i NEW REGISTERED MEN
CAN VOLUNTEER NOW
May Offer Services For July Cali
and Not Wait to Go Later
On

AT the present time there are no
men left in Glass one in Stevens
county except those engaged in farm
work and they are needed badly to
help harvest the present crop. A
call will be made in a short time
for men and unless some men who
recently registered offer their serv-
ices it will be necessary to take the
men from the farms.
This is a serious matter and farm
ers and farm helpers should certain
ly be retained until the present crop
is cut and threshed. The only way
this can be done is for men who can
get away that registered this year
to volunteer their services for the
July call and not wait until their
turn comes later. If they do this
the agricultural help can be retained
and the new registered men will be
doing their country greater service
than if they wait month or two.
Any men just registered who wish
to go with the next call should noti-
fy the local board that they are
ready and glad to help in this seri-
GUS situation.

The Morris Commercial Club held
a special meeting on Tuesday eve
ming and adopted resolution urging
the senators and congressman to use
their influence with President Wilson
not to veto the bill providing for
$2.40 wheat The action of the club
was wired to Washington, and the
foregoing telegram was received
from Senator Nelson.
The meeting was we'll attended and
representative. Vice-President Vinje
presided. The following is the resolu-
ton ia full which was read by
Secretary Stever, and after very little
discussion showing that it met with
unanimous approval was unanimous
" adopted. The resolution follows:
"Whereas, Congress of the United
States has, by an Act Of that body,
fixed the price to be paid for wheat
at the local elevator, at the sum Of
$2.40 per bushel, and
whereas, we, the members of the
Commercial Club of the City Of Nor
ris, believe that such price IS but
just and equitable to the producer in
view of the greatly advanced prices
of farm machinery, labor and twine,
and at the same time will still afford
to the consumer the cheapest bread
produceable from grains, and
whereas, we desire to extend to
our Government our unstinted devo-
tion, and our undivided assistance
in it's prosecution Of this war for the
liberation of the world, and recogniz-
ing that in the successful conduct
of our war, food is an absolute ne
cessity, and that it's production
should not only be encouraged but
should be rewarded with fair mar
gin of profit to the farmers. and

TRI-STATE TELEPHONE
COMPANY IS NO MORE
Ceased to Exist in Morris July First
Northwestern Handles
Business ts9

On Monday, July list, the transfer
of the properties and business of the
Tri-State Telephone Company of this
city to the Northwestern Telephone
Company was consumated and Nor
ris henceforth will have but one
telephone system. The Northwestern
company took charge of the tele-
phone business of this city on the
date mentioned and have moved into
the Tri-State building and cut over
all their lines to enter that Office.
The old Northwestern Office has been
vacated and all business will be done
at the fine quarters formerly owned
and occupied by the Tri-State peo-
pie.
Morris people will be glad to know
that Manager Abel will be retained
at Morris and have entire charge of
the Northwestern business in the
district covering the territory from
Herman to Benson and from Cyrus
to Chokio. His new title will be
will have one or two men to do all
the outside work and make repairs
on the lines. All of the young ladies
employed by both companies will be
retained, as the combined work will
require their services.
There will be many advantages
under the new arrangement. ALI
long distance calls can now be con-
nected direct with the residences or
business houses and long distance
calls to any part of the United States
can be made direct from a residence
or Office without having to walk to
the central Office, as was necessary
before when a call came over the
Northwestern and the party called
happened to have a local Tri-State
phone. The new system will
also eliminate one phone in. the
places where there were two phones
before and this will cut the expense
of telephone rent.
The work of connecting the wires
of the Northwestern system with
those of the Tri-State is no easy job
and patrons should have patience
if the service does not~seems as good
as formerly. The young ladies from
the Northwestern Office have to be-
come familiar with the new autom-
attic service used in the Tri-State
building, while those from the Tri-
State office have to learn new codes
which were used by the Northwest
ern company.

