JORDAN GIVEN FREE
TRIP TO EXPOSITION
Farm School Professor Honored for
Work for Shorthorn Association.
Other School News

Professor P. S. Jordan of the Farm
School has recently been notified by
the Minnesota Shorthorn Breeders
Association, that the Executive Com
m1ttee has voted to give to Mr.. and
Mrs. Jordan a free trip to the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition to
be held in Chicago from December
3 to 8. This action in behalf of the
Minnesota ShOrthOrn Breeders is in
recognition of the splendid service
that Mr.. Jordan has rendered to the
association during the past three
years during which time he has been
secretary of this organization. Last
January, Mr.. Jordan managed the
sale of pure bred stock held at South
st. Paul which totaled $24,4OO.OO.
The sale was the most successful in
the history of the association and
higher averages were secured for all
stock sold than were ever before Sc
cured by any breeders association
selling Shorthorn cattle. Mr.. Jor-
dan will also manage the next sale
which will be held the 4th and 5th
of January, 1918. The sale catalog
is now being compiled and the sale
promises to eclipse the record estab-
lished year ago.
Mr.. Jordan has a wide acquaint-
ance among the cattle men of the
state and has taken an active part
in the organization and development
of the ShOrthOrn Breeders Associa-
ton. Mr.. Jordan will be the official
representative Of the association at
the International exposition. This
exposition is the largest live stock
show in the world and while it is
largely made up of stock from the
Central states, breeders from the
Northwest are gradually gaining a
foothold in the prize lists. Mr.. Jor-
dan believes that several Minnesota
breeders will this year be found
among the prize winners at this
great exposition.
During the few years that he has
been with the West Central School,
he has developed the live stock re-
sources to remarkable degree in
dairy cattle, beef cattle and hogs.
me blood lines and individuals
which make up the Shorthorn and
Holstein herds at the school are the
finest breeding that money can buy
and the station will soon be in
position to furnish the stock of ex-
cellent breeding to farmers in west
ern Minnesota.

WAS WITH u. S. ARMY In
FRANCE RETURNS HERE
Hans P. Johnson Was With First
U. S. Troops Ever Since Sent to
Fight in Europe


Wouldn't you feel that your life
of thirty years in the service of I'm
Gle Sans Calalry and infantry had
been ended in a host of pleasant
remembrances, honor and no little
glory, if you had been on the trans
port ship bearing part of the first
American army to European battle
fields, and if a German submarine
had fired a torpedo, which would
have struck you amid ships if the
transport had not swerved sharply
in its course in response to the warn
ing siren Of one Of the battle cruisers
guarding the fleet of transports?
And if that wasn't enough honor
add to it an individual picture in
LIE Journal, one Of the great Partisan
daily newspapers and also a picture
in the Paris edition of the New
York Herald, showing you in
the foreground Of the American
troops marching through the streets
of Paris on the great Fourth of July
celebration accorded the American
soldiers by the French government.
This was the fitting way in which
Hans P. Johnson, now residing with
his brother, James Johnson in
the Grove addition, rounded a mill
tary career Of thirty years of very
honorable service in the United
States cavalry ard later in the in
fantry of the regular army Mr..
Johnson was given his retirement
papers as a reward for thirty years
Of active service while he was in
France, first sergeant of the second
battalion of the - United States
a part of the troops
that formed the first contingent of
United States soldiers ever sent to
fight on a Euopean battle field.
Mr.. Johnson arrived in Norris Mon
day morning. He expects to make
this his permanent home, that is"
said Mr.. Johnson, eff it doesn't get
too cold for me-" Five years ago Mr..
Johnson was here on furlough and
bought five city lots and it was to
come here and perhaps build a perm
anent home that led him direct
ly home after he received his retire
ment papers September 5.
Mr.. Johnson has served in the
Philippines and Cuba during the
5panish-American and PHILIPPINE
uprising but regards his trip to
France as an experience that easily
offsets all previous happenings.

to France was about -- strong"

NORTHWESTERN FLOUR
OUTPUT IS CURTAILED
Local Mills Are Ordered to Grind
Only 90 Per Cent, But Order is
Rescinded

