CLUB GUESTS HEAR
PLEA FOR BEAUTY
J. B. Ormond is Chief Speaker
at Club Reception Tuesday
Evening at Armory

Over two hundred persons were
guests of the Morris commercial club
at a reception and party held at the
armory Tuesday evening which marked
the eighth annual event given by the
club. Attorney J. B. Ormond was the
chief speaker of the evening and he
made a mastery and entertaining talk
on the matter of beautifying the city.
His suggestions have been the subject
of discussions during the week; and
has found many champions. -
The entertainment program was in
line with previous successful programs
given by the club and was highly en-
joyed by all. The committee in charge
of arrangements is deserving of much
credit. The reception was a social
as we'll as financial success, and the
proceeds amounted to $112.85 net.
After short program at cards,
music and readings, Mr.. Ormond
was given the floor. From the very
first he succeeded in convincing his
audience that he fully understood the
subject assigned him to speak on.
He called to mind many unsightly
places about the city and suggested
remedy. His suggestions that white
pines be planted on the high school
grounds to add to its beauty and to
shut off the view of the cemeteries
beyond, were met with hearty ap-
pIause. He condemned the prevailing
popular white paint for residences and
thought shades of brown would be
better. He made plea for the re-
moval of trees from the boulevards,
especially on Fifth and Sixth streets,
VIII ere the branches of trees were
already reaching far into the street
and will sooner or later interlock,
shutting off the views. He paid
"beautiful Crystal Lake" high COM
plement but thought something should
be done in the way of rescuing this
sheet of water and making it place
of beauty. Although his subject is
regarded as one of the "dryest' on
which anyone could speak Mr.. Ormond
succeeded in making it highly enter
tanning and his thoughts were set
forth in a manner which caused fre-
quent laughter and applause. The
Tribune is unable today to devote
more space to this interesting and
important subject but hopes to be
able to present more extended ex-
tracts from Mr.. Ormond's speech
in the next issue.
After the Ormond address the
floors were cleared for dancing. An
elaborate lunch was served at mid.
night after which dancing was re-
sumed and continued into the morning
hours. Watzke's orchestra of five
pieces furnished the music.

Ford and Dog Collide

The first automobile accident of the
season on the streets of Morris took
place Tuesday afternoon and the
victim was a farmers dog. The car
was a Ford. AS the car came down
Seventh street and turned into At
lantic avenue the dog bounded from
the curb and made fierce attack up
on the front wheel tire. The animal
was bowled over and the car passed
over its body, breaking both. front
legs. Yowling with pain the dog
dragged itself back to the curb where
it lay for several hours before it was
taken away and mercifully killed. So
far the ownership of the dog has not
been established.

Appreciates Kindness

Rev. Henry Nobbs is in receipt of
a letter from Mrs. M. L. Hesler, of
Exeter, CAL, in which she desires to
express her gratitude and apprecia-
tion for the acts of kindness and
words of sympathy rendered in the
death and burial of her son, Charles
Hesler, who died at the Soldiers
Home and was brought here for inter-
ment some weeks ago. Mrs. Hesler
was unable to come to Morris at the
time and all the funeral arrangements
were left in the hands of Morris
friends.

WOODS PLAN TOUR
BY AUTO IN WEST
Former Morris Family Prepare
for Long Joy Ride-Leave
Sioux City June Is

