Attention! Soldiers!

The Minnesota State Soldiers Bonus
Board of Review becomes effective
July first. The members of this board
met recently and informally discussed
methods of procedure to expedite the
consideration of State Bonus claims
coming before it. The members of
the Board of Review are anxious to
have the cooperation of the American
Legion and therefore suggest the fol-
lowing: That,
Beginning July first, each Mime
sofa Legion Post Adjutant or other
designated officer collect the appeals
to the Board of Review from it's vicini-
ty, securing the name and bonus ap-
plication number of each applicant
desiring his claim reviewed and for
ward such list to the Soldier Bonus
Board of Review, instead of having
the applicants send in their applica-
tions separately.
The Soldiers Bonus Board Of Review
will arrange a hearing at some con-
venient point upon all applications for
review sent from that vicinity, thus
eliminating the delay and expense OF a
vast amount of correspondence, and
of trips by individual applicants to
st. Paul
In City Posts and wherever desired
the Board of Review will hold hear
ings in the evening so that applicants
need not lose time from their work.
Many claims will be allowed and
paid before July first by the Bonus
Board; hence, do not collect claims for
review until after July 1st, as the in
clusion of claims that have been al
lowed will cause unnecessary work
and delay.
If Legionaires generally will CO.
operate with the Board of Review in
this manner, both in the city and the
country, claims can be considered
much more rapidly than if sent in by
each applicant individually.
The Legion's Service Department at
State Headquarter will cooperate by
advising post officers promptly OF
hearings to be held in their vicinity
The Board of Review will hold its
hearings as rapidly as possible in vari-
Gus localities throughout the state, SC
that there will be no discrimination in
favor of any community.

Bankers Boost
DowIing Fund
PLEDGES SIS, 200
TO MEMORIAL AND HEARTILY
ENDORSES MOVEMENT.

The movement to raise a fund for
a hospital for crippled children as
memorial to the late M, J. Dowling,
was heartily endorsed by the Mime
sofa Bankers at a convention of their
association held in Minneapolis last
week. A resolution was adopted to
the effect that the Minnesota Bankers
association will underwrite 900
of the amount needed for this men,
orial fund.
Mr.. G. H. Richards, secretary OF
the Bankers association writes the
Times editor as follows:
The resolution was adopted that the
Minnesota Bankers association would
underwrite $4,000 of the amount
needed for this memorial fund. 1t
is needless to tell you how much sat
isfaction this gives to the writer, and
/ assure you that no work in which
could engage would give me so much
real comfort as to help raise this
fund. For the laudable purpose a
committee will be appointed immedi-
ately to seriously go into the work.
This generous and praise worthy
act on the part of the Minnesota
Bankers association assures the sue
cess of the movement, as this sum is
about one-fourth Of the amount re-
quired to be raised. It is the desire
Of the committee in charge OF the
campaign that the remainder of the
fund be secured through contribu-
tions from all the people of the state.
Large contributions are not expected,
but it is hoped that many people will

George Mansfeldt.

Funeral services Tor GeOrgeF Mans
feldt, who met his death by accidental
drowning in Lake Redwood the,leyen-
ing of June 80, were held Sunday af-
ternoon at the home Of his, parents,
Mr.. and Mrs M. c. Mansfeldt. The
service was in charge of the Masonic
Lodge Of Redwood Falls, assisted by
the American Legion. Rev. G.. r.
Martin, the chaplain of the Masonic
Order read the service OF the order
and Chaplain Phil Ellsworth gave a
short sermon, representing the Am
erican Legion. Max R. H. Treu sang
Crossing the Bar. Following the SER
vice at the home short Masonic ser
vice was held at the Redwood Falls
cemetery where interment was made.
The pail bearers were Ernie Gallea,
Breckenridge, Walter Hassenstab and
C. H. Baldwin Members of Ameri-
can Legion led, by Captain w. B.
Clement served as an escort of honor
in the march from the home to the
cemetery.
George Mansfeldt was the youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. C. Mansfeldt
and was born at Echo May 10, 1897.
With his family he came to Redwood
Falls in 1911, entered the public
school and graduated from the high
school in the class of II. In August
1910 he enlisted and served with the
Motor Transport Company until his
discharge in July 1919. The most of
this time he was stationed at Newport
News Before his service, and since
his discharge, he was employed until
recently as mechanic by the Jaehn-
ing Bros Company and for the past
few weeks he has been in the employ
of the Telephone Company.
Besides the parents the deceased is
survived by four sisters, Mrs. Minnie
Echart, Mrs. Martha Brown and Mrs.
Elsie Edmonds Of Redwood Falls and
Mrs. Augusta Savoy of Waseca and
by one brother, Grover, of Redwood
Falls. Relatives from out of town
who attended the burial service includ-
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Werges of
Amboy, Mr.. and Mrs. Werges and Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Werges of Gaylord,
Mr.. and Mrs. Schwitzer of Hopkins
and Mr.. and Mrs. Heller of Gaylord.
Miss Althea Sampson of Faribault
and Norris Darrell of St. Paul were
also present.
The death of this young man
brought great grief not only to the
bereaved family but to his many fri
ends in the city and at his former
home. His quietness, kindliness and
gentleness made him an especial fav-
orite with his employers and bis older
acquaintance and his good nature
and helpful friendliness made him
very popular with his classmates and
with the other young people associat-
ed with him. As one class mate re-
marked of him, "He was always
ready to help or to have good time
and there wasn't anyone of whom we
were all so fond as we we're of
George" The large attendance at the
service and the exquisite flowers
which were sent in great quantities
were symbols of the esteem and at
fection in which he was held by those
who knew him.

