DurOC Breeders
Form Association
MEN GATHER FROM ALL SEC
TI0NS OF STATE TO GET
POINTS ON HOG RAISING.

In spite of bad road conditions
which kept many of the local breeders
away, the meeting Of the Duroc Jer-
sey Breeders of the State held here
last Thursday and Friday was attend
ed by breeders representing all sec
tons OF the state and the mseting was
an unqualified success.
This was the first meeting Of this
kind to be held in Minnesota and the
organization of a state association
was the first work taken up at the
first session. M. Spicer of Minneapo-
lis was elected president, w. I. Cough
of Hazel Run vice-president and NJ.
Ames of Weaver, Secretary Treasur-
er. A movement was started to bring
the National Swine Breeders Associa-
ton TO Minneapolis in the fall of 1919
and it is hoped that the Association
may be able to accomplish This.
During the two days program in
teresting and helpful talks were given
by r. B. Evans of Chicago, James Nc
Kee of Versailles, KY, DR.. E. C. Cot
ton Of St. Paul, DR.. Fitch of Minnea-
polls and DIR. Knizley of Kansas City.
All these addresses were helpful and
instructive along the lines of lettering
the breed, the proper treatment of
hog disease setc.
The ladies of the Christian Church
served very excellent dinner to the
visitors in The dining room of the
church Thursday evening. Following
this a number of interesting short
talks were given.

Diverse Opinions
On SeuttIing Ships
ACTION OF FOE CREWS IN SCAPA
FLOW OCCASION MIRTH
AND ANGER.

London, June 22.-The full force of
what happened at Scapa Flow has fall
en- today upon the British public. Tie
people are divided over the incident
into two groups, those who possess q
sense of humor and those denied that
great gift of Gods.
The attitude of the former is exceed
ingly refreshing. One of this type of
mind well expressed the situation to
your correspondent when he said: "The
pity of it is that the Germans did not
do their scuttling before they surrend-
cred. What they have given Us is rath-
er q belated repentance in naval chiy-
arly. One, after all, must admire the
man in the cell condemned to viviscc-
ton, who neatly cheats the warders
and learned physicians by hanging
himself with his shoe laces. Besides,
after all, the Germans have put out of
the way decidedly embarrassing ques-
ton, namely the disposition Of the enc
my ships"
On the other hand, we have here in
the United Kingdom those who have
no eye-twinkle when they talk Of the
inciderf. These serious minds take the
dropping of the German navy into
Davy Jones locker as the GROWING
shame of the British admiralty. Then
they turn jleir wrath upon the Ger
mans for what they find expression IN
such phrases as "treachery,p "black-
guardism,' worthy of their inglori-
Gus career 'despicab1e fate" or
'.final dastardly deed"
Sitting at the center of the see-saW
of expressed and written opinion, one
must admit that the German navy has
finally proved its superiority to the
German army. After all, sailormen
get into the harbors of the world and
lost their insularity. These scutlers,
say and think what you like, have
proved themselves goodsportmen
They plucked up after they had
altogether lost, and have given the
world a good laugh.-M Minneapolis Tri-
bune.

Ny Dear Mrs. Wilson.
w. T. Noonan of the "Baudette
Region has just loaned me a copy Of
the Gazette. I feel that in order
to square myself in Redwood Falls
must do some explaining. | assure
you that in leaving Redwood Falls ]
was not retreating, rather it was the
beginning Of an offensive and to ap-
preciate the impor.aria of the often
|sive one really should have seen me
steaming over the hills in one of the
fastest forced marches in history. ]
admit the staff work or the alarm
clock or something went wrong. AT
least the liasion broke down between
the bus and myself. [ will confess
that I felt a good deal like the lost
battalion when that [ overcome the
battalion when found out the trans
portation was missing but it is enough
that / overcome the handicap and
since then have been attaining objec-
tives on schedule.
Just to show you that I have for
given you for calling my night maneu-
yer a retreat / am enclosing a check
for one years subscription to the Ga
zetfe.
This part of Minnesota has impress
ed me very favorably. They have on
ly started developing it and for that
reason it is drawing settlers here who
cannot afford to buy improved farms.
These settlers have come in here with
all sorts of enthusiasm, and the best
of it is they retain it. Everybody is
behind each movement for the deveI-
opment of roads, schools and in fact,
everything that is for progress. The
land business is booming and a great
many Iowa and Illinois men have
come in and bought. This is having
the same effect on land prices here
as i has had on Southern Minnesota
land, and undoubtedly in a few years
there will be no such thing as cheap
land in Minnesota I was very much
surprised to see that the crops were
so far advanced. | don't like to brag
but mus say that with the exception
of corn we can beat you people, and
with fodder corn don't think we would
need much of a handicap to break even
with you. But enough of all this.
You do not need to apologize for
the mean things you said about my pre-
cipitous departure for / admit one
could easily draw erroneous conclu-
sions.
Very sincerely,

