University Will Build Homes
for Freshmen; Land is Purchased

The main purpose of the dormitor
les will be to provide a wholesome.
sanitary and thoroughly supervised
residence for new students at a cost
approximating that of rooms in the
private homes and fraternity houses
in which the students now live. Liy-
ing will probably be no cheaper for
students. but they will get more for
their money, as university authorities
visualize the system.
Many of the best American institu-
tions of learning now require all
freshmen to live in dormitories. known
as freshmen halls" Here they make
acquaintances with men of all types
and for friendships that last thru
out their college life before joining
a fraternity and thus automatically
limiting the circle of their friend
ships and associations.
The Board of Regents adopted a
plan for the ultimate construction Of
dormitory buildings two years ago.
but did not put it into effect pending
their experiment in the Field House
project, with the type of financing
they intended to use. Success of the
Field House financing and the in
creasing need for good living accom-
modations for freshman men as the
university grew have made necessary
the start on the system that will now
be made.

MRS. J. L. PARSONS COUNTY
PUBLIC HEALTH ASSN. SEC
RETARY WITH MISS NORMA
STENSVAD AS SALES HEAD.

Every citizen of Redwood County
will be given a chance to do his bit
in supporting anti-tuberculosis and
health work during 1928, according to
plans now being made for the annual
sale of Christmas Seals.
The sale will be sponsored by the
County Public Health Association, a
unit of the Minnesota Public Health
Association and the National Tuber-
culosis Association. Mrs. j. L. Par
sons, Redwood Falls, is secretary;
Mrs. E. Jameson, Walnut Grove, is
president.
Headed by Mrs. E. Jameson, Wal
nut Grove, who has been appointed
county director, arrangements are un-
derway for campaign which will
give everyone an opportunity to buy
the penny health stamps. Local man.
ayers, who will direct the sale in their
own communities, are as follows:
Supt. NJ. w. Agre, Belview; Ernest
Nelson, Clements; G. A. Paulsrud,
Supt., Delhi; Mrs. Arthur Anderson,
Lamberton; James J. Reed, Lucan;
Mrs. Helen Johnston, Morgan; Miss
l.. Luscher, North Redwood; Miss
Norma Stensvad, Redwood Falls;
Mrs. Jessie Sawyer, Revere; w. N.
Svenning, Supt., Sanborn; Miss Julia
Uggen, Vesta; l.. M. Sherman, Supt,
Wanda; Mrs. R. N. Gibson, Wabas-
so; Mrs. E. Jameson, Walnut Grove.
These workers, who form a part of
Minnesota's 10000 Christmas Seal
volunteers, are giving their time graf
is. In the rural districts the sale will
be in charge of the schools, which
are being offered health awards for
reaching their quotas.
Picturing Santa Claus carrying the
gift of health to all, the tuberculosis
seal this year is particularly attrac-
tive. Colorful posters and window
cards, repeating the design of the
seal, are ready for distribution. The
double-barred cross, international in
sigma of the fight against tuberculos-
is, has a prominent place on both
seals and the posters.
''The seals this year are pretty
enough to sell on their own merits,
without the appeal of the wonderful
work they make possible" said the
county chairman, in describing them.

Thanksgiving Proclamation
Issued by President Coolidge

tain of our states have touched the
heart of sympathetic nation, which
has responded generously out of it's
abundance. In continuing to remcm-
Der those in affiliation we should
rejoice in our ability to give them
relief.
Now that these twelve months are
drawing to close, it is fitting that,
as a nation, and as individuals, in ac-
cordance with time-honored sacred
custom, we should consider the mani
fold blessings granted to US. While
in gratitude we rejoice, we should
humbly pray that we may be worthy
of continuation of divine favor.
Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, pres
ident of the United States, do hereby
set apart and designate Thursday, the
oath day of November, as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer, and re-
commend and urge that on that day
our people lay aside their usual tasks,
and by the family fireside and in their
accustomed places of public worship,
give thanks to Him who holds all in
the hollow of His hand.
In witness whereof, have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

Pommerania, Germany, and grew up
in his native country, living for
number of years in the city of Berlin.
While still young man he emigrated
to America and made his first home
in the new world at Red Wing. At
Red Wing he was united I'm marriage
to Miss Mary Bucholz on November
81, 1867, and after few years they
moved to the farm in Jacksonville
which remained their home until 1900
when they retired from farming and
came to the village of Walnut Grove,
where Mr.. Herder had large share
in the community life, being connect
ed with various business and other
organizations. He was for many
years the vice president of the First
State Bank, and it's closing in 1924

worry but heavy financial loss. He

away before their father, but he is

very large circle of friends who had
come to know and value him as a
worthy fellow citizen.

Minnesota, has gone to his reward. He

until the end and that too in spite of
business reversals that clouded his
closing years. Charles Herder was a
man so associated with the community
