Licensed Embalmers Called

J. A. Ringness has received from
Secretary of War Baker a copy of a
circular letter which is being sent
to embalmers thruout the United
States. The letter reads as follows:
THAT our heroes who die in Eur
ope are not to be buried in heaps as
the Europeans do, but their bodies
are to be permanently embalmed and
returned after the war to their fam
lilies, or, if preferred to a national
cemetery in the U. S. The leading
licensed embalmers of the county
are urged to enlist in the officers
training department for the rank of
'Mortuary Specialist 1t is now pos
sible by the improved methods to re-
tain the natural form and appear
ance for many years if necessary.
This action of the department
will unquestionably be enthusiast
cally endorsed by the families and
friends of every soldier at the front,
since it now will be possible to re-
turn to their homes, in a sanitary
and recognizable condition, the
bodies of those of our nations heroes
whose lives may be sacrificed on the
altar of freedom"
Mr.. Ringness has written for de-
tails in regard to the manner Of en-
listment, and it is his intention to
answer the call if his services are
desired.

LOCAL TALENT GIVES SHOW
Concluded from page II


L. D. Trip, Mrs. Paul Spooner, Mrs
w. E. Frame, Leon Gibson, J. B. Lind,
Robert McInnis and Harvey Epstein.
The audience was entertained be-
tween acts by solos by Mrs. G. B.
Sylvander and songs by a quartet
composed of Messrs. Hope, Meyers,
Kreiss and Voss; also the special ad-
ded attraction, between the second
and third acts, nature dances and
Russian peasant dance by Miss Flor
ence Danielson.
Mr.. P. L. Spooner: when inter
viewed as to the success of the play
from a financial standpoint, said:
81 am authorized by Mrs. L. D.
| Trip, Chairman of the Social Bene-
fit Committee of the Red Cross Chap
ter, to say that the Committee is
very much gratified at the generous
support which the people of Morris
and the vicinity gave to the presenta-
| ton Of "The Broken Rosary" In
view of the many demands recently
made upon the people in the name Of
| IlIC 4GCu C1O0O, II1C p1OSCCuO VI IuC
play were very satisfactory. The net
returns to the Stevens County Chap
ter will be approximately $4,000.
II am glad to take advantage of
this opportunity to correct an i'm
preston that has gained credence
among the people of Morris and
| which, l am advised, to some extent
hurt the sale of tickets for the play.
Mr.. ellison who directed The Broken
Rosary and himself played a lead
ing part, is a fine gentleman and is
sincerely interested in helping the
Red Cross by his work. Consequent
ly I feel that those who have parti-
cipated in the circulation of the story
that he demanded or was to receive
siXty-fve per cent of the proceeds of
the play not only helped to keep
down the proceeds of the play and
the returns to the Red Cross Chapter,
but also have done Mr.. ellison an in
| justice. Mr.. Gibson worked on a
percentage basis with the under
standing that when his percentage
reached $4,000 he should cease to
share in the proceeds. Accordingly
he received $4,000, and no more, and
out of that amount he had to pay
his own expenses during his stay in
Morris. AS further proof of Mr..
Gilson's desire to do the right thing,
I have only to say that he has offered
to return to Norris at any time with
should be decided to present the play
again at some neighboring town, and
to help put on the play without any
additional compensation, excepting
only his actual expenses"

A Word of Appreciation

I desire to express to the people of
Morris and vicinity my appreciation
for their generous response in at
tending the ball game and sports at
the fair grounds and the dance at
the armory on July 4th. Thru this
generous support I have been en-
abled to meet all the expenses con-
nected with the celebration and to
pay off a deficit of $40 for the ball
team.

RED CROSS SEEKS YOUR AID

so that no one is receiving anything
therefor.
In addition to the membership
campaign a campaign for addi-
tional funds will be inaugur-
ated, and it is hoped that
every farmer in the vicinity will join
with the people of Norris in doing
their bit for the Red Cross. In order
that the farmer who may not, just
at this season of the year, be pos
sessed with ready cash, the Washing
ton county plan will very likely be
adopted. This plan provides for the
farmers to give their support by
pledging the proceeds from an acre
or more of wheat, corn, or other
crops, or COW, sheep, hogs, or poul-
try, to be converted into cash some
time before November first. In order
that the very largest amount of pro-
ceeds may be derived from the sale
of these farm products, tentative
plans are being made for a day in
the latter part of October to be de-
signated as Market Day at which
time provision will be made for the
receipt, care and purchase of the
farm products at most advantageous
terms possible for the farmer.
Among the many objects of char
ity to which it is our duty to sup
port, none stand out more prOmin-
emily or come so close home to us as
the Red Cross. The young men of
our nation are freely responding to
our country's call. They are offer
ing their lives, their all, that the
benefits Of a free government, For
the people and by the people" may
continue to exist and broaden. If
we, who stay at home, do our part we
must support the Red Cross for the
Red Cross is the real connecting link
between home folks and the boys at
the front who are fighting for the
protection of home. 1t is only in
this way that we can reach the SOL
dier boys and extend to them a pOr-
ton of the care and attention we
would provide for them if they were
in our midst. The First Minnesota,
to which regiment the most of the
Stevens county boys belong, will very
likely be transferred from Fort Smell
ing to one of the southern training
camps as early as the first of August,
and soon thereafter be called to the
front in France. If we are unable
to accompany the boys in person to
the scene of this most horrible war,
we are going to join them thru the
Red Cross and thus support them to
the utmost of our ability.

Putnam and Eames for Board

In compliance with the new law
which was published in The Tribune
a couple Of weeks ago nominations
for the school board must be filed
with the clerk twelve days in advance
of the election. The election comes
the third Saturday in July, and
therefore Monday was the last day
for filing. The board members whose
terms expire are F. r. Putnam and
G.. w. Beise. Mr.. Putnam has de-
cided to continue his valued services
to the district, if so desired by the
voters, but Mr.. Beise declined to
serve again, tho strongly urged to
do so by various friends of the
schools on account of the intelligent
service he has given to the district.
When Mr.. Beise's refusal was
found to be final, petition was cir
culated nominating H. o. Eames for
the place, and the petition filed.
Mr.. Eames has always been inter-
ested in the progress of the schools,
and no doubt his name will receive
favorable consideration from the
voters at the annual meeting next
week Saturday.
