gun bullets in his right arm and
was therefore lnCapaCited from
further fighting. He says his
arm did not hurt him very much
and he had succeeded in pulling
a string from his le3pinS with
which he rendered first aid.
About this time he began to feel
quite sick and a Red Cross angel
of mercy picked him up and as
sisted him to the hospital, where
it was found necessary to am
putate his arm. Mr.. Witte was
greeted by a packed house, and
after a preliminary program OF
patriotic songs, short addresses
by G. n. Leedom and States At
torney EaSthouSe, Mr.. Witte took
the floor and for an hour he told
of his experience in warfare, and
how the boys enjoy going over
the top. Mr.. Witte lost a brother
in the same battle in which he
was injured. He says that while
he is manned for life, he is more
than glad that he went and done
all he could for democracy. AS a
relic of the Battle, he exhibited a
Hun helmet, which is made Of
steel and is worn as a protection
against falling shells and schrap-
nell. AT the conclusion OF the
program a SumptuouS spread was
served at Hotel DaCOtah, where
200 guests did justice to the good
things to eat.
Without a question, this meet
ing with the crippled soldier boy,
will solidify the feeling of anti
pathy towards Kizer Bill and his
people. Mr.. Witte is strongly of
the opinion that the German peO-
pie must have a severe and sound
and then should be Os-
trocised by all civilized nations
for the ruthless manner IN which |
they have treated women and |
children during this war.

CHARGE TO BE MADE FOR NOV
ING AND INSTALLING TELE-
PHONES

The telephone company has received
an order from the postmaster general
of the United States, under whose jur-
isdiction the telephone companies have
been placed during the war, notifying
it to charge for installing new tele-
phones, and also to have subscribers pay
the cost of moving their telephones.
Installation charges ordered are as
follows: Where the monthly rate is
$500 or less, $500; where the rate is
more than $500, but not exceeding $4:0o
a month, $1,000, and where the rate is
more than $4.0O month, $500.
The charge to subscribers for moving
telephones from one location to another
will be the cost Of labor and material
necessary for making the change.
We understand that many protests
are being made relatives to these charg-
es, and a modification is likely. No
doubt the plan originated with the COM
Danies themselves,

SCHOOL IN SESSION
ENROLMENT SMALLER THAN
LAST YEAR, MOSTLY DUE TO
-: ENLISTNiENTS

The schools Of the city opened for
the 191s-1919 season on Sept. II with
the following enrollments for each
school: High school, 240; Central, 2s4; E;
Hawthorne, 1856; Lincoln, 208; Colum-
bia, 149. The attendance at the high
school this year was not as great as it
has been the past two years, due to so
many of the high school boys having
enlisted during the summer months and
also because there are a large number
Of farmer boys who are still at home
helping with the harvesting Of the
crops.
Physical training classes are being
organized under the supervision Of
Frank Hall and Miss Nell Garrett. Mr..
Hall will have charge Of the boys
classes, both of the high school and ju-
nior high. He also teaches manual
training to the junior high school boys.
Miss Garrett has charge of the girls
physical training classes Of both the
high and Junior high. The football
team for. this season will be organized
at an carly date.
The teachers are arranging for pic
mic to be held III the pine grove park
this evening. The Board of Educa-
ton and their wives will picnic with
them as their guests.
"A large number of school boys have
been staying out of school to work as
potato pickers for different farmers
Beginning g this week no boys will be
allowed to work on farms unless they
get an excuse from Mr.. Dobbyn. After
Sept. 30 no more excuses will be allow.
ed boys to work in the potato fields.

OUR COUNTY FAIR
ATTENDANCE AND EXHIBITS
ER-ACCOUNT OF WEATH-
ER-EXHIBITs VERY GOOD

The exhibits at the county fair this
year, although smaller in number than
usual, were Of a high standard and
were good sample of what the people
of the county have been doing during
the past year and growing season.
The first day of the fair was given
over largely to the checking and placing
Of the exhibits. The second day, Sun
day, brought forth trife overal800
people, about half Of the number in
attendance on Sunday last year. The
attendance the remaining two days was
good, but did not come up to the at
tendance Of last year. The proceeds,
however, were greater. The smaller
crowds in attendance was probably due
to the inclemency Of the weather that
has prevailed the past week and also it
must be taken into consideration that
the farmers are buster at this time of
the year than usual, due to the heavy
war crops the farmers have put in.
The number Of exhibits fell off this
year in all departments except the ag-
ricultural department. which contained a
larger amount of exhibits than in 1917.
Following is the amount Of exhibits,

