LARGE GATHERING

Fascinating Program Given by

Friends at Orpheum

Every seat was taken and every
available space at the spacious Or

by friends and relatives of the senior
class at the Morris high school when
the seniors presented their class
plays. ''An Editors Office, an
original playlet by members of the
class, end "No Men Wanted" were
the leading productions. "Local and
Long Distance" furnished a good deal
Of amusement. dnd the song drill was
exceptionally clever.
The plays were we'll staged and
every member in the caste showed
much careful study in the parts. The
skill with which the lines we're hand
led won the admiration and applause
of the audience and it would be diff
cult to describe any of the particular
points in which any of the students
excelled. About thirty five students
participated in the entertainment.

OPTION PETITION
HAS 600 SlCNERS
Stevens County Will Take Early
Vote on Liquor Question
Committee Banqueted

Up till Tuesday morning about six
hundred persons had signed the petit
tions which will be filed with the
county auditor asking for vote on
the liquor question in Stevens county.
Signatures are still being received
and it is expected something like
eight hundred names will appear when
it goes on file at the court house.
Yesterday the members of the county
option petition committee had ban
quet at the La Grand hotel at which
time various features of the work in
hand were discussed.
No decision has been reached in
the matter of date for filing with
the county auditor. The law requires
special election not earlier than
forty or later than fifty days after the
/. auditor receives the petition. There
is considerable sentiment in favor o1
and election some time in late Junf
or early July, or in time to make the
county a dry zone about Jan. 1, in
case the county option forces carry
in the special election.
The dry territory was extended
over in South Dakota last Tuesday
when Aberdeen and Milbank. hereto.
fore considered unredeemable wet
territory, went over to the drys. In
Otter Tail county, the largest coun.
ty in Minnesota, the county option
forces have 1000 names on their list
and the election has been set for June
z. Only two saloons remain in the
county at tha present time.

Hurrah! Straw Lid Out

The first straw hat to be worn on
the streets OF Morris this season ap-
peared Monday as token that sum
mer is near.
To Dr. Clark belongs the distinc-
tion of setting the pace in straw COW
ers this year. In order to escape the
charges that he is fastidious. or ex-
ceeding the speed limit, he brought
forth lid of the vintage of 1906 with
wide brims and round, high crown,
such as were popular in the hay fields
when Theodore Roosevelt made hay at
Oyster Bay.
Any time now straw hat displays
may be expected in the show windows
at the stores. Any time now Mayor
Jones may issue his orders regarding
the straw hat in Morris or the open.
ing season for it's use. Heretofore
June 1 has been regarded as the ap.
prcpriate date on which to appear il
nice, cool straw hat, but if the fas.
hion set by DR.. Clark is to be followed
June will have to give way to April
and the Mayor must change the dates
and the straw lid may be placed or

festivals.

PICTURE TALES
OF LEADING MEN
Tribune Cartoonist Will Present
Some Prominent Morris Man
Each Week

The Tribune this week presents to
its many interested readers the first
OF a series of pen and ink sketches of
,''Our Men of Affairs'-the promin-
ent men of Morris who have done
things and are doing things of perm.
anent value to the community.
Cartoonist Hume has been engaged
by The Tribune to do this work-one
of the most ambitions projects ever
undertaken by country weekly. Mr..
Hume has been here for a couple of
weeks and already has several sketches
completed. These will be published
at the rate of one a week during the
spring and summer.
Mr.. Hume's work speaks for itself.
Not only are his sketches of excep-
tional merit from the artists stand
point. but the manner in which the
events, work and hobbies are pre-.
sented in the little sketches around
the portraits show rare skill in the
kindly way in which they make the
prominent men of our community
better known to ourselves.
A newspaper can do no better work
than to make people better acquaint.
ed with one another, and especially
with the best in one another and the
work which each man is doing or ha:
done. The best community is the one
in which each appreciates most highly
the work of the other. The Tribune
hopes by this series to increase thil
appreciation of one another in thi!
community.
