RED CROSS SEALS
ON SALE TODAY
Morris Public Schools and Stores
to Assist in State Wide
Campaign

Today is Red Cross Christmas Seal
Day in Morris. You will met many
school children asking you to buy Red
Cross Seals, and there will be seals on
sale at every store in Morris. Each
seal costs penny, and although you
may not need many seals for decora-
tions for your Christmas mail, remem-
Der that the sale of each tiny seal il
the forging of another bullet for the
war against tuberculosis in the United
States. The children, too, are anxi-
GUS to win the prize that will 60 to
the grade making the largest sales.
The sale of Red Cross Seals will con-
tinue until Christmas.
The state campaign for the sale Of
these seals is directed by the Mime
sofa public health association, but the
expenditure of the receipts for anti
tuberculosis work is so arranged that
each community receives benefits in
accordance with the amount of their
sale. For every $50 worth of seals
sold, the association furnishes visit
ing nurse for one week without
charge. The work of the nurse
consists in an examination into the
general health of the school children,
a tuberculosis survey of the town, q
home survey, talks to the children
and to the grown-ups on health sub
jects for correction were conditions
warrant a change.
Supt. Simonds, who is in charge of
the local campaign says that Norris
must buy 10000 seals. This will
mean selling of five seals per capita
and revenue of $1OO. "Other cities
bought as many as 26 seals per cap
ita, last year" said Mr.. Simonds.
Following the successful compett-
tion conducted in the Christmas Seal
Campaign in previous years, the Min
nesota Public Health. Association will
also this year award a pennant for the
largest sale of seals per capita OF, pop,
ulation. Red Cross Seals are sold
annually during the holidays for the
benefits of the tubercuIous.

MISSION RENEWAL
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Conducted by Fathers Divine
and Noises; Was Concluded
4 Sunday Night

The renewal of the Mission held in
the Assumption church last week was
very successful. The attendance at
all the exercises was large and the
last day overtaxed the capacity of
the church. The Mission was con-
Quoted by Rev. Fathers Divine and
Noises, members of the Order of the
Most Holy Redeemer. whose primary
object is to give missions. A mis-
sion is course of sermons and in
structions on the eternal truths and
the principal Christian duties preached
by priests specially destined and
trained for this purpose. Its object
is to reclaim those who have strayed
from the faith or its practice; to en-
able all in the state of sin to make
their peace with God by a good and
sincere confession; to rouse the care
less and Indifferent to a life of fer
vor, and to enable the good to be-
come more fervent and to persevere.
The last three days of the mission
was devoted to the Forty Hours
Alteration. This devotion is designed
to kindle in the faithful great love
and reverence for the most Blessed
Sacrament, as well as to make re-
paration to Our Divine Saviour in
the Sacrament of His love, for SO
much coldness, indifference and such
great outrages committed against
Him bv SO many ungrateful beings.
The 40 hours alterations date back to
the ages of faitn. The mystic number
forty was fixed upon to count the
hours, number so conspicuous in
the Sacred Scriptures; and as it was
to be a silent alteration what more
natural than it should be had in honor
of the forty hours during which the
Sacred Body Of Our Lord remained
in the sepulchre In the silent EN-.
brace of death. ....s>... --t~ ... g..
the lnissioa and Forty Hours was
fittingiy closed Sunday evening with
solemn procession and benediction OF
the Blessed Sacrament held by Rev.
Edward Jones, Pastor, assisted by
Father Wessling and Father Fearon.
The missionary Fathers visited the
sick Monday morning and left fol
their home Monday noon.
The mission and Forty Hours just
closed are regarded by the pastor and
people as the most successful and sat.
isfactory religious functions and ser.
vices that were ever held in the par.
ish. The sermons and lectures anG
instructions were direct, plain anC
practical and enlivened by the inim.
liable Irish wit of Father Divine anC
will long be remembered by the gooG
people of the Assumption parish.

TESTS SHOW GREAT
PROFITS IN CORN
Experiment at Farm School also
Disproves Use of CONNER
cial Fertilizers