WAR CHEST
ARMY WEI.FARE AGENCIES DRIVE
IN N0VEMBER-E.J. j. RICHIE
CHAIRMAN

A national War Chest drive, which
will take care Of the financial end Of
the recreational activities of the war,
such as the Y. NJ. C. A., Y. w. G. A.,
American Library association, Knights
of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board and
the War Camp Community service, will
be made starting Nov. II and the money
will be raised in one lump for all the
organizations represented in the War
Chest. The money is to be raised by
the Liberty loan committees and will be
distributed to each organization accord
ing to it's equipment in war work. E.
j. Richie of this city has been appointed
chairman for Morrison county.
The drive will start in Minnesota
with luncheon at the Minnesota club
in st. Paul on Nov. II at which Sher-
wood Eddy, who has recently returned
from the battle front in France, Russia
and other places will give an address.
An organization of this kind should
be subscribed to as freely as any other
war activity, as it deals entirely with
the recreational and religious side of a
soldiers life and helps wonderfully in
strengthening his morals.

CAL DEALERS ATTEND MEET.
ING IN MINNEAPOLIS

A conference of the coal dealers of
the state was held in Minneapolis the
latter part of last <week and was at
tended by Fuel Administrator of Nor
rson count, J. X. Martin, and local
fuel dealers W. H. Ryan, Julius Jetka,
G.. H. Enke and z. N. Barnes. Mr..
Barnes represented the different branch
yards of the Morrison County Lumber
company, who handle coal. Charles L.
Rhoda. local fuel administrator Of Roy
alton and A. C. Bouck represented Roy
alton at the meeting and Charles p.
Gravel represented Picrz and Genola.
The dealers met with the State Fuel
Administrator, who made allotments in
regards to the amount Of hard coal each
town can have. All people who can
burn soft instead Of hard coal in their
stoves or furnaces arc urged to do 80.
Only those not able to use other fuel,
will be allowed hard coal. The govern
ment has taken over all the Pocahontas
coal in the country which they are using
mixed with hard coal to fire the ships
of the navy. They also use this grade
of coal in firing munition plants.
Unless there is great economy in the
use of coal or unless wood is substituted
to largo extent, the present fuel sup
ply will not last until spring.

There will be no change in the Of
! ficers Of the company until I; meeting
of the stockholders in October. Mr..
Gordon, who has been general manager
Of the company for many years, will
continue as manager, which will be
pleasing to Mr.. Gordon s many friends.
There is to be no particular change
in the policy Of the company at this
time, it is stated. Extension lines will
be built where business Judgment seems
! to warrant, but on account of the war,
extensions are not likely to be made
for some time. Should this outside bus
mess tax the local power plant, it is
planned to bring into use the dam site
at Pike Rapids, which is also included
in the sale. However, at the October
meeting of the new stockholders, the
matter Of policy, we understand, will
be one Of first consideration.
| Some Of the material to be used in
the building Of the west wing of the
dam with concrete, is being shipped and
the work will be started as soon as pos
sible.
It is stated that the finances neces-
sary for the dam improvement was tho
main factor in the sale Of the plant.

9TH LIBERTY LOAN
SAFETY COMMISSION CAN INVEST
IGATE REASON FOR NOT
BUYING ALLOTMENT
(Press COmmittee)

The new order No. a. of the war
board, empowers directors Of the safety
commission IN every county to sub
poena witnesses and compel them to
testify regarding the financial condi-
tion Of any citizen refusing to take
the amount Of Liberty Bonds allotted to
him by the local campaign committee.
It was adopted after reports from
many counties which showed such re-
fusals and pointed to the lack of au-
thority to take action against the al
legged slackers.
The government plan Of buying bonds
is better for the farmers and business
men, than borrowing the money outright
Of your banker. By buying on the gov
ernment plan, each bond-buyer can pay
in installments so that in four or five
months his bond is entirely paid up.
To buy by the government plan, when
you go to the polls on September 2Sth
to buy your bond, pay down at time, 10
per cent of your allotment, then you can
pay 90 per cent on November q, 90
per cent on December l9, 20 per cent on
January 16 and 80 per cent on January
sc.
Another good thing about buying
bonds on the installment plan from the
government is that you pay the same
rate of interest ON deferred payments
as the bond bears.
This is a democratic affair, and is
one of the reasons why you will be
asked to go to your polling place. II
you are not prepared to pay down II
per cent, sign your card and make ar
rangements with your banker, but, az
far as possible buy your bonds on the
Installment or Government plan.
