Well Attended
LUTHERAN MEMBERS MEET AT
JUHNKE HOME FOR ALL DAY
SERVICE SUNDAY.

Over hundred cars brought men,
bers of the Lutheran churches of this
vicinity to the home of Mr.. and Mrs
E. A. Juhnke Sunday. The ocassion

large and pleasant orchard on the
Juhnke farm just west of Redwood
Falls.
The morning sermon was preached
by Rev. C. W. Nickels of Lake Elmo,
the father of W. C. Nickels, pastor of
the St. Johns Lutheran Church of
Redwood Falls. In the afternoon the
services were in charge of Rev. K.
Rudolph of the Willow Lake Church

A picnic dinner was an important part
of the nooday recess.
A very pleasant feature of the day

directed by Rev. Horn of the Morgan
Lutheran Church. This band has been
especially trained to play hymns and
other sacred music and the music was
very beautiful addition to the SER
vices of the day.

Writes Home
CAMP LAKEVIEW, LAKE CITY
MINNESOTA, AUGUST
14th., 1922.
Dear Folks At Home:

Dear Folks At Home
We are now nicely settled in our
camp, arriving here Saturday after
noon. We were two hours late at St.
Paul, consequently did not spend much
time there. We were escorted to a
restaurant where we had breakfast,
leaving Immediately on special train
for Camp Lakeview. We have had
plenty of work to do which keeps a
good soldier out of mischief. We can
boast of several things, namely, our
officers; they sure are live ones and
among the best in the camp, which is
proved by the way the men are hand
led.
Saturday was spent in getting our
camp in order, cutting grass, getting
our hunks made and ourselves cleaned
up after the night of travel. We
sleep in squad tents, eight men to a
tent, being supplied with cots and
mattresses and plenty of coverings.
Sp. Corp. Vern Roberts is always on
deck to see that we get our share of
supplies. We all dolled up Sunday
morning and went to church in body.
After church our Mess Agt. who is
the best one in the regiment supplied
US with fine dinner. Cooks Leavens
and Fish are the hard working boys
who prepare our meals, and the dinner
mentioned above consisted of roast
beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy,
corn, rye and white bread and iced
tea. All had plenty to eat except Sgt.
Frank Welch, better known to our
home people as Fat Welch; his motto
is, "Plenty to eat and more Sleep"
Our other Sergeants are the modest
kind, Collins, Pryor, Whittet, Guthrie
and Gilbertson All they ask is "Give
US plenty Of men to drill" and believe
me the way they can handle our bunch
of seventy men is a credit to the re-
gular army. Our company was the
pride of the parade Sunday afternoon,
no one mistepped and the remarks
were quite general, "a Cracking Fine
Company"
Just a word as to how we pass our
time during the hours when We are
off duty. Bugler Stegner has his COM
plete Radio outfit here and we have
been getting some fine stuff from all
over this part of the country. Then
we have outdoor movies every night
Tree 10 everyone, IHeH 100 we are IlS III
on the shore of beautiful Lake Pepin
and the fellows are enjoying the bath
ing. The boys are all conducting
themselves as gentlemen, so far no
one has disgraced the camp or himself.
So fathers, mothers, wives and sweet
hearts do not worry about us, we will
come home feeling fine.

Nine-Year-Old Girl
Victim OfACCident
IVADELL WARNER OF COMFREY
INSTANTLY KILLED THURSDAY
AFTERNOON OF LAST WEEK

Ivadell Warner, the nine year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Warm
er, who reside near Comfrey, was in
stantly killed when a forty-foot grain
elevator which was being put into
place at her farm home, toppled over
and crushed her beneath it.
The accident occurred last Thurs
day afternoon. The portable grain
elevator was being set in place, pre-
paratory to the coming of the thresh-
girl was told to go out and inquire
about the threshers. AS she stood
near the granary, watching the men
who were at work on the elevator, the
top heavy structure fell to the ground.
1t was made entirely of iron, and was
approximately forty feet long. The
child saw the impending danger, and
ran as fast as possible, but was unable
to get out of it's range. It fell length
wise of her body, killing her instantly.
The elevator was removed at once, but
the child breathed only few times
after the weight had been taken away.
DR.. Thompson of ST. James, the coun-
ty coroner, pronounced the death to be
accidental
The little girl leaves to mourn her
death, her parents, her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Warner of Com
frey, and three brothers.
The funeral was held from the West
Sveadahl church last Sunday after
noon, Rev. M. A. Melford Of Comfrey

ed family have the sympathy of the
entire community.

