Tone of Dances Will Be Raised

For some time the public dances
held at the armOry have not been
conducted in a manner to commend
themselves to parents and others in
teresting in the social and moral
well-being of the young people who
attended, the necessary regulation of
such gatherings having sIackened on
account of no one being definitely re-
sponsible for maintaining the proper
standards.
Recently the city commission gave
over the custody and control of the
armory to the Home Guards, and
Capt. P. L. Spooner has promulgated
a set of rules which will raise the
standard Of the public dances held
at the armory so that parents may
be assured of their being properly
conducted
The most important of these rules
provide that no spectators will be
admitted without paying admission,
and that no ladies will be admitted,
except 5 spectators, unless accom-
panied by an escort. Reckless and
extreme dancing is prohibited. 9th
er rules provide that single dance
tickets (bowery style) will not be
permitted except on special Occa-
sions, that spectators must remove
their hats and be seated, that no
smoking will be permitted on the
dance floor, and that all Of these
rules will be a part of every lease
contract
Every one in the city interested
in safeguarding the interests of the
young people will commend these
rules and their strict enforcement,
and will commend also the adoption
of similar rules by every other hall
in the city used for dance purposes.

CITY ELECTION SOON
BUT NOBODY CARES
Next Wednesday is the Last Day on
Which Nominations for Com
missioner Can Be Filed

The city election will be held on
November 6.
At that time two city commission
ers will be elected for period of
four years to succeed Mayor E. J.
Jones and Commissioner J. r. Krueg-
er whose terms expire in January.
Petitions for nomination are re-
quired by the city charter to be filed
not earlier than thirty days and not
later than twenty days before cleo
ton.
There have been no petitions filed
with the city manager.
This matter occurred to the editor
of the Tribune only late yesterday,
and we are unable to make any
further announcement except these
facts which we CLEAN from looking
up the charter.
From previous statements made by
Mayor Jones and Commissioner
Kruger, it is certain that they will
ask to be relieved and it is equally
certain that they will be asked to
continue in charge of city affairs.
For four years these men have de-
voted a great deal of time to city
affairs, and it is just that they ask
to be excused from further duty, but
it is not surprising that the citizens
should ask them to again serve. For
decade or more, the citizens of
Morris have demanded the wise and
economical expenditure of public
funds in permanent improvements,
and this policy has been consistently
followed by the different administra-
tions. For that reason, Norris has
gone ahead steadily with sewers,
waterworks, sidewalks, curbs, gut
ters, graded and gravelled streets
and this policy will be maintained
and plans now laid which cover
work for several years to come will
want to be carried out.
No one so far as we know, has
paid any attention to the election,
but between now and next Wednes-
day the citizens will have to decide
on whether they will excuse them
and nominate others. This item is
pGI lnIO type 50 very ldte IudL Lue
editor has no opportunity to consult
Messrs. Jones and Krueger, or to
determine whether any other names
have been suggested. The post of
commissioner is not an enviable one,
and it is not surprising that Messrs.
Jones and Krueger should ask to be
relieved, but it is also certain that
they have no right to refuse a prac-
tically unanimous demand that they
continue to serve.

SECOND CONTINGENT
DELAYED 30 DAYS
Local Board Receives Unofficial No
tice that Postpones Departure
of Next Increment

The second installment of drafted
men were supposed to have left for
the training camp on October s. This
date was later advanced to October
Is, and again to the 21st, and finally
sometime between the 21st and 25th.
Yesterday Secretary WolIthan re-
ceived an unofficial notice from an
official source that the second incre-
ment would not be needed for 80
days. The notice comes from Capt.
R. L. Henderson by direction of Gen
eral Rhinow and is as follows:-
Many local boards are inquiring
for information concerning the date
of entrainment for the next incre-
ment for Camp Dodge AS we in
formed you in letter of the other
day we have not as yet been able
to receive any information directly
from Washington covering this
point. However, it was the privi-
lege of this Office to see two tele-
grams on this point which were sent
between two very high officials of
the War Department
This letter is entirely unofficial
in it's capacity and it's purpose is
merely to inform you in an unoff1-
cial way that, Judging from the con-
tents of these two kilograms, the
date of the next entrainment to
Camp Dodge will not occur for at
least 80 days. However, not too
much weight must be placed on this
matter and the boards should do
pare their full quotas.
THE writer leaves for Washing
ton late this week to get final inter
pretatiOns of a number of rulings
which have caused considerable
trouble in this office. Immediately
upon return from Washington a gen
eral mimeographed letter will be
gotten out covering the information
received at Washington"
This delay of entrainment is work
ing considerable hardship to young
men who have arranged to be ready
to go according to schedule, but the
mobilization of Americas National
Army is such an enormous undertak-
ing that it is not surprising that de-
lays occur.
Word has been received that
Verlyn Green of Morris, who left
with the first contingent for Camp
Dodge, will be discharged on account
Of not passing the. physical examin-
alton.

