Commercial Club
Holds Meeting
Officers Elected and Business Well
Started for New Years Work;
Rooms Ready Soon

The annual meeting of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club was held
at the armory last Tuesday night
with the attendance so large that it
was necessary to transfer the meet
ing from the club rooms to the drill
room of the armory. President Frank
Lobdell presided.
The annual reports of the secre-
tary and the president showed the
club to be in very excellent condi-
tion and to have accomplished con-
siderable good for the city. The pres
ent membership is 1872 and the amount
on hand is $1,150. This sum is avail
able for the purchase of the furnish
ings for the new club rooms which
will be ready for occupancy with a
few months, and to carry on the 9th
er projects which the club may deem
advisable. This shows that the club
is in a splendid condition and should
accomplish much during the coming
year.
The only change made in the corps
of officers of the club at the election
which was held following the reports,
was in the electing of j. F. Conner
W SuCC0eu VI. "a. OCHlluhHeCllC WIN
has removed to Minneapolis. The 9th
er officers are the same as last year
and include F. R. Lobdell, president,
A. J. White, secretary, M. Lauter-
bach, vice-president, and H. M. Aune,
treasurer. The board of directors is
composed of H. A. Baldwin, F. G.
Hubbard, H. F. Buechner, G. E. Nc
Kay and C. A. Lauterbach.
The secretary reports that there
are still several who have not paid
their 1917 dues and their attention
to this matter will be much appre-
ciated by the officers who make up
the committee on collections. Several
have already paid their 1918 dues but
not enough to offset the delinquency
caused by the tardiness on the part
of some of the members.
That the officers have been efficient
and faithful is shown both by their
reelection to the Offices and by the
good condition of the club. The mem
bers are exceedingly anxious to get
into their new quarters which are to
be fitted up in the most modern style.

F. L. French Appointed

At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Redwood County Farm
Bureau held last week at the court
hourse, F. L. French was appointed
as County Agent for Redwood Coun-
ty and will begin his work in that ca
pacity Immediately. Mr.. French has
been on the field for the past several
weeks, as representative of the fed
eral department in the work against
the spread of hog cholera. 1t is prob
able that this work against the chol-
era will engage Mr.. French's atten-
ton for some time to come. Mr..
French will continue to live in Red
wood Falls where he has maintained
his home since resigning as teacher
in the Agricultural Department of
the high school last fall. An office
and headquarters for the league will
also be established here. Mr.. French
is especially well fitted for work in
Redwood County because of his work
in the schools and among the farmers
of this vicinity for the past two years,
and his appointment is the source of
much qualification by those who have
the best interests of the Farm Bur-
eau at heart

Get Wood Ready
For Fuel Now
Fuel Administrator Advises Turning
Heatless Mondays into Fuel Gath
ering Days

Federal Fuel Administrator, Judge
j. F. MCGEE, has initiated campaign
to increase the use of wood as fuel.
Assisting him are the state forester's
office and the forestry department of
the state university. Serious as the
present fuel situation is, it may be-
come worse. By next winter, even
the householder may be without coal.
A supply of wood on hand will be
the means of preventing suffering.
Wood cut now will become dry and
in the best condition for burning
when needed. Householders are urged
to lay in supply at once. In small
towns where cordwood can be hauled
in by teams, it can be secured at a
lower price than in larger towns
where it must be shipped in by rail.
II is especially incumbent, therefore,
| upon those living in small towns to
plan upon woodpile for next sum-
mer and winter.
Where local fuel dealers are pre-
pared to obtain and supply wood to
consumers at a reasonable advance
over it's cost to them, they will be the
logical ones to supply it. Where they
can not do so, municipal woodyards
should be established, or a plan which
has been proven successful in Ten
nessee can be followed. Patriotic citi-
zens there have organized war fuel
companies in practically every coun-
ty. Each member of the company
| has subscribed a sum of money so
that 1,500 to $4,000 is available for
| the purchase of cordwood. 1t has been
found that with a definite established
cash market, the wood will come in.
These companies sell to the villagers
at cost or at profit not over six per
cent
The recent order of the fuel ad-
| ministration which closes many in
dustries on Monday of each week re-
leases large number of men on that
day. Many will doubtless wish to turn
an idle day into profitable one by
going out and cutting wood for their
own use. Some firms affected by the
order have offered to employees the
free use of their horses, wagons, and
auto trucks for hauling the wood to
town.
The essential thing is to get the
wood cut and ready for use. With
proper adjustments, it can be burned
in most furnaces and stoves; fire.
places can be utilized. or small, air
tight sheet iron wood stoves which
are very efficient can be procured
cheaply. Every one is urged to do
his patriotic "bit." The State For
ester, ST. Paul, can put wouid-be pur-
chasers in touch with producers.

