Change Should
Cause NOAnxiety
TWO CHECKS INSTEAD OF ONE
TO COVER ALLOTMENTS: ALL
MONEY WILL COME

There has been an important
change in the matter of allotn 1ts
of the soldiers and sailors and their
and in the payment of
War Risk Insurance. Over ,a--
ter Of million people in the United
States will shortly be wondering why
allowances from soldiers in the SER
vice are apparently reduced u am
cunt. This is by reason Of the f.. It
that the War Risk Insurance Board
is to issue the checks hereafter Cor
the compulsory allotments and all ex-
cess amounts. In other words, the
difference between that and what has
heretofore been received will be paid
by that particular branch Of the SER
vice in which the soldier or sailor
is serving.
It is highly important that people
must understand the reason for the
change and be advised that there
will be a certain delay in the pay
ment of the excess allowances. They
will receive shortly second check to
cover the deficiency.
1t is also requested that publicity
be given this matter in order to pre-
vent the necessity of writing letters
to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
or other departments in regard to
the matter, all of which departments
are already flooded with correspon-
dence. State Safety Commission.

fuer Relief Fund
Is Now Started
SPECIAL MEETING OF CONNER
CIAL CLUB DECIDES TO RAISE
FUND FOR WRECKED TOWN

At special meeting Of the Com
mercial Club held Tuesday afternoon
it was decided that committee con-
sisting of President F. r. Lobdell,
Secretary A. J. White, and Mayor,
VIM. nj. Smith should send to Tyler
an expression Of sympathy from the
citizens of Redwood Falls, and also
that this same committee should So
licit the citizens of the city for funds
to be sent to Tyler as a relief
A.subscription was started during
the meeting and about ninety dol
lars raised. This was accomplished
in a very short time and with a
small membership present. The COM
mittee expects to have no difficulty
in raising a large amount and every
citizen Of Redwood Falls is asked to
cooperate with them in making this
very worthy fund as large as the
cause warrants. A city of this size
should send several hundred dollars.
Another matter taken up at this
special meeting was the matter of
the delivery from grocery stores. The
entire absence of deliveries has been
found a eral hardship in many cases
and the legislative committee was
advised to consult with the state
Food Administration Department as
to the advisability of having one de-
livery each day.

Store Robbed

Last Monday morning, Christ Jen-
sens hardware store was broken into
and quantity Of pocket knives and
shells stolen. Entrance to the build
ing was made through one of the rear
windows which was broken, the glass
from which was scattered all over the
rear Of the building. The thieves
took about 5000 worth Of knives and
gun shells. The cash register was
broken open but there was no money
in it. There were however, num-
Der Of approval slips missing. Why
slips for is beyond understanding as
they are Of no value whatever.
Mr.. Jensen believes that robbery
was committed by local parties and
has a number Of clues to bear out
his suspicious. The bungly manner
in which the robbery was committed
bears out the contention that the
deed was committed by amateurs.
A number Of small thefts and rob
berries have been committed at Evan
and Golden during the past few
months and SO far the perpetrators
have not been aprehended, but as
they seen to be getting more bold
and also careless in covering up their
tracks, it IL hoped their carelessness
viii leave sufficient clues to lead to
their arrest and conviction. Sleepy

when we see the smile on the faces

One day just as we were eating

Tyler Visited By
Terrible Stern
THIRTY-ONE PEOPLE LOSE LIVES
OVER SIXTY INJURED IN CY-
CLONE OF LAST WEDNES-
DAY NIGHT
PROPERTY LOSS HEAVY
STORM TEARS THROUGH SEVEN
BLOCKS OF BUSINESS AND
RESIDENT SECTION

Tyler, d town of about twelve hun
dred population, was visited Wednes-
day night August Fl, by the most
destructive cyclone, Minnesota has
ever known. AS result of this
storm thirty one people are dead
and over sixty badly injured people
are in the improvised hospital and
in the homes which were untouched
by the storm.
The storm struck the town at nine
thirty o'clock, tearing through the
business section, strip block wide
showing the path of a most terrific
wind. The path extended seven blocks
through the residence portion and
then out into the country where one
set of farm buildings was complete
ly demolished and some others more
slightly injured. The property loss
is estimated at several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Assistance in the form of relief
supplies of food and clothing, nurs-
es, and men to aid in the work of
searching for bodies under the ruins
was rushed to Tyler early Thursday
and has been there with reinforce
ments constantly added. The Home
Guard of various Minnesota towns
have been called and since Thursday
evening the town has been under mar
tial law. This was made necessary
to protect property from the hordes
of curious who rushed to the city.
The Redwood Falls Home Guard went
Sunday and are still on duty. They
will probably be released today or
Thursday. 1t is estimated that 10000
-$people from Minnesota iowa and Da-
kota visited the striker city Sunday.
An effort is already being m-.de
to clear up the ruins preparatory
to rebuilding. Both banks have
announced their intention of
erecting new buildings at once, and
of assisting other citizens to do the
same. Some men have lost both
homes and business houses and
are absolutely dependent upon
outside help to again get started in
their business life. Many families
have no homes and no clothing cx-
cept what they were wearing at The
time of the storm. Several mothers
are left with small children to sup
port, the husband and father having
been killed. With winter coming on
the prospect for Tyler is anything
but cheerful and it behooves every
citizen in the state to render the
village ever assistance, financial OF
otherwise which he possible can.

