FARMERS ARE TOLD
OF U FARM SCHOOL
Agricultural School Faculty Give
Entertainments and Tell of
Station Work

Many Stevens county farmers have
been entertained at different rural
school houses during the past two
weeks in the campaign for new stu
dents that is being carried out by
Supt. Higbie assisted by delegations
from among the faculty and students.
A musical program is given at the
meetings in the school houses and
afterward Mr.. Higbie and different
members of the faculty discuss the
necessity for agricultural training for
the coming generation.
That the farm school delegations
are as good entertainers as they are
speakers is attestea by the fact that
the meetings are invariably we'll at
tended and always enthusiastically
received by the farmers.

FROM SUPT. E. C. HIGBIE.

Before the Christian era opened
there were manifestations here and
there of the Christ spirit, but not
until Jesus lived and made that spirit
concrete in human experience did lit
take permanent root and begin to
grow and compel people to acknow =
ledge it's value in society. The twen-
tieth century has many direct evid-
ences and results of the growth of
that spirit in the world. The life of
Christ may be taken as the point from
which two converging lines extend.
The twentieth century crosses those
lines at a time when much remains
for the spirit of Christ to accomplish
in it's mission in the world. Never
theless, when one considers the splen-
did charities, the marvellous results of
science, the growth of democracy, the
coming of the international impules,
and hundred other interesting
things, of these times, one can we'll
be optomistic of the final outcome.
When Christ was born, the world
was at peace, but it was the Roman
peace. 1t was a peace represented by
might, where the few imposed their
will upon the many. 1t was a peace
that could last only so long as strong
rulers were able to retain the mast
cry. The Roman peace was the only
kind then possible or then known.
War today is revealing the work of
twenty centuries of the Christ idea in
human society. Never before has the
world been so shocked and convinced
of the uselessness of war, even the
belligerent countries themselves are
looking for a peace not based upon
the fundamental right of all men to a
place in the sun. The Christ spirit is
not only in the hearts of
neutrals who are giving much to al
leviate pain and suffering, but in the
minds of the men in the trenches and
of the leaders of government who
direct the armies and policies of the
contending nations. Values are in the
furnace of severe testing, and there
is to be the realization of the funda-
mental principle of the brotherhood
of man. i

boys team, opened the basket ball
season on Friday night at Benson
with rather disastrous defeat. Their
defeat of 46 to 9 was due to the sup

team work of their opponents. The
initial defeat does not seem to have
dampened their ardor for the team has
been practicing harder than ever and
evidently doesn't intend to suffer an
other such drubbing.

to have revenge for the baket ball de-
feat by taking both debates.

SCHOOL WILL HAVE
new DINING HALL
University Budget Calls for
Much Needed New Building
at Farm School

In the report of the university
budget given in the Alumni Weekly
as recently made up by the university
regents is an item of $65, 900 for a
new dining hall at the Morris univers-
ity farm school. Also SIS, 900 for
cottage at Morris appropriated by
the legislature, 1915, to be reappro-
priated to apply on dining hall and
other improvements at Morris.
All other items for the Morris
school are listed under the various
special funds and are not noted separ-
ately.
The present wooden structure now
used for dining hall is not only in
adequate to the needs of the school
but also undesirable in many other
ways. A new dining hall will won
derfully increase the efficiency of the
school.
When the building is built it will
be placed on the easterly side of the
quadrangle, and will be SO constructed
that by later adding wings, it will be
the central unit of a much larger
structure.

Rev. Nobbs spent Sunday in Browns

the interests of the Hamline campaign
for $500, 100000. 1t has been a stren-
uous campaign for all interested in
it. Rev. Nobbs was selected as one
of the group chairmen and it has put
a measure of responsibility on him.

these last remaining days to bring
the thing thru, but the last word Rev.

