 The Five Liberty Loan Campaigns

 vice Chairman. 
 
 The First Liberty Loan 
 
 Oil the nioriiiiig of .\pril 6, 1917, the people of Pipestone Countj awoke with 
 the rest of the nation to find the United States of .\nierica at war with Germany. 
 At the request of President Wilson, Congress had declared war in the early hours 
 of April 6th. Ever3' well informed American was convinced that Congress had done 
 the only thing possible for a self-respecting and lilierty loving nation to do. and 
 tliat it was to ])e a war to the end. Two forces were in deadly conflict, two forces 
 tliat could not live together in the same world. 
 
 Every true American in Pipestone County at once set himself to the task of 
 doing his best to win the war for civil liberty and civic righteousness, l-^acli gave 
 himself without reserve to the cause of his country — the cause of humanity. That 
 is, he thought so. and he intended to be honest in his thinking. Indeed he was 
 honest. Yet it is doubtful whether any one of us fully understood the meaning 
 of devotion to country and to humanity. We were very much in sympathy with 
 the theorj' of the phrase "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." but in the 
 first stages of the war we fell short in practice. We did not intend to do so, but 
 nevertheless we did do so, and whatever may be vvrillen here, let it be truthful. 
 
 In our minds we had set a pace for ourselves. We entertained certain notions 
 as to what ought to be e-xpectcd of us in a financial way. We measured our respon- 
 sibility. We fixed the circle of our obligations, as we thought, somewhat beyond 
 the limits of any just and proportionate demand the Government might make upon 
 us. And then came the first surprise! Our first rude shock! We had set the pace 
 too slow! What we thought was our full duty: what we had counted as a generosity 
 approaching the sacrificial, a generosity which the Government would delight to 
 see, we found to be less than our share and learned that we had used the wrong 
 yard-stick in the attempt to measure our duty. 
 
 The Government asked us for a loan of $225,000 to be used for the winning of 
 the war. We winced at the request and actually loaned the Government $101,900. 
 We thought tlie figure was too high. We persuaded ourselves the Government was 
 unreasonable in its dealings with Pipestone County; that it had taken advantage 
 of our patriotic fervor and more than doubled our apportionment. Hence we did 
 not "go over the top." We loaned just a little less than 45.3% of the amount the 
 Government asked us for. And yet our hearts were right. The trouble was all in

 First Liberty Loan Campaign — Cont'd 
 
 our heads, W c had not calcidatod with suftkient care. And we were just beginnin<T 
 We were not organized. Our canvass was on the haphazard and hit and miss plan 
 We banked too much on the spontaneous res])onse of men who were not easy to 
 reach and converse with. The responses did not materiahze and hence the canvass 
 was quite incomplete. 
 
 But the First Liberty Loan canvass was a great help to us. In it we learned 
 that every true American was willing to do his duty or even more than his duty 
 While many good men had underestimated their obfigation they were all eager to 
 know and to do their part. There was really no precedent to guide them And 
 no one was able to tell them. No one knew. We had not been careful enough 
 w o"r calculations. We were dwelling in the region of "glittering generalities" 
 We had not reached the "brass tacks" stage, but the canvass gave us a lot of prac- 
 tical information. It taught us the necessity of education, organization and the 
 most thorough and complete work in any and all succeeding canvasses We were 
 determined that American wealth and energy should be devoted to the winnin<r of 
 the war. And although we did not allow the 54.7% deficit of the First Loan to 
 disturb our sleep, yet we did resolve then and there that we were through with 
 deficits forever, and that in every following canvass Pipestone County would do 
 what the Nation did in the first one, i. e.. go over the top at full speed ahead toward 
 the Cjerman trenches. 
 
 Second Liberty Loan 
 
 When the Ninth District officials announced Pipestone Countv's allotment for 
 the Second Liberty Loan, they placed the figures at $425,000, nearlv donble the 
 figures of the first one in face of the fact that we had subscribed but '45 3% of the 
 hrst. And we really began to wonder what the outcome wonld he. It looked like 
 a huge undertaking. Even this time some of us asked almost under our breath 
 whether someone had not made a mistake. Four hundred twenty-five thousand 
 dollars! Could we make it? "Indeed we can and we will," said the men at the 
 head, 'n the county, and in the several towns and precints. We were getting squared 
 away. We were better able to determine the measure of our obligations. We had 
 a clearer understanding. We were seeing things in a clearer light. And besides 
 we were on our mettle. We organized educational campaigns in the towns and 
 townships. All over the county men got into the game and took up the work with 
 vigor. No stone was left unturned. 
 
 The county was raked as with a fine tooth comb, and at the closing hour of 
 the closing day our reports left us about $38,000 short of our goal! But we had set 
 our faces like flint against any further deficits and were determined that Pipestone 
 County should report the purchase of her full quota. A joint bond subscribed by 
 a lew men who had been the hardest workers and the heaviest purchasers in the 
 canvass, brought us up to the full amount and enabled us to report the purchase 
 ot the entire quota. Belated reports increased this total bv $14,750, so that we are 
 credited with the^ purchase of $439,750 on our supposed to be $425,000 allotment 
 And then some time later we found out that the men in high places occasionally 
 get their mathematics slightly mixed and that the real quota intended for Pipestone 
 County for the Second Liberty Loan was $325,000! Thus the figures show that 
 we oversubscribed, not $14,750 but $114,750. Though while the canvass was on we 
 were straining every nerve and going the limit in the determination to break even 
 
 Third Liberty Loan 
 
 After the experience of the canvasses for the first and second h.ans it was 
 rietermined that the county organization should be still further strengthened and 
 pertccted and that every honorable means should he employed to enlist the money 
 made m America on American farms and in American industries and professions to 
 equip the American army for the work of whipping the Kaiser and saving the 
 nation and the world. With Mr. S. B. Duea as County Chairman and the Rev Joseph 
 Mangan as Vice Chairman an organization was eflFected so complete in its details and 
 so strong m its personnel that it became next to impossible for any citizen of Pipe- 
 stone County to escape without meeting at least a measure of his responsibility 
 
 1 recinct committees were duly appointed, and under the allotment plan which 
 prevailed until after the last canvass had been completed Pipestone County never 
 failed to subscribe a tine surplus. Allotment committees did not presume to go 
 into absolute detail m determining the exact wealth of Pipestone County men But 
 they were, in the main, men of fine Americanism with an abiding sense of the fair- 
 ness and the justice of things. Moreover they were men who, "though not unduly 
 officious, were able to estimate approximatelv the standing of their neighbors They 
 *'"'/,,•! M-- '" ^^^'^ individual allotments. Of course they were human and 
 
 infallibility is not one of the qualities of men. No doubt thev made some mistakes 
 hut what men do not make mistakes? Some assessments may have been too hi-rh

 and others too low. But no one askcfl in vain for a lair and equitable adjustment 
 of his allotment. While several objected to the amount assigned them on the 
 ground that it was too high, there wore many who vnluntarily subscribed more than 
 their allotment. 
 
 It was the desire of the County Central Committee that when all the canvasses 
 should be complete and the Kaiser whiijped the record should show a just and 
 fair proportion of bonds purchased by each American. If the final record showing 
 the nimiber of bonds purchased by each one in the five sales docs not prove this 
 just proportion, the fault is not due the allotment committee in any consequential jj 
 
 degree. 
 
