DAYS DESERTION
bad AS WEEKS
Soldier at Meade Sentenced
to Ten Years Hard
Labor for Offense
PNEUMONIA DEATH
RATE is RISING

CAMP MEADE, ADMIRAL. Nd, Oct. 8.
"A sentence Of 20 years at hard labor,
later reduced to 20 years, was imposed
upon Private Elias Clayton, Of the 37th
Company, Depot Brigade. for desertlon,
his absehce from camp being less than
a single day. He was caught at Coates
vile, Pa. a few hours after he shook
the dust Of Meade from his heels. The
charge Of desertion was sustained be-
cause evidence was submitted at the
trial that proved Il was his intention
TO quit the service and not merely to
be absent without leave. This case
shows that the interval Of absence has
no bearing on the case OF an absent
soldier, everything depending upon the
intent.
Hoping for let up in the stu" quar-
antine by the end OF the week elab-
crate plans are being made for a cele-
bration Of Liberty Day next Saturday
and Foreign Legions' day next Sunday.
1t is certain that with the weather
propitious both days will be celebrat-
ed, even II 1t is found wise to con-
tinue the ban against visitors. Athletic
events have been prepared already and
speakers are being sought for tile open
air rallies. Two fine Open-air theatres
with perfectly constructed sounding
boards or shells are available for the
festivities.
Bert Cavalazzi. the Italian born in
Berlin, where his father was conduct
ing a circus, has had a favorable reply
to his invitation to Enrico CarusO, the
singer. CarusO will come to talk and
sing for the Italian soldiers. Ignace
Paderewski, the pianist, has promised
TO come TO speak TO the Polish sol
diers. The Foreign Legions are making
fine strides in their training. Men who
cannot speak English now have over
them nOn-cOmmissiOned officers and Of
flcers who can speak their language.
One Of the most popular amusements,
now that shows cannot be held in well

those Of Buffalo Bill, as in these shows

and the worst OF the horses and mules
are ridden by fearless riders. Sergeant
Clark parr, Corporal Jack Spencer, Ser
geant Charles Cushwa and Private Carl

Pneumonia Deaths Rise.
Deaths from pneumonia following in
fuenza were n. by far the largest yet
reported in a single day. This brings
the total up 10 POI. The encouraging
feature OF the situation is that the new
cases OF influenza were fewer than for
any day OF the past week-297. The
number Of cases developing into pneu-
mOnia is falling OF, too, the report for
the day being 255.

Good Program Given

The program given by the Wo-
mems Foreign Missionary Society of
the Methodist Church Sunday morn
ing was one of interes.. The War
Work Of the society in France on be-
half of the orphan children was the
trend of the program. Intere1Ling
readings, talks and songs relative to
the subject were given. The Mar
settles was beautifully sung by Mrs.
Grapp. A most interesting letter from
Miss Bolton, the superintendent of
the Home at Grenobles was read. The
pantomine of the poem, The Prayer
by Amelia Burr was beautifully re1-
dered. The reader was Miss Lila
Kline, and Constance Golden and four
little girls most effectively repre-
scented the scene on the battlefield
where the Lords Prayer is offered
before the wayside shrine. The con
secration service of the gifts Of sill
yer and gold and the money given
was very effectively conducted by
Mrs. A. E. King. A goodly number
of gifts Of gold and silver was re-
.ceived and the collection amounted
I'd $500 with one yearly pledge for
five years. Much credit is due Mrs.
H. M. Hitchcock, chairman OF the pro-
gram committee for the success of
the program. 80

|SChnnahI Praises
People Of Canada
SECRETARY OF STATE SPEAKS
1 AT CANADIAN DAY PROGRAM
AT ST. PAUL

