Confdentially we will say that the
machine costs a lot of money -
S3,4O2.54, besides the freight from
Brooklyn, $12O worth of metal, in
stallation expense, etc. We are very
much obliged to those who are owing
us for their response to our call for
funds.
AS before stated, the machine
which The Tribune has purchased,
I,-s manufactured by the Intertype
Corporation, of Brooklyn, N. Y, is
the last word in modern composing
room equipment. Money cannot buy
better machine of it's Glass; it rep
resents the pinnacle of inventive
genius in it's field. One man on the
machine can set as much type as four
or five men of equal ability can set
by hand.
Only a few years ago many print
ers firmly believed that a machine for
setting type was dream which, like
perpetual motion would never be
realized. Inventors had been spend
ing time and money on attempts to
build such machines for so long, and
so uniformly unsuccessful, that it
was often stated that, until ma
chine could be made to think, type
would continue to be set in exactly
the same way that Benjamin Frank
| lin set it in his day. Many and large
we're the fortunes WHICH were lost in
unsuccessful inventions of this kind.
One typical failure was an extremely
complicated machine which was
backed for several years by Mark
Twain. The great humorist spent a
huge fortune in attempting to estab-
lish this machine, but it was never a
commercial success and he lost every
thing that he put into it.
At last man appeared, Ottmar
Mergenthaler, matchmaker, who
conceived the idea of setting line
of type at time instead of single
| letters. After much study and eX-
perimentation he developed a ma
chine, the linotype, which almost i'm
mediately proved successful in Op-
Grafton in some of the larger news
paper composing rooms. The limo

Wengelin- Carlson.

A romance that began last spring
when Miss Mary Wengelin of Edo
rado township visited her aunt in
Stromsburg, Neb., was eliminated
yesterday when Miss Wengelin was
married to Arthur Carlson of Stroms-
burg, Neb., by the Rev. F. A. Stever
at the parsonage Of the Congrega-
tional church. Miss Wengelin met
Mr.. Carlson at that time and yester-
day Mr. Carlson came to take her
back to Nebraska again.
Miss Ruth Bjorlin was the brides
maid and Gustav Wengelin, a brother
of the bride, attended the groom. The
newly-weds will make their future
home at Stromsburg, but will first
take short honeymoon trip to Eagle
Bend, Mimi.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Wengelin of Eldorado
township and is we'll liked and re-
spected by all who know her.

MORRIS TOURISTS
TAKE CUBAN TRIP
Messrs. COlyer and Tewksbury Visit
Col. A. H. Taisey's Fruit
Ranch Near Havana .

w. L. Colyer has written us an
other interesting letter about his
trip thru the sunny southland and
we are sure that the Tribune readers
will be interested in reading Mr.
Colyer's description of his travels.
Mr.. Colyer tells of meeting H. HI.
Wells in Havana and having as a
travelling companion o. F. Tewks-
bury of Morris. The following let
ter is written from Col, A. HI.
Ta1sey's big fruit ranch 100 miles
from Havana. Col. Taisey is we'll
known to many Morris residents
and was for many years the agent
for the Great Northern railway at
DonneIly.
II promised to write you few
lines about my trip to Cuba. I am
now at Col. Taisey's ranch and o. r.
TeWksbury is with me. We arrived
here yesterday (Feb. y in the
afternoon. This place is over 100
miles from Havana. The ride here
was very interesting. There are
several large towns near, Matanzas,
Colon and San Domingo, the latter
town about 5000 people, and which
is in the province of Santa Clara, the
the largest province in Cuba.
eve are in the vicinity of the
large sugar plantations and mills.
There are also many orange and
grape fruit groves near here and
then there are thousands of acres of
undeveloped lands. Mr.. Taisey has
fine grove of orange and grape
fruit trees. We have been riding
around today looking over several
large plantations of all kinds of gar
den truck. I could not tell what all
OF the garden truck was
1.-The Cuban people are very inter-
est1ng and polite and very loyal to
the United States. We are going
to visit large sugar mill in the
morning and several places of inter-
est. Saturday we will look over
the old town of San Domingo and in
the afternoon of the same day we
will return to Havana We. will
stay there over Sunday and take the
steamer Monday for Florida Keys
and from there to Jacksonville, Fla.