The Morris City Mills received an
order last Saturday to grind only
1850 bushels of wheat per week, but
through the good efforts of S.
Stewart, the owner, the order was
rescinded Tuesday afternoon by tele-
gram and today the mills are grind
ing at their full capacity of 5000
bushels per week. Immediately on
receipt of the telegram Saturday
limiting the output of the mills, Mr..
Stewart went to Minneapolis and in
tervieWed Mr.. Case the government
manager for Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Montana, Iowa, and part of Wyom-
ing, and laid the local situation be-
fore him stating that the Morris City
Mills would have to close if the order
went into effect, that the farmers
who had wheat in this vicinity
would suffer greatly and that he
would be obliged to meet a very
heavy loss through the inability to
fill his contracts for future delivery.
The government officials evident
ly realized the justice of his inter
view and Tuesday wired Mr.. Stewart
that the mills here would be allowed
to run at the present rate of grind
ing. There are a great number of
mills in this zone that have been in
structed to grind only so per cent
of their average output and some
have been forced to grind even a
smaller percentage. 1t was rumored
here this week that the mill at
Graceville was forced to close for 80
days because it did not comply with
the government order as to the
amount of grain it could grind.
The purpose of the curtailment of
the output of certain mills, is to
distribute the supply of grain more
evenly and allow substantial ship
ments into other divisions. This
curtailment affects all the mills in
the northwestern division in differ
ent degrees. The mills are limited
to the sale Of 80 days output, and
are limited to the sale to any party
of no more than 80 days supply. The
mills are further instructed to keep
within the profits fixed by the gov
ernment, and will not be able to hold
stored wheat more than 80 days, and
are limited to the purchase of 80
days supplies.
Mr.. Stewart said that the govern
ment restrictions would not affect
his mill at Mott, N. D., as the wheat
crop in that vicinity was below
normal and is only sufficient to sup
ply the needs of that locality. While
in the cities looking after the mill
ing interests this week Mr.. Stewart
engaged the services of Peter J.
Gallagher, of st. Paul, an expert
accountant. Mr.. Gallagher returned
with Mr.. Stewart and is now en-
ployed in auditing the books of the
Morris City Mills.

Will Pay S15,OOO-Refund $4,000

There will be a bond election in
connection with the city election on
November on account of water
works bonds which will become due
next year. The orginiaI waterworks
bonds for $4,000 were issued in
August, 1898, and these will become
due in August, 1918. The city will
have $4,000 from it's sinking fund
and from profits from the water
works to apply on the bonds, and
will apply to the state for $4,000
to make up the balance. Under the
charter the commission could refund
these bonds without an election, but
the state board of investment re-
quires that the bonds be voted at an
election.
The bonds now draw five per cent
interest but the state loan will draw
only four per cent besides giving the
advantage of instaIIment payments.
If the bonds are not voted and the
money not obtained from the state.
the city may have to pay five per
cent or even more by next summer.

LIEUT.. FITZGERALD
TELLS OF WAR GAME
Interesting Problems Worked Out on
the Care of the Wounded Dur
ing Battle

