WASHINGTON, ID. a., May s.
When you meet Lucy Hurd George,
wife OF Senator Walter Franklin
George, Of Georgia. you recall all
Of the nice things you have always
heard concerning southern women.
In the midst Of the fOrmality Of
W%ashington's official life she's
charmingly sweet and natural, and.
above all, she has = keen sense Of
humor. This keeps her from taking
capital society, with its strict little
code. too seriously.
Although her husband is Geo~E.a's
fevorite son. she laughingly protests
that she isn't a celebrity-merely a
senator's wife.
She confides that, although she
loves Washington. her heart still ~
in Vienna, Ga, the town which has
been her home since she was born.
Washington hasn't made her lose
her taste for small town pleasures.
An afternoon at the Vienna Civic or
Music club probably means more to
her than the swankiest diplomatic
tea.
Deyotcs Self "a Family
She has been too busy rearing her
two sons, Hurd and Marcus. 70 take
an active interest in politics. She
prefers 10 leave public service 70 her
husband and devote herself to her
household.
Although proud or her senator
husband she knows that the wife Of
a man in public life gives him up a.
the government, realizing he will
have little time which he can call
his own while in office. And Mrs.
George believes children Of official
folk miss a great deal because their
fathers can give them 50 little atten-
ton.
Like many other Washington
women, Mrs. George finds time 20
do fancy work. She proudly ex-
hibits an exquisite dinner cloth Of
lace which she had pieced.
Minglcs With Senate Women
Mrs. George is a frequent attend
ant az the luncheon meetings Of the
senate women. The club. one Of the
most informal in the capital. was
formed during the war. Members
bring their own lunch. Ever since
she has been IN the White House.
Mrs. Coolidge has attended the
l~uncheons because they give her 80
much enjoyment.
One gathers that Mrs. George
doesn't banker 70 be mistress of the
White House. She likes people and
she doesn't relish having a set or
rules outlined for telling her when
she shall entertain and whom. she
has been used 10 the frindiy hos
n~itality Of a small town, and IN the
White House she would be bound rs
convention. But one feels. IL by
some queer chance OF the ballet. her
husband becomes the next president
N the United States. Lucy George.
like q good soldier, would rise 10 the
occasion.

derfully successful. Since it was
started 1882 Junior Bird Clubs have

in the mind of the youth of the land
better appreciation of the value Of
wild bird life to mankind"

A. o. SCHMIDT IN
CONGRESS RACE

A. o. Schmidt, county auditor of
Renville County, has filed for Con-
gress of the Seventh Congressional
District on the Republican ticket, ac-
cording to advices from the State
Capitol Thursday of last week. After
ten years as County Auditor of Rem
vile County, and in connection with
his college education and his expert
ence as clerk in the Minnesota Sem
ate, he should be equipped and quail
flied for efficient service if elected.
Having fought for the farmers
cause for good many years, his pro-
gram will, no doubt, be based upon
and for agricultural legislation.
He has always had the support of
the Progressive votes in this county
and has been a Republican all of his
life and will make his campaign as
such, having in mind the needs Of his
district.-Morton Enterprise.

DON'T LET YOUR
CHILD HAVE MEASLES

February and March are in the
height of the measles season and par
ents should be alert to discover any
symptoms, says a health commission
err.
Early symptoms of measles are a
watery discharge from the nose,
sneezing, red watery eyes, hacking
cough, drowsiness, headache, loss of
appetite, fever and sometimes vomit-
ing. In four or five days red rash
appears on the body. The disease is
highly contagious. 1t may be spread
through coughing and sneezing and
through discharges on handkerchiefs,
towels, toys, clothing and eating
utensils.
Five points about measles are to
be remembered:
1. Children under 5 years old are
most seriously affected by measles.
2. Because measles favors the de-
velopment of pneumonia, tubercu-
losis and diseases Of the kidneys, eyes
and ears, it should be feared and
avoided.
3. Looking on measles as a neces-
sary disease of childhood is a grave
mistake that has cost many lives.
4. A mild case of measles in your
home may cause a fatal case in your
neighbours home.
5. Early diagnosis, reporting and
proper isolation of case are neces-
sary to check the spread of measles
and to protect the children.

