City Power Plant Running.

The Morris power plant is now op-
Grating at full capacity during -twen-
ty-four hours of the day, as a result
of the shortage of water from which
the Fergus Falls company get the
greater portion Of their power.
This shortage of water has been a
very serious matter for the company.
Up until the past winter there was an
abundance of water and the company
continued to branch out, running a
network of wires over this entire Sec
tion of the state and contracting with
the various cities and villages to fur
nish electric energy for light and
power purposes. In order to keep up
their service they have now had to
open all the steam plants at their
command.
The plant at Morris is not enly
able to- supply the needs of this city,
but also produces surplus Of electri-
icty which is thrown into the line to
supply other towns.

in citizenship is required of all SEN
iors. This takes up the study of Am
erican Government and of the more
important economic and social pro-
blems confronting our country, such
as immigration, organized labor,
women in industry, child labor, con-
servation, the liquor problem, Amer
icanization of the foreign-born, care
of detectives, etc.
A course in expression is offered
during the junior and senior years to
give voice training. This is given by
Miss Dodds, the new principal, who
has had considerable work along this
line, and the subject is proving a very
popular one with the upper classes.
The Red Cross work for the girls
and the military training for the boys
will, in all probability be given two
hours week beginning in October.

Gets Honorable Discharge.

Walter Ferrell came home from
Camp Cody last Sunday and will re-
main, having received an honorable
discharge He has been in a hospi-
tai at Camp Cody for many months
with siege of pneumonia and on ac-
count of his condition it was not
thought best to keep him in the SER
vice. His friends are glad to have
him back, as he was very sick for a
time and very low. Altho he did not
bring the Kaiser's scalp back, yet he
tried hard enough to get to Germany
and is as much entitled to honor as
any soldier in the service.

MORE MEN MUSTERED
INTO NATIONAL GUARD
First Company Drill Held Monday
Night And Commissioned Officers
Named

More men we're mustered into state
service at the regular drill of Co. X
Monday night. Part of the company
was mustered in several weeks ago
and those taken in Monday night
were new men that have joined since.
Major Spooner did the mastering and
80 men are now actual members.
About 115 men have signed up to
join the new company and others will
be sworn in as soon as they have been
examined and accepted.
At the present time 102 men have
been examined and the results of the
examinations of part of them has not
been received. Major Dahl of Man
kato passes on each case and the en-
listment papers and examination
blanks must pass thru his hands. He
has returned 81 blanks and out of
this number z were rejected for
physical reasons.
AS soon as each company in the
regiment has been mustered up to
full strength the regiment as a whole
will be mustered into federal service
and will then be subject to call in any
part of the United States. The uni
forms and equipment will also be
furnished when the regiment is
mustered in. Norris is in the 3rd
Battalion of the 5th Regiment and
the other companies in this Battal-
lion are Crookston, St. Cloud and
Redwood Falls. Each battalion is
composed of four companies. Major

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
OPENS SEPTEMBER rs
Each Person in County Will Be
Allotted Amount and Expected
to Pay

AS you walk along the streets OF
Morris any evening you probably
notice the absence of many faces
which year ago were quite fami-
liar. Many of them-bright, ambi-
tious, smiling young chaps-havs
quit the pursuits of civil life to don
the armor of the soldier to help fight
the battle for liberty and humanity.
A number of them. have already
crossed the Atlantic and some OF
them are, no doubt, at this very
moment in the front-line trenches or
helping drive the Teuton forces
back. Their smiles, we hope, have
not disappeared but grim determin-
alton has steeled their hearts to do
their bit to wipe the last vestige Of
'tkultur'' and Prussian militarism
from the face of the earth.
You and I want to bring these
boys-every one of them safely back
home. We want them back again an
a part of our daily life. even If We
cannot boast of service flag in the
window, denoting vacant chair &C
the table.
But before we can expect to SEQ
them again we must see that they
are properly fed, clothed and furn-
ished with the guns and ammunition
to accomplish the task they have set
out to do. Steevns county's quota for
the Fourth Liberty Loan Is $51Ss-
900. This is a large amount but
the method of raising it will be diff
erent than in the past. Mr.. F. A.
Hancock is again chairman Of the
county and he has his plans an
made. In statement which he
makes he has the following to say:
There will be no soliciting of
bonds, neither will there be any
speaking campaign in connection
with this drive At the time of the
floating of the Third liberty Bonds
people were so enthusiastic and SUBJ
scrfbed to their share in such a will
ing manner, that we have simply al
loted each person their proper
amount for this issue and shall ex-
pect each one to make his payment
without further solicitation. Cards
will be sent to each person notify
ing them of the amount they are ex-
pected to pay and when and where
to pay it, and this is expected to do
the business. We will not attempt
to over-subscribe our allotment this
time. During the first Liberty LoaM
Stevens county's quota was $500, ,0oe
and $4,000 was subscribed. ThN

