Met Defeat at Graceville

J. H. Boyd's rabbit foot failed to
work at Graceville Monday evening
when he brought his bunch of fast
bowling alley performers to town for
a return game. Graceville made it
three straight and robbed the Boyd
talismen of its power to charm.
The first game went to Graceville
with a majority of 1874 pins. The
second spasm resulted in majority of
SO and the third was cut down to 81.
Spooner and McConville bowled in
fine form for the locals although the
smoothness and speed of the home al
legs were missing. Markle, Nelson,
Alcott and Henle were the other four
men on the Morris team. The games
were witnessed by large crowd of
fans.

Morse Legends Discussed

The regular meeting of the Stud
ents' Club was held at the home of
Mrs. G. L. Voss Monday afternoon
when Morse mythology and the early
Morse legends dealing with creation
were studied. The rooms were lovely
in tulip and carnation decorations.
Mrs. S. Stewart was the leader in
the program. Mrs. E. T. Fitzgerald
had for subject 'The Morse Idea of
the World and it's Creation" and
Mrs. Stewart had an interesting paper
on "Odin and Frigga." "Tyre, "
"Brage" and "Thor" was the sub
ject assigned to Mrs. Davies, and
Mrs. Geenty gave a reading on
"Thor's Fishing" The program
proved unusually interesting.
Following the program the hostess
served dainty refreshments.

Fire Losses in Stevens Co.

The need of more general adop-
ton of fire prevention methods in
Stevens county is shown by the an
nual report issued by Robert W.
Hargadine, State Fire Marshal, of
fires in this county during the year
ended December 81, 1915.
There were 16 fires dnring the year
and the loss was$13, 725. This is great
er, both in the number of fires and in
the aggregate losses as compared
with 1914. In that year the losses in
Stevens county was So, 40, and the
number of fires reported IL.
However, the number of fires and
the aggregate loss for the past year
shows that just little more care in
the elimination of fire hazards and
little more general appreciation of
the need of fire prevention will place
Stevens county in the ranks of those
whose losses were reduced during the
past year.

JACOBSONS GIVEN
FAREWELL PARTY
Friends in Scandal Remember
Former Morris Business Man
Who is Visiting Here =

Otto Jacobson and family of Leth-
bridge, Alberta, who have been visit
ing relatives and friends here and at
Cyrus since before Christmas, were
rendered a pleasant farewell party at
the home of Mr.. Jacobson's brother in
Scandal last Thursday when Mr.. ia
cobson was presented with a very
substantial token of the esteem and
appreciation in which he is held by
his former friends and neigbhors.
Mr.. jacobson is former resident of
Morris anud will be remembered by
many of the farmers and others to
whom he sold harnesses ten years ago.
Mr.. Jacobson spent several days in
Morris last week and had some inter-
esting things to relate about the war
and the effects already apparent in
Alberta where folks fear a draft into
the British army. He operates a farm
near Lethbridge and is prospecting.
Concerning the party given him and
his family last week the Cyrus Citizen
says:
"About fifty of Mr.. Jacobson S
relatives and friends had gathered
there for the occasion. He had not the
slightest inkling of the affair and when
his brother drove him out there he
thot it was to be only an ordinary
visit. His surprise was therefore all
the more complete when he was
greeted by so many of his childhood
associates and friends. The after
noon was pleasantly spent in social in
tercourse, and jolly, good time was
enjoyed by everyone present. Otto
Olson, in behalf of the guests, ex-
pressed the high regard and esteem
in which Mr.. Jacobson is held, and
presented him with a remembrance of
the happy event. Mr.. Jacobson and
family have visited in Cyrus and vi
cinity since Dec. %. They have not
been here since they left Morris ten
years ago for Canada, where Mr.. ia
cobson owns farm, and have natural
ly made their stay as long as possible.
They expect to leave the first Of next
week to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada,
but will stop off on the way at Bur-
lington, N. D., to visit with two of
Mr.. Jacobson's brothers, who are in
the meat business there.''

about eight o'clock and from that

line of "eats,'' and to say that all

provided for is sufficient. From all

Binding Twine Prices Soar

Prices of binding Irvine sold from
the Minnesota prison to farmers this
year will be about fifty per cent
higher this year than last, according
to Ralph Wheelock of the state board
of control. The reason is said to be
the advance in the price of sisal by
the sisal trust. Last year the state
sold Irvine at seven cents a pound.
The outlook this year is 10 and IL.
The prices will be announced March

