The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1916-02-09

A party Of Americans, who came by
train from the city of Mexico to Vera
Cruz, through the heart of Old Next
co, report that they travelled in an
arrnored train that was several times
fired upon. They state that the coun.
try is infested by bandits, that labor
and industry are at u standstill, that
life and property are not safe and that
typhns, smallpox and other diseases
are raging. 1t is not right to jump to
the conclusion from this that the Car
rama government is a failure but it is
added evidence that conditions in
Mexico are most deplorable. The re-
ports which come to the American
newspapers from Carranza sources
telling of outrages by Villa followers,
came from Yillista sources except that
they would declare that the outrages
were committed by Carranza par
tisans. There is no essential differ
ence between the Carranza bandits
and the Villa bandits. The two lead
ers were long time partners and their
virtues probably come up to about the
same level 1t is the duty of the
United States to step in and estab-
fish a staple government for Mexico.
If the United States doesn't do It
some European country will after the
European var is over. For two years
now the United States has shirked its
duty in Mexico. If thiSduty had been
done at the beginning 1t would prob
bly, have cost fewer American lives
han have been frittered away In the
iong drawn out revolutions.

This Lusitania controversy appears
to have come out like country prize
fight. Both claim a notable victory,
The United States wins because Ger
many accepts responsibility and
promises not to do it again. Germany
wins because she didn't disavow in

Builds Fifteenth House

That the city of Morris is growing
at a tremendous pace is evidenced in
many ways but is most strikingly
proven by John Grove who started
bis fifteenth residence last week and
which he expects to finish late next
month. Mr.. Grove has built these
fifteen houses within the past eigh-
teen months and every one of them
as fast as they we're completed with
a steady demand for more. Some of
the houses were occupied before they
were finished. 1t is estimated that
more than sixty residences have been
built in Morris in the past two years.
There is only one vacant house in the
city at the present time and that will
be taken late this month. Of the
fifteen houses Mr.. Grove has erected
two were sold outright while buying
contracts were given on several 9TH

TIDINCS OF JOY TO
REACH BIRDS SOON
Court House Sneezer in Sad Pre-
dicament with an Automatic
Nasal Duck Alarm

Emil Gilbert, the obliging deputy
clerk Of court, is a hunter "from
way back" but will not be in the
field after birds this week, and he
quotes a very good but amusing rea-
son therefore. Mr.. Gilbert has sutf
cred with hay fever the past week
and has looked upon a beautiful
world through sad eyes. 81 like to
hunt said Mr.. Gilbert, "but this
year l shall be obliged to leave the
sport to the other fellows. If l
went out now l would probably have
to sneeze just about the instant
should shoot, and wouldn't get any
ducks So Mr.. Gilbert will save
his dollar and rely upon his friends
if there are to be any duck feeds in
the Gilbert home. The Tribune thinks
Mr.. Gilbert is deserving of remem'
brance on the part of his friends.

STATE SAFEGUARDS
HEALTH OF PUBLIC
Health Board Recommends
Medical Examination of Chill
dren Who Enter Schools

A resolution requiring the medical
examination before admission to
school cf all school children in dis
tricts where three has been infantlie
paralysis was passed at special meet
ing of the State Board of Health held
August oath.
These examinations will be made
under the direct supervision of the
health officer to assist the various
communities in this work, the Mime
sofa Public Health Association will
maintain a staff of experienced visit
ing nurses to be sent anywhere on
request.
"School children, not only where
there is infantile paralysis, but, in
all districts should be more adequately
safe guarded from infantile paralysis
and all infectious diseases than now
obtains is the warning issued by DR..
l. J. Murphy of the Minnesota Health
Association.
"School children in every commun-
ity of the state can secure health sup
ervistion without very great ex-
pense. All localities need not have the
services of physician, but all should
have at least the services of a school
nurse.
Communities that are unable to
employ permanent nurse should at
least have one temporarily for annual
or semiannual inspection and exam
ination. Accordingly the Health AS
socation will maintain a staff of ex-
perienced nurses and will send nurse
to any community whether there have
been cases Of infantile paralysis there
or not. They will be sent on request
of a school board or Of private
committee for as long or short a time
as is desired. Many committees of
the state are going to sell Red Christ
mas seals to enable them to demon
strate to officials the need and value Of
nurse"
The nurses that the Health Associa-
tion have been sending out have been
able to care for from one to two hun
dred pupils per week. This, of course,
depends upon the number of parents
that have to be interviewed and upon
the number Of other things the
nurse is called upon to do.
Besides the handling of children
and securing treatment for defective
troubles. the nurses make a general
survey and lecture at community
meetings. Communities of three or
four hundred usually keep visiting
nurse for one week. Communities of
one thousand for two weeks, and
larger communities for a month or
longer.