 Our allotment for the Third Loan was $480,000. Our subscription was $681,000. 
 
 Fourth Liberty Loan 
 
 When the time came to make the canvass for the I'durth Liberty Loan the 
 County organization was ready. The machinery was complete and the organization 
 intact. The preliminary work of the allotment committees had been so well and 
 so thoroughly done that subscriptions came rapidly through the mails the first 
 day of the period assigned by the Government for the canvass to be made. We 
 were getting our stride and were going strong. Somewhat like the boys who, having 
 turned the tide at Chauteu Thierry, were rushing the Kaiser's pets back toward the 
 Rhine. Our speed boded ill for the enemy. Even the American babies got into 
 the swing and the spirit, and we led a merry chase. 6,927 strong. Sixty-nine and 
 nine-tenths per cent of our population fired our bond purchase .guns into the ranks 
 of the emaciated and starving enemy and they sued for peace. The end was in 
 sight. We had played the jiart of .Americans. All of us from baby to grandparents. 
 We also helped to carrv the load of the fire sufferers. The Nation asked us for 
 $870,000 and we loaned $l,06.=i.800. .\nd the Good Ship Pipestone County will carry 
 the news around the world, proclaiming in the ports of the Old World as well as 
 the New that Pipestone County heads the list of all the counties in the Ninth Dis- 
 trict in the i)ro|)ortionate number of bond purchasers in the Fourth Liberty Loan 
 canvass. 
 
 The Fifth or \ ictory Loan 
 
 The war was over and we had a few more bills to pay. In this instance as in 
 the case of the Third and Fourth Loans the work was largely committee and clerical 
 work. The Government had given us the franking privilege just as in the previous 
 cases. Allotments were made and sent to the people. .\s in the previous loans 
 some thought their allotment too high. Others thought them rather high but paid 
 without a whimper. Some thought their allotment too low and raised it of their 
 own accord. Others thought the allotment too low. yet kejit quiet and paid simply 
 what had been assigned them. Uncle Sam asked ns for $675,000. We said. "Be con- 
 tent. Uncle, and take $770,300." .And with a twinkle in his eye and gratitude in his 
 heart he took it.

 The County Safety Commission 
 
 John Gray, Chairman 
 
 One of the wide awake organizations of the county was the County Safety 
 Commission. The Commission was appointed by the Governor, and was charged 
 with the work of suppressing sedition and of being on the lookout for enemies of 
 the government. The members kept themselves informed on the condition of things 
 throughout the county, knowing the attitude of practically every citizen and what 
 each one was doing to support the government and the army. 
 
 Pipestone County can feel proud indeed that the largest percentage of the inhab- 
 itants of its farming, business and professional circles were loyal to their state and 
 country.

 Commission:

Woman's Commission of Public Safety 
 
 By Grace B. 1 lanscn, C^ountv Chairman 
 
 The Woman's Coniniittee of llio Minnesota Commission of Puiilic Safety came 
 into existence in May, 1917, when the State Committee of sixteen women was ap- 
 pointed with authority to organize the women of the state for all forms of war work. 
 This committee was at the same time authorized by the National Council of Defense, 
 according to a plan adopted for the whole nation. 
 
 The State Committee appointed a chairman in each county. The County Chair- 
 man for Pipestone County, Mrs. Grace P. Hanson, was appointed in June. 1917. and 
 she in turn appointed local chairmen for the different communities of the county as 
 follows: .Airlie, Miss Marion Farmer; .Altona, Mrs. M. McCurdy; Cazenovia, Mrs. 
 K. Long': F.dgcrton. .Mrs. J. Lee I'.aldwin; Hatfield, Miss ^\'inifred Pease; Holland, 
 Mrs. John Toutjes; Jasper, Mrs. Win. Lowe; Pipestone. Mrs.. Alva Morrison; Ruth- 
 ton, Airs. A. Evanson; Trosky, Mrs. L. Dietmeyer; Woodstock. Mrs. Geo. Molina. 
 .Ml work undertaken was in accordance with directions sent out from Washington 
 by the National Council of Defense. 
 
 The first active work was to secure pledges to the so-called Hoover pledge, 
 promising economy in the use of fats, sugar, wheat and meat. Following this cam- 
 paign .Mrs. J. K. Campbell was appointed Food Conservation Cliairman and all county 
 work in the line of food conservation was done muler her direction. 
 
 Americanization work and education in patriotism were carried on under the 
 supervision of the school teachers of the county and they also helped in all publicity 
 work where necessary to create public sentiment for the special drives of war work. 
 Little Citizens' Leagues were organized in nearly every school. 
 
 The commission also assisted in procuring a survey of the number of women in 
 our different industries and the kind of employment in which each was engaged. 
 
 In reference to the Liberty Loans, our women were asked to assist in the educa- 
 tional campaigns but did very little personal soliciting for money, on account of the 
 allotment system used in this county. One-fourth of all Loan sales were credited 
 to the Woman's Committee, and in the lirst four loans, Pipestone County had the 
 largest women's per capita record in the state. 
 
 In response to the government's request to list young women to take training 
 for nurses, several applications were sent in to Washington through the solicitation 
 of Miss Dorothy Briggs. 
 
 Two different Y. W. C. A. drives were carried on. and in all, four hundred dollars 
 was raised. The following helpers assisted in these drives: I'ipestone, the Misses 
 Ksthcr Meyers, Ora Knglebart, Dorothy Xash. Kuth Xash. Janet Hrown, Carrie 
 Winters. Eva Wakefield, Vera Boehmke, Vera Petersen, Lorna Rogers, .-Mica Tib- 
 betts and Olive Pierce: Woodstock, Mrs. Geo. Moline, assisted by Miss Esther Shaf- 
 fer and Miss Pearl Rokcs. In Holland the allotment was raised by the Little Citizens' 
 League; in .\ltona by the I-adies' .\id Society; Trosky by Miss Marion Griffin: Hat-

 Baldwin was assisted by the Kensington Club, the Young Ladies of the Dutch Re- 
 formed church, the Ladies' Aid of the Dutch Reformed church, the Ladies' Aid of 
 the Christian Reformed church and the Presbyterians Ladies' Aid Society. 
 
 There were few changes in the personnel of the county organization, but the 
 death of Mrs. Dietmeyer left the work in Trosky to be directed by Mrs. Helen Grif- 
 fin, and Mrs. I^owe's removal from Jasper made Mrs. George Smiley chairman in her 
 place. 
 
 The Armenian Relief 
 Drive 
 
 G. S. Boehmke, Chairman 
 
 The .Armenian Relief Drive in Pipestone County was held during the week jje- 
 ginning February 2, 1919. The purpose of the drive was to secure funds for the 
 relief of the sulTering .Armenians, Syrians, Greeks and other refugees of the Near 
 East. G. S. Boehmke of Pipestone was named county chairman. The conditions dur- 
 ing the week of the drive were very unfavorable, due to mclement weather and the 
 prevalence of the influenza epidemic, but the sum of $3,800.00 was raised nevertheless. 
 Following were the committeemen:

 Tile Food Conservation Dcpartmcnl was well looked after at tlie beRinning of 
 its organization by S. B. Duea. wbo was appointed its first chairnian in 1917. Later 
 Mr. Dnca's work as cbairnian of the Liberty Loan Committee became so heavy 
 that he reijuested the appointment of another man to succeed him in the Food Con- 
 servation department. Mr. R. A. Ilydc sncceedcd him as chairnian, receiving the 
 appointment in May, 1918. 
 