Green Cove Springs, Fla. I will
probably be there for some time, but
Tewksbury will leave there about
the goth to go on trip to Texas and
California
eve met all the Wells people in
Havana. They left yesterday for
the Isle of Pines. There are many
interesting things that I could write
about but 1 will wait until 1 get
home. Hoping that all of the Nor
ris people are well, remain,
Fraternally yours,
W. L.. Colyer."
In the same mail we received the
following short note from J. B. And
erson of Eugene, Oregon: I'VE are
getting along fine and have been
very busy the last year doing a
great deal of University work. Give
our best regards to all of our many
Morris friends

Wollin-K -Kitzke.

Ellen Violin, daughter of Mrs.
Albert Violin, who lived on a farm
ten miles northeast of Norris ten
years ago, was married to William
Kitzke of Alexandria, at the home of
Rev. G. A. Pilgrim last Thursday eve
ming. Emma Kruger was the brides
maid and Gustav Violin, a cousin of
the bride, attended the groom. After
the wedding ceremony the young
couple took their wedding dinner at
the William Violin home in this city.
They left Immediately afterward to
make their future home on a farm
near Alexandria.
The bride left Morris with her
parents and moved to a farm near
Alexandria, and it was at this time
that the courtship that eliminated
in the marriage here, began. Later
the Wollins moved to the state of
Washington. After her husband s
death there Mrs. Violin moved to
her present home in jefferson county,
Wisconsin.

COLLEGE SINGERS
HERE NEXT SUNDAY
Lutheran Seminary Glee Club to
Give Concert at Orpheum-
Auspices Snyod Church.

The Lutheran Seminary Glee club
of st. Paul will give a sacred con-
cert at the Orpheum Theater Sum
day. Rev. John Dahle is the director
of the club of fourteen voices. The
glee club has never appeared before
a Morris audience but they come
with an enviable reputation and
those who care for superior choral
work will not be disappointed with
the college boys from St. Paul.
In addition to the fine musical pro-
gram, Prof. o. E. Brandt of the fac
ulty of the Lutheran college will de-
liver a lecture.
The concert and lecture is to be
given under the auspices of the Nor
ris Evangelical Lutheran Synod
church. The proceeds of the eve
ning's entertainment will be devoted
to the foreign missionary fund of the
church. The program will begin
promptly at p. m. The admission
to the lecture and concert is 25 cents
for children and 35 cents for adults.

MORRIS WILL HAVE
BIG CONCERT BAND
Band Boys Meet and Reorganize-
New Uniforms Coming-Will
Give Weekly Concerts

The band boys met at the Armory
Wednesday evening for the purpose
of reorganizing and electing officers
for the coming season. w. A. Ross
was elected president; S. H. Gros-
land, vice president and leader;
Clifford Sampson, secretary; Harold
Vinje was reelected treasurer.
The band now numbers twenty
two players, several veterans as well
as new players having recently
joined.
The boys are planning on getting
uniforms, also to give weekly con-
certs on the street.
With a little enthusiasm shown
by the citizens there is no reason
why Morris should not have one of
the finest bands in the Northwest.