GLORY Be! LIGHT
RATE TO BELOWER
Radical Reductions Announced
by Power Company Bring
Joy to "Juice" Consumers

Users OF electricity in Morris who
are patrons of the Otter Tail Power
Company will be agreeably surprised
to learn of the company's intentions
to reduce the light rates in this city
after October l. Those who pay
their light bills on November l will
have the pleasant sensation of finding
the charges reduced while everything
else they have to buy is steadily soar
ing to new and almost prohibitive al
titudes. Manager Baker and Secre-
tary Burpee at the local office say
there have been no demands for low
er rate in Morris but they do not
anticipate any protests when the new
rates go into effect.
According to the new rate card for
lighting the fixed charge of fifty cents
will be eliminated and the primary
charge of twelve cents per kilowatt
hour will be reduced to ten cents.
Under these provisions every user of
the company's service in the city will
save from fifty cents to several dol
lars per month.
This radical reduction of rates will
be effective at all points where the
Otter Tail Power company operate
lighting and power systems. Man
ager Kidder estimates the reduction
will be equivalent to a twenty five
per cent reduction in total receipts.
The motive for the reduction is to en-
courage a more general use of electri-
city for lighting, heating and power
purposes, and to give the small con-
sumer a chance to learn what a con-
venience electricity in the home really
IS. The company is equipped to
handle a larger volume of business.
They have the power and they wish
people in general to use it.
Since the company began business
in Morris the improvement in service
has been gradual until the present
time when the service has been ad-
mittedly first-class. Considerable
money has been spent here by the
company and in view of the service
a reduction of rates comes as a pleas
ing surprise.

FARM HOUSE BURNS
AS CROWDS WATCH
Lack of Water Responsible for
Loss of Gould Residence Ad-
joining City Limits

Fire was discovered at the Gould
residence one mile west of Morris
Tuesday morning and the house was
reduced to ashes while the Morris fire
department and large number of
spectators stood by powerless to pre-
vent. All the contents of the ground
floor rooms were removed but much
clothing, furniture. provisions, etc.,
kept upstairs and in the cellar were
destroyed. Some valuable papers
kept IN a bureau drawer in one of the
upstairs bedrooms perished in the
flames. The loss caused by the fire
is estimated at about So, 500 with an
insurance of So, 800 on the house and
contents. The destruction of the farm
home removes one of the land marks
in this section of Stevens county. The
origin of the fire is shrouded in mys-
terry.
Mrs. Gould was at work in the kit
chen before eleven o'clock when she
had occasion to go upstairs. Reaching
the door of the bedroom she was
forced to retreat by column OF dense
smoke which issued from the room.
Immediately the fire alarm was
turned in and the department respond
ed with record speed. Hose connec-
tions with the nearest hydrant about a
mile away could not be made and a
bucket brigade was hastily formed but
the flames had gained such headway
the fire could not be controlled. At
tentior was directed to removing the
household goods to place Of safety.
Messrs. Gould were both in town
when the fire started and did not
reach home till the fire had eaten
it's way through the roof. Rendered
homeless by the fire the Goulds are
temporarily making their homes with
neighbors.
Mr.. Gould has decided to rebuild
on the old site and will commence
work as soon as the insurance losses
are adjusted. His old house was
built over thirty years ago but many
improvements, including an addition,
were made in later wears.

views are shared by Morris automo-
bile owners generally.
In company with Mrs. Walz and
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Walz Mr.. Walz
was returning from trip to Melrose
where they had spent the day with
friends. Approaching the village of
Westport the party found the road
and bridge leading across a small
stream inundated, with no means of
getting around. Mr.. Walz decided
to drive the car through the water and
was making fine progress when the
car suddenly dropped into hole two
feet deep as it left the bridge. The
water killed the engine and all further
progress was blocked. Sam kindly
offered his services claiming to be the
only swimmer in the bunch-he would
go for help. Rather than permit him
to navigate an unknown sea the party
decided to wait. Something like rwen-
ty minutes were spent listening to the
waves breaking against the automo-
bile sides and viewing the watery ex-
panse and scenery beyond. Then a
man with horse and buggy appeared
with aid for the mariners. Sam
clambered into the buggy and rode
away to the nearest farm house where
he secured pair of rubber boots, a
man and one moose of a horse. The
man rode the horse and Sam came on
abreast hip deep in the wet. He at
tached chains to the car and soon the
iron ark was on terra firma.
"How much do l owe you for your
trouble?" asked Mr.. Walz, prepared
for an assessment of from five to ten
dollars. "Oh, that's alright, you
have my sympathy and l don't want
anything" came the surprising re-
ply. After protesting vigorously the
man finally fixed the charge at fifty
cents but Mr.. Walz insisted on bet
ter price for the services.
After the car was taken from the
water no difficulty was experienced in
starting which was also surprise to
Mr.. Walz. Before tackling any more
submerged highways the Morris hard
ware man will engage the services of
Capt. Koenig who has the real SUBJ
marine skill and experience.

done. By law the appointment of

sulting the local party members. For
that reason this meeting was called to
select chairman.

HIGH SCHOOL
IS CON NTINUED
On Accredited List of
University.
Inspection Made in October.
Few Recommendations
are Made.

Thomas Lloyd Jones, Univer-
sity Inspector Of High Schools
of the State, visited our schools
the latter part Of October. He
expressed himself as being we'll
pleased with conditions as he
found them, making only a few
suggestions as to changes de-
sired. Following is a portion of
his letter to the Supt. "Our
committee will continue your
school upon the accredited list.
l found the spirit of the pupils
good and the attitude of the
teachers all that one had a right
to expect. Children are always
entitled to the very best con-
ditions obtainable, and not only
will their lives be made brighter
and better, but the welfare of
the state will be made more
secure.
He recommended the INSTALL
alton of new electric lights in
some of the rooms that were ex-
ceptionally dark. This work
has recently been done. The
new lights make the room much
more comfortable and CHEEKY.
Graduates from the high
school may enter the Univer-
sites of the Northwest without
examination as result Of this
inspection report. Many cf the
graduates of the past have taken
advantage of University train
ing and in all cases the persons
going from our school have made
creditable showings. In fact
the work done by our school
compares favorably with the
work done by any high school in
the state.
