Lasi Week to Register

C. A. Lauterbach, postmaster of
Redwood Falls and chairman Of the
committee for the registration of
aliens states that this is the last week
for such registration and that the time
positively ends at six o'clock Satllr-
day. Some little misunderstanding
seems to have arisen among the aliens
who have taken out their first natur-
alization papers and therefore think
it unnecessary to register. Ali sucn
aliens, other than those who have co-
tanned their second papers must reg
lister or are subject to the full penal
ty of the law. Those who have not
yet registered should at once obtain
the necessary blanks from Mr.. Lau-
terbach and see that they are filled
out properly before Saturday night.
The penalty for failure to do this is
a severe one and one to be most earn
estly avoided

No More Lunches

The Ladies Sewing Circle of the
Church of st. Catherine met last
Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. John Lauterbach and held an
important meeting. One of the most
commendable of the decisions that
the ladies come to was the patriotic
resolution not to serve any more
lunches at their afternoon meetings
until further notice, possibly not un-
til after the war is ended. The mem
bers of the Circle believe that Hoover
should be backed absolutely in his
plea for consistent conservation of
food and that the serving of unnec-
essary lunches is not consistent con-
serving.
officers for the coming year were
also elected at this meeting and are
President, Mrs. John Klaus; Vice
President, Mrs. John Porter; Secre-
tary-Treasurer, Mrs. VIM. jackson.

Chairman Dolliff Appoints Committee
to Carry on Work of Col
Letting Funds

Redwood County has not yet raised
her quota for the carrying on of the
work of the Y. M. C. A. at the battle
front and that that deficiency shall
Immediately be made good is the de-
termination of A. C. Dolliff who has
been made chairman of this work for
the county. G. w. Peck, secretary
of the State Y. M. C. A., addressed
large meeting at the armory last
Sunday evening and the address was
very educational to many who have
had only vague notion as to what
this work in wartime really meant.
Judge Dolliff has appointed the fol-
lowing committee to work with him
in handling the matter locally: Rud.
Stensvad, c. A. Luscher, Geo. Coun-
tryman, w. S. Brammer and A. d.
Stewart. These men are all ener-
getic business men who the cause
very much at heart and strong
campaign will be launched within the
next week or two A meeting of the
committee will be held tonight to
determine upon a decisive course of
action. More complete details of the
campaign will be available by the
next issue of the Gazette.
There should be no placing the
cause of the Red Triangle among less
important of the war causes now oc-
cupying our attention. The work of
this organization in war times in
cludes the moral, spiritual and ply
sical welfare of the soldiers, furnish
ing hi minnocent amusement and a
club home while he is well, giving
him the kindly hand and the "cup of
cold water" wen he is on is way to
the hospital after he is wounded, and
giving him the last word of hope and
faith and taking his last message to
the home folks when his next duty
calls him to go West" Wonderful
and Christ-like things are done by
these workers. They ask America to
help provide them with money with
which things are to be done. 1t is a
sligt request and one every Ameri-
can will hear.

Lid Clamped On

By an order issued by the Mime
sofa Public Safety Commission Tues
day it is forbidden to take liquor into
any territory made dry by county
option, local option or Indian treaty.
This puts the kibosh on the ship
ment of liquor into dry territory and
all sheriffs are instructed to confscate
any liquor found in violation of the
provisions of the order.
The war is fast doing away with
"Old Man Booze" and the return of
that gentleman depends largely upon
how the people like being without
their private supplies after the war
is over.-Bird Island Union.

During 1917 And Asks Further
Cooperation And Help

Chief Joe Corbet of the Redwood
Falls Fire Department gives the fol
lowing report Of the work of the De-
partment during the year 1917: the
number of fire calls answered were
three, as follows, February 10, Flow
ers residence, no damage done; 0c-
tober 10, automobile at F. Kline home,
no damage; November 25, the Okins

At the annual meeting held Jan
uary 16, 1918, the old officers were
all reelected and will continue in
service for the ensuing year. R. Ziemer
was appointed steward. The dance
committee reported the net receipts
of the dance to be $127.33. The treas
urer reported $500 on interest de-
posit with $1.21 on straight deposit
making a total of all three sums of
$203.54.
At the regular meeting held Jan
uary 81, the Chief was instructed to
purchase a lungmotor at the cost OF
$135. and a smoke helmet at the cost
of S73. Since the funds of the de.
partment would not cover the neces-
SdIy expenditure Tie UoyS Iooh up

Mr.. Corbett has received letters Of
instruction from the state department
charging him to keep a most rigie

c. B. Root Asks
County. Office
Resident of Morgan Township An
nounces Himself As Candidate
for County Auditor

C. B. Root of Morgan was in Red
wood Falls Monday and announced
that before the close of the present
week he will file as a candidate for
the Office of County Auditor of Red
wood County. For some little time
considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon Mr.. Root to do
this and his final decision is the source
of much satisfaction to those who
have urged the candidacy.
Although resident of Morgan and
Sherman Townships for the past for
ty-nine years-that being his entire
life-Mr. Root has never asked
county Office although he has served
in several important positions where
remuneration was noticeable by it's
absence. Notably among the impor-
tant positions he has filled was the
| place on the local exemption board
to which he was assigned at the time
certain changes of the board were
made by the state Safety Commis-
sion. With the board Mr.. Root worked
hard and effectively, and at great in
convenience to himself until the board
was called for its second terms work
which started several weeks ago.
Then, both as a matter of his own
convenience and of convenience to the
Board which found it detrimental to
its work to have one member non-
resident, Mr.. Root asked the Safety
Commission to accept his resignation
and his successor was appointed.
Mr.. Root is a business man of
great experience, having been a most
successful stockman of Morgan for
several years. He is vice-president
of the Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Morgan, one of the most reliable
financial institutions of the county.
He is also the chairman of the Nor
gan Board of Education. His expert
ence and education should certainly
be valuable assets to the Office which
he seeks.
i One of Mr.. Roots strongest recon-
mendations for election is nis unmiti-
gated loyalty to everything Ameri7
can and his constant effort to assist
his country in the effort she is put
ting forth against her enemies. This
alone should make Mr.. Root s1re of
the confidence of every voter in the
county and will go far toward assur-
ing his victory.