 The pnrpose of this department was to prevent all unnecessary food waste; 
 to compel the use of substitutes: to regulate the sale of food; to restrict the purchase 
 of certain staple articles, such as Hour and sugar; to limit the amount that might 
 be kept on hand in any home, or in stock by any merchant, or in any store; to know 
 just about the condition of the larder in any home in the county. 
 
 The work was carefully attended to, particularly after the necessity had fully 
 dawned upon the consciousness of many of the people, and as Chairman Hyde stated, 
 as soon as the matter was fully explained, the majority of people aci|uicsccd gladly 
 to the rulings. 
 
 \\hcn Mr. Hyde went to California in the fall of 1918. Mr. C. D. DufFus was 
 appointed to succeed him. The date of Mr, DufTiis' appointment was October 23. 
 1918.

 Sixty-nine and nino-tcnths per cent of Pipestone County's popnlation purchased 
 Liberty Bonds of the p'onrtii issue. .\s a result of this record purchase Pipestone 
 County led the nation in per capita sales. The Ninth Federal Reserve district, 
 
 comprising the States of Minnesota, Upper Michigan, jNIontana, North Dakota, South 
 Dakota and Wisconsin, lead the United States in the Fourth Loan, in the largest 
 number of sales of bonds. Pipestone County ranked first in the Ninth district. 
 Wheatland county, Montana, ranked second with a percentage of 55. and Nobles 
 county, Minnesota, ranked third with a percentage of 46.8. As a mark of recognition 
 of the splendid efforts of the people of this county, the Federal Liberty Loan board 
 ruled that one of the ships in course of construction at the Hog Island Navy Yard, 
 at Philadelphia, Pa., should be christened "The Pipestone County." Miss Lois Gaither, 
 one of the Liberty Loan committee workers of Pipestone, was named to act as 
 sponsor. The launching of "The Pipestone Count}'" occurred during the afternoon 
 of Memorial Day, May 30th, 1919. Those who were present from this county to

 The following lines by Rev. Jos. Man.^an of Pipestone were recited by him upon 
 the occasion of the lannchin.c; of the S. S. Pipestone County: 
 
 Columbia! in thy hour of need 
 Thy cry was heard by valiant sons 
 Who swore their dearest veins to bleed 
 As mustering at the boom of guns, 
 From Atlantic to Pacific shore 
 To thy defense thy patriots pour. 
 
 From farm, from ofiice and from mart. 
 Seel thy sons of freedom start. 
 One lixed rescdve is in their heart — 
 To li\'e iir die f(n' homeland. 
 
 No coward child was born of thee, 
 No traitor base, rocked on thy knee. 
 No craven slave e'er suckled thee, 
 God's free and chosen daughter. 
 
 Our lives, our worth, our honor — all 
 We pledged thee at thy pfercmg call. 
 No hireling host shall thee enthrall 
 While filial love attend thee. 
 
 From north to south, from east to west 
 Our serried ranks our love attest, 
 
 One only hope burns in our breast. 
 Great God of Right, befriend thee. 
 
 Freedom's our home' Freedom our right. 
 Free men we fall! As free men — fight, 
 In love for all — free of all spite 
 I^or inborn rights of man. 
 
 All heard the cry — but some more true 
 .\nd Pipestone led — amongst the few 
 Who reached beyond their duty, 
 Columbia, grateful in this hour. 
 Has named her battleship of power 
 The "Pipestone" as her guerdon. 
 
 So long as floats my banner free 
 
 .\t home, abroad, or on the sea. 
 
 Great God of battles, hear my plea 
 
 As I award it. 
 
 Send Pipestone men of noble heart 
 
 Ready to do a yeoman's part 
 
 .\nd Pipestone men to guard it.

 (T. E. Nash, F. E. Cogswell, last registration.) 
 
 The registration in June, 1917, showed that Pipestone County had 1,085 men of 
 military age. Of these 339 were in Class T, 117 in Class II, 71 in Class III, 405 in 
 Class IV, and 153 in Class V. Of the men in Class I 294 were inducted and sent' 
 to cainp, two were general service men available for future calls, sixteen were limited 
 service men available for future calls, two were placed in the remediable group, two 
 in the emergency fleet, six were delin<|uent, but there were no deserters. 
 
 The registration of June, 1918, listed 110 men who had attained their majority 
 within the year. Eighty-one in Class I, 11 in Class II, one in Class III, 3 in Class 
 IV and 14 in Class V. Of these 41 were inducted and sent to camp, 2T were gen- 
 eral service men available for future calls, 7 were limited service men available for 
 future calls and one was delinquent. Twenty-six men who had attained the age of 
 21 since June 5. 1918, registered on August 24, 1918. 
 
 At the September, 1918, registration all men between the ages of 18 and 21 
 and also between the ages of 31 and ^7 were required to register. The total number 
 in this registration was 741. Of these, 304 were placed in Class I, 104 in Class II, 
 20 in Class III, 273 in Class IV and 38 in Class V. Ninety-three of the older men in 
 Class I were general service, and 7 of them were limited service men, available for 
 future calls. One was placed in the remediable group, while 15 of them and 4 of 
 the youn.ger men were inducted and sent to camp. 
 
 In addition to this there were 622 registrants between the ages of 37 and 45, 
 making a grand total of 2.582 registrants in Pipestmie County from June. 1917, to 
 September, 1918, between the ages of 18 and 45. Miss Alice Hagedorn was the effi- 
 cient clerk and stenographer of the board, during a large part of its existence. 
 
 Dr. G. F. Schmidt early enlisted in the Medical Corps of the Army, and when 
 he received his commission Dr. 11. I). Jenckes was appointed to take his place on 
 the registration or draft board. Somewhat later the County Auditor, jMr. Tad. A. 
 Bailey, was compelled to resign on account of the heavy stress and strain of the 
 work in connection with the increasingly exacting labors of the Auditor's office. 
 Upon his resignation j\lr. Alva Morrison was appointed in his stead and Messrs. 
 Shepherd. Jenckes and Morrison stayed by the guns through thick and thin, and 
 were right on the job when the German government wrote "finis" at the end of the 
 closing chapter; when the beaten army started across the Rhine and our victorious 
 lads turned and looked with longing eyes towards God's country on this side of the 
 sea. The boys did a fine job and they had no better nor truer friends than the 
 niembers of the registration board who worked day after day, and night after night 
 in their efforts to do their best for the American Army and deal "fairly with all 
 concerned.

 work in the factories, for work on the farms, and for other essential industries, as 
 well as finding employment for soldiers as fast as they were mustered out of the

 securing the necessary data and placing the employers and employes in connection 
 with each other. The board, under Chairman Cogswell's cajiable direction, did ex- 
 cellent work, which resulted in considerable benefit for the parties having occasion to 
 use the services of the organization.

 continuously until April 1, 1919. with the same committee.

 The America First Association 
 
 Hon. W. C. Bnggs, (x)i.int\ Chairman 
 
 In the winter of 1917 the America First committee was appointed and its cam- 
 paign launched in. Pipestone County. The key note of this campaign was loyalt}'. 
 Loyalty to the nation which, the workers were careful to explain, meant loyalty to 
 the Army and to every law that had passed and every agency at work to strengthen 
 and etiuip the Army. It was believed that there were some who were not well 
 informed on the great world issues and did not appreciate the dangers threatening 
 the nation and its people. 
 
