than he had known in civil practice
AS the report says, "only 10 per cent
of true pneumonia cases have died.
This is balanced against mortality
of from 80 per cent to 70 per cent IN
civil life.''
There is no question but that in
some cases, men are not handled prop
erly. the same as in civil life doctors
make errors in judgment. Not ex-
cusing such instances there is also
a reason for an occasional slip-up on
the doctors part. There are lot of
takers in the army who have discov-
cred many new ailments existing IN
their anatomies not prior to, but SIM
ultaneous with the date of muster-in
to the Federal service-and now, don't
lump at conclusions-for not all these
cases by any means are found among
the drafted men. Volunteers also get
tired of the army. 1t is the men who
fake sickness and fake cases fit for
discharge who make it mighty hard
for the really sick man to get square
deal. Take the case of man IN this
regiment who was bent over and un-
able to straighten up and keep on the
job. His captain and the regimental
doctors observed the man for about
ten days and the case looked gen.
uine. They took him down to board
of doctors who examine cases up for
discharge, and these doctors are ex-
perts and specialists. In about five
minutes this man Strengthened up and
is now performing his duties as a
we'll man should. Nor was he put
through a "Third Degree" to have
his taking discovered. have stood
by and watched men appear at sick
call and at more leisure hours before
the regimental doctors, and have heard
these men complain of big list OF
ailments and have seen them point
out on their bodies any number of
bruises or welts and whine over their
suffering-men who are too eager IN
their effort to get a doctors certifi-
cate of disability-and | confess l
don't blame the doctors at times for
getting "hard-boiled."
In the second place there is much
complaint as to the selection of this
spot for camp. l do not profess to
know the ins and outs of all the con-
troversy over this selection. But there
are mighty good reasons for this
choice. First of course is the water
supply. In the second place, last
summer troops were camped here,
and here was a base hospital, as
understand, used by Pershing's expe-
dition which entered Mexico at Col
umbus only 35 miles south. Health
conditions are generally good. This
is great region for lung-cases, judg-
ing from the number of sanitariums
and from the number of victims that
constantly arrive. There are no sa-
looms here. AS to the dust, northern
papers have certainly published ac-
counts of the long drouth the south
west has suffered the past year. Old
inhabitants, reliable informants, state
this to be the worst drouth in sixteen
years; that in normal years frequent
rains keep down the dust. Taken all
in all. it seems the war department
made a wise choice. Other camps
suffer from the cold and from con-
slant rains Our training goes on
without interruption. We would much
rather be down here than in north
ern camps as Camp Dodge.
Facts as these are alright. as facts
and should have much weight. There
is another viewpoint or peraps a con-
clusion from the facts which is just

CREAM THIEVES ON DAIRY
FARMS.

"Have you a cream thief on your
farm?" is pertinent question at the
head of a circular being sent out by
w. A. McKerrow of the, agricultural
extension division of the University
Of Minnesota
In answer to the question, Mr.. Nc
Kerrow says that A farmers in 8
cow-testing associations in Minneso-
ia DO have cream thieves, or separa-
tors that waste butterfat. Out of ITO
separators tested it was found that
in 5 was stealing from its owner.
To prove up on your separator, 1t
is suggested that you take sample
of your skim-milk from the spout
and have it tested at your creamery
or at the college of agriculture. There
is no possible excuse for cream sep
arator losses.

LEAGUE MEETS
Continued from first page.l

Second. The Non-Partisan League
has been proven and adjudged dis
loyal by the patriotic people of the
condemn and censure all efforts to
promulgate it's disturbing and disloy-
al ideas, and call upon it's loyal mem
bers to purge itself of its disloyal
leaders.
Third 1t is our firm and stead
fast purpose to defeat the efforts
made to hold disloyal meetings within
the bounds of Redwood County. But
we favor all loyal farmers organiza-
tions and encourage the organization
of the same.
| Fourth. We congratulate ourselves
on the fact that the main body of our
| German citizens are thoroughly loyal
and patriotic.
Fifth. 1t is our sincere purpose TO
foster the high ideas of democracy
and to preserve friendly and cordial
relations with our loyal fellow citi-
zens of every class. Those of Ger
man origin belong to US and not the
kaiser or Prussian autocracy. with
malice towards none, with charity to
ALL" we appeal to all our citizens to
be steadfast in their devotion to
American principles of government
and American ideals of citizenship.
Postmaster C. A. Lauterbach asked
the help of the League in taking a
census of aliens within the county,
such a census being a necessity be-
cause of the law that all aliens shall
register the first week in February
w. S. Brammer, president of the
league, appointed Mr.. Lauterbach as
chairman of a committee to do this
work and authorized him to select
two others to assist in the work.
Several members of the former
Sunnyside Club being present, vote
was taken, at the suggestion of G
V. Everett upon the motion that the
funds left as this deceased clubs es.
tate should be given to the Y. M. G
A. cause. The motion was carried
unanimously. The money left by the
club at the time of its death amounts
to about $500
The League adjourned until next
Monday afternoon at two-thirty
o'clock, the members deeming that
heat1ess Monday afternoons are vel
spent in discussing ways and means
of promoting the All for America
and America for All project.