Boys And Girls Of Steoens County
Are Actiue In Garden Club Work

Mr.. Grafelman showed them several
reels of educational and comic mo-
ton pictures. The Chokio club work
shows a very healthy condition, in
deed. There are six clubs at Cho-
kio.
| The Alberta clubs held their joint
meeting in the afternoon of June 26.
The president of the garden club,
Vivian Foster, presided. The secret
ary of the bread baking club, Celia
Loher, acted as secretary. Some parts
of the program were selections by the
victrola, piano duets, talk by Supt.
McClintock of Chokio, talk by Mr..
Grafelman, salute to the flag, Am
erica and the national prayer and
several reels of motion pictures. The
meeting was very we'll attended. AL
berta has four clubs.
Eleven of the Alberta gardeners
have their gardens on the grounds of
the consolidated school, in all about
II acres. They are anxious to have
their gardens compare we'll with the
excellent gardens of other towns of
the county.
1t is gratifying to see that practi-
cally every club member considers
his or her work in producing food
for our beloved country as a high
patriotic duty, knowing fully well
that flood will win the war" Mr..
Grafelman was not able to find a
single really weedy garden in all Of
the clubs that he has inspected and
reported to the government.
The city of Morris has 10S boys
and girls gardens. These gardens
will be inspected and reported within
the next week. Judging from the
gardens already inspected, the Nor
ris gardens will compare very well,
indeed, with those of any other part
of the county. Morris is not known
to do things by halves, especially
when 1t comes to doing their best"
for victory of the land of the Stars
and Stripes. Full reports of junior
Norris will be found in the Tribune
in the near future. .
/, In all there are about $50 club
members enrolled at the present time
in Stevens county. This is very
good beginning, especially when it
is realized that it. was not possible
to begin this work at an earlier time
in the spring and winter. 1t is hoped
that next year eur county will have
d membership of 500 or 500.
The pledgesof all the clubs. is, IT
consecrate my head, my heart, my
hands and, my health, through food
production, and food conservation, to
help win the world war and world
peace"

UNNECESSARY LIGHTS
WILL BE CURTAILED
Store! Window Electric Advertising
to be Restricted-Less Light
in Homes

The Fuel Administration author
ICES the following:
The order of the United States
Fuel Administration curtailing un-
necessary lighting, which will go in
to effect shortly is far-reaching. It
forbids wasteful practices in outdoor
lighting and especially illumination
during the daylight hours AS now
proposed, the order restricts display
illumination, store window illumina-
tion, electric advertising, and other
forms of lighting which in ordinary
times are considered legitimate mer-
chandising propaganda, to four
nights week in the Eastern States,
where coal is particularly short, and
to two nights week in other parts
of the country.
The new Eighties night" order is
to be followed by another order, in
preparation, establishing rules for
lighting and heating large public
buildings, including Office buildings,
hotels, and apartment houses. These
regulations will reduce the present
practice very considerably.
The public will be asked at the
same time to reduce lighting in
homes.
A survey of the lighting and heat
ing practices of the country has
shown that a change to a war stand
ard of economy will save the country
from a very disastrous fuel shortage
the coming winter, and when all Of
the regulations which have been
passed upon by the Fuel Administra-
ton as reasonable and necessary are
in full effect and the public has been
aroused to its share in the work of
Of conserving fuel, the United States
as a nation will have taken long
step forward stripping for war"

PRUSSIA PROVED AS
MENACE TO WORLD
University Of Michigan Professor
Traces Steps in History Lead
ing to Prussian idea

Tracing the steps in history by
which Prussia came to be the world
menace, William A. Prayer, associ-
ate professor Of history in the Uni
versity of Michigan, spoke to an in
terested audience of summer session
students at the agricultural school
last Friday morning, Friday evening
and Saturday morning. Many citi-
zens of Morris attended the lectures
and pronounced them the best that
have been given in Morris on the war.
Mr.. Prayer, who was for several
years a student in German universi-
ties, and who has been a frequent
visitor to Germany since in connec-
tion with the bureau of university
travel of Boston, traced the develop
ment of the Prussion delusion and
the rise Of the Hohenzollern family.
'"The war began by treachery,' =
declared Mr.. Prayer, "and the de-
claration Of war was based on two
absolute lies" Continuing, the
speaker warned the audience not to
be misled by the report so often
heard that Germany is. about to
collapse from within and that the
government will be overthrown by
a revolution. "The German people,
he declared, "have the worst cause
in the world, but they believe in It
utterly; Americans have. as righteous
q cause as a nation can ever have,
but we have BEEN lukewarm and are
only beginning to wake up to what
our cause means"
According to the speaker the war
is fast resolving itself into a struggle
between Germany as the represents
tive Of the most autocratic Of ideals
and the United States as the chief
representative Of democratic form
Of government. That Germany Is to
be pitied because the nation has gone
mad with delusion and self-conceit
is the opinion of Mr.. Prayer. The
nation Is morally bankrupt, he de-
clared, and will never occupy the
place it held four years ago.
Mr.. Prayer is delivering series
of lectures on the war before the
summer schools in the state of Min
nesota under the auspices Of the Ma
tional Security league.

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
 DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable rem edy for colds, sore throat and Ia grippe For years they have depend ed chiefly upon the old style calomel, which is certainly fine, but unfor- tunately many people would not take it because of it's nauseating and dan gerous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chemists have perfected a nausealess calomel, called 'Calotabs," whose medicinal virtues are vastly improv- ed, the doctors |, and druggists are claiming that Galotabs are the ideal remedy to abort cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat or la grippe. They are also finding it most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonia.
 One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow Of wcter-that's s all No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eat ing or your work and pleasure. The next morning your cold has vanished and your whole system is purified and refreshed. Calotabs a~c sold only in original sealed packages; price, 8 cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees them by refunding the price if you are not delighted.