 Mendiership in the America First Associati'Mi involved the signing of a very

 brief (Icclaraliiiii of loyalty. An AssociatioJi fee of 50 cents was also charged, the 
 money being used for stationery, buttons, cards, stenographic work and other inci- 
 dental expenses connected with the campaign of education. All speakers gave their 
 time freely, while a host of other men furnished automobiles and gasoline to run 
 them, entirely free of charge. 
 
 Hon. W. C. Briggs. as chairman of the .\nicrica First County Committee, had 
 charge of the campaign of education and selecti'd sjjeakers and made appointments 
 for practically every school district in the county. .At these meetings speakers 
 presented the open facts. They reminded the peo|>lc that the L'nited States was 
 at war; that however peaceably inclined the nation might be. the situation demanded 
 a declaration of war by the Coiigress of the United Slates. The people were urged 
 to get under the national burden, to maintain the Red Cross by their membership, 
 their contributions and their labors, to purchase Liberty Ronds, to support the 
 V. M. C. A., and the associated organizations in the United War .\gencics. 
 
 The campaign was most successful, people joining the organization Ijy the 
 hundreds until the membership ran into the thousands, and the instructions and 
 pleadings of the speakers were responded to in a manner that was good to see. 
 
 In harmony with the America First spirit a list of minute men for the county 
 was compiled, and these men were called on from time to time to briefly present 
 and boost for the enterprises having to do with the great war. 
 
 Besides this many of the minute men along with numerous other citizens went 
 into the harvest fields to help take care of the grain, in the fall of 1918, and in 
 this way not only helped the nation, but also encouraged the fanners whose sons 
 were on the battlefields of l'"rance reaping the harvest i)f liberty for mankind.

 Pres. H. J. Farmer 
 
 The Farm Bureau movement was started primarily as a war emergency measure, 
 by tlie United States Government. It received its support from the U. S. Govern- 
 ment, the County taxes, and the farmers of the county, and was directed by the 
 state for the agricultural and social benefit of the farnier-i. 
 
 The Pipestone County Farm Bureau was organized D 
 two-year period, with the plan in view that the work would be continued after that 
 time, if successful. A review of the work of the Bureau by the memliers and officials 
 at the end of the two-year term clearly demonstrated the fact that the organization 
 had accomplished much good along the lines of increased production and closer 
 co-operation among the farmers of the county. State and cnunty aid together with 
 the dues paid by the farmers were pledged, insuring the ini]innant fact that Pipe- 
 stone County continued being numbered anit)ng the most progressive counties of 
 the great State of Minnesota, by its support iif a live I'arm liureau organization. 
 
 Prof. E. H. Grandfield, agricultural inslructor of the schools at Howard Lake, 
 Minn., was named County Agent, February 1. 1918, and continued successfully in 
 that capacity until February 1, 1919, when he resigned to take up the management 
 of his father's farm at Wichita, Kan. A. E. Webb, of Sleepy Eye. Minn., was 
 appointed as his successor, but resigned aliout a month later to take a position in 
 another county. Lieutenant A. E. Enerson, just discharged from the service, was 
 then appointed, and took up the work of the organization with a thoroughness and 
 ability for organization, that betokens unlimited benefits an.d success for this popular

 Results of Work of 1918 
 
 The Farm Bureau is representative of the larnu-rs of Pipestone County and 
 took an active part in all agricultural work for increased food production and food 
 conservation to help win the war. 
 
 The l'"arni I'.ureau is directly responsible for the ear testing of 724 bushels of 
 seed corn for 76 different farmers in 1918. of which approximately one-third or 241 
 bushels could he used for seed. 428 bushels of high test seed corn were secured from 
 outside the county and distributed to 165 different farmers. This made available 
 enough seed of known gerininati<in to plant 4 683 acres. It has been estimated that 
 this testing resulted in a 10-busheI per acre increase or 46.8,W bushels. 
 
 The wlieat acreage as reported by 1.072 farmers of the county, on the Township 
 Assessors' reports showed that there were 440 acres of wheat grown in the county 
 in 1917 but on account of the call for more wheat to help feed the world, this acreage 
 was increased in 1918 to 4,056 acres, an increase of 1.000 per cent without a noticeable 
 decrease of other crops. 
 
 The I'arm Bureau as a food conservation measure, demonstrated the "cold pack" 
 method of canning and was directly responsible by 16 demonstrations given through- 
 out the count)' for the canning of 2.658 cans and indirectly by numerous other 
 suggestions and recommendations for the canning of 3.342 cans, or a total of 6.000 
 cans of vegetables, which would release other badlv needed food for the soldiers. 
 
 The Employment I'ureau of the cfiunty which is under the direction of the 
 Farm Bureau oflice received 348 in(|uiries from farmers for help. Of this number 
 252 were sui>plied. 275 "shock troops'' composed of business men from the villages 
 were in the field an average of two hours each for six evenings during the harvest 
 season or a total of 3..300 hours or 3.W labor days of 10 hours each. 
 
 The Advisory Councilmen of the F'arm Bureau were called upon to furnish 
 information to the Local Draft Board in regard to the proper classification of the 
 farm boys of the county. There were 156 farm boys passed upon and of this number

 A. R. Rogers of the Xintli l-'ctUral Kfsirvc District stated: 
 
 "You didn't donate columns and panes f)f your space to the Lil)crty Loan be- 
 cause we asked jou to, and you didn't df> it because you expected credit or reward 
 or even thanks. Von did it because you appreciated your duty as an .\nicrican 
 citizen and performed that duty, as all real newspaper men do the things they set out 
 to do, cheerfully, liberally and effectively. We know that yon have, without pay or 
 hope of reward, used our plate matter, printed our suggested editorials and alleged 
 news stories, and have, yoursell. written and printed Loan arguments that have 
 converted many peojjle in your community. We know that without the educational 
 campaign, of which the press was the most imijortant factor, the Liberty Loans in 
 the Ninth district could not have succeeded. We have many positive proofs of these 
 facts, and therefore we cannot feel that our job is really linished until we have 
 said to you a very fervent "thank you." Whatever the future needs of the country, 
 the district, or 3'our community maj- be. we feel very sure that you and the other 
 newspaper men of the district can he dei)ended upon to do your full and efficient 
 share in supplying these needs."

 Dr. E. E. .Araetsinger. Chairman 
 
 The Pipestone County Dental Corps was organized in 1917 and was composed 
 of the dentists of the county, with Dr. E. E. .Vrgctsinger of Pipestone as chairman. 
 It was the self appointed task of these professional men to i)crform all necessary 
 dental work of men who were about to enter the service of their country. This work 
 was done free of charge for the men, and no remuiier.ition was received from the 
 Government. It is estimated that about $1,000 worth of work was done by the Pipe- 
 stone County Corps. Following are the dentists who i)erformed the dental work in 
 this county: Dr. K. E. .Argetsinger. chairman: Dr. 1^. II. .\rgctsinger. Dr. J. E. 
 Schapler. Dr. C. II. Ellertson. of Pipestone: Dr. C. L. Perrizo. Jasper: Dr. Love,

 The Woodstock Guards of Loyalty 
 
 Mrs. J. J. Hartigan, Captain 
 
 The idea of forming a ladies' military organization at Woodstock, to be known 
 as the Guards of Loyalty, was original with its captain, INIrs. J. J. Hartigan of 
 Woodstock. The purpose of the organization was to band the ladies together to 
 assist in carrying on the work of the men who were called to the colors; to help the 
 United States in the prosecution of the war, and if need be, go on the battle line to 
 fight for democracy. The members were sulijected to a loyalty test as to their past 
 and present loyalty standing and were equipped with feminine uniforms of military 
 cut. Rifles were used in the drill exercises. 
 
