Sacrifice. a.

(By the Sheafs Radium Correspondent
A telegram was received by Mrs. Tor
geson Monday morning at about 80 a.
m.,a telling her Of the death Of her be-
loEed. son Heron, who was killed in
aecttf6h On the last day Of the. war, Nov.
18th, before hostilities ceased. This
sad news was shock to us all, as a
letter was received from Heron just
five days. before peace came, telling his
mother he was we'll. And to think that
young man so noble, ambitious, and
energetic as Heron was, had to meet
such cruel death. He was hard work
ing, and a very pleasant young man.
The fact. that he had to make the SUI
preme sacrifice just on the eve Of peace,
and the return home, seems a rather
unkind TACT of fate. The heartfelt
sympathy of9this community goes out
to his m6ther;;, sister and brother, whom
he leaves to mourn his untimely death.
A blessed peace to his memory. :. i.

Lee Roy Riggs, of haywood, ILL.,,
young man who is well known>in War

slightly while signaling for his Com
pany. His revolver was shot to pieces
on one side Of him, his entrenching
shovel handle was splintered and next
he felt sting in his hand from Ger
man machine gun bullet. Lee then
crawled into shell hole in great bar
rage Of shells, bullets and stones which
lasted 35 minutes, after which he start
ed back to the first dressing station to
dress his own wounded hand and while
doing this walked right. into a lot of
gas. He was too dazed and weak to
put on his gas mask, but reached the
dressing station and with many others
was taken to Paris and placed in Red
Cross hospital. He was in the hospital
six or seven weeks, was classified and
sent to Blais to serve as guard near the
palace Of Louis XIX. After a week
there, he was classified again and re-
turned to Paris, where he is now official
base censor. He likes his position fine.
His two fingers are stiff from the
wounds but otherwise he is all right.

zines and several other letters from
friends. Lee is corporal in the army:

A Profitable Investment.

Last spring Mr.. e. A. Wright sowed
35c worth of rutabaga seed on a small

Of them he pulled and piled on the

them. The greater part tho he sold at
~ OF a cent per pound 1.-The buyer doing
his own pulling. The rutabagas were
sold to Messrs. Nc urdy and Garrison
for stock feed. While it was a profit
able deal for Mr. Wright it was also a
good proposition for the buyers as the
rutabagas furnished more feed for the

WORK BEGUN ON
live STOCK BUILDING

The newly organized Red River VAL
ley Live Stock Association held a meet
ing at Crookston recently at which time
important action regarding the live
stock interests of northern Minnesota
was taken. The association is managed
by board of directors and an advisory
council, consisting Of members from the
twelve northwestern Minnesota COZ In
ties. For Marshall county, L. Lamber-
son, Of Warren, is a member Of the
board Of directors, and F. A. Green, of
Stephen, is member Of the advisory
council. W. V. Gousseff, of the North
west School of Agriculture, was elected
secretary. '~ 49, -
This association is duly Incorporated
and will soon be the proud possessor
Of a $4,000 exhibit pavilion including
quarters for live stock sales, exhibits
and also for poultry. Funds for this
building are being collected at the pres!
ent time. The committees in charge Of
the canvass inSeach county are meeting
with encouragement from farmers and
business men alike who realize the need
Of stimulating live stock raising and
especially of getting into all parts of
the Valley high class dairy and beef
cattle, sheep and swine. AS time goes
on there will be. many local organiza-
lions working for the same purpose.
These will but emphasize the need of a
central clearing house where the live
stock men may secure superior sires
and breeding individuals and where in
turn they may dispose of the surplus
stock not readily taken up at the local
sales. The history Of other organiza-
tons like that of the Red River Valley
Live Stock group shows that such cen
trail sales have been the first step in
advancing live stock interests. CO., =
The unanimous response that has
been rendered this movement has great
ly encouraged the. promoters who are
men prominent in agricultural and
business circles in the various counties.
Without the backing of the different Or
CARNATIONS and individuals the under
taking to provide a $4,000 building
would have been impossible It speaks
well for the spirit Of the Red River
Valley that this thing can be. done.

