the life of the city in which she, lived.
She and her daughters left here sew

In the Sixth Annual Roll Call for
membership the Red Cross has placed
on each state the responsibility of
conducting it's own campaign. The
success of the Roll Call in Minnesota
depends on ourselves.
Some chapters and communities re-
port to the office of the State Director
that the people are tired of drives y
that the 'war is over" and the "Red
Cross might as well disband."
Five years ago we called and sent
out the best blood of the state to the
battle fields of France. Did we say
then that four years after the war
was over that we would absolve our
selves from all obligations to the men
who gave their strength and health
for us, who have returned to US
broken in body and racked in mind,
10000 of whom are even now being
hospitalized and with their families
need the comfort and aid of the Red
Cross VIII we say this on Armistice
Day when we celebrate the fourth
anniversary of the END of the Great
War;" How can we refuse to sup
port the Health Program of the Red
Cross which stands for prevention of
disease and education for better
health?
o Men of Minnesota! Will we say
on Thanksgiving Day, as we feast on
the fat of the land and take our ease
and rejoice in the luxury and comfort
of our families and render thanks to
Almighty God for these blessings,
that it is NO CONCERN OF OURS
that women and children are today
starving in the Near East? What

Day
IS Observed
PROGRAM AT ARMORY AND AF-
TERNOON AND EVENING
SPORTS COMMEMORATE DAY.

Arnistice Day was fittingly observ-
ed in Redwood Falls, the program for
the day being planned and carried out
by Melvin Daskam Post of the Ameri-
can Legion. Because of wet, disagree
able weather the number of people
taking part in the celebration was
smaller than was expected, this small
ness of attendance being especially
. noticeable at the Armory program and
at the football game.
The morning program opened with
a parade Of the various organizations
of the city led by the Scenic City Band.
The parade ended at the armory where
an hours program of talks and music
was held. The program opened with
! the invocation by DR.. A. w. Ross, fol-
lowed by a selection by the double
quartet and solo by Mrs. G. l.. Grapp.
Father Jiracek of the Church of Saint
Catherine then gave very inspiring
talk on domestic patriotism, the need
of religion as remedy for the exist:
ing social evils and individual respon-
sibility. His talk was followed by a
duet by Mrs Grapp and Miss Lund,
and solo by Miss Iverson. DR.. Ross
then gave short address using the
preamble to the American Legion Con-
stitution as his text. The speaker
showed concisely how the American
Legion, should it carry out its ideals
as expressed in this preamble, would
be a power for good which could not
be withstood by any agency for evil.
Both Father Jiracek and DIR. Ross paid
glowing tributes to the boys who had
gone into service, equally those who
never returned and those who came
back, both speakers contending that
the willingness. of the latter to make
the supreme sacrifice made their gift
to the world just as priceless as was
that of the men who gave their lives.
The program closed with the singing
of Kipling's Recessional by the GU
artet and the Benediction by Father
Jiracek C. H. Baldwin presided at
the meeting. r7r-
The afternoon matinee at the New
Dream was we'll attended as were the
evening showing of the same picture
and the dance at the Armory. Both
of these were given as benefits for the
American Legion fund and were sue
cessful. The poor attendance at the
football game however, made the day
an unsuccessful one financially.

Rural Credit
Plan Wins Big
AMENDMENT NO. l FAVORED BY
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
OF VOTERS.

Adoption of Amendment No. /,
providing for the establishment OF a
state system Of long time loans for
farmers, was adopted by voters in the
election last Tuesday by more than
100000 majority.
Tabulations made at the ST. Paul
office of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, on information obtained
from the Associated Press, show that
UP to the end of last week, the amend
ment had enough support to carry
even if all remaining precincts went
against it solidly. ..-
The amendment had 379, ,l43 votes
for and 36,569 against when 2O11 pre-
cincts out of 3479 in the state had re-
ported. This tabulation included
nearly all of Ramsey, more than hall
of Hennepin and about 10 percent OF
st. Louis counties. Complete reports
had been obtained from 21 counties:
Other scattering returns indicated
that the proposal had carried every
county in the state. ,
To be adopted, the amendment had
to be supported by more than ma jor-
ity of the voters voting in the election.
The highest vote according to unot-
fetal returns, was for governor, for
which office, 651, 1877 ballots had been
counted, with few precincts missing.
Therefore, it seems impossible that
more than 100000 votes could have
been cast, making it necessary for the
amendment to have 350,000 Yes
votes to pass. With but fve-eighths
of the vote in, the amendment had
more than that number.
Amendment No. 2, making the oc-
cupational tax a part of the consti-
tuition. was running somewhat behind
Amendment No. l. The total vote, on
the face of returns from 1916 pre-
cincts was 2OO,978 for and 32,524
against. There was some doubt as to
whether it would obtain the needed
majority. No special campaign was
waged in it's behalf, though the drive
tor Amendment No. l is credited with
having made thousands of votes for
it.
The vote on Amendment No. l,
which is almost as heavy as that given
the Good Roads proposal two years
ago. is credited to state wide
campaign waged in it's behalf by a
special committee of farm organiza-
tions of which j. F. Reed, president OF
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton was chairman.

