An Explanation

In the October number of the Red
Cross magazine-which will be the
last issue, there will be included a
blank form which the subscriber, if
he wishes his money returned, will
fill out and return to the Office of the
Magazine 1107 Broadway, New York,
and refund will be made to him direct.
The Chapters will in no way be re-
sponsible for this matter. The maga-
zine has been an organ similar to any
other magazine as regards its admin
istration and circulation, consequent
ly the subscriber should do business
directly with the magazine and not
with Chapter officials.
Labor and paper costs have made
it impossible to place this magazine
in the hands of the reader at any
such figure as has been in effect in
the past. 1t is felt that it would be
unwise to raise the cost of the maga-
zine to price which would make it
self-supporting since each of the Di-
vision Headquarters published week
ly bulletin, thus giving good sum-
mary of the work being done by the
American Red Cross.

Secretary Of Redwood Co.

Will You Help?

Mrs. A. B. Winter, Executive Sec
retary of the Redwood Falls branch
of the Red Cross, is asking for out
grown clothing, shoes and cast off
clothing of suitable material to be
made into garments for the needy
during the coming winter months.
There is already a great need for
such donations and as the winter
comes on the need will increase. Chill
dren's clothing in wearable condition
is especially needed and things which
YOUR own children have outgrown VIII
be very acceptable to others. Any
one having such garments, or any
thing which can be used in this way
is asked to report to Mrs. Winter OF
to send the articles 10 the Red Cross
headquarters in the Farmers State
Bank building.

w ellis Likes Clague

Hon. Frank CIague of Redwood
Falls, Republican candidate for Con
gress, was a visitor in Wells last
Thursday interviewing the voters in
behalf of his candidacy and while
here made the Mirror office a pleas
ant call. While Mr.. Clague's cleo
tion seems a foregone conclusion, he
feels it his duty to visit all parts of
the district and meet as many Of the
voters as possible from now until
election time.
This is Mr.. Clagues way of doing
things. If he becomes the peoples
representative, he will devote his
whole time and efforts to the posi-
ton, and it is largely for the reason
that he gets in close touch with the
people of the district and studies their
needs at close range that he is MAX
ing such a thorough campaign. It is
characteristic of Mr. Clague, in TAX
ing up any kind of work, to do so in
most careful and painstaking way,
which has made his public career a
successful one.
Redwood County, Of which Mr..
Clague has been a resident the last
twenty-nine wears, has honored him
many times by electing him to pub
lie ofice as county attorney, repre-
sentative, state senator and district
Judge. ninth judicial district.
During his twelve years work in
the state legislature Mr.. Clague
showed marked ability, in fact he
was recognized by his colleagues by
electing him speaker of the house in
the 1905 session. If he is elected to
Congress, which it is generally con-
ceded he will be, the second district
will have representative in Congress
who stands for economy in public af-
fairs and a square deal for every
body, and the people of the district
will get the most courteous and care
full attention in any matters they may
submit to him for consideration

New Filling Station

J. c. Ewing and S. l.. Frizell, rep
resenting the Pure Oil Company of
Minneapolis, came to Redwood Falls
last week to make arrangements for
the installation Of a new filling sta
tion here. Two sites have been Sc
lected, the lot or the corner adjOin-
ing the jail being the first choice. If
it is not possible to secure this lot
the station will probably be located
in the inside lot between the Stems
vad Garage and the old Dream build
ing. The station is to be partly fl
nanced by the selling of stock certi-
ficates among the local business men.
The company is entirely Minnesota
concern and has the endorsement of
one of the local banks as we'll as good
endorsement from the Twin Cities.
The stations erected by this company
are both artistic and convenient and
the one contemplated will be a dis
tinct addition to Redwood Falls. A
rest and wash room for the cOnve-
nience of tourists will be one of the
admirable features Of it. If the sale
of stock warrants the erection Of the
building. and there is every indica-
tiOn that sufficient number Of GER
tifcates will be sold within short
time, the station will be ready for
business within the next ninety days.