Many Redwood Falls citizens have

Sugar Hoarders

It is leaking out that number of
people of Vesta and vicinity have
been purchasing more sugar than
the federal laws permit them to buy,
and judging from official correspon-
dence shown us first of this week,
this part Of Redwood County will
have number of contributors to the
Red Cross on sugar boarding, same
as Brown County had on wheat. The
federal department is getting out
of patience with this class of people
who knowingly violate food commits
sion orders, and the chances are that
some fifteen or twenty people here
about are going to be given an oppor-
tunity without their consent, for an
interview with federal agent who
will be in this burg in the near flu
ture.
No matter who they are we hope
every food hog is given the maxi
mum penalty, converted to penal
servitude instead of fines.-Vesta

Another Nurse Goes

The many Lamberton friends of
Miss Daisy Wanstrum, daughter of
Mrs. A. A. Swanbeck, will be pleased
to know. that the good word for which
she has so long hoped to receive has
reached her and that she is now in
New York, on her way to France,
where she will serve her country in
the capacity of trained nurse, for
which she is so well fitted.
Miss Wanstrum has been at Camp
Custer, near Battle Greek, Mich. since
she received the call of the govern
ment in May. She had been visiting
in Lamberton from Christmas until
that time. She left for New York
Sunday.
She advises her mother that thirty
other trained nurses sail with her
and that they will begin their voyage
across the seas some time during the
present week. -Lamberton Star.

Enlist For Teaching

AS the time approaches for the
opening of the schools of this ma
ton, the shortage of teachers grows
more evident. A short time ago the
commissioner of Education, Claxton,
estimated that there would be shor-
tage of 100000 teachers in the Unit
ed states. Many schools in Mime
sofa will be closed this year because
it will be impossible to find teach
ers for them.
The schools must not be closed
nor the length of terms shortened
nor the standards lowered. Upon the
trained and enlightened intelligence
of the boys and girls now in our
schools will depend the safety and
progress of American democracy in
TIE future
School teachers are urged as their
patriotic duty to stick to their posts.
u where are teachers services so
much needed as in the schools. Sa-
laries of rural teachers in Redwood
County will this year range from $50
to 500 per month.
Seniors and graduates of high
schoo :; are urged to take the Nor
mai framing CourSc III tHS iuSu
schools. Both the Lamberton and
Redwood Falls schools offer a one
years teachers course. At the end OF
this course the students receive a
first grade state certificate and can
secure positions paying from $50 to
$50 per month.
Amy one interested in the high
school normal training course should
write either Superintendent Charles
Knox of Lamberton or Superinten-
dent Helm of Redwood Falls.

Harley Garner Writes

The following extract is taken from
a letter written by Harley Garner,
now in France, to his sister, Mrs.
Earl Bliss.
"We get real good food here and
plenty of white bread. like the
bread that. these French people make
when its fresh. The boys quite Of
ten buy some canned fruit and jam
at the commisary, and get some eggs
and have a little feed Of our own.
We haven't been able to get fresh
fruit here yet until today we got
some green plums.
Il wish you could see how these
people farm and how the women do
house work. They are so out of date.
1t reminds me Of what Dad tells Of
his childhood days. Most of the
poorer Class of people wear wooden
shoes, and the men and boys wear
a sort of dress over their clothes.
You can hardly tell boy from a
girl. You have more in your kitchen
than lots of these families have in
their whole house but / guess they
are just as happy as we are.
The family that / visit often, have
very little in their house, but what
they have is very nice. The furni-
ure is all hand made and most Of
it very old.
1t rained quite hard this A. M. so
we didn't go out to the drill field, but
practised stripping and assembling
machine guns instead. We also had
the nomenclature Of the automatic
Pistol, and functioning Of it. / have
been looking for letter from Frank
but haven't heard yet. He may be
at the front by this time

The enrolment Of those who find
it impossible to be present on the day
indicated above may come on any of
the four days named, and if absolute
ly necessary, the enrolment will be
completed at the opening of school,
but the above schedule will be follow
ed as closely as possible. Books may
also be purchased at the High School
at the time of enrolment. This will
largely dispense with the confusion
usually attendant upon the opening
day.
