A we'll known local man is investi-
eating the manufacture of powdered
milk with a view of some day engag-
ing in the business in this city. He
says he has found the proposition has
considerable merit and that he is, be-
coming more deeply interested in the
matter. At the present time he has
nothing to say for publication further
than that he will look into the matter
thoroughly before announcing further
plans. He has had this venture under
consideration for some time. +
Powdered milk made at Hutchinson,
this state, is being used by American
soldiers in Mexico and now the Euro
pean allies are dickering with the
Hutchinson firm for three million
cans of the product. The Hutchinson
firm is the only one in the United
States engaged in this business and its
success has been phenomenal since it
started a short time ago. The process
of condensing the milk and rendering
it into powdered form is simple.

SEASON FOR BASS .
WAS OPEN MONDAY
One Days Catch Limited to IS
and IS is Limit in Possession
at One Time

The lid was officially pried off
from the 1916 bass season last Mon
day and from now and till February
% next year Morris fishermen will be
permitted to catch. fifteen bass each
day. Anglers in this city began
journeys to their.favorite haunts early
this week and if the weather is fav-
orable next Sunday the pilgrimage to
Lake Minnewaska will begin by auto
mobile. Few bass are caught in the
river but the lakes north and east of
Morris furnish good bass fishing.
The season which opened Monday
will not close till February %, 1917.
The season is closed on bass only dur
ing March, April and most of May.
Fifteen bass is the limit of one days
catch and no angler may have more
than 25 in his possession at one time
Local tackle dealers say business
has been slow up till this week. The
continued cold weather and rain has
dampened the ardor of local anglers
and the demand for tackle has been
light.
John Lehman, Charles Nelson and
Tailor Schuman opened the bass fish
ing season at Lake Minnewaska Mon
day and were successful in landing
several fine specimens. Mr.. Schuman
liked the trip so we'll that he coaxed
Judge Stenger, expert fisherman at
the court house, to accompany him
back to the lake on Tuesday, and the
results were gratifying.

HATLESS PASTOR
LATE FOR CHURCH
Morris Paste dr Fishes for Hat in
= Alberta S Slough as Chokio
Congr egation Waits

Hatless and dripping with per-
spiration Rev. J. ]. Thornell, pastor
of the Synod Lutheran church in
this city, appe eared before his congre-
cation at Chokfo last Sunday morning
just as the me 4mbers were about to
disband the me citing and go in search
for their minister long overdue. His
failure to arrive in time caused con-
siderable apprehension for it was
known that he had started from AL
berta aboard powerful automobile.
AS time wore On and the pastor failed
to arrive there were gloomy yforbod-
ings. 1t W as almost time to
adjourn. Then Rev. Thornell entered
hatless, Breathe and perspiring.
Leaving Alb erta with T. A. Maa-
mum, we'll known hardware merchant
at Alberta, as chauffeur all went we'll
till the big Car imbedded itself in a
mud-hole in the road, two miles OUT
side of Chokioj beside miniature
lake caused by the recent rains. The
party worked heroically without re-
suits till anothe er came and with the
use of chain helped them across.
Then the second car got stuck. While
at work getting the car out a gust Of
wind lifted the pastors chapeau into
the water and more time was spent
trying to resc he it. All attempts
were vain and Rev. Thornell started
out to do the remaining two miles of
the journey afoot, hatless, under a
beaming sun. After he left Mr..
Maanum waited at the shores and
when the lid floated in it was care
fully placed on the auto seat to dry
when Rev. Thor nell found it after the
services. = s.@
Mr.. Maanum Jared worse, In rescu-
ing the PASTORS hat his own was
blown into the water and is resting
today at the bottom of the slough.
He, too, continued the journey to
Chokio afoot. While at Chokio he
bought fish-pqle with the idea of
using it to recover his hat on the re-
turn trip. 81 mosied around town
bareheaded and didn't feel at all un
comfortable. said Mr.. Maanum.
When he return ed to the slough the
hat had disappe eared.
Altogether five cars became stalled
in the mudhole On the Chokio road at
the same time. "It was amusing to
see how each in coming car ventured
into the hole," said Mr.. Maanum in
describing the 81 Genes. "The last one
was Ford. T he driver stopped at
the brink, took survey and then
boastfully declR Rred he would fly
across with the whole load. The
way the car went in was a fright. 1t
was almost lost to view. Then five
woe-begone Sjoy riders stepped forth
and waded back in mud knee deep. 1t
was one of the worst trips l have ever
taken in all my life. Nevertheless
1t was thrilling, exciting, and full of
fun. The prayers from Chokio must
have helped some.''

MORRIS WOMEN IN
CLEANUP CRUSADE
Father and the Boys Have Easy
Time when Women go after
Street Rubbish

Several tons of rubbish were re-
moved from the streets of Morris last
Friday during the afternoon hours
when sixteen prominent women of
the city pi'oted the school children
about. The kids were armed with
forks, spears, pals and baskets and
as they passed through the streets
the rubbish disappeared as by magic.
Little mounds of rubbish at each
street intersection marked their pro.
gress.
The idea of cleaning up Morris in
this fashion originated with the Civic
League ladies several years ago and
has been worked with success several
seasons but the transformation this
year exceeded all expectations. The
teachers in the public schools took an
active interest in the matter and the
children became enthused. On the
west side the girls of the Seventh
grade urged to be enlisted. Miss
Hoag assayed the role of street clean
er and headed squad of children.
Among the ladies of the west side
who had charge of cleanup squads
were Mesdames Ray Roberts, C. R.
Wollthan. George Geenty, Archie
Stone, Sr., Richard Lotus, A.. H.
Ferrell, Mrs. Myron and Miss Hoag.
Mrs. Edward McAyeal, of St. Paul,
former resident of this city who
is here for visit, also became in
terested and headed a squad of chill
dren. Each squad was assigned a
street and after the task was finished
the children were brought to the west
side school house where lemonade was
served. All the little mouths were
parched and this was amply proven
in the manner the liquid joy disap-
peared. Each child had it's fill.
4 On the east side similar operations
were in progress. Mrs. Herman
Zahf had charge of the First street
cleaners; Miss Nellie Moran had
Second street; Mrs. Scobey, Third;
Mrs. Frank Zahl, Fourth, Mrs. F. A.
Hancock, Fifth; Mrs. Shepard, Sixth,
and Mrs. A. J. Norm, Seventh. The
children on the east side were taken
to a down town confectionery store
and treated to ice cream.
The ladies in charge of squads re-
port great interest among the children
with very few deserters. The girls
worked equally we'll with the boys
and none of them seemed afraid of
soiling their hands. Some remarkable
rubbish finds were made but the
bulk of it ran from old rags, waste
paper, pipes for smoking tobacco and
broken sewer tile. The refuse was
carried away by the city.

Your plumbing committee which was appointed about a year ago is still at york; he said, land I feel sure as soon as the city commission cah eliminate few of their pet schemes and get down to work, this ordinance will pass, saving property holders thousands of dollars, and thereby receive the thanks of a long suf- fering community
