ROBERT SWIFT, SAUK CEN
TIRE BOY, DIES FROM WOUNDS
RECEIVED IN BATTLE

Mr.. and Mrs. M. Swift received ,
wire from the war department at
Washington a few days ago stating
that their son, Robert M. Swift, .
member of Co. E, 9th Init. had died
of wound received in action. The tele-
gram stated that death occurred Aug.
IL. The announcement came as a Sc
we're shock as the family had not re-
ceived any word announcing the ILL
ness of their boy.
"Bob" went into service with the
first draft contingent leaving Sauk
Centre last September. He was first
sent to Camp Dodge and later to
Camp Pike, Ark. He went over seas
in the early summer. He was born
Dec. IL, 1887 and came to Sank Cen
tire with his parents when two. years
of age. Practically all of his life was
spent in this locality. He devoted
most of his time to farm work,
although he was employed for couple
of years at the Palmer House Garage.
He numbered his friends by his ac-
quaintances. He went into service
willingly, and no doubt gave his all
bravely. The family have the SYM
pathy of the entire community in the
sacrifice they have made for human
ity,s sake.

CITY Will GOOVER
TOP ON BOND ISSUE
SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT OF
ALLOTMENT HAS BEEN
Us RAISED IN DISTRICT.
ALLOTMENT IS NOT EQUAL
WESTERN STEARNS TOWNSHIPS
ARE ASSESSED HEAVIER THAN
s-WEALTHIER NEIGHBORS.

The splendid victories being won on
all of the European battle fronts by
the Americans and her Allies should
be In inspiration to the American peo-
pie put the Fourth Liberty Loan
Bond issue of six billion dollars over
with a whoop.
Reports are that a large percentage
of the present loan has been raised at
this stage of the drive than on any
of the preceding issues. The loan
will go over beyond question.
In many parts of the country the
loan is being raised by voluntary eff
fort upon the part of the citizens.
That plan has been in vogue in
Stearns county: Each citizen has been
notified of his allotment and has been
told to call at stipulated place and
sign up for the amount assigned him.
Chairman Strong, who has charge
of the bond sale for Sank Centre city,
Sank Centre, Getty, Raymond, Ashley
townships, has kept open house at the
Commercial Club rooms, Sank Centre,
since Saturday, Sept. %. At this
writing, Thursday morning, about -
per cent of the 234,000 allotted to this
section of Stearns county has been
raised.
Sank Centre city will raise the allot-
ment of $4,000 beyond a doubt, but
there is serious question as to whether
the townships will be able to make the
grade. Investigation proves that these
townships have been allotted q higher
amount than wealthy townships like
Grove, for instance.
The allotment for this district is,
divided as. follows ~.
Sank Centre city ........... $4,000
Sank Centre township ....... 39,00t
Getty township ............. 10000
Raymond township -. $3.50. 10000
Ashley township ......... 25,00O
The bond sale is supposed to close
today, but Chairman Strong informs
the Herald that he will keep the
Headquarters open until Monday, Oct.
Z to give the people an opportunity to
call and arrange for their allotment
The people should do this, too, as the
men representing the government in
raising the allotment are devoting
their time to the work without one
cent of compensation. 1t ought not
to be necessary for them to call On
a single individual.
The man who fails to take his allot-
ment is looked upon by the govern
ment as Stacker. At a recent ses-
sion of the Minnesota Safety Commits
sion Order No. A was promulgated.
This order has to do especially with
the person who fails to take his bond
allotment. 1t is said to have "teeth'
in it and the fellow who tries to duck
doing what he should to carry on the
war is in for some serious trouble.
