Was Good to the G.. N.

There was a famine of small change
in Morris last Saturday when the
dimes, quarters and halves disappeared
as by magic. All three of the banks
ran short for time and there was
more or less trouble in making chance.

cashiers. SIT is not often there is
such demand. The mill and the

it necessary to clean US out. Gold,
which was plentiful two months ago,
is beginning to dwindle but will ap-
pear again after the holidays. Re-
ports from the west indicate search
ty of currency and an abundance OF
gold. Quarters and dimes are the
most popular with the general public
at this time of the year when there is
so much money in circulation among
the farmers. These coins go to make
up the bulk of CHANGE

Harvest Beginning-A Big One

Harvest will soon begin and be
big one, according to T. j. Delahunt,
who is on the other side of the world
in the Argentine Republic. He has
many old friends in Morris and has not
forgotten that it's Thanksgiving time
here, with its attendant festivities.
In letter to Mike Mahoney, he says
II concluded to drop you a few
lines and let you now how things are
going with me. Well, so far l am
just moving around to kill time but
the harvest will be on in a few weeks
now and then we will have to go some

Short on Change

J. M. Buckley, the sage of Lake
Hattie, was a Morris visitor Monday
with reports concerning the ducks. He
stated about every bird which was
whole of life and limb had left the
lake. and that few hunters were
making that section. He also stated
the threatening troubles over the cleo
ton of a school treasurer in his dis
trict last fall had been settled and
that all parties interested were salts
fed. Coming over from Alberta the
conductor failed to find Buckley on
the train. Feeling deep generation
for the soulless Great Northern rail-
way system Mr.. Buckley hunted up
the brakeman and rendered his fare
with the sage advise: "Tell that
new boy conductor to look out for
some of these old whiskered pioneers
on the Browns Valley line. They are
slipping something over on him.

TWO CONVICTED ON
OBSCENITY CHARGE
Morris Attorney Takes Promin
ent Part in Trial and is Ban
quoted by Friends

Charged with selling obscene liter
ature and in other ways ruffiing the
peace and dignity of people at Ben
son, F. B. Jordan, of Minneapolis,
who has reputation as an anti Cath
Ollie speaker, was convicted in court at
Benson one day last week after two
trails which caused sensation. J. B.
Ormond, the we'll known attorney
from this city, was one of the leading
prosecutors. After the trial Mr..
Ormond was honored with a banquet
at the Merchants hotel at which many
of his friends in Morris gathered.
Speeches and a smoker followed the
feast.
Jordan and a companion named
Johnson began their agitations at
Litchfeld early last fall and were ar
rested. Later they appeared at Will
mar where their tents were cut and
considerable ill-feeling was aroused.
Their meetings continued for awhile
under police protection and interest
soon cooled. At Benson they were
again arretsed on a peace disturbance
charge but the trial ended in their
acquittal. Their second arrest fol-
lowed on the obscenity charges. Books
sold were introduced in evidence and
were read to the jury. Judge Qvale,
of Willmar, presided at the trial last
week. The jury brought in g
verdict of guilty and fine OF
$3.50 was assessed against Jordan.
Reports from Benson indicate Jor-
dan has expressed his intentions tc
continue his meetings there and al
other places. If he does he will prob
ably be more careful about the quality
of literature he sells. There is no law
upon the statute books which will pre-.
vent his appearances and he may talk
upon any subject he wishes so long as
he observes decency and refrains from
personally ibelous statements. His
methods of reform are not appreciated
generally and it is doubtful if any
good comes from his agitations.

Literary Club

The Morris Literary Club was en-
tertained at the home of Mrs. F. R.
Putnam, November %. There was
very large attendance. The literary
program was in charge of Mrs. P. E.
Miller. The subject of current events
was the present war situation, taking
up the subject els China to become an
Empire. - Mrs. P. E. Miller talked
on the negative side and she had
good authority for saying that it
would remain as it is at present. The
second topic, "Lackawanna Rail-
way" In building this railway it is
said to have been accomplished only
by the most wonderful engineering
feats of the United States, far greater
than those of the Rocky Mountains.
The regular program consisted of q
paper on the court life of Louis Nap
oleon by Mrs. Coy Hemming. Prin-
cess Imperial by Miss Hathorn, Prin-
cess Eugena by Mrs. Ware, Village
fete and festivals by Mrs. Light
The meeting adjourned to meet with
Mrs. Robert Adams December 6.

PHONE MAN PASSES
HIS PHONEY CHECKS
Slick Forger Spreads Woe at
Glenwood After Spending
Whole Week in Town

Glenwood banks and business houses
have been victimized to the extent of
about S125 because they cashed checks
for stranger who came to town with
a woman, hung around for week and
then left in the night for parts I'M
known. The man gave the name of
J. c.. Bailey and the Glenwood police
are looking for him. The checks were
drawn on bank at Wadena which re-
fused payment.
Bailey's methods of operation were
slightly different from the average
slick individual who makes forgeries
a speciality. He and the Mrs. came
from Wadena and secured rooms at
the Henry Ronning residence while
Mr.. Bailey began work for the North
western Telephone Co. The couple
spent several days about town getting
acquainted and then Bailey flashed his
bogus checks which were cashed with
out question. Small purchases were
made at the stores and the checks
made out in sums ranging from a few
dollars to $50, were rendered in pay
ment. When the checks began COM
ing back Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey had
flown. There are no clues to their
present whereabouts.
For the first time since the city of
East Grand Forks was incorporated its
citizens awoke Wednesday morning
to find the town without saloons.
Thirty wet business places closed their
doors Tuesday night in East Grand
Forks and about as many more in 9TH
err villages in Polk county followed.
The business men have organized an
enforcement league and publicly an
nounce their intentions to enforce the
laws against blind piggers and boot
leggers.
Another incongruity has been dis
covered in Minnesota's complicated
game laws. 1t has been pointed out
that the laws permit resident hunter
to kill deer or an antlered moose.
The non resident hunter may kill both
a deer and an antlered moose, but the
law prevents him from taking them
outside the state. Carlos Avery, game
and fish commissioner, does not think
the legislature intended this discrim-
ination in favor Of the non resident
hunter, and he also wonders why a
non resident hunter is permitted to
kill moose if he is not permitted to
take it home. People are beginning
to think too many cheap lawyers have
been sent to the legislature.
Wedding garments became the
shroud of Theodore Krebsbach on the
day set for his marriage to Miss
Susie Spaeth at the Spring Hill Cath
Ollie church in Stearns county Tuesday
morning of last week. Instead of the
happy marriage ceremonies the young
man was consigned to his grave while
his bride to-be and his relatives
mourned silently at their homes. Only
the priest and necessary attendants
witnessed tn burial. Black diphtheria
had reached out it's hand and claimed
him for its own. Krebsbach was g
young man "a years of age, farmer
in Padua township where he had furn,
ished home in anticipation of his
marriage and future home life.
