 Receive Complaints.
 The local authorities are in receint of complaints from the residents liv- ing in the locality of Upson's corner to the effect that of late many of the young men of the town have been as- sembllng near the chapel and using, profane language in the presence of ladies and autOists. Constab ble John Hackett has been ordered to notify the group to keep away from the corner in the future. Failure to do so will result in their arrest.
 Correct Street Name.
 The fact that during the past sev- eral years there has been much dis cussion whether Hudson street is Nor ton road or Norton road is Hudson street has caused several of the local residents living on that street to seek official advice. The correct name for the street starting opposite the E. F. Honlss store, running directly west as far as Blue Hills, is Norton road This name was given this street by the off c1al surveyors who surveyed the town about seven years ago.

Peace Program
Is Great Work
RED CROSS SEES GREAT FUTURE
ONLY AS HEALTH Is PRO
TECTEDs AND IMPROVED

We are hearing and thinking a
great deal about the wonderful plans
that have been made to return our in
jured soldiers to civil life as self
respecting wage earners. Is it not
just as important to guard our child
rem, to correct the physical defect we
find during their school years since
they represent our next generation?
Interest in Public Health Nursing is
widespread throughout the country,
and many agencies, both Federal and
State, public and private, are engag-
ed in developing various branches of
this work. For the most part, these
efforts have been confined to the cities
and many of the small towns, villages
and country places, have only in a
comparatively few instances, secured
the advantages Of nursing service.
There is a lively awakened interest
in Public Health Nursing all over the
country. The war taught US how
great q shortage there was of nurses
in all branches of the profession, and
especially in Public Health Nursing.
And finally the influenza epidemic
brought to the public the realization
that they have no definite plan for
guarding health or caring for the
sick, and no organized public nursing
system.
The following figures tell moro tru-
~ than words how great is the need
of preventive work:
35 per cent Of our draft men failed
to pass the first military examination.
15 900 women die every year IN child
birth.
100000 American babies die every
year before they are IL months old.
The Red Cross has for these reasons,
decided that part of its Peace Pro-
gram is the legitimate opportunity to
supplement the work of agencies en-
gagged in the various phases In Public
Health Nursing, by bringing immedi-
ate assistance to rural communities
through its Chapters, until such a
time as governmental agencies can
more nearly take care of the situation.
An important fast in the success OF
this plan is the securing of sufficient
number of well prepared Public Health
Nurses to carry on the work.
The present supply of Public Health
Nurses in city and rural distritcs is far
from adequate. There are only about
7 900 nurses in the United States en-
gagged in Public Health work at the
present time.
The Red Cross through its Nation
al and Chapter Scholarships, to en-
rolled Red Cross Nurses, for courses
in postgraduate work in Public
Health Nursing, Is helping to meet this
real emergency IN helping to supply
nurses for communities. Bulletin.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

A large gathering of friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Al. d. Smith gave them
very pleasant surprise Friday after
noon. The occasion being their thiri-
eth wedding anniversary. Seventy
seven guests were present, neighbors,
friends and relatives of the worthy
couple A number of the company

spoken at the brides home in Red
wood Falls township thirty years ago.
DR.. J.H. Rhieldaffer spoke the words
that made them man and wife and the
friends of the bride assisted her with
the preparations for the wedding.
Miss Bertha Winn very prettily de-
corated the parlor and dining room
with golden rod. Miss VIM was to
i'll to attend the even friday, but she
sent beautiful bouquet which in
cluded the flowers which served in the
decorations so many years ago. John
Colville acted as POSTMASTER and Dave
McNaughton, Peter Mckay. Andrew
Stewart, Alex Dennistoun and Neil
Stewart each arose to recall the many
early Renaissance of the early years
of this welded life. Mr.. Smith re-
sponded to these remarks, his heart
was too full for words but he showed
the deep appreciation of the friend
ship and the happiness of having the
friends with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith have lived on the
same farm ever since their marriage,
so that the place has become in every
sense their home. The little two
roomed house where they began house
keeping has been replaced by a large
and spacious residence, with all the
modern improvements Of city home.
The first of next month they will re-
tire from active farm life. and move to
Redwood where they will be able to
take life easier. Their son, Donald,
will rent the farm. Eight children
have frightened their home, three of
which have been called to their
heavenly home. The five remaining
ones were with the parents to help
them celebrate their wedding. The
guests presented them with beautiful
parlor rug and after a word Of prayer
by Rev. Neil Setwart, the company
sang the Doxology. A delicious sup
per was served on the pretty lawn and
the friends departed wishing them
many happy returns of the day.

