MRS. LEAKE INDORSES IDEA
 OF CHARGING LICENSE FOR
 CHURCH DINNERS IN TOWN

merchants for tickets for themselves and employees who bought them for the sake of policy.
 After selling most all the merchants went to my fathers place for big sale, telling him of the purchases of the other business concerns. said, How many tickets, dad? Of course you want to buy the most"
 To my surprise he said, Yes daugh- ter, I will take an even hundred if you can answer this question in the affirm ative: Would you sell tickets to an ice cream festival to get money to buy that horse--that pretty bay-that you wantT"
 said why, no; most emphatically no, but daddy. you don't understand 'Yes, but I do understand" said he. land am trying to make you under stand that you must have just as much self-respect for your religion as for yourself" And said, .'Yes, dad, I do understand" And back I flew with the remaining tickets to the chairman of our commit tee and said, "I-er---don't believe it is quite right to sell these for the church-when I think too much of my self to raise funds for my personal benefit in this way"
 Amazed? Certainly. But catch your breath again and listen, and ask your self this question: "Is there one single woman among the dinner givers' who, if she needed piano or a range would advertise the fact, and on certain day and at a certain location would serve turkey dinner at 35 cents per to buy the need article, public invited?" Nay, veri1y, that is one of the benefit dtn- ners that would never be served. Why not bestir ourselves and wake up. quit infringing on the rights of the cafes and. above all. let the world know that women respect their religion just as much as they do themselves Meet the church needs by bit of self-de- nial. It can be done and everybody will be the happier for so doing. MRS MABEL FORD LEAKE.

Mrs. Mabel Ford Leake, secretary Of the Birmingham Retail Furniture Dealers association. and one of the best known advertising writers in Bir- mingham, writes letter to the edi- tor of The Age-Herald in which she comments Commissioner Arlie Barber for his stand on the question of church bazars and dinners in the downtown section.
 Mrs. Leake cites an instance of her girlhood as a reason for her dislike of the idea of church "ice cream so- cials," and the like. Her letter fol- lows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 No, MT. Editor, I will not begin this communication by tossing bouquet at The Age-Herald by Constant Reader" for bouquets are for the dead and the debutante, and The Age-Herald Is neither, it's continued growth and in creased circulation attesting this fact.
 Anent these church dinners given by the good and noble church women (note I do not say ladies, He never said. Lady, behold thy son." but, "Woman, ,"--that word is fraught with meaning).
 As to the financial loss and unjust ness of these dinners to the regular li- oensed people, who depend upon the success of their business for bread and butter, I had not thought until Com missioner Barber called attention to it..
 Even though, not looking at it from this viewpoint I have never been an advocate of dishing out turkey dinners. or any other kind, as to that for the benefit of the church.
 Why? Perhaps the following incident in my girlhood has much to do with my views on the subject: When I was in my early teens I helped along with the good work by selling tickets to an ice cream festival, holding up the

The ice men say the quality of ice
this year is better than for many years

able for cutting and storing. Unless
the warm weather comes early and

of the popularity and satisfactory SER

Morris Signers Object
Will Ask Congress to Stop Food
and Ammunition Shipment
to Warning Nations

Believing that it is not only moral
ly wicked but also breach of ne1-
trality to permit American shipping
and commercial interests to supply
warning European nations with food
stuffs and materials for warfare,
many Morris people have and will
sign a petition requesting congress
TO place an embargo on all future
shipment. This petition will be pre-
sented to Senator Knute Nelson and
Senator Clapp and to Representative
Volstead. Similar petitions are be-
ing drawn in all parts of the country
and sentiment is said to be overwhel-
mingly in favor of such a move.
Tue movement was started in this
city by Rev. Ryden, of Willmar. who
makes periodical visits to Morris.
Two weeks ago Rev. Ryden suggested
the matter to several members of his
congregation here and they endorsed
the plan. Rev. Ryden states that a
resolution embodying this plan is now
before both houses of congress and ac.
tion will be taken in a short time.
Because of powerful business interests
seeking to kill the bill united effort
on the part of the rome people must
be started to give the senators. and
representatives of this state an idea
what to do. Rev. Ryden is close
student of international affairs and has
spent some time in England and Ger
many. He believes that a nation
which prays for peace should do some
thing in q material way to maintain
it's neutrality. He believes that parry
ing for peace and then selling and
sending war material to the belliger-
ents is the rankest hypocrisy There
fore he has prepared the following
petition to the Minnesota senators and
representatives at Washington: "
"Bsing opposed to selling aud ship
ping war materials to helligerents in
EuFoa.s, we, as American citizens, re
spectfuily ask you to: vote for and
lend your active support to Senate
Resolution 66S8 and House Resolution
377 so that it may pass and become
law at this session of Congress.

be one of the most intere ting of the

cents will be charged. School children
will be admitted for twenty-five cents.
But this lecture is worth a good

Dr.. Gray has risen from the posi-

Mayer Has Heavy Loss
Residence and Household Goods
Damaged by Fire While
Hydrants are Frozen

Fire of mysterious origin broke
out in the kitchen at the John Mayer
residence Tuesday morning and before
the flames were under control by the
fremen considerable damage had been
done to the interior of the house and
the household goods. The loss is
estimated at about 81, 100. No lnsur-
ance was carried.
The fire alarm was turned in by q
neighbor and the department responded
Immediately. Some confusion was
experienced in receiving he informa
tion and the fremen hurriedly attach
ed the hose to hydrant near the
Schrieber residence and several min
utes we're lost in getting to the scene
of the fire. Three hydrants we're
tried and all of them were frozen.
The chemical brigade was the first to
reach the fire and after about half an
hours heroic work had the fire extin-
guisbed. The walls and floors and
much of the household goods were
ruined from the smoke and chemicals.
A $500 piano is totally ruined.
1t appears that the fire started in
the wall near the kitchen stove anG
was, inaccessible at first. 1t spread
rapidly and broke out at several
places when the fremen arrived.
Because of frozen hydrants no water
was used by the fire-fghters. The
residence is a new two -story frame
structure. MIR. and Mrs. Mayer
we're at their restaurant when the
fire was discovered and it was some
time before they learned of the
threatened destruction of their home.

OPERATED THOUGHT
BROAD PLATFORM FOR
PROGRESS
Retiring President of Improve
ment Union Gives Helpful
Message to New Commercial
Club.-New Officers Elected.

: "Co-operate in thought, was the
message which T. H. Mcguire, retir.
ing president of the Morris Improve
ment Union, gave to the business men
of Morris at their meeting last Friday
evening when the Morris Improve.
ment Union became the Morris Com
mercial Club and new officers were
elected. -..... -
Mr.. Mcguire reviewed some ef the
things which the improvement Union
has accom- plished during the past
two yesrs-putting on the great
Corn and Alfalfa Exposition and
other things of moment to the city.
The success of the organization in
its work had been due to the CO.
operation of thought with which
members had met the problems, and
MIR. Mcguire modestly declined to
take any credit to himself. He
spoke OF other problems remaining
/ to be settled-that the small city
will have to fight for its existence,
Sand that the problems will have to be
met by the business men and farmers
cooperating in thought as they have
been doing on other matters. The
presidents talk, which not only
marked his passing from Office but
also the passing of the Morris I'M
provement Union as such, was thought
fully and enthusiastically received.
Articles of association were adopted
by the Morris Commercial Club and
the name adopted by referendum vote.
New officers were elected as follows:-
Pres. A. Siverts.
