What is universally credited with
having been the best home talent the
atrical effort in Morris was given at
the Orpheum theatre Monday night
under the auspices of the ladies of the

HELD
AS FOE TO SAFETY
~
Stevens County Poultry Raisers
Get Warning from State
Fire Marshal Hargadine

Danger and death is lurking in
some of the incubators owned in
Stevens county according to the
views of State Fire Marshal Harga-
dine. Because an incubator lamp is
as likely to explode in the middle of
tn, night, when everyone is in bed
asleep, at any other time, the fire
marshal suggests that all farmers and
poultry raisers who use incubators be
very careful and keep the incubator
lamps clean.
BE careful with incubators, !"
says Mr.. Hargadine Every spring
large number of serious fires are re-
ported throughout Minnesota, caused
by lamps in incubators. The danger
lies in neglecting to properly clean
the lamps. Care should be taken to
prevent any oil from getting on the
outside of the lamp. Accommodations
of dirt in the incubator that might
become oil=soaked should not be toll
Grated. The incubator is great
source of danger and this department
urges all farmers and poultry raisers
to keep the working parts Of the in
cubator lamp in good working order
at all times. =

STENCIL FROM FISH
/ TELLS HARD STORY
Severe Cold with Low Waters in
Pomme de Terre Lake Res
ponsible for Loss

Fishermen at Pomme de Terre lake
are very careful of their operations
this week. The fishing season closed
last week and now it is illegal to
catch pike, crappies, muscallonge.
perch, sunfsh, sturgeon, trout, black.
gray or Oswego bass. The season
for trout opens again on April Is,
and on the others, except bass, on
April 80. The bass season opens
May 20. w.,
During the past winter the ice in
the lake froze to unusual thickness
and fish were destroyed in enormous
numbers. Farmer Thieman says it
requires no stretch of the imagination
to smell the dead fish already, and
predicts terrible stencil as soon as
the ice goes out. There is a strong
sentiment in favor of a movement to
dam the lake next fall in order to pro-
vide more water for the fish. 1t is
suggested that a dam be placed in
the river to back up the waters at
least two feet. This can be done at a
time when no damage will result to
farmers whose lands may be partially
inundated through the winter months.
Those who are interested in the matter
(and that includes everybody in the
county interested in fish, expect to lay
the proposition before the county com.
rmissioners at some future meeting ir
hopes that action can be had before
the lake freezes next fall.
Pomme de Terre is one of the few
good fish lakes in the county. It il
popular with fishing and outing parties
from everywhere during the summer
months.

PIONEER MERCHANT
GAY ON BIRTHDAY
J. E. Danielson Demonstrates
Fallacy of OsIer Theory at
Sixty-sixth Milestone

The theory of DR.. Osler holding
that all men pass the state of useful
ness at the fiftieth year and recon-
mending chloroform after that age
was demonstrated as an absolutely
ridiculous folly in this city last Tues
day when j. E. Danielson, pioneer
merchant of Morris, clambered high
into the shelves with the agility of
squirrel and declared it was his sixty
sixth birthday. Mr.. Danielson fin
ished the day by doing two men s
work in arranging the stock of high
priced shoes and declared he felt as
handsome as he ever did in his young
er days. r.
Mr.. Danielson came to Morris
thirty seven years ago and since that
time has conducted a general mercan-
tile business. He began when the city
had a population of three hundred and
the sidewalks stopped at his door.
New firms and new faces have come
and gone but Mr.. Danielson is still
on deck and it looks as if it may be
thirty-seven years more before he is
ready to retire. He thinks the trials
and tribulations of the old pioneer are
disappearing and that new vexations
are coming on worse than the first,
but he is determined to stick for the
big show. Today he is busy opening
a new line of dry goods and silks Sc
cured before the prices advanced.
GAS 1 get older l grow more gener-
Gus" said Mr.. Danielson, "and
we're going to pat on a sale soon
that will astonish and please the
ladies and loosen the purse-strings of
their tight wad husbands -
Although the day was disagreeable
outside last Tuesday there was an air
of gayety and welcome at the Daniel
son store. Mr.. Danielson's we'll known
good nature asserted itself early in the
day as he opened his morning mail
and found large portrait of his only
daughter, Miss Florence, who is now
teaching music in New York City.
Greetings and we'll wishes on his
birthday accompanied the portrait
and that's how he came to remember
his often recurring birthday. Miss
Danielson was on her way to Germany
to finish her musical studies when the
war dogs were unleashed and she
concluded to remain in the land of the
free. For the present she is engaged
in teaching and does not know just
when she will return to Morris.

DUPES SEND FUNDS;
YOUTH BUYS BEER
County Auditor Wollthan Told
of Novel War Fake Success
full in Stearns County

County Auditor Wollthan made a
flying trip to St. Cloud Saturday on
business connected with his office.
While there he learned of a new en-
terprise started by young man who
may have f1eeced Morris or Stevens
county people. The young man is
now held by the Stearns county Off
GERS pending an investigation regard
ing the extent of his operations. His
stunt was a get-rich-quick scheme and
his victims are said to be distributed
all over the country.
The young man in question is re-
sident of Stearns county. He repre-
sented himself to be an English sub
ject and wrote letters broadcast to
Englishmen making an appeal for fin
ancial aid in order to go back to Eng
land to enlist. He stated he was
without funds, lived in a German
community, but was fairly bubbling
over with patriotism for his beloved
king. Letters laden with money be-
gan to arrive from all sections of the
country and some came from Canada.
One came from the English govern
ment inclosing handsome draft. AS
the wealth began piling up the young
man manifested his patriotism by
hustling to the nearest saloon where
he drank to the health of King George
and spent the English money treating
his German friends. The scheme
would be working yet but the United
States postal department stepped in.
Now the young man is languishing
in Jail while the sheriff Is receiving
his mail and the authorities are pre-
fering fraud charges. If convict
ed the young man will not have g
chance to 60 to England. He will be
sent to the federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth and will probably b.
there when the war ceases.
Whether or not this enterprisine
youth numbers his victims in Stevens
county is not yet known. If there
are any they will undoubtedly keel
their identity we'll guarded secret