The following gracious tribute to the
people Of Canada is taken from the
Canadian day speech of State Sec
rotary j. "A. Schmahl, who spoke. in
Governor Burnquist's stead az the st.
Paul Auditorium.
1t was fortunate for the people who
'are enjoying free governments that
Canada was one of the children of the
British Empire at the time that Prus-
sianism unsheathed it's sword to con-
quer the world, and place the world
under an autocratical form of gov
eminent.
The hundreds of thousands of young
men of our Lady of the Shows" who
have gone across the ocean to fight
for freedom and many of whom gave
their lives at Ypres and other points
along the western battle front, were
among the boldest and bravest and
1 best men that the world has ever pro-
duced.
am proud of our historic friend
France. Ever since our forefathers
struggled for freedom, France and
friends. | am proud, yes intensely
proud, of the fact that today, our old
time enemy, an enmity which is now
forgotten, is our friend in this great
struggle, and that the sons of Britt
a1ia, are responding to the call of the
mother country, from the dominions,
or from the islands, or from the Indi-
an soil are fighting side by side with
the gallant boys of America with the
sons of Belgium, with the sons of
Portugal, with those distinguished
| nf tho NF T%o11 Lo
famous by Garabaldi, with the soas
of Servia, and with the sons of all
countries who are uniting into one
homogeneous mass of people, that
will strike out forever from govern
lmen.s the horrid mass, the fright
full mass of Prussian autocracy and
will give to future generations of .l.Il
of the countries of the entire world,
of Germany, of Turkey, of Bulgaria,
of Russia, governments of the people
by the people and for the people.
| Proud indeed will future genera
lions point to the soldiers engaged in
this great struggle for freedom, but
more proudly will they point to the
soldiers of the British Empire, to The
soldiers of Belgium, and Of France,
for the great defense, which they
have made before Italy, before the
United States, and before Portugal
entered into the struggle.
1t is with cheers and with hurrahs
that we people of the United States
greet you on this fifty-first anaiver-
sary Of the formation of the Domin-
ion of Canada, and say to you that
Minnesota is as proud of it's neigh
) bors on the north, as it is of any one
of the sister states, that form this

Watch all Dogs

Stock and hogs in the north side
of town were bothered last week by
stray dog who had all the symptoms
of being mad. A cow belonging to
the De Groat family was bitten and
two hogs at the A. B. Winter farm
killed. Mr.. Winter succeeded in kill
ling the dog and DIR. Leonard, chief
of the city health department sent it's
head to the State Live Stock Board
for examination. DR.. Leonard has
received reports which confirm the be-
lief that the dog was the victim of
rabies, and consequently is urging the
people of the city and vicinity to
watch all stray dogs with great care.
A proclamation dated Monday, Ju-
ly p, has been posted by the city
health board in accordance with the
state ordinance, and this proclamation
states that all unmuzzled dogs may be
killed within period of thirty days
Of the issuance of this proclamation
Any citizen is permitted to kill a
dog, which he may consider men
ace, within that time. All dog own
ers should see that their dogs are
properly muzzled or keep them chain

W atch the Smut

In the survey of thirty or forty
fields of wheat throughout the coun-
ty, made during the past week by
Mr.. Mo1osmith of the u. S. Depart
ment and myself, it was found losses
through smut will mean an average
loss of ten or twelve per cent in the
fields visited. In some fields the
loss will amount to as much as thir-
ty or forty per cent. This loss is east
ly preventable by the formaldehyde
treatment which should have been
administered before the seed was put
into the ground. Losses which will
amount to from ten dollars to twenty
five dollars per acre might have been
prevented at a cost of two cents
per acre and little work.
While it is too late to do anything
this year all farmers should careful
ly examine the fields themselves so
they will realize the loss and treat the
seed next year.
In examining your field for smut
you will find that the shorter straw,
producing a dark bluish-green head
which is more spreading is the smut
head. This is close smut and can on
ly be noticed when you break open
the kernel. Not all short straw pro-
duce the smut head, but smut heads
are generally more easily detected
by looking for the shorter straws.

WORTH FOR TRAINING

Under the leadership of Field
Forbes, one of their number, forty
nine men left Redwood County Tues
day noon, bound for Camp Wadsworth

Redwood Falls audiences are always
delighted to hear, Senator Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls, J. R. Keefe
of Redwood Falls and Rev. A. A.
Schaller, Pastor of the St. Johns
Lutheran Church. Mr.. Schaller's adj
dress was one of the most patriotic
and inspiring addresses that has been
made to the draft boys and marked
his patriotism as 100 per cent. His
plea to he boys to remain clean and
true as well as loyal to the cause for
which they are fighting was especi-
ally well expressed. Besides the
talks the program included whist
Ing solo by Mrs. Palmer a vocal So

terbach, and the singing of America
and the Star Spangled Banner by the
audience.
Following the program the men
marched to !he Church of st. Gather
inc where dinner was served by the
ladies of the two churches. The din
ing room, which is ideal for the
serving to large number was teau-
colors and with garden flowers which
tifully decorated with the national

and about the room. An excellent
menu of two courses was served anc
an orchestra furnished music during
the meal. Following the dinner the
men were taken in cars to NORTH

Knusdon Makes Change

John Knudson, for many years the
manager of the local elevator for
Bingham Brothers, has resigned his
position there and after August will
be associated with the VIM. Smith
Land and Insurance Company. Mr..
Knudson's place at the elevator
be taken by VIM. Steele who has
done similar work with the Farmers
Grain and Fuel Company at Delhi
for many years. Mr.. Knudson has
been very successful in his work with
Bingham Brothers and the Company
accepted his resignation only after
he had convinced it that his health
would no longer permit him to carry
on the work. He was offered ether
work with the same company but pre-
ferred to remain in Redwood Falls
where he has his home established.
His new work will give him greater
opportunity to be out m the open air,
a change which his physical co1di-
ton demands. Mr.. Steele has accept
ed the new position here because it
will give him opportunity to be with
his family.

Change Is Made

H. w. Ward has resigned as food
administrator and W. G. Weldon will
do The work instead of Mr.. Ward,
taking up his new duties about the
first of August. Mr.. Ward has spent
unlimited time in doing the work
since he started it several months ago
and has done it very effectively. How
ever he was obliged to almost COM
pletely sacrifice his own business in
terest and his friends felt that in
justice to himself he should turn the
work over to some one else. Mr.. We'll
don is not especially busy with his du-
ties as Clerk of Court at this sea-
son of the year and thinks he will
find it possible to do the work with
the aid of a steographer whom the
County will supply. The work of the
Food Administrator has increased to
enormous proportions and makes
great de hands Jpn the time and abb
lily of the person appointed. 1t has
been very well done by Mr.. Ward
and will undoubtedly continue SO IN

Lieut.. Peterson
Dead From Wound
SON OF MR.. AND MRS. A. PET

LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY

On May 81, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Peterson of this city received tele
gram from Washington, advising
them that their son, Lieutenant
Andrew P. Peterson had been wound
ed in action in France and a week
later they received a cablegram
direct from their son to the same eff
feet.
Lieutenant Petersen's message to
his parents did not leave the impress
sion that his condition was at all SER
ious and neither did his letters which
they subsequently received. His
first letter was written from field
Red Cross hosital and dated May 81.
In this letter he stated that he had
been wounded by shot from mach
Inc gun on May "a at about 2 o'clock
FIN the morning. He said he felt fine
and seemed very optimistic about his
condition. His second letter was writ
ten June 5th from the American Red
Cross Military Hospital No. l near
Paris. In this he said he had been
moved twice, the Germans having
shelled the first hospital, he was re
moved to another. The German air
men bombed the second hospital, nee
essitating his removal again when
he was taken to the one where he is
supposed to have remained until his
death. However the information sc
far received does not give the place
of his death or any other particulars
In the last letter dated June 18th
he said nothing about his condition
From that time nothing was hearo
from him until July 18th when tel
egram was received from the Wal
Department announcing his death. This
sad event occurred July 9th.
He was the first Lamberton boy tx
enlist in the present great war, the
first to receive an officers commission

the afternoon and had reached the
Silo sign below the .lill When {. Buick
car approached them at a fast rate.
The car was driven by C. F. Warren
of 2505 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis.
AS the car came nearer Mrs. Engel-
meier turned out to give it plenty of
room but it seems the Buick skidded
in loose sand and became unmanage-
able. The result was that head on
collision occurred in which little Bud
Engelmeier was quite badly cut "a
bout the head and neck. The young
lad was thrown through the wind
shield and lodged on the front fen
der where he was also badly scalded
by the water from the broken radia-
tor. Miss Lamberton of Redwood
Falls, who saw the accident quickly
took the injured boy and his mother to
Redwood Falls hospital, where he was
given treatment. He was brought
home later in the evening and is now
doing nicely.
The other occupants of the car Mrs.
w. H. Castle and daughter, Helen, to-
gether with Mrs. Engelmeier were
fortunate enough to escape with but
a few scratches and bruises.
Mr.. Warren arranged to have both
cars fixed up at the Morton Garage
and did all he could to help get the
injured boy to the hospital.-Morton
