ONLY ONE TICKET
FOR CITY ELECTION
G. W, Geenty for Mayor and Chas.
Vaughn and F. E. Ware for
Commissioners

Following the announcement in
The Tribune last week that Wednes-
day was to be the last day on which
nominations for the city election
could be made, interest in the mat
ter began to grow, and there was
considerable informal discussion of
various candidates..
Mayor Jones and Commissioner
KrUeger, who have devoted so much
time to city affairs during the past
four years, remained firm in their
desire to be relieved, and G. W.
Geenty was therefore asked to run
for mayor. Of the various business
men asked to become candidates for
commissioner, Chas. Vaughn and F.
E. Ware finally consented to accept
the nomination for commissioners.
The ticket is generally acceptable
and it is not expected that there will
be any opposition at the election on
November 6.

Old Stockings for French Relief

One pair Of old stockings will less
en- the winters hardships for a child
of France.
Here's a chance for Norris to help
the destitute people in the devas-
tated districts of our brave ally in
the fight for humanity. When you
come down town, bring old stock
ings, mems women's and children's
and place them in the barrel in front
of the L. W. Danielson store. No
matter how delapidated they are,
bring them. They will be repaired
or made into new stockings by the
French Civilian Relief committee.
Everybody can help with no cost
and just little effort. Come on,
Morris, it's another chance to make
good in the Norris way.-L. w.

New Teachers Entertained

The teachers of the Morris high
schools who we're here last year en-
tertained the new teachers at a Hal
loWe'en party at the high school
building Monday night. Old and
new teachers had a great time even
if a ghostly one. So ghostly a time
that Miss Patricia Hart shrieked
with horror at the sight of two hu-
man heads severed from their bodies
and the bloody hatchet lying near
by. Even the hand shake of the
ghost was too clammy and cold to
be human and it fairly took breath
away from some of the more timid.
The meeting was held two weeks
early because the annual meeting
for the teachers Of the state will be
held the latter part of October and
at that time most Of the teachers
would be in attendance at the meet
ing or would be at their homes.

In STEVENS TOWNSHIP
Large Crowd Attends Unique Attrac-
tion at Town Hall-Many Ex-
hibits and Amusements

The second annual fair of the
held in the town hall Saturday, Oct
IS. Stevens township turned out en-
masse and there was a considerable
number from each village and town
ship of the county present In the
quality and number of various ex-
one and probably the only one in
the country that has an annual
township fair and Iyceum course.
There was something of every kind
Of exhibit; splendid display of
fancy work, an extensive grain ex-
hibit and an excellent disylay of
potatoes and vegetables. There was
also an interesting display of pastry
and canned goods.
Five pure bred cattle were on eX-
hibit and a large number of fat
grade cattle. There was also num-
ber of valuable horses and colts
shown and a pen of pure bred hogs.
P. S. Jordan, Of the animal husban-
dry department of the University
farm school judged the stock and
made a very interesting talk, while
doing so. The limited display of
live poultry was judged by County
Auditor WolIthan, of Morris.
Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Britt, of Cho-
kio, were the judges of the ladies'
department. Mrs. Thomas Conroy
assisted by Chokio public school
teachers judged the exhibits of the
different country schools that were
represented. All of the ladies at the
fair were interested in the work of
the ChOkio branch of the Red Cross
society that was on display.
The picnic dinner that was pro-
vided by the hOspitabIe people of
Stevens township provided a bounte-
GUS dinner for all The dinner was
served cafeteria style and if there
was anyone who did not get all that
he wanted it was his own fault.
The dance in the evening at the
town hall furnished the largest
crowd that was ever in the building.
The proceeds from the dance will go
toward the purchase of a piano for
the hall. The novelty races and
amusements during the afternoon
furnished fun for everyone
One Of the residents of Stevens
township said everyone seemed to
have good time and expected to
make the fair next year even better.
The best feature Of the day was that
nearly everyone turned out to the
fair, got acquainted and found out
that they had some 'darned' good
neighbors"

MOTHER RESCUES SON
FROM GASOLINE FIRE
Explosion of Gasoline Tank of Auto
mobile Almost Fatal to Law
renee Hoffman

A widowed mothers presence of
mind probably saved the life of Law
renee Hoffman from burning to
death Monday at the Hoffman farm
home Is miles south Of Morris. Law
renee was adjusting the carburetor
of the new Imperial car, that the
Hoffmans purchased last spring, in
the early part of the evening and
had craWled under the car taking an
ordinary lantern with him. The
flame in the lantern ignited the gas
oline in the car and the eight gallons
of gasoline in the tank exploded.
In some way Lawrence was able
to crawl from under the car and
was trying to put out the flames on
his clothing and body by rolling on
the ground, when his mother
alarmed by the loud explosion came
running to the garage and using the
sweater that she was wearing sue
ceeded in smothering the fire.
Lawrence was taken to Morris and
after his burns were dressed by DR..
Caine was taken to the rooms of Mrs.
Matteson, the trained nurse. He
was terribly burned about the hands
and face
The explosion set fire to the car
and then to the garage and chicken
house. Mr.. Hoffman is staying in
Morris having his burns dressed and
will be unable to leave the care of
physician and trained nurse for at
least a week.

NEW AG. SCHOOL DINING
HALL TO COST $4,000
To Be the Finest on Campus says
Architect Dimensions 40 feet
by 113 feet

All of the excavation for the new
dining hall on the University farm
school campus has been done and
the end of this week the contractors
will have all of the concrete poured
on the foundations. The new build
ing which will cost $4,000 and will
be the finest on the campus has been
promised by the contractors to be
under roof by January 1, 1918. A.
H. Haas, of ST. Paul, representing
the N. E. Fransen Co., is superin-
! tending the work of construction.
The present building will be torn
down after April l, 1918, the mat
erial from the old building will be
used in the construction of a barn
for beef cattle. This barn will be
made a wing of the present dairy
barn. The material will also en-
able the farm school management to
construct barns for the housing of
sheep and hogs.
c. J. Johnson, the noted architect
OF st. Paul drew the plans for the
new building and he has also drew
the plans for all of the newer and
finer buildings on the campus. Mr.,
Johnson says that the new building
will be the finest on the campus. 1t
will answer a long felt need for a.
suitable inside gymnasium and aud
Itorium beside furnishing the school
with a modern dining hall and
cuisine
The basement of the building will
be arranged for the pantries, bakery
and kitchen. The food will be sent
to the dining hall above by dumb
walters and the odors of cooking
and baking will never be- known by
the students at their meals.
On the ground floor will be located
the dining hall coat rooms and in
the wing in the rear the matron's and
cooks living quarters. The building
at the ground floor is to be 113 feet
in length and 48 feet in width. On
either side of the dining room are
the coat rooms, and toilets for the
boys and girls. The food will be
sent to the dining room by dumb
walters from the cuisine below.
The upper floor will be converted
into a fine gymnasium floor or for
an AUDITORIUM. The building is to
have a high skylight roof and will
make one Of the finest floors for bas-
ket ball, handball, indoor track or
dancing floors in the state. It will
also be large enough to seat a large
crowd and when used as an audit
orium stage can be used by means
Of the small addition on one side of
the building just above the matron's
quarters.
There will be a balcony above to
be used for spectators at athletic ex-
hibitiOns or for an overflow crowd
when the gymnasium floor is used
for an auditorium
There will be ample Accommodations
for girls and boys lockers and show
er baths.
The outside of the building will be
finished in the yellow pressed brick,
the same as the dormitories on the
campus. The new building will cost
about $4,000 more than the dormt-
tories
