believeth
in Me shall never die" Contributed.
