Morris Commercial Club Invites
Farmers Clubs, Commercial Clubs
and Supervisors Tomorrow
LOANS TO INCREASE CROP
Morris Business Men Subscribe Guar
antee Fund to Support Credit
for Seed

At a meeting of the Morris Com
mercial Club on Tuesday afternoon,
preliminary steps were taken to form
a Loyalty League for Stevens county.
Also action was taken by the bust
ness men to support the credit OF
farmers contiguous to Norris in the
purchase of seed and feed in order
to increase as much as possible the
production Of food.
The meeting was very we'll at
tended. and many suggestions were
offered as to how Loyalty League
could be useful-in increasing the
production of food, in encouraging
and advising enlistments, in prOmOt-
ing gardens, in helping the Red Cross
and in assisting in the formation OF
a Home Guard Company.
But since an organization Of this
kind should be countrywide, it was
decided to ask in representatives
from all parts of the county before
completing the organization, and to
that end a committee was appointed
to meet with representatives from
the farm clubs, the town supervisors
and the other commercial clubs on
Saturday afternoon TO make further
arrangements. This committee con-
sists of Pres. Adams, H. H. Wells,
E. J. Jones, n. Vinje, J. H. Devenney
and P. E. Miller.
Since the League will be organ
lied too late to do any effective work
in assisting the planting of crops, it
was decided that action be taken at
once in supporting the credit Of any
farmer contiguous to Morris who is
in need of seed or feed, in order that
every possible acre may be made to
produce something. 1t was decided
that all loans should be handled
thru the local banks, and that every
worthy applicant for money to buy
seed or feed be taken care of, and If
security cannot be furnished, then
the banks will be protected by the
guarantee fund. A large number of
business men came forward at once
and extended their credit in various
amounts, and since then the fund has
been greatly increased, and should
now be ample to provide every
worthy applicant with the necessary
means for cultivating every possible
acre. Any farmer wishing to avail
himself Of this assistance should ap-
ply at either of the local banks.
W. F. Cooley, F. R. Putnam, S. A.
Siverts and F. E. Ware are the COM
mittee to pass on all applications.
Much interest also was SHOWN in
forming here a company of the Home
Guards, which will be organized un-
der the authority of the Public Safe
ty Commission. A committee con-
sisting of c. L. Voss, P. L. Spooner,
F. A. Stever, J. G. Morrison and S.
J. Ryan was appointed to Investigate
and report.

the Minnesota College of Agriculture,
in order to serve their country, and
$50 of these have registered at a
labor agency at University farm.
! The employment of one or more of
these boys through the season by a
farmer will help to solve the entire
seasons labor problem. The rates
that such young men will accept will
offset the usual high prices of tran
sient labor for such periods Addi-
tiOnal labor may be secured later
through local committees which w.
F. Houk, state labor commissioner,
Old Capitol, st. Paul, is organizing
in every community.
To prepare young men to meet
the special needs of the present crop
season, the Minnesota College of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with the food
production committee, is offering al
so intensive courses which will give
to young men the training needed to
serve as extension field assistants for
county agents and others in similar
positions, as organizers of school and
community gardens and as traction
engineers.
The new public safety commission
just appointed by Governor J. A. A.
Burnquist, has elected G. H. March
of Litchfield, agricultural director,
and through him the commission will
support the work of the food pro-
ductiOn committee.

London, Feb. 1.-The declaration of
Germany for unrestricted naval war
fare has created profound sensation
in England. where it was unexpected.
All interest centers on the policy
which neutrals maritime nations will
adopt.
The decision of the United States is
awaited with the most intense inter
est, as it is recognized it will have a
strong influence on other neutrals and
be the most important factor in the
solution of one Of the most serious
crisis of the war. .r
Officials declined to discuss the
question formally.
1t is pointed out that inasmuch as
the note is addressed to neutrals and
not to the British government, it is
essentially for them to deal with.

London. The British forces in Bel.

successfully warded off German coun-
ter attacksc in the region of COST Ira

More than 6,40O prisoners, among

Of the British attack was 5000 yards.

Scott never mentions a schoolgirl.
Imagine Thomas Hardy fashiOning a
schoolgirl out of Wessex clay, or
George Meredith venturing to describe
Diana of the Crossways In those early
years. Arnold Bennett would have
created little miniature old wife, as
Van Eyck and Memling paint babies
like miniature old men. HI. G.. Wells
would depict her as incipient tempta-
ton to lead Mr.. Britling, for instance,
into one Of dozen romantic adven-
lures. Galsworthy would try to fit her
into an ethical system, into niche
of social justice or matrimonial ven
lures. Mr. Howells, one may imagine,
might have essayed the task but he
would have tried to meet the difficulty
of getting the right values--as a paint
err dabs blues on yellows to make q
green--by adding to a primness, remi-
niscent of the Vicar of Wokeheld, O

The japanese people are satisfied
with the result of the election of April
90 but agitation regarding expense at
tending canvass for seat In parlia-
ment is renewed. The same argument
is heard as those after the last gen.
eral election, according to East and
West. The Chugai Shogyo estimates
the cost Of 600 candidates at not less
than $2,640,000! This is more than
representatives in the United States
expend, but senator's have been known
to pay half million for seats in that
body. The Chugai says the govern
ment spent 100000 for supervising
the election, which, to Americans, will
appear moderate. This sum includes
stamping trips" through the country
by cabinet ministers; members Of the
opposition paid their own expenses.

Paris.--A large American transport
containing wheat for American troops,
which are to come later, has crossed
the Atlantic under the protection of
an American warship. The transport
is now being unloaded at French
port.
Preparations are being made for the
reception of American troops. A num-

British army have been organized.
Camps have been laid out for infan-
try and artillery and aviation parks
have been established for American
aviators. None Of the American off,
GERS are bringing their families.
The arrival of the transport means
that the provisioning of the army Is
we'll under way before the arrival of
the troops and that the American
forces will make no call on the French
stock of food.
The ministry Of marine announces
that American warships have anchor
ed off the French coast.
The announcement adds:
