THE KANDIYOHI COUNTY
RED CROSS PARADE
A Grand Affair."


The greatest demonstration in the
line Of a parade that Kand1yohi county
has ever participated in was that OF the
Red Cross parade held at W1limar on
Cross drive which is being launched
this week.
The entire county was invited to take
part ana 1T 81 as IL tnHy
ed the streets. We are unable to give
daring guess as to the number VINO
witnessed the grand affair. The parade
beauty, sentiment and impression left
upon the ones who witnessed 1t cannot
be put in words. Neither will 1T ever De
forgotten, even to the youngest VINO
were there.
Willmar certainly left nothing un-
done to make the affair a success. and
the auxiliary branches of the lied Cross
| were we'll represented with appropriate
| and clever demonstrations, all except
Atwater, and we blush with shame when
| we confess that Atwater was least In
the great, affair Our splendid band was
there and gave some good music, four
Junior Red Cross girls and some school
boys marched and an auto truck formed
our parade: But not a banner nor any,
thing to show, that they even belonged
to Atwater. No demonstration of the
spirit and work of our Red Cross socie-
ty. Why did we come so Tar short OF
there in great numbers? Is it because
Atwater lacks in patriotism?, No, we
are true blue, 100 per cent loyal and
second to none in ability. Why then
was the name of Atwater off the map
of the greatest affair the county has
ever sketched? It is no fault of manage
ment in our local Red Cross, but rather
| the arrangement was given over to a
local institution, who fell down fiat in
any preparation, and here we are, of
the map. But we're going back, yes
clear to the top and when it is all over
and Kandiyohi County celebrates theil
part in the great victory, we'll not leave
it to me- but We'll see to it that we re-
there, if not with the kaiser's head, a.
least with one of his shoes.-Atwatel

FORMER LA SALLE CO..
TEACHER ELECTED
SUPT. OF PUTNAM co.

Miss Anna Holiday, a well known
former La Sale County teacher, who
for many years resided in Streator,
was elected county superintendent OF
schools of Putnam County by large
majority at the election of Nov. s..
THE man running against Miss Holi
day was one who had held the office
for many years, and the way in whicl
Miss Holiday carried the election
caused no mild surprise among many
Pumam County residents, who
thought it would be impossible for the
Republican candidate to win over her
Democratic opponent
Miss Holiday was one of the most
efficient La Sale County teachers, and
her many friends here feel confident
she will make good in her now posi-
ton.

Washington, November BY direction of
President Wilson, Secretary of State Lansing noti-
fed Dr. Solf German foreign secretary, that ev-
erything possible will be done to relieve famine
conditions in Germany. The Secretary told DR..
Solf that the President already has announced here
that the allied conference at Versailles had unan-
mousy agreed to take every possible step to afford
relief
Mr.. Lansing made it plain that while every
thing possible will be done for Germany it will be
conditional on public order being maintained and
an equitable distribution of the food made.
He pointed out that all of the idle German ton
mage is to be used in the work of getting the food
stuff to Germany.
Germany also was told that the relief work will
be along the systematic lines already so success
full in Belgium
Today's note by Secretary Lansing was sent in
reply the first note addressed to the President by
Dr. Solf in which he asked that the President use
his influence to secure modification Of the original
armistice conditions.

crown prince was shot and killed by German sem
tries while making second effort to escape into

fell victim of the deadly discipline which he HIM

deavoring to flee for his life.
