POWER OF WANT ADS
TO BE DEMONSTRATED
Next Week the Sheaf wal Print Want
Ads Free to Convince Skeptieal
That Advertising Pays

In order to convince everyone that
Sheaf want ads bring results the pub
Usher of the Sheaf has decided to give
all an opportunity to give advertising
a trial without expense. Next week
all want ads will be published free Of
charge in the Sheaf to demonstrate
the pulling power Of these ads. Many
farmers have already learned the val
ue of advertising and announcements
of articles they have to sell appear
regularly. There are others who have
not given advertising a trial and in
order to convince them that advertis-
ing pays this offer is made. Everyone
has something they, wish to sell or
exchange for anything they. will be
able to use and the Sheaf want ads
will help them do it. Advertisers are
requested to write out their ad and
send them to the Sheaf Office not later
than Monday, March Goth, and they
will be surprised with the quick re-
suits they will obtain. This offer is
free to all. A large number have al
ready taken advantage Of this offer
and sent in ads for publication next
week, but there will be room for all.
Those Offering seed grain for sale may
leave sample at the Sheaf Office and
it will be labeled and shown in the
display window. -
Among those who have been regular
and satisfied users Of the Sheaf want
ad service in the past are o. A. ON.
dahl, Martin Z. Boardson, John L.
Sandberg, VIM. G. Miller, Evert Evans
Torgerson Bros, P. Frost Spauldinl
Farm, M. L. Warner. They have beer
convinced that advertising pays and
apparently have something to sell al
all times for they are steadfast ad
vertisers.

BURIED WRONG BODY
OF ROSEAU SOLDIER

The body Of Peter johnson, who
died on the battlefelds of France, ar
rived here for burial last Wednesday
The body Of soldier, filed as Peter
johnson, arrived here last summer
and was inferred. in Hope cemetery
Numbers did not jibe with the records
that Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas johnson had
of their son, SO they wrote in to the
war department. After two or three
months a representative Of the de-
partment came here to straighten the
matter, stating that an unfortunate
error had happened, there being two
Peter Johnsons from this state to die
In France, the one sent here really
belonging at Monteviedo, while the
body Of the Roseau Peter johnson had
not at that time been shipped from
France. He therefore had that body
disinterred and reshipped from here

FIRE DESTROYS
WINCHESTER BLOCK
Another Of the Cty's Land Marks.
Built in 1882, is Wiped Away -.
BY the Fire Fies1d

One after another the old landmarks
in Warren disappear In the course pf
time. One Of these passed from view
early Thursday morning when the
Winchester block was destroyed BY
fire. -.
The fire was discovered about one
O'Clock when the shrill tones Of the,
fire siren resounded in the stilly,
moon-lit night, calling out the fire de-
partment and large number of citi-
zens. It is claimed that smoke was
smelled by those in the building dur
ing the previous day and evening, but
the source from whence it came could
not be located. Even after the fire
department arrived upon the scene
only smoke could be seen filing the
building and exuding through cracks
and crevices, but no flames were no.
ticable for some little time. 1t puz-
zled the department to locate the fire
in order to fight it effectively. At
last when the flames broke through
as soon as quenched in one spot they
would break out in another, the old
landmark seemingly being doomed to
destruction.
One store room in the block was
occupied by the Fred Langreder meat
| market, and the other two store rooms
by the billiard and pool hall and the
restaurant and confectionery Of E. @.
Harper. The story above the meat
| market was occupied by the family
! of Fred Langreder, and rooms above
the restaurant by Mr.. and Mrs. P. w.
| Forslund. Both families succeeded in
moving most Of their household goods
to places of safety on the other side
of the street. Mr.. Langreder is q
heavy loser by the fire. He estimates
his loss on stock and fixtures to be
about $1,000, on which he carried only
1 a little more than $500 Of Insurance.
/ His loss on household goods is also
considerable. The pool and billiard
tables of Mr.. Harper were ruined and
his loss on stock is also considerable.
Hiss loss, however, is partially cover
ed by insurance.
| The building was owned by the es-
tate Of G.. G. Winchester and worth
probably $1,000 to $4,000. Insurance
on same was carried to the amount
Of $1,000. The origin of the fire is
a mystery.
The main part of the building was
built III 1889 by Flint, Winchester &
Co., who also owned a store at An
gus. In it G. G. Winchester conducted
a general merchandise business for
more than 25 years. One part Of the
building was erected in the early days
by Ole Knutson, who occupied it with
his saloon for some years. When he
quit business Mr.. Winchester bought
the building and connected it up with
his own. The saloon part was only
partly destroyed, but is SO badly
scorched that it is beyond repair.
Thus another Of the city's land
marks has gone and proves the fact
that man and his works are doomed
to perish from the earth -

STATE AIDS DISABLED
INDIAN WAR VETERANS

Minnesota has never questioned its
debt to the men and women who an
swered its call in time Of trouble
Even now the Gopher State is paying
q debt Of gratitude to those who aided
it in the Indian Wars of 1862 and at
the same time is completing the pay
ment Of nearly $30,O00,000 to those
who answered the call in, connection
with the late World War. 49,
1t may not be generally known, but
Minnesota at the present time is pay
ing a monthly pension to PIP resi-
dents Of the state who participated in
the Indian Wars Of 1862. The law
granting this pension was passed in
1905. 1t. provides for a pension Of
$1,000 a month and only those suffer-
ing disabilities as result Of partici-
patton are eligible. Because Of death
due to the inf1rmities Of old age the
number Of participants has been great
" reduced, still each year registers
eligibles. This year two. survivors
with back pay Of $1,448.OO and ST.
304OO respectively, were added to the
list. The high mark was I'm 1912 when
nearly 450 survivors or their widows

The Warren Hospital has during a
period of fifteen years rendered eff
cient and valuable services to suffer
ing humanity.
During the year of 1921 this insti-
tuition was given to the Red River
Valley Conference of the Swedish
Lutheran Augustana Synod. AS a
church, we have therefore only en-
tered into their labor who have gone
before us, and all our merits are ex-
cluded. We aim however in the fu-
ture to go forward, to keep up it's
good standard, and improve along
every line in the measure we are en-
abled to. The Warren Hospital is a
general surgical, medical and obstetri-
cal hospital. The bed capacity is So.
The total number of patients treated
during 1921 was 1910, and the daily
variety of cases will be reported by
the Hospital Staff. The efficiency OF
the hospital staff and nursing services
is best indicated by the results ob.
tanned, the mortality rate being only
2.S per cent, and the average length
of stay Of patients 9.O2 days.