Crop Conditions Bad

S. f. Peterson of Kintire was
at Redwood Falls Monday and his re-
port on crop conditions in his section
of Redwood County was anything but
optimistic. Eve won't get nearly half
a crop" was his reply to a query as to
the effect of the recent heavy rains
on the crops. Cultivation of corn has
been impossible even where cornfields
were not drowned out and small grains
have been practically ruined by having
the water lie upon the field. Even hay
would be practically negligible in va
lue, the excessive heat, coupled with
the moisture, having made it of little
value as a feed. Conditions are the
worst have ever seen them and have
lived here for the past thirty-two
years." Mr.. Peterson continued. "It
all goes to prove that our County has
been too slow with it's bitches and that
we must spend thousands of dollars
in drainage before we can hope 90 have
good crops in such wet seasons. Prac-
tlcally the. same opinion, although
slightly more hopeful was expressed
by O. D. Streeter living south of Red
wood Falls when in town Saturday.
Mr.. Streeter believed az that time that
it would be possible to get feed and
that hay would be a fair crop. But
this was before the heavy rain of Sum
day night which made conditions con-
siderablv worse. A talk with E. G.
Barenthin of Clements showed that
conditions in his section of the county
were also very bad. 1t seems to be the
unanimous opinion of these men as
well as of many of The other farm
owners in this vicinity that the county
should give its undivided attention to
proper drainage until conditions have
been so, bettered that a repetition of
road and crop conditions such as exist
at present would be impossible.

High w alter Mark

The Redwood river on Sunday
morning was the highest in history
Of Redwood county. The oldest set
Tiers who have lived here for many
years claim they never saw the river
as high as it was Sunday.
All crops on the bottom lands are
practically ruined. It is reported that
some farm houses clase to river had
one to two feet of water on first floor.
Stock in pastures along the river, that
was not removed Saturday, had only
their heads above water Sunday
morning.
Quite a number of people watched
Ed. Pearson rescue several head of
horses east of The Vesta bridge Sum
day morning. Ole Gerde and w. J.
Lang manned boat and managed to
get the horses headed for land about
a quarter mile away; some of them
were pretty weak when they reached
shore. Wagon boxes and every other
thing left near the river, that would
float, drifted away.

WAR for Revenge
PrOCIdimS NOSke
STATEMAN OF GERMANY AN
NOUNCES MERCILESS DOC
TRINE FOR FUTURE.

Gustav Noske, candidate for the
CHARACTERISTIC of Germany, regards a
war for revenge as inevitable. He
made this declaration In confidential
speech to German newspapermen at
Weimar last February, in outlining
his policy for Germany solely for the
guidance of military critics.
"The war is lost and the French
have taken sace-Loraine," Noske
said on that occasion. "The die is
cast. We must bend all efforts to be
ready for the next war of revenge.
It is inevitable.
1'The next time we will mt make
the mistake of invading Belgium. 1t
wilt be France alone, with 35,0O0,000
people. With Austria we will have
80,000,000. There will be nothing 20
it. We will be across France before
the world realizes it, because we must
build, and we will build, a military
machine that will put in the shade
anything we have done so far"
Noske concluded his talk by advo-
eating sweeping reforms in the school
system which would enable everybody
to play half day at least and grow
strong that he might make a good
soldier. He asked the newspapermen
not to publish his remarks, but to use
them for editorial guidance. Noske
evidently did not know that Americans
were present.
Noske is known as the "Iron Man
of Berlin" He started his political
Career on the first day of the revolu-
ton, when he played an important
role in the uprising at Kiel. At that
time he was considered an extreme
radical Later, when he was made
military governor of Germany, he won
the title of Bloodhound" among the
radical groups, who hate him bitterly.
In Berlin his residence, located near
the Tiergarten is surrounded with
barbed wire barricades and is more
closely guarded than any of the public
buildings.
The prospective chancellor is a man
of force, though not regarded as a
brilliant leader. His decisions are
made quickly and he shows little
mercy in dealing with opponents. He
is considered the greatest enemy of
Bolshevism in Germany. He is a
member of the Majority Socialist par

Murnmified Body
Found In Tree
STARTLING DISCOVERY MADE ON
FARM OF ED. GLEEK IN OF
TAWA TWP. LIE SUEUR CO.

