of Twenty

If it takes one hour to collect $1OO
from Morris citizens to provide for
uniforms for the marching club that
is to represent the eity at tina st.
Paul Outdoor Sports Carnival, the
latter part of this month, how long
will il take the committee to collect

time getting about half of the required
amount in an hours work Wednesday
afternO OOn.
AS soon as the committee collects
$3.50 the uniforms for the marching
club will be ordered. S. A. Siverts,

slogan this year "Make 1t Hotter
One" The date of the big out door
celebration is January 27 to February
3. The National Ski Tournament will
be held at St. Paul in connection with

MANY DANCES HELD
DURING HOLIDAYS
Social Hops Are Principal En-
tertainment for Morris Soc
iety Past Two Weeks

Dancing is proving to be the prin-
cipal amusement during the Christ
mas holidays. There seems to be q
lesser number than usual of parties
and entertainments for the young peo-
Pile, who are back from school or who
have returned home to spend the
holidays from other cities, and q
larger number of dances, given to
bring the young people together.
There were three dances given last
week in Morris. Thursday night a
number of the young ladies gave a
dance in the large dining room of the
Merchants hotel for their ''men
friends" Tuesday night of last week
the young people of Morris gave a
dance in Linne's hall. Friday night
the Goody Shop gave another of their
popular Friday night dansants.
This week there were two dances in
Morris and there is to a dance at
Herman, which will be a drawing
card for large number of Morris
people. The New Years dance that
was given at the Goody Shop on
Monday afternoon and night, was
the best of the dances that have so
far been given by J. E. Fury. The
holidays decorations lent a spirit
of Christmas cheer and ga Happy
New Year" to everyone, who attend
ed. Nor did the dance stop when the
light went out for about ten minutes
Monday night. Christmas candles
placed along the show cases lit the
room for the dancers, and proved to
be a pleasant incident of the evening.
Who can say that the annual ball
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
given in the armory, Tuesday night
was not "the greatest ever" The
entire proceeds of the dance went to
the relief of the Irish sufferers in
the recent rioting in Dublin, and it.

brought every Irishman and many
others out to the dance in greater
numbers than ever before.

cost of $4,000.
There were number Of 6ne
farm buildings erected near a,, ~

finest conutry farm houses in, Ssevsag
county were erected during 1916. F.
L. Gould's home burned to the ground
last September, but before the last
of the year he had constructed new
$4,000 two story bungalow, modern
and with heating and wiring fixtures.
Fred Chaplinski new home a
mile south east of Morris, is said to

ty. 1t is two story frame dwelling,

Morris tribune., 1917-01-05

The year nineteen hundred sixteen,
in spite of poor crops, proved to be the
best in the last three or four years in
building and improvement. More than
thirty five new homes and business
structures were built and old
residences were remodeled. The
building of the past year shows
that more modern and costly struc-
lures were erected than ever before.
The residences of 1916 were built
according to blue prints and not on
the ancient theory that house is a
thing with four walls and can be
built in hit or miss style.
The high rent that is being
charged for residences in Morris
shows the need of many more dwell
ings and of the continued progress of
the city. There are many eye-sores.
too, that should be torn down and
constructed anew.
The new engineering building on
the University farm school campus,
that was recently completed at an
approximate cost of $4,000 is the
finest and most expensive of all the
building done during the year. 1t is
one of the best equipped buildings of
its kind in this part of the country.
The Merchants hotel addition and
the j H. Walz Hardware store build
ing is next to the engineering build
ing in point of expenditure. The cost
of construction was $15, 900. The
building is of brick and provides for
an addition of 26 rooms to the Mer-
chants hotel and makes the Walz
Hardware store one of the finest in
the state. The Strand theatre adjoin-
ing the Merchants hotel addition was
erected by j. J. Gaffney at a cost
of $l5, 900 1t is as fine a motion
picture theatre as is found outside of
larger cities of the state. The Loe-
f1ers and Carney Meat Market next
to the Strand theatre was built last
year also, at cost of 5000. Like
the other buildings, it is brick, and
makes possible the modern meat mar
ket that Mr.. Loeffler and Mr.. CARNEY
established, and which would be q
credit to any city in the state.
The new home of the Stevens county
Telephone company, adjoining the
Merchants hotel on Sixth street,
completes the list of business struc-
lures of Morris, constructed during
the year. 1t is built of brick and cost
$4,000. All of these buildings were
constructed by F. A. Hancock of Nor.

Clean the Walks.

Just because the city runs snow
plow over the, sidewalks, thereby
making them somewhat passible for
pedestrians is no reason why tine good
citizen should not clean his walk so
that foot travel can be INDUCED in
with some degree of comfort. The
dry snow, which can now be so easily
removed, will become slippery ice and
frozen slush as soon as thawing days
come.

COUNTY, Anenl.

Due to the high price OF feed aud
the scarcity and high price OF labor
some few farmers Of the county are
considering disposing Of their dairy
herd. When one takes broader view
Of the situation, it would seem that
fhis is poor policy Not for years has
there been the scarcity Of dairy cattle
and the demand for dairy products as
thcre is at this time. Mr.. Hoover tells
us that Europe is 33,OO0OOO short Of
food animals and that even in the Uni
led States the production OF dairy cattle
oas not Kept pace with the increase
IN population. According TO the num-
Der of cows i'm the United Sloics in
1890 and the increase in population
since. we are about $4,000 dairy
cows short.
on the other hand The increase i'm
expectation OF dairy products is enor-
nous. According 10 Mr.. Hoover our
exports Of butter since the war have
Increased from about 100000 10 about
2lOOOOOO pounds. The expectation of
other dairy products has increased in
like proportion. The greatest increase
however. i'm any class Of dairy products
has been i'm condensed milk, which
has increased from sc1nt i1U0OW
pounds 90 2j9OOOOO0 i'm 1917 and still
on the increase. Furthermore Europe
knows well where she has exported her
best breeding stock and when the wal
clears up, she is going TO draw on
American dairy cattle by the thousand.
