superintendency of the West Central
School of Agriculture, and as soon
as this term is completed will leave
for Chicago and Columbia Universi-
ties where he will spend two years
studying for a Doctors degree in
agricultural education.
The announcement will come as a
surprise to Mr.. Hibgie's friends and
the friends of the school, who had
hoped that he might be induced to re
main here for many years building up
the local institution to a still larger
place in the agricultural and educa-
tional life of West Central Minnesota. !.

LYCEUM COURSE IS ;
CHOSEN FOR 1917
High School Lecture Numbers
Will Be Given at One of
Down Town Theatres

The High School Lvceum course for
next year was chosen Tuesday when a
committee composed of Rev. F. A.
Stever, Rev. J. Thornell. F. A. Han
cock, Supt. Simonds, S. Stewart, S.
A. Siverts, Jr., F. R. Putnam,
George Beise, C. B. Sylvander. C. A.
Dushek, DR.. G. W. Geenty, and
Mrs. W. C. Light met at the Morris
National Bank and selected a more
expensive and better course than ever
before. Four numbers were chosen by
the committee. The lyceum numbers
next year are to be presented in one
of the theatres instead of the high
school auditorium as has been done in
the past.
The principal number of the course
will be the Kafir Boys Choir and
which will be the first on the program.
The other numbers are: The Shubert
Sextette, standard plays by the Ly-
ceum players and a lecture by Mr..
Wiggam.

of the state. On account of the
enthusiasm and originality that he has
put into his work here, he has come
to be recognized as one of the leaders
of agricultural education in the Mid
die West, and 1t is because there is so
much pioneer work yet to be done in
this field that Mr.. Higbie has decided
to devote two years to postgraduate
study of his chosen line of work, thus
fitting himself for a Doctors degree
and for some still larger field of USE
fulness.
When this school year is completed
Supt. and Mrs. Higbie will leave i'm
mediately for Chicago. That they
will take with them the very best
wishes of their many friends goes
without saying, with the further as
surance of grateful remembrance
for his work here and the expecta-
tion that the future holds bright pro-
spects.
The choice of Supt. Higbie's sue
cessor has not yet been announced.

MORRIS MAY HAVE.
WHITE WAY" SOON
Commercial Club and Civic
League Urge Measure Be-
fore City Commissioners

''The White Way" bee began to
buzz for the first time in four years
last Friday afternoon when the Wo.
mems Civic League met with the
board Of directors of the Commercial
Club and asked the latter organiza-
tion to assist them in procuring
white way in Morris. The board Of
directors at this time decided to act
as q committee and appear before the
city commissioners Tuesday night.
The commissioners are individually
heartily in favor of such an improve
ment for the city, but will require
they say a petition from fifty per
cent of the property owners of the
property adjoining the streets which
will be included in the "white way"
The Commercial Club expects to start
the petition soon. The commission
ers suggested that the officials Of
the Otter Tail Power Co. be
consulted to ascertain the probable
difference in expense in lighting
charge with the clusters that wonId
be used aud the expense at the
present time. The plan proposed
four or five years ago will probably
be followed for the lighting of the
streets. and wouli extend from the
Great Northern Depot to the Exchange
hotel on Atlantic aVeDne and to the

serviceable rugs and attractive pic
lures, penannts, posters and curtains

a distictively "homey" appearance.
When the season is propitious for
hunting or target or trap shooting
the boys plan to build a rifle range
near Morris and arrange for trap
shooting. The members have stacked
enough guns in the room until quart
ers now looks like an arsenal.

Siren Fire Whistle Installed

The new siren whistle for sounding
the fire alarm in Morris arrived Fri
day and was tried out the same night
successfully as a number of citizens
who were aroused from their slumbers
can testify. 1t is an electrical device
that will be placed above the Otter
Tail Power Co. building and the
switch for sounding the alarm is to
pe at the electric light plant. The
new fire alarm cost about $500. 1t
is planned to build a steel tower
and place the new siren whistle
above it early in the summer.
When this is done an arrangement
will be made for the Stevens County
Telephone Exchange to sound the fire
alarm by connecting a special line
with the siren whistle.

LOAN ASSOCIATION
BEGINS ORGANIZING
Interesting Meeting Held Satur-
day-Next Meeting Friday,
Feb. 3

A Federal Farm Loan Association
for Stevens county will be formed and
will commence doing business soon if
the interest manifested and the action
taken at the meeting last Saturday is
any indication of the desire there is to
form such an association here.
About fifty farmers and others in
terested met at the Commercial Club
rooms last Saturday afternoon in ac-
cordance with the call issued.
The meeting was called to order by
J. G. Morrison, who read the call
sent out by the American Farm Fin
ance League, and briefly explained
the purpose of the meeting and the
course OF procedure.
Nominations for temporary chair
man were called for, and j. II. Dew
enney nominated R. ]. Hall, who
was unanimously selected. Prof.
Paul Miller was selected as temporary
secretary.
Discussion then started on the pro-
visions of the Federal Farm Loan
Act, and Prof. Miller read the Farm
Loan Primer, which Mr.. Hall had
brought to the meeting. This is an
explanation of the act issued by the
treasury department, and explains in
simple language all the questions
usually asked concerning the law.
AS only those who desire to borrow
from the government may be members
of the local Federal Farm Loan AS
sociation. the next step was to find
out if a sufficient number wished to
become borrowers to start an assO-
citation. An expression was called
for and twelve responded-two more
than the number necessary to start an
association. 1t was therefore voted
that an association be formed, and q
motion made and carried that a COM
mittee on permanent Organization be
named. This committee, after some
discussion, was named to include
all the prospective members, r. J.
Hall, P. E. Miller, P. L. Gould, John
Strand, w. M. Buttell, John Ross,
M. F. Finnegan, P. s.. Jordan, F. L.
Seamans, Ole Loge, S. J. Buttell,
and E. C. Higbie. J. C. Morrison
was made an honorary member.
The committee plans to meet again
at the agricultural school on Friday,
Feb. %, at the time of the Farmers
Short Course, when all others who
desire to avail themselves of the bene-
fits of the organization may join, and
permanent organization will be
effected.
Several speakers expressed them
selves as we'll satisfied with the pro-
Concluded on page 81

The first half of the game ended with
a score of 8 to z in favor of Morris.
Saturday night the boys and girls
teams of the Morris High went to
Hancock and both teams received a
nice drubbing at the hands of the
Hancock High School teams. The
Morris girls were beaten by 25 to
IL score and the boys team from here
were on the short end of 24 to 10
score. The boys team of the Morris
High School will play the Browns
Valley High School tonight at Browns
Valley. The local team hopes to get
revenge for the defeat they suffered
at the hands OF the Browns Valley
boys two weeks, ago when the latter
team played here.

cussion at the monthly meeting of
the Mems Club of the Congregational
church, in the Green Room of the
Merchants hotel Monday evening and
the discussion was led by J. C. Nor

intensely interesting that eventually
nearly everyone present became in

of the impromptu speakers brought
forth points overlooked by the leaders
of the debate.

impromptu speeches we're full of orr
ginality and revealed the interest and
attention that had been given to the
leaders speeches.
A ballot of the company present
gave the debate to the negative side
by a vote of II to IA. Ray S.

to be a very capable one. Before
