Although the wintry winds may

University farm school from enjoying
their daily exercise of skating on the
new ice rink that has been arranged
for them by the school authorities
by f1ooding the tennis courts and
keeping the icy surface swept clean
every day. The girls and boys dorm
itories are only few steps away from

At that time be was nineteen years
of age. When he was picked up from
the car floor he thought he was on his
way home from Reno. In other
words the past eight years has been
blank to him. He knows no one he
has become acquainted with in the past
eight years. In fact, his life has
again commenced where it left off
when he was sandbgaged in Reno.
Just stop and think for Ole minute
the vexing problems this young man
has to contend with. He has sister
born within the past eight years,
whom he has seen every day, but
knows not. He stood up with his
brother when he was married, but
now will have to become acquainted
with his family again. He had a fine
position and can probably not fill it
as he knows nothing of the work.
He is now in perfect phy1ica and
mental condition and was sent to his

Stock Breeders Association to
Meet; Many New Courses
Offered to Farmers

The University farm school is maxi
ing many preparations this week for
the entertainment Of larger number
of farmers from Stevens county and
adjoining counties, than ever before
attended the annual agricultural short
course held for a week during every
winter at the University farm at
Morris. The increased attendance will
be justified, say the school authori-
ties, for never before has the Morris
school offered such diversified course
of instruction or have been anle to
obtain so many prominent speakers
and entertainers.
The first day will be 'Seed Day."
Prof. C. P. Bull, of the State Agri.
cultural college, at St. Faul, will be
the principal speaker of the day and
Prof. Miller, of the Morris school,
will be in charge of the session. How
to meet the exigencies of the seed sit-
uation will be the principal topic for
discussion during the day.
Saturday, the final meeting of the
short course, will be stock breeders
day. Among the prominent speakers
who will be here are: H. R. Smith,
First National Bank, st. Paul; w.
A. McKarrow, R. S. Mcintosh, Dean
A. F. Woods, F. j. Away, Andrew
Boss, Dan Gaumnitz of University
Farm, St. Paul and DIR. A. j. Ches-
ley, of the Minnesota Health Associa-
tion and w. I. Nolan, of Minneapolis.
The annual banquet and dance wilt
be given Friday night. 1t will be a
time when all who attended the short
course during the week will assemble
for final farewell and good time
before returning to their homes. 1t
is an event that retains many pleasant
memories throughout the year.
The feature of the courses of in
struction that will be offered this year
is the Laboratory instruction in gas
engines and automobiles. Advanced
courses will be given in the construc-
tion and operation of autos so that
any one who wished may give all his
attention during the week to these
subjects. The courses in gas engines
and autos will be so arranged to
make this plan possible. Prof. F.
R. Bass, of Dunwoody Institute, Min
neapolis will be in charge of the work.
Other courses which will be we'll
attended and are of great interest and
value to the many farmers who will
attend the short courses are beef pro-
duction, dairy products, farm struc-
lures, drainage, and hogs and sheep.

MORRIS WINS AND
LOSES IN DEBATE
Wins Unanimous Decision at
Benson, Loses FL Decision
Here; Other School Notes

