more and more of an educational
centre it draws yearly larger number
Of boys and young men, who need a
common meeting place of the right
kind. Even boys who have their
homes here need to mix with other
boys, and this intermingling is done
largely outside the home. In larger
cities the Y. M. c.. A. and church
clubs furnish desirable environments
for such association. The club which
Mr.. Stever is seeking to establish
aims to meet the need in a city the
size of ours.
Three hundred dollars is needed for
the establishment of suitable club
rooms and thirty five dollars per
month will cover the running ex-
penses. One hundred and fifty five
dollars have already been raised
toward the equipment and twenty -four
dollars toward the maintenance. Mr..
Stever reports that every business
man thus far approached has contri-
buted most literally to the cause. and
he anticipates little trouble in secur-
ing the balance needed.

This Weigelt did and when he re-

No clue as to the party or parties
who took it has been found. How
many people knew where WeigeIt kept

The banks now, as for many years

charge of drainage work in the county
shows determined opposition from
some of those who need it the worst
while some of those who have selected
their farms because they are we'll
drained are making efforts to drain
them better.
The composition of Stevens County
soil makes tile draining success.
The more complete the system, the
greater the success. The black sur
face soil is never gumbo and as soon
as the underdrainage takes the water
away and the air comes in contact
with it it becomes loose and mellow
and the drainage is easier and quicker
than at first.
The deep black soil of the slough
bottoms gets firm and dry before
the hillsides when they are tiled and
raises the best crops of any land.
A we'll drained Stevens county
has great future.

GROWTH OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
MINNESOTA TAKES FIRST PRizR
IN NATIONAL CONTESTS.
State Has $50 Establishments That
Produce Butter and Cheese, Sup
piled by 1,215,000 Cows.
By J. J. Farrell,

BY y. J. Farrell,
Dairy and Food Commissioner.
Minnesota has $50 establishments
that produce butter and cheese approx
imately 700 of which are upon a coop
erative basis. These factories are sup
piled in part by 1,215,OOO cows produc-,
ing $72,125,000 worth Of milk annually
and $S,75O,OOO worth Of calves. The
by-products of the dairy are, at con-
sentative figure, worth $4,000, 900, max
Ing grand total OF more than 100000
600.
The rapid growth of the dairy and
creamery industry in Minnesota is with
out parallel in the history of the
country. Quality, as well as quantity
b evidenced by the fact that for ten
consecutive years Minnesota has taken
FIRST prize in<all national contests. At
the last National Convention, held in
Mason City, Iowa, in 1916, in competi-
ton with twenty-three states Minnesota
won first and second place, as well as
the grand sweepstakes. No other state
can show such record.

OVER One MILLION
AT MORRIS BANKS
Enormous Banking Figures Tell
Story of Prosperity in Live
County Seat Town 81

A fair idea of the prosperity of
Stevens county may be gained this
fall when the banks issue their state
ments. In all probability the figures
for the total amount in all the county
banks will exceed two million dol1ars,
and may even run much more. In
the three banks in Morris alone lis
sure to be found one million. That
would be pretty good showing for
any town much larger than Morris.
According to the bank statements
issued by the three banks in this city
last June the total amount of money
on hand was almost 1868, ZOO. That
was long after the movements of farm
crops had ceased, farmers were busy
at home and there was lull in bust
ness and financial circles everywhere.
In the average agricultural section of
Minnesota June is regarded as quiet
month for business and Morris is no
exception. When the state bank ex.
aminer called for his statements last
June he found the following amounts
on hand in the banks in Morris.

business and through his efforts

Mr.. Siverts is also the president of
the Morris Commercial Club.
Morris banks assume a prominent
part in the progress and develop
ment of the city and county. The
officials are conservative, yet liberal
and accommodating men. Farmers
and investors along with business men
and persons who need financial assist
ance in any proposition that has merit
find a helping hand. The men at the
bank are always ready and willing to
answer questions and give out bust !
ness information legitimately. TFere
are lots of good business and farm
opportunities in Stevens codnty and
the Morris banks have wealth of
money and information.

FUTURE OF COUNTY
LIES in DRAINAGE

Loose and Mellow when

BY ]. E. Cole, Drainage Engineer.

Drainage in Stevens County has as
yet scarcely begun. A few main
bitches have been built, few sloughs
have been tiled but up to the present
time one can count on the fingers Of
one hand the farms that have been
tiled out with any idea Of system.

LOW constitute a considerable item of the public debt. But I, for one, do not be- Feve that the people of this country ap- prove of postponing the payment of their pills. Borrowing money is short-sighted finance. It can be justified only when permanent things are to be accomplished which many generations will certainly benefit by and which it seems hardly air that a single generation should pay or. The objects we are now proposing To spend money for cannot be so classi- lied except in the sense that everything wisely done may be said to be done in the Interest of posterity as we'll as in our pwn. It seems to me a clear dictate pf prudent statesmanship and frank finance that in what we are now, hope, hbout to undertake we should pay as we titled to know just what burdens of tax Etion they are to carry, and to know from the outset now. The new bills mould be paid by internal taxation.
 To what sources, then, shall we turn?
 This is so peculiarly a question which Ehe gentlemen of the House of Repre- senatatives are expected under the con- to propose an answer to that you will hardly expect me to do more than discuss it in very general terms. We should be following an almost universal Example of modern governments if we
 were to draw the greater part or even he whole of the revenues we need from

