DAIRY CALF
SHOW DATED
October 22 and %; the Boys
And Girls Are Much
Interested

October % and 80 are the dates set
for the dairy calf show, and at that
time the dairy calves which have
been cared for by the boys and girls
in their club work will be displayed on
some central street of Mankato,
probably on Jackson street A big
sale of dairy cattle is planned to take
place October %, and will be held
at the fair grounds. The dates were
decided on and plans were made at
n joint meeting of committees from
the Guernsey and Holstein breeders
associations, held last Saturday. The
dairy calf show has aroused much in
terest throughout the county and
some fine calves will be on display
The consignment sale of dairy cattle
will be an important event. Over one
hundred head of high grade Guern-
seys are already listed for the sale.
1t is estimated that in all there will
be about two hundred head of dairy
cattle in the consignment, including
about ten purebreds OF each breed. II
is reported that there is an active
demand for dairy cows at this time.
Prospects are good for the first Blue
Earth county sale, and it is expected
That 1t will be a great success.
prominent dairy speakers will be
secured to appear on the program the
first day of the calf show. An effort
is being made to get Charles Hill of
Rosendale to judge the Guernseys and
to deliver an address. Among others
who are invited to give addresses are
W. F. Schilling of Mortified and W..
A. McKerrow of st. Paul.
The recent action of the govern
ment in taking sixty per cent of all
the butter in storage has greatly in
creased the interest in dairying and
me prospects are good for dairy men
this winter.

Mr.. and Mrs. Evan D. Price Of
Cambria, Mimi. were given a genuine
surprise party at their home on Fri
day afternoon, September 81, the oc-
casion being the twenty fifth an
lniversary of their wedding. They re-
ceived a great number of presents in
silverware. Music by Mrs. Evan
Hughes of Mankato, Rev. E. w.
Griffiths, Cambria Male quartette and
selections en- the graphophone were
the diversion of the afternoon Quite
a number of invitations were issued
in quiet way by their son and
daughter in law and nearly all re-
sponded. About seventy guests were
present from Mankato, Lake Crystal
land Cambria. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Price were born in Cambria town
ship and spent all their life in this
vicinity except for occasional trips to
California during the winter months
They were married at Mankato by
DIR. ]. G. Jones (Oak Hill, Ohio, at
Presently of Mankato on September
II, 1893. There are two children,
namely, Emery Price of Cambria and
Mrs. Mary Meyers, Long Beach Cal,
and two grand children. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Price are esteemed as
good tizens-neighborly neigh5ors
and faithful christians. Our sincerest
hopes are that they may be spared
for many years to continue in their
good deeds and radiate sunshine
through the community. At sea-
sonaD1e hour delicious luncheon was
served. A general good time was had by
all present. The following was read
by Rev Griffiths:
If with pleasure you are, viewing
Any work our friends are doing,
!; If you like them, if you love them,
tell them now; 9T
! Don't withhold your appreciation
Till the parson makes Grafton,
AS they lie with snowy lilies, DER their
brow, , nfE
For no matter how you shout it
They won't really care about it.
They won't know how many tear
drops you have she'd;
If you think some honor is due them
Now's the time to hand it to them,
For they cannot read their tomo-
stones when there dead.
More than fame and more than money
Is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval of
! friends
For it gives to life SAVIOR.
And 1t makes you stronger, Drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end
If they earn your honor bestow it..
If you like them let them know It;
Do not wait till life is over

RITES FOR ARCHBISHOP
IRELAND WERE HELD
Simplicity Marked the Funeral
OF the Eminent PreIate
Today
UNITED Press Dispa tch.l

+ st. Paul, October I'm accordance
with the express wishes Of the late
Archbishop John Ireland the greatest
simplicity marked his funeral serv-
ices which were held today. From
the plain, black broadcloth casket to
the simple tiled vault in Calvary Gem
etery there was no evidence of Law
ishness or pomp.
Appropriate white and purple
mourning decorations adorned the
cathedral where the services were
held and there were numerous Ameri-
can flags used in the decorations. But
three candles burned in the church.
Even the funeral sermon which was
preached by Archbishop Keene of Du-
buque was simple talk on the life
of the archbishop and was not given
as an GRAFTON.
Thousands of people crowded the
grounds about the cathedral long be-
fore the services opened at $3.50
o'clock. some having gathered there
as early as six o'clock this morning.
Early mass was in charge of Bishop
Thomas O'Gorman of Sioux Falls. S.
D., who was a near friend of the arch
bishop. Services at the cemetery
this afternoon were exceedingly sim
pie. Thousands of clergymen from
ell parts of the country gathered at
st. Paul for the funeral.

LINEN SHOWER GIVEN
f0RfRENCH HOSPITAL
AMERICAN RED CROSS BEHIND
THIS SPLENDID, IDEA
People of Mankato Are Asked
To Contribute Articles
During Week

The hospitals in France are calling
for help. They need towels, sheets
handkerchiefs and napkins. To buy
the enormous quantity wanted in the
open market Is physical impossi
bility at this time, for the reason that
there are no such quantities avail
able.
They need 100000 bath towels
about 19xSS inches; 100000 hand
towels, about 18x30 inches: 1,750,O0C
handkerchie about ,1Sx18 inches
100000 napkins, about 14x14 inches
132,500 bed sheets, about 64x102
inches.
They ask AIankato to give SO hand
kerchiefs, so sheets. II napkins, zoe
hand towels, los bath towels.
Things to remember: The articles
wanted should be new, or substanti
allv new, and should be of strong
rather than fine texture, as the laun
dering facilities abroad are poor and
this, together with the hard and con
slant usage to which the articles will
be subject, make it clear that we
would not be justified in using much
nCOoCo ohlPplhS OpdCC W oOhu ONCl
anything but strong and durable art
icles
Articles of very fine quality OF
those which have already been put tC
considerable use will last but a short
time and necessitate early replace
ment. SO wherever possible give new
articles without buying them.
Take thero to the Red Cross head
quarters. 127 Jackson street, any time
this week. September 80 to October 5
Mankato has heard many appeals
since the war started but none more
worthy than this end we know our
Mankato women will respond to this
latest call of the Red Cross with the
well known Mankato spirit.
1t is necessary that all articles
should be Numbered before being sent
to the Red Cross headquarters for
packing.