Joe DAILY In France

A letter written Dec. oath, by Joe
DAILY to his parents here dated "Some-
where in France" arrived here last
Sunday. A card written in New York
at the time he left the U. S. A. was
held in New York until the boat ar
rived in France, when it was m--iled
and arrived here some time ago. Joe
is in the Signal Service and left the
United States before Thanksgiving, as
his letter states they enjoyed a good
Thanksgiving dinner aboard ship, and
that they had a pleasant trip across.
They were well protected by conveys
and sighted no submarines.
Joe says he is well and happy, and
says there is no need to worry over
his safety. France is much different
than the good old u. S. A., but he
cannot write regarding conditions
there on account of the censorship.
He would be glad to hear from his
friends here. His address is Co. c.,

Grocery Store Sold

The A. S. Kenney grocery store
was purchased last week by w. S.
Smith of Lynd who takes immediate
possession. The deal also included
the purchase by Mr.. Smith of the resi-
dence property in the south part of
town owned by Mr.. Kenney and which
Mr.. Smith will occupy as a residence.
Mr.. Kenney will now devote his en-
tire time to the interests of the large
farm just east of town which he owns
and on which he is now making his
home Mr.. Smith is known to sew
eral Of the residents of the Redwood
vicinity and is said to be a man of
considerable experience in both the
grocery and the general merchandise
lines. Mr.. Kenney has been very
popular as grocer and has been sue
cessful in the business which he has
conducted here for several years. The
popularity of his store speaks well
for the good business of his successor.

Red Cross Worker
Ready to Start
Mrs. A. B. Winter Completes Course
in Surgical Dressings And Will
Start Classes

Mrs. A. B. Winter has received from
the Red Cross headquarters at Min
neapolis the credentials as a trained
instructor in the making of surgical
dressings, bandages, etc., for the Red
Cross and is now ready to instruct
other women in this work which is
one of the crying needs of the Red
Cross on the battle front. Mrs. Winter
recently went to Minneapolis where
she took the necessary two weeks of
instruction at headquarters and re-
ceived, as an emblem of having COM
pleted the training in due form, the
official right to the Red Cross on the
cap and sleeve. This emblem shows
that Mrs. Winter is not only quail
fed to teach the work herself but she
is also qualified to select inspectors
from those to whom she gives the
work, so that they may in turn in
struct others, so that the work may
be carried on even though Mrs. Win
ter is absent. Mrs. Winter represents
the County Red Cross Chapter in this
work and will give instructions
throughout the county as requested
by the County Chairman, Mrs. Mar
garet Little. All inquiries concern
ing the starting of surgical dress
ing class should be addressed to Mrs
Little.
This work is more exacting as well
as more interesting in many features
than the branches of work already
taken up by the order. 1t must be
done under absolutely sanitary con-
ditions and with the greatest atten-
tion to detail. A room used for this
purpose exclusively must be secured
and kept in absolute cleanliness. Each
worker must wear white apron
which completely covers her gown
and with long sleeves closely but
toned at the wrist. She must also
equip herself with a square of mus
lin or orgafdy, 26 by % inches, fin
ished on all edges with an inch wide
hem. This is to be worn, cap fash
ion, over the hair during the work
hours. Each worker will also equip
herself with a pair of short scissors
and silver case knife to be used in
the folding. She will also pledge
herself to a certain number of hours
class instructed in the work Mrs.
w lHl0T Will SGl0CI IIo Inspectors VINO
can carry on the work during her
absence.
The making of bandages is not so
exacting and the work may be taken
home after the directions are once
thoroughly understood. This is ex-
ceHess sScrk for high school girl<, and
for elderly ladies who may find it
impossible to get out for work in the
regular classes.
From the base hospitals and else
where on the front come pitiful calls
for haste in this. making of dress
ings and pitiful stories are told Of
what happens when several hundred
men are wounded and these supplies,
SO necessary to the saving of their
lives, are not at hand. In some ca
ses the bandages from dead bodies
have been removed to put on the liv.
ing-all at terrible risk to the lives
of the latter. Any woman who knows
of the stern necessity for thousand
and thousands of these dressings be-
ing prepared at once, will not hesi-
tate to sacrifice many things in order
that she may take up the work in all
seriousness.