REV. HENRY NOBBS IS

Methodist Conference Appoints Nor
ris Pastor to Renville Rev.

Rev. Henry Nobbs for the past
four years pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Morris, was ap-

NObbs' successor.
A letter received by the Tribune
from Mr.. Nobbs Tuesday announces
that he will be here to be in charge
of the Sunday services at the Meth
Odist church. Mr.. NObbs' letter
further states that there has been
a great movement among the preach
ers and to my great surprise my
name was read out last night for
Renville-in spite of any feeling
that I may have I must follow the
orders"

Send Christmas Mail Soon

Christmas packages for the SOL
diers, sailors or marines must be
mailed, according to a statement
made by Postmaster E. A. Purdy, of
the Minneapolis post Office, to the
Minneapolis Journal.
Parcels must be examined and
passed on by the postmaster as a
guard against prohibited articles for
the foreign mail, such as intoXicants,
poisons or friction matches.
Packages should be small, prefer
ably not to exceed 10 pounds as the
small packages will have preference
so as to reach as many as possible.
Each package should be packed
and wrapped to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster, as no
parcel will be dispatched to France
without the pOstmaster's certificate
that it contains no prohibited arti-
cles.
Parcels to reach foreign posts by
Christmas morning must be mailed
by November Is and the complete
address of sender must be written in
the left hand corner
Every package must bear the
words christmas Mali in some
conspicuous place.

I. w. w. Men Brought Here

Chokio Review.-Chokio had her
first experience with the I. w. w.
organization last Saturday when
two members of that notorious
league tried to put some of their dis
loyalty and unjust principles into
practice.
Two I. w. WIS were among the
employees of a gang Of workmen
south of town. They made some
trouble because the rest of the men
we're not asking for higher wages.
Becoming more bold they began talk
ing strongly against the Govern
ment. This ended in their arrest.
They were taken to Norris and told
to leave the county as soon as possi-
BILE. Neither of the two we're citi-
zens of the U. S. and said they never
would be, although one had been
here twelve years. One had $210 in
cash in his pockets and the other
$85. Both had pictures of Little,
the I. w. w. leader who was exc
cuted in the West Four more I. W.
WIS landed in Chokio but they soon
learned that it was for their inter
ests to move on.

Latest Market Letter

prepared by the Markets Divi-
sion of the State Food Committee for
the Public Safety Commission
The near approach of cold wealth
er has increased the rapidity with
which potatoes have been marketed.
However, the demand has not shown
a decided increase, although it has
been heavier during the closing days
of September. The uncertainty as
to what the governments action
would be on the storing of potatoes
has now been cleared up and from
this time onward there will be a
heavier call for stock for future use.
Prices to the growers have run from
65 to 80 cents per bushel during
the past week in various parts of
the state. The price has f1uctuated
according to the quality of the stock
and the competition shown on the

Largest Sum Ever Granted By Stew
ems County Court Exciting
Legal Battle
HAD SUED FOR 100000
Case Created State Wide Interest
Jury Undecided for Twelve
Hours

F. A. Mullen was awarded a YER
dict of $4,000 from J. H. Devenney
for the alienation of his wife's af-
fections by the district court Tues
day morning of this week after one
of the most exciting legal battles
ever Waged in a Stevens county
court room. The case continued for
exactly one week and involved prob
ably the largest sum ever considered
in this county by court. Mr.. Null
len originally asked for 100000.
The verdict was given by the five
siXths of the jury, the number that
is stipulated by law. The jury were
twelve hours and seven minutes ar
irving at a verdict.
The case attracted great
deal of attention, both locally
and state-wire. V. E. Mitchell,
of the Associated Press staff, COW
cred the story for the Twin
City dailies, and the court room was
crowded throughout the trial. The
principals in the case secured the
best legal talent available to pres
ent and defend their interests and
the legal battle between Judge T.
D. O'Brien Of st. Paul, and T. J.
Mangan, of Morris, attorneys for the
defendant and Ex-senator Purcell
and his partners Devet and Perkins
of WahpetOn, S. D., will not be for
gotten by those who heard them de-
bate a point of law. There was a
tense moment during the trial the
latter part of last week when Mrs.
Mullen was undergoing severe
cross examination tainted and came
near doing so the next day. {
The first three days was devoted
to the hearing of witnesses for the
plaintiff the next two days to the
consideration Of the testimony of
the witnesses for the defense and
Monday the counsels made their
pleas to the jury. 1t was one of the
longest trials ever tried in this coun-
ty. Judge c. S. Jelley of the Hen
nepin county court heard the trial,
at the request of Judge S. A. Flaher-
ty.
It is understood that the defend
ant J. H. Devenney will appeal the
case.