The great amount of agitation
for the use of commercial fertilizer in
Stevens county and vicinity caused the
University farm school three years
ago to undertake scientific experiments
to ascertain the true value of
fertilizers and their relation to the
different grain and hay crops. The
results are conclusive that the COM
merciaI fertilizers, that when shipped
here by the carload, at cost vary
ing from $13 to SIT per ton are an
expensive luxury and give practically
no better result than barn yard man.
rue, according to P. E. Miller, in
structor in agronomy, who is in charge
of the experiments. The experiments
further show the superior possibili-
ties of growing corn, clover and hay
and the benefits obtained by system
OF crop rotation.
A tract of land on the University
farm school was divided into la plots
of one tenth of an acre each. The
cultivation and care accorded to these
plots was the same as the ordinary
farmer gives to his large fields. The
land was plowed, double-disced,
dragged and seeded under ordinary
field conditions. The great number
of plots permitted an exact checking
system.
,, The 144 plots were divided into 18
divisions. The 18 divisions were
subdivided into three sets of plots of
six one tenth acre plots each. The
three latter subdivisions were for a
duplicate and triplicate checking sys-
TEN. In each of these sets of plots
six experiments of fertilizer and crop
rotation were worked out.
Part of the plots were given no
treatment and the other treatments
were as follows; rock phosphate, rock
phosphate and barn yard manure,
acid phosphate. aE.d &e;3 Ft1spGate
and manure. The fertilizers used
are those most generally used in this
part of the state. The value of fert-
ilizers are shown in the tabulated re-
suits from this years experiments

CHERRY TO PROBE
LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
Question of Shipment to Minors
Is before Supreme Court
Decision Pending

Because of numerous shipments of
liquor to minors of Morris and other
towns in the county since Stevens
county has been listed in the dry col
urnn, County Attorney w. H. Cherry
is making the first attempt made in
Minnesota to punish the shippers by
the recent County Option law.
So far liquor houses in the Twin
Cities and other points have fore
stalled any prosection within the coun-
ty by compelling the minors to send
their money IN advance and the goods
are then delivered to the transporta-
ton companies for delivery to the
minor. In this way the liquor houses
have evaded prosecution within the
county and other dry counties. The
Interpretation of the law by the Su-
preme court may make the agents of
the transportation companies liable to
prosecution for the delivery of liquor
to minors, Mr.. Cherry believes. To
warn the agents of such an event, Mr..
Cherrv is sending letters to all express
agents and transportation agents in
Stevens county asking them to refuse
delivery of liquor consignments to
minors, notify the consignors that the
packages cannot be delivered and hold
ing the packages, subject to the order
of the consignor. - .
Following is copy of the letter
sent out to the different express
agents of Stevens county: =.
"It has been brought to my atten-
tion that at times in the past miners
have been able to purchase liquor in
st. Paul and Minneapolis and other
places abroad, and have the same
shipped to them at different points in
this county. The liquor houses. from
whom they purchase these goods, COM
pei these minors to send their money
in advance and their liquors are de-
IiVered to the transportation com
panies, and the sale consumated out
side of Stevens county. This appar-
emily forestalls and prosecution with
in this county.
However, our Supreme court has
before it for construction the recent
County option law, and until the
decision of that tribunal is handed
down, there is question of whether
or not the agents of the transportation
company, who delivers the liquor to
such minor, is not guilty in so de.
livering the same..
81 do not believe that any one of
you have any intention or desire to
evade the law, and hence am asking
for your cooperation in it's enforce
ment.
whenever consignment of liquor,
and all such packages are marked,
comes to your depot for delivery to a
person that you know to be a minor,
or when person under age presents
himself either as the consignee of
such liquor or as the agent of the con.
signee thereof, the only safe course
for you to pursue is to refuse the de-
livery of it tc such person. In all
such cases notify the consignor that
such package cannot be delivered and
is held subject to it's order, and
notify me also and will see that you
are protected. If you will do this
the general public and myself will be
under obligations to you.''
Very truly yours,
W. H. Cherry, County attorney.

applied. The use of the phosphates
nearly always made larger crops than
manure alone but the increase Mr..
Miller declares is not enough to war
rant their application. 1t is much
better to use barn yard manure and
spend the difference in cost in tile or
more permanent farm improvements.
The experiment is being carried
out on the rotation crop basis. Corn
is first planted, the following year
wheat is sown, the next year oats and
the fourth year clover. The fertiliz-
ers ara used only in the first year
when corn is planted. This is because
corn needs the most fertilization, wheat
next, oats next and clover the least.
The fertilizer is exhausted during the
fourth year by the clover and the plot
is then ready to be planted again in
corn.
Mr.. Miller says that the expert
ments show further the advantages to
be derived by rotation of crops be-
cause of the increased fertility of
the soil as compared with the de-
crease of soil fertility in the growing
of the same crop, as wheat, year af-
ter year. Furthermore the yields from
corn, oats and clover have been much
greater than wheat. Corn, the results
show, returns the largest profits. The
final argument for crop rotation and
the use of barn-Vard manure instead
of phosphate fertilizers, Mr.. Miller
says, is that the growing of corn, oats,
clover and wheat on a rotation basis.
provides for the raising of stock, and
makes it unnecessary for the purchase
of commercial fertilizers.
On the basis of these experiments
and estimating the cost of raising an
acre of each of the four grains, Mr..
Miller shows that the corn yield for
this year is almost as valuable as
the other three combined. The cost
per acre, includes cultivation harvest
; ing, labor and 5 per cent interest
on the value of the land.
