Red Cross Reports
From Storm District
DISTRICT WORKERS DOIN
MUCH TO ALLEVIATE SUI
FERING OF VICTIMS.

Red Cross headquarters for the
storm stricken area of five counties
have been established at Balaton with
two workers from the Central DivI-
sion in charge, three county executive
secretaries carrying on as rapidly as
possible and any number of voluntary
workers giving able assistance.
With the reports of the storm COM
ing in, stories Of human appeal are
not lacking. In one case where the
storm had leveled a fine farm house
with modern equipment ito a mass
of twisted and torn debris, an old man
was found sitting on a stump, all
alone, and smoking a pipe. When
asked to tell his story he broke forth
in tears, telling of years of hard work
in building up good farm, and of
the waste of time. He said his wife
had died year before and he was
left alone without friend AS he
was speaking a little dog cuddled up
before him. Suddenly smiling, he
said, mo, have one real friend after
all, that is my dog"
Since then he, like many others ir
the stricken locality, have learned Of
other good friends. From all over
the five counties people have respod-
ed most generously to calls for aid
and this aid is being very efficiently
distributed by the Red Cross workers
assisted by the big trucks furnished
by the National Guard. The five
counties are Lincoln, Lyon, Murray,
Cottonwood and Redwood. Ali the
work of the Red Cross is directed
through the Balaton office where
Mrs. Leslie Gray Of the Central Divi-
sion is in charge. Mr.. Cloud of the
Central Division is also on active
duty and assisting him are Miss Mary
Hanson, Miss Charlotte Cole and Miss
F. Lucille Joscelyn, the executive sec
retaries respectively of Murray, Yel-
low Medicine and Redwood Counties.
These young ladies are working on
the individual cases.
A survey has been made and over
hundred cases needing help have
been listed: Tents, cots, stoves and
other necessary furniture have been
distributed to those loosing their
homes. Groceries and cooked foods
have also been distributed, making it
possible for families to remain on
their locations and take care of what
little property has been left them.
Many of them are much discouraged
and are anxious to give up farming
Sympathetic help is greatly needed to
keep them on their farms until they
can be reestablished. Losses of ma
chinery and other personal property
are being adjusted by the County
Commissioners of the respective coun-
ties in which these losses occur. The
State is erecting temporary shelters
for these homeless people.
Walnut Grove Red Cross workers
have been wonderful in their effective
work all through the stricken terri
tory. The ladies of that village are
still doing a wonderful work in pro-
viding food and clothing. The women
of Redwood Falls have been given
sewing to do for the destitute ones
and are making sleeping garments
for the children Of several families.
There still remains much to be done
and the Red Cross will remain 'on
the job" until all temporary needs
are met.

Tornado Relief
Given Farmers
STATE AND COUNTIES AID
STRICKEN FARMERS IN TOR
NADO DISTRICT.

The state of Minnesota has come
to the aid of the stricken farmers in
the tornado district. Most Of the
farmers were in poor financial cir
cumstances before the storm and now
they are practically destitute, many
losing their homes, farm buildings,
cattle and grain. The state board of
relief at the call of Governor Preus
has voted $4,000 as relief for the
stricken farmers in the Tracy, Bala-
ton district. General Rhinow, in a
tour of inspection, found deplorable
conditions existing. The American
Red Cross is doing everything possi-
BILE to alleviate suffering and the cltl-
zens of Tracy, Marshall and sur
rounding towns are responding to ap-
peals for aid. The American Legion
Posts of Redwood Falls, Tracy, and
Marshall have sent members to the
storm district to aid the stricken peo-
pie in their task of clearing away
the demolished buildings and to aid
in putting up temporary buildings.
The bankers of Tracy, Marshall and
surrounding near by towns are ex-
tending what credit they possibly can.
The County Board of Lyon County
authorized the appropriation of $780,
900 for the sufferers.
The storm was one of the most dis
astrous in years and the people OF
Minnesota are responding nobly to
the appeals for aid.

Legion Convention
Committee Reports
FAIRMONT MEETING HAS RE-
PORT OF INTEREST TO
LEGION.

Be it resolved by the American
Legion of the Second Congressional
District of Minnesota in convention
assembled at Fairmont this 18th day
of June, 1924, as follows:
1. To the officers and comrades of
Leo c.. Prentice Post of the American
Legion and to the people of Fairmont
who have extended to this convention
a most cordial welcome, we extend
our thanks. We appreciate the work
which has been done by Fairmont to
make this convention success.
2. We also thank our District and
State Officers of the American Legion
for their work in promoting the prin-
ciples and welfare of our organization
during the past year in spite of con-
ditions which at times have been
somewhat discouraging.
g. Believing that Memorial Day
has been diverted from it's true pur-
pose so that in many communities it
has become day devoted entirely to
ball games, racing, dancing and kim
dred activities, resulting in the con-
version of the day from a holy day
to holiday, we urge every post in
this Second Congressional District to
take active steps to stop such Per-
verted use of the day and we also
urge that the next State Convention
take definite steps toward insuring
proper observance of Memorial Day
as day devoted and sanctified to the
memory of the Nations honored dead.
4. This Convention urges that each
post adopt a definite program of
AmericaniZation to be carried ouS
through cooperation with the schools
and newspapers and other agencies
by a standing committee to be ap-
pointed by each post. We urge that
such program shall include special
attention to the study of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, instruction
in the proper use of and respect to
the American flag, practical assist
ance of aliens desiring to become
American Citizens, and ascertaining
the nature of text books used in our
schools, particularly in the subject
of American History.
5. We thank our Senators and Re-
presentatives in Congress who have
supported the Adjusted Compensation
measure and helped to secure its en-
actment into law.
6. The Importance of rendering
service to the disabled cannot be too
strongly stressed. We therefore urge
that the State Convention appoint a
committee to work out plan for the
organization Of a service officers
throughout the state for the closer
coordination of their work so that
rapid, efficient and concerted action
can be secured from the Veterans
Bureau in handling claims for COM
pensation.
7. We warn against the danger of
the American Legion attempting to
participate as an organization IN
securing legislation too far afield
from the purposes of the organization
and we urge that our legislative pro-
gram as defined by our state and ma
tional conventions be confined rather
closely to matters affecting the dis
! abled, education, Americanism and
kindred subjects.

TEN GOOD COMMANDMENTS

l. Drive on the right side of the
road; it's just as good as the
left.
@a2. Slow down when approach
ing cross road; it is nearly as
dangerous as a railroad cross
ing.
5. Look out for children. You
can never tell what they will do,
and you are always in the wrong
if you hit one.
4. Try to help instead of hind
ering the traffic officer; he is
there for your good and he's got
tough job.
5. Be sure that your lights are
not defective or glaring; it's no
joke driving into a binding
glare, as you yourself know.
6. cad and obey the warning
signs; they are not put up as or
naments.
If you've got to speed-do it
where it won't kill anybody but
yourself.
8. When making minor repairs
get all wheels off the pavement
and stop where your car may be
seen from both directions; other
wise you may stop longer than
you anticipated.
8. Speeding around corners is a
straight route to the hospital.
Don't race past stopped car.
Some day the jury will call it
manslaughter.
10. Use discretion. The fact
that you had the right of way
won't bring anybody back to life,
least of all yourself.
