Dear Editor and Subscribers:. y
Returned from Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, Thursday of last week, leav-
ingMonday at 10 p. m. and laying
over at Salt Lake City from $50 =.
m. till 4:20 p. m. I visited the fam
Gus Saltair beach and pavilion while
in Salt Lake, but As my time was linn
tied, was unable to take swim il
the salt water.
I came via the short line or the
Los Angeles and Salt Lake route
thru Nevada, crossing the famous ar
i'd and hot desert, and I was truly
grateful to be able to enjoy the re-
freshinx air At Salt Lake City.
While In Los Angeles visited at
Long Beach and San Pedro harbor
and was very much pleased and i'm
pressed by the sights that I saw in
the way Of wharf building and ship
construction, and many sailors in un-
form, besides huge war vessel,
which was painted up to resemble
nothing and Of course those in au-
thority are sure pastmasters At the
art. We saw this vessel At close
range, probably 500 feet, and were
not sure at that, that It was in real
ity a monster war ship.

Husking Wage Set

The State Council of Defense, act
on the advice of the Illinois Agri-
cultural Association, has set price
for corn husking. The price has been
set at six and seven cents per bushel
six cents where board is furnished
the husker and seven cents where the
husker boards himelf. This applies
to good corn, standing well and gen
orally free of weeds. In low yield
ing or weedy fields or where corn is
badly down, an increase is allowable
This price is in keeping with wages
generally. With the general good
conditions of the corn in this country
huskers will be able to make good
wages at these figures.
The County Council of Defense
are expected to see that these prices
are enforced. In some sections of the
County these prices are already in eff
feet. County Advisor l. F. Gillmor
states that Iowa has set a like fig
ure, and that the counties surround
ing Mercer are working on this basis
now.
1t certainly is anything but patrio-
tic for a man to expect to earn eight
or ten dollars day husking corn UNI
der first class conditions while the
fine sons of Mercer county are in the
'1khick of the fight in France at thirty
liars per month.-Illinois Press.

STATEMENT

AS Mayor of the City of Redwood
Falls / wish to state that l, with all
other right minded citizens, most en-
Iphatically disapprove of the painting
Of business houses and residences
which occurred here last week. That
the work was done BY a person or
persons utterly lacking any compre-
hension of what constitutes good CT
tizenship or other manly attributes
is the united opinion Of all thoughtful
people. Such deeds done under cover
of darkness and so covertly thai the
doer feels he is safe from discovery,
are indication that the person who
would stoop to such low suberfuge is
not only a poor citizen, but also a
coward and a fit resident of a COM
munity in which mob rule is sane
toned. There is no such sanction in
Redwood Falls, and both as an officer
of the City and as private citizen
l condemn the doing of this thing as
utterly unbecoming a city which has
done it's utmost to assist in the work
of winning the war.

Redwood County Election
Contains Many Surprises
County Repudiates NonPartssm by Electing Bunquist
Nelson Clague and Hilton; SchmahI Gets
Good Majority
L. Larson c. " Everett Reflected Gus Larson Defeats
A. D. McRae and l. Kise Wins Over F. Hassenstab
Praxel and Potter Face Possible Defeat by Stain and Rom
berg; Bendixen Beats Hines For Representative

With returns coming in slowly and
incompletely it was hard to tell at
noon Wednesday with anything re-
sembling defi.1iteness, what the re-
suit of the general election held Tues
day would be. However, reports
from St. Paul were sufficient to in
dictate that Governor Burnquist would
be elected by big majority and that
Knute Nelson would return to the
United State with a big vote back
of him. julius Schmahl, as Seere-
tary of State was outstripping his
opponent about three to one and j.
o. Preus and Henry Rines were both
safely reelected to succeed themselves
as State Auditor and Safe Treasurer.
That Frank Clague won a decided
victory over Ernest Michel as Judge
of the Ninth Judicial District is con-
coded definitely, and the Hilton will
win in this section over Tom Davis
is also evident. The contest between
Praxel and Stain for Representative
at Large and Potter and Romberg
for state senator were still doubtful
the contest being comparatively close
in Redwood County and reports from
DIoWH OouilIy very l-IcOHlpleCe. ne
ports received just before going to
press assures Mr.. PraxePs election.
G. M. Bendixen was elected to succeed
himself as representative from Red
wood by large majority.
For the county offices the contests
were very close in several cases and
the figures would be definitely learn
ed until the official returns are re-
ceived. However, present results
give L. P. Larson and C. V. Everett
their old position as auditor and
treasurer and elect Gus. Larson as
Register of Deeds and L. Kise as
Sheriff over A. D. McRae and F. Has
senstab respectively. The later two
contests were exceedingly close hut
very little doubt is felt that the re-
suit will be as given above. John
Whittet who was placed on the bal
lot by stickers against H. M. Aune
for County Commissioner was de-
feated and Mr.. Aune will continue
in office.
The vote as cast in the city is
partially given below.

