ATTEMPT TO MOVE COUNTY <

CLOUD RESULTS IN FAILURE

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Stearns County Farm
Bureau held at St. Cloud Saturday af-
ternoon of last week the question of
removing the headquarters of County
Agent Huntemer from Melrose to ST..
Cloud was considered. There were
those who contended that the affairs
of the agent should be administered
from the county seat. Jas. A. Caugh-
rem, Henry Borgmann, F. j. Borg
mann and B. F. Dubois of Sank Cen
tire and Gustav Levorson of Brooten
were present from Western Stearns
county. These gentlemen were will
ing that the headquarters should be
moved from Melrose to Albany it
necessary to get Mr.. Huntemer near
er the center of the county but were
opposed to having him located at ST.
Cloud in the extreme east end of the
county. The upshot of the matter
was that it was voted to leave Mr..
Huntemer at Melrose, and this will be
perfectly satisfactory to the wide
awake farmers from this section who
are using the office to good advantage.

SAUK CENTRE BRANCH
AMERICAN RED CROSS WILL
PUSH HOME SERVICE WORK

E. L. Heermance, field secretary of
the Red Cross Home Service bureau,
was in town on Wednesday, confer
ring with the local committee, which
consists of Mrs. A. F. Moynihan, l..
l.. Kells, J. A. Schoenhof and Mrs.
F. w. Sprague. The work at the
present time is particularly pressing,
owing to the delay in government
checks, which will be remedied in the
near future, according to Mr.. Heer-
nance. Later there will be much to do
for the returning soldiers.
The Red Cross Home Service is or
ganized neighborliness. 1t aims to do
for the whole community what the
church or lodge does for its members.
It's great work at present is for the
soldiers families helping them meet
the changed conditions due to the TAX
ing of . husband or son for military
service. In the spirit of helpfulness
and service, itOffers sympathy and aid
to all who need it. The strongest
men in the community are at its call,
to give advice on different questions.
Is there delay in. securing the allot-
ment and allowance due you from the
soldier and the government! Are you
worried because you have not heard
from your boy? Are there business
matters on which you need advice, be-
cause the man who used to attend to
these things is away? Do you need
to take advantage of the Law by
which mortgage cannot be forclosed
on a soldier absent on military SER
vice? Do you want to know wha
steps to take TO claim the compensa-
ton or , insurance due because OF a
soldiers injury or death? Do you
know of soldiers family where there
is sickness or trouble or loneliness or
actual need? Take it to the Red
Cross. Take it to the great patriotic
lodge to which we all belong. An in
formation bureau will be opened to
which you can go with your ques-
lions. Mr.. Schoenhof at the post Of
fee will be in charge.

RED CROSS FURNISHES A. E. F.
BOYS CARDS TO SEND HOLI-
DAY GREETINGS TO FRIENDS

Every American soldier in France is
to have the opportunity of sending
Christmas greetings to relatives and
friends in this country through the
medium of Christmas cards to be pro-
vided by the American Red Cross.
More than 100000 of these cards,
which are original in design and
typically American in spirit, have been
forwarded to France and will be dis
tributed by Red Cross workers to our
fighting men in time to permit their
return to this country for the Christ
mas celebration.
The distribution of these cards will
solve the problem of how the soldiers
overseas are going to remember the
folks back home at Christmas time.
Many letters received by the Red
Cross from men in France show that
the soldiers have been giving much
thought to this question. AS military
and postal regulations will make it
difficult for them to send gifts of any
kind from the other side, the Christ
mas cards will be doubly welcome.
Some of the best known artists in the
country contributed the card designs
to the Red Cross.

MONDAY WITH lis CASES
ON THE CALENDAR

One hundred and eleven civil and
four criminal cases are on the calen-
dar for the December term OF the DIS
trict court which opened on Mon
dav.IOf the civil cases, the first
thirty-three are personal property tax
proceedings and the remainder up to
and including No. 81 continued from
the previous term, leaving forty addl-
tional nep3cases.
Among the new actions those that
will probably attract most interest
will be the three against the st. Cloud
Oil Co., in each of of which suit is
brought for $500 after death had &C.
Cured from burning due to the use
of oil alleged to have been supplied
to local stores by the company.
OF the criminal cases two are con-
tinued and two appeals from the JUS
tice court.
But two cases await the attention Oh
the grand jury, unless two others
which were expected to be settled TO-
dav are not brought to the desired
conclusion.
II is expected that many Of the

snace of time and several possibly
settled out of court. Judge Roeser

expected for the Cold Spring dam

Of homecoming men of the victorious

Aetween lines of harbor craft with
the flags of America and the Allies
flying and with whistles shrieking a
welcome. Battery Park and piers
on the Manhattan and New Jersey

Nauretania moved to her pier.
At the same time, without cheers
or an official welcome of any sort,
1000, wounded soldiers were being
moved ashore from the troopship

were hurried to hospitals in Hoboken,
