other members of the Georgia dele
CATION, who have called upon the post
office department in Washington in
the interest of the matter.
The postoffice was discontinued, it
was announced, because the receipts
were so small and it cost so much to
transport the mails between the city
and the island, However, as Cumber-
land is summer resort, many peo-
pie visiting the island during the sum-
mer months, it is believed that the of
flee will be re-established.

Sad News for Stollingwa

Three letters written in Germany
last June and addressed to Frank Stol-
lingwa, a young man employed at the
Great Northern depot in this city,
was received by Mr.. Stollingwa Tues
day morning and brought sad tidings.
The lettres were written by Mr.. Stol-
lingwa's sister and told of conditions
in the Fatherland.
The first distressing news was the
fact that one of the Stollingwa boys
who was serving with the Kaiser 8
army in Servia had received bullet
wound in the temple and was in a
military hospital. According to the
news he may lose the sight of one eye.
Once before he had been wounded in
the right hip but had recovered. The
other Stollingwa boys are in France
and according to the last news from
them early in May they were we'll
and happy.
The letters deny the charges that
a food shortage prevails in Germany
Potatoes and poultry We're cultivated
everywhere, and in June the grain
crops looked promising. Late reports
indicate bumper crop. Cotton was
plentiful and was being sent on from
Turkey IN large quantities. The let
ters had been delayed in England
where the censor looked them over.

MORRIS MAN MADE
EXCELLENT SCORES
Wencel Bartos Makes a Perfect
Score in Railway Mail Clerk
Examination at St. Paul

At the bienniel postal clerk exam
nations held at St. Paul last week,
Wencel Bartos, of this city, achieved
distinction inasmuch as he made the
high score and received papers that
are envied among the rest of the rail-
way postal clerks in his district.
The examinations were for the state
of North Dakota and Mr.. Bartos re-
ceived a credit of one hundred points
on the states railway connections. On
distribution of mails he received a
mark of 9.89, and on postal regula-
tions he received the excellent credit
of 92.43. None of the clerks exam
ined received a perfect score and Mr..
Bartos was one of the few who stood
perfect in any one branch of the SER
vice.
Contrary to the popular belief that
railway postal clerks have very little
or nothing to do, the clerks have hard
ly moment of spare time on any OF
their runs. 1t is they who assort the
mail for the various towns and ar.
range the packages for the postmaster
All the letters must be delivered face
upward in the package, and every
unintelligible address must be read a
a glance. Once year the clerks ar'
called upon to count and weigh the
parcels they handle and this is tasl
none of them are particularly font
of. Then again, they must remain
on their feet all day for weeks at ;
time despite the rough railroad bed O.
the swaying of the mail car.

HUSBAND PINCHED;
BRIDE DIDN'T CARE
Lively Litchfield Huckleberry,
Former Resident Here, Gets
Cell Honeymoon

Asbury Quigley, brother of
Harry Quigley of this city and a
former resident of Morris who is now
living at Litchfeld, fell into the
hands of villianous friends when he
stepped off the train regaled in his
wedding garments, was later arrested,
hand cUffed and thrown into a cell
in the Litchfeld dungeon a few
nights ago. Appeals to his wife and
father proved vain. They set their
faces, like adament, against the per-
picked bridegroom and he was per-
mitted to languish in the city lookup
for one hour after which he promised
to become good citizen. Under the
caption "He Got His" the Litchfeld
Ledger described the matter as follows
which will hasten congratulations
from his Morris friends:
"Mr. and Mrs. Asbury Quigley ar
rived in this city last Friday night
after their bridal tour. Asbury has
been lively huckleberry for years
past in helping his friends keep in
mind just when they were married,
and those friends were right on the
job to get even when his turn came.
The ball started Friday evening right
after his arrival, with a charivari,
and on Saturday evening bunch of
his villianous companions headed by
policeman Brown went over to the
feed barn, arrested and put hand-cuffs
on him, and then took him to the city
lookup and put him in a cell. One
of them then phoned his wife where
he had landed and asked her to come
and bail him out. She replied that il
he had got himself in jail he woulC
have to get himself out. They ther
asked Dad Quigley to do something
for him but the old gent said he
was getting just what he deserved
Alter keeping him in for an hour Of
two aha be promising to be a gooc
citizen atGer this they let him out.

titled to.

door sports in Morris and surrounding
towns. He was successful in secur-
ing a feature film now being made

CONQUERED HEROES
COMMEND VICTORS
Beef Vanquishes Brain in Lusty
Football Game at Benson
Score was So too

