Freight Cars Jump Track

Two train wrecks in one week is a
record for any town to boast of.
There was nothing left for the Great
Northern Railway to do after the
N. P. smash up Friday, March 16,
but to have some kind of wreck. Ac-
cordingly three box cars of an early
morning freight train last Saturday
Jumped the track in the Great North
ern yards near Seventh street and
closed the main line from 5 a. m. to
II a. m. 1t was all because of a
cross rail that split while the train
was passing over it. The train was
going at slow speed and there was
little if any damage done to the
freight cars. A wrecking outfit from
Willmar arrived at $50 and at II
the main line was open. The side
tracks permitted all trains to run on
the regular schedule and there was
no confusion occasioned by the
accident.

Junior Week at A. c. School

The University farm school will be
hosts to the farmer boys and girls of
Stevens county and vicinity next
week. There will be as great a var
iety of entertainment and instruc-
ton for the boys and girls as was
offered a few weeks ago at the Farm
ers' Short Course. The classes will
commence Monday and will continue
all week.
The course is open to all boys and
girls under twenty-one years of age.
There will be large number of spe-
ciaI courses offered to the young peO-
pie and the courses in sewing and
domestic science for the girls and
the courses in grain Judging, farm
machinery and animal husbandry
will be perhaps the most attractive
courses for the boys. There were
more than 40 boys and girls at the
short course last year but a larger
number is expected this year.

John Eul has no peer in Morris as
a window decorator and while he is
pleased to know that nearly every
passer by stops to look at his window
display at the Walz store he realized
Saturday that it is possible for
people, especially mischievous young
sters,' to pay too much attention to
the show window. John was arrang-
ing an attractive display of garden
seeds, flowers and garden tools, and
had the packages of seeds placed pyr-
amid fashion against the big plate
glass window. Six or eight young
sters had a lot of fun pounding on
the glass and tumbling the we'll ar
ranged pyramid, but it was lot of
trouble for John.

Red Cross Notes

A Red Cross Drive. Why not? The
drive has already begun in Somerset
County but the week set aside for this
work begins on Dec. 18th. During
this time and the days proceeding an
effort will be made to increase the
membership of Somerset County Red
Cross to 1900 members. 1t means
quite a lot of work on the part of in
terested workers, but the feat can be
accomplished with cooperation on
the part of everyone. At present the
organization has 1900 members. A
pretty small number when one takes
into consideration the wonderful work
being done by this organization. Think
of the lads from Skowhegan whose
needs are already being attended to
by the Red Cross. Sweaters to keep
their bodies warm and cheering gifts
OF various kinds to make them feel
that the people back here really care.
Isn't 1t possible to create such an or
ganizaton in this county with mem
bership Of 10000 1t would be easy
If the people of Somerset would wake
up to the fact that our country Is at
war; that our boys are over there
and that the Red Cross is their guard
ian angel Get in on the drive. You
who are already members. get out and
seek for another member, tell them
of the Red Cross, what it means to
them and what 1t means to you
