Sunday afternoon, and at Obids,
Sunday night. A number of
churches served by Rev. John w.
Luke will also have special SER
vices, as will other churches of
other denominations throughout

The children will not be for

plenty of eggs too, as one local
merchant who will sell the eggs
colored, has already taken orders

Dog Takes Lead
In Finding Lost Boy
Blue Earth-Richard, six-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Everett John
son, of Frost, has his dog to thank
for really helping him out of a
tight spot. When Richard was
reported lost about $3.50 p. m. rec
emily the whole town turned out
to search for him. Several hours
search brought no result but at
10:30 p. m. the fire departments
crew found Richard whose clothes
had become caught in a fence. The
dog had stood close by his pal and
his bright eyes spotted by the men
on the fire truck caused them to
turn spotlights in his direction.
Richard returned home none the
worse for his experience.
Model Plane
Flys 10 Miles
Highland Village-Jesse Parson,
Jr., was glad to get back his model
plane after it had wandered nine
teen miles from home. Wallace

miles south of Minneapolis had

He called the happy owner who
had placed his name and telephone

ed to eat or drink for several days.

and the operation was performed.
An incision a foot long was made.
after the animal was given an
anesthetic and the foreign obstacle
turned out to be a piece of rusty
wire about four inches long. The
wire was removed, the stomach
lining sewed up and the cow is now
good as new.

Yields Gold
Sleepy Eye-Workmen at a rock

for excitement as the vein is a
small one and the only indication
of such a deposit in many tons of
rock. About thirty-five years ago
New Ulm experienced a real gold
rush." but excitement subsidized
when it was found that there was
only a small deposit like that at
Sleepy Eye.
Saws Into Horseshoe
Claremont-Louie Madsen, while
saving a forty-eight inch cotton
wood log at the Ed Rohloff farm,
ran into a horseshoe and ruined
the teeth in the saw. The shoe
was close to the center of the log
and it is believed the tree is fifty
years old. Apparently the horse
shoe had been nailed to a small
tree and the trunk had grown
about it. The shoe was recognized
as being handmade and the work
manship of Ed Owen, a blacksmith
in this village fifty years ago.

The characteristics which stand out
in a Democracy are freedom of Reli-
gion, freedom of the Press, freedom OF
Assembly, and the right to choose
whatever form of Government may be
decided upon by vote Of the people.
These principles guarantee the free
dom of Association, which includes the
right of Labor to organize. The char
acteristics which stand out in the Des
potisms of the world are the negations
or opposites of these principles, all OF
which result in Tyranny. And dissent
is given no voice in a Despotism. e.
The conflict fsSe CeAtHsy betM
Democracy and Despotism isrnow on.
At the present it is confinedsto coun-
tries across the seas. There is no guar
antee that this conflict may not reach
the Western Hemisphere. No man can
tell what day may bring forth. This
is no time to take a chance with any
party or group which may drive us in
to such a conflict, either through prop
aganda methods or through the secret
betrayal of our country.
While we, as a people, may choose
whatever form of government we
want, we will not tolerate the highly
organized movements now in oper-
alton which seek to disrupt our Gov
ernment through unlawful methods,
embarass our law-enforcing agencies
in the performance of their legitimate
duties, stir up the people to commit
acts of sabotage, and create anarchy
and disorder among all classes through
subversive practices.
For the accomplishment of their
purpose they have honey-combed our
industrial plants with agitators, sys-
tematically trained thousands of
speakers and leaders through whom
they seek to capture the labor move
ment, developed widely distributed
press and general literature, organized
radical youth movements, and set up
concrete program for the promotion
of general disorder.
They have perfected powerful or
CARNATIONS which owe supreme allegi.
ance to foreign countries and to alier
influences whose major purpose it is
to create revolutionary movement
which will affect every nation in the
world-including our own-and this is
to be accomplished through treachery
righteousness, sabotage and universe
lawlessness.
Concerning such there can be bu
one attitude. Their motives and theil
methods, their camouhage and hy
pocrisy should be revealed, so that W.
may know them for what they are
not for what they pretend to be. Thi
should be done through every legiti
mate method at our command. Organ
lied Labor should lead in this cam
paign-Labor which represents ever.
race, creed, and color in America-fol
in the last analysis, Labor has most a
stake in this conflict. 1t stands t.
lose all that it has gained in hun
dred years. If it should develop tina
America is drawn into this conflict
which we pray may not happen-th
workers of our country will stand by
but even now let us deal with tn
'enemy" already within our gates.

In addition, the union will be con-

The Patternmakers League and the

Victories for the U. A. WA. F. Of

Officials of the union said these vic