 The first appearance in public of the Guards was on July 4th, 1918, at the Red 
 Cross Benefit celebration at Pipestone, when they were reviewed by Governor Burn- 
 quist, principal speaker of the day, and Captain Albert Wright. The organization 
 was commended for its manifestation of patriotism and military bearing, and, in 
 commenting further on its work. Governor Burnquist stated, "With such spirit on the 
 part of all, we have nothing to fear in the future." 
 
 The organization was the only one of its kind in the United States.

 The Minnesota War Records Commission 
 
 Edward R. Trehon, County Chairman 
 
 The MinncNdUi War Records Ccmniissinn was organized for tiie purpose of 
 compiling a military record of the state as a i)ermanent memorial of the deeds of 
 Minnesota soldiers and sailors in the service of the federal and state governments 
 during the American participation in the Wnrld War. 
 
 It was also the purpose of the commission to collect all manner of data regard- 
 ing the war activities in the various counties. This material will be forwarded to 
 St. Paul when ccnnpleted and be a part of the state record at the capitol. At the 
 time of going to press of this volume (October 15. 1919) the work was about three- 
 fourths completed, with the prospect that the records of all Service Men, Home 
 Guard. National Guard, newspaper clippings regarding war activities from all the 
 newspapers of the county, copies of posters and all advertisements for Liberty Loan, 
 Red Cross, W. S. S., Y. M. C. A., U. W. W.. etc., will be in the hands of the com- 
 mittee by January 1. 1920. ready for the files of the War Records Commission of 
 the State Historical Society. 
 
 Early in January of 1919 Edward R. Trebon of Pipestone was appointed county 
 chairman fiir Pipestone County by Franklin F. Holbrook, State Director of the War 
 Records Commission. Following are the members of the county committee:

 Pipestone County has good reason to lie prond of tlic war record of its Red 
 Cross organization. 
 
 The Pipestone Comity Red Cross Chapter was organized June 5. 1917. Thirteen 
 days later was the date set for the beginning of the first great canvass, for a Red 
 Cross war fund of $100,000,000. Tliat meant about $1 per capita for the nation. 
 Pipestone County's share was estimated at $10000. .\ meeting was called at the 
 Pipestone County court room and urgent invitations were sent to every precinct in 
 the county in the eflfort to secure representation and enlist the interest and support 
 of the entire county. There was a hearty response from several of the towns of 
 the county and from a few of the township precincts. There were many willing 
 hearts and hands, but at that time all were without experience. Xone fully under- 
 stood the machinery of the organization. ,\11 did their best to answer the others' 
 questions an<l linally came to the conclusion that in the matter of technical details, 
 little was really known. But the chapter was in touch with headquarters and was 
 sure that in reasonable time it would get squared away with a complete county 
 organization. And it did. And as proof that it did. we need only point to the fine 
 record made by the Pipestone County Red Cross through all the succeeding mouths 
 of the Great \Var. 
 
 But while the Chapter was seeking to complete its organization and was aware 
 that it would take some little time to get the necessary information for its own 
 instruction and the instruction of others, it realized that the $100.(XX).000 drive could 
 not be delayed, and that immediate provision must be made for the canvass regard- 
 less of the |)articular status or stage of the organization. Owing largely to the lack 
 of understanding of the situation the drive failed to secure the help, or arouse the 
 interest of large sections of the county — the farming communities being almost 
 without representation in the first great War Fund drive of the Red Cross. But 
 the heart of the American farmer was and is right, and the failure to secure any 
 considerable support from him in the June drive in Pipestone County in the first 
 year of the war was due entirely to the fact that Red Cross workers failed to get 
 to him with the necessary information, and largely because the time was so short, 
 and the situation could not be made clear to him by telephone comnnmication at a 
 time when he was busy looking after his crop. However, with Pipestone City and 
 several of the towns of the county on the job. and several large individual contrib- 
 utions from nu'n throughout the county between $6,500 and $7,000 of our estimated 
 quota of $10.(X10 was raised. The pace set at that time surprised manv men. But 
 they followed it like men. They got the fever and kept it until the fight was over. 
 Indeed the temperature mounted higher and higher with each successive call. 
 
 It is not necessary to give any extended review of the work that followed. As 
 a matter of fact Pipestone County had one of the best Red Cross organizations in 
 the state or even the nation. It extended to all parts of the county and enlisted 
 every good American. The drives for membership and membership fees were among

 the mu^t successful in the state aud tlie canxasses f(ir funds never failed to net 
 splendid totals. Red Cross sales were well patronized and men paid freely of 
 their money at these gatherings. The 191K I'ourth of July program for the county 
 was devoted exclusively to the Red Cross, the people of the entire county joining 
 in the program and each community receiving credit for its contribution to the 
 great cause. Money poured in a constant stream into the treasury and Pipestone 
 County assured the Red Cross workers that their splendul work should not be halted 
 one moment for lack of funds. 
 
 In the earlier inoiiths of the organizaticm some of the workers did wonder 
 where the funds would come from. Demands were heavy and growing heavier 
 each month. They knew the present income would not meet the rapidly increasing 
 <lemands. I'.iit they contimied their work with a line faith that the income would 
 be pro\'ided. N'o r^ooner had this slight feeling of uneasiness been discovered by 
 certain men, than they told the workers to dismiss all anxiety and assured them 
 the money would be jirovided in abundance. .\nd it was. 
 
 The work i>f the Red Cross consisted cliiellv of knitting, sewing and making 
 surgical dressings. It was work for the Army and f(U- the distressed and suffering 
 peoples of Europe. Tons of supplies were shipped and the ladies of the county were 
 frequently commended for the neat and careful work sent to the state and later to 
 the national headquarters. A splendid work indeed! It was good to be in at the 
 very start and remain to the finish. It was money well spent and work well done. 
 
 From June 5, 1917, to June 30. I91S, there was reported to the Red Cross County 
 Treasurer. Mr. E. W. Davies, contribut'ons totaling $45,225.51, most of which was 
 handled by the county treasurer. In addition to this there was paid to the special 
 treasurer (.f the June, 1917, War Fund, Mr. W. T. Morgan, the sum of $4,522.35. 
 The receipts for the year July 1, 1918, to June 30, 1919, were $41,090.94. Hence the 
 total receipts to that date amounted to $90,S3S.S!0. Since then a few hundred dollars 
 have been paid into the treasury. 
 
