Saturday.
The movement of the Northwest
guardsmen from France to the Unit

way, according to the statement by
General March, who said that Gen
eral Pershing was instructed early
this week to send back troops not
needed for police duty or to occupy
enemy territory.
General staff officials in touch with
the movement of troops said Satur-
day that the arrival of the Sandstone
division in the United States would
undoubtedly be before Christmas, and
the discharge of the men may be
completed in time to let them rea-h
home before December 25.

AGED RESIDENT ALONE IN
HOUSE WHICH CATCHES FIRE
LIVES ONLY FEW HOURS.

Mrs. Peter Yantz, wife of Peter
Yantz of Renville County died as the
result of burns received when their
home burned last Saturday afternoon.
The fire was discovered about three
o'clock in the afternoon and Mrs.
Yantz was never conscious after that
time. Her death occurred at two
o'clock Sunday morning at the home
oe her brother -in-law, George Yantz
at North Redwood where she was
taken after being burned. Funeral
services were held at the Yantz home
Monday afternoon and interment
made in the Beaver Falls cemetery.

Mrs. Wants was born in Wisconsin
in 1912 and came to Renville County
in 1872. That same year she was
married to Peter Yantz and they

Poultry Show Soon

Redwood County will have a real
poultry show this year according to
the statemtnt of M. Treu, secretary of
the recently organized Redwood coun-
ty poultry association. From govern
ment resources Mr.. Treu has procur-
ed $500 to be used for premiums and

sary for holding the show. There
fore the first exhibition will be held
at Morgan probably some time late
in January. The other officers of
the Association are Thos. Hoskins,

Don't Cash Your
Stamps

1t has been learned that some of
the residents of Redwood County are
already cashing in their War Saving
Stamps and this practice is greatly
to be deplored. While it is perfectly
legal that these stamps be cashed in
at any time after ten days notice, it
is not patriotic to cash them in while
the government so badly needs the
money for it's reconstruction work and
people doing it (unless it is absolute
ly necessary to do so to obtain the
essentials of life) are failing in their
duty toward their government almost
as greatly as though they had not
taken the stamps in the first place.
This money is very much needed and
will be for several months yet so if
there is any way possible for you to
hang on to your stamps, you will be
performing great service if you
will do it. Redwood County still re-
tains the fifth place in the state in
the purchase Of w. S. S. but she can
not retain this place if many stamps
buyers demand the money for their
stamps. To buy stamps and then
turn them in, in short time, is
cheap form of patriotism, a mere
imitation of the real thing. Keep
your stamps are a safe invest
ment.

Insane Farmer
Injuries His Wife
FRED ZASKE OF RENVILLE co.
HANGS HIMSELF AFTER
TERRIBLE ACT.

The people of Olivia were shocked
tuesday morning on learning that
an attempted murder followed by a
suicide, had occurred just outside the
village at the F. w. Zaske home.
1t appears that at about $50 Tues
day morning Mrs. Zaske went to the
cow barn to assist with the milking
and shortly afterward her husband
Fred ZaSke, rushed in with an ak
and attacked her, stricking her in
the head and cutting deep cash near
the temple, another on the top of
the head and one in the back of the
head. He then went to an out house
nearby and secured rope with which
he hanged himself. When found a
shott time afterward by member
: the family, he was dead. Coroner
.5asser and Sheriff Sunde were call
ed and the body was ordered taken
to the undertaking rooms of August
Dirks in town, from which place the
funeral was held yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Zaske was badly injured but
she managed to get to the house
where she was soon under the care
of Dr. Passer. She is receiving the
best of attention and treatment but
the Doctor says her recovery is still
in doubt.
That the tragedy was due to the
insanity of Mr.. Zaske there can be
no doubt. His mental condition was
passed upon by the probate court
some years ago and at that time he
was committed to the asylum for
the insane. On one occasion he
burned his own barn, together with
some live stock, and attempted sui
eide by jumping into a well, from
which he was rescued. 1t was sup
, posed he had recovered from his all
ment, but his acts would indicate
hat he was seized with a sudden and
kolent attack.
PThe deceased was born in Germany
and was 50 years, months and a
dys old at the time of his death. He
came to this country many years ago,
residing for time on farm in En-
NETT township and later moving here
where he has resided for several years.
He was the father of a large fami-
ly, two of his sons being at present
with the American army in France.
His rash act is a sad blow to the
family, and the sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to them in their af-
fiiction.-Olivia Times.

Socialists Fail
In Sunday Parade
CIVILIANS TEAR UP BANNERS,
BUT ARE DISPERSED
BY SOLDIERS.

There was no red flag demonstra-
ton in The Gateway at Minneapolis
Sunday and no speech by j. O. Ben
tall convicted disloyalist.
Several thousand spectators, the
Fourth and Sixth Minnesota infantry
regiments, the Minneapolis and ST.
Paul battalions of the Motor Corps
two squads of policemen, agents of
the Department of Justice, deputy
sheriffs, and a little procession-a
mere handful of radical, professions.
agitators, were there.
A crowd estimated at $4,000 per-
sons, was III The Gateway or facing
it from either Nicollet or Hennepin
avenues, at o'clock, the hour at
which the demonstration advertised
by the Socialist party of Minnesota
and Hennepin county was advertised
to begin.
Sheriff Otto Langum's order, pro-
hibsti1g the demonstration, the def
ance issued on Saturday by the So
cialists, and the taking over of the
entire situation by the Governor, are
thought to have b. en- responsible for
the gathering in such large numbers.
Sheriff Langum, when word was
brought to him last week that red
flag demonstration was to be held,
and that Bentall, convicted of draft
obstruction and disloyalty, and NOM
mated by the Socialists for governor
was to be a speaker fatty forbade
the meeting. He issued an order to
that effect.
The socialist party of Minnesota
and Hennepin county issued a def
ance to the sheriff on Saturday. The
defy was as follows.
"Extra-Sheriff Langum to be de-
fled. Mass demonstration and meet
ing Sunday afternoon to be in spite
of his orders. The short witted hire
ings of the capitalist class forget that
the one big reason why the American
people have stood various encoach-
ments upon their constitutional rights
and liberties-the warts no more.