MORGAN GETS
STAR MAIL ROUTE

Morgan residents are now enjoying
better mail service as result of the
star mail route which has been es-
tablished between Morgan and Way
burne on the Sleepy Eye-Marshall
branch line. Postmaster Pollard, in
charge of mail service at Morgan, re-
ceived word last week from the Post
Office Department at Washington,
giving him full authority to start the
mail route, pending the establishment
of a permanent star route.
The service was to begin last Mon
day, February 20, or as soon there
after as the chief railway mail clerk
could work out the schedule of
pouching. The dispatch of mail has
been set at 3 p. m. and the receipt OF
mail about 80 minutes after the ar
rival of the Sleepy Eye Marshall
train at Wayburne. The train is due
there at 1886 o'clock.
Dan Zimmerman OF Morgan has
been engaged as carrier and there is
no doubt but that the route will soon
become a permanent matter. The or.
der restores most of the mail service
that was lost when the afternoon
Sleepy Eye Redwood train was dis.
continued last year.
The proposition for a star mai
route at Morgan started last yeal
soon after the afternoon train was
discontinued. Now that temporary
service has been established it is
quite likely that inspectors will be
detailed to visit the postoffice at Nor
gan and personally investigate mat
tiers before arrangements are made
for a permanent route.

n. SchOuveIler, Resident of Nor
gan Community for Forty
Years. Dies Last Week.

In the death of Nicholas Schouvel-
Ter, which occurred at the Loretta
hospital, New Ulm, early Saturday
morning, the Morgan community lost
one of it's pioneer settlers and high
ly respected citizen.
On January % he was taken to the
Loretto hospital at New Ulm, and
was operated on for chronic appen-
dicitis January 2Sth. On the 4th OF
February, he suffered a relapse and
last Thursday underwent second OPP
Grafton, from which he never rallied
passing away Saturday.
His funeral held at st. Michaele
church Tuesday morning was per-
haps the largest funeral ever held
at that edifice, which was a tribute
to the high esteem in which he was
held. Rev. FIR. Gerstl officiated. The
st. Michaers Society of Morgan and
the Sleepy Eye and ST. Paul Courts
of Foresters marched to the cemetery
to accompany their beloved brother
to his last resting place. The pail
bearers were Wenzel and Nicholas
Wintheiser, Joseph Seifert, Henry
Reding, Adam Goblirsch and Joseph
Fischer.
Mr.. Schouveller came to this neigh
borhood in 1887 from Nicollet county
and for over forty years had resided
on a farm north of town.
Because of his jovial disposition
and his sunny outlook on life, COM
l. ,,,na1{h of
Mr.. Schouveller had endeared himself
to hundreds of friends who felt a
pang of regret at hearing of his pass
ing. He had always been an active
and energetic man, both mentally and
physically, who had been i'll only a
brief time, and it seems to his friends
untimely that he should be removed
from the active circles of life. How
ever, he was in his 73rd year.
Nicholas Schouveller was born May
q, 1855, at Portsmouth, Wisconsin.
His parents were Mr.. and Mrs. Math
Schouveller. At the age of IL he
came to Minnesota and located in
Nicollet county. In September, 1880,
he was united in marriage with Mary
Virginia Koelfgen in the Middle Lake
Catholic church. He then lived in
CRANKY township, Nicollet county, for
seven years after which he and his
family came to Morgan, which COM
munity was just beginning to become
settled up in good shape.
Besides his devoted wife, he is sur
vived by ten sons and daughters.
Four children have passed on. The
living are Matthias of Ogema, Mimi;
Adam of Mahnomen, Catherine, Mrs.
Joseph Sonntag, st. Paul; Henry, ST..
Paul; Bernard, Richmond; Elizabeth,
Mrs. Frank Zins, Nicollet; Michael
and Edward, Morgan. All children
were present at the funeral. He is
also survived by three sisters, four
brothers, A grandchildren and three
great grand children. The sisters
are Mrs. Adam Jungers, Sleepy Eye;
Mrs. Susan Grimes, North Dakota;
Mrs. Jas. Lynch, Minneapolis, and the
brothers, Math, New Ulm; Michael,
