CHILD WALKS IN SLEEP,
FREEZES ON PRAIRIE

Little Raymond Elmo Keeler, aged
about three years, son Of A. A. Keelcr
wandered in his sleep from his faith
er's house on the R. N. Mounts ranch
northwest Of Hereford last Monday
morning, sometime between the hours
of midnight and $50 a. M, and his
frozen body was found at 8 $50 Mon
day morning quarter Of mile out
on the prairie.
The father had got up about twelve
o'clock and looked to see If the chill
dren were all covered up. At that
time little Raymond was in bed.
About $50 Mr.. Keeler arose for the
day and that time discovered the abb
sence Of the boy. This was not the
first time he had walked in his sleep,
and the alarm was sent out immedi-
ately. The night had been one of
the coolest and bitterest Of the win
ter, and great anxiety was felt for the
safety for the little fellow. Many
friends from Hereford joined in the
search. 1t was at first thought that
he had wandered into nearby lake,
and this pond was dragged for his
body. About $3.50 Will Hicks and
Wylie Robertson found the small body
on the open prairie.
The unusual tragedy has shocked
the entire community, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Keller and their family are re-
ceiving the sincere sympathy of all
our people.-Hereford Brand.

LEGION POST TO HAVE
W0MAWS AUXILIARY
Mothers. Wives, Daughters, Sis
tiers of Ex-Service Men Will
Meet April IL and Organize
as an Auxiliary Branch to
Burlington Post No. 2

Burlington Post. No. 2, American Legi-
on, is to have a womens auxiliary. which
Will hold the same relation to the Legi-
on which the Women's Relief Corps holds
to the Grand Army of the Republic. A
meeting OF the women of Burlington who
are eligible to membership in this aux
Hilary will be held at the Burlington high
school auditorium on Monday evening"
April IL. at eight o'clock for the purpose
Of organizing this local branch.
Membership eligibility to the women's
auxiliary is outlined in section two of
article 10 of the National Constitution Of
the American Legion. which reads as
follows Membership in the auxiliary
shall be limited to the mothers. wives,
daughters and sisters of all men and
women who were in the military or naval
service Of the United States between APP
ril G. 1917. and November II, 1918, and died
In line of duty or after honorable dis
charge and prior to November II, 1920"
1t Is highly desirable that there should
be a large attendance at this first meet
ing. as It Ia the plan to elect officers of
the auxiliary and to adopt constitution.
Burlington has one of the largest Legion
posts In the country for city of It's size.
and It is probable that there are hundreds
of women here who are eligible to mem
bership in the local auxiliary. While the
matter of annual dues will be left to the
auxiliary Itself. it is probable that the
dues will be made very small. so as to be
no burden upon anybody.
Some idea of the importance Of the aux.
Hilary as viewed from the standpoint OF
the women themselves. can be gained from
the number of women who went TO Wash
ington from all parts of the United
States and at their own expenses. TO pre-
sent matters to the national executive

been repaired as a Golfer dam must be
built so that It will be possible to get

water from the breaks did not appear
above ground. After digging 800 feet
these breaks were located and repaired.