Criminal cases on the calendar OF
the present term Of District Court
were all disposed of Monday, and
Tuesday morning Judge Olsen and his
court resumed work on the civil calen-
dar on which there are still ten or
a dozen cases. It is probable that

to continue several of them. Next

Chas. Murray go to Marshall for the
Lyon County court term. -.

of the criminal cases; Frank Shoemak-

and given a fine of $3.50. John Dooner
has already started to serve his sent
ence of sixty days, having pleaded
guilty to the issuing of checks without
funds. Horace Hedges was found not
guilty of one charge brought against
him. There still remains one charge
of indecent assault against Mr.. Hea-
ges, this case to be continued until tha
next term of court. :.
LaVerne E. McGoon was found gull
ty of second degree larceny and was
sentenced to ninety days in the coun-
ty jail A second charge of burglary
in the third degree was dismissed.
The case of the State against the Min
nesota Central Creamery Co. Inc. was

ing nrice rates discriminatory between
localities.
Fred Balfany was given sentence
of thirty days and a fine OF $3.50 Tor

ors. Sheridan Flaherty was given
similar sentence on the charge of sell
ing liquor and his Jail sentence was
suspended. Nick Crozier was given
sixty days and $3.50 for the unlawful
transportation of Intoxicating liquors.
A joint charge against the two men
was dismissed on motion of the Coun'
ty Attorney Paul Lange was given
sixty days and $3.50 for the manufac-
ture of liquor. Omer Baten was given
thirty days and $3.50 on similar
charge s>z-s .-s - F.. ~
+ Otto Muetzel, Jr. was found guilty
of grand larceny in the second degree
and was sentenced to the state re-
formatory for six months. The case
against o. B. White, who was charg
ed with selling and disposing of mort
gagged property, was dismissed on mo
ton of the County Attorney. The
case of the state against w. E. Schei
of Lamberton occupied all of Monday
afternoon, the verdict of guilty being
returned by the jury shortly after
six o'clock.
Of the remaining civil cases it IS
difficult to say which will be tried or
in what order they will be tried. The
case set for consideration early Tues
day morning was the case of A. r.
Redman VS.. Thorwald Nelson, ct al.

An Appeal to MINI.

if it had been your wife or my wife
that was driven by the numbering
Turk and the flames of burning
buildings into water up to their necks
in the Bay of Smyrna holding high
dropped dead. Can we say that these
things are no concern of ours and
claim to be Christian?
Did the men of the First Minnesota
at the Battle of Gettysburg say "that
they were tired of drives" when they
made the charge that saved the day?
Did the boys of Cantiany, Belleau
Wood, Chateau Thierry, San Mihiel,
and the Argonne say they were "tired
of drives" and of giving their lives
and declare "that" they would dis
band?" Yet we are saying such
things at this time when the need of
the world and of those who have suf-
fered for our country is as great as
ever.
Will we make Minnesota indeed the
North Star State? Will we play fair
to the 10000 broken and disabled
veterans of the World War now need
ing the comfort and aid of the Red
Gross? Will we be true to the men,
ory of the 10000 dead who died that
we might have better world for
little children to live in? Let us make
Minnesota the best regiment of the
Central Division of the National Red
Cross Army. At zero hour on Arm
istice Day let us go over the top for
a full membership in every community
that on Thanksgiving Day we may
truly give thanks for duty well done.

AN AFTER
ELECTION THOUGHT

A fundamental element in good
manners and good morals is the
ability to hold ardent convictions
and at the same time be able to
retain both respect and admira-
ton for those whose opinions diff
fer from your own. Every one
disapproves of some one else's
opinions; that is inevitable. But
no one with intelligence should
find views differing from his own
incomprehensible. Such inability
to understand another's point of
view is intolerant and uncharita-
BILE. Charity is the greatest Of
all virtues-Madison Press.
