Some Yarn!

Chas. F. Gales Of the Palace Dry
Goods Company gave the Gazette
some interesting figures on the yarn
sold by his firm since the activities
of the Red Cross in knitting were
started. From the store $4,000 have
already been sold while The other
member Of the firm, George Country
man, recently made a short trip on
the road and sold an additional $1O,-
900. Much of the quantity sold from
the store has been shipped out of
town, firms at Anoka, Mankato, Ro-
chester, Slayton, Window and Water
town, S. D., being the biggest pur-
chasers. Red Cross branches in Red
wood County and the surrounding
counties have also bought in large
quantities.
This yarn is Of course all the regu-
lation Red Cross yarn in gray and
khaki. While in the east recently,
Mr.. Gales made arrangements di-
rectly with mill so that the quality
of the yarn will always be the same.
Recently large shipment had to be
returned because the quality did not
come up to the standard set by Pal
ace. 1000 pounds have been ordered
and will be shipped to Redwood Falls
as needed at cost of $4,000. Slay-
ton alone recently purchased yarn
here to the extent of 1,200 pounds.

Stewart May Run

A. D. Stewart has been approached
from various quarters of Redwood
County during the last several days
and solicited to make the campaign
for Representative fro~1 Redwood
County. Whether he consents or not
will undoubtedly depend upon how
persistent the voices become. Mr..
Stewart, in an interview with the
Gazette states however, that he does
not hear such calls especially well
and they must be rather loud and i'm
pressive in order to make themselves
heard. Mr.. Stewart is very busy at
present with the various activities
connected with his work as Redwood
County representative of the Safety
Commission, and other work in which
all loyal Americans are at present
themselves. Realizing that
a campaign at this time would nee
essarily take considerable time from
these duties, he hesitates about ac-
cepting his friends invitation to get
into it. However the call for loyal
men for public Office this year is an
insistent one and it is possible Mr..
Stewart may be persuaded to get
into the game.

No Goods Sent
Direct to Men
Duplication Results, Leading to Al
legged Sales and Loss of Gar
ments in Summer

Red Cross warehouses in charge of
Red Cross field directors at each
camp and cantonment are provided
with an ample supply of knitted ar
ticles. These are distributed to the
men upon their arrival, and each ar
ticle checked to the man the same
as his other military equipment. The
men are thereby made responsible
for these valuable articles and can
not sell them when warm weather
comes, but must turn them back so
they can be used again when needed.
Well meaning people are frequent
ly giving Red Cross articles to their
men before leaving home. These men
are supplied with complete Red Cross
knitted outfits on arrival at canton
ments, and feel at liberty to sell the
extra articles whenever they need
the money. This results in damag-
ing reports of Red Cross articles be-
ing sold for trifing sums.
Put Stop to Error.
Help your Red Cross and put an
absolute stop to this error. Send in
everything to the Northern Division
headquarters, particularly for our men
in France. The yarn cannot be spared
for needless duplication. If any men
have been supplied in this way from
your chapter, please ask your COM
mittees on military relief and civil
ian relief to write each one and ask
him, for the sake Of the men in
France, to accept no duplicate arti-
cles from the Red Cross and to turn
in to the Red Cross warehouse their
knitted articles when duplicated and
when no longer needed.
Comfort kits only should be . sup
piled from each chapter when your
men are not already supplied from
other sources. Please see that your
new draft men are provided with COM
fort kits.-Northern Division Bulletin.

ChriSS Jensen
Buys Creamery
Local Creamery Becomes Property of
Young Man of Much Experience
And Ability in This Work

Last week a business deal was con-
sumated whereby Chriss Jensen, late
ly Of Moose Jaw, Canada, became the
owner Of the Scenic City Creamery,
the former owner, R. Stensvad, dis
posing of it in order that he may
devote his entire time to the busi-
ness of conducting his garage. The
new owner will take possession April
l, and the creamery will hereafter
be known as the Redwood Falls
Creamery.
Mr.. Jensen has spent the past
eighteen months as the manager of
the Saskatchewan Creamery Com
pany located at Moose Jaw and was
offered most attractive offer to re-
turn to work with this same company.
In a letter written by the president
OF the company, the statement is
made that Mr.. Jensen had made dur
ing the year 1917, approximately a
half-million pounds of butter with a
very high average test. The letter
also stated that the company re-
gretted that Mr.. Jensen had decided
not to return as it's manager as it
considered him valuable man.
Since buying the creamery, Mr..
Jensen has been offered the position
as manager of the butter department
in the government creamery of Can
ada-an offer which also carried a
high salary with it. Before going to
Canada Mr.. Jensen spent two years
in the creamery at Gaylord where he
made an enviable reputation for him
self as butter maker as well as a
manager of creamery business. Be-
fore his Gaylord experience he worked
at the State College of Agriculture
at Brookings, S. D., and before that
he worked for seven years at Din
nell. MINI. 1t was while he worked
at Dinnell that Mr.. Jensen made a
record for himself as an expert but
ter maker, winning seven first prizes
ana four second prizes at various con-
tests in buttermaking held through
out the state. One of these first prizes
was won in an international contest
held at Milwaukee where the butter
made by Mr.. Jensen scored ninety
six points.
Just what changes Mr.. Jensen may
decide to make in the equipment of
the creamery he has not yet an
nounced excepting to say that he ex-
poets to put in new pasteurizing equip
ment Immediately. He will supe rim
tend the work himself, taking over
the duties of T. G. Olson who has
been the efficient manager of the
creamery for the past few years. Mr..
Olson has not yet announced what
his future plans are.
Mr.. Jensen is man of pleasing
and attractive personality, a man
whom the city is bound to number
among her useful citizens within a
few months and one whom the towns
people heartily welcome. He has al
ready taken up his residence here.

c. {. King Still
Likes Camp Cody
Returns from Winter Spent in New
Mexico and States Soldiers Are
Well Taken Care Of

Several weeks ago the Gazette pub
ished letter from G. c. King then
living at Deming, New Mexico, stat
ing that he had no criticism to make
of Camp Cody nor the treatment the
soldiers in training there are get
ting. Last week Mr. King returned
home after having spent three and a
half months there and he reiterates
his former statement.
Mr.. King admits that the dust
storms are a severe trial, but with
the oiling Of the streets of the camp
and the postponing of the drills dur
ing the severe storms, he considers
that the bad effect of these storms
on the boys is negligible. He states
that this condition is very little worse
than the same conditions at Camp
Sill in Oklahoma and the camp at
Houston, Texas, and both of these
later camps have bad water supply
to contend with while at Cody the
water supply is a hundred per cent
perfect. Mr.. King also visited the
hospitals frequently and in all the
time he was there he only heard one
man complain of the hospital treat
ment while every one else who had
been ill there was loud in their praise
of doctors and nurses.
Altogether Mr.. Kings report is
one of comfort to the parents who
have boys in training there. While
he admits that the death rate early
in the winter seemed heavy, it was
not especially so when one considers
that there are $4,000 men encamped
there and they all had to become
acclimated as well as hardened to
the hard work of army life.
Mr.. King has highest praise for
the officers in charge of the camp
and thinks that the training done
during the last few months has been
splendid. Company L boys were in
good health and spirits when he left
the camp and still anxiously await
ing the summons to go after the
kaiser. He states that most of the
men from Redwood Falls including
Captain Clement have put on weight
and are looking fine.
