'|WHITE WAY" PLAN
DISCUSSED TONIGHT
Open Meeting at Commercial
Club for Morris Citizens to
Debate Proposed Plan

Whether or not Morris is have a
"white way" in the near future will
be more or less definitely decided at
the open meeting that has been called
tonight in the Commercial Club rooms.
If the cluster lighting system for the
business streets of Morris is desired
by a majority of the citizens and the
men who own property along the
streets where the lights would be
placed and if the sentiment is found to
favor the proposition, methods for pro-
curing the necessary funds will be
considered. The committee of the
Commercial Club appointed two weeks
ago to inquire of the neighboring cities
of Beardsley, Appleton, Benson, con-
cerning the cost and success of the
"white way" lighting systems in
these cities will probably make a de-
tailed report.
A definite idea of the cost of the
proposed lighting system will be OBJ
tanned tonight for C. B. Kidder, one
of the officials of the Otter Tail Power
Co., will be present to inform the
citizens of the cost of installation and
maintenance.

FATHERS TO TAKE
STUDIES OF SONS
Many Farmer Fathers will Take
Course in Gas Engines and
Autos at Short Course

Arrangements are being made at
the University farm school for more
than 1875 farmers to take the
course of instruction in gas en-
gines and automobiles to be given
next week at the annual Farmers
Short Course. This is a much larger
number than enrolled in the course
last year, but the school authorities
have number of logical conclusions
to warrant their expecting a greatly
increased attendance.
During the past school year at the
University Farm school 60 farmers
sons have been industriously devoting
themselves to studying and solving
the mechanism and operation of the
different makes of automobiles, gas
engines and tractors. The boys have
become very enthusiastic about their
work and have made such favorable
reports to the "folks back home"
that their "dads' have written to the
University farm school that they in
tend to come down to the short course
and enroll "in that auto and gas en-
gine course
Another sure sign that the "folks
back home" are interested in what
the son" is doing in this practical
course has been proved during the
last six months, when a number of
farmers sent down their old tractors,
Fords and crippled gas engines to the
agricultural school to be overhauled,
new parts inserted and then sent back
almost as good as new. At the pres
ent time the boys classes under the
direction of Mr.. Robertson, an ex-
perienced mechanic from one of the
large garages in St. Paul, are over
hauling two automobiles and gas en-
gine belonging to farmers in Stevens
county.
Demonstrations will be given to
the farmers attending the short course
in the large machinery hall of the en-
gineering building. For the farmers
who took the course last year more
advance work will be given. More
attention will be given to these
courses than ever before. Cars will
be taken to pieces and the different
parts studied and all the troubles that
are to be expected will be solved
and explained in practical manner.
! The course will be given every day
in several sections in order to avoid
conflicts with other lectures and de-
monstrations.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
PARTY BEST EVER
Twas a Time When the Old
Were Young and the Young
Were Gay; Many There

There has been a reward of 81 900
offered for the arrest and conviction
of any person, who did not have the
time of his young life at the annual
family party of the Morris CONNER
cial Club, held in the armory last Fri
day night. Up to a late honr last
night no such person could be found
it is not likely that he will ever be
found in the Western Hemisphere
for if such a person exists and should
ever get in the clutches of the angry
mob that are waiting for him here in
Morris he would never live to reach
the hospital. But like the small boy
who saw a giraffe for the first time,
we are of the opinion "that there
haint no such animal" There
couldn't be if there was, Ell?
The fathers and mothers that
brought their children to the party,
took President Robert Adams at his
word, when in his address of well
come he told the cold to be young
and the young to be gay" Well,
everyone was young but the old were
the gayest. 1t was certainly the
most successful annual gathering ever
given by the Commercial Club. The
largest crowd that ever attended an an
nual party of the Commercial club was
present and there wasn't quite enough
room on the dancing floor when the
old folks and young folks heard the
Ideal Orchestra start playing an ir-
resistible waltz.
The crowd got acquainted with each
other from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. anC
during which time number of folks
played cards. From 9 30 to 1926
the musical program that had beer
arranged was rendered. The only way
to find how excellent the program
was is to ask person who was there.
The Ideal Orchestra played just lit
tie better than ever before, Norbert
Walz was compelled to sing all thu
selections in his repetoire, and Mis-
Margaret Eckes sang an Ave Maria il
Italian, and even if the audience
didn't understand word, they wer'
charmed by the sweetness and har
mony of her voice. Miss johnson O.
the University farm school gave three
readings that held the large audi
ence spellbound.

sity farm school. was the speaker O.

MORRIS ENDORSES
PRESIDENTS STAND
Patriotism is Keynote of Tues
days Mass Meeting. Strand
Theatre Was Crowded.