 During the war there was paid out for supplies such as yarn, cloth, and material 
 for surgical dressings the sum of $73,818.74. The sum of $11,827.83 was sent to the 
 National Red Cross Treasury, including $4,522.35 sent by Mr. Morgan. The fire 
 sufferers received from the County Chapter $6,348.35. The total receipts for the year 
 ending September :)0, ]'.)19, including the balance on hand at the beginning of the 
 year were $19,:;(iii.riil. The total paid out was $Iil,7:!:!.4:^ leaving a balance on hand

 Home Guard

 By Captain \V. H. Wakefield 
 
 Soon after the declaration of war between the United States and Germany, 
 owing to the fact that the National Gnard organizations were being rapidly mobilized 
 throughout the United States and being transferred to the United States Army, the 
 people of Minnesota began to feel that this would leave them without any adequate 
 means of enforcing order in case of strikes, or means of protection against the 
 encroachments of the 1. W. \V.. pro-Germanism or other unpatriotic or disorderly 
 elements. 
 
 This feeling led to the organization of the Minnesota Commission of Public 
 Safety and authority to establish llome Guard companies throughout the state. 
 These Home Guard companies were organized and served under the same conditions 
 applicable to National Guardsmen excepting they could not be taken out of the 
 state of Minnesota. They received no pay other than subsistence when called away 
 from their home station. 
 
 Both officers and enlisted men were required to provide themselves with regula- 
 tion army uniform at their own personal expense. Ritles, ammunition and other 
 equipment was furnished by the state. 
 
 The only difference between the uniform worn by the Home Guard and the 
 regular army uniform was the collar insignia M. H. G. and the maroon hat cord. 
 
 A mass meeting was held at the Pipestone city hall in the early part of May, 
 1917. for the purpose of ascertaining whether Pipestone wanted a Home Guard 
 company or not. The result of this meeting was a petition to the governor, signed 
 by nearly two hundred citizens, asking that a company be located at Pipestone, each 
 petitioner promising to enlist in the military service of the state if they could qualify 
 for such service. 
 
 This petition was taken to the state capitol by the Hon. W. C. Briggs personally 
 and it was largely through his efforts that it received favorable consideration. 
 
 However, the citizens of Pipestone did not wait for the question to be decided, 
 but formed a temporary organization with W. E. Wakelield acting as captain and 
 began drilling and completing the organization. All the men who had had any 
 previous military training were pressed into service as officers and non-commis- 
 sioned officers. Edward P. Cady acted as second lieutenant, Sidney Robson as first 
 lieutenant. This little body of men, 21 all told, put in a very strenuous three weeks, 
 attending to their regular business duties durnig the day, drilling and studying the

 Company A Sixth Battalion, M. H. G.— Cont'd, 
 
 drill manual evenings. Many of these men knew absolntely nothing al)ont anything 
 military. Those who had had previous training were exeeedingly rusty. Up to date 
 manuals were not available, but regardless of all these difficulties the men began to 
 find themselves and gradually there came out of this chaotic first organization a 
 small body of earnest, orderly, well drilled men, who were to be the future commis- 
 sioned and noncommissioned officers not only of the Pipestone Home Guard com- 
 pany, but were the foundation of the Pipestone National Guard company as well. 
 It seems fitting to say here that it was the earnest work of these 21 men at this early 
 date that made it possible for the Home Guard company to be highly commended 
 by the adjutant general on January 7, 1918, as having made a splendid showing; to be 
 told by the battalion commander at the first annual mspection that they had the 
 best attendance and drill record of any company in the state; and later, when they 
 had been transferred to the National Guard, it was also this early work that enabled 
 their captain to be personally commended for the appearance and the work of 
 A company, M. H. G., and E companj', M. N. G., during the reconstruction work 
 after the tornado at Tyler, Minn. 
 
 Soon after the petition had been presented Major Oscar Seebach came to Pipe- 
 stone from the Adjutant General's office and inspected the drill hall, and inspected 
 and examined the prospective officers. As a result of this visit, W. E. Wakefield 
 was commissioned Captain and authorized to recruit a Plome Guard Company to 
 be located at Pipestone, the maximum strength to be 3 commissioned officers, 6 
 sergeants, 6 corporals, 2 cooks. 2 musicians, 1 artificer, 56 privates, making a total 
 of 76 officers and men. The number of applications was greatly in excess of the 
 number of men that could be accepted, and as a matter of fact there always were 
 ten to twenty men on the waiting list during the life of the Company. 
 
 The Company was mustered into service by Capt. Wakefield at Pipestone, 
 Minn., on August 16, 1917, as "D" Company, Sth Bn., M. H. G., with the following 
 officers and enlisted men:

 Owing to the fact that men enlisting in Home Guard service were not required 
 to pass a physical examination several men had to be discharged on account of 
 being unable to stand the drill. Others had to leave town for various reasons, some 
 of them going to LInited States service. Therefore the personnel of the Company 
 was constantly changing. 
 
 The following men were enlisted after August 14, 1917, for replacements: Wesley 
 Aldrich, Oscar E. Ashton, Henry P. Bitner, Albert Cramblit, Roy E. Dawson, Ed- 
 ward Even, Harry A. Gano, William A. Hoskins. Milo J. Meeker, Samuel F. Purchas, 
 Frank A. Schirmer, Walter F. Veach, George W. Winters, John Earl Schapler. 
 
 Dr. Herbert D. Jenckes was commissioned as First Lieutenant and assigned 
 to the Sanitary Detachment.

 The greater part of the Home Guard Company took the state and federal oath, 
 enlisted and were transferred by General Order No. 9, August 1, 1918, to Co. E, 
 5th Reg. Minn. National Guard. Quite a number of the men were unable to enlist 
 in the National Guard on account of age or being physically disqualilied. Some 
 had business or family ties, which prevented them from assuming the obligation 
 required by the militia bureau for National Guards, and preferred to remain in the 
 Home Guard, but after the organization of the National Guard Company there were 
 only 20 men remaining in the Home Guard Company. These 20 went to Tyler with 
 the National Guard Company, and served there during the reconstruction work 
 after the Tyler tornado with credit to themselves and all concerned. Thev were 
 mustered out of service at the close of the Great War. 
 
 Aside from their service at Tyler the work of the Home Guard consisted of 
 weekly drills, participating in various patriotic exercises. Memorial Day, and other 
 occasions, furnishing firing squads and escorts to render the last military rites for 
 soldiers who died in camp and were buried in Pipestone and other nearby towns, 
 acting as escort for drafted men entraining at Pipestone. 
 
 Some of the notable days that they were on duty were: Dedication Day, Sept. 1, 
 1917. This was the first time they appeared in public uniformed and equipped with 
 rifles, and were inspected by Senator Sullivan of Stillwater. They were out on this 
 day to honor the young men who had registered for service in' the United States 
 Army and Navy. 
 
 July 4. 1918, when they met Governor Burnquist at the Milwaukee depot and 
 escorted him to the Fair Grounds. 
 
 In December, 1917, the officers had the first opportunity to test the efficiency 
 of the Company. At 2:15 P. M. the Company Commander received orders to mobilize 
 the entire Company and entrain for St. Paul, on account of street car strikes. At 
 2:20 P. M. the emergency whistle was blown from the electric light plant. .'\t 3:15 
 P. M. every man, except three who lived in the country, had rc'ported at the City 
 Hall uniformed and armed and the absentees had telephoned they were on their 
 way. Every detail for equipment for the men, care and' protection of their families 
 during the absence of the men, arrangement for transportation, etc., was carried 
 out without a hitch of any kind. Orders were given and carried out by the officers 
 and men without a murmur or a question, and for the first time I realized that 
 we really had a military organization. The Red Cross ladies were on hand to serve 
 us coffee and lunch, and then very much to the disappointment of the men. our 
 orders to entrain were cancelled. 
 