GEORGE c. G: JOHNSON
IS DEAD
Prominent Thief River Falls Banker
Succumbs to Prevailing
Epidemic. 81 =

The people Of Warren were greatly
shocked when the report reached here
& last Friday that George G. Johnson,
formerly Of this city, now of Thief Ri
yer Falls, had died at about noon that
day from pneumonia.
Mr. Johnson had an attack of Span
ish Influenza about four weeks before
but had apparently gotten over it as he
was up and around attending to bust
ness affairs for two~or three weeks,
when pneumonia set in and he had to
take to his bed again. After battling
with the dreaded disease for five or six
! days, he succumbed as above stated:
George G.. johnson came to the nor
thern part of the state from Red Wing,
Mimi, his parental home, when he was
a young man. He stayed in Argyle for
a year or two and while there built up
q crack band whose fame spread over
this section Of the state. His ability as
a musician, especially as band leader,
became recognized and he soon moved
to Warren to become the leader of its
band. He built up a fine organizat ton
here in a short time. The Warren band
under his leadership became known all
over the state and had the honor to
play at the state fair some years ago
by special invitation from the state fair
management.
But Mr.. johnson had also excellent
qualifications as business man. Soon
after coming here he entered the en-
ploy of the First National Bank, re-
manning with the institution seven
49, ears serving first as bOokkeeper and
afterwards as assistant cashier. Being
offered position in Thief River Fails
he moved to that city to become assist
ant cashier of the First National Bank
there. A few years later he bought the
First State Bank of said city and be-
came it's cashier. Said bank was sub
seuuently consolidated with the Peoples
State Bank and known as the First and
PEOPLES State Bank, of which Mr.. john
son was vice president =
While living in Warren Mr.. Johnson
was united in marriage to Miss Lucille
Shaw. Of his city Z ! tfiirs' lliiioA
children were born: Maxine, IL. Ned1e
old; George, 8 years old; and Helen, 3
years old. These children and the
mother are now left to mourn the death
of a loving husband and father.
George Johnson was always jovlal
and whole-souled sort of man. He
made friends easily and thousands now
mourn his death, in the very strength
of his mature manhood. He was 43
years old at the time of death. His old
mother, brother and two or. three sis
ters, also mourn his demise. The re-
mains were taken to his old home in
Red Wing for interment. Many War
rpn friends extend sincere sympathy to
1.-The bereaved family. sT>'1

NEW NIGHT MESSAGE RATES.

: Postmaster General Burleson has an
nounced scale Of greatlys:redu
rates for short overnight messages as
distinguished from the longer night
letters. The new rates go into effect on
January LIST and should prove to be of
great value in conjunction with short
communications which should mot
suffer the delays inherent in physical
transportation by the railway mail ser
vice but which are not of sufficient
urgency or Importance to warrant the
payment of the minimum charges here
totore in effect for telegraphic trans
mission. Under the-new schedule short
overnight messages may be sent con-
siderable distance for as low as 20
cents, while the maximum is only so
cents as against a dollar maximum
which has prevailed. Manager A. F..
Andrew, of the local Western Union
office, advises that this new night mes
sage services does not interfere in any
way with the popular night letter SER
vice, but is intended to supplement it in
conjunction with shorter communica-
tons which have been going by mail
but which should desirably go by tele-
graph. Now. that the telegraphs are
operated as an integral part of the post
Office service it is understood to be the
policy of Postmaster General Burleson
to give the public an opportunity to
make the widest use of the telegraph
service in the elimination of delays to
communications due to separation by
distance, at the lowest rates which the
actual cost Of performing the service on
standardized basis, will permit.
The new short overnight message
rate from Warren to the Twin Cities is
30 cents for 10 words and i cent for
each additional word; to Chicago IS
centsand l cent; and to New York 40
cents and i cent.