Cdy viii Have
1922 Chautauqua
PRESENT SEASON CLOSES TUES
DAY NIGHT WITH LECTURE BY
FRANK DILNOT OF LONDON.

The citizens of Redwood Falls have
again decided in favor of the Chautau-
qua, sufficient number guaranteeing
the purchase of tickets to assure the
1922 season. D. L. Crimmins, who
has successfully served as the local
manager for the past several years,
was selected by the business people,
who are acting as guarantors, and will
again serve in this capacity next
year.
The present season which closes
Tuesday night with the lecture by
Frank Dilnot of London was very
pleasing to the majority of the pa
irons. Some of the numbers were of
exceptional merit, the lecture by DR..
Krebs, the musical program by Ma
dame Ellen Beach Yaw, the piano reci-
tai by Frank Cannon and the enter
tainment Sunday evening by the
Toye Company being among these ex-
ceptional ones. It is expected that
the Frank Dilnot lecture will be the
strongest, or among the strongest of
the lectures given. The electrical ex-
periments by Mr.. Starnes early in the
season were also much enjoyed especi-
ally by the younger members of the
audience.
While there was some little COM
plant of the similarity of the subjects
chosen BY two of the speakers and
some slightly uncomplimentary men
ton of one Or two of the lighter
numbers, the large part Of the pro-
gram was very pleasing and most of
those attending are greatly gratifed
that there is to be another season next
year When it is considered that the
price is so moderate, and that there is
generous sprinkling of really big
things which few cities of the size
of Redwood Falls are able to procure
except through the agency of the
Chautauqua bureaus, the fact that
some two or three numbers do not
quite come up to the satisfaction of
all, is unworthy of serious considera-
ton.

Sixtieth Year
May Be Observed
NEW ULM MAKES TENTATIVE
PLANS FOR CELEBRATING SIX
TIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
INDIAN OUTBREAK.

There is a quiet movement IN New
Ulm crystalizing toward the arrange
ment of the celebration of the six
tieth anniversary of the Indian mas
sacre during the month of August OF
next year. The ffieth celebration
was held in 1912, when whole week
was given over to the anniversary.
This was one of the biggest events
ever staged in the history of south
ern Minnesota, and attracted thou
sands to New Ulm. Pioneers and old
residents came to this city from every
state in the union and the celebration
was one never to be forgotten.
But Few Participants Left.
As the cycles of time go forward
each year a number of those, who
took part in the memorable struggle
between the white settlers and the
red men, pass to their reward, and
it will be but a few short years un-
til there are none left, to tell the tale,
who were present during those trying
days of frontier life.
This is one reason, that the move
ment to celebrate the anniversary is
taking form. If the seventy fifth
anniversary is awaited, it is doubt
full il any of those hardy pioneers
who carved the city Of New Ulm and
Brown county from the wilderness will
be left, who took part in the Indian
massacre, in 1862.
Would Attract Thousands.
With the automobile in general use
the celebration would attract thou
sands and it is expected that New
Ulm would be called upon to share
it's hospitality with the largest crowds
that ever visited the city, even larger
than when the Hermann monument
was dedicated, when it is estimated
that twenty thousand visitors were
present.
Given Over to Celebration.
Nine years ago in August the en-
tire week, from Monday 19 to Sum
day the 25th, inclusive, were given
over to the celebration of the events,
which occurred fifty years preceding.
The celebration events were many and
varied and New Ulm never held such
a successful celebration. 1t was un-
precedented in the annals of the Min
nesota valley.
Can Go One Better.
The celebration next year, IL L Is
decided to hold one, will be superior
to the one held nine years ago, for
conditions have changed with the
coming of the automobile into gen.
eral use and the good roads permeat-
ing every section of the northwest,
travel is much more facile.
The impending celebration was one
Of the reasons why the celebration
Of the Fourth in New Ulm was not
considered more favorable than it was
this year. It is not New Ulm's GUS
tom to arrange for a celebration of
any kind unless it is of the best, and
| II was thought that it would be better
to pass the celebration on the Fourth
this year and arrange for, a big home
coming next year, to celebrate the
sixtieth anniversary of the Indian
massacre Journal.

The early art Of letter writing was
somewhat different from the present day
manner of correspondence. according 10
Mrs. W. X. Freudenberger Of Columbia,
who has several letters in her possession
which were written by her great grand
father, Walter Watson. of Albemarle
County, Virginia.
One Of these letters was written in
1871 to his son, Benjamin n. Watson,
who lived at Midway during that period,
and deals mostly with things Of interest
concerning the material state Of his chill
dren and grandchildren in Boone County
at that time. Il also reveals the fact
that no envelopes or stamps were used
in those days. The writing was done on
the inside Of foolscap paper with the
outside sheet left blank II was folded
twice and then sealed with wax and the
address written upon it. On the side
opposite the address, the only writing
thst appeared was the name of the post
office from which the letter was sent and
the date. The postage was 25 cents al
that time and was indicated in figures
in the upper right hand corner Of the
side addressed. The recipient always
paid the postage when the letter arrived.
Another letter which was written three
years later read: Times in our country
are very hard. Money is very scarce
and 'perduce' is high. Corn is s. a

who are residents of this county now.
