native potato just at this time. Wash
and dry the potatoes, place them in a
hole in bank of ashes, cover, and
then place a shovelfu of fine Goals

done. serve with butter.
Fried Sweet Potatoes.-Peel and

each slice place a gOod-sized piece of

is nearly full, fill the spaces with wa

BIG RALLIES PLANNED AT
HANCOCK AND WHEATON
Wheaton on Saturday Night and
Hancock Monday Night. Morris
Citizens Invited

Two long distance calls received
by the Tribune at the same moment
yesterday requested us to announce
a big patriotic rally at Wheaton on
Saturday night and at Hancock on
Monday night.
Hancock has planned for a parade
at seven o'clock followed by an ad-
dress by Morris speaker and prob
ably some others. Morris citizens
are especially invited to drive down
by auto and help make it a rouser.
Hancock never does anything by
halves, and the meeting is sure to
be good one.
At Wheaton still more elaborate
preparations are being made and
the plan will be to form an organiza-
ton which will cover the county,
promote enlistments, look after the
relatives of those who enlist, take a
survey of the productive powers of
the county and see that everything
is done to promote production, and
in every way organize the county for
most vigorous action. Traverse
county expects to set the pace for all
the counties of the state, and is in
vitfng the people from surrounding
counties to attend their meeting
Saturday. Two hundred are wanted
from Morris.

age of cereals and live stock. The
supply of wheat is lower at the pres
ent time than it has been for forty
years. This same condition is true
of our livestock supply.
Recognizing the fact that a ma
tion's strength in war time is in di-
rect proportion to her ability to feed
pie, it means that the American
farmer has tremendous duty to per-
form. The northwest farmer is con-
fronted with serious handicaps at the
outset. The seed supply this spring
has been very short and of poor quail

this condition will become more
acute. To perform a real service to
the nation, each and every farmer
should make every effort to see that
every acre is seeded to productive
crops, and that our land is farmed
in the best possible manner. In 9th
er words, that we do everything in
our power to increase production.
This year the Morris Station will
devote every available acre to the
production of staple crops and pure
seed for distribution another year.
All breeding stock will be retained,
with view to securing the largest
maximum production. The station
offers it's services to the farmers of
Stevens county and Western Mime
sofa at any time when they can be
of assistance in the solution of farm

FARMERS BIG TASK IS
PRODUCTION OF FOOD
Farm School Stands Ready to Assist
the Farmers in Building up Ma
tons Strength

The local Farm School received
instructions this week from Dean A
F. Woods relative to the present ag-
ricultural situation, which empha-
sizes the all important part that the
farmers of the northwest must pay in
the successful solution of our present
international difficulties. A nation
wide movement is in the process of
development looking towards the mo-
bilization of the food production fac
ilities of the nation.
The progress of the war has dem
Onstrated that the nation who will
eventually triumph will be the one
who can sufficiently nourish her peo-
pie. The United States has furnished
vast quantities of food stuffs during
the past two years to the nations of
Europe. Last year the Northwest
experienced one of the shortest crops
in the history of the country. This
same condition was to large extent
true all over the country. This, to-
gether with our heavy exports, has
resulted in a nation wide short

Rev. Stever Granted Vacation

At meeting of the Board of Trus-

on Saturday, Rev. F. A. Stever was
granted a vacation and will study at
Chicago University this summer. In
accordance with the unanimous vote
of the congregation at a meeting
held on March 21, the Board of Trus-
tees passed the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved: That in appreciation
of the splendid work done by Rev. F.

tion of his congregation the Board
of Trustees hereby grant him a
leave of absence on full pay during
the months of June, July and August

Tripp and Reilly Enlist

Ed. Reilly, who has been working
as a printers apprentice at The
Tribune office after school hours for
several months past, left last week
for the cities and word comes now
that he has enlisted for service in
the First Minnesota.
The first of the week also, Walter
Tripp left for Fort Smelling and will
also enlist, and on account of his
exceptional mechanical ability and
knowledge of automobile operation,
he will probobly look for special ser
vice along that line.
The enlistment of these two young
men raises the quota from Morris
to Fl men, and if every other places
in the United States responded in the
same proportion, Uncle Sam would
now have an army of million men
