A Cement Brick Co,

The Palmer Cement Brick Machine
Co. are planning on putting in a ce-
ment brick manufacturing plant in
this city. a representative of the
company, V. C. Mills having been
here for several days looking up the
proposition. Mr.. Palmer, the in
ventur Of the machine used in manu-
featuring these brick, is expected here
today to make a demonstration of
what his machine will do. The mach
inc makes either rock, panel, rope
and tool brick.
An option has been secured on lots
in the Harris Addition next to the
Great Northern side track, so that
shipping facilities would be the best.
The establishment of this kind OF
an industry in the city would be OF
considerable benefit to the city, and
on account of the large gravel de-
posits and excellent shipping facilities
here should grow to be an important
industry.

THE FILTHY FLIES
Go from the Slop Pail to Your
Plate.

Dirt is defined as matter in the wrong
place. Flies may be defined as members
of the Order of Diptera who have left
their appointed sphere of barns, car
casses and purifying objects. in order
to invade the homes and comforts of
man. They may be called the army
of Muscidae which, by silent attack,
is trying to wipe out the human race.
A fly is fly for a that and a. that.
but when he can receive in our parlors
at all hours of the night, eat at our
tables with US, and peep over our
shoulders to read the paper with US,
he makes of himself a capital invader
"a crime considered by the law of
nations as deserving capital punish
ment.
Swat the fly. Every female fly is
laying 160 eggs day. The tribe is
multiplying at tremendous birthrate.
Only towns that cannot keep clean
and homes that are never secured and
painted, can afford to ignore the crus-
ade against this perilous pest. Civilized
communities need not expose them
selves to dangers of cholera, typhoid,
scarlet fever, yellow fever, by letting
in this scavenger to do the work that
every good house should do her
self.
The fly on your plate may have been
out in the slop pail wallowing in the
foulest decompositions just a few
minutes before. The fly sprinting over
your butter and plodding his home
ward way over your bread and steak
may have just come in to taste some
of your higher life after having beer
out in hlthy cultures and carcasses
five minutes before. His feeIers anC
hairy limbs may still be saturated
with the spume of maggots he wa:
keeping company with the day before
yesterday. In his little sword like
stinger he may still have enough viru!
to give you a beautiful injection o1
diptheria. blood-poison, and "pink
eye."
Swat 'em, screen 'em out, catcl
'em, spray 'em. poison 'em.

Commencement Exercises.

The commencement exercises of the
Glass of 1918, the largest class ever
graduated from the Morris high school,
were held at the armory last Friday
evening. A peculiar coincidence is
that the class of 1913 contained 26
members, and that there were two
valedictorians, one for each 13 of the
class. The class motto, "On, honor,
honest contains 13 letters.
The program opened with an invoc-
alton by Rev. Andrew Olson, after
which Miss Annie Sobey, Miss Mar
tha Griffith and Miss Charlotte Borrill
sang beautiful trio, IA Perfect
Day..
Two excellent valedictory orations
were given, one by Miss Katherine
Keeshan on "Advancements in Sur
gerry and the other by Miss Anice
Buckentin on "Jacob Riis. !" Miss
Annie Sobey rendered a beautiful
piano solo, "Capricante.
The address of Professor F. A.
Webster on 'The Value of Enthusi-
asm'' was an inspiring message
clothed in beautiful literary form,
and was highly appreciated by both
the audience and the class.
One of the INST interesting parts
of the program was the presentation
by Supt. Davies of certificates of
award for having been neither absent
nor tardy to FIVE pupils. They were
Essle Gilbertson, May Rotramel,
Ethel Rotramel. John Burpee, Alex.
Ringness,
The diplomas were presented tc
the class by DR.. Chas. E. Caine. with
a few well chosen words of congratu.
lation and advice, and the interesting
exercises closed with the class song By
the members of the class.

ROAD INTEREST
Is AWAKENED
FARMERS WILL DEMAND
CHANGES.
Citizens of Alberta and Farmers
of Pepperton and Morris Will
Protest against the State Road
South of B. V. Track and Pc
tition for Change. Other Mis-
fits Should Be Corrected Now.

