COUNTESS I 'T|OlBE 70 HERE
MIME. TURCZYNoWICZ HERE NOV.
ITO SPEAK ON RED CROSS
WORK. ''-S>>

People of Little Falls and vicinity
will on Friday evening, Nov. z, have
the opportunity to hear a talk on Red
Cross work by very prominent WON
an, Countess TurczynowicZ. The local
chapter considers itself fortunate in be-
ing able to get Countess Turczynowicz
here and the public should avail itself
of this opportunity to hear her story.
This countess, though American by
birth, is the wife of a Polish nobleman
and she lived in Poland until driven
out by the Germans in 1915. Her book
entitled "When the Prussians Came to
Poland" is said to be one of the best
war books published. Now that her
country, Lithuania, has established it's
own government and is independent Of
Poland, she is acting as a member of
the Lithuanian National Council and
is giving all of her effort to her coun-
try, but from now until after the Red
Cross drive she is giving that organiza-
tion her time and the benefit of her
experience. No one knows the situation
in Poland and the country better
than Countess Turczynowicz and no
one is better able to present the Eu-
ropean problems in a more forceful
manner.
The place at which Countess Turczy-
nowicz will speak has not been decided
upon but it will be announced later.
The local chapter will arrange for a
musical program to be given in connec-
tion with her talk.

WANT +. 0RPHANACE
POSSIBILITY INSTITUTION MAY
BE LOST TO CITY-COMMIT-
ZEE SEES BISHOP.

A probably known quite generally,
duo to the fact that the present orphan
age located in Little Falls does not now
meet the requirements of the state for
an ilstitution of that kind, plans have
been under way which would provide
for the erection of modern building
to be much larger than the present one.
The location of the Williams farm was
for time thought favorable. But in
any event it was felt that the institu-
tion would remain in Little Falls. Later
developments, however, put new phase
to the matter, it being stated that the
institution would likely 60 to st. Cloud.
The matter is to be decided by Bish-
, op Busch, with the aid Of his consultors,
who come from the different districts OF
the diocese, and large delegation from
Little Falls waited on the bishop and
his consultors at St. Cloud yesterday
afternoon. A number Of kilograms and
a petition were also sent, conveying
the feeling Of Little Falls in the mat
ter.
Among those in the delegation to St.
Cloud we're John Wetzel, Frank Kiewel,
L. O. Vessel, L. P. Runkel, John Ver'