Redwood Falls Remains
of the County by Big Majority
Vim. Hanson Is
Victim of Quarrel
REDWOOD COUNTY RESIDENT
MAY DIE AS RESULT OF SUN
DAY ROW WITH C. SPRAY

VIM. Hanson of the Redwood Falls
vicinity IS now IN the Redwood Falls
hospital, badly injured, as the result
OF quarrel last Sunday morning with
Charlie Spray. a young man who has
been resident. OF this community for
the past several years. A preliminary
hearing OF the matter was made Mon
day afternoon in the municipal court
and the regular hearing will be held
three weeks from that date, as it is
thought that Hanson's condition will
be more certain at that time. At pres
ent it is very uncertain whether he
will recover or not. Spray is in the
county jail here.
Spray claims that he struck Han
son IN self defense after Hanson had
started the attack by throwing a pail
at him. The trouble arose over Han
son accusing Spray of stealing his
watch and stating that If the watch
was not returned within a certain time
the authorities would be put upon the
case. Hanson states that following
the argument he turned to the vel
to get pail of water and Spray then
attacked him with a single tree. Spray
admits that he struck the first blow but
that he did it only after Hanson hac
thrown the pail at him in an attempt
to injure him. Spray made his escape
after beating Hanson into a helpless
state and remained hidden in a DITCH
for several hours until finally discover
ed by Sheriff Kise.
Hanson's injuries are chiefly aboui
the head, his skull being fractured anc
his face badly bruised. His entire
body is bruised however, and bears
evidence to severe treatment by hii
assailant.

With one of the biggest votes cast
In the history of the county, Wabasso
is, according to the unofficial tabulation
of votes made from telephoned re-
ports at the close of the polls Tuesday
evening, about 800 votes short of the
required fifty-fve per cent necessary
for removal.
The official returns will undoubted-
ly make several changes In these fig
urcs but the margin is sufficiently wide
so that friends of Redwood Falls need
have no further anxiety. The coun-
ty seat will remain at Redwood Falls
by the unhampered choice of the voters
of the county approximately 30 per
cent of them wishing it to remain ex-
actly where it is.
The election brought some surprises
and undoubtedly some disappointments
as is the way of elections. The largest
vote ever polled in Redwood Falls was
polled at this election and only 20 of
the residents are found to be suf-
fering from that worst form of disloy-
alty-the disloyalty to their own home
and its best interests. Wabasso has
no dissenting voice among her citizens
and is to be congratulated upon having

Several villages and townships which
had been reported unfavorable to Red
wood Falls voted with strong MAORI
ties in favor of the present site of the
county seat. In no case was the vote
for Redwood Falls less than had been
estimated. showing that sentiment for
the present site had chystalized rapidly
within the last few weeks when the
voters became fully acquainted with
the facts of the election.
Redwood Falls and the many friends
of the city have nothing to regret now
that the campaign has closed, and
much to be proud Of Undre the lead
ership of Mr.. Knox the campaign was
conducted along the lines of absolute
cleanliness, based on substantial facts
and devoid Of unpleasant personalities.
The city found that the residents OF
other sections of the county were not
antagonistic to the citizens but were
willing to work in perfect unity with
them when the best interests of the
county required it. While the CAM
paign has been strenuous one it has
shown In many ways and conclusive
1y-that the majority Of the people OF
the county are fully awake to the best
interest OF their future and are not
to be shaken when their Judgment Is
assailed.

.PROPACANDISTS AGAIN BEFORE SENATE TELL
 OF MEXICAN PLANS
League of Free Nations Ass0cia-
 tiOn is Accused of Move ment.

Washington, Sept. l0.-Responsi- bility for the spreading of reports that determined efforts are being made to force the United States to intervene in Mexico were placed more definitely today on the League of Free Nations association by testi- mony before the senate foreign rela- tions subcommittee.
 Efforts of the subcommittee, which is Investigating the Mexican situa- tion to obtain from Dr. G. B. Winton and James c. McDonald, members of the league, the authority for charges on which the reports were based failed, although MT. Mcdonald suggested that L. J. Debekker, the author of most of them, might supply the information.
 Edward L. Doheny, head of the Mexican Petroleum company, was called before the committee late in the day and related the history of oil development in Mexico. He will con- tinue his testimony tomorrow. From Mcdonald the committee obtained the first definite informa- tion about the League of Free Ma tions association and it's subsidiary Organization, the Mexican committee. The association, MT. Mcdonald said, is an organization based on "prin- ciples that emphasize the necessity for some sort of a world organization to remove the causes of war and to build up closer and more friendly re- lations between nations" Its mem- bership, MT. Mcdonald said, now is about 1900, not including as many more who receive the articles it sends out. An indication of the money used to carry on the organiza- tion publicity was given in his ex- planation that the regular members paid $5 a piece and that others con- tributed varying amounts.
 Cross examination of MT. Me Donald developed that he knew very little regarding the statements made in the articles sent out by the asso- ciation's committee. He admitted that he was responsible for them but in most cases and especially in regard to an open letter directed by Presi- fdent Wilson urging the president "to enforce by deed" his many express sions of disinterested friendship in the Mexican people" he admitted he had no personal knowledge of the facts.
 The charge was made in the let ter that "a group of oil interests were the 'only people who have been actively engaged in shameless eff fort by publication of alleged atroci- ties and by the slander of the whole Mexican nation, to force an interven- tion.