The affirmative and negative de-
batting teams of the Morris and Ben
son high schools debated the question,
"ResOlved thai immigration into the
United States should be further re-
stricted Dy literacy test last Fri
day night here and at Benson and a
victory was scored in each case by
the negative team. Morris ranked
the highest in the two contests, how
ever, winning unanimous decision at
Benson and losing by .2-1 judges
decision here, obtaining four judges
decisions to two decisions for Benson.
The negative team that went to
Benson was composed of Miss Amanda
Dolven, Miss Margaret Burpee and
Roy jacobson. They debated against
Miss Anna Holland, Miss Ruth Hagan
and Cassius Van SIyke, from Ben
son. The judges of the debate were
Supt. G. A. Foster, of WiIlmar, Supt.
O. H. Oden, of Hancock and Attor-
ney T. O. Gilbert. of Willmar.
Miss Florence Ringness, Miss
Dorothy Geenty and Robert Kruger
were the affirmative team that de-
bated Roderick Klucas, Howard Bow
ers and Miss CLARA Landmark from
Benson. The opinion of the judges
in the Morris debate seemed to be
that Morris was superior in rebuttal
and by adding up the decision of the
JUICES on rebuttal and main argument
the Morris team led by two thirds of
one per cent. The judges for the
Morris debate were Supt. Anderson,
of Herman, Prof. Tr0dge, of Glen
wood and Mr.. Arlington of Glen
wood.
Before the debate a basket ball
game was played between the Browns
Valley High School team and the Uni
versity farm school team. The contest
was an easy victory for the Browns
Valley quintet. The score of the
game was % to ID. The game was
played in rather disultory spirit and
there were no outstanding features.
After the events of the evening a
reception was given in the gymnasium
in honor of the Benson debating team,
and the Browns Valley and Univers-
ity farm school basket ball teams.

the largest enrolment in the history
of the institution and is in keeping
with the increased facilities this year
from the new engineering building
and the added number of advanced
and laboratory courses. Most of the
new students are young men and for
the first time the boys at the school
are in the great majority. There are a
number of causes for the large enroll
ment, say the farm school authorities.
The principal reason is the boosting
of the alumni and the influence of the
students who were here last session
had when they were home Christmas.
The vigorous campaign that Supt.
Higbie and the faculty of the institu
tion have been pushing for the past
few months is also responsible.
The counties that are leading in
the enrolment of the school are Pope.

interscholastic debate with the agri-
cultural school at Crookston are being

THRIFT DAY FEB. 3
APROPOS H. c. OF L.
Thrift is all Matter Of Mind;
A Day For Careful Self
Analysis

This matter of becoming thrifty is
just like getting up in the morning
especially these cold winter mornings.
How comfortable and warm the bed
is; and the thought of getting out on
that cold floor sends a chill up the
spine! Isn't it so naturally human
to just lie there until the very last
moment, all the while conscious that
time is swiftly passing. Those few
moments prove mighty costly ones
and not worth the price. for there is
always mighty rush and hustle to
make up TOR them.
However, and finally, reason and
will power go to work and instantly
we bounce out and get very busy.
And after that dash of cold water and
blink at the sun-who wants to 60
back to bed!
Getting straight out of bel, with
out turning over for another nap. can
not possibly do any harm, physically
or otherwise; and psychologists say
that it is decidedly better.
Becoming thrifty cutting down
over-indulgence-is just like that.
In all phases of life. there are ever
many things palatable and pleasing to
the indulgent side of our natures,
which, in reality, are not only not
necessary to life, but are actually
detrimental.
We realize all this, admit it, and
make up our minds to do better. But,
when the actual moment arrives for
putting resolutions into practical
shape, it is so easy to be indulgent
and "just turn over and take another
nap"
There is a distinct difference be-
tween accepting certain truth and
acting upon it. 1t is doubtful If the
wise Creator will give any credit for
simple recognition of right where the
performance of the act itself was left
undone. Of course, some time or an
other, we aim to take care of these
things, but in not doing them we are
simply procrastinating.
To act, at once-Now-does require