Soldier Says
War Is Not Over
SHERWOOD LESLIE WOULD
HAVE ARMY SUPPLIED WITH
SMOKES AND RUM RATION

Sherwood Leslie son Of George
Leslie of Delhi, has been in the Can
adam army more than three years,
spending over two years in actual
service with the signal staff of the
Canadian Calvary. This young man
has won a medal for bravery as we'll
as to her recognition for good soldier
ing. His first battle was the battle
of the Somhme and he has been in
engagements since. His
estimate of values and situations may
therefore be taken as those of av-
erage soldier. Therefore the Gazette
reprints as of general interest the
following extracts from a letter writ
ten under the date of October 9.
British Army in the Mud, France
October 9, 1918.
"Dear Father
Yes, l receive the Minneapo-
lis paper and also the Gazette and
now and again the Drake News
There are three of us in this section
all from Minnesota-one from Benz
idji and one from New Ulm. Well
we all read the Tribune when it
comes and sure have some great
laughs. Say some of those newspa-
per correspondents must have an ell
astic imagination for some of the
stories of the war they print for Cos
pei are sure theories.
"To read one of these papers you
would naturally think that the war
is nearly over or that the Hun had
sustained some colossal defeat. And
the Canadian papers are just as bad.
Well, don't fall for that sort of stuff
because even with Bulgaria and Tur-
key out this old war could very cas-
lily go on for another year or more
"Say what kind of an organization
has the w. c. 7. U. turned out to be
or are they the same as the Canadi-
an sisters? Because if they are
surely feel sorry for them. Why,
they even wanted to stop cigarettes
coming to us and wanted to stop our
rum issue. Now l know that in civil
liam life rum is essential to no one but
here where it is issued only as med
icine and under the doctors orders
and supervision it is the only thing
that can keep the spirit up and af-
ford little comfort.
Imagine laying in shell hole or
trench full Of mud, raining hard
cold and wet and miserable under a
heavy bombardment for perhaps two
or three days and nights with no Gig
arettes or rum to ease and warm you
up inside l ask you can imagine it,.
I am afraid that when the boys go
home that some of these ministers
and so-called religious institutions
and societies are going to get a rude
awaking. No, we have our own re-
ligion and I don't know but I think
it beats the made to order kind as
spouted around by some of the virtu-
Gus ones.

ton Army are out here and are doing
excellent work. On more than one
OCCASION I have seen Y. M. C. A. can
teens right close up to the front, in
a dugout and have had more than
one sup of tea, coffee, cocoa, or soup

May Have Trouble
Says County Atty.
EVIDENCE AGAINST BOND
SLACKERS WILL BE SENT TO
NATURALIZATION DE-
MENT

County Attorney Emerson states
that the few Liberty Bond Slackers in
Redwood County-those men who re-
fused to take their bonds without
showing sufficient reason why they
should not are not yet through with
the matter. All the evidence present
ed by these men in their hearing be-
fore the County Executive Commit
tee will be sent by Mr.. Emerson to
the Naturalization Department at
Washington and, if it is found suffi-
cient proof of bad citizenship, the
citizenship papers of the men investi-
gated will be revoked.
Several suits have been started on
these grounds in the eastern courts
and the matter is now under atten-
ton of the Supreme Courts. The
charge is that these men, who are not
willing to back the government with
their money are not citizens of good
intent and have therefore obtained
their citizenship papers under fraud.
Should their papers be revoked they
would be classed as enemy aliens and
treated as much
Clerk of Court Weldon received no
tice last week from Washington that
no enemy aliens would be naturaliz-
ed and he therefore notified the sew
en- who were to appear today for their
last papers that they could not have
their requests granted. This is a SER
ious disappointment to several of
them who wished to prove their allie
glance to American, particularly at
this time.
