Meets Painful Injury

A fractured collar bone and other
minor bruises and scratches was the
extent of the damage done to the per.
SON of John Driscoll at the Heating
farm near this city Wednesday after
noon last week when he fell through
an opening in the hay NOW. The dis
tance of his fall was about eight feet
and he landed on his head and should
ers. He believes that his escape from
death was due to Providence.
Driscoll came up from Indiana some
months ago for Mr.. Keating and had
several times a week explored the re-
gions in the hay NOV. Just how he
happened to fall through the opening
he cannot explain. Because of the
time required for the injuries to
heal, Driscoll started for home this
week to spend the time with his fam
i:y but expects to return to Morris
later in the season. In the meantime
Mr.. Heating will remodel the hay
NOW lest similar accidents occur in
the future.

a demonstration of pluck and self con-

in such manner as to break both
bones in the left wrist. She regained
her feet unaided, ran into the mouse

MANY WOMEN WILL
GATHER IN MORRIS
SIXTEEN TOWNS TO SEND
DELEGATIONS
Students and Literary Clubs of
Morris Plan Rousing Program
When Federation Meeting is
Held Here in May

The Students and the Literary Club
of Morris are to entertain the Dis
trict Federation on May 18th and
18th of this year.
Preparations are now being made
for this meeting which will comprise
representatives of the twenty clubs
of sixteen towns of the Seventh Con-
glessional District. A program of up.
to-date subjects will be discussed by
the visiting club women including the
State President, Mrs. C. l.. Atwood
of st. Cloud, and DR.. Vincent of the
University will give an address on the
evening of the 18th.
At the Midwinter Luncheon re-
Gently held at the bennington in Min
neapolis there was an audiance of over
six hundred women from various parts
of the state. Affairs at the council
meeting moved with clocklike preci-
sion. Tne subjects taken up were
those of practical matters Of the day
and the session was one of unusual
interest.
Among the resolutions adopted were
these: That the federation reaffirm
its stand in regard to an appropriation
for woman's reformatory
For the continuation of the opera
tion cf the Elwell law and the enact
ment of further laws in regard to
good roads;
For the continuation of the correct
weights and measures department as
separate department of the state ;
That part Of the funds available
under the Smith Lever act be expended
for the benefit Of the women Of the
state in the following manner. That
five members be added to the state
agricultural college extension staff
in home economics-an e. tension Sc
cretary for the Farmers clubs-ar
extension secretary for the Farm
Women's clubs-and three teachers
additional to those now in the field
a specialist each in nutrition, textiles
and sanitation and health.
The growing Importance of the in
flSence of the Federated Clubs may be
illustrated by noting two recen
events. First: There can be nj
doubt but that the carrying of amend
ment number nine at the last election
was largely due to the work o. tn
club woman. Second: the appearance
of Mr.. Vasely befure the Woman
Club to explain and justify the actio1
of the Board of Pardons in the Nc
Nabb case.

New Department in the

The recent exposures of the man

light another novelty, that Of > street

partment. or the operation Of two
separate and distinct street depart
ments. One is paid out Of the ap-
preparation set aside for streets ana
public works and the other out OF the
general fund.
The comptroller's statement OF now
the city commissioners under-estl-
mated the general fund expense by
$50 900 for six months, reveals that
out of this fund a separate and dis
tinct street force was maintained
This street force some time between
the months of January and June OF
this wear drew about 1900. The
comptroller, in imparting the infor'
nation Of the expenditure, was not
50 abliging as to state what work
was done by this street force, but i
is evident on the face that it was I
department created and operated "fol
. purpose"
There have been numerous novelties
in city administration brought to lgh
since the present city commissioner
began to rule at the city hall. but t
operate a street department within
the general department, and a stree
department in the public works de
partment, places the commissioner
in class by themselves.
With these things coming to Ugh
it is no wonder that the commission
ers, who possibly did not consider thi
departure last October in drawing
their budget, underestimate by $50,
900 their general fund expenditures.
