DONNELLY MAN DIES
FROM AUTO ACCIDENT
Racer Turned Over and Ray Burt
Sustained Fatal Injuries-Carl
Neitzel Escaped

A Ford racer containing Ray Burt
and Carl Neitzel of Donnelly with
Neitzel driving turned over about
three miles north of Herman last
Sunday, and as result of the in
juries received Mr.. Burt died on
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. NeitzeI
was only slightly injured and is now
able to be about.
The accident happened as the re-
suit of fast driving. The Ford was
travelling at a tremendous speed
when it struck small culvert and
left the road, went thru wire fence
and turned over at least twice, mean
while turning completely around.
Mr.. Burt was picked up with serious
wounds on his head, taken to the
hotel at Herman, and medical atten-
tion given, but he never recovered
consciousness. DR.. Caine of this city,
was called in consultation.
Mr.. Burt died on Wednesday, and
the body was prepared for shipment
to South Dakota, where the funeral
will be held.
Mr.. Burt was 80 years of age, and
had worked for George Pushor at
Donnelly the last two years. He is
survived by a brother and mother in
DonneIly.
The Ford car was one which had
been stripped and geared up for rae

branches of the military service, but
it is not known whether the county
will get credit for every one. If the
county is given credit for 60 men
then there will be none called from
here for the first increment, and at
any rate there are sure to be very
few.
Incidentally, it may be noted that
the war departments estimate of
population shows an increase of 655
since 1910. The federal census gave
Stevens county S,299 in 1910, 8,721
in 1900, and 5,251 in 1890.

Active Campaign Now On-Chapter
and Branches in Other Towns
Grow Rapidly
GAIN OF 24O YESTERDAY
Appeal from Abroad Shows Enormous
Supplies Are Needed at the
Front

The membership committee of the
Stevens County Chapter of the Red
Cross are making an active campaign
for members this week, and the
branches in the other villages of the
county are also active.
Eight teams of ladies accompanied
by Red Cross girls canvassed the city
of Morris for Red Cross members
yesterday and added about 24O to
the membership of the Stevens Coun-
ty Chapter. There we're about 200
members previously enrolled, making
the total membership now about 440.
The Hancock branch has already
used up $50 membership cards and
has asked for $50 more, indicating
that the branch within the Hancock
jurisdiction will not rest content
with membership of less than 500.
A meeting was held at Chokio on
Thursday night, and strong branch
will be formed there.
At Alberta, meeting was held on
Saturday evening, and the work
there has been taken up with en-
thusiasm.
At DOnnelly, meeting was held
last week, and another meeting last
evening to perfect arrangements for
the branch there.
Mrs. Passmore of Minneapolis, was
here from the state headquarters
yesterday assisting in the member
ship campaign and advising the local
chapter.
That there is plenty for the local
chapter to do is shown by the follow
ing appeal received this week. --
ITO All Chapters: ..s--- -.s-
BASED upon recent cable advices
from our allies, the following sup
plies are urgently needed, and all
chapters are asked to ship to the
nearest Branch Warehouse of The
Red Cross Supply Service whatever
supplies they may have on hand cor
responding to this list, and to speed
up their work rooms on these parti-
cular articles.
$4,000 bath robes or convalescent
gowns.
100000 pairs bed socks.
100000 handkerchiefs.
65O,OOO hospital bed shirts.
100000 suits pajamas.
100000 shoulder wraps.
100000 pairs socks.
100000 pairs ward slippers.
These hospital garments are
greatly needed NOW and should be
made according to specifications Civ
en-.
''The production of bandages and
surgical dressings however, should
not be allowed to fall off on account
of this special appeal, as cable mes
sages from Paris and Rome ask for
constant supply of these in view of
the recent heavy fighting and the diff
fculty of getting raw materials
abroad.
"a special effort should be made
to have the above articles shipped at
the earliest date possible"

the Public Safety Commission in or
der that the commission may take
steps for the greatest industrial eff
ficiency, and just now he is very busy
finding farm jobs for workers and
getting help for farmers.
Mr.. Adams salary for all this work
is nothing minus.
Mr.. Adams would be the last man
in town to take any credit to him
self-in fact, he would probably
name a dozen or two other men whom
he would consider as more entitled
to credit than himself, yet the fact
remains that as head of the Indus
trial League and as Director for the
county the first responsibility is on
his shoulders, and it is further true
that as such head we may fittingly
select him for especial mention in
paying honor to the type which he
represents-business men who are
giving without stint Of their time and
of their money for the advancing of
voluntary public activities which
weld the nation, the state and the
community into one.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1917-07-20

When r. NJ Adams was elected
president of the Morris Commercial
Club last winter, there wasn't a
great deal to do but he started in
doing things just the same. So when
the war came on, he helped start the
movement for a county patriotic or
ganization, and was the logical man
for president of the Stevens County
Industrial League. Then the Public
Safety Commission heard of him and
made him director for Stevens coun-
ty.
If Mr.. Adams has had any time
for his private business he must
have taken the time real early in the
morning for he and several other
business men of this city have found
that a good share of the business
hours, many evenings and even some
Sundays are taken up by the various
kinds of public work. Mr.. Adams
has been active in getting the county
organized, in the sale of Liberty
Bonds, in the organization of the Red
Cross, in supplying information to

Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Ortman have re-

enlisted in the medical corps. Walter
is over military age, but this did not
deter him from enlisting.
John Ortman, who some time ago
enlisted in the quartermaster's re-

at Fort Smelling, and left last night

ment. He says that since the troops
landed in France, all are wondering
when they will go, but that this will
depend on whether the regiment is
filled with trained men of raw re-
cruits.
II never realized, writes Mr., Mum
70, what a joke the saying of "a mill
lion men springing to arms to de-
fend the nation was till I got in the
army. 1t takes couple of months at
least before a man is worth his ra-
tions as a soldier except on fatigue,
and at that the older a soldier he is
the less use he is. A person then
realizes where the expression soldier
ing originated"

Burden Is Put Upon Each Registrant
to Inform Himself if He is
Drawn
VERY FEW NEEDED HERE
Stevens County's Quota Determined
on an Estimated Population of
8,948

Elsewhere in this issue is pub
trants in Stevens county for the
selective draft Each person is eX-
pected to inform himself of his serial
number, as these numbers are the
ones which will be drawn by lot to
determine the order in which regis
tered persons are to be called by the
various local boards.
Dispatches from Washington con-
tinue to promise that the drawing of
numbers for the selective draft will
be made some time this week, prob
ably on Saturday, but there are still
few counties in a few states that
have not reported, and the drawing
cannot be made until the last state
reports that every registrant has
been given a serial number. There
have been various speculative reports
as to just how the numbers will be
drawn to designate those to be called,
but several points are not yet clear.
Full information is promised soon
and will be published as soon as
given out.
Notice will be mailed to persons
drawn, and their names will also be
posted, and persons so designated
must appear on certain day for
physical examination. If passed
physically, seven days are given in
which to present claim for exemp-
tion, and ten days more in which
to present proof. This proof must
be by affidavit on forms obtainable
from Secretary Wollthan, and Incl
dentalIy it may be said that Secret
ary Wollthan has discovered that he
will have supply of 174 different
forms to be used for various matters
that will come before the exemption
board
The local board consisting of Aud
itor Wollthan, Sheriff Zahl and Coun-
ty Physician Caine, will hear no claim
for exemption orally, but every
claim must be made by written af-
fidavit. The local board will pass
on no claim except those of physical
disability and dependent relatives.
Notices giving the action of the
board Will be posted, and appeal may
then be taken within ten days to the
district board. The district board
alone has power to pass upon claims
for Occupational exemption, and
these claims must be made on regu-
lar blanks, supported by af1davits.
The decision of the district board
will be posted. When selected it will
not be necessary to report for mill
tary service until ordered to do so.
HOW MANY FROM STEVENS?
The quota for each state and coun-
ty is figured on the basis of two
thirds Of one per cent of the estim-
ated population. The quota for Min
nesota is 1854 net after allowance
is made for those already in service
The quota for Stevens county is
figured on an estimated population
Of 8,948, and would therefore be 60
men. There are already over so men

MORRIS BENEDICTS
WILL PLAY HANCOCK
Will Furnish Sport for Spectators
and Swell the Red Cross
Funds
Game at Hancock today.


Game at Morris next Friday, July
27, called at 4:3O p. M, and all
business places closed to see the
sport.
The above is the schedule for the
Stevens County Married Mems
League of Superannuated Ball Toss
ers. The teams are composed of mar
ried men of Hancock and Morris, and
they are going to furnish sport for
the assembled multitudes for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
The married men of Hancock are
feeling mighty spry after recent
game they had with the single men
of that town, and are sure they can
take both games from the men of
the county seat. The Norris men,
on the other hand, are very sure that
their glory on the baseball field can
never fade, and that they can last for
nine innings if their supply of bench
players doesn't run out. Here are
those who will uphold the honor of
Morris, Andrusick, Leo Berns, VIM.
Buttell, Markle, Sylvander, Cherry,
Spooner, Guy Stewart, DR.. Johnson,
Voss, Kreiss, PrObst, Harry Adams,
Herman Schmidt, Manner and H. B.
Jones.
A big crowd are planning on go
ing to Hancock tonight, and some
thing of what the boys are up
against may be CLEANED from the
following announcement that comes
from Hancock
"There is going to be some ball
game at the school diamond this eve
ming. 1t is going to be between the
old timers of Hancock and Morris.
Two games at least will be played
between these old has-beens, one
here this evening, and the other at
Morris next Friday evening. The en-
tire proceeds here go to the local
Red Cross, the proceeds at Norris to
the Morris Red Cross. That is the
ostensible reason given for the games
to raise funds for the Red Cross, but
back of that is something else. Some
| Morris guy intimated that Ford
Murphy, Syverson and the rest of the
burch here were getting old and the
boys are going to do their prettiest
to demonstrate to the Mildews of the
county seat that they are just as
young as they used to be. Further
more both sides will be playing fol
peace at their own firesides as we
understand that the wives of the
warriors have informed them very
plainly they can look for another
boarding place if their team is de-
feated and as the Hancock ladies
generally mean what they say the
boys here know that it is up to them
to make good and everlastingly
knock the socks off Morris. On the
other hand while we do not know
but one or two of the ladies at the
county seat still we would hate
player if Hancock does knock the
socks off their team and there you
are. If you live in town get your
supper early and come to that game
If you live in the country do the
same thing and let the milking &C
for one night until after the war il
over at eight o'clock. The COWS will
give more milk and it will be cooler
milking The admission will be two
bits. The game will be worth more
than that and you would have tt
give the quarter anyway later on tt
the Red Cross. Do it now.
"One of the requirements is tha
all players will have to bring either
their marriage certificate, wife o.
baby with them to prove their eligi
bility to the team

Mr.. Hagerman has been with the

number of years. He was home in

the war broke out, and has been in
Odessa ever since. He has often
found it difficult to even communi-
