Enoch Hoglund, the son of August
w. Hoglund, was born Feb. 26, 1896
at Willmar. His mother died while
he was yet in tender age. After leav-
ing the public schools he entered the
employe Of the Great Northern and
worked in the Division Offices. When
war was declared April 6 of last year,
he was one of the first to volunteer,
and was instrumental in securing the
first contingent of 81 volunteers for
the army who left Willmar, April %,
1917. He was an exemplary young man,
beloved by all who knew him for his
good qualities. He is mourned by the
father, three brothers, Walter, Victor
and David, and two sisters, Marie and
Ida, and a large number of other re-
latives.
Peter Plinck, comrade of the de-
ceased, arrived from Ft. Monroe, Vir-
ginia, too late for the funeral Plinck
and Hoglund had been close friends
while working in the Great Northern
Offices, and both we're among the first
to volunteer and help secure volun
teers from Willmar. Plinck, however
was sent to the Canal Zone for train
ing. Just before Enoch left Fortress
Monroe on the furlough which ended
so disastrously, Plinck had arrived
there, and they had spent many hours
talking over their experiences before
Hoglund started for home. The form
er secured furlough to come to hit
friends funeral, but arrived too latt
| for the exercises.

.NoTHING 1s NOE. !

Rainey Day was nothing If not re
soutcefu1. Yet, at last He was facing
a combination Of circumstances that
made even his fffasterful brain pale
50 to sp SPEAK For he had a date to
take The most beautiful creature in
the world out to dine, and scent OF
tobacco was the only scent he had in
his pockets, and even that was very
faint. However, he managed to bor-
row a quarter from Gustie Knight.
When he met he at the usua!
place, a hungry expression on lier
cassie features, his face lighted up
as with a sudden idea.
'1'll tell you what" he cried. Lets
eat a messenger boys lunch you
kltow, buy hot doggie sandwiches from
a pushcart man, and eat them right on
tire street. Just for fun"
"Your ideas are always wonderful,
Rainey," she replied, "only just now
I'm in the humor to eat at some
fashionable restaurant with small
orchestra and large portions"
SO he took her to Swank's, and
while she tenderly perused the menu
he reached over to the next table and
distracted large plate of bread and
a pat of butter.
Really she said at length, I just
dent know what to order. Candicd
veal sounds good, and SO does stuffed
young gocby by marple sauce"
'Look!' he said. GIVE made some
East African relish balls with little
pellets of bread and butter and Wor-
cester sauce. Try one"
And she ate one, ren1arE!ng, How
nice-you're so clever, Rainey."
"The parcelled turkey here is good,
have another relish ball." he said.
':Or how about-another relish ball {.
how about some riff birds with lutte
dressing? Have another relish ball.
And he kept her undecided what to
order until she had eaten forty-seVen
bread pellets, and by that time she
wasn't hungry any more. So they got
ur and walked out, and he walked
her home and spent the rest OF the
eveninc- On her front steps, telling her
of his experiences en- the border. For
he was nothing if not resourceful.

VIOLATED GASLESS RIFLE
Crowd Releases Air From Tires Ana
Hoots ProIninenct Citizen.

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-bccausc ne
drove TO church in his automobile on
"easless Sunday" e. Wagcr-Smlth, OF
Marshall road near Wycombc avenue,
Lansdowne, faced a patriotic demon
stration by indignant citizens Of that
suburb yesterday in front OF st.
Johns Episcopal Church, Baltimore
and LansGownc avenues.
While Wager-Smith was in church
the crowd assembled around his big
automobile, which had been left stand
ing outside, let all the air out OF his
tires and attached a sign to the car,
reading: "Why don't you walk? The
air will do you good. You arc a
Stacker"
When Wagar-Smith came out OF
church the crowd was still standing
around his car. He was booted by the
crowd and grew angry. Mounting the
stem CT the car, he faced the lndlg-
nent citizens and called them "a
bunch Of skunks." He also said he
felt justified in using his car on Sun
day because he is a director OF the
Lansdowre branch Of the Red Cross
ard his wife is chairman of the wom-
on,s chantcr, working hard every day
for the cause.
The crowd remained silent, but re-
fused to move. watching the mans
vain efforts to get the car under way
with it's fiat tires. Chief Ct Police
William NJ. Munich happened along
and tried 70 assist Wager-Smith, amid
the grirs CT the crowd. Finally the
man had to telephone to his son to
brinr around another CT his cars to
haul the disabled machine home
MEANWHILE, Rev. Croswcll McBcc, rec
tor Of the church, came out and help,