 Along towards the close of 1917 D Company was transferred to the 6tli Bn. and 
 designated as Company A instead of Company D.

 By Captain W. E. Wakefield 
 
 On July 5th, 1918, W. E. Wakefield. Captain "A" Co., 6th Bn.. M. H. G., received 
 a telegram from Col. G. A. Lewis of Mankato, Minn., asking if he would accept a 
 commission as captain in the 5th Regiment, Minnesota Infantry, National Guard, 
 which was then in its earliest stages of organization. This offer was accepted by 
 wire. The commission was issued and Capt. Wakefield was authorized to enlist a 
 company of not less than one hundred enlisted men. Recruiting offices were opened 
 at once. Public meetings were held and during these meetings Pipestone was 
 visited by Col. G. A. Lewis, Major W. R. Boyce of Fairmount and Capt. R. W. 
 Bates of Mankato, all of whom spoke in the interest of the new organization. 
 
 Only men between the ages of 18 and 45 years who could pass tiie regular 
 army physical examination were eligible for membership in this organization. 
 Farmers as a rule were dissuaded from enlisting, also any man who was liable to be 
 drafted into the United States Army or Navy before the new organization could be

 completed. Married men or men with dependents had to sign a written agreement 
 stating that if called to U. S. service they would not claim exemption on account of 
 dependents, and that they would in such case allot at least $15.00 per month towards 
 the support of their dependents. The chief of the Militia Bureau at Washington, 
 D. C, was particularly emphatic about the qualifications necessary for officers and 
 enlisted men. His communications received through the .-\djutant General of Min- 
 nesota warned all concerned that it would lie alisolutely a waste of time to enlist 
 men who could nut (jualify, and that it would also lie a reflection upon the state, the 
 adjutant general ami all commissioned officers in organizations enlisting men who 
 would fail to pass the federal inspecting officer. 
 
 The stringency of these rulings made it somewhat difficult to get the required 
 number of men. and to counteract this it was decided to recruit a platoon of 32 
 enlisted men from Jasper, platoon to be under the command of Lieut. Erik J. 
 Aslesen, who had seen service in the I'hiiiiqiines during the Spanish war. In addition 
 to this, men were enlisted from nearby towns, esiiecially Woodstock and Edgerton. 
 All of these men were to attend drill meetings at Pipestone, except the Jasper pla- 
 toon, which was to train at Jasper. 
 
 Lieut. Ilcrliert D. Jenckes was commissioned as lieutenant in the National Guard 
 and assigned to the Medical Corps with headquarters at Pipestone. 
 
 Fifty-six men were enlisted from the old Home Guard company. Six were 
 unable to pass the physical test and were rejected.

 Lieut. Sidney Robsoii of the old Home Guard company was commissioned first 
 lieutenant and Erik J. Aslesen of Jasper, second lieutenant, on .August 1st, 1918. On 
 September 1st enlistments of those who had passed the physical test totaled 114 and 
 all men who had not been previously mustered were inspected, accepted and mustered 
 into service at Camp Tyler, September 1st, 1918, by Col. C. A. Lewis. This com- 
 pleted the organization of E company, but a few men coming from the Home Guard 
 were over 45 years of age. They were accepted under the impression they would be 
 accepted by the Militia Bureau as re-enlistments. There were also a few men who 
 lacked a few days of being 18 years of age. who were later on ruled ineligilile for 
 service by the federal authorities. However, the armistice came along on November 
 11th, 1918. The men of E company enlisted only for the reason that the first draft 
 liad been exhausted and it began to look as if L'ncle Sam would need every available 
 man. They were mostly business men — men almost without exception who had 
 dependent families. They were exempted in all previous drafts and the most of them 
 would undoubtedly have been exempted in any draft, but they wished to do their 
 part regardless of tliese things. Their only way into Uncle Sam's army was through 
 the National Guard, and so they enlisted in the National Guard, but the war was 
 over. They knew they were not the class of men L^ncle Sam wants in his army in 
 times of peace. They did not relish the idea of parading the streets of Pipestone 
 when the boys began to come home from the Argonne, Belleau Wood, Chateau 
 Thierry and various other places of that kind. The incentive to drill was gone. 
 There would be no chance for active service, so they said, "Let's quit." They pre 
 sented a petition to their captain asking that he use his influence to have the com- 
 pany mustered out, and Special Order 153, which follows, came as a result. 
 
 State of Minnesota — Adjutant General's Office 
 Special Order No. 153. St. Paul. Nov. 18, 1918. 
 
 1. Upon the recommendation of the Commanding Oflicer. Fifth Regiment, Min- 
 nesota Infantry, N. G., Company "E," Pipestone, Fifth Regiment, Minnesota Infantry, 
 N. G., is hereby mustered out, and the officers and enlisted men thereof honorably 
 discharged from the military service of the State. 
 By command of the Governor. 
 
 W. F. RHINOW, the Adj,uant General. 
 Official: WILLIAM GARIS, Major, Chief of Staff. 
 
 On August 22 orders were received by Capt. Wakefield to mobilize all of the 
 National Guard men who had seen service in the old Home Guard, also all the 
 remaining Home Guard men. and report at once to the Mayor of Tyler, Minn., this 
 town havint,' nearly been wiped out of existence bv a tc>rnado the evening of August 
 21st, 1918. 
 
 The emergency alarm was sounded at 9 .A. M. Capt. Wakefield with Lieut. Rob- 
 son and 48 men were on their way in automobiles by 10:15 A. M., arriving at Tyler 
 at 11:30 A. M. Supply Sergeant John Gray, with twenty men, trucks and provisions 
 followed, arriving in the afternoon. The number of men in this expedition was 20 
 enlisted men from A company, 5th Bn., M. 11. G., 49 men and two commissioned 
 officers from E company 5th Regiment, Minnesota Infantry. National Guard. 
 
 Later in the day a part of F company came into Tyler from Worthington. Minn. 
 These three companies, the total strength of all three being about 125 men. saw four 
 days of very strenuous work, the men walking post, digging over the ruins for the 
 dead, repairing water mains, telephone, telegraph and electric light wires, and per- 
 forming other duties too numerous to mention. Thej' were about tired out when re- 
 lieved by A company from Mankato, Machine Gun company from Mankato, B 
 company from St. Peter, and D company from Morris, and a company of U. S. 
 Engineers from Brookings, .S. D. 
 
 On the 24th most of the tornado victims were buried. There was just one big 
 community funeral. F company, led by the 5th Regiment band, acted as escort, 
 which was followed liy twenty-one caskets, all of which were nearly buried in 
 flowers, 147 men in uniform acting as pall bearers. These, in turn, were followed by 
 an almost endless stream of automobiles carrying relatives and friends of the 
 deceased. The rear of the procession being one automobile containing a captain 
 and four lieutenants, representing the post. 
 
 This funeral column, passing slowly through the ruins of Tyler, was one of the 
 saddest and most impressive sights that the people in this vicinity have ever seen. 
 
