Allotment Late

The next garment allotment will
be late in reaching Chapters, as ma
tional headquarters have determined
not to send out allotments until ma
terials are on hand for making the
articles.
The American Red Cross has be-
come a very large manufacturing
corporation and the scope of it's work
is limited only by the shortage of
raw materials and the capacity of
factories in making them up.
The situation should be carefully
explained to workers, so that work
ing units may be kept intact and
ready to meet the next call. The
national organization and Division
Headquarters will lose no time in
sending out instructions for the fall
allotment as soon as circumstances
will permit Bulletin.

[amberton Boy
Is Badly Gassed
ARTHUR HAWKINS IN HOSPITAL
IN FRANCE; ONE OF THREE
BROTHERS IN SERVICE.

Word was received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Hawkins on Saturday
that their son Arthur, known to many
as Jess, had been wounded and gass-
ed while at the front in France. He
is in hospital and while he is suf-
fering from his wounds, the gas caus-
ed the most trouble Details are
lacking.
Arthur Hawkins is one of Lamber-
tons boys who deserves special men
ton.
He enlisted year ago last May
and was sent to Camp Cody, New
Mexico. Here he was not long in
naturally modest and retiring dispo-
sition, he did not even write his par
ents of the honors that were his, but
other Lamberton boys who were in
the same camp were quick to send
the word home. He had made re-
cord as a sniper and was made in
structor on the rifle range. So splen-
did was his record that he urged to
remain an instructor, but he spurned
the offer insisting that rather than
remain in the United States as paid
instructor he would go to France as a
private. Finally the controversy be-
tween the Captain who was to go
over seas and the one marked that
they drew cut on the Lamberton boy
and to his relief the over seas Cap
tain won.
He sailed six weeks ago, sniper,
one of two in his company and one
of eight in the battalion. Surely
Lamberton is justified in it's pride
in this splendid American type of
soldier.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hawkins have three
stars in their window, Ray enlisted
last Mar.h and was sent to Camp
Merit, New Jersey and sailed on
other transport U S. S South, Dako-
ia one of twenty five young men CHI \
sen by the captain as armed ug ,~d.
The Fourth OF july was celebrat-
ed in mid ocean four days out from
France. On that day submarine
was sighted. On another trip whale
10 feet in length was quickly dispos-
ed of. He left New York last Mon
day on his third trip across.
Guy the third son entered the SER
vice year ago this month. Going to
Camp Dodge, Iowa he was placed in
clerical work. From here he was
sent to Camp Pike, Arkansas as a
courier. He sailed in June.

George Scott
Announces Plans
WOOL SUPPLY REDUCED; PRO-
BLEM is To- PRODUCE MOST
NEEDED ARTICLES.

That the many millions of Red
Cross knitters may know the plans of
the Red Cross for future knitting,
George E. Scott, acting manager of
the American Red Cross, issued the
following statement which was re-
ceived at Northern Division headquar-
tiers: -- Z
"When the War Industries board,
some time ago, advised the Red Cross
that the future production of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced, we i'm
mediately commenced to purchase all
yarns suitable for our knitting. AS
a result we have today in stock or on
order 100000 pounds of yarn for
distribution to our Chapters. 1t is
hoped that we may obtain some adj
ditional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government uses. The expected
total, however, will be considerably
below the 100000 pounds used last
year.
"While the total of yarn we can Sc
cure is being determined, we are stu
dying how to use our supply to pro-
duce only garments which are most
essential When conclusion is
reached we will announce our full
program of knitting.
"In addition to this stock of yarn
the Red Cross has ready for distri-
button 100000 sweaters, $4,000
mufflers, $4,000 wristlets, 228,O00
helmets and 1,328,0O0 pairs of socks
"a total of 3.674,OO0 articles. We
are hopeful, therefore that these and
such additional garments as we shall
be able to make will enable us to
meet the more urgent requirements
of our men during the coming winter.
"In this connection it will be of
interest to the women who have been
knitting to know that from Septem-
ber1, 1917, to June Is, 1918, the Red
Cross distributed $4,000 knitted
garments to the army and navy of
the United States. During the same
period $4,000 knitted articles were
sent to the Red Cross commissioners
in France and Italy for distribution
to soldiers, sailors and civilians.
''At the request of the War Indus
tries board with which the Red Cross
works in close cooperation, we have
urged Chapters and individual work
ers not to buy wool in the open mar
ket but to secure their materials
through our department of supplies"

LAMBERTON BOY IN SERVICE
WOULD URGE OTHERS INTO
WAR SERVICE.