More Flour May
Now Be Purchased
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR AUTHOR
lies SALE OF NINETY-DAYS
RATIONS.

w. G.. Weldon, Food Administrator
for Redwood County, Monday mailed
to all the food administrators of the
county the following letter relative
to the purchase of ninety-day sup
ply of flour, the supply to be based
upon a ration of twelve pounds for
each member in the family The let
ter, which is self-explanation and of
general interest to all residents of
the. county is printed below.
"From and after the receipt of
this letter, it is permissible for consul
mers to purchase 80 day supply Of
wheat flour
eve have noticed some criticism to
our regulations, allowing only 30
day upply of wheat flour in the past
and believe that you have heard some
such criticism.
'The Food Administration did not
limit the supply of wheat flour to
any particular time, Lut did limit it
in this respect, that they asked US
to curtail the sale Of wheat flour
as much as possible, to the immed-
late needs of the general public.
thought the simplest method was to
limit the flour sales to 80 day sup
ply secifying IL pounds to the person
to be sufficient for 80 days. My pur-
pose in thus limiting it was two fold.
first to conserve the sale and limit
the amount of wheat flour that might
be used, and second to save the con-
sumner any possible chance of loss
as would surely occur, had we allowed
them to lay in their WATER supply
two months ago.
81 had several calls in September
from people wishing to lay in their
winter supply which l refused. Had
| permitted them at that time to buy
their supply, they would have been
required to purchase, SO per cent sub
stitutes. Shortly thereafter, the linn
it was reduced to 20 per cent substi-
tutes, and on November 13, all sub
stitutes for wheat flour were remov-
ed. | believe that now people who
understood our motive in holding them
to a 80 day supply, will appreciate
what we did for them"
Mr.. Weldon, in taking with the
Gazette, supplemented the above by
remarking that conservation of flour
and all other food stuffs is still urged
and that all households will govern
themselves accordingly. Mr.. Weldon
also stated that powdered sugar may
now be obtained on the same basis as
brown and graduated sugar. Three
pounds per person may now be pur-
chased and after December l four
pounds per capita may be purchased.

Must Help In East
Says DR.. Finley
DEPLORABLE CONDITION FOUND
IN PALESTINE BY REPRESEN-
TATIVE OF RED CROSS.

Relief work on far greater scale
than is now being administered by
the American Red Cross among the
civilian population of the Holy Land
is Immediately necessary IF thou
sands of men, women and children
are to- be saved. This fact is en-
phasized in a cable received at Red
Cross headquarters from DR.. John H.
Finley, Red Cross Commissioner for
Palestine, and Commissioner of Edu-
cation of the State of New York.
One-third of the population of Leb-
anon died of starvation and disease
due to lack of nourishment. Many viii
lagos are depopulated and IL ruins,
and thousands of persons are in the
direst need as the result of epidemics
prohibitive prices of food and inabi-
lily to get work, according to DR..
Finley. Families formerly in the
best of circumstances have been re-
duced to restitution. Everywhere the
people are clamoring for an opport-
unity to rehabilitate themselves.
Conditions in many of the hospitals
are deplorable because of the short
age of physicians. More than 10000
sick civilians have been cared for by
the Red Cross in a single month and
Red Cross automobiles are transport
ing hundreds of wounded and sick
prisoners to the hospital every day.
There are 10000 American refugees
in and about Damascus and 5000
more in the Hauran district the cable
states.
DIR. Finley says the Red Cross work
ers have been doing everything to
relieve the distress, but adds that
greatly increased help must come at
once. He recommends that the Am
erican Red Cross send two addition
al hospital units to the Holy Land
as soon as possible. This recommen-
dation has been approved by General
Allenby, at whose request the British
War office has taken the matter up
with the Red Cross.
sAmerica should be the first to
help in the rehabilitation of the Holy
Land which Great Britain and her AL
lies have redeemed" says DR.. Finley.

Man Spiked as
The Unsteady Factor

But this difference in origin distin-
guishes the sexes throughout all their
later life and adventures. The woman
is anabolic, tending to acquire and store
up energy The man is katabolic. tend
ing to give off and disslpate energy.
Woman is the steady factor in society,
the home keeper, the conserver, the one
you can depend on; in earlier times she
used to be the head of the house and
queen of the tribe, and men danced
around her and begged favcrs. Man is
the unsteady factor, the hunter, the
scarcher, the experimenter. "Morpho-
logically, men are the more unstable
element of society and .his instability
expresses itself in the two extremes Of
genius and idiocy." Primitive man
went off on all sorts of crazy advent
ures, in pursuit Of his narabolic des-
tiny, but he came back to the hearth
to have woman pet him ard doubtless
say, y ou are Just a foolish boy"
Professor Thomas, dipping for mo-
ment into aesthetic criticism, says: "The
artistic situation par excellence is the
ssoftened representation OF the bio
logical fact that the katabolic male
