Says Morris is a Good Town

H. D. Fahrenholz was about the
busiest man in Morris last Saturday
when his regular Saturday shoe sale
was in progress. Three sales people
were busy most of the day and the
merry clicking of the cash register
told that no credits were being asked
on the part of the customers. 81 wish
this room was three times as large as
it is, said Mr.. Fahrenholz. 81 don't

HILL GAINS FAME
IN BIBLE STUDIES
Began as Poor Boy in Morris
High School He is Now Civ
ing Out Scholarships

Interest in Bible studies begun
when he was poor bow attending the
Morris high school, several years ago
has brought fame and position to
Fred B. Hill, formerly resident in
this city but now a teacher of the
Bible at Carleton College, Northfeld.
Mr.. Hill has not been in Morris for
about five years and little has been
heard of him by his friends. Now he
is turning up as a prominent Bible
educator and a man of extensive
charities, and is helping a number of
financially embarrassed students
through schools, colleges and univers-
tiles. Mr.. Hills mother died here a
number of years ago and a little
mound in the cemetery here marks her
resting place. Mr.. Hills father is
somewhere in California.
The Virginia Enterprise, one of the
leading daily newspapers on the iron
range, prints the following pretty
story regarding Mr.. Hill and it will
undoubtedly be read with interest by
his friends in Morris:
"Last Thursday F. B. Hill, profess
sor at Carleton college, was unknown
to Virginia residents. The day fol-
lowing all the Virginia residents who
made the trip to the state basketball
tournament at Northfeld, the home
of Carleton college, knew him.
1.-THE story of Mr.. Hill is more than
interesting and contains lesson. A
number of years ago he was a poor
boy. He wanted to be minister, so
entered Carleton college. When his
work was completed at Carleton, he
went east and continued his theologi-
cal studies. While in the east he
became acquainted with a girl, who
was a member of wealthy and old
family. They became attached to
each other, but Mr.. Hill did not be-
lieve himself worthy of his sweet
heart. He demurred in asking for
her hand. Finally when Mr.. Sayles,
father of the girl in question, was
near death he asked for Mr.. Hill. He
told Mr.. Hill that he had tested him
and found him worthy of his daugh-
ter. They were married. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hill returned to Mortified. Mr..
Hill assumed his duties as a teacher
of the Bible. Four years ago he and
Mrs. Hill donated $4,000 to Garlic
ton college for a gymnasium. Other
donations have been made to the school
by Mr.. and Mrs. Hill. In addition,
Mr.. Hill offers scholarships to eastern
colleges. Although his charities are
not made public, it is known he is
helping number of students through
colleges and universities.
"Mr. Hill is a man. He is not as
we'll known as ]. J. Hill, but he
should be as favorably known. Garlic
ton college and Mortified can be proud
of him. He is a real American and
a credit to the community in which he
lives"

Discusses Increase of Navy.

ut behooves us all to be on the alert
In regard to increasing our navy and
its adjuncts along all reasonable lines
The United States ought to have a navy
second only to Greet Britain. But we
need not lose our heads and run wild
in pursuing that object, and above all
no one should be unjust and untruth-
full in criticisms of existing conditions
Looking further, 1 found this para
graph in Mr.. Meyers speech:
Nothing demonstrates unprepared-
ness in the navy more than shortage
of personns.. To go on a war basis we
are short about 1000 officers, after en-
ploying all that are on the retired list
and about As. 900 men.h
MIR. Meyer forgets, If he ever knew,
that at the time he left the Navy De-
partment the service was nearly 5000
short of the authorized enlisted COM
plement: that 46 per cent of the men
discharged in good standing were then
now re-enlisting; that during his in
cumbency there were 10,36O desertions.
MIR. Meyer needed men. and did the
best he knew how to get them; and yet
he left the navy nearly 5000 short.
Yet he has the cheek to hold his sue
cessor responsible for conditions which
are due wholly to his own shortcom-
ings as Secretary. How can he speak
with authority on the navy's present
shortage in officers, pray"
Every one knows officers cannot be
enlisted like sailors. 1t takes four years

The winters inactivity on the fight
ing lines is reflected IN the compare
lively light losses of thesBritish during
the last few weeks. The previous Off
cial British report, made by Premier
Asquith December "a, gave casualties
up to December at 52S,227, showing
loss in the intervening month of
21.24o. or 6s5 daily. During the heav-
lest fighting British casualties have
run far in excess of this average. They
amounted to $4,000 in the battle of Loos
alone, in period of two weeks last
fall. The monthly average from the
beginning of the war is about $4,000.
The British losses in the month pre-
ceding the period covered in today's
report were still smaller. The total
from November to December was
1897.

Congressional Visitors to the
White House Applaud Presi-
dents New York Talks.
RECEPTION BY PUBLIC
IS MOST ENTHUSIASTIC
Hoped on Western Trip Mr.. Wilson
Will Answer Criticisms of Col.
Roosevelt and Others.

Democratic congressional visi-
tors to the White House today
applauded the vigor and Iag-
gressiveness OF President Will
sons speeches in New York yes
terday. They declared that this
attitude on the part of the Presi-
dent was necessary to win .his
fight for preparedness in lining up
Congress and the country; neces-
sary to offset the charges of his
adversaries that his foreign poll
cies have been weak and without
the firmness that would get re-
suits; necessary to stiffen his po-
litical supporters, many of whom
have quietly criticised his course
in Mexico and in Europe.
Newspaper men who accompanied the
President to New York and who have
been with him on numerous former
trips to that city and elsewhere are
unanimous in agreeing that his recep-
ton in New York yesterday was far
more cordial and enthusias site than on
any other trip. This was apparent
they said today, not only among the
audiences addressed by him but on the
streets, where there could be no stimu
lation of enthusiasm such as that at a
banquet Of many persons, with the at
mosphere and surroundings conducive
to arousing the sentimentalities.
New York Especially Interested.
In an analysis of the reasons for the
increased enthusiasm for the President.
1t was pointed out. of course, that New
York is more vitality interested in pre-
paredness than any other city in the
country, as. in case of war, II would
probably be the first under attack from
foreign foe, with its millions as a
lure to the enemy. and the President
went to New York to talk on prepared
ness. 1t was declared, though, that the
pepper" shown by the President prob
ably had something to do with the en-
thusiasm awakened at all places visit
ed by him. 1t stirred his audiences.
which received an impression of him
different from former views
1t is understood to be likely that the
Presidents speeches on his western
trip, which begins tonight, his frst
speech being in Pittsburgh early to-
morrow afternoon. will be fully as ag-
gressive as those in New York yester-
day. His political friends hope so, any
way. they said today. They want TO
see him wake up the people and arouse
them to the dangers of unpreparedness
They want to see him follow this
course too. as an antidote to the Sc
we're criticisms of Col. Roovevelt and
others that he is TOO proud to fight -
That expression of his. explained aft
erward as having no bearing upon his
foreign policies. has been rung from
one end of the country to the other by
Col. Roosevelt and republican oppo-
nents.
Politicians are going to watch care
fully the outcome Of the trip in the
west. where the people are not as di-
rectly interested in preparedness as in
New York, but where aggressiveness
has brought political reward to distin-
guished statesmen with whom the
country has familiar acquaintance
