CLEAN UP DAY
Plans for Making Morris a Clean
Up to Date City

At a committee meeting of the
Civic League held last week plans
were discussed for observing "Clean
up Day. -
The most feasible one proposed
seems to be that known as the
"block system" 1t is proposed to
appoint two women in each block to
have charge of the cleaning of that
particular block. The methods to be
used and the day to be chosen at their
discussion. Teams will be furnished
to take away rubbish when collected.
Another plan towards beautifying
Morris is the ''garden making" plan.
MIR. Gibberson, of the agricultural
school, has offered his services to
oversee the cultivation of some of the
vacant lots in town if such can be se-
cured. The children of the town are
to be interested in the work, taught
and shown by actual work the science
of gardening by an expert. in that
line. This work has been a feature
of the gardening work in the larger
cities and Morris is highly favored to
be offered free the services of pro-
fessionai in this line.
Practically all the expense will be
the cost of plowing said lots.
These plans and other work of spe-
cial interest are to be discussed at
q meeting for women at the club
rooms of the Morris Improvement
Union at 3 o'clock Saturday, April
25th. AS before announced, wives
mothers, sisters and daughters of
members of the Union are considered
members Of the Civic League and all
other women interested in clean
town are invited. There are now fly
less towns. where sanitary measures
are perfected. Let US help hasten
the time when flies and screens are
things of the past and Morris becomes
sanitary, up to date city. Contri-
buted.

china,s Great Wall.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along large
part of the great wall of China. The
bricks of the parapet are as firm as
ever and their edges have stood the
severe climatic conditions of North
China with scarcely a break, The paw
ing along the top of the wall is so
smooth that one may ride over it with
a bicycle, and the great granite blocks
with which it is faced are smooth and
as closely fitted as when put in place
over 1000 years ago. The entire length
of this wall is 1.4OO miles, it is twenty
two feet high and twenty feet in thick
ness. At intervals of every 100 yards
or so there are towers some forty feet
in height. Popular Mechanics.

COUNTIES PLAN A
HOG CHODERA WAR
SERUM TO BE PROVIDED
CHEAP.
West Central Association Plans
to Obtain Serum as Alfalfa
Seed Was Obtained and
Stamp out ScOurge.

West Central Minnesota is going
after the hog cholera germ. If the
plans Of the West Central Minnesota
Development association for the cam
paign this spring do not miscarry. it
will take a germ of exceptional craft
to get into the aseociation's territory
and do any mischief. Even then it
will run the awful risk of death in
trying its teeth on an immunized pig.
In the first place, the association is
making plans to provide enough serum
to meet any extraordinary demand
likely to arise. This will be obtained
from commercial houses, and will be
distributed to a depot in each county,
from which it will be sold to farmers
at actual cost, which will be consider
ably less than the retail price. though
higher than the price for state serum.
If, however, any farmer prefers
to have the state serum, the sasoci-
alton will strive to aid him to get
a sufficient supply, Failing in this,
though. the commercial serum will
be on hand for him.
With sufficient supplies of ammuni.
tion of this kind on hand. the various
counties will have separate organiza-
tions. These will consist Of commit.
tees made up Of men from the various
parts of the county. The farmers
will be made acquainted with the
name and address of their nearest
committeeman. AS a result, any out
break Of the plague will be reported
at once to the committeeman nearest,
and by him word will be forwarded to
the county seat. Serum will be rushed
to the infected herd and vaccination
will begir.
Veterinarians will be kept in touch
with, and their aid will be called for
in helping to fight off the disease.
In this manner it is believed that west
central Minnesota can prevent any
widespread loss through a repetition
of last seasons epidemic. is

Garcia's Method.

Mesdames viardot-Garcia. and Mali

uel Garcia, who was perhaps the great
est vocal teacher of all time, literally
learned in suffering what they taught

The discipline of the Garcia home
was extremely severe. According to
Henry T. Finck, who writes in the
Musician, it was said that he used to
beat his unfortunate daughters till they
screamed.
The neighbors, however, did not con-
fuse methods with madness, and on
such occasions they quantity said. 1T

Denver-"C Colorado has enough radi-
um Bearing ore to supply the world"
says Thomas r. Henahen, state COM
missioner of mines. in announcing that
carnotite has been found in considera-
bic quantities in the silver ores of Eagle
county, in the western part of the
state.
IF you had told me month ago
that carnotite and silver could be
found together probably would have
laughed at you" he said. "But it GER
tainly is mixed with the silver in the
Eagle ores. OF shipment of twenty
FIVE tons of ore recently made, FIVE
tons were carnotite.
THE shipment gave eight-tenths of
/ per cent of uranium. from which
radium is extracted. 1t is. probable
that if the carnotite ore had been ship
ped by itself without mixture. it would
have shown 4 per cent uranium"
The discovery is the first of carnO-
tite in veins underground The car
notite which has been located in Mon
trose and other counties composing
what is known as the ''radium field'
has all been on the surface. In Eagle
county the carnotite is mixed with the
silver ore in the underground veins.
The pitchblende of Gilpin and Clear
Creek counties has hitherto been the
only underground radium beaFing ore
found in the state.
A report in regard to the number of
county states that ninety-seven have
been located in the county this year
in comparison with 105 in 1913. Up to
Dec. 81. 1913. there had been in All 1876
claims filed in the county.

Notice to Water Consumers

Some delay has been experienced in
the preparation Of water bills on ac.
count of the long time required to
read the meters, due to their inaccesi-
bility in many cases, and to the stress
of other business in this Office.
Two weeks time will be allowed
after the receipt OF the bill before it
will be considered delinquent. Mr.. E..
B. Riniker is the city treasurer and
has his Office in the Citizens Bank.
AS the treasurer is the only one quail
fed to receive city funds, it is re-
quested that all payments be made
direct to him..

MANY ASK SEATS
IN LEGISLATURE
OPPOSITION TO ATTORNEY
GENERAL SMITH.
Faithful Official Has not Pleased

interest naturally centers about the
governorship and the various state
offices there is one feature of the
game this year which cannot be over

more remarkable, though, is the high

The state political game to date has
been rather tame, but you can look
for some lively fireworks if several an
ticipated filings materialize within the
next two weeks in connection with
the attorney generals Office The
story is that number of higher ups
are after Attorney General Smiths
scalp. His activity in several matters,
among them the cleaning up of lot
of timber trespass suits and his re-
fusal to join in a movement to make
the eastman distance tariff law OBJ
noxious to shippers, is reported to be
behind the move. For the past week
opposition to another term for Gen
eral Smith has been talked of in the
person of James Manahan, now con-
gressman at large. To give it to you
cold, the use of Manahan's name and
the apparent desire on the part of sew
eral who never had any use for the
Tenth district firebrand to get him
into the game, is simply blind to
cover up and help out proposed can
didate they have had in mind for some

has been informed outright that if he
does not mend his ways the opposi-
ton candidate will be trotted out.

Refuge for Game Birds.

Pierre.-A game bird refuge in the
northeastern portion of the state is
being proposed by a number of people
in that section. The state has set
aside the forest reserve in the south
western portion of the state as a pre-
serve for big game, and as the state
owns q fine tract in the northeast, in
the old Fort Sisseton reservation,
which would be a suitable refuge for
both water fowl and other game birds,
the legislature probably will be asked
to declare this a refuge for all game
birds. The tract is dotted over with
several small lakes and slOughs and
scattering timber, which would make
it an ideal refuge for game birds. 1t
has also been suggested that the state
should declare all state lands to be
bird refugees and help protect and prop
agate game birds by forbidding hunt
ing on any state owned tracts.
