the obligation which Raymond was
under. The Kerkhoven receipts were
little over 500. A large delegation
of Raymond people motored over and
helped boost the local company, which
surely shows that they were appre-
ciated.
The Third Liberty Loan Drive was
finished in hurry in our precinct,
and when the solicitors gathered in
the Office of c. w. Swenson at o'clock
Monday morning and compared notes
it was found that the allotment for
Raymond had been reached and pass
ed by almost 20 per cent $15,700 was
raised by Monday noon. Everybody
was solicited. Only one man refused
to take his allotment or any part of it.,
and he undoubtedly had good reason
While citizens should generally sub
scribe, we cannot expect 100, per cent
subscription, as sometimes conditions
are such that a man simply cannot.
The women's committee did good work
and helped the cause along. On the
whole we shall be proud to float the
honor flag. In the past two issues
Raymond did not seem. to be quite
awake to the situation. However the
sale of War Stamps has aroused the
people. We understand more war
savings stamps were sold at the local
post office than all the other post Of
fees in the county together, not count
ing Willmar. In the neighborhood Of
$1,000 were sold. This added to the
quick successful Liberty Loan drive,
surely puts our village on the map,
despite the fact that most of our pop
ulation is of German descent. About
$50 people bought bonds, which gives
us nearly 40 percent of the total

People President Wilson
TOLD PEOPLE OF PARIS

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE reception to
President Wilson at the City Hall
yesterday, yhile not attended by the
huge crowds which welcomed Pres
ident Wilson on aturday, was i'm
pressive. The president was re :
ceived by the bunicipal council at
the main entrance and walked
through the specious corridors,
which were tastefully decorated.
More than 5000 people were within
the building, for the most part wo-
men; the male element was in great
minority.
The women chered the President
in manner which, while not as lus-
tily as the President had been ac-
customed to hear on the college
campus, must have sounded sweet
in his ears, as he sfiled and bowed
repeatedly.
Adrian Mithouard, President Mu-
nicipal Council, read the address,
the President replying in loud clear
tones, in which there was tinge of
emotion.
After the official ceremonies, the
pracidapt incnootod tho ,,or;orn 40
partments in the city hall, ending
finally in small room where buf-
fet had been installed and refresh
ments were served Several officials
were present and many othere ihow-
ed eargerness to shake his hand.
Shortly the President left, return
ing to the Murat residence.

Arrangements Made for Various
Officials to Meet Prs. Wilson.


Paris, Dec. 177.-British Premier
Lloyd George and British Foreign
Secretary Balfour will arrive in Paris
next Saturday or Sunday.
The arrival of the various officials
to meet President Wilson has now
been arranged for. The Italian pre-
mier, Vitorio Orlando, and Foreign
Minister Sonnine, will reach here
Thursday, David Lloyd George and
A. j. Balfour will probably reach
Paris next Saturday. With Premier
Clemenceau, the presence of these
peace delegates will permit of dis
cussions between the four leading
powers, Great Britain, France the
United States and Italy.
The inter-allied conference prob
ably will assemble next Monday, but
the sessions will be brief, not exceed
ing two days.
The initial meeting of the inter-
allied conference probably will be
held in the French war Office and
will give President Wilson his first
opportunity to meet the delegates
around the conference table.