The lie Sueur News tells about a
startling discovery made recently on
the farm of Mr.. Edward Gleek of OF
tawa township in the woods along the
river. In clearing a piece of land it
became necessary to cut down a gigan-
tic white oak tree, which broke in fal-
ling disclosing the fact that it was
hollow for a distance of about fifteen
feet, beginning several feet above the
ground and the cavity ending in large
opening concealed among the branches
of the lower side of the tree, which
leaned considerably. Within this ilol-
low was found by the Mortified chop
peTs the mummified body of a man.
not ut all decayed, but dried and shriv-
elisa oy the lapse Of time into some
thing riyalling the best Egyptian art.
A1r. Gleek, on being summoned by the
frightened laborers, recognized at once
IN the mummy the body of Jean La
Rue, former servant of Mr.. Gleek,
who had mysteriously disappeared
from the farm the 30.h day of August
1862.
On the day, which was during the
Sioux uprising, boat load of soldiers
on their way up the Minnesota river
from st. Paul to New Uln, foolishly
discharged their muskets many times
as they steamed up the river above
Henderson, carrying terror to the
hearts of people along the river WHO
were already about to flee from The
dreaded Indians. At lie Sueur one of
the bullets thus discharged wounded
a small boy, Cyrus McEwen, in the
leg.
Mr.. Gleek says that when Jean La
Rue heard the firing he seemed to
nearly lose his reason from fear
rushed into the house, seized his rifle
and some other belongings, including
about 500 in money, and fled into
the woods. He must have known of
this hollow tree, sought to hid there,
slipped down too far, and being un-
able to extricate himself, must have
persisted there where his body, pre-
served in the living oak, failed to de-
cay. His rifle, bullet pouch and pow
der horn were found by him and The
money, $783.50, was found in his
pocket
Also there was found the diary which
Mr.. Gleek says La Rue always faith
fully kept, and in it undated, but on
the page following the one dated Fri
day, August %, 1862, was written in
trembling words the following.
Can not get out; surely must die.
If ever found, send me and all my
money to my mother, Madam Suzanne
La Rue, near Taracon, in the province
of Bouches Du Phone, France"
Through the consul at Marseilles
Mr.. Gleek will endeavor to learn some
thing of the dead mans relatives, but
there is not much hope of doing SO
at this late date.-Brown County
Journal.

Storm of June IS
Does Damage
LAMBERTON STAR TELLS STORY
OF DAMAGE DONE TO RED
WOOD COUNTY BRIDGES

The first taste of the storm condi-
tions which come with summer came
to this section for this year Sunday
afternoon, in the form of cloudburss
that washed away nearly one hundred
feet of the embankment at Pelt creek.
on the National highway, three miles
west of Lamberton, and carried away
the highway bridge and the railroad
bridge at Plum creek just west of
Walnut Grove
The storm came on at about three
o'clock Sunday afternoon. In Lam
berton "bolt" was experienced that
reached everyone to the extent of a
healthy shudder, and trees in the yard
of Henry Hawkins proved to be the
mark In this instance. After. that there
was naught but a steady downpour of
rain, though to the west the pour
reached the proportions of cloud
burst, and it was not long until re-
ports came that Pelt creek was going
up; soon to be followed by adviceS
that the embankment had given way
to the mad waters-and that Plum
creek at Walnut Grove had gone on
rampage and was carrying every
thing before its path; that the east
bound passenger was west of the
gap" and that there could not be ev-
en- a transfer of passengers from one
side of the water to the other
In the meantime through train serv-
ice was accomplished on this line early
by making detour from Sanborn
around through Wabasso, to Marshall,
with accommodation specials made up
at Sanborn and at Marshall for the
run to Walnut Grove, and return. This
arrangement continued until Tuesday
night, when the railroad bridge was
put back into shape to carry it's loads.
Loss of life was but narrowly avert
ed when the Pelt creek embankment
gave way to the flood waters Her
bert ]. Jeckell, accompanied by Mrs.
Jeckell, and followed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Jackson in another car cross
ed the bridge from their place to look
over the condition of the roads after
The storm. They proceeded but a
short distance before they turned for
the trip home. Approaching the bridge
they found that the water had risen,
in this brief space of time, from more
than a foot below the enlbankment
roadway to better than foot over it's
top, the water coming above the hubs
of the car wheels. Through the cur
rent was strong and crossing danger
Gus, they nevertheless proceeded on
their way home. As they did so posts
and ratings began to go out and the
infirmness of the embankment was
clearly felt in the car Then immedi-
ately following them came another
ear, which had little more than cross
ed the weak point of the embankment
when the entire mass of earth swept
on with the waters, leaving a gap
nearly one hundred feet long and ten
feet deep, Mrs. Jeckell Immediately
notified The city authorities of the
flood and washout.
The low ground along the river to
the north, on the state highway, pre-
scented a spectacle that resembled a
lake more than fields of barley and
other grains. The bridge here, how
ever held, and the roads was passable
as soon as tho waters had lowered to
a sufficient extent to permit of travel.