Redwood Women
Urged to Stop
All SIackerism

In a recent letter from A. D. Will
son, state food administrator, we are
told these facts:
There is not a home in this land
that is not affected by the war;
The war is truly business, big
business; it is not business for the
young man alone nor the middle aged
man, nor the old man. Neither is
it a business for the women alone
But it is, right now, a business for
each of US 110,000,000 Americans and
each one of US must work to make
that business successful. The wom-
ans part is to see that these wheat
less, meatless and porkless days are
observed in the home, church, lodge
and club;
We are asked to use more potatoes
in every way possible;
The time has come for US to really
observe these days. Let US prove to
our husbands, brothers, sons and
sweethearts, that we can do something
to help the men at the front win the
war;
We are told that food will win this
war. In order to have enough food
every woman must save, and save
as never before.
l am asking the women of Red
wood County to give up all super
fuous eating-between meal lunches,
when entertaining-serve at meal
time only.
My attention has been called to
the fact that in our own city of Red
wood Falls food made entirely of white
-four is still served at public suppers
on wheatless days. It gives one a
feeling of shame as well as of pity
for those responsible for this.
| am urging our women to be
broad minded brave enough to
sacrifice some of their comfort and
help in this common cause.
Keep ever before your mind S'Food
will win this war;" and do what the
food administration asks of You.

Camp Cody, New Mexcio
Dear Friend Jan. 25. 1918.
In spite of a repetition from my
letter of few weeks ago l want to
say something about the rumors which
are apparently buzzing loudly as ever
anent the poor health and training
conditions at this camp. Governor
Burnquist and his investigating par
ty have come, have seen and have
gone. 1t is to be hoped their report
will silence all false rumors and re-
store peace and quiet to the minds of
folks in Minnesota to whom these
rumors have brought no little worry.
Let me contribute this additional
balm, first as to health conditions.
1t. Col. Coffin, Division Surgeon. in
a recent report claims that civil COM
munities cannot show as low a NOR
tality rate as the army cantonments.
"At Camp Cody in six months there
have occurred 80 deaths, none of them
from preventable diseases. The death
rate for the six months has been 6.3
to 1000 men," Now this rate has
been for part of year and during
that part of the year of early train
ing to these soldiers, of change in
methods of living and unfavorable
weather conditions. Such conditions
have passed by, the severe test of
early training is over, and it is es-
timated that the death rate for the
entire year will be 2.8 men to the
1000. "The death gate in civil
community of the same size as that
of the 34th Division with persons of
the same age period, as estimated by
insurance associations is 8,424 to the
II 900. In other words, the soldiers
chances of living are from twice to
p three times as good as they are in
civil life"
AS to the sick rate, it is being low
cred. Cases of scarlet fever, small
pox, diptheria and typhoid are prac-
tically unknown. There have been
only two deaths in this division from
meningitis. What minor ailments have
been listed have not seriously inter-
fered with the work of training.
In this regiment, the 136th, up to
January 1st, there had been about
900 cases of tonsilitis, bed cases So
called, because sent to the base hos
pital for treatment. There are prac-
tically none now. Previous to the