The fact that the citizens mass
meeting Tuesday night in the Strand
theatre followed the observance of
Lincoln's birthday Monday, was not
the reason for the great demonstration
of loyalty and patriotism at that time.
1t was caused by the development of
international events and the realiza-
tion of the need a united nation in the
present crisis and it added a thou
sandfold to the element to patriotism
that stirred the large crowd present.
The Strand theatre was crowded
long before the scheduled time fol
program that was arranged by the
committee. There we're many who
were unable to enter the building.
F. w. Murphy of Wheaton, who
was expected to speak at the meeting
was unable to be present. j. B. Or
mond presided at the meeting and
made an eloquent opening address on
Patriotism. -
"Patriotism" said the first speaker,
"is an imperishable fire that is ever
burning in the innermost souls of
every American and this sacred fire
is ever ready to break forth into a
brilliant gigantic fame at the slight
est danger to our country. The spirit
of patriotism that has become en-
gendered in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people by the many lives that
were lost in the American Revolution,
the War of 1912 and the great Civil
war, has taught US that we must up
hold these ideals and laws that were
established and fought and bled for by
the patriots and founders of our coun-
try. We are engaged in peaceful
pursuits. and we hope for peace-but
we must have peace with honor"
"Our Republic" was the subject of
w. H. Cherry, the second speak
sr. MIR. Cherry in his concluding
remarks, proposed the following toast
to "Our Country" ."My country
may she always be right-but my
counry right or wrong" While we
are preparing for peace we should get
ready for war was the opinion of the
second speaker.
"The Making of Our Citizens"
was the subject of Supt. Simonds'
talk. "In each child is engendered
the spirit of loyalty and love for home
and parents. The loyalty and devo-
tion that the man has for his country
is inversely proportionate to the home
life and idealistic training he has re-
ceived in his youth"
T. j. Mangan voiced the keynote of
the meeting in his address on cam
erican Ideals" when he said: "We
congregate here in an attempt to ex-
press our appreciation of that which
is dearer and sweeter to US than life
liberty, and in an attempt to dis
play that which every true American
feels-fealty to his government and
loyalty to his flag"
P. E. Miller of the University farm
school, made forceful address on the
subject "Our Country and Its Rela-
tion to the World" and in which he
said, "There are some things worse
than dishonor and that is peace with
dishonor We have found it neces-
ssry to break with Germany in order
to mtaintain that we price more
than life itsalf, our liberty and our
rights as an independent nation"

the evening and although he declared
he hadn't prepared polished address,
he couldn't have scored a bigger hit
if he had put in month planning an
oratorical masterpiece. We are glad
to say this for Prof. Miller, in spite
of the fact that he "bawled out the
Tribune" for stating last week that
he was on the program for "speak-
in. " "Make Morris Beautiful
Without Draining The City Trea-
sury," is a very good name to
give to Mr.. Miller's talk. The
speaker suggested number of sim
pie, Inexpensive ways of making
Morris a "City Beautiful" ga
little cooperation on the part of
every citizen would be more effec-
tive than the contracting with an ex-
pensive landscape gardener, he said.
Mr.. Miller suggested a "clean up"
campaign for every citizen to get busy
next spring and paint his home, take
care of his lawn, prune his shade trees
and plant an abundance of perennial
flowers. In speaking of community
cooperation, Mr.. Miller suggested
that garden clubs be organized among
the school children. 1.-THE school
children could raise enough potatoes
on the back yards of Morris that are
permitted to grow up in weeds every
year to supply the entire city all
year," was Mr.. Miller's declaration.
'The school pupils could be organized
into competitive. clubs, for example
the West Side could compete against
the East Side. The garden club idea
has been very successful in Mime
apolis and other cities and there is
no reason why it would not prove
as successful here.''
Mr.. Miller suggested that a num-
Der of citizens donate their services
in the spring and make the Morris
High School grounds one of the
beauty spots of the city. The
speaker volunteered to lead the way
with rake and spade. A need of a
park board to systematic boulevard
plan for the Morris streets and the
planting of trees along the lawns,
was advocated. Many of the eyesores
of the city were pointed out and their
removal was advocated. The old
buildings should be replaced by new
and modern dwellings, the quick
growing cottonwoods and box elders
should be replaced by elms and hard
naples, he said.
Ice cream, cake and coffee were
served at midnight. The cakes were
donated by the ladies of the Women &
Civic League and to attempt to ex-
plain how delicious the cakes were
would be futile.
Well, most everybody "stuck
around" until about 3 a. m. Although
the orchestra was originally hired to
play for the dancers until 2 a. M,
the crowd, old and young, showed nc
disposition to leave so the musicians
were engaged for another hour. AnC