Rev. Nobbs secured pledges in Morris

asked from this charge toward the

&C. PLANS SENDING
CLUB TO CARNIVAL
Opening Meeting Tonight to
Discuss Sending of Marching
Club to St. Paul

Morris will be represented by a
marching club in uniform in the big
parade of the St. Paul Out Door
Sports Carnival on January 81, if the
efforts of the Commercial Club are
successful. There will be an open
meeting in the Commercial Club rooms
tonight for everyone who is interested
in the sending of q delegation from
Morris to take part in the carnival,
the greatest annual gathering in the
northwest.
The plan of the Commercial Club
to take part in the carnival was stim-
llated by correspondence with H. B.
Wickham, manager of the 1917 car
nival and the speech made by C. I.
Marks of st. Paul, the official re-
preventative of the carnival associa-
tion before the Morris business men
Thursday night of last week. Mr..
Marks told of St. PauI's plans to
make the event "hotter one" and his
words kindled responding fire among
the Morris men. The Commercial
Club expects to send a delegation of
fifteen or twenty persons from Morris
in q uniform that will advertise the
city, and if possible to send a queen
of the club. After the meeting there
will be smoker, whist tournament,
pool and billiard games for the enter
tainment of the guests.
Mr.. Marks outlined the program of
events at the carnival and told how
the nearby towns of Breckenridge,
Moorhead, Benson, Sauk Centre and
other towns have organized marching
clubs to take part in the merrymaking
at st. Paul and to advertise their
city. The sending of marching
club MIR. Marks said need not entail
much expense in making of costumes.
A mackinaw with caps and leggings
alike and Morris pennant to sew on
the back of the coat is sufficient he
said. Mr.. Marks urged queen con-
test among the young women of Nor
ris and to have the queen lead the
club in the parade. Commercial Club
members are much in favor of this
and express themselves as willing to
furnish the suit and to pay the ex-
penses of the queen to the carnival.
The sending of marching club
from Morris wOrId he Of inastimohIo
Advertising value to this city. Many
people from here are planning to go
to the Twin Cities during Carnival
Week and the organization of local
marching club should not be difficult
matter to arrange. A good represent
alton at tonight's meeting would show
the interest that Morris citizens have
in advertising our city.

MORRIS PASTORS DEFINE, TRUE,
MEANING OF CHRISTMAS DAY

have retired God from his works, but
we rejoice in the belief that God put
a glorious crown on them all by send
ing His only begotten Son into the
world to reconcile us to Himself, and
that on Christmas Day He was born.
We seem, as eacL anniversary returns,
to catch still the echoes of that angelic
song, wich first announced these It'd
ings of great joy; and beyond the
power of words to express we are
made glad at the thought of the i'm
mense significance of the angelic mes
sage.
Down from His supreme glory,
down from His infinite majesty, the
Son of God came, to take upon Him
self the habit of man, to fight our
battles in the form of our weakness,
and, as spoils of His victorious war
fare, to bring back all men of good
will to his Kingdom on high. For,
as by the weakness of the
flesh man was conquered, as the
Z" "sWord was made flesh and dwelt
amongst US" to become our model,
as we'll as our Redeemer; to show
US how to conquer even in weakness,
as we'll as to provide US to show us
how to conquer even in weakness,
as we'll as provide US with the arms of
victory. 1t is the boundIess good
ness Of God as seen in this myst-
cry, that evokes our admiration
and gratitude. When, to satisfy
eternal justice disturbed by the sin
of the human race, there was but
one way, God chose that way de-
spite the infinite condescension it
involves.
This Faith rests not on learned
fables, nor the vagaries of self-ap-
pointed teachers, however much they
may manifest the striving of man
after God, but on the all satisfying
testimony of those, who witnessed our
Saviour's wonderful works, who saw
Him transfgured on the mount, who
heard from the clouds the voice pro-
claiming Him the Son of God, who
beheld Him risen from the dead,
and who, after working miracles in
His name, gave up their lives for the
truth Of the testimony, which they
gave Him to the world. Nor does
this Faith rest on a remote and hal
lowed past alone, but on the unvary-
ing belief of consecutive ages bound
together by one Spirit, during which
it's fruits have been proportionate to
the exalted nature of the belief it.
self, To crown all, it rests not
merely on what others have said and
done, but on what each generation
through the grace of God expert
ences. With argument and yet above
argument there is a Power that keeps
this Faith in the Christmas message
alive. The lapse of centuries, the
change of customs, the vicissitudes