ough canvass of the whole question whether our laws as at present framed and administered are as serviceable as they might be in the solution of the problem. It is obviously a problem that lies at the very foundation of our ef- ficiency as a people. Such an inquiry ought to draw out every circumstance and opinion worth considering and we need to know all sides of the matter if we mean to do anything in the field of federal legislation.
 No one, am sure, would wish to take any backward step. The regula ton of the railways of the country by federal commission has had admirable results and has fully Justified the hopes and expectations of those by whom the policy of regulation was originally pro- posed The question is not what should undo? It is. whether there is anything else we can do that would supply us with effective means in the very pro- cess of regulation, for hettering the conditions under which the railroads are operated and for making them more useful servants of the country as a whole. It seems to me that 1t might be the part of wisdom, therefore be- fore further legislation in this field is attempted, to look at the whole prob

 For what we are seeking now, what in my mind is the single thought of this message, is national efficiency and se eurhy. We serve a great nation. We should serve it in the spirit of its pe- culiar genius. It is the genius of com mon men for self government, industry, justice, liberty and peace We should see 10 it that it lacks no instrument. no facility or vigor of law, to make it sufficient to play its part with energy. safety, and assured success. In this we are no partisans but heralds and prophets of a new age.

 ''The efficient salesman or saleswom&n never jumps at false or rash conclusions.

 An elderly gentleman got out of his limousine one morning, entered this girl s department, raised his hat politely and said:

FORGET THEIR HONOR

I wish that it could be said that only few men, misled by mistaken sentiments of allegiance to the governments under which they were born, had been guilty of disturbing the self-possession and mis- representing the temper and principles of the country during these days of terrible war, when it would seem that every man who was truly an American would in stinctively make it his duty and his pride to keep the scales of judgment even and prove himself a partisan of no nation but his own. But it cannot. There are some men among us, and many resident abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling themselves Americans
 have so forgotten themselves and their honor as citizens as to put their passion ate sympathy with one or the other side in the great European conflict above their regard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice disloyalty. No laws, I suppose, can reach corruptions of the mind and heart; but I should not speak of others without also speaking of these and ex- pressing the even deeper humiliation and scorn. which every self-possessed and thoughtfully patriotic American must feel when he thinks of them and of the dis credit they are daily bringing upon us
 While we speak of the preparation of the nation to make sure of her security and her effective power we mus, not fall into the patent error of supposing that

1 without anywhere making the burden un- reasonably or oppressively heavy. The precise reckonings are fully and accu- rately set out in the report of the Secre-
 tary of the Treasury which will be im- mediately laid before you
 And there are many additional sources
 of revenue which can justly be resorted to without hampering the industries of the country or putting any too great charge upon individual expenditure. A tax of 1 per cent per gallon on gasoline and naph- tha would yield, at the present estimated production, $10.000,000; a tax of 50 cents
 per horsepower on automobiles and inter-
 nal explosion engines, $1500O,00O; a stamp tax on bank cheques, probably $1S,OOO 600: tax Of 70 cents per ton on pig iron $l0,- 0O0OV0; tax of 9 cents per ton on fabri- cated iron and steel, probably $10,O0OO00 1 In country of great industries like this 1t ought to be easy to distribute the bur dens of taxation without making them
 anywhere bear too heavily or too excu- sively upon any one set of persons or un- dertakings. What is clear is, that the industry of this generation should pay the bills of this generation.
 UNNEUTRAL CONDUCT
 have spoken to you today, gentlemen, upon single theme, the thorough prepa- | ration of the nation to care for it's own security and to make sure of entire free dom to play the impartial role in this hemisphere and in the world which we all believe to have been providentially as- signed to it. I have had in my mind no thought of any immediate or particular danger arising out of our relations with other nations We are at peace with all the nations of the world, and there is req son to hope that no question in contro- very between this and other governments Twill lead to any serious breach of amicab1e

relations, grave US some differences of at titude and policy have been and may yet turn out to be. I am sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and .afety have been uttered with in our own borders. There are citizens of the United States. l blush to admit, born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our government into contempt, to destroy our industries where ever they thought it effective for their vindictive purposes to strike at them, and to debase OUT politics to the uses Of for eign intrigue. Their number is not great as compared with the whole number of those sturdy hosts by which our nation has been enriched in recent generations out of virile foreign stocks; but it is great enough to have brought deep disgrace upon us and to have made it necessary that we should promptly make use of pro- cesses of law by which we may be purged of their corrupt distempers. America never witnessed anything like this before. It never dreamed it possible that men sworn into it's own citizenship, men drawn out of great free stocks such as supplied some or the pest anu SlTOilSeSI eieInenlS of that little, but how heroic nation that in a high day of old staked its very life to free itself from every entanglement that had .darkened the fortunes of the older nations and set up new standard here-that men of such origins and such free choices of allegiance would ever turn iii malign reaction against the govern ment and people who had welcomed and nurtured them and seek to make this proud country once more a hotbed of Eu- ropean passion. A little while ago such a thing would have seemed incredible Be- cause it was incredible we made no preparation for it. We would have been almost ashamed to prepare for it, as if we were suspicious of ourselves. our own comrades and neighbors! But the ugly and incredible thing has actually come about and we are without adequate fed- eral laws to deal with it. I urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in doing so I am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crushed out They are not many but they are infinitely malig
 nant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have formed plots to destroy property they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the government they have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with.
