This Year, Elevated To Be In
stalled: Will Prevent Hy-
drants Freezing

Two new sprinking stations with
elevated standards were ordered for
the city at the meeting of the city

that they wear out and are liable to
leak and then freeze in cold weather.

which latter will be used mainly for
protective purposes.

meeting was held Thursday night in
stead of on Tuesday which is the
regular weekly meeting night of the
commissioners. There was no other

FIRST DRY YEAR
HAS FEW ARRESTS
Past Year Only 81 Detained in
County Jail for 129 Days;
48 in 1915.

The number of arrests made in any
community, varies inversely with
"the degree of wetness or dryness of
that community" is the explanation
Sheriff Frank Zahl gave yesterday for
the small number of persons, who
were detained last year in the county
Jail. Last year, the first dry year in
Stevens county; show the fewest num-
ber of persons, who were "sent up to
Sheriff Zahl's reception parlors on the
hill' for many years.
There were 81 persons detained in
the county Jail in 1916 and in 1915,
the last wet year, there was 48. The
total number of days spent by "the
forcibly detained visitors" last year,
was 129 days. The wear before,
the total number of days sentence
was 565. 1t cost more than four
times as much to fed the visitors
in 1915 than it did in 1916. Last year
the board figures, at sixty cents per
day, amounted to ST.. 40. In 1915
the board bill, at the same rate per
day, was 1899.
Blindpigging and drunkenness sent
10 men to Jail last year. There were
two held for forgery, two on gambling
charge, one on a charge of grand
larceny, one for petit larceny and
one for an alleged stealing of mort
gage. The remainder of the cases
we're vagrancy detentions or for minor
offences.
Two of the number for last year
were women. Neither of the women.
however, were guilty of any violation
of any law and were only held for a
few hours in connection with other
cases.
"Business at the county Jail is
mighty dull until July and August
the best bootlegging MONTHS said
Sheriff Zahl. Last year, more than
one half of the sheriff's company
arrived in July. There was delega-
tion Of fourgfronn Chokio who arrived
in one day. The Chokio quartet were
held on charge of selling liqour with
out license.
Mr.. Zahl does not anticipate many
visitors during the present year.
"There may be a few boys in to see
me next summer. but I might as we'll
unlock the steel grated doors to cells
and not look for any one before the
Fourth of July. There is nearly al
ways someone in to see me about the
Fourth of July every year. They
used to come in big numbers, few
years ago, when the saloons were in
the county," -.

MEETING TO STUDY
FARM LOAN PLANS
Called for Saturday, January II
at Morris, to Form Associ-
alton

AS the editor of the oldest paper in
Stevens County, the editor of The
Morris Tribune has been asked by the
American Farm Finance League to
call public mass meeting at Morris
at l o'clock p. m. on Saturday, Jan
uary 27, for the purpose of consi der
ing the Federal Farm Loan Act.
At such time and place, the people
are urged to take such action as their
wisdom may approve whereby both
wouId-be borrowers and would-be in
vestors may be enabled to enjoy the
fullest advantages of the new system.
The meeting is also invited to form a
County branch of the American Farm
Finance League.
The United States land bank for this
district, comprising Minnesota, North
Dakota, Wisconsin and Michigan, will
be located in St. Paul. 1t may be
open for business in April or earlier.
1t does not lend money, but the
Farm Finance Leauge explains it's
business as follows -
The farmer who wants to borrow
for five to 40 years time, at reason
able interest and easy terms of repay
ment, joins (or forms with nine or
more other farmers) national farm
loan association, with which he does
all his business. When this local
makes a loan, it cashes the mortgage
note at its land bank. Against such
security the land bank issues bonds,
the sale of which furnishes more
money to loan. The borrowers repay
principal by small installments or
more, and the bonds are gradually paid
off from such proceeds. Already over
$4,000 farmers have applied for loans
aggregating $3.50, O,OOO,OOO but the
total sum available for loans from the
capital of the IL land banks will be
less than 100000. The balance
can be obtained to lend only from
sale of federal, farm loan bonds.
The bonds will yield a fair rate
of interest, are tax free and should
prove a most desirable investment.
Being in denominations from $25 up.
every person, even children, may carr
and save until by owning bond they
have at least that much stake in the
land. For larger investors, institu-
tions and trustees, federal farm loan
bonds may be ideal. Only as bonds
are sold, will there be money to lend,
after the $75O,OOO capital of each
land bank is loaned out. Free buying
of bonds by local public, free lending
by the system; no sale of bonds, nc
loans. Land bank shares ought to be
a good investment also

sion of Next Three Months

The study class of the Mems Club
of the Congregational Church at it's
meeting last Sunday morning chose

the consideration of all men and espe-
cially the business men of Morris, as
it promises to become not only instruc-
tive, but very interesting under the
direction of the class leaders, Pro-
fessors E. C. Higbie and Chas Simonds.

gational Church parlors. A cordial
invitation is extended for all men in