the hours of and s o'clock. A spec
ial train will bring the band and ex-
hibition and everyone is invited to

the Allies as trophies Of the awful
fight that is being made by the heroes

heart to heart talk to the boys in
which he said that altho he was no

not even member of the company,
yet he would take the same interest
in Co. K as he did in Co. A and he
hoped the boys would strive to make
the Morris company one Of the best,
If not the best, in the regiment. He
also cautioned the boys as to their
conduct while in service for Uncle
Sam and told them to go into the
thing with determination to make
the most Of it and get all the fun and
good out Of the military life that was
in it.
The commissioned officers of the
new company have been named and

PLANS ARE READY FOR
STEVENS COUNTY FAIR
Good Entertainment Provided and
Usual Premiums Will Be
Offered

Next week will be fair week in
Morris and the 1918 fair promises to
eclipse all past efforts in many ways.
The bumper crops of good quality
will strengthen the agricultural ex-
hibits, while many who have recent
ly gone into the blooded stock busi-
ness will increase the rivalry in the
stock exhibits. The farmers clubs
of the county are arranging to show
their efforts toward the winning Of
the war and prizes will be offered for
the best exhibits.
The dates of the fair are Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 25s
26 and 27. This means that only
a few days remain for exhibitors to
get busy with their arrangements.
The first day will be given over to
the business of entering the exhibits
and the fair will start proper on
Thursday.
C. R.Wollthan, secretary of the fair
association, is hard at work looking
after the details and getting things
ready for the big show. The grounds
are in good condition and the build
ings will be made spick and span for
the exhibits. Special efforts are be-
ing made to have the exhibits COM
plete in all departments.
Many entertaining features have
been planned for the fair. A patriotic
pageant will be put on by the school
children of Morris and Secretary
Wollthan went to Minneapolis yester-
day to make arrangements for cos
umes. A free for all horse race will
be put on and running race, 2 heats
out of to win. In the way of auto
races there will be ten-mile race
and a Ford Stock Car race of miles.
Several bicycle races will also be on
the program.

ty Band.
Speakers of note will be present
to deliver addresses and there will
be many things in the exhibit de-
partments to instruct and entertain.

BABY WELFARE WEEK
BEGINS NEXT TUESDAY
ALI Children under School Age
Should Be Weighed and
Measured.

The first five days of October have
been designated as "Child Welfare
Week" in Morris and parents should
bring their children to the stations
named below on one of the days, when
they will be weighed and measured.
This is to be part of the child well
fare work of the National Council of
Defense. All children under school
age must be brought to the stations
designated.
On Tuesday and Wednesday,, Oct.
1 and 2, the children will be taken care
of at the High School building and on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct.
8, and 5, they will be received at the
Library.
Mrs. C. L. Hemming is chairman of
the committee that has charge of this
work in Stevens county and she re-
quests that all children under school
age be brought. It was the intention
of the committee to have physician
and a trained nurse present to ex-
anime the babies, but on account of
the great demands for doctors and
nurses at this time it may be imposs-
ible to get anyone.
The council of defense is gathering
statistics of all the babies in the United
States as beginning upon which fut-
ure efforts in behalf of the children
will be made. Reports show that one
out of every seven babies die in this
country before they reach the age of
six years, and steps will be taken to
improve this condition.

it has been through the mill. 1t has
