BOYS CLUB ROOMS
OPENED BY PASTOR
Rev. Stever Takes Interest in
Morris Youth and Will Pro-
vide Suitable Sports

Rev. Stever. pastor of the First
Congregational church in this city. is
proving himself the friend of the
boys in Morris. Believing that
something should be done in the way
of improving conditions for the de-
velopment of body and mind of his
young friends Rev. Stever has opened
a suite of three rooms in the Spooner
block which will be used as a boys
club. Every boy in Morris will be
invited to become mem ber regardless
of school or church affiliations. In this
work Rev. Stever feels he will have
the interest of every parent at heart.
Armed with brooms, mops and gobs
of soap and hot water Rev. Stever and
several assistants invaded the rooms
last week and began systematic
cleanup. Afterwards two desks, chairs
and part of the Stever library were
moved into one of the rooms and the
other two rooms are soon to receive
suitable furniture. Une of the rooms
will be fitted up as reading ard lec-
ture room and the, other will be de-
voted to amusement features. The
rooms are we'll lighted and ventilated,
Several popular games among boys
will be provided. Odd Pins game
resembling bowling and played on
table; Cue Roquel, played on slate
table and scored the same as in cro-
quet; shuttle board and ping pong
are among the amusements already de-
cided upon. Newspapers, books and
magazines and ether reading matter
appealing to boy fancy will be provi-
ded.
I" I don't know yet just what hours
the rooms will be open,'' said Rev.
Stever to the Tribune yesterday, but
think 9 to 12ssa. m. daily, and z to
9 p m. thee nights week as a star
ter will give us line on the require
ments. | want to see every boy in
Morris come here and enjoy himself
and | am sure the parents can rest
satisfied the boy will have a good,
clean Wholesome time
Although the club is undertaken on
a very modest plan it represents an
outlay of about $780, $35 per month
is estimated as the cost of maintain
ance. Rev. Stever has interviewed a
number of business men and citizens
and after unfolding the plans has met
with enthusiastic endorsement. Fin
ancial support has been pledged and
it appears the entire cost will be met
1 by popular contribution. From severa
sources have come suggestions OF
making the club non-sectarian or
ganization and Rev. Stever says thi
would meet with his hearty approval
But his greatest interest is that some
thing be done for the welfare Of th
boys.

FARMERS TO HAVE
new TALK SYSTEM
Forty Miles of New Telephone
Brings Rich Farm Section in
Touch with Morris

Finishing touches are being put on
today on a new farmers telephone
line through Darnen. Synnes and Scott
which will connect with the Stevens
County Telephone exchange in this
city. Connections will be made near
the city limits and the service will
probably be commenced next week.
The new line taps rich agricultural
section and brings it much nearer to
Morris.
Work on the Darnen-Synnes line
was commenced about August l with
thirty phone users. Since that time ten
more have been added and there is
room for about ten more on the line.
Shares in the new company were $50
each when work started but they have
risen in value since that time. Forty
miles of wire has been strung and
phones of the latest approved pattern
are being installed. The line is a
grounded system but provisions were
made to transform it into metallic
system later on.
Through negotiations with the local
exchange in Morris the new line will
maintain its central in Morris and
each shareholder will have access to
connections to all points leading into
the city.
Messrs. Messner, Casey and Tran.
tow are the original promoters of the
new line.