Just as word to bring laid and
comfort" to those who knit for SOL
diers under the direction Of the Red
Cross let me give statistical idea of
the disposition of such knitted handi-
work by the Red Cross organization
working here in Camp Cody. A GER
tain Mr.. Brown, from Minneapolis,
has been in charge of the Red Cross
work at Camp Cody and reports that
during his stay to date he has dis
tributed to the men-enlitsed men
only-18,000 sweaters, $4,000 pairs of
socks, 10000 pairs of wristlets, 5000
muffiers and $50 hemlets. The Red
Cross distributed to each man in the
division at Christmas time standard
gift and has large supply of articles
of wear in storage here to be given
out as needed. Mr.. Brown states in
his recent report that "tfe Red Cross
stands back of the army to assist in
every possible emergencT, but we is
sue nothing of regulation, such as the
army provides or should provide" In
the face of such a report we would
enjoy the spectacle and participation
therein of all chronic kickers against
the Red Cross in Redwood County,

in this division who have benefited
by the work of the Rel Cross.
Hand-Knit Best.
Last spring when the knitting craze
was swinging into it's own through
out the country, you and | have heard
it remarked that such handwriting
was foolish and altogether toe expen-
sive, and that the yarn thus used
should be made up in factories, and
that a lot of stuff knitted by anna
teurs could never be serviceable. There
were days when that note from a
trench-dwelling Tommy sent to lady
who had sent him pair of home
knit socks, had it's popular run and
approval. You know it, do you?
|Socks received, darned poor fit
One a helmet, one NIT.
Where in h-ll, did you learn to knit. y
Soldiers nowadays are keen fo1
these home made articles. The muff-
lers are probably the least worn, there
fore the most unuseful, not useless
of all the hand-needled articles. Uni
form regulations forbid wearing the
sleeveless Red Cross sweater over the
shirt, unless covered by blouse, but
nevertheless the sweaters are gener-
ally worn-under the shirt if the

"AIl Right" Says King

Jos. r. Keefe is in receipt Of let
ter from C. C.. King who is still at
Camp Cody-or was at the time the
letter was written-and certain por-
tions of Mr.. Kings letter should be
the parents who are greatly worried
over reports of congressman, COVER
nors and others who are grinding
political axes. Mr.. King states that
he has visited the boys in the hospi-
tai, found them well taken care of
and none of them complaining, finds
nothing to censure seriously about
the sanitary conditions of the camp
and comments on the excellence of
the water supply. Dust Storms Mr..
King admits, but as far as seriously
efecting the health of the boys they
are inconsequential. Mr.. King has
been in the camp for many weeks
now, and has had every opportunity
to learn of camp conditions--much
more of an opportunity than could
possibly be given any casual stroll
er through the camp-e especially when
the stroll is SO apparently taken for
the purpose Of making political capi-
tai. With his own son member of
Company L, Mr.. King would undoubt-
edly be keener that any outsider to
discern the real weaknesses of the
camp, and anyone knowing his fear
less characters knows that he would
tell exactly what he found. There
fore the worried parents may be as
sured that when Mr.. King says the
conditions are Good, GOOD they are.

Mrs. n. F. Dripps, chairman of the
local Committee on Conservation will
edit this column each week in the
interests of the conservation move
ment. All information in this column
will be absolutely authoritative, COM
ing either from the national or the

Selling of Flour.
Wholesalers and millers may sell
to any jobber, baker or retailer not
more than 70%o of the amount of
wheat flour purchased by that indi-
vidual for the same period of time
the last year. Wholesalers, millers
and jobbers in selling wheat -four to
retailers must sell at the same time
an equal number of pounds of flour
other than wheat, viz:
Corn meal, corn starch, corn
fouN hominy, corn grits, barley
flour, rice, rice flour, oat meal,
rolled oats, buckwheat flour, po-
tato flour, sweet potato flour, soda
bean flour. feterita fiours and
meals.
Graham or whole wheat flour must
not be sold as flour other than wheat.
1t may be sold only as follows: l
pound of graham or whole wheat flour
with cix, +oo+bc of a Mound of apy of
the substitute fours listed above.
Retailers may sell to consumers
only on the same basis; that is, with
every pound of white wheat -four, one
pound of some flour other than wheat
must be sold. All bakeries, hotels,
restaurants and eating houses are re-
uuired to mix 5Po substitutes other
than wheat with the wheat -four in
baking bread at the present and this
amount of coarse flour must be in
creased gradually until by February
oath, 209o substitutes must be used.
The plan provides, as you of course
know, for wheatless days Monday
and Wednesday, and for one wheat
less meal every day which We nave
designated as the evening meal.
Meat Increase.
There is likely to be in the next
few days and perhaps for some time
thereafter a temporary scarcity o1

ance of about a hundred men of the

J. F. Conner had been asked to give
a patriotic address and gave one of
the most scholarly and patriotic talks
given in Redwood Falls. Mr.. Conner
is an eloquent and forceful speaker
and his talk was full of inspiration
to the loyal and of expressions of
distrust and disgust for those who
are making the present war measures
secondary to any other private bust

ing to defeat their country's purpose.
DR.. T. E. Finn then talked briefly
on the work of the local exemption
board, F. R. Lobdell talked on the