Indianapolis, Ind.
Redwood Draft Board.
Dear Sirs:-
Remembering that you asked us to
drop you word now and then take
this opportunity for doing so.
Our trip to Indiana was surely a
fine one, one might well call it a
treat and here l wish to thank you
very much for giving us Pullman
transportation, lots of the boys had to
ride in the regular coaches all the
way. Indiana is quite a state, the
climate is fine, although a trifle
warmer than in Minnesota, the land
| is not as good as that of Minnesota,
nor are the farm buildings as good;
but the city of Indianapolis cannot be
excelled for the fine residences.
have never seen so many fine houses,
most of them brick. They are all
large and give one the impression
that people are more prosperous here.
The business section though is not as
nice as Minneapolis, and the street
car service is very poor.
The army to me is fine, would
not change places with anyone. Our
food is good, better than | expected
to find, our quarters are clean, roomy
and modern in every way. The spi-
rit Of the boys is great, they are all
here for the same purpose; some from
our own state All the Minnesota
boys are in the same barracks.
The school is much like any other
and anyone that applies himself can
get it. If he doesn't to the Infantry
he goes.
But this is no different from 9th
er life; one must make a success of
anything he undertakes, either here
or at home.
One at home cannot realize the
magnitude of the governments un-
dertaking and how well things are
managed. Every thing works like a
clock, and every man has certain
things to do and certain times to do
them, and they must be done at the
specified time. This certainly will
make a young man a more success
full business man in latter life.
cannot understand how any young
able bodied man who isn't employed
in some useful war winning work,
can help going to the army. Every
man should be proud to have such a
splendid opportunity to help his gov
eminent, and not his government,
but that all the governments and
peoples of the world. It is probably
the only chance we will ever have
to perform such a great deed and it
seems to me that it is the duty of
US all, to help in our small way to
bring this world once more to last
ing peace and have a peace loving
people.
l wish every person in Redwood
County and the Union could feel the
spirit of this great work, and get
behind the government, do all we can
even though it is small, to make this
great project a success.
Best Wishes to You.
Elmer Conrad.

Gold and Gold
Ready For Sale
SPLENDID HOLSTEIN HERD DIS
PERSED AT BIG AUCTION AT
GOLD FARM.
SALE OCTOBER A.
COWS AND SIRES OF WONDER
Full RECORDS TO BE OFFER
ED TO PUBLIC.

Friday of lats week G. w. Gold
sent a car load of registered Hol-
stein cattle to the State Fair, where
they will be on exhibit all this week.
The Redwood Holstein Farm Compa-
ny is taking this method of doing part
of it's advertising preparatory to
its dispersal sale to be held at the
Gold farm Friday October A.
This sale will doubtless be of con-
siderable interest to the farming
community as it probably represents
the largest herd of purebred cattle
ever sold right here in Redwood
county. Herds of this character are
usually shipped to some prominent
sales center to be auctioned. The
Holstein Company feels that Mime
sofa has now become so largely in
terested in the Holstein cow and that
this herd has become so widely
known throughout the state that the
breeders will come to Redwood Falls
in sufficient numbers to warrant the
owners in holding the sale right on
the farm.
Big Demand.
The Company has had an excellent
demand for it's calves AMI yearlings
at around $500 each, and it would
seem as if some of our local farmers
could profitably purchase as few de-
sirable foundation animals and reap
the benefit of the work done on these
lines the past seven years by the
presend firm of Gold & Gold and the
old firm of Sears & Gold.
During the past few years the SEN
ior sire of the Gold herd has made
world wide reputation. One of his
| daughters Melanhurst America De-
kal as four year old made eight
worlds record in a year in seven days
she produced 34.O82 pounds of butter
in .365 days 1231.35 pounds from
26433 pounds of milk. In seven days
eight months after calving she made
1882 pounds butter-the present
worlds record.
There are twenty of daughters of
this herd sire to be sold at this Octo-
Der sale.
The Junior herd sire, King Colan-
tina Ohmsby by Bess, now showing
at the State Fair, is mighty fine,
type younvster. He is thirteen months
old and weighs 1855 pounds. He
comes from the largest family of
cows on record. His great dam,
raised in Minnesota weighs 1925
pounds and they all produce butter
accordingly. Eight of The young
sters dams in four generations have
made over 1000 pounds in one year.
This youngster will probably COM
mand a fine price at the sale.
Among the cows in the herd can be
found some splendid specimans of
the breed and from the best milk
ings strains of the breed. Twenty
seven of the milk cows have made
official records under state supervi-
sion and twenty-five young heifers
are from officially tested dams.
The sale will be held, rain or shine
as arrangements have been made for
a large tent and seats, to make the
crowd comfortable. Col. H. O. Fell
lier of Pennington assisted by Col.
D. L. Crimmins of Redwood Falls will
be the auctioneers.

