Farmers See Film
OF Stock Yards

Quite a number Of farmers attended
the lecture and moving picture show
of the South st. Paul stock yards, given
under auspices Of the Warren Farmers
shipping association at the high school
building Monday evening. Mr.. Z. w.
Brown, Of the Independent Commission
company, Of st. Paul, who gave the lee
ture, spoke Of the magnitude and rapid
growth Of the live stock industry and
urged farmers to raise more live stock.
It will take many years before the
countries in Europe will be able to pro-
5duce their own meat and fats, he said,
and It is necessary for the american
farmr to supply the demand. He
brought out a number Of reasons why
every farmer should patronize the CO.
operative shipping associations, the
chief one being that farmers are thus
assured Of receiving the largest returns
from their stock Minnesota leads all
other states in the number Of farmers
shipping associat lions at the present
time. About 20 per cent Of the cars
arriving at the South sc. Paul market
are shipped By cooperative associa-
lions.

The eleventh annual meeting of the
Red River Valley Conference of the

came to an suspicious close last Sun
DAY when services were held morning.
AFTERNOON and evening, large audiences

As the weather was ideal, the day be-
ing more like one of those rare days in
J une, not often met with in May, it
was decided to hold the forenoon meet
ing IN mans first temple, grove, in
this case the city park, instead of in
the church and North Star College
Chapel, as had been planned So many
people had motored in from the sur
rounding country and from adjoining
counties to attend the service, that the
church and chapel both would not have
held them. And what more beautiful
and fitting than a service in Gods own
outdoors, at the budding and blooming
spring time of the year, when all nature
Is clad in festal array. At this service
Revs. A. A. Larson and O. O. Gustafson
were the liturgists, and short sermons

STOP SPEEDING.

The city authorities ought to enforce
the speed ordinance better than has
been done in the past. Some day a de-
plorable accident will happen as the
result of fast driving within the city
limits, especially on the street from the
Swedish Lutheran church west Some
drivers turn corners in a very reckless
manner and drive at full speed on our
streets, thereby imperiling the Ii rs and
safety of pedestrians. These offenders
should be dealt with according to law.

Lieut.. H. r. Stanchfield IS Is CITY.

~
Lieut. H. r. Stanchfield and wife ar.
rived in the. city this morning from
Minneapolis. Lieut.. Stanchfield re.
turned recently from France but has
not yet obtained his discharge from the
army. He secured a Is day furlough to
visit his wife in Minneapolis and both
came, on here for a visit for few
days. s3
Lieut. Stanchfield left Warren Feb
%, 1918, with Harold Swanson, Leslie
Grange and number of other War
rem boys and arrived in France short.
~ before the armistice was signed. He
was stationed at Beaune, France, and
given the position of Registrar in SAM
tary Corps, Base Hospital No. 96, with
rank of second lieutenant. There were
five base hospitals in this center, with
a bed capacity for 10000 men. Lieut..
Stanchfeld saw considerable Of the
country over there, he being at one time
sent to Luxembourg with 1O5 men of
the 9Th Division who were returned to
duty. At another time he visited
Coblenz, Germany, then held by the
army of occupation. He says the
Americans have done wonders in
France. They have built docks and
constructed and equipped railways
that have fairly amazed the French
men. Our ponderous locomotives and
big box cars and fiat cars look like
giants in comparison to the pigmy
equipment of French railways.
Lieut.. Stanchfield landed in the u. s.
May 9Th, having made the return voy-
age in the Madowaska, formerly the
German ship, William the End, which
vessel then made it's 18th trip since it
was taken over by our government. He
says he has enjoyed his work in the
army, and values highly the experience
gained, but that now he is anxious to
return to the activities of civil life.
