UNITED WAR DRIVE WILL COME NEXT

The Campaign For United War Activities to Begin NOT. 11

on Schedule Time. The United War Work Campaign

in every part of the country starts on Monday, Nov 11, and continues thru-out that week in an effort to raise over 170 millions dollars for the needs, of seven organizations which each perform a distinct service among our boys "over there."

Our county has been asked to take a part in this commendable effort and for this purpose committees will take up the task in every precinct in the county a week from next Monday.

These committee men are serving without compensation and should be received by all with a SOLDIER'S SALUTE. Receive them kindly and treat them generously and courte­ously when they call on yon. Be pre­pared to do your bit and do it with a smile.

The United drive will eliminate much duplication of effort and the pro­ceeds will be divided among the seven war activities on the basis which has been agreed upon, and has been ap­proved by those in authority. We must forget political and religious differ­ences, as do the men on the battle field. They are sacrificing their all, regardless of class or group distinc­tions.

Our county's quota is placed at $35,000, and we will again go over the top as we have in all former ef­forts. Let us all get back of this great work and bring it to a successful con­clusion.

Yours for a good cause, J. F. Millard, chairman Geo. H. Otterness, secretary F. G. Handy, treasurer.

MRS; OSCAR ERICKSON. The ranks of the old pioneers of

the county are thinning fast. Among those who have passed away during the last week is Mrs. Oscar Erickson, whose maiden name was Gertrude Enderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lars Enderson. The father was one of the victims in the Indian outbreak, and the .mother was. a heroine who saved the lives of Solomon Foot and Oscar Erickson by her heroic conduct in those perilous days. Mrs. Erick­son was born in Hardanger, Norway, May 6, 1840. Died October 22, 1918. She had been ailing for the last five years, Ibut confined to her bed for six weeks when she suffered a stroke of paralysis which was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Erickson's childhood days were spent in Norway. At the age of twelve years she came with her parents to America. They settled on a claim on the north shore of Solomon Lake in 1857. She was Married to Oscar Erickson in March 1859. Part of their married life was spent in Meeker county.

The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The pall bearers were the five sons of the deceased and her grandchild, Almont McDonald, of Min­neapolis.

QUESTIONABLE FALSE MAN IS HELD IN JAIL

A -̂rega3-**iant who registered June 1917 and filed his questionaire Jan. 4, 1918, and in theNsame claimed defer­red classification on the ground of dependency is now being held by the authorities on the charge of falsify­ing his questionaire. Likewise the woman who spported the affidavit in question is being. brought fromT South Dakota to appear before the Court here and answer a similar charge.

The authorities believe that it is high time that something be done to punish those who have no respect for their oath, as several cases of per­jury by registrants in making out questionaires have been discovered.

The families of men in service abroad have been longing for some means of making Christmas over seas as merry a one as the conditions per­mit. Sensing this desire the War De­partment has decided that each man may receive (from his family) a Christ­mas package of standard size and weight and approximately standard contents.

An arrangement has been completed by the War Department Post Office Department and the American Red Cross whereby the latter has under­taken to co-operate in the preparation for mailing these Christmas parcels and to simplify the execution of this plan a large number-of especially manufactured cardboard cartons have been purchased which will be distri­buted through the Chapters to the relatives and friends of men in'serv­ice.

The following will perhaps summar­ize the plan and give such information as needed.

Who furnishes the Christmas boxes for soldiers and sailors abroad? Ans. The local Red Cross Chapter.

When may I get a Xmas box to send to a soldier? Ans. After November First.

How? Ans. By presenting to the Red Cross Chapter Committee the Christmas parcel label from the sol­dier in service over seas.

Where do I get this box? Ans. At the Red Cross Headquarters in the Masonic Temple, Willmar, Minnesota any day except Sunday from two to five P. M., after November 1st.

Must I have a Red Cross box? Ans. No, any box not larger than 3"x4"x9" may be used.

What may be sent In the box? Ans. Anything not barred by the Post 0% flee regulations.