New UInn Editor
Is Put In Jail
ALBERT STEINHAUSER ARREST
ED FOR REPRINTING PRO-
GERMAN ARTICLE.

Albert Steinhauser, editor and pub
Usher, of the New Uim Post, was ar
rested Thursday by United States
Deputy Marshal j. Buisson. He went
to St. Paul on the afternoon North
western passenger train and was ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Samuel Whaley that same
evening on a charge of having pub
lished words intended to bring the
form of government of the United
States into contempt, scorn, contume-
ly and disrepute.'
Three Counts.
There are three counts in the
charge, all based on an article of gen
eral news published in the New Ulm
Post July 5, last. The other two
charges are those of bringing the ar
my and navy, respectively, into scorr
and contempt.
Quoted From Foe Papers
Steinhauser is charged with pub
fishing the matter. 1t is not alleged
that he originated any of it, as the
news matter under fire is published
as quotations from various German
papers published on the other side Of
the water.
Here are some bits from the long
article in question:
"When the American speaks OF
Prussian despotism it is a bad joke
In no other country on earth is there
such despotism or as many regula.

and no German would put up with

Bond Fixed at $4,000.
Steinhauser pleaded not guilty. He
waived examination and bond was
fixed at $4,000.
He was unable to furnish the bail
and was remanded to the Ramsey
county Jail at ST. Paul.-Brown Coun-
ty Journal.
Steinhauser was released from Jail
Saturday. The $4,000 bond was fur
nished by Louis Betz, local banker;
julius Wachsmuth of Minneapolis and
Charles Weschke of St. Paul. He
appears before the federal district
court in Mankato. October %.

D. II. Evans Is
TownIey Man
CANDIDATE ON LABOR TICKET
is ALSO NON-PARTISAN
SAYS CHENEY.

It is evident that David H. Evans
prefers to appear in the coming cam
paign as "labor candidate" for gov
ernor, with the Endorsement by the
Nonpartisan league and the support
of A. C. Townley somewhat in the
background. The leagues support is
welcomed but is to be considered in
cidental.
The Townley organization, however
has a good right to claim Mr.. Evans
as it's own candidate, and will pro-
badly assert it's claim, having the
leagues prestige more at heart than
the welfare of any one candidate for
office. Mr.. Evans is on record as a
Nonpartisan speaker and an advo-
cate of C. A. Lindbergh's election
Though a business man, he has al
ways been radical in politics, and
though a democrat of long standing
he took the stump for Lindbergh on
one occasion last spring. In fact, he
was substituted for Lindbergh as a
speaker at league meeting May Is
near Garvin, in Lyon county.
That was the day that A. c. Town
ley sent hurry call to C. A. Lind
bergh to come to St. Paul, in order
to go with the delegation of league
leaders that waited on Governor
Burnquist to protest against inter
ference with league meetings. Mr.
Lindbergh and his associates did in
terview the governor, but were fore
ed to admit that they had no person
al experience to complain of, and
their charges fell pretty flat. But
that is another story.
Mr.. Lindbergh was scheduled to
speak at the Garvin meeting that
day. He was at Marshall, and when
the call came taking him away, Dav-
i'd H. Evans was hastily substituted
Tom Davis opened the meeting and
introduced Mr.. Evans, who made an
enthusiastic Lindbergh speech. He
defended the league candidate against
the charge of disloyalty, claiming
that the "kept press" had misrepre-
sented things, and praising Lind
bergh as high type of man, the
kind of man the voters should elect
as governor.
Mr.. Evans appeared before anoth-
er league audience on his own farm
near Tracy. July 10. This was the
time that the Redwood county auth
critics prohibited a league meeting
to have taken place near Lucan. The
league men sent word to Mr.. Evans
in Tracy, and he granted the use of
his farm over the line in Lyon coun-
ty for the meeting. He drove out to
the meeting and called it to order,
making some remarks about the
freedom of assemblage" and intro
ducing John M. Baer, the North Oak
ota congressman, who was the main
speaker.
These two public occurrences iden-
titled Mr.. Evans pretty closely with
the Townley league. It looks very
much as if the league had sold the
labor conference something. 1t is
admitted that the suggestion of Mr..
Evans came from the Townley COM
mittee of seven. The labor commit
tee did not know of Mr.. Evans, but
accepted him on the recommendation
of the Townleyites, and after a per-
sonal interview. Charles Cheney in