Good Business

Do you know that under the pres
ent constitution the State of Mime
sofa cannot engage in the business of
building public highways? All wrong,
you say, for we have state roads now!
No we don't! We only have county
roads on some of which certain
amount of state aid financially is
granted, and the county is entirely
responsible for the building and kind
of roads we have If Amendment
Number One is carried, it will allow
the state to enter the business of
building roads on a uniform basis !;
take over the present socalled state
roads, build and maintain them at
state expense, leaving the country
free to finance and build other i'm
portant roads. Now eighty per cent
of the road and bridge fund of many
counties is being spent on these pres
ent socalled state roads. And it is
too much. Looks like it would be
good business to turn over these state
roads to the state and then spend our
own funds on other also badly need
ed roadside Sueur Centre Democrat

Same Old Game

Gilbert Gilbertson, fair visitor
from Albert Lea, Mimi, reported to
the police last night that he has
bought the livestock building at the
fair grounds yesterday from man
who wore store clothes and diamond
stickpin, Gilbertson said A few
minutes later, regretting his bargain
after another man who flashed star
said he feared the seller had acted
without full authority, Gilbertson said
he gave the detective" S25 more to
get his money back.
livestock is great moneymak-
err" Gilbertson said he was told. "The
man who ran this building last year
cleared a fortune. He wasn't able
to come this year and sent me to sell
his interest"
After a little dickering about the
price, Gilbertson said, he got it down
to $1,000.
The money was turned over and
the "agent" said he would be right
back with the papers.
A few minutes after that first fell
low left me, said Gilbertson, another
fellow stepped up, showed me a star
and said if l would pay him a rs-
tanning fee he would try and get my
money back. / didn't see him again
either.
Gilbertson first went to the st. Paul
police, and later reported his loss to
the Minneapolis police.-Minneapolis

North Dakota ,,,.,ssv
Ready : Co.. -,
REPUBLICANS AND DEMO
Gratis UNITE FORCES
AGAINST TOWNLEY

Backed by all citizens of North
Dakota who are opposed to Townley's
Nonpartisan league continuing in
power, ]. F. T. O'Connor of Grand
Forks, fusion candidate for governor,
speaking campaign which will take
him into every county and almost ev-
cry township in the state.
O'Connor is opposing Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, Townley's choice.
Frazier has served two terms and is
a candidate for a third. Following
the defeat of William LANCER for the
Republican nomination in June, Re-
publicans and Democrats alike who
are opposed to the Townley rule of
North Dakota, united upon O'Connor
as the man to make the race. The
committee of 21, composed of seven
representatives. each from the Repub-
lican party, Democratic party and
the Independent Voters association,
made the decision. O'Connor had OBJ
tanned place on the ballot as the
Democratic nominee.
O'Connor Finished Orator
J. F. T. O'Connor is one of the
west. He is just 36 years old. He
was born at Lanark, Ontario, Nov.
10, 1884. He was graduated at the
University of North Dakota in 1907.
The following year he received law
degree from the where he received
another law degree same institution
He then went to Yale, and master of
arts degree. He taught at Yale for
three years.
O'Connor won the state orat0rical
contest in North Dakota in 1907. He
was 2 member of the Yale debating
team against Harvard in 1909 and
won the Townsend OratOrical medal
there that same year. For four years
he was president of the inter-colleg-
late debaters and orators of the Unit
ed States He was delegate to the
Democratic national convention at St.
Louis in 1916.
See Chance To Beat Townley
The campaign in North Dakota this
fall will be the bitterest political bat
tie ever fought in the state The
vote given William LANCER, who op-
posed Governor Frazier for the nomi-
nation, and that given O'Connor IN
the pramiries, combined, was greater
than that received by Frazier.
North Dakota Republicans and
Democrats feel that there is a splen-
did chance to end the rule of Town
leyism They are certain that they
already have wrested control of the
lower branch of the legislature from
the Townleyites. More than half of
the men nominated for the Legislature
are anti-Townley.