How much can it weigh? Not to exceed 3 lbs., Including We bazc

May I mail It myself? Ans. No, When filled it must be taken back to the Red Cross Headquarters where it will be inspected by inspectors ap­pointed by the Chapter, there weighed, wrapped and tied.

Do I pay the postage? Yes, but the sender pays the .postage to Hoboken, New Jersey the regular parcel post rate which is 28c-for. threes-bounds..

May I put in written message? Ans. No. This is strictly prohibited and if put in a box they will have to be removed. (Parcel Post rule).

May I send a box if I have no label from a soldier? Ans. No. No box can be accepted without the label.

May more than one box be sent to i one soldier? No, the government says * there is shipping room space for just so many boxes, one to each soldier.

When may I send a box? Ans. On or before November 20th. Positively no box can be accepted for mailing after that date.

Who made these rules? Ans. The War Department, Post Office Depart­ment and the American Red Cross have co-operated in this work. These instructions are positive and final and no exception can be made in any case.

Diflerent requirements for the Navy are issued by the Naval Department. Packages forwarded by parcel post must/be enclosed in substantial boxes with hinged or screwed top covers to facilitate opening and inspecting. Boxes shipped by express are limited to 20 pounds in weight, should not measure more than 2 cubic feet in volume and should be made of wood, well strapped.

No perishable food products except those enclosed in cans or glass jars should be packed for shipment. No mail matter should be enclosed in

Hhese packages. The package must be plainly marked with the address of the sender, together with a nota­tion as to the nature of contents.'

The supply officer at New York will inspect each package and nothing ex­plosive or other prohibitive matter will be forwarded. A shipment of Christmas packages for abroad should reach New York positively not later than November 15th. All articles bar­red by the Post Office must be exclud­ed from these boxes.

Articles barred by Postal regula­tions:

All spirtuous liquors. Poisons and all articles and compo­

sitions containing poisons. Explosives of all kinds. Inflamable materials, including mat-

CllGS Infernal machines and mechanical,

chemical or other devices or composi­tions which may ignite or explode. This classification would exclude some cigarette lighters.

Liquids and fragile articles. All other articles which may kjU

or in any way hurt, harm o£ injure another.

Bear this in mind, nothing should go into a Christmas parcel which will not keep fresh from time of packing until Xmas. Dried fruits and food products, hard candy, would be accept­able. Soft chocolates or any candy that could be crushed might be spoil­ed. Delicacies might be packed in oblong tin boxes. No liquids or arti­cles packed in glass should, be placed in the package.

HIS TRUCK WAS WRECKED BY A SHELL ON THEfRONT

Private Chester L. Nelson is at his home at Willmar, that of County Aud­itor and Mrs. Samuel Nelson, on a thirty day furlough from the Base Hos­pital at Lakewood, New Jersey, where he is under treatment for an injury to his left arm sustained while driving an ammunition truck up near the bat­tle front at Toul, France.

Chester is the first 'Kandiyohi boy to return to his home after seeing actual service in France, and he is very busy calling on his friends and tel l ing them of the. many wonderful experiences he has made since last at Willmar.

Chester volunteered soon after war was declared and left here as a boy. He returned to us every inch a man and soldier, and looks well in spite of his injury. He never wrote his par­ents that he was injured at the front, but camouflaged by stating that he had fallen from a hay loft. He. be­lieved his mother would have worried more had she known the truth.

While on his way to the Battery with a load of ammunition, a shell struck and burst, wrecking the truck. He was thrown to the ground with the result that his left arm was fractured and a splinter from the truck was driven into it. He is slowly recov­ering the use of his arm and hand. He will return to the hospital about November 5th, unless his furlough should be extended.

Chester's one regret is that he has missed participating in the stirring events on the battle line that have occurred since he was wounded.

Tho the official orders have not as yet reached the local board it is the general un­derstanding that the two calls of 70 men for Camp Forrest, Georgia and 80 for Camp Cody, Texas, will leave at that time.

The campaign for funds for the fire sufferers put on in the city during the week, thru the committee appoint­ed by the Commercial Club has so far resulted in the raising of a sum ap­proximating $2,300.