R. M. ADAMS HEADS
COMMERCIAL CLUB
c. C. Holds Yearly Election Fri
day Night; Annual Party
and Dance Feb. 9

R. M. Adams was elected president
of the Morris Commercial Club for
year 1917 at the annual meeting
held Friday night in the club rooms
of the association. He succeeds F.
A. Hancock, the president of the as
sociation for the past year. The
other officers elected are: N. Vinje,
vice-president, William Frame, secre-
tary and W. F. Cooley, Sr., trea-
surer. C. A. Dushek, J. H. 9even-
ney, S. A. Siverts, Sr., C. L. Voss
and Harry Eames were elected as
board of directors for the organization
for the coming year.
1t was decided at the meeting Fri
day night to give the annual CONNER
ciaI club open house entertainment
and dance at the armory February 9.
F. A. Hancock, C. A. Du HEX and N
Vinje were appointed the committee
of arrangements for the event.
While the committee has made no
definite arrangements at the present
time it is expected the annual party
will be along the same lines that has
made the occasion so popular every
year. The early part of the evening
is usually devoted to card playing and
musical selections by an orchestra and
afterward there is a we'll chosen pro-
gram of vocal and instrumental selec-
tions. After the musical program
there is a short dance. refreshments
about midnight and more dancing af-
terward.
This annual social gathering is al
ways the most democratic event of
the year-a time when all Morris
gathers together and rub elbows in
the sort of good fellowship and cheer.
There is no special invitations sent
out, but there is general invitation
extended to everyone to come and
"make yourself at home"
A resolution was proposed at the
meeting to admit boys of Morris from
18 to 21 years, who are not attending
school, into membership Of the Com,
mercial Club. The resolution will be
acted upon at the next meeting of the
association.
Plans for increasing the member
ship of the club were discussed at
the meeting and a committee will
be appointed soon to canvass the
city for new members.
The club members voted to have the
new president appoint committee to
represent the Commercial Club at
the formal opening of the teachers

LOST EIGHT YEARS
FROM HARD BLOW
Brakeman Sandb agged and
Mind is Blank for Events of
Past Eight Years

To receive blow on the head that
robbed him of eight years of his life
was the terrible experience undergone
by an Estherville young man.
The following is what the Esther
Vile Iowa Enterprise has to say about
it.
On last Tuesday evening Lewis P.
Rodenborn, who for the past five years
has been baggage man and express
agent on the M. & Sc L. between
here and Fort Dodge, met With some
kind of an accident on the car while
the train was between RUthven and
Spencer. From the condition he was
found in everything would indicate he
had met foul play at the hands of
someone who probably intended to rob
the car. When the brakeman entered
the car Mr.. ROdenborn was lying on
the floor with heavy piece of hose
across him. On his head was bump
and a slight blood stain was on his
hair. The brakeman lifted him up
and Mr.. Rodenborn asked where the
rest of the boys were. He also asked
other questions that would indicate to
the brakeman and the reat of the
crew who had been called that he
was out of his head. He knew none
of the men with whom he had been
working for the past five >and one
half years; unless it was someone he
bad known for more than eight years.
The reason for this was from the act
that eight years ago he was sand

CRONEMEYER STORE ROBBED.

F. Vernon Barber, deputy sheriff of Apache county, was in Holbrook We'd nesday with two Indians whom he had arrested Tuesday upon the charge of being implicated in the robbery of the Cronemeyer store at Allentown few days previously.
 This store was the scene two years ago of the killing of Curt Cronemeyer and "Red" Mcdonald. Since that time the store has been in charge of the executor of the Cronemeyer es- tate. The robbery took place in the absence on an errand of the watchman employed by the estate.
 When the two Indians were arrest ed two days after the robbery they had in their possession $75 in curren- cy, several robes and buckskin hides. Deputy Sheriff Barber took his pris- oners to St. Johns Wednesday eve ning.--Holbrook News.

Ne,os of Interest Gathered Here and There m the State
FIRST ARIZONA MAY
 SOON BE IN ACTION

That the early departure of the 15Sth Infantry from Camp Kearney, Cal, to a new station is anticipated, is the conclusion drawn from the tenor of letters now being received in this and other sections of the coun- ty by relatives of the soldiers at that cantonment.
 Significance is also attached to the early transfer of this regiment by many relatives leaving during the past week, and although no military orders have as yet been promulgated, it is reported, however, that before the first of the year will see this Arizona command enroute for a for eign station. The parents of one youth on leaving Prescott on Thurs day afternoon stated they were call ed to the garrison by their son to say farewell, and to carry to the old home in Italy remembrance of those who were in this country, in anticipation of the bearer of the tidings sooner or later being on the home soil of his father and mother.
