GUSTAVUS-AUCUSTANA DRIVE
DECIDED FOR THIS DISTRICT

The pastors of the Willmar District
OF the Augusitana Lutheran church
and laymen from everyone of the
twenty-five churches met at the base
ment Of the Bethel church last Mon
day afternoon to consider the matter
OF the drive being put on by the Min.
nesota. Conference for pledges to the
theological Seminary at Rock Island
and Gustavus Adolphus College at ST.
Peter. DR.. Gustav A. Andreen OF
Rock Island and Rev. o. ]. Arthur OF
Mankato addressed the meeting.
After some discussion it was de-
cided by majority vote that the Will
mar District would adopt the plar
proposed for raising it's quota during
the last week in October. Each
church will appoint a solicitor fol
each ten members, and the entire dis
trict is to be covered in few days
The delegates we'll knew the financial
conditions existing, but the emer
gency existing and the necessity fol
putting institutions they love in the
clear calls for sacrifice. The young
membership also we'll know tina
these institutions were founded ant
nurtured by sacrifices made by pen
niless pioneers, and they do not pro
pose to see the work done by thei1
fathers at such cost be lost to them
selves and children without being
| willing to mako sacrifices to NEE
| the demands of their day. Every dis
trict in the conference in which meet
| ings so far have been he'd have deci
ded to take up the work.

Hf0r1eS OF BY Elmo
Great Scouts & vss.'
YELLOWSTONE" KELLY AND
HIS RIFLE, "OLD SWEETNESS"
g. Western Newspaper Union.

1t was the year 1888. The hostile
Sioux had surrounded Fort Stevenson,
N. D., and any white man who went
out alone went to his death. When
the mail was sent to Fort Buford, 218
miles away, full company Of SOL
diers went along to guard 1t. One
day, while the troops were out on q
scout, important dispatches came
which had to be delivered at once, and
there was no one who would dare at
tempt the hazardous journey.
A young man, named Luther S.
Kelly, learning Of this, went to the
commanding officer and offered to get
them through alone. Kelly was a
New, Yorker who had come west seek
i ing adventure. Because Of his youth,
the scouts around the fort had nick
named him THE Kid" and now these
men told him he would BE scalped be-
fore he was a mile from the post. BE
= laughed at them. As'*tt i
II guess Old Sweetness and I can
take care o. any Sioux who jumps
us!" he ssaills "Old Sweetness" was
his pet namasfo his favorlte rifle.
A few hours later Kelly walked into
Fort Berthold, 10 miles from Steven
son. The Mandan, eros Ventre and
Arikara Indians, camped about that
post for protection against the Sioux,
gathered about in admiration Of his
daring, for they lived in terror Of the
Dakota warriors.
Kelly stopped at Berthold only long
enough to eat and then pushed on to
Buford, 200 miles away. -Four miles
from Berthold he came to n timbered
valley. When he reached the bottom,
bullet whizzed past his ears. AS
the scout dropped behind log, three
Sioux warriors rushed him. "Old
Sweetness" spoke three times and the
warriors dropped In their tracks.
Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and
told of his adventure. The friendly
Indians We're wild with Joy, and after
that they called Kelly THE Little Man
With the Strong Heart"
The scout started again for Fort
Buford and delivered the dispatches
without further adventure. He be-
came the regular mail carrier, but the
Sioux were so frightened Of his
"strong medicine" that they never at.
tackled him again.
Kelly remained in the United States
service as a scout until 1883. He was
lieutenant Of volunteers in the
Spanish-American war and In the
Philippines the old Indian scout, as
captain Of the Filipino scouts, added
| further to his laurels OF war before
he retired as fighting man.

When the Huns have finished run

From our bayonets and funning,

HARDBOILED YANKS
TURN POET

Dear Pal:
am sending these verses writ
ten by unknown authors of the A.
E. F., before the memorable
Armistice went into effect.
The National Game
The "Huns" had not been chal-
lenged,
Nor scheduled to appear;
But the game began four years
ago,
On the German-Bele frontier.
The Allied team was crippled,
But had no time to stall,
For the voice Of Domination
Had plainly cried "Play Bali"
In the early innings of the game,
The Germans took the lead,
Their forty years of practice
Had developed lots of speed.
The Allies southpaw, Belgium"
Was pitching clever ball,
But his comrades and the captain
Considered him too small.
So rather than to lose the game,
By taking such a chance,
They shifted him to second
And substituted "France.
The Jerrys thought the time was
ripe,
To carry out their mission,
And figured they could win the
Through "France s" poor condi-
tion.
A "Boche" came up and toed the
plate,
And trippled over "Arras."
He decided he could stretch the
hit
And slide right into "Paris."
But the ball was neatly handled
By fielders that were clever,
In the famous battle of the Marine
He was tagged by General
Joffre."
The "Lucky Seventh rolled
around,
The Allies came to bat;
Old "Kaiser Bill' was pitching,
And his arm was sore at that.
"Canada singled over "Vimy
Ridge"
He willingly paid the price.
Then Edith Cavell waited to the
plate
And came through with a sacrifice
"Italy' slammed an offensive,
Which rang with a sounding thud
His spikes got entangled in Ger,
man intrigue,
And he tripped and fell in the
mud.
The next ball pitched was a beauty
Knee-high and close to the shanks
And a clever drive for a double
Wash made by the British tanks.
This splendid Allied rally
Had filled the Huns with doubt,
With two men on and no one down
The Russian Bear struck out.
When Hindenberg, the catcher,
Had called for the Kaiser splitter
There swinging his bats on thu

Italian Taxi Man
SpOofed the Yank
(By Associated Press)

Rome.-They are telling story in
the Roman cafes Of how an American
visitor to Rome came off second best
in a boasting contest with a Roman
cab driver. The American undertook
to see Rome in day and used the cab
driver as a guide. The American was
driven to all the great Roman monu-
ments and took great interest in the
buildings, always asking how long each
took to build. At St. Peters the cab
driver confessed that it took so years
to complete that structure. The Amer
lean did not think that that was such
great feat for he was certain such a
building could be built in America in
two years. Other large churches, like
St. John Lateran, the visitor said, could
be built in year or even six months.
Finally, they were passing the new
massive buildings occupying several
city blocks containing the Italian law
courts. whats that?" inquired the
American. 81 don't know" replied the
driver, ut wasn't there last night"

the forearm.
Wearing a blouse of transparent ma

ever you pay for my clothes you can
tell me what to wear" Her trial was
set for tomorrow.
Assistant Chief of Police George
Stirred almost made second arrest
under the dress ordinance at the depot
this morning but the prospective VIC
tim escaped by hastily elevating GER
tain undergarments to hide the bare
skin which has shown through her
transparent blouse.

ONE-PIECE SUITS
UNDER THE BAN
Wisconsin Goods Are Warned Against
Appearing in One-Piece
Bathing Suits
(By Associated Press Leased Nre)

Madison - Parading the public
thoroughfares in one-piece bathing
suits is a privilege to be denied uni
versity of Wisconsin goods, who dur
ing the recent hot spell have neglect
ed any additional outer covering in
their stroll to Lake Mendoza. Com
plant by woman resident of the city
to the chief of police resulted in his
issuing an order compelling bathers
to wear either overcoats, bathrobes,
or some other suitable raiment while
walking to the lake and home after
their dip. He has delegated a police
woman to enforce the order. First re-
ports of the officer showed that fif-
teen bathers had been sent home to
secure additional clothing while many
others had been instructed to button
up their outer attire before proceeding
down the street. 1t is the custom in
Madison to dress for bathing at home,
since there are no bath houses at the
lake shore.