Draft Evader
Kills Physician
DR.. EkLUND OF DULUTH SHOT
BY MAGNUSON WHO THEN
KILLS SELF.

The motive for the shooting to death
of DR.. J. J. Eklund of Duluth Satur-
day by John Magnuson, who then kill
ed himself, was believed by police
Sunday to be traceable to the draft of
1918, when DR.. Eklund was head of
the draft board here.
Because of his activities and be-
cause Magnuson is believed to have
endeavored to evade the draft a threat,
made during the war period, it is
thought, was carried out Saturday.
Whether Magnuson was the man
who made a threat against the lives
Of all members of the board in 1918
has not been ascertained by the po-
lice but his war record is being traced.
That the man should be sufficiently
sane to seek medical examination
at DR.. Eklund's office and then be-
come so violently insane as to shoot
him, firing three shots through the
head of the physician, is unreason-
able, the police declare That there
must be some other motive of a re-
vengeful sort back of the crime is the
theory being followed up.

Red Cross Worker
Ready to Start
MISS Jose CELYN TO HAVE
CHARGE OF EX-SERVICE MEN
AND WELFARE WORK.

Miss F. Lucille Joscelyn has arrived
in Redwood Falls and is starting her
work as executive secretary of the
Redwood County Red Cross Chapter
This means that Miss Joscelyn will
have in charge the work of the We'll
fare Board of the County and will also
have charge of the work with the ex-
service men. This last phase of her
work consists of many cases which
need immediate and very close atten-
tion.
Miss Joscelyn's office is in the
courthouse office of Miss Fern Ken
nedy the superintendent of Redwood
County Schools and she may be reach
ed there. Her office hours are from
nine to five and she has set aside Mon
day Of each week as the day when she

day are assured of finding her there.
While Miss Joscelyn is employed by
stha 8saTlty Red Cross Chapter her
welfare work is done under the direc-
tion of the Redwood County Welfare
Board and under the State Board of
Control. This constitutes only a part
of her work, however, and in addition
to welfare problems all the claims and
other questions of ex-service men will
come to her. The need for welfare
workers is constantly increasing ani
Redwood County is among the pro-
gressive counties which recognize this
need and supply the trained worker
necessary to carry the work forward
Miss Joscelyn has had extensive train
ing in the social service schools of the
East and has had an extensive expert
ence in the work before coming to

COMMITTEE OF FARM WOMEN
APPOINTED TO WORK WITH
SIMILAR COMMITTEES

Appointment of a committee of
women of the farm and town to work
with similar committees from all parts
of the Northwest, to promote the in
creased use of milk and milk products
as a vital factor in the health and
strength of the nation, will be an
nounced within few d ays according
to a statement by Mrs. J. E. Rounds,
St. Paul, president Of the Minnesota
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
Mrs. Rounds is serving as volunteer
in the movement which has engaged
the attention of child health and well
fare leaders in every state.
with the franchise women have
assumed certain new sponsibilities, ="
Mrs. Rounds said, Zone of these is
to see that we obtain for the children
larger and better supply of milk.
And another is to see to it that peo-
pie who do not yet realize the value
of milk are taught it's worth as a
builder of clean blood, stout muscle
and healthy brain. The National
Dairy Exposition is worth our sup
port, and when we give that support
we are only keeping step as we should
with efforts of farmers and business
men to make agriculture steadily pros
porous"
Extensive preparations are being
made by leaders in women's work
throughout the country for the mar
velous "Healthland" show, an exhi-
bit Of the most elaborate nature at
the National Dairy Exposition, Twin
Cities, October TIA. This exhibit
will typify in every detail the re-
markable efforts put forth for chill
dren by the leading welfare organiza-
tions of the United States.