type was further developed and grad
ually spread all over the world, and
for many years no other manufac-
turer attempted to build similar
machine. A few years ago, however,
a new concern appeared in the field
with a machine designed along the
lines of the linotype, but equipped
with a large number of detail i'm
provements and simplifcations. The
new machine was called the I'm
TERTYPE." 1t is manufactured by
the Intertype Corporation, and the
machine just installed by the Trib-
une is a Model &C." which is sold by
| that company.
The Intertype sets one line of type
at time. The matrices from which
the lines are cast are carried in a fat
receptacle, called the magazine, near
the top of the machine. AS the ope-
rator at the keyboard touches the
key buttons, the matrices are re-
| leased and fall down to an assembler
When the line of matrices is COM
pletely assembled, the operator pres
ses a lever and the line is carried to
the casting mechanism. Here molten
metal under heavy pressure is forced
into a mold, the slot of the mold be-
ing backed by the assembled line of
matrices. In this way a solid bar or
Slug is cast, with the type letters
projecting in relief along one edge.
These bars or slugs are automatic
ally gathered into columns, ready for
printing.
The whole process as outlined
above appears to be very simple, and,
in theory, it is simple. But in actual
practice a number of difficulties arise
which have been very cleverly pro-
vided for in the design of the ma
chine. For instance, there is the
matter of automatically spacing the
lines so that they will be of even
length. This is accomplished by
means of wedge shaped 'spacebands'
which spread the words in each line
far enough apart to make the end
of the last word line up with the
ends of all the other lines. Then
there is the necessity of distributing
the matrices from which the line is
cast. This is accomplished by means
of an ingenious set of combination
teeth in the matrices, whereby the
latter are carried to the top of the
machine and allowed to fail into
their proper channels in the maga,

MANY LEGISLATORS
VISIT FARM SCHOOL
Spend Busy Day Inspecting the
School and Looking Into It's
Needs.

A number of the most prominent
members Of the state Legislature took
advantage of the legal holiday yes
terday and accepted the invitation of
Representative Archie Stone to visit
the West Central School and Station,
and acquaint themselves with the
work it is doing in order to be bet
ter able to intelligentIy provide for
it's needs.
The committee came out on Wed
nesday night and took breakfast to-
gether at the Merchants hotel yes
terday morning. They were then
taken to the farm school, where they
inspected the school and station and
listened to some Of the lectures of
the Farmers Short Course now in
session, the principal one being by
DR.. Away on Soil Surveys. After
lunch at the school more time was
spent in inspecting the institution.
At 2 80 Hon. w. I. Nolan, who has
been obtained as a number on the
Short Course, gave one of his pOpu-
lar lectures. The guests were then
taken to the Commercial club rooms,
where an informal reception was
held.
In the evening the farm school
rendered a banquet to the Wis
itors at the farm school, after which
a speaking and entertainment pro-
gram was given: Prof. P. E. Miller
was POSTMASTER and many of
the guests gave axtemporanc0us Te-
sponses. Music and a playIet by the
students concluded the delightful
prJgram.

c. c. DECIDES FOR
MORRIS WHITE WAY
Committee Will Meet With City Com,
missiOners- TO Try For High
way Appropriation.

If the sentiment of the sixty mem
bers of the Morris Commercial club
is an indication of the sentiment of
the citizens, the installation of a
white way on the principal busi-
ness streets seems to be an assured
thing. The Commercial club met
Friday night in the club rooms and
all Of the members present expressed
themselves on the question of install
ling white way" The last OBJ
lection was removed when C. B. Kid
der of Fergus Falls, one of the Of
ficials of the Ottertail Power Co.,
promised the club that if the city
decided to put in the lighting sys-
tenn, the light company would re-
move the light poles now used in
the business district and string the
wires underground.
The majority of the Commercial
club members seemed to favor single
standards and only one light on each
pole. The lighting system would be
so arranged that alternate lights
could be turned out. Mr.. Kidder es-
| timated that thirty-four poles would
be needed and that it would cost $65
pole for installation. Part of this
| expense would be met by the $500
that has been subscribed by the
ladies of the Civic League and the
Commercial club.
President r, M. Adams was in
structed to appoint a committee of
ten to wait on the city commissioners
and try to work out ways and means
toward the establishing of the white
way"
F. R. Putnam, F. A. Hancock, Paul
SpOoner and J. H. Devenney were
appointed a committee to confer
with the county commissioners in the
procuring for Stevens county a part
of the $6,OOO,OOO that the Federal
government is appropriating fol
Minnesota highways from 1917 tC
1927.
! Guy Stewart, w. A Ross, H. A
De Lashmutt and William Glotfelty
were voted into membership of the
club.
