Before the soldier boys left Will
mar, Mimi, recently they were given
a banquet, after which. some good
speaking was done. The Willmar
Tribune in speaking of the affair
speaks Of Rev. F. H. Oehler, who for
several years was Rector of the Epsi-
copal church in this city, and now at
the head of a church at Willmar, and
this is what that paper says:
The last speaked was Rev. F. H.
Oehler the new rector of st. |Lukse
Episcopal church of our city. He
made a strong address, speaking of
the great things that are at stake in
this big world conflict and of the great
principles, political, social and spirit
ual which the United States is deter
mined to preserve for humanity, and
for which these young men are now
going to fight. He said that the is
sues of the: struggle are now more
clarified than at the outset of the war
and that they have finally resolved
themselves to the proposition whether
the golden rule and the teachings OF
Christ are to survive or the doctrine
of force and might prevail. Rev.
Oehler like Ex-G Governor Rice, refer

MRS. A. E. |VERSON
CALLED BY DEATH

Last Saturday morning the people
of the city were shocked by the news
of the death of Mrs. A. E.. Iverson,
wife of A. E. %Iverson, local manager
of the Pure Oil Co. She had been
sick but a few days and no one was
aware that her condition was as ser
ious as it proved to be.
Deceased has been a resident of this
city for eight or nine years, before her
marriage to Mr.. Iverson she was a
resident of Kenmare, where she grew
to womanhood. During her residence
in Devils Lake she made a host of
friends through her kind and loving
disposition and after her death a close
friend truly made the remark, "she
died without having made an enemy,

city was a large one, and and as a

Jack Up P. M. G.

Senator Gallinger has taken a signi-
ficant. step in calling his colleagues
attention to the deplorable condition
Of the domestic postal service. This,
in connection with the comment which
has been made in the House regard
ing the wretched service which the
mails are giving to u soldiers in
France, will probably result in a
sweeping investigation in the post
Office Department. What ever short
comings may be developed will prob
ably not produce a change in the Of
flee of Postmaster General, since it is
the Presidents policy to stand by his
subordinates, no matter how incom-
petent they may prove. But facts
may be developed and probably. will
be developed if the investigation is
faithfully, made which will enable
Congress to do something which may
tend to make the Postoffice Depart
ment efficient in spite of Mr.. Burle-

To Farm Bureau Members:
You have no doubt noted that a
short hay crop for the coming season
is very probable. To forstall a feed
shortage, it will be necessary in most
localities to plant a. hay substitute.
Corn seems to be the most logical crop
for that, purpose.
Rhode Island White Flint and yell
low Dent seed corn can be. secured
through Mr.. j. H. Shepperd of the
Agricultural College. The Rhode Is
land Flint variety compares very ia
vorably with North Western Dent in
its method of growth and date of ma
turity. The Yellow Dent is somewhat
later in maturity and is more adopted
to production of silage and fodder.
The price is $6.0O.f. o. b. Fargo.
Get in tuoch with, Mr.. Shepherd at
once. Tell your neighbor.
Yours very truly,