Nervousness in Check Writing
Betrays Angelo Gimes to
Stern Arm of the Law

Sheriff Frank Zahl has as his guest
this week Monsieur Angelo Gimes,
sartorial artist, merchant, fancy pen.
man and bum check writer who halls
from "Sunny It,, but more recent
ly from Chokio. Monsieur Gimes
arrived at Landlord Zahl's beautiful
Hotel Detention last week and after
looking him over Mr.. Zahl assigned
him to one of the guest chambers I'M
derneath the shadows of the water
tank overlooking the city from court
house hill. He is here for an indefinite
stay and was much surprised when
he was searched before gaining ad-
mittance. He had never before been
searched by any landlord or other per-
son but he submitted without any SER
ious protest. His clothing yielded
six butcher knives and a meat saw
with six new blades. Guests at Hotel
Detention are not permitted pos
session of anything more material
than tobacco and fond recollections or
regrets.
Monsieur Gimes is under arrest.
He is charged with having circulated
bogus checks at Chokio. Chokio has
deep grudge against artists of this
kind and Gimes as the second person
from that peaceful and law abiding
burg who has encountered shipwreck
on a sea of financial promise. Gimes
began business at Chokio last fall and
his operations squared with the re-
quirements. Business was bad and
two weeks ago he took up frenzied
finance as a side line. He went into
the Nelson store and purchased some
socks rendering a check in payment.
Nelson halls from Willmar, a place
worse than Missouri when it comes
to the "show me" stuff. Nelson
noticed peculiar nervousness on the
part of his customer and got a speedy
bunch all was not right. He got the
wire to the bank and the intelligence
came back, emo funds" Gimes was
hunted up and the goods were returned.
At the Mowery restaurant Gimes
cashed a bogus check for $40. E. ].
Amberg kindly Accommodated him on
one for So. McNalIy's honored one
for Sc, and it is believed others were
stung for similar amounts. Ed.
Scheiwe advanced $40 on a suit of
clothes, according to the Chokio Re-
view, and that's almost as bad as
sending the money to a catalogue
house. After these transactions Gimes
hired Jay Noll to take him to Morris.
He timed his arrival here for Tues
day evening not knowing that was
Stanley Ryan's busy day, or that
Ryan is a special business getter for
Hotel Detention although he runs a
rooming house of his own back of the
city fire hall.
When brought before City Magis-
trate Beise Gimes expressed a sudden
fondness for that dear Chokio and
wanted to 60 back to square accounts.
The seriousness of the charges were
such that he could not be accommodate
ed so he will linger with Sheriff Zahl
till the grand jury meets and makes
further recommendations

BALLOT MAY HELP
CUPID IN CANADA
Only Married Men Have Liquor
in their Home is Newest Law
in Manitoba

The ballot may help Cupid IN Mani
toba and the figure 13 may cut some
ice in the arrangements. The province
of Manitoba is to have it's county OPP
ton election on March 13 and if the
drys win only married men will be al
lowed to have liquor in their homes.
The Manitoba legislature, in dag
nosis of the temperance act, last Fri
day ruled that married men only will
be allowed to keep liquor in their
homes if the province goes dry in the
March election. Bachelors will not
be permitted to have liquor in their
possession at any time. The ruling
is received with delight by the spin
sters in Manitoba who view it as a
strong aid to Cupid.
Ortonville has an enterprising past
or with new scheme for bringing
people to church. Four years ago a
harness shop at Ortonville was robbed
and all efforts to find the guilty par
ties failed till Rev. Geer turned detec-
tive. Last week he made his '"capt-
ure"an recovered the money. He ad-
vertised the fact and announced that
he would tell the story from the pulpit
next Sunday night at which time the
loot would be returned to the owners.
His church is large and roomy one
but it was not large enough to accom-
modate those who came out.
L. M. Larson, the Alberta mer-
chant, was a Morris caller Friday and
brought several dozen fresh eggs for
his mother. Eggs have been scarce
article in this city for the past three
weeks, and not many have showed up
at Alberta. Enough have come, how
ever, to supply several Morris mer-
chants who found it necessary to have
them sent from Alberta by express.
"'The little old hen at Alberta is be-
ginning to do business again." said
Mr.. Larson, and he anticipates the
egg prices will drop steadily from now
on.
W. O. P. Hilsdale, pioneer mer-
chant at Sank Centre and we'll known

door partially covered with snow. In

BUSINESS RULES FOR 1916.

It's a belief of The Progressive
Farmers that the farmer ought
to be just as truly "business
man" as a manufacturer or mer-
chant-nOt so big business
man" in most eases. but just as
genuinely business in all his
methods. So important is this in
our opinion that we re going to
repeat a few ideas we have been
suggesting over and over again :
l. Take an inventory the first
of the year.
?. Put your rental contracts i,
writing.
3. See that all deeds and other
papers are in proper shape; and
put your will in written form.
4. Get all your 1918 debts
paid. and if there are any YOU
can t pay now. get a memorandum
as to the exact amounts of all and
arrange to extingu!sh them as fast
as possible.
