MARKET DAY, OCT. 20.

anyone qualified, and to announce an
other market day with the same at
fractions for next Wednesday, Oct.
Goth.
Come TO Morris next Wednesday
and enjoy the good time and avail
yourself of the trading advantages of
fered on that day.

The Minneapolis Journal of Monday
said that F. E. Ellsworth, of st. James

date in this, district against Congress
man Velstead. The Journal says that
both have been in the cities and have
told their intimate friends that they
will seek congressional nominations,
Both will make the campaign on an
anti Cannon platform.
eJournal further says
"L8G. spooner of Norris. who will
also appose Congressman Volstead,
will also rest his hope of success on
an anti Cannon platform. Congress-
man Volstead voted for Cannon for

who desire to share in the testimonial
expression. Churches, schools. labor
unions, fraternal and other asso-
Citations, women's clubs, commercial
organizations, employers of labor
above all the newspaper guild of
which Governor Johnson was a loved
and honored member-are invited to
see that the opportunity to contribute
Is given to each person in these sew
eral spheres of influence.
Ihe commission adopted resolu-
ton expressing the desire that not
less than $25, 900 should be contributed
promptly, in order that the fund may
be closed on or about November 1st.
1t was thought that this would be the
minimum sum necessary to provide a
worthy memorial-and it is to be
hoped that the amount contributed
May largely exceed that amount.
Finally, it is requested that all con-
tributions will be forwarded promptly
through local newspapers (Which will
make public acknowledgment of them)

JOHNSON MEMORIAL.
Commission Wishes to Secure
Widest Possible Participation.
To the People of Minnesota:

To the People of Minnesota:
The members of the board appoint
ed by Governor Eberhart to take
charge of the Johnson Memorial Fund
met at st. Paul, October 4th, and eff
fected permanent organization un-
der the title The Governor John AL
bert Johnson Memorial Commission.
It was evident that no practical
consideration could be given to the
question of the form of the proposed
memorial until the amount at the dis
posal of the commission should be
approximately determined. AS this
is essentially and peculiarly a popular
and spontaneous movement, it was
felt that no solicitation should be used
but that an opportunity should be
given to every man, women and child
in the state to contribute. The mem
orial will have its profoundest signific-
ance as an expression of the universal
respect and affection in which Gov.
johnson was held by his fellow eiti-
zens. For this purpose it is not so
important to secure the greatest pos
sible sum of money as to secure the
widest possible participation. There.
fore the commission reafirmed in it's
articles the original policy of the
movement as begun in the news
papers that individual contributions
shall in all cases be limited to one
dollar, and that smaller amounts will
be welcomed. But due credit is to be
given not only to the individuals but
to the localities from which the con.
tributions are received, and to the or
ganizations and newspapers through
which they are transmitted. Thus the
final tabulations will show the amounts
received from each county, town and
city, and also the amounts paid in
through each association, business
firm and the amounts transmitted to
the treasurer thru each newspaper.
It is important that the campaign be
closed at the earliest date consistent
with the necessity of universal pub
licity The commission therefore in /
vites and requests active and imme-
diate cooperation in offering the op-
portunity to contribute. In each To-
cality systematic work should be done

Geography Wins.

Just after the Fourth of July races
here, Henry Moore sold his horse
Topography" to Jack Colohan, OF
Superior. Last week Geography won
sensational race at the race meet at
that place. He had match race with
/ Ole Boy with side bet of $3.50. The
News Tribune says of the race:-
"The result of the Ole Boy -Geogra-
ply pacing event at the race meet
yesterday afternoon, proved conclu-
sively that the report circulated some
time since that Colahan's piece OF
horsefesh was "dead one" was
grossly exaggerated. Geography
outstepped Thorp's horse in each OF
the three heats run in what was to
have been a five-heat race.
"Few thought that the horse with
the school-book name could SO de-
cisivel;, defeat the bearer of the
Scandinavian cognomen, and as re-
suit it was no hard matter for the
followers of the former to get plenty
of bets. A large sum of money
changed hands on the race. There
was but second and quarter diff
ference between the slowest and the
fastest heats, the time made being
1908 IA, 1:08 1-2and 1:09 IL.
ssOn the last heat Geography went
a mile in 2:16 Ia"