Among Morris people who will
spend the summer in the Rockies and
the Pacific coast states will be E. N.
Wood and family, former residents of
this city but now living at Sheldon,
Ia. The trip which Mr.. Wood and his
family contemplate will probably be
different from any of the others
planned by Morris people, and will be
unique from the fact that they will
travel in an automobile and will be in
no hurry to cover the route.
Mr.. Wood spent several days in
Morris this week settling up business
matters following the sale of his farm
last fall at which time he conducted
an auction sale after which he and
Mrs. Wood went to Sheldon to care
for Mrs. Woods aged parents, Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Randall. Mr.. Ran
dali died early last winter, news of
which reached Morris at the time.
While here Mr.. Wood completed plans
for his western trip and it is under
stood he offered we'll known Morris
young man a chance to accompany him
of the tour, promising good time
and all expenses paid. Unfortunately
the young man was not in a position
to accept the offer because of business
reasons, and he reluctantly refused.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wood and their party
will leave Sioux City about June Is
in their handsome new Studebaker
car. They will carry camping out
fit and all other necessary equipment
for making an outing thoroughly en-
joyable. Their first long stop will be
made at Denver with side trips to
Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs.
Then comes Salt Lake City and a
plunge in the surf. "We are arrang-
ing for Sunday there in order to at
tend meetings at the Mormon Temple
of which we have heard so much, -
said Mr.. Wood. From there the party
will proceed leisurely on to California
and all the points of interest in the
Pacific coast states. "We are not
going to be in hurry, and we hope
we won't miss anything good. l
know it will be long job at the
wheel but expect to find some nice
young man who knows how to drive
a car and who will like to see the
west in this way, and will share
the driving with him. We will have
another car in the party so we won't
be lonesome. None of US are in a
hurry to go or come, and we nope
we shall not be disappointed in our
anticipations of an enjoyable sum-
mer."
Mr.. Wood has promised to favor
the Tribune with an occaional letter
on the trip. There is every assurance
that these letters will be interesting
to every reader because of Mr.. Wood S
wide acquaintance hereabouts, and he
is known as keen observer and en-
tertainlng descriptive writer.

SIGNATURES Came Easy

Just to settle a bet regarding the
ease of getting signatures to petit
tion a Fargo man went out and Sc
cured twenty names in less than ten
minutes. The petition was addressed
to the North Dakota governor asking
that the road to Tipperary be short
ened. None Of those who signed the
paper took pains to learn the nature
of the contents, but were under the
impression they were asking the gov
ernor to do something about good
roads.

OBITUARY

MIS-. F. R. Paine returned last
Wednesday evening from Ashland,
Wis.,, at which place on Monday last
the body of her mother, Mrs. Ca
Uterine Hedican, was laid at rest in
the family cemetery, following fu-
neral services at the Catholic church
at that place.
Mrs. Hedican, whose death was
briefly noted in these columns last
week, was born in Kerry county, Ire
land, in 1927, she being 80 years old
at the time of her death. At the
age of nine years she emigrated with
her parents to Pembrook, Canada,
and at the age of nineteen she mar
ried Edward Hedican at that place.
Ihirty-one years ago the family
moved to Ashland, Wis.,, where her
husband died and was buried in 1891.
Following the death of her husband
she remained in Ashland about three
years and then came to Grand Ma
rails, having since made her home at
this place with her daughter, Mrs.
F. R. Paine.
Mrs. Hedican was the mother of
eleven children, eight of whom are
still living, the surviving children be-
ing five sons, Michael, Thomas, John,
Daniel and Patrick; and three
daughters, Mrs. Patrick Nancy, Mrs.
John Hanlon and Mrs. F. R. Paine.
Through the ravages of age Mrs.
Hedican was bed ridden during the
last three years Of her life. She
was a patient sufferer, and with her
pious thoughts ever turned to hea-
ven, death came to her as to one
passing into pleasant dreams. Hav-
ing outlived the allotted span of life,
the bereaved ones may we'll find
much to console them in the beauty
and peacefulness of her departure.

N1'N1F~ kxao xa% TO SUPPLY
7urkestan Seed to Make up For
Short Domestic SuppIy-Unde-
sirable for Humid Sections.

During the fiscal years ending
June 80, 1913, 1914, and 1915, ap-
proximately six million, five million,
and seven million pounds, respective
ly, of alfalfa seed were imported,
while during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1916, less than three and
one-fourth million pounds we're i'm
ported.
For several years Russian Turke-
stan has been the only country hav-
ing large surplus of seed available
for international trade, but the sup
ply of seed from this source has
been practically shut off since the
beginning of the European war, un-
til the past winter, when shipments
were begun by the way Of the trans
Siberian railway, Vladiyostok, and
the Pacific ocean. Of the seed i'm
ported into the United States since
July l, 1915, more than half has been
from Russian Turkestan, and no
doubt more of this seed will be
brought in as transportation can be
arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
year, together with the decreased
imports, have resulted in a marked
increase in the price of seed over
that of year ago. The lack of al
falfa seed in this country this year
must be made up by importation,
and this will necessarily be Turke-
stan seed. It is known that Turke-
stan seed is not we'll adapted TO
general use in the United States and
that it is particularly undesirable
for use in the eastern humid Sec
