SEASON FOR KILLING
HENS CLOSED 9 WEEKS
Food Administration Issues Order
for Purpose of Stimulating Egg
Production

The Minnesota food administra-
tion announces what amounts to a
partial embargo against killing hens
and pullets from this date until
April 13. For nine weeks there is
closed season on hens, the order
applying only to licensed poultry ex-
changes and associations and is de-
signed to encourage egg production.
The dispatch to Mr.. A. D. Wilson
from Washington stated that Ii
censed poultry dealers could not ship
live or freshly killed hens or pullets
within the dates given, but the ban
does not prevent them from shipping
poultry received and already on
hand. They are given until Febru-
ary 23rd to get rid Of this.
Mr.. Wilson said the embargo
would encourage sale of stored poul-
try and aid the national campaign to
promote poultry keeping in both
country and city.
Another Washington dispatch bore
on the. railroad priority order for
shipment of grain and grain prod
ucts. Mr.. Wilson was advised that
Minnesota might expect large
movement of box cars into the state
soon from Eastern territory. The
dispatch stated it was vitality i'm
portant that the soft corn now on
farms be moved to terminals before
the end of March, and the rail mea-
sure would make it possible.
Movements Of other grains held
back by car shortages should be ex-
pedited, it was said, especially wheat,
as shipments of wheat to the Allies in
December and January had been 49,
100000 bushel short of what should
have been sent. 1t was pointed out
that wheat stocks of the Allies were
being rapidly exhausted and relief
was imperative

saying that the crisis of the war
would be decided on the grain fields
and not on the battle fields.

Hats Off to Hancock

The kntters of Norris are TAX
ing off their bonnets to the ladies
of Hancock. A letter received
this week by Mrs. Harris, chair
man of the Knitting Committee
from Miss Blackman states that Han
cock recently shipped 100 sweaters
besides other knitting as one months
work. The Morris knitters are
splendid workers and the record of
the City of Norris in the way of Red

STEVENS COUNTY FARM
BUREAU is ORGANIZED
Meeting Held for That Purpose
Wednesday Afternoon and Off
GERS Elected

Stevens conuty is not to be be-
hind other Minnesota counties which
have tried out the county agent and
farm bureau proposition and found
that they mean more for progress and
prosperity in rural communities than
any system yet inaugurated for the
benefit of the farmer.
About 200 of the leading farmers,
stock raisers and dairymen of this
county assembled in the court house
in Morris Wednesday afternoon to
consider the acceptance of the gov
ernments' offer of $500 year and
the tender of the county board Of
$1,000 a year to maintain the work
for two years.
G. F. Kirk, president of the temp
orary organization, presided and P.
L. Spooner was elected as tempor-
ary secretary. A poll of each town
ship was taken and it was found that
each township was represented by
the following number. Donnelly 2,
Eldorado 0, Swan Lake 8, Everglade
1, Pepperton, 6, Morris 5, Framnas
z, Baker /, Scott 2, Darnen 6, Hor-
ton 1, Stevens 7, Synnes 2, Moore 8,
Hodges 0, Village of Chokio 2, Wilt
age of Alberta 3, Village of Donnelly
3, Village of Hancock 0, City of Nor
ris 12.
Mr.. Kirk reported that there were
now more than 200 members and
that every township had from 1 10
20 members in the association.
The articles of Incorporation were
read and adopted. A committee of
fifteen was appointed by the chair
man to act as nominating commit
tee and while they retired to make
up their slate Mr.. Kirkpatrick gave
a very interesting address. He re-
lated the war program as it affected
the farmers and stated that the need
of more wheat and hogs is the most
important thing at the present time
Every farmer must plan to raise the
same amount of barley and corn as
last year but each must increase

STEVENS COUNTY NOW
ABSOLUTELY BONE DRY
Recent Order Of Public Safety Com
mission Prevents Import of Any
Liquor

Stevens county is now absolutely
bone dry" The Minnesota Commits
sion of Public Safety has issued an
order prohibiting the introduction
and sale of Intoxicating liquors into
any territory in the state of Mime
sofa where it is prohibited by vir-
tue Of the provisions of any Indian
treaty or county option law. Here
tofore many counties have been dry
under these provisions but anyone
could send to the cities and have
liquor shipped in. This will not be
allowed any more and the territory
will be 'bone-dry"
This order will be strictly enforced
and is made in the interests of pub
lie safety, after Investigation into the
conditions existing in the territory
affected.
The purpose of the above order is
to prohibit dealers in intoxicating
liquors, wholesalers and retailers, in
Guiding brewers, from sending in
toxicating liquors into dry territory.
If they refrain from doing so, the
territory will be dry. The effect Of
introducing intoxicating liquors into
dry territory is to undermine the
County Option law, and the will OF
the people expressed at the polls.
pursuant to the provisions of that law.
1t is thought that no person engaged
in the sale of intoxicating liquors
will attempt to infringe the provisi-
sions of this order, and particularly
with the knowledge and information
that detection of violation on his or
it's part will result in most drastic
action by the commission to compel
respect for it's order:

price of from one to ten cents, the
total saving on the fifty-two items
being $1.89, or a little over per
cent. The most notable savings were
five cents on a can of beans, a can
Of apricots or on a sack of cornmeal,
barley or rye. Ten cents was the
saving on a five pound pail of coffee.
The credit business is realized as one
of the greatest obstacles in the gov
ernment thrift program.