Seldom has any article dealing with
the development of Stevens county
awakened the interest which The Tri-
bune article on state roads did last
week. People have not realized what
big thing the state road fund is
going to be in the building of perm
anent highways. Heretofore state aid
has been a small matter and the coun-
ty commissioners have designated
state roads. except where personal in
terest was involved) more with the
idea of getting little state money to
help out on new roads instead of with
the idea of building up permanent
highways in the county.
But in the future the road fund of
$15. 900 or more which this county is
going to get every year from the state
will be spent mainly on the state
roads and these state roads should be
the main thorofares. The less i'm
portant roads will have to be taken
Care VI NY Tue COulCJ anu lOWu6AAp
road funds as in the past.
Next Monday the citizens of Al
berta and the farmers of Pepperton
and Morris townships will present a
protest against the state road running
south of the Browns Valley track and
petition that it be changed to the
present road north of the track. Only
one of the commissioners has any
personal interest in this road running
south of the track, and it is expected
that the other commissioners will
recognize the justice of the farmers
demand for the road TO be north of
the track.
Hancock will probably ask that
that section of the county have a
state road running northeast and south
west from that village instead of the
present misfit running due west in
which only one of the commissioners
is interested.
Farmers tributary to Chokio, AL
berta and Donnelly are discussing good
state roads to run south from Alberta
and Chokio and west from Donnelly
instead of the present misfit running
north and south thru the centre of the
county in which only one of the COM
missioners is interested.
Four of the commissioners are
honest men intent on serving their
constituencies instead of serving their
own interest. and if the farmers but
make their wants known a sensible
system of state roads can be planned
/ for this county which will be of great
benefit to the farmers and will also
serve as important thorofares tc
towns with which there is no direct
railroad connection. For instance, &
good road north from Morris leads
to Elbow Lake. one northeast from
Hancock to Cyrus, one south from
Chokiu to Correll, one west from Don
nelly to Wheaton. one north from
Chokio to Herman. and so on, ant
give a good means of travel to thes'
towns that are difficult to reach b.
rail, and at the same time give tn
farmer a good road to town.

The commissioners of all the coun-

commercial clubs were requested to
ask the state highway commission
for surveys and estimates for the road.
Indications are that construction will
begin Immediately and be pushed
vigorously. The road will pass more
than 100 lakes and link thirt y-four
towns in eight of the most prosperous
counties cf Minnesota.

PLANNED TO BE BUILT OF
MACADAM.
Magnificent Highway Would
Be Used Only for Thru Traf-
o fic but by Moving it One Mile
North a Permanent Road
Could be Built Cheaper and
Would be used by Our own
Farmers.

Herewith is shown the official map
of the East and West highway from
the cities to Glacier Park A perma-
nent road of this kind running thru
the state is fine thing for thru travel,
but there is no reason why it should
not be built so as to be benifit to
the local travel and give the farmers
a good road to town.
This map shows the highway run
ming south west from Morris and then
due west from several miles where
there is at present only trail. If
it were run one mile north on the
present line of the road from Morris
to Alberta, it would be of great local
benifit.

What Is This Highway,

( The first real step in the construc-
tion of the East and West Highway
from the twin cities to Browns Valley
a distance of 205 niles. was taken
May 21 at a convention at Graceville of
county commissioners and commercial
clubs from the counties of Traverse,
Big Stone. Stevens. Swift. Kandiyohi,
Meeker, Wright, Hennepin and Ram
sey.
Permanent organization of the East
and West State Highway association
was effected by representatives from
thirty-four towns along this great
trunk highway.
The road which is to be of maca-
dam, IS to be constructed under the
Dunn Act. This act provides that
the state and counties share the ex-
pense of construction. thus taking the
burden from the individual property
owners. The counties mentioned
above have available total of about
$40, 900, which can be used in the
construction of links of this highway
The East and West highway as far
IS Morris ultimately will be the short
auto highway to the Glacier National
Park, cutting off, it is estimated about
one hundred miles from the present
routes which follows the Great Nor
thern Railway directly north through
st. Cloud, Alexandria. and Fregus
Falls. The East and West parallels
the Willmar division of the Great
Northern to Morris and then the
Browns Valley branch through Grace
vile to the state line.
James r. Hichey, of st. Paul,
addressed the convention. explaining
the construction phases of the high
way. Eighty enthusiastic practical
road makers were in attendance.
Mayor Valesh of Graceville in his
opening address called attention to the
fact that the men who had been at the
head of the project in the past we're
from GraceviIle and that now the
matter was up to the members of the
present convention for the fulfi lment
of the work.
D. N. Tallamn of Willmar was
elected president of the convention.
M. J. O'Brein of Graceville was choser
first vice president; ]. W. Wright o:
Litchield. second vicepresident; Franl
Thornton, secretary, and W. H. Bo

ectors are Louis W. Hill. of Ramsey
