CH|NAMAN SETS PACE
AS VICTORY NOTE BUYER
Shows His Confidence by Invest
ing $4,000 in Loan at Lincoln
National Bank.

He was just an ordinary Chinaman;
his dress of the simplest and plainest
materials; he was wearing a little silk
cap, but he was bent on high and
honorable mission.
He was not a citizen of the United
States. and, what is more, never will
be; but he was possessed of large
acumen and was well acquainted with
the government of the nation.
Mods, Then Explains Mission.
This Washington laundryman en-
tered the Lincoln National Bank this
| morning, and after greeting Albert s.
Galley. the cashier. with the usual
morning nod, informed him that he
| wished to make an investment in vic
tory liberty loan notes.
Mr.. Galley was perfectly willing to
make another sale and brought up a
few hundred-dollar notes, asking
How much?"
From a carefully wrapped package
the Chinaman counted currency to the
amount Of $1,000 and pushed 1t over
to the cashier, taking in exchange
five $1,000 victory loan notes.
Cashier Gatley's Comment.
Commenting upon this purchase, Mr.
Galley said:
Il think the victory loan notes are
the best possible Investment that any
one can possibly make. free from all
normal tax. the highest rates of any
issue for fifty years and the best
probably for 100 years more. We
never expected such an opportunity
IF this Chinaman, who speaks but
| little English, can grasp this PROPOSE
| tion, it seems to me that 1t should not
go over the heads Of American citi-
zens"

The council, the chief governing
body Of the League, cannot take
action without unanimous decision OF
its members and since the United
States will have a representative in
the Council our interest will be pro-
tected there. We hear 1t said that the
League IS formed for the benefit OF
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nations This is not true. Abb the
nations will gain By it, not only the
great nations such as the United
States. Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed BY
their big neighbors. The international
court will give an opportunity for the
settlement Of old grievances which
have long troubled the peoples Of the
world.
It has been said that the League
will interfere with the Monroe Doc

pressly protects this Doctrine. In fact,
through the Covenant the Monroe Doc
trine receives recognition throughout
the world and its principles become

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPOT.

G.. K. Shorter has many interest
ing and some unconSciously amusing
things to say in the Sphere of his re-
cent visit to our shores. One of the
latter is perhaps his statement that
it is well within the range of posi-
bility that Charles Schwab will be the
next president, for sshe alone can rec
oncile the conflicting claims of capt.
tai and labor, which are sure to play
as great a part year hence as they
do today" Washington will laugh
gaily at his prediction that Chicago
will some day be the capital of the
nation. But Mr.. Shorter's impressions
of us are so fiattering that it is un-
gracious to say anything unkind of
them. He admits that he might fair
ly break out into rapture over Los
Angeles and the suburbs:
/ unhesitatingly proclaim Pasadena,
with it's groves of oranges and other
fruits, its cassia trees, its avenue Of
date palms, its abundance of flowers,
as the most beautiful spot / have ever
visited. I have seen what climate
can do to beautify in Spain and Tan
gier and in the Italian Riviera, but it
is all as nothing compared with south
ern California. | begin to realize the
point of the story of one who was sur

men in a cage. Asking St. Peter
what it meant, he was met with the
reply: aThese are Californians. If we

home" Shorter was properly in1-

REDWOOD ENTERTAINS
GUESTS LAST WEDNESDAY
CONTINUED from first pagel

Continued from first pagel
from the soldier boys had brought
their picnic baskets and lunched in
Ramsey State Park. To these guests
the citizens of Redwood Falls served
hot coffee and ice cream which were
greatly appreciated by the picnicers.
A hundred gallons of ice cream was
served and the amount of coffee re-
quired proved serious drain on the
old town pump. Thousands of peo-
pie visited Ramsey Park Wednesday
and to many of them who were MAX
ing their first visit to this wonderland
its many beauties gave great pleas
ure.
Judge Clague Talks.
Following the lunch hour Judge
Frank Clague made a very short adj
dress of welcome to the boys and their
friends. His remarks were tinctured
with a heartiness which showed clear
ly his great JOY at having all these
boys safely home again, and the brew
ity. of his remarks made it very evil
dent that he wanted them to spend
the day in enjoying each others COM
partnership rather than in listening
to any address.
See Good Ball Game.
After a short vaudeville program
from the platform the crowd adj
journed to the fair grounds where
the ball game between Fairfax and
Arlington was witnessed by about
three thousand persons. The game
was an interesting one, Arlington
carrying off the honors. The game
was followed by further performances
by the vaudeville company followed
by dance in the armory which was
largely attended. This closed the pro-
gram of full day and one full of
enjoyment to the crowds of young
people attending and even partici-
pated in with considerable amount
of enjoyment by their elders.
Men Are Good Fellows.
Redwood Falls has reason to be
proud of her business men both for
their executive ability in making such
a success of a program for which
just one week of time was spentrin
arranging and for their generosityjIin
providing so literally for their guests:
There were no charges made for any
part of the program and the amount
spent was contributed by the men of
the city who felt it a privilege to act
as hosts upon such a joyful occasion
as the first reunion of the American
Army men and their associates. The
day was a success from every view
point and to these men belong the
credit for everything but the delicious
dinners served at the armory and the
Masonic Temple which were quite be-
yond the accomplishment of any mere
man or group of men. The success
of the day was a splendid example of
what any town can do, even in short
time, if it has. the right team work,
and we will believe it absolutely pos
sible for Redwood Falls to put across
anything she puts her hand to fg9n
this time on.

VENT DISEASES SPREAD.

Ottawa is once again in the grip of
a smallpox scare Although only one
case of the disease has been discov-
cred in the city, this patient, Peter
Scannell of 1919 Phelps street, has
been suffering from the disease for
one week, and attending to his duties
as workman at the Federal Plate
glass works. He had come into con-
tact with hundreds of persons. He
was badly broken out, but did not
consider himself to be suffering from
anything Of contagious nature and
had not bothered to consult a physi,
clan.
Thursday evening he called physi,
clan, and was informed that he was
suffering from smallpox. DR.. w. H.
Pike was at once called in on the
case and the home was placed under
quarantine.
In addition to the workmen at the
Federal Plate being exposed many
school children have also come into
contact with a little girl who lives in
the same house the Scannell family
occupies and has been attending an
Ottawa school.
Vaccinations galore are being
made among the persons who are
known to have come into contact with
Mr. iScannell, and both the school chit
dren and the workmen at the Federal
Plate will be carefully watched to
avoid a smallpox epidemic.
DR.. Pike will notify the memn ers
of the state board of health. and it Is
likely they will send a man to Ottawa
Immediately to take charge of the sit
uation to Keep the disease from
spreading as the Federal Plate add
tion is outside of the city limits

the notice of the health authorities
before where persons suffering from
smallpox have mingled with many
other persons while broken out with
the disease and not a single other per.
son contracted the disease. 1t is