 The next day, what had once lieen the prosperous little town of Tyler, was 
 thrown open to the public. The Pipestone companies, also F company from Worth- 
 ington, were detailed to stand guard and keep both foot traffic and automobiles 
 moving. During the da)' nearly one hundred thousand people viewed the ruins, but 
 there was not an accident of any kind. At 6 P. M. both the Pipestone companies and 
 the Worthington company were relieved and sent to their home stations.

 Col. G. A. Lewis had arrived at Tyler the evening of August 22nd. He was 
 accompanied Uy RriK- Gen. W. I-'. Rhinow, who placed Col. Lewis in command of 
 the post. On .Xufjust 24ih Capt. Wakefield was assigned to General Khinow's statT. in 
 charge of relief work, his duty being to secure men and equipment to clean up the 
 wreckage and make the town safe and sanitary. Lieut. kol)son was placed in com- 
 mand of the Pipestone companies. 
 
 On September 1st all of K com])any and also .\ company were ordered to report 
 at Tyler for review and inspection by Col. Lewis and staflf. There were 20 men in 
 line from .V company an<l 114 men from E company, all of whom participated in 
 the battalion parade and review. 
 
 E company was formally mustered into the 5th regiment as a unit. Capt. Wake- 
 field was i)laced in command and the com])any ordered back to Pipestone. The 
 captain was complimented by Ix.th the adjutant general ai:d colonel in person upon 
 the soldierly appearance and (lisci|)line of E company. The company was commended 
 for its good work and sent on its way home rejoicing. .-\nd so ends the story of 
 E company. There were many pathetic and heart-breaking scenes in desolate and 
 grief stricken Tyler, but there were also many comical and interesting things which 
 1 have neither time, space nor inclination to tell, but I am very sure the result of 
 these experiences will be a friendship between each and every one of the former 
 members of E company that will live a^ long as life itself, .'^o far I have tried to 
 make the story absolutely impersonal, but 1 cannot close without saying these men 
 were men of whom anyone or any community could feel proud of. .Xs their captain 
 I feel that 1 learned to know- them and that I am competent to judge. They were 
 not veterans of the World War. They were not even transferred to active duty in 
 the United States service. The)' neither take nor ask credit for the things they did 
 not do, but when they subscribed to the Xational Guard obligation they surrendered 
 thcinsclves to the service of the I'nited States and to the State of Minnesota. They 
 waived exemption on account of dependents or anything else, for that matter. In 
 fact, ihey burned all the bridges beliind tln-iii. There could be no retreat and the 
 fact that the United States did not sec lit to use them is no fault of these men. 
 
 They were well drilled, well disciplined and did efliciently the things they were 
 asked to do. The credit for all w'hich is due to no one or to any cause except the 
 spirit and entlnisiasni of the men themselves.

Following the greatest war in all history and America's participation therein, 
 comes as a natural occurrence, the organization of The American Legion, an asso- 
 ciation of World War veterans, embodying the ideals of the highest type of Amer- 
 ican citizenship. With these men of high conceptions who were willing to sac- 
 rifice their lives on the fields of Flanders, the American public is well content to 
 rest its future security of government, and the onward and upward march of 
 progress.

 eastern river bank. 
 
 — Pershing's 1st Army continued its advance on 
 both banks of the Meuse. Crossings were made north 
 and south of Dun and large forces made good their 
 hold on the hills of the eastern bank and pressed on 
 toward Stenay, from which they were distant 6 miles, 
 and Montmedy. By an advance of more than 4 miles

 ported to have withdrawn their main forces from the 
 city.

 part of Sedan resting on the western bank of the 
 river occupied, the .'\merican Army is coi.solidating 
 its positions and preparing for a further advance. It 
 was contin.gents of the noted Rainbow Division and 
 of the 1st Division that made the final whirlwind dash

 tions, pointing out difficulties in the way of carrying 
 out some secondary clauses. Then Erzberger asked 
 for a suspension of hostilities. This request Marshal 
 Foch refused. The delegates having obtained per-

 American division reached Mouzay in its forward 
 march, despite machine gun resistance and a fire from

 mistake into the German lines northeast of Lion-de-

 is deemed advisable by others.

 tion in Government war risk insurance rates on hulls,

 Wilson's Fourteen Points of Peace 
 
 On January S, 1918, President Wilson, in an address 
 to a joint session of Congress named fourteen points as 
 essential in a consideration of peace. His speech, in 
 full, will be found on pa.ges 17-lS of the 191S World 
 Almanac and Cyclopedia. The fourteen points he stated 
 as follows : 
 
 I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at ; after 
 which there sliall be no private international under- 
 standings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed al- 
 ways frankly and in the public view. 
 
 II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, 
 outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, 
 except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part 
 by international action for the enforcement of interna- 
 tional covenants. 
 
 III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic 
 barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade 
 conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace 
 and associating themselves for its maintenance. 
 
 IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that na- 
 tional armametits will be reduced to the lowest point 
 consistent with domestic safety. 
 
 V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial ad- 
 justment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict ob- 
 servance of the principle that in determining all such 
 questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations 
 concerned must have equal weight with the equitable 
 claims of the Government whose title is to be deter- 
 mined. 
 
 VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory, and such 
 a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will 
 secure the best and freest co-operation of the other na- 
 tions of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered 
 and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent 
 determination of her own political development and 
 national policy, and assure her of a sincere welcome into 
 the society of free nations under institutions of her 
 own choosing ; and, more than a welcome, assistance 
 also of every kind that she may need and may herself 
 desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister 
 nations in the months to come will be the acid test of 
 their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as 
 distinguished from their own interests and of their in- 
 telligent and unselfish sympathy. 
 
 VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be 
 evacuated and restored without any attempt to limit 
 the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all 
 other free nations. No other single act will serve as 
 this will serve to restore confidence among the nations 
 
 in the laws which they have themselves set and deter- 
 mined for the govermnent of their relations with one 
 another. Without this healing act the whole structure 
 and validity of international law is forever impaired. 
 
 VIII. All French territory should be freed and the 
 invaded portions restored ; and the wrong done to France 
 by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, 
 which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly 
 fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may 
 once more be made secure in the interest of all. 
 
 IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should 
 be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nation- 
 ality. 
 
 X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place 
 among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and as- 
 sured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of 
 autonomous development. 
 
 XI Roumania, Serbia and Montenegro should be evac- 
 uated ; occupied territories restored ; Serbia accorded 
 free and secure access to the sea, and the relations of 
 the several Balkan states to one another determined by 
 friendly counsel along historically established lines of 
 allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees 
 of the political and economic independence and terri- 
 torial integrity of the several Balkan states should be 
 entered into. 
 
 XII. The Turkish portions of the present Ottoman 
 Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the 
 other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule 
 should be assured an undoubted security of life and an 
 absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous devel- 
 opment, and the Dardanelles should be permanently 
 opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of 
 all nations under international guarantees. 
 
 XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected 
 which should include the territories inhabited by indis- 
 putably Polish populations, which should be assured a 
 free and secure access to the sea, and whose political 
 and economic independence and territorial integrity 
 should be guaranteed by international covenant. 
 
 XIV. A general association of nations must be 
 formed, under specific covenants, for the purpose of 
 affording mutual guarantees of political independence 
 and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. 
 
 Mr. Wilson's declaration of fourteen peace points was 
 made a day after the British Prime Minister, David 
 Lloyd George, had stated in a public address to the 
 trades unions what his country considered a basis for 
 peace discussion.