Preliminary Meeting of Township
Officers Held Last Saturday
Well Attended
ADDRESS BY F. B. SNYDER
Organization Meeting Last Evening
No Banquet in Order to Con-
serve Food

The big drive for the Second Lib
erty Loan will begin on Monday, and
arrangements have now all been
made to put Stevens county at or
near the head of the column so far
as response to this universal oppor-
tunity for service is concerned.
The canvassing for this second
issue will be made for the most part
by the township and village officers
and such other persons as they may
call to act with them on the COM
mittee. The complete list of the
county committee and the various
city, village and township commit
tees are printed in the ADVERTISE
ment on page of this issue.
A preliminary meeting was held
at the Commercial Club rooms last
Saturday afternoon, and was large
ly attended by township officers. F.
B. Snyder of Minneapolis, gave a
stirring address on the issues be-
tween the German government and
the American people and his search
ing analysis of those differences and
the necessity for united action in
financing the war and conserving
the resources of the country were
roundly applauded. Chairman Siv-
erts then explained various points
about the Second Liberty Loan and
answered various questions.
Because many had not received
the notice of that meeting and be-
cause supplies were to be given out
to committeeman, it was decided to
hold another meeting last evening.
There was some talk of having a
banquet, but Mr.. Foley made the
practical suggestion that the ban
quet be omitted and the food con-
served.
Tuesday afternoon the county
committee met and considered gen
eral plans for the campaign.
When the great army of volun-
teer statesmen takes the field Monday
to sell the Liberty Bonds, there will
be two slogans heard everywhere in
the Northwest.
"He also Fights who helps a
Fighter fight" and Buy Liberty
Bonds the Best investment in the
World" will everywhere be caption
lines
This means that emphasis is go
ing to be put on the patriotic duty
of all the people to buy and also on
the great fact that as a business
proposition, if for no other reason,
everyone, farmers, bankers, Iabortng
men, clerks, women, even children
should buy.
Sunday is Liberty Bond Day in the
churches and many stirring patri-
otto sermons will be preached.
Monday is the day the big sale be-
gins.

Will Keen Present Service

Browns Valley Tribune.--It has
been definitely learned that there
will be no change in the train serv-
ice on the Browns Valley branch,
for some time at least. The Rail
road and Warehouse commission is
satisfied that the general business
public does not desire a return to the
old schedule, and very wisely says
that the present service has not had
time to be given a thorough test
There will be no change, therefore
unless it comes as a war necessity
There are very good prospects for
having a sleeper set out at Morris
which would make an ideal service

The first frost recorded by VOlun-

October 8, when the mercury went
down to II degrees above zero. Since
then the weather has been chilly,

There was a frost about month
ago that struck in spots and frosted
the corn in some spots and left it in
others, but that frost was not severe
enough to be recorded as a killing

act or in other words, conscription in

iects resident in Canada will be called to
the colors From this number 25,000 phys
cally fit will be chosen and will be put in
training Nov. go while the remainder will
be allowed to return home as reserves to

In all the large cities Of the Dominion
medical boards have already been estab-
iished and are examining those who will
come lnder the conscript act OF those
who have been examined only "a per cent.
have been found to be unfit for service
of any kind and have been given their re-
lection papers. The Montreal medical
board is examining 200 men per day, while
in Toronto about $50 are being passed
upon and relative numbers in other cities
are being either accepted or rejected.
Negotiations are now going on between
the Canadian and United States govern
ment whereby slackers from one country
will be apprehended in the other II they
succeed in crossing the boundary line.
1t was generally believed, and very
firmly so in the United States. that most
of those who were liable for conscription
in Canada would try to evade being
forced into the army, but one glance at
the hundreds in front Of the medical ex-
amining boards quarters each day in

that idea