WAR INDUSTRY CLASSES
STARTED TUESDAY EVE
Courses Being Taught in Three Diff
erent Lines-Four Evenings a
Week

A meeting was held at the High
School building Tuesday evening and
three classes were organized for the
drafted men in class one. The three
courses to be taken up are typewrit-
ing, mechanical drawing and cabinet
making. 1t had been planned to or
ganize class in auto and gas engine
work but not enough wanted this
class of work. Miss Gertrude Hall,
commercial teacher, will teach the
typewriting and Mr.. O'Connell, man
ual training instructor, will teach
the mechanical drawing and cabinet
making. The classes will meet every
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri
day evening for two hours eoch eve
ming and will continue for three
months if the men are not called out
before that. The men taking these
courses will have a big advantage
over the others on entertering the
cantonments. The War Department
needs skilled men and better pay is
assured to them if they bring to the
cantonment a certificate of prof.
cheney given to the men who COM
plete the courses of training. The
trained men will also be placed above
the rank of a private.

FINANCE COMMITTEE OF RED CROSS CHAPTER
REVIEWS WORK AND APPEALS FOR FUNDS

An open letter from the finance
committee to the community:
We, the undersigned, wish to take
advantage of the courtesy extended
to us by The Tribune to submit to the
members of the Stevens county chap
ter of the American Red Cross and it's
friends in the community at large a
statement of the splendid work ac-
complished since the organization of
that chapter in June, 1917. We also
wish to submit at this time state
ment of expenses consequent upon
that work.
AS members of the finance commit
tee, altho deeply interested in sue
cessfully discharging the duty i'm
posed upon us of financing the chap
ter, we beg to remind you that the sue
cessful outcome of the war, the prop
er equipment of our boys at the front,
contributing as it does to that result
and the adequate supplying of our
hospitals and relief stations is con-
Germ equally vital to us all. In the
last analysis it must rest with this
community as whole as with every
other community in the United States
whether the work, such as ours built
up with untiring effort and perse-
verance and now for the first time
completely organized and equipped to
bring substantial aid to our boys at
the front, is to be sustained, supported
and encouraged-or whether it will be
allowed to enter upon the easy and in
variably rapid path of decline. In
submitting the following report, we
ask what one of you would wish to
deduct one garment, or one dressing
from the following list, shipped from
the city of Morris, in this the critical
year of the war, for the alienation Of
the greatest suffering the world has
ever known?

Tabulation of Surgical Dressings for
January
1850 surgical dressings, $43.5O, the
total output of 2 instruction classes,
2 afternoon classes, 2 evening clas-
ses, including men, or the equivalent
of 10 persons working week.
Advice from headquarters predict
an impending rise in cost of yarn and
outing flannel of approximately 25
per cent to so per cent, with the re-
suit that basing our estimates on the
increasing cost of materials, we sub
nit the following as a conservative
estimate of monthly expenses of the
chapter during 1918, which the finance
committee will be called upon to meet.
Expenses Per Month
Knitting committee........ $4,000
Hospital linen committee (dis-
continued)
Garment Committee $4,000
Surgical dressing committee...$1 $4,000
Infants refugee garments 5000
Coal and sundry expenses....... 1000
$4,000
The difference in the estimate of
$100 per month for the surgical work
and the amount expended in January
is due to the fact that in January
the two smallest and least expensive
dressings in "The War Manuel" were
made, whereas all remaining dres-
sings involve both a much greater
quantity of material and more ex-
pensive material.
For the first half of the year of the
chapters existence donations, enter
tainments and 25 per cent of our con-
tributions to the war council fund
made easy sailing, so much so in fact
that all of us have become accustom-
ed4to the idea that the chapter runs
itself automatically. Not person in
the city of Morris has ever been asked
for any financial support except in the
contributions made to an auction sale
las fall. A depleted treasury now
brings us face to face with the rea-
lization that the time for miscellan-
eous giving is past if the work of the
chapter is to be carried on efficiently
and economically. We must have a
definite monthly income upon which
we can rely and upon which we may
base future purchases.
In carrying to a successful con-
clusion our present policy of making
the finances of the chapter meet the
work, rather than necessitating the |
curtailing of the work to meet the |
finances, we invite your aid, support |
and by no means least, GOOD WILL.
It is our purpose to give each one
of our one thousand members an op-
portunity to help and we respect
fully submit as the slogan of the FL
nance Committee, that if we are to
win the war, eve will have to stop
doing our bit, and begin doing our
best"