Rinker Admits Crime.

VIM. Rinker, the man who shot
Sheriff Mccall of Mobiles County was
given a preliminary hearing at Lake
field and a large number of witnesses
were examined. Men and women who
identified the prisoner as the same
party who they saw in the vicinity of
Brewster and Miloma the day of the
shooting. The boy who was with him
at the time of the shooting and Foster,
one Of the victims, also testified. At
ter the hearing the prisoner was ask
ed if he had anything to say and all
he answered was that he was guilty
He was then bound over to the next
term of court and unless the Judge
of that district calls a special term he
will remain in the Jail at jackson until
then.
Rinker is a man of rather under
medium height with weak face, a
face of a sneak rather than that of a
man of courage and the general i'm
preston one would get from his looks
and actions is that he would strike
with anything that happened to be
handy and think about the matter af-
forwards. 1t is face that once seen
would be hard to forget, one that one
would know if he saw it years after
ward. He is simply degenerate and
perhaps has grown up in large city
a typical gutter snipe, and has been
kicked about until he had no place
in his mind for good thought. 1t
was nothing for him to steal any
thing he could get his hands on and
carrying big gun with him for pro-
lection and when he thought he was
in bad used it to kill and then thought
the matter over afterward. That he
is a coward was told by the Deputy
who arrested him. When he was told
to halt he ran and when a gun was
fired over his head he let out "war
whoop" as the sheriff told it, and fell
to the ground and had no more cour-
age than a rat in a trap. At first he
denied the shooting and told the auth
critics that if they had anything on
him to go ahead but he was very ner-
vous during the trial and when he
was asked if he had any statement to
make he twisted and squirmed and
finally in a barely audible voice stat
ed that he was guilty. The County
Attorney informed him that he could
not plead before the court as it was
only a preliminary hearing-Jeffers
Review.

Nurses for
Redwood County
SCHOOL NURSE AND PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSE TO CARRY
ON GOOD WORK

Redwood county is fortunate in
having secured the services of two
nurses to work throughout the coun-
ty for the coming year. The county
commissioners have secured Miss An
ma Vorbeck of Glencoe to be the Wis
iting school nurse for the year, and
Miss Harriet Mober of Minneapolis
will take charge of the public health
work, her salary to be paid from the
Redwood County Chapter Red Cross
funds. Both nurses are splendldly
equipped for the work both through
their training and through their over
seas service during the war. In the
present shortage of nurses it is re-
markable that the county was able
to procure two such competent work
ers.
Miss Vorbeck's work will be con-
tinuation of the work which the coun-
ty school nurse has done in the past
I "a work which has proved of ines
| timable value to the school children
! of the county. The first work under
| taken by Miss Mober is the holding
of ten health clinics, the dates of
which have already been decided up
on Miss Mober will work at these
! clinics under the direction of a ply
scian and after the clinic will follow
up each individual case to see that
the child is getting the treatment
recommended by the physician.
Both Miss Mober and Miss Vorbeck
will have an office at the Redwood
county courthouse and will be at the
service of the public when their du-
ties do not take them out of town
Miss Vorbeck arrived Monday and
| Miss Mober is expected Thursday.

Charles Gales last week showed a
fine specimen of soybean of the Wis
consin Black variety which was grown
on his farm near Jordan. The stalks
are over forty inches in height and
were heavily loaded with pods in
which the beans were practically ma
tured. Mr.. Gales states that the
beans are cut with mower and are
used with corn for ensilage, furnish
ing the amount of protein which is
found beneficial in all stock foods.
The specimen was an exceptionally
fine one, showing what the soy bean
will do when given good soil and be-
ing planted alone instead of with corn.
It may now be seen at the Office of
County Agent Max Treu.
