The Union Meetings which are be-
ing held at the Armory every night
except Saturday are proving to be
more and more int aresting with each
service. All who have heard Mr..
Smith in his quiet and sincere talks
have been strengthened and inspired
thereby. The music is an especially
attractive feature of the meetings.
Prof Gilmore is just getting the cho-
rus choir into shape and the music
will be even more effective in the
future than it has been in the past.
These who have attended the Bible
studies at the Congregational Church
in the afternoons have pronounced
them most interesting and helpful.
The Bible in the hands of Mr.. Smith
proves itself to be an inexhaustible
store house of truth, hope and inspir.

AUTO RACES DREW
MANY FROM MORRIS
500 Mile Contest at Minneapolis
Speedway Won By Earl
Cooper in 80 Mile Gait
w. S. Hammond,
Governor.

1t is estim ated fully forty thousand
people among which Morris was well
represented witnessed the speedway
motor races at Minneapolis Saturday
afternoon and saw Ea.l Cooper and
Gil Anderson, automobile speed mer-
chants, decide the ownership of a
$40. 600 prize. Sixteen cars entered
the race hut six of their driyera
including the favorites, were compelled
by engine trouble to quit. Cooper
defeated Andersn exactly one second
in one of the most dramatic finishes
seen at any automobile race in Ame
rica. Cooper made the 500 miles
in IT :29.
When the race started at noon Dario
Resta and Ralph De Palma in foreign
built cars were easily the favorites. At
100 miles Resta was eliminated be-
cause Of a broken oil pump, and at
100 De Palma dropped out because
of engine troubles. Ralph Mulford
and Bob Burman followed because of
similar troubles. Ed, O'Donnell, in
a Duessenberg built in st. Paul, was
halted. with broken differential brace
but his mechanician hurriedly un-
buckled his belt and fastened the end
to the bar and drove the car the rest
of the way landing in third place.
The three winning cars were Ameri-
can motors.
The Minneapolis Speedway is the
first 2-mile cement track built in this
country. 1t was finished few day:
before the races and the roughness o.
the concrete spelled defeat for the
drivers who sought to win by speed
Steady driving at 9O.mile gai
brought victory for Cooper. Barney
Oldfeld gave the spectators some
real excitement in spectacular burst!
of speed but failed to keep his engine
working properly. He was the frs
to have tire troubles and he had lot!
of them during the race.
Among the Morris people who saw
the race Herbert Probst is perhaps th'
only one who had the correct dope OF
the winner. On the way down to th'
city he ventured the prediction tina
Cooper would prove his skill. A
M inneapolis he found all the sport
pinning their faith to Resta and De
Palma. About fifteen automobile
from Morris made the trip to the race
and others went down by rail.

Has Mammoth Apple.

= Perhaps the, largest apple raised
in Stevens county this year is on dis
play at the Alberta State Bank where
it reposes on Cashier l.. P. Norby's
desk. 1t measures twelve and one
half inches in circumference and is
perfectly formed. and apparently
sound.
The apple was grown in the orchard
of Chris Eystad near Alberta. Mr..
Eystad says he has others still on the
trees which are just as large as this
one and which may even exceed it in
size. 1t is Wolf River apple and
resembles Ben Davis in appearance
and favor. Last year Mr.. Eystad ex-
hibited number of his mammoth ap-
pies at the county fair but doubts
were raised regarding his claims of
production. He has quite a number
of Wolf River trees, and some Of
them have borne fruit for the past
twenty-six years. He may decide to
enter some of his apples at the county
fair again this year.

is being taken in the coming race
meet to be held at the Stevens county
fair to be held in this city Sept. 80,

Besides many of the local race horses
entries are expected from Long Prai-
rie, Sauk Rapids, Ssuk Center, Alex
andria, Glenwood and other points.
Work necessary to place the Morris
track in the best of condition will be
commenced in plenty of time for the

the track in fine condition and if the
rains are not excessive from now on
till the races the track will be in the
best condition it has been for years.
Many other interesting sporting
events have been booked for the fair.
Aviator, Smith who is thrilling
crowds daily at the state fair, and

OLD SCHOOL USED
WHEN SEATS FAIL
Chair Company Responsible For
Delay in Opening High
School Monday Morning

More or less confusion among school
children was caused Monday morning
with the announcement that the new
high school building would not be
used as per plans. Many who gath
cred at the building were directed to
the west side high school and to the
Lincoln building where lessons were
assigned and where the school sessions
are being held.
Owing to irregularities at the off j.
ces of school supply house which
was to furnish the seats for the new
high school building, the seats had
not arrived on time for them to be
placed when school opened Monday
morning. When the contract was
given for the seats some time last
June it was the express understanding
the company was to have them install
led by August 1. Further delays were
caused by the railroad companies and
the seats did not arrive till Tuesday
this week. Workmen began the task
of putting them on the floor Wednes-
day and it will probably require ano
ther week before the new building
can be used. 500 seats are to be in
stalled.
Many of the new teachers who ar
rived in Morris prior to the opening
of the schools Monday morning have
visited the new high school and de.
clare it to be the finest high school
building they know of. They are more
than pleased with the excellent equip
ment and convenient arrangement OF
the building.
Taking advantage of the-absence OF
the school children today plumbers
and csrpentefsaare putting on the fin:
ishing touches and when the doors are
thrown open on Monday sept..20, all
will be in readiness.
Work of grading and sidewalk
laying on Sixth street in front of the
high school will probably be finished
within week. .I9a

! ter and introduced the speakers in a
pleasing manner.
A piano solo by Miss Helen Hoadley
was much enjoyed. III
| The toast ''Off again on again." by
Miss Liela Johnson was very ably
handled She said her subject was
very appropriate just now owing to the
fact that the League had been discon-
tinued during the summer months and

off the list who had been on, and should
be on again

spirit of the first, that one could not
help but apply the last part of the
motto
The address of the evening was given
by Thomas Rivers Cf Madison, junior
! at the university, whose home is in
Mississippi. He gave very inspiring
talk on the possibilities of the Epworth
league. He showed how the various de-
partments of the organization afford op
portunities for the young people to
work together and to be of real service
| to one another and to the community.
He appealed to the young men present
to go into active religious work and
mentioned the fact that many of the
leading men at the state university are
prominent in Y. M. C. A. work and
other religious activities. The captain
Of the football team is also president
of the Y. NJ c. A.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
the young people to attend their special
