MORRIS HIGH PLANS
HAVE TRACK TEAM
Tom Thumb Wedding Tuesday
Herman Teams Defeat Morris
Other School Notes

The coming spring will bring
many changes in Morris residents,
but perhaps nothing will seem more
striking than to see a group of high
school boys clad in very abbreviated
costume racing across country, put
ting the shot or pole vaulting over
lofty standards. The material for
the first track team of the Morris
high school is here in abundance is
the opinion of Ray S. Quinlivan,
principal of the high school, and who
has record of over 40 feet for put
ting the shot. Mr.. Quinlivan will
coach the track team and already
has a number of track aspirants
running, leaping and fitting them
selves for an athletic tryout.
The first and second grades of the
LOngfellow school will give tom
Thumb Wedding" at the high
school auditorium next Tuesday
night. The little tots have been in
structed by special teacher and by
the teachers of the first and second
grades and an interesting program
IS assured.
The girls and boys basket ball
teams of the Norris high school and
large bunch of rooters went to
Herman Friday night and the Nor
ris teams were both defeated. The
boys teams have this alibi to offer;
the floor was very slippery, they
missed the baskets by infnitesimal
margins and the Herman court was
entirely too small.
The girls basket ball team will
play the girls at the Benson school
| tomorrow night at Benson.
The Lutheran Seminary Glee Club
was present at the Monday morn
ing exercises at the high school and
rendered an excellent twenty min
utes concert.
The Washington's birthday pro-
grams given at the high school
building and at the Longfellow
building last Thursday evening were
two of the most pleasing events of
the school year.

New Study of Why Som" Men Go on
Periodic Debauci!es,


There has re- emily been organized il!

of drink storms" which attack men
who are not regular drinkers, but sud

liquor to excess for a limited period,
after which they resume their usual
condition of temperate living.
This subject is treated by DR.. T. D.

What condition Of body and mind fur
nishes the soil, plants the seed and ia
vors the growth in tnebriety and alco-
holism is yet to be studied. What laws
Of growth, heredity, culture, surround
ings, nutrition and mental impression

are questions for the future
"Why the degeneration from the use
of alcohol is in one instance slow, con-
cealed and breaking out only after a
lifetime in various diseases; in another
rapid, positive and most emphatic, and
in third concentrated on the brain
and nervous system or on the organs
of nutrition, and so on through a long
list Of questions as to why and how

breaks out. are questions for future

The next morning a change had come

1t was very stupid Of me not to think

up by what had occurred that was
incapable of anything for awhile.
1t was plain that Sarah Flint was do

me. l, supposing that she was turning
Jim against me, didn't give him
chance to show his faith in and sym

from him every time he approached

he kept making up to Sarah, and
when he passed me he held his nose in

The evening after the day Of the
theft said to Mary:

Then told her how the girl had gone

Mary went right away to the others

DEATH OF YOUNG WIFE
DESTROYS IDEAL HOME
Death of Mrs. A. A. Drager Comes as
Tragedy to Many Friends and
Relatives

Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
Drager, living two miles north of
Morris, was the happiest day of their
year Of married life. When the
lights of the farm house were
dimmed late in the evening the hap
by young couple retired with a pray
er of thankfulness in their hearts.
Within the course of another day a
visit from the stOrk was expected.
At 2 o'clock Monday morning Mrs.
Drager was suddenly stricken and a
physician from Norris was quickly
summoned to her bedside. The ply
stefan recognizing the dangerous
symptoms summoned another physi-
clan to his aid. At 4:3O Monday
morning Mrs. Drager died.
The death of Mrs. Drager comes as
a tragedy to her many friends and
relatives. Although Mr.. and Mrs.
Drager have resided in Stevens coun-
ty a few days more than a year, her
many womanly qualities, her devo-
ton to her home and her husband,
have endeared her to all who knew
her. A neighbOr as he looked into
the open coffin Tuesday and saw the
young woman, and the little one, for
whom the deceased sacrificed her
life, lying so still, strong man that
he was, bowed his head and wept
with silent grief.
The maiden name of Mrs. Drager
was Shirley Fay Knight. She was
born December Fl, 1888 at Marke-
san, Wisconsin. It was here that she
spent her girlhood days and was
graduated from the Pomona High
School at Clairmont, California. She
was graduated from RipOn College
in 1914. A little more than a year
ago she was married to Mr.. A. A.
Drager at Markesan.
The happy couple came to Stevens
county February 16, 1915. The first
of the year they moved on the Stan
ton farm, two miles north of Nor
home
Short funeral services were held
at the Drager home Wednesday
morning. Rev. F. A. Stever was in
charge of the services. The deceased
and the little child were sent to
Markesan for burial The baby will
be buried with it's mother. Harry
Olson accompanied Mr.. Drager to St.
Paul.

ruefully.
ANY man who is engaged to a girl
and won't stand by her when she is
accused-at least till she is proved
guilty-is no man for me-"
He went away very much crestfallen.
Soon after this interview l saw Sarah
trying to cOddle him. He listened to
her till she had come to a stopping
point, then turned and walked away
from her. l noticed that he didn't
join her again while we were at Mary
Jones.
Finally I forgave him.
