Occupation Army
In Rhine Country
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
ASK DOUGHBOYS, RESTING
IN COBLENZ

The detectives of the American az
my of occupation were reached Sun
day at various points. Spreading out
like a great fan the advanced units
of the American took up their posi-
lions along the boundary of a 30-kil-
ometre semi-circle pivoting on Co
blenz.
The Thirty second division is occu-
plying the bridgehead on the left, the
Second division comes next, while the
First division is on the right of the
Second division. Two French divisions
are occupying a part of the bridge
head, their position being on the ex-
IRENE right of the Americans.
AS the various detachments reach
ed the boundaries of the bridgehead
the infantrymen marched into the
town behind bands playing spirited
American airs. In some instances
the bands bave concerts for the bene-
fit of the natives while the infantry
men hustled about looking for quar-
tiers.
The men of the brdgehead force,
as they reached the limits of the great
arc during Sunday, began settling
down for rest after their hike from
the battle line in France which began
just four weeks ago. Different units
all along the line are in the occupied
villages.
The officers are using public build
ings as headquarters, but are being
billeted in hotels and priva,e homes
The main body of troops encamped
just west of the bridgehead. The men
spent Sunday in making themselves
comfortable for an extended stay on
the bridgehead. The doughboys hav-
ing reached their objective are now
asking each other "Where do we &c
| from here ?"

Food Saving Is
Not At An End
Mr.. HOOVER STATES END OF
WAR MENAS GREATER DE-
MAND FOR FOOD.

Is the Food Administration at an
end? Not until peace is finally sign
ed with Germany Is there anything
to do? We demand to your consider
alton Mr.. Hoover's message.
Survey Europe; a large part is in
ruins or social camflagration, with
degenerate soils and depleted herds.
Whole populations are on rations or
suffering privation. Large numbers
are actually starving. The group of
gamblers in human life, who have
done this thing have cowardly fled,
leaving anarchy and famine to mil
lions of helpless people. 1t is up to
US to see what can be done to redeem
this mass of Humanity back to health
anq social order.
he end Of the war means an en-
ormous demand for food to feed starv-
ing millions released from the Ger
man yoke. 1t is our concern to fur
nish this food to enable them to re-
turn to health and prosperity. The
war has been brought to an end in
no small measure by starvation it
self 1t cannot be our business to
maintain starvation after peace,
Here is our opportunity for service
Let. us take account of stock. Con-
slider duty in the matter and change
policies to fit the situation"
This is the last big job of the Food
Administration.

Melvin DaSkanl
Among Wounded
REDWOOD FALLS BOY WOUNDED
AUGUST 6; NO REPORT SINCE
THAT TIME.

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Daskam have
finally received some word from Their
son Melvin Daskam from whom they
had not heard for several months.
Through A. C. Dolliff, local chair
man of the Red Cross Civilian Re-
lief, the following telegram was re-
ceived last week "Paris Central Of
flee cables that Melvin Daskam of
Company E, So Infantry was wound
ed August 6. No reports of death re-
ceived".' The telegram then goes on
to say that further investigation
would be Immediately made.
1t will be recalled that the battle
Of August was the battle in which
Lester King met his death, and the
one in which Kenneth Mckay receiv-
ed such severe injuries. These boys,
in company with Melvin and Edgar
VIM were all together before the
drive over the top was made, and the
fate of the other three has been learn
ed with certainty. What may have
been the outcome of Melvin's injur-
les however remains a mystery. OF
the four Edgar was the only one for
tunate enough to come out unscarne>.
The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty is felt for Mr.. and Mrs. Daskar,
who have borne the great anxiety and
heartache Of the past months with
wonderful strength and fortitude.
Their friends still remain hopeful that
they will receive definite news and
favorable news within a short time.

Min Mckay
Wins HOnOrS
LII BOY TAKES SWEEP
TAKES AT BABY BEEF SHOW
LAST WEEK.
CALF SELLS FOR 1922.
PRIZE sHORTHORN PURCHASED
FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER AT
LOUIS HILL HOME.

1t remained for Irwin Mckay of
Delhi and his Shorthorn calf to put
Redwood County on the map at the
Baby Beef Show which was held at
st. Paul Wednesday of last week, and
the pair certainly did the job thorough
ly and we'll. Not satisfied with tax
ing first prize in a race with twenty
other steers in the Senior Class, r.
wins Prince Hoover wasn't content
until he had won the first prize of
Nenty-five dollars in the Shorthorn
,ecial and then he entered the ring
s&h several other selects and came
gut wearing the grand championship.
g These three honors were all that
Prince Hoover could possibly get be-
cause there were only three contests
in which he could be entered. That
is all that kept him from bringing
home more prizes.
Following the show Prince Hoover
was sold to Louis w. Hill, for thir-
ty-five cents a pound and there were
nine hundred and twenty pounds of
him. So the boy who fattened him
and raised him with such painstak-
ing care is the richer by 1922. This
amount in addition to the money pre-
Amiums won at this show and also
uthe prize of twenty dollars which
YPrince Hoover won at the Redwood
PCounty Fair, has made the past year
rather profitable introduction into
the Baby Beef business for Irwin.
The man who represented Mr.. Hill
Vat the sale said that the fine young
Fcalf would be slaughtered and used
as a part of the Christmas dinner
at the Hill home. The price of thir-
ty-five cents a pound is the highest
price ever paid for baby beef at a
public sale in Minnesota.
The calf which closely contested
We grand championship with Prince
! ioover was a prize Agus calf shown
v Lyle Sherman of Marshall. The
4 dye gave the honors to the Red
God County calf because of his sup
erior breeding and the skillful and
professional way in which his mast
o. er handled him in the ring.
Wednesday evening the boys and
girls who had entered the calves in
the show were the guests at g
banquet given in their honor by the
business men of South st. Paul. Al
this dinner Irwin was called on to tel
show he did it" but modestly refus-
ed to take any of the credit to him
self, stating that his success was
entirely due to the fact that his cali
was well-bred Shorthorn, which
means that it could not be anything
else but first and that his perona
efforts were no greater nor more
Skillful than those contestants. Irvir
is the son of Mr.. and Ms. Thomas
Mckay of Delhi and through aSsoci
alton with his fathers fine Shorthor:
stock has become a most efficient
stockman.
