The City of Morris is under commission form
of government the commissioners have taken office
and everything points successful administration of
city affairs.
But the 35 pages of long primer type which forth
the present charter of the city of Morris contain
charmed words.
The promise of bright future is contained in the
spirit of the citizens.
When the old council stepped out and the coun-
Gil stepped in. the old officers extended their genuine
best wishes to their successors and the officers
extended their sincere congratulations the old adj
mnistraon for the excellent work that had been done
on the streets, and sidewalks.
This commentator of one citizen for the good work
he has and this cooperation with another citizen

There is free-masonry of service which binds men
closer than any fraterna VOW real worker for the
common good always find brother in another real
worker for the common good if they do approach
problems from different viewpoint.

Montessori asserted.

amuse themselves with toys they do

Carlson, who was swimming vigorous

smooth sides of the pier and realized
the swimmer, exhausted by the cold
and exertion, could never pull himself
out He sat down on the edge and
continued to shout encouragement.
Carlson says he came near giving up
scant rod from the pier, but made
another effort and drew close.
Martin had thrown himself face
down on the pier. Bracing himself
with his stumps he edged cautiously
backward, letting his legs swing out
in the water as far as he could reach,
He felt the despairing swimmer grab
a foot, gritted his teeth, and hung on.
Carlson chung for few seconds, then,
aided by the armless man, pulled him
self up and tainted away.
1t was then that Martins other fac
ulties came into service. He threw
back his head and yelled until others
