This decision was reached by the
school board at a meeting on Jan.

in order to permit the present su-

ton
The following letter written TO the
president Of the school board ex-
plains the situation:
South Bend. Ind. Jan. %, 1915.
Mr. A. L. Hubbard.

best interest Of the schools as a
whole 10 make a change in the Office
Of superintendent at the close OF Mr..
Montgomery's contract, we feel that
IL is definitely understood with the
members of the board that a change
is decided upon The vote being
held back from record to give Mr..
Montgomery an opportunity to select
another position If he desires to do
so. However. the fact was also men,
toned that il any confusion should
start we would call a special meeting
and make it a matter Of record at
once
Inasmuch as tie vacancy is de-
cided upon we feel that each mem
Der Of the board is at liberty to
solicit applicants for the position Of
superintendent and an effort made
to select the best man possible for
the position. We realize that this is
a very important matter and all APP
plicants should first be considered
in executive session OF the board
In one of your letters to your
friends you state that someone
wants Mr.. Montgomery's job" SO
far as we know there are no appli-
cants and we did not suppose there
would be until this action OF the
board is at least decided among our
selves 1t may then be necessary TO
make il a matter OF record before a
professional man would allow him
self 10 be an applicant. But if this
declaration can be sufficient we will
be able to give Mr.. Montgomery all
the time he wants without making a
public announcement which might
have some effect on the schools for
the last half of the year.
AS president of the board il will
be open to you 10 give this infor-
nation TO Mr.. Montgomery as you

Will Attend Moorherd S. S.

Among the teachers who have fin

and who will attend the Moorhead
summer school are the Misses Rose
and Bertha Hack, Laura Hanrahan
and Mae Buckley. The young ladies
left Morris Saturday night and will
spend six weeks at Moorhead.
Miss Rose Hack closed her school
in district 46, Everglade last Friday
at which time the pupils entertained
their parents and friends with an in
teresting literary program. The school
purchased a Victrola last winter for
which the pupils have paid through a
series of entertainments. When the
school closed more than the purchase
price had been paid but there is a
small balance on records. This in
debtedness the pupils hope to wipe out
with another entertainment when the
school opens next fall. Miss Hack
will teach two miles west of Chokio
next term.

MIKE MAHONEY IS
new CITY ice MAN
Popular Darnen Farmer Closes
Deal for Byrnes & Kessinger
Stock this week

Byrnes & Kessinger have retired
from the ice business in Morris after
little over two years partnership.
They served their customers for the
last time Tuesday and hereafter it
will be Mike Mahoney, we'll known
Darnen township farmer, who will
WELD the scale and the ice tongs.
Mr.. Mahoney took over the Byrnes

tion of the two ice companies in Nor
ris is being considered.
Messrs. Brynes and Kessinger have
also disposed of their bottling works
to Meyers brothers, of Mount Olive,
ILL.,, who will arrive here in few
days to begin operations. The con-
sideration involved in the sale of the
bottling works was about $4,000
cash. Mr.. Kessinger expects to re-
main with the new firm and will di-
vide his time between inside and
outside work. He has considerable
experience as a bother and is some
thing of an expert on carbonated
drinks. The new owners expect to put
considerable capital into the enter
prise and will make improvements
from the start.

KODAKS TO BRING
HABITS OF THRIFT
Morris Bank Announces Unique
Plan to Encourage Prepared
ness for Rainy Day

In order to encourage habits of
thrift and greater interest in saw
ings deposits, the Morris National
bank has adopted new plan which
already shows indications of becoming
vastly popular in Morris. Those who
will save their money will not only
have the pleasure of seeing their de-
posits grow but they will receive a
handsome Eastman kodak absolutely
free of charge. A picture of the
kodak may be seen in the Morris
National Bank advertisement on
another page of the Tribune today.
According to the plan adopted by
the bank officials each of the first one
hundred new savings customers who
opens a savings account with the bank
and deposits total of $25 or more
in three months from date of opening,
will receive a kodak free. Each old
customer increasing their savings &C.
counts $25 or more will likewise
receive kodak free. Those who do
not have $25 to begin the account
may deposit $1.OO or more at a
time, and just as soon as the account
reaches $25 or more the depositor
will receive the kodak. Interest,
compounded semi annually, will be
paid on the deposits.
When this plan was~announced last
week Cashier Putnam became much
sought Individual. Customers focked
to the bank to know more about the
kodak and the terms upon which it
was being given out. DR.. o. T.
Johnson was the first to secure a ko-
dak and than came a long string of
others. Photographer Voss, who has
examined the kodak and the pictures
| it produces, is astonished at the ex-
cellence of the kodaks and the clear
ness of the pictures. The kodak is
not "a mere toy. 1t is a well made
and substantial camera in every re.
spect. 1t loads In daylight, has
automatic shutter for time and snap
shot exposures, and is provided with
a meniscus lens 1t is made by the
Eastman company and is placed on
distribution with banks exclusively.

Son Near This City

Ensconsed on the cushions of his
powerful Buick six and wearing the
smile that any automobile racer in
the country might we'll ", Charles
Christensen, veteran Gilmore City
Ia, farmer, rode into Morris Monday
night. His speedometer showed 3O6
miles and he had covered the distance
from Gilmore to Morris in a few min
utes less than fifteen hours including
stops for refreshments and information
concerning the route. He arrived
here a few minutes before nine clock
and proceed Immediately to the home
of his son on the Jongeward farm.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Christensen
returned to Gilmore City.
Last spring Mr.. Christensen came
to Morris seeking land investment and
after viewing the Jongeward and
Casey farms decided to buy them
both. One of his sons arrived soon
thereafter to take possession of one
while the other was rented to another
party. After his visit here this
week Mr.. Christensen expressed him
self we'll satisfied with his purchase
and with the showing his son is max
ing as a Stevens county farmer. The
price paid for the land was the high
est on record up to that time but Mr..
Christensen feels he dind't exceed
its real value.
Starting for Morris at six o'clock
a. m. Monday morning in company
with a son, Mr.. Christensen passed
through twenty three towns and once
he squandered the best part of an hour
in getting his dinner. Part of the
road was rough and some parts were
wet, all of which cut down his speed.
There were no accidents, however.

PIONEER MERCHANT
ESTABLISHES PARK
Twelve Valuable Lots on West
Side, and Cash Donation, is
Gift from H. H. Wells

Residents of the west side in Nor
ris demonstrated their generous and
public spirited tendencies few days
ago when H. H. Wells, pioneer mer-
chant in this city, made proposition
to donate twelve valuable business
lots for park purposes. Mr.. Wells
has not only given the city the
twelve lots but he has supplement-
ed the donation with liberal cash
subscription, part of which will be
used to purchase adjoining property
and for beautifying the grounds.
The west side will now possess the
largest and finest park in the city,
work on which has already been
commenced.
The lots are located on north
Pacific avenue at 18th, Nevada anc
Park avenues, cat the peaks. y
The late DIR. Hulburd owned lots
opposite which have been acquired
by purchase and will be included
for park purposes.
When Mr.. Wells proposition was
laid before citizens of the west side il
was decided to raise money to pur.
chase the Hulburd lots and for beauti
flying purposes. A subscription was
started and in less than two days 5000
had been pledged. Those who sub.
scribed held meeting last week anc
it was decided to apoint a committee
to look after park matters. The choice
fell to F. H. Richardson, J. B. Or
mond and H. H. Wells.
1t has been suggested to this com.
mittee that inasmuch as the city is
improving Pacific avenue an automo-
bile driveway be provided around OF
through the park property. The plan
is being considered.
