LOCAL BOARD COMMENDED =:
FOR ADMIRABLE RECORD
General Crowder in Personal Letter
Lauds Splendid Work of
Draft Board.

The excellence and care exhibited
by the local draft board in their al
lotted work, has prompted General
Crowder to express, in personal
message received Saturday morning,
his gratifying appreciation and that
of the nation as whole. He calls
special attention to the splendid re-
cord achieved by the local board, as
compared with those of other sec
lions OF the country and of the ma
ton at large. During the period from
March LIST to Sept LIST, of this year q
total OF 427 men have been indicted
into the military service, the testi
mony of the tireless efforts displayed
by the members of the draft board Of
this county. The Government, how
ever, has offered liberal compensa.
ton for these volunteered services,
the acceptance of which is optional
According to this ruling the services
rendered by the local board during
the period from March LIST to Sept. list
<would rightfully entitle it to a compen-
sation of $1281. This offer the board
has not accepted but has at all times
felt 1t their personal pleasure and
interest to carry on this work, un-
paid, and to assist to the utmost in
this strenuous wartime activities. A
number of extremely interesting facts
will dispell the slightest doubt as to
the creditable work realized by the
board since the assumption of those
duties which it was called upon to
perform. The reflections of indicted
men, sent to the various mobilization
camps in the country, shows an aver.
age of 5.83 percent for the entire
nation. The state of Minnesota, has
achieved the distinction of having one
of the smallest averages in the coun-
try, it amounting to but 317 percent
This is an enviable record and
source of pride and devotion for this
state OF ours. But, to make this com.
paritively small percent possible, Kan
diyohi County, presented an average,
considerably lower than that of the
state. This extremely low average,
in no small measure aided our state
in reducing it's per cent of rejected
men to that figure OF 3.17 per cent.
These facts are stable proof of the
concentrated and thotful efforts dis
played by the three members of the
draft board. Altho the registrations
in this county have been exceedingly
higher than those of other counties
in the state, nevertheless, the number
of reflections have been much lower,
a credit heartily due the board and
likewise as heartily given

finally lands safe in the hands of
the boys and girls over there. Here's
the way it goes:
If American children say NO to
the lollipop that they used to eat
every day, the man who makes the
lollipop out of sugar will tell the
man who sells the sugar that he
dOesn's need so much next time; the
man who sells the sugar will tell
the man who brings the sugar from
foreign countries in ships, that he
needn't bother to load up so much
sugar next trip; the man who brings
the sugar from foreign countries will
find that he doesn't need so many
ships, and then he'll say to Uncle
Sam, "Here's ship you DO need,
and I don't need"
And Uncle Sam will take that
ship, and fill it with wheat, and per-
haps some sugar, and one thing and
another, and send it over to Europe
WITH war ships, and destroyers, to
protect it, and the first thing you
know, sugar coated buns, made out
of American wheat, will be disap-
pearing into the mouths of little
French and Belgian refugees
All because YOU little Americans
said NONE TODAY" to the lollipops
and candy, and started white magic
that reached across the Atlantic
ocean!

LICHNOWSKY'S FAMOUS
DISCLOSURES MAILED
1900 Copies Showing Guilt of Ber-
lin in Throwing World Into
War to Be Distributed


Mr.. Russell spicer. the representa-.
i've OF the America First Association
IN kandiyohi County, has arranged
Tor 1000 copies of this document to be
nAlled tnroughout this county direct
from New York.
The one hundred thousand members
OF the America First Association and
many others throughout Minnesota
WILL receive within a few days COPIES
OF the famous Lichnowsky memoran.
dunn.
The guilt of Berlin in throwing the
entire world into war in 1914 is proved
in 1856 page book, printed In the orr.
g1nal German, as written by the
Prince, with English translation.
This famous document has caused
much internal strife in Germany.
where the original printed COPIES
were seized by the police in February
OF this year. However, it was later
printed in Sweden and the matter
given to the world.
It is the first time that the people
of Minnesota have had an opportunity
to get the real inside disclosures from
Prince Lchnowsky, who was German
Ambassador to England in 1912. Had
his advice been taken, Germany would
not today be fighting the world, in
stead, she might have had those who
are now pitted against her, England,
Russia, France and other powerful
nations, on her side, according to
Lichnowsky.
"The Lichnowsky memorandum will
doubtless attract increased attention
because it demonstrates the guilt of
Berlin, the truth of which is slowly
f1ltering through the minds of many
who had heretofore accepted the Ger
man legends" said Robert w. Har-
gad1ne, Secretary Of the America First
Association.

The news that troop train would
pass thru Willmar Friday evening at

stopped here for a short interval be.
fore going to Minneapolis, and the
East. The train consisted of seven
cars plump full Of laughing, talkative
fellows fresh from months OF muscle
making training at Camp Lewis WASH
Brown, tanned faces seemed to melt
into smiles and grins as they tried
their best to show their appreciation
for this royal welcome Of the home
folks. A trainload of three hundred,
representative of almost every state in
the West, and containing companies
or machine gunners, artillery men and
the sturdy boys of the infantry. One
car carried an entire company of in.
fantrymen, who solemnly declareds
their defiance and challenge to any
one in the crowd who would venture
to say that all the other branches of
the army service combined could in
any wise equal the infantry. The
boys seemed to recognize many
cousin, sister or long lost brother in
the audience and over did themselves
IN attempting to express their delight
in thus meeting their acQuaintances
again. They cheered and applauded
the canteen Committee for the pears
and post cards which they received
and one soldier jester, in an earnest
manner declared that to him, these
ladies were second mothers. Kaiser
Bill, as the boys called him, was ex-
tended floods Of invitations voicing
their sincere desire to come into closer
with him and meeting the Hun
chief, in person if possible. Song
after song, sung by strong ringing
voices, with two healthy lungs behind
them, expressed in music what they
had forgotten to say in words. Many
of these brOt amused laughs from the
audience and one of the soldier boys
wrote down the following favorite air,
It'll all end up with the right side up,
And the wrong side down below.
It'll all end up with the right side up,
And the wrong kind sleeping where
the daisies grow.
1t may take some time, to cross the
Rhine,
But one thing you must know,
It'll all end up with the right side up,
And the wrong side down below"

OVERHEAD BRIDGE
- CLAIMS VICTIM
Kerkhoven Resident Driving Road
ster Lands in Ditch Alongside
Track Bottom Side up.

90 The overhead bridge between OAR
win and Dassel claimed another VIC
tim Tuesday night. Fortunately there
were no fatal consequences.
A Kerkhoven resident was on his
way west during the rainy night. Ar
irving at the bridge car driven by
another approached the opposite end
of the bridge. The Kerkhoven resi-
dent turned out a bit too far and
drove down the bank. Due to the
steep incline the car turned over and
landed bottom side up in the ditch,
pinning the man underneath.
A freight train approached at this
time, the engine crew witnessing the
accident The train was stopped and
the man was extricated from his per-
ilous position, bruised but not seri-
ously hurt. The car, which missed
the rails by about a foot, was dam
aged but not beyond repair.-Litch