Thru the courtesy Of Mrs. E. T.
Fitzgerald, we are able to print the
following most interesting account
of his work by Lieutenant Fitz-
gerald, who is now taking his mill
tary training at. Fort Riley. DR.
Fitzgerald expects soon to be trans
ferred south to Camp Travis, near
San Antonio, Texas. The doctor
says in his letter.
eve have a great time now study
ing war games. The Missouri Reds
and the Kansas Blues are at war.
We are with the Blues. Our forces
are to hold the post until we can get
the stores out. We have a regiment.
A small force of cavalry came from
Manhattan and attacked us at 10
a. m. We drove them off. Our loss
was 10 per cent and theirs was 20
per cent. The loss is the killed and
wounded. Of the loss 20 per cent
are killed, IL per cent cannot be
moved, 28 per cent must be moved
in an ambulance on stretchers, 40
per cent can walk. Those are rules
by which they estimate the casualties
in battle.
"A regiment has 1900 men, The
sanitary detachment of a regiment
has four medical officers and 29 en-
listed men, three ambulances,- one
pack mule. We got our field orders
before we Went into battle. We had
to be out at 2 o'clock when we had
our stores removed to our base at
Salina, Kans. At noon the enemy
came back with a much stronger
force and drove us back with 20 per
cent loss. Enemy's loss was 10 per
cent.
''The problem is for each one of
us to write out the solution as
though we were the regimental sur
geon. We have a map of the battle
field. By being able to read the map
we must pick a safe place for our
regimental aid station. The pack
mule carries the supplies for the aid
station. We call him the sanitary
train. In battle all the wounded are
tagged. If they are able to walk to
the dressing station, they use the
to be carried they use the white and
blue. The sanitary detachment-the
regiment tags them then when the
ambulance comes it picks them up.
The above problem is called San
itary Tactics.
1--WE got our wounded out all
right in the first battle. We had
to take care of the enemys wounded
also. But in the second battle we
had to leave our wounded to the
enemy and get out with our regi-
ment the best we could.
I'VE are getting good work in
military surgery. Major Davis of
Chicago, who was across with Muir
phys unit, is giving it to us. He
gives lantern slides and lectures of
the different war wounds and treat
ments.
"The English and French commits
sion was here this week. We were
kept busy with reviews and exhibi-
ton drills anda listening to lectures.
Col. Goodwin, the Englishman, gave
us a talk on the retreat to the Marne.
1t was very interesting He was a
medical officer in the army at the
time.

RED CROSS AUCTION
HELD HERE MONDAY
More than 600 Will Donate to Bene-
fit Sale; Excellent Entertain
ment Provided

There is a Red Cross Benefit sale
scheduled for next Monday after
noon. 1t is scheduled to start at one
p. m. and continue perhaps all af-
ternOOn and is to be held on the
vacant lot between Weum's store
and the Morris National Bank.
But the many people from all over
Stevens county who attend the auc-
tiOn will find that there is much
more than mere sale or auction.
The selling of the great variety of
goods that will be on hand only re-
presents a way by which Stevens
county residents are able to aid the
work of the Stevens county Red
Cross Society. There will be more
than 900 contributors to the auction.
There would be many more if the
committee were able to meet them
and take their contributions. The
sale provides an excellent way by
which everyone can give of their
substance without feeling the pinch
of the sacrifice. Likewise it pro-
vides way by which your purchases
can accomplish direct good.
The sale will begin promptly at
1 p. m. There will be an hour of
entertainment provided before the
sale however. Supt. P. E. Miller of
of the University farm school will
give a brief address on the work of
the Red Cross. There will be an
exhibition drill by the Morris Home
Guards and several selections will be
played by the Morris band. AS an
added entertainment feature the
Morris Red Cross Chapter will have
on exhibition a large amount of
knitted work, surgical dressings and
other work done by the members of
the local chapter
Mr.. Coffey, of Litchfeld and who
will be remembered by Morris peo-
pie as demonstrating the Cream of
Barley exhibit at the Stevens County
Fair in 1916, will be in charge of the
sale. Mr.. Coffey has made an envi-
able reputation in this part of the
state as an auctioneer Mr.. Coffey
has most kindly donated his services
for crying the sale.
There will be a free lunch served
in the Weum Annex beginning at
2:30 p. m. and continuing through
out the afternoon. The lunch will
consist of coffee, sandwiches and
doughnuts.
The contributions from the Nor
ris residents will be collected Sunday
afternoon. The contributors are
asked to have all of their donations
ready by 3 p. m, in order that there
will be no delay in the collecting.
The committees have a large number
on each list and it would be next
to impossible to call for some live
ducks and chickens and then have
to wait until someone ran the fowl
around the yard a dozen times. The
farmers are to be solicited today and
tomorrow and will be asked to bring
in contributions Monday morning
to the committee so that the articles
can be listed for the afternoons sale.
The Tribune is asked to make the
announcement that the Home Guard
members will be asked to report at
the armory at 1915 p. m. The men
will have to be there at this hour or
the entertainment features will not
be concluded before the time sche-
duled for the sale to begin.
