- N. LOdoen, died at his home in this
,ty on Monday, Dec. 16, 1918, from
pneumonia following influenza, after
)only about weeks illness.
/ Einar was born in Warren Oct. II,
1897, hence lacked but day in being
81 years and months old when his
promising young life was cut off by the
grim destroyer, which is now spreading
sorrow and gloom in so many homes all
over the world. He was a manly young
man, of exemplary character, and was
thought very much Of by his friends
and associates among our young people.
He belonged to the Warren Home
Guard and took great deal of interest
!, in that organization. Since leaving
1X~Nol he has been employed in his
I'M be>r's blacksmith shop in this city,
aU4Ieywould eventually have become his
successor. He was member of Our
Savior's Lutheran church. "a
The young man is mourned by his
father, Mr.. A. N. Lodoen, and by the
following brothers and sisters: Flor
ence, now Mrs. L. Sundin, residing in
Canada; Nels, Of Grand Forks, N. D. :;
Gundy, Sigfrid, Della and Alice, all at
home, besides by many other relatives
and friends.
The funeral was held from the home
Ion Tuesday afternoon and was conduct
ed by Rev. A. T. Tollevs, of Warren.
Members of the Warren Home Guard
served as pail bearers. The floral trib-
utes were many and beautiful, attest
ing to the love and esteem in which the
young man was held by those who knew
him BEST
To the bereaved family this COM
munity extends it's most heartfelt SYM
pathy.

IN MEMORIAM


How little and imperfectly does the
above plain announcement express the
anguish and woe which this awful blow
has brought to the surviving husband
and children, yet through the tears and
out of the heartache, will come the
sweet memory of beautiful life,
which, though all too short, has left
behind it the aroma Of a beautiful char
acter, Of a life of service and devotion
to others, Of noble, womanhood. It
is not necessary to say that she was all
that wife and mother should be-, one
glimpse Of her daily life was proof all
sufficient Of that fact Though she had
been resident of Warren but short
time she had on many occasions shown
her nobleness of mind and heart. In
the home which she graced, now that
her mortal self is not there, it is in
deed desolation, but out of this too will
come the fond memories Of other days
to comfort and cheer those who now
sit in sadness and loneliness. TO her
husband she was ever loving COM
panion, counsellor and friend, and to
her children a gentle, yet firm guide,
along the pathway of rectitude and
honor.
Mrs Snyder was born in New Ulm,
MIMI, June 2, 1868. Her maiden name
was Lima V. Popp. She was married
to Chas r. Snyder on Jan. II, 1889.

and Mildred Snyder and Paul e. Sny-
der, at home, The latter, who has
been in a U. S. army training camp,
was unable to reach home in time for
the funeral.
The funeral was held from the home
on Monday, Dec. Is, at p. m. Rev.
Symons, Of Ada, where the family lived
many years before coming to Warren,
and Rev. Bartholow, of Warren, Off
ciated. The out of town relatives pres
ent were Mr.. and Mrs. F. J. Cooke, of
Roseau,, the latter being sister; and
Mrs. W. F. Heidrick, Of st. Paul, also
a sister. Out of town friends present
were: Mrs. Mike Palen, Crookston; Mr..
and Mrs. Dave Fulton, Ada; and Mr..
Jack Fulton, Euclid. After brief ser
vice all that was mortal Of Lima v.
Snyder was tenderly carried to the
tomb, and covered with beautiful flow
ers, so symbolic Of her life, was lower
ed to- the confines Of that narrow house
appointed for all living. The deepest
sympathy Of the community goes out
to the stricken husband and the
motherless children.
"But, though earth's fairest blossoms
die,
And all beneath the skies is vain,
There is a brighter age now nigh,
Beyond the reach of care and pain.''
''Then let the hope Of Joys to come
Dispel our cares and chase our fears
Since God is ours, we're travelling home

Ralph Powell Writes to- his Parents
MIR. and Mrs. w. F. Powell,
of this City.