A loyalty meeting was substituted
for a Nonpartison gathering sched-
uled for Belle Plaine last Saturday
night. Upon the orders of Sheriff
Charles Hoppe of Scott county the
audience sang "America" and cheered
the Stars and Stripes: The county
public safety commission and citi-
zens are determined that no Nonpar-
tisan gatherings will be tolerated in
the future. The commission adopted
a resolution forbidding disloyal meet
ings within the county, in which the
Nonpartisan league is specifically
mentioned. Statements of speakers
at a Nonpartisan meeting at Jordan,
near here. Monday, aroused indlgna-
ton and were brought to the notice
of the county public safety commits

ron exchanges:
This Akron soldier four times
wounded; twice gassed.
Twice overseasto fight the Germans,
first with the Canadians and then with
the American forces, four times
wounded and twice gassed is the re-
markabie war record of Harry Patton
of Broadway and Mill sts., former
Central League bah player, athletic
director and globe trotter. He was
invslidated home last July.
Patton enlisted with the Second,
October 2, 1915, and was wounded and
gassed in the battle of Ypres. He
was sent to the Australian hospital in
France and later to England.
In speaking OF his experience Pat
ton said ~ had no rememberances of
anything for months after being gass-
ed, but when ! finally came out of the
stupor in England, | was told that |
had been seven months in the hospi-
tai. Everything known to science
was done to me, but l still am subject
to severe hemorrages and ] have been
picked up on the streets and sent to
either the city or Peoples Hospitals
| for treatment.
"Although / was out Of the game
for time, we could follow the trend
of the fighting in the different sectors
by the happenings in the the hospi'
tails. When big drive was on we
would be shifted to some other base
and later would hear from the wound
ed just what had happened.
During our first big drive we en-
countered all kinds Of difficulties and
hardships in making attacks and one
of our greatest tasks was digging
horees, mules and men out of some OF
the crater like shell holes which seem
ed filled with quicksands and were
boggy with mire. Yon know we did
not have the tanks then and were new
at the game"
Patton returned to Canada, May ID
1917. and for time was in Reed Hos
pi.al, Washington, for Observation
At his own request he was transferred
to the American Expeditionary Navy
Forces and returned to the War zone
A shrapnel shot in the leg and a re
turn of the i'll effects of being gasset
caused him to be sent back to Amer
lea.

Washington's Whiskey Raid.

The whisky raid in Washington is a
timely object lesson on the operation
OF a Federal nation. wide prohibition
law.
Washington was surrounded by.
Gordon of Federal agents and police,
who searched every person and We
hicle entering the city. Searches Of
houses for stored whisky were made.
The agents and the police arrested
400 persons and confscated thousands
OF quarts Of whisky, proving conclus'
lively that there is no special virtue in
Federal law to overawe and restrain
bootleggers, smugglers aud their GUS
toners. They cerated under the
shadow OF the Capitol.
Multiply the Washington raid a
thousand times and we get a faint
picture of conditions throughout the
country under nationwide Federal
prohibition law, There will be cordons
around states and cordons around
cities, with activities in the way OF
personal and house searches that
stagger the imagination. We shall
have police bureau in Washington,
with agents scattered through the
states, that will match the bureau
cratic police system OF ex-Czar
Nicholas and ex-Emperor Wilhelm.
The imperial "verboten" OF Germany
will be little less obnoxious than our
own Federal prohibition. What Of
the political influence Of this army Of
Federal gents? What of the ex'
pense?
We have had experience OF the
operation OF Federal bureaucracy, or
panized for war purposes, and the diff
ficulty Of breaking its arbitrary power
in peace. Its persistent remnants in
terieripg with free business activitic'
will he powerfully supplemented BY
the bureaucracy organized to control
under forms of law, the personal con
duct of all American citizens.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Dec. 10th.--Sec'
retary Of Treasury, W. g. McAdoo,
to-day issued the following statement
In regard to Liberty Bonds:
"Hold your Liberty Bonds and War
Saving Certificates.
"Hold them first because they are
the best investment in the world,
backed by every resource In the
United States.
"Hold them because you have made
q sacrifice in order to buy them. Why
pass on to someone else con-
tract you have entered into with your
government
"Hold them because even though
the war may be over, 1t has not ye'
been paid for. The treasury Depart.
ment must soon issue more bonds

why add to the already large burden!
"Hold them because the time may
come when such an investment Will
prove to be true friend in time OF
need, a guarantee against the fear OF
death and insurance against real hard
ship.
"Hold them because the need for
saving is not over. Government ex-
penses are to day larger than at any
time during the war. Our boys IN
France and Germany must still be
paid and fed and clothed, and when
their work is over, transported home.
They have not quit-why should you?
"Hold your Liberty Bonds insteadtof
exchanging them for some otner So
called Security" Because you know
the security of your United States
bond and you cannot know the worth
of what is offered in exchange. The
"get- rich auickn crook is ready to
steal your bonds from You at the Hrst
opportunity.
Hold them because of the interest
they pay. Hold them because it is
good business to do 50. What good
will the idle pleasure and needless
luxuries bought to- day with the pro-
ceeds of your bonds be to you year
from now? Your bond works for
I you, drawing interest day and night,
week days and Sundays.

and develop on the Spirit tree. Thus
It was with the name-Bert Stevenson.
In the Roland Hill community and
to all people who knew him, his name

that God IL supreme In Heaven ana

will not be sounded so often ny lips
and tongue nut In the hearts OF mother,

Bert was born into the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. Stevenson on January
1st, 1897, and from that day till No.
vember 9th, 1918, at ten minutes to
eight, Bert had been the pride OF
mother and father. Many, many times
did mother and father sacrifice for Bert
that he might be happy, but in return
he obeyed that part OF the Bible, "hon-
or thy father and mother" His chair
is vacant, his form ls gone, no more
his voice in song, his steps sound, but
Heaven is rejoicing.
He married Ompha Howard, daueh-

were on that day, and until his death.
Bert possessed that Christian spirit
that made him loyal to Ompha and

little babe which was about two
months old at his death. May Ompha
in a sense see Bert through that
ayenue.that leads to Heaven, and live