Benson defeated the Morris high
school football team in a decisive
manner at Benson last Saturday af-
ternoon. Six or seven automobile
loads of young people from Morris
witnessed the game which is described
as a contest between brain and Drawn
and Drawn won. The Morris ag
gregation was out-weighed and out
played at every point, due to the fact
that Benson has two teams in the
field and they get out to practice every
night. Here it has been difficult to
get one team. While the 63 to o
score would indicate a one-sided game
such was not the ~ case according to
the spectators. Morris put up good
article of sport and with a little
practice will present formidable ar
ray against the next comers. Ben
son treated the visitors royalty and
their sportsmanlike spirit is to be
commended say the members of the
Morris squad.
The classes of the high school will
observe tomorrow as tag day. The
proceeds are to be used in furnishing
the gymnasium with equipment. The
rivalry between the classes to sell
tags is most keen and they expect tc
let no possible tag buyer escape. The
class selling the greatest amount will
be allowed to have it's pennant hung
in the assembly room for one week
Everybody in school is waiting fol
the first literary program and debate
which will be held in the high schoo
auditorium Friday evening, Oct. 20
The question of debate is: "Resolved
That immigration into the Unitet
States be further restricted by a lit
erary test" The affirmative will b,
upheld by the seniors represented b.

AID. in PAPER HAS
WONDERFUL RESULT
Chokio Man Who Uses Tribune
Obliged to Refuse Profitable
Customers-Stock Goes

Because E. S. Davidson potato
raiser at Chokio, tried little advert g
ising experiment in the Morris Tri-
bune he did $3.50 worth of business
Immediately after the ad appeared and
his stock was exhausted. Mr.. David
son finished digging his potatoes last
week. He found 300 bushels on two
acres, and they were fine and dandy
specimens. He had more potatoes
than he could use and decided to sell
them, but he didn't know to whom.
Like the progressive and wise busi-
ness man that he is he inserted an ad-
vertisement in The Tribune and wait
ed results. He knew The Tribune is
the paper that is eagerly rend by all
members of the family in Stevens
county but he had no idea of it's value
as an advertising mesium. Early
Saturday morning he began to find
out.

81. 20, and l believe could have sold
500 more if 1 had only had them.
They sold like hot cakes," writes Mr..
Davidson to The Tribune. Others
used the telephone and according to
Mr.. Davidson the tinkling of the
phone bell has been constant but, Of
course, he cannot now supply a tele-
phone customer.
"My potatoes yielded we'll this

CHILD INJURED BY
TEDDY BEAR DOLL
Protruding Wires Pierce Eye of
Seyen-months-old Child in
John Porten Family

Wires protruding from the body of
a small teddy bear doll thrown in play
by children in the John Porten family
in this city early last Sunday morning
came near destroying the eye of the
Porten baby. A hook on the end of
the wire fastened in the baby's eye
and for about an hour the little one
lay bleeding while older folks sought
in vain to extricate the hook. A
doctor Fastening to the aid of the
little one relieved it from misery and
it is believed the child will recover
without any permanent injury.
Several of the children were play
ing on the floor with the teddy bear
when one of them threw it across the
room. The doll missed it's mark and
hit the baby in the face and the pro-
truding wire pierced the child's eye
and the dull remained suspended. The
wire was hook shaped on the end and
had entered the eye in such manner
as to make removal difficult. The
frantic mother tried in vain to re-
move the hook and John Ringness was
sent for. After trying his skill he
gave up the task and a call was
sent to DR.. Leuty who, shoeless,
hastened to the Porten home. The
doctor succeeded on removing the hook
by careful manipulation of the Teddy
bear. During the time the doll re-
mained in the baby's face the chile
suffered excruciating pain. Its screams
were heartrending and almost drove
the mother to distraction. The little
patient was doing nicely last evening
and indications point to its complete
recovery.
Morris tribune., 1916-10-13

Distance shots will make every play
perfectly plain and close-ups will be
inserted literally where necessary to
give details. All games will be photo
graphed complete, and from the entire
list of negatives will be assembled a
thrilling feature film of about ten
reels, depending on the number of
games played.
This baseball film is already in
great demand by the exhibitors of the
country and it was announced that on
ly the large cities would have first
chance to show them. Mr.. Gaffney
lost no time in making application for
film service and was agreeably sur
prised to receive favorable considera-
tion. He has been promised imme-
diate service as soon as the feature
film is completed and Stevens county
fans will see it before many of the
metropolitan cities in the country get
it, all of which indicates the splendid
service Mr.. Gaffney is giving theatre
goers in this little city.
The films will be ready for distribu-
tinn early in November and Manager
Gaffney has promised to show them
here Monday evening, Nov. 6.