Somewhere in France, Nov. 16, 1913.
Dear Father: sE*t-.,
Well, here am in a Y. NJ. G. A., the
first one have been in since landed
in France. Just finished IS hour
train ride thru France and I can tell
you that I enjoyed it even if we did
have to travel in box cars. We are
just a few miles from a large city.
This is rest camp. don't think we
will be here but few days; we may
be sent into the city for guard duty. I
hope so. We have struck home here,
are quartered in electric lighted bar
racks, with stoves in and good hunks
with mattresses and a place to wash
clothes and hang up clothes over your
bunk, and big mess halls. and hot water
shower baths, Y. NJ. g. A., athletic
fields, canteen, and an; interurban line
running to the city. The weather here
is about the same as it was: in South
Carolina a year ago.. A good many Of
thea,trees are green here yet, and of
course the: grass is green, I doubt if
they have had frost here yet. It is
certainly beautiful around here, the
country is quite flat, not near as 'hilly
as where we came from, and don't rain
so much. u =.
bet you are all glad that the war is
over and that we won. probably
won't get back for at least six months
yet tho. I wish I could tell you where
I am. I hope the censorship will be
lifted soon and then will write long
letter and tell you everything that has
happened since I left the states, I am
feeling fine. expect to leave here in a
few days, but don't expect to go very
far away. We paraded thru the streets
Of the city we were near, before we
came here, last Monday. The day the
armistice was signed the city had about
100000 population and the people were
lust wild with Joy and they threw flow
ers on us and shook our hands and
everything. Our band marched with
us. We were lined up in square
downtown. I haven't made a liberty
yet since I came over here. Was in a
liberty party to go on liberty in the
city we were camped near, and just as
we were showing off the Major stopped
us. Can you imagine our, disappoint-
ment? They said there was too much
work to do. 4..# ~ r..
7 haven't got any of your letters yet,
am getting anxious to hear from you.
| see the Spanish flu is pretty bad in
America. hope none of you have had
it out there. There isn't much Of it
here. We haven't man in our com
pany sick. They are having a movie
show here tonight. wish I could tell
you where I am I guess won't be
able to see Roy. The trains don't run
very fast over here and they arn't
modern like our trains The French
people feel pretty good over winning
the war. I told you last summer the
war would never last thru the winter.
Our government has done wonders
lover here. Well, can't write any more
this time. Be sure and write once a
week anyway. 4.

My dear Mrs. Carlson:
F We have received from Base Hospital

as they have just reached us, we are

right along and will write as soon as I
can. Send all the love you like. Ask
her to notify my sister in Minneapolis
and Mr.. Lew Edseth, at Halstad,
MIMI" -
It will be a comfortSto you to know
that everything possible is being done
by skilled physicians and devoted train
ed nurses to aid in his recovery.
We know your pride in this soldier,
who sustained his wounds in valiantly
fighting for, his country, will help you
bear the weeks of waiting for further
news. 49,. E</~
Very sincerely, IS

This will be the first anniversary
of your Memorial Day since Amer
lea entered actively in to the war.
And while you are gathering in
reverent and affectionate remem-
brance about the graves of your
fathers and brothers, who gave
their lives that your nation might
live, the mother hearts of many of
you, who have lately lost your
sons, are lowering above the bat
tlefelds Of France, each with its
silent but searching cry, where is
he? Over there. Do they know
where he lies? Or is he lost among
the innumerable multitudes who
have fallen in the war?
Mothers of America, l am charg-
ed with the duty of bringing that
last ear comfort to the mother
heart of telling you that we know
where your sons are laid, that their
graves shall never go unregarded,
and that when the war is over, and
the battlefields are being healed
with the sweet Oblivion of flowers,
we shall lay some of these in your
names, year by year, on the places
of their rest.