State Auditor
Visits Park
SUGGESTS PLAN FOR COMBIN-
ING TWO PARKS; OLD BRIDGE
I. TO BE REPLACED.

Ray P. Chase, auditor of the state
of Minnesota, was a Redwood Falls
visitor last week, this visit forming a
part of his tour through this section
of the state to visit the various state
parks. With Mr.. Chase were Engine
er W. E. Stoopes of the State High
way Commission, ]. c. Hammond OF
the Pioneer Press and j. H. Kaiseratt,
chief accountant of Mr.. Chase's office.
Mr.. Stoopes is Ramsey enthusiast,
having spent several weeks here last
spring in plating the Park. The
party arrived here Wednesday night,
spent several hours early Thursday in
inspecting the park property and then
returned to Saint Paul.
Mr. Chase while here suggested to
the City Council and to the Park Com
mittee the combination of the city
park property just north of town and
the Ramsey State Park property, into
one greater state park. II would
like" said Mr. Chase, "to see the city
deed to the state the city park proper
ty. Then the state could rebuild the
bridge across the Redwood Falls and
build a suitable drive connecting the
present state Park property with this
city park which is now practically use
less to the public because of its mac
feasibility. This bit of land contains
some of the most beautiful scenery
about Redwood Falls and would make
a wonderful extension to Ramsey
Park. Redwood Falls has nothing to
loose by thus deciding over the proper
ty and will gain much, since this
change would bring Ramsey State
Park right to the end of Mill street
and the additional drive would be a
constant source of enjoyment as we'll
as a great convenience"
The city park property was decided
to Redwood Falls years ago by A. c.
Burmeister who is very enthusiastic
over Mr.. Chase's proposed plan. Mr.
Burmeister, who always has the better
ing of his city in mind has said that if
this land is given to the state he will
also deed to the state the beautiful
ridge. known as the Hogsback, along
the Redwood River. This ridge has
never been part of the city park,
and is still owned by Mr.. Burmeister.
The only purchase that would have to
be made would be a small portion of
the upper pasture land near the Tur-
rell home which would be required for
the drive such as Mr. Chase plans.
The plan looks entirely feasible and is
being seriously considered by the City
Council and others having the matter
in charge.

Captain Max Sebald, who organ
lied Company A, and who has inter-
ested himself in its welfare since,
has resigned as captain of the local
national guard unit, according to the
Brown County Journal. Captain Sc
bald may be commissioned a major
on the retired list and this is one of
the reasons that prompted him to re-
sign as the commanding officer of
Company A. Another reason is that
Captain Sebald desires to be freed
from active work in connection with,
the national guard The task of or
ganizing Company A was an arduous
one and now since it is on a splendid

the duties as commanding officer. The

announced themselves as representa-

Jens Scott Barn Burns

Wednesday afternoon of last week,
about o'clock, Mrs. Scott discovered
fire in the manger Of their horse
barn. She and little girl were the
only ones at home and they immedi-
ately summoned help. Mr.. Knutson
happened to be within a few rods of
the place plowing and Mr.. Heller too
was there very quickly but nothing
could be done to save the barn and
granary. Jens was in town and the
barn was well burned down when he
got there. There was no livestock in
the barn at the time, their horses
being all out at work. The granary
contained 1900 bu. of oats covered by
$4,000 and there was $500 on the
barn. Besides this the chicken house,
water tank and fencing was destroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown but
Mr.. Scott thinks it must have started
from the results of careless smoking,
possibly by a cigar or cigarette stump
thrown by someone driving along the
road near the barn. This is big loss
especially at these times, but Jens
takes it very cheerfully.-Milroy Echo.