MEMORIAL DAY IN FRANCE

When you sent your sons across
the ocean to fight side by side with
ours against the kingdom of the
devil and hell, having no quarrel
of your own or theirs, no object put
to right the wronged, to defend the
weak, and to see to it that justice
and mercy should not be wiped out
of the world, you entered into
great sisterhood with the mothers
of France, whereby yours becomes
ours, and ours became yours. And
now that you are there, and we are
here, shall we not charge ourselves
with the care of the graves Of your
dear ones, since they are our
graves also, the graves of the
brothers of our sons?
If sons are what their mothers
make them we know what the
mothers of America must be by the
flower r America: manhood Nao
have already fallen n France. May
every American mother VINO has
lost a son in the war find comfort
in the thought that her loss is the
worlds gain; that It is the first
fruit of the seed her country has

stature, yet he stands as a giant
among men," The speaker empha-
sized that manhood is a quality of
the mind; an attitude Of the heart.
"a man must be pure" he declar-
ed, "and a man must be religious.
Il shall speak plainly" he said. "a
few years ago the Fourth of July
orators told us that America, in a
short time, could lick creation. But
we know now that the sending of
all the men we can send, still
leaves long hard work to be done
before we lick a small part of crea-
ton. Are you not alarmed over
the large percentage of men who
have been found physically unfit
for oversee service? Do you real
ize that this is largely the result
either directly or indirectly of i'm
pure lives? Oh, basest of all cow
ards is he who tempts another to
do wrong, who laughs at the man
who refuses to drink!
81 say a man to be a man in the
high sense of the word must be
religious. What do l mean by a
religious man? Not one of the
long faced individuals that all of
us know, who make themselves a
nuisance to everyone. I believe
with John Wesley, the great found
er Of Methodism, who said, Let
you heart be right with God, and
| care little what you believe We
must get away friends, from our
'isms.' We must make ourselves
ready to meet those boys from over
there and be worthy Of them when
they come home. Do you think
those men, living side by side with
all nations, fighting shoulder to
shoulder against a common foe,
will have any patience with our
UNCONVENTIONAL differences"
Mr.. Herson paid a tribute to the
mothers who send their sons
forth to battle for the right,
declaring theirs tn e harder
part in the conflict. He de-
scribed the French women, UNI
daunted, who send their husbands,
fathers, b OF h ers, sweethearts,
away with a smile. "a French
soldier" he said, "is permitted to
see no tears" He told of the Eng
lish mother who having given
three sons to the service wrote to
the fourth in America, Come over,
your country needs YOU as a chal-
lenge to American womanhood."

UNCONVENTIONAL
"ISMS" MUST GO
Preacher Declares in Sermon
to Junior Mechanics

"Watch We, stand fast in the
faith, quit you like men, be
strong" was the charge delivered
by the Rev. Frank Herson last
Sunday morning in a strong SER
mon addressed to members of the
Junior Order United American
Mechanics, who attended the ser
vice in body. Mr.. Herson in the
course Of his sermon, referred to
the insidious propaganda at work
to rob us Of our religion and our
nationalism, propaganda which
he has found even in Newark. He
urged his hearers to stand fast for
the religion, the civilization, the
liberty, which has been won for
us by the secrifice and the blood of
bygone generations.
Mr.. Herson related the story
which he said is often told on the
other side, Of Wellington, that Iron
Duke at Waterloo, who when vic
tory seemed certain for the
French, and it would seem the
morale of his men would be brok-
en-, went along the line and shout
ed Stand fast, men, stand fast"
"And they stood fast" Mr.. Herson
said, "and a memory of that day
and that deed is inspiring the men
of the British armies to stand fast
as they throw themselves today in
to the gap between civilization and
the Hun"
What is a man." the speaker
asked. The scientist tells us he is
the highest creature of the animal
kingdom. He eats, drinks, exercises
and rests. He has certain traits
which place him in the class with
animal life. This is true so far as
it goes, but it is not enough, how
ever. God created man in his own
image; he gave to him the power
Of loving; he placed a spark of the
divine in his breast. Therefore
manhood is not question of ply
steal prowess. The prize fighter
may have this and yet stoop to
deeds that give him no claim upon
manhood. Napoleon was small of
