After % years of faithful service
as the pastor of the Norwegian Luth-
eran church in Scandia, Rev. A. o.

without their own congregations,

tinct loss to the community. The
best wishes of all will accompany

ENCAMPMENT FOR HOME
GUARDS DURING JULY
Morris Home Guards Will Join With
Other Companies of Ninth Bat
talli0n

An encampment of the Ninth Bat.
tallion of Home Guards will be held
at Fergus Falls on July 4, 5, 6, z,
companies from Morris, Moorhead,
Fergus Falls and Breckenridge to
take part. This encampment is for
the purpose of giving the members
of the Ninth Battalion more inten-
sive drill and training and to make
them more proficient in the duties
which they may be called upon to
perform.
The Home Guards of Minnesota
were organized when the State Mill
tia was mustered into the Federal
service so that the state would not
be without armed protection. State
officials recognized the need of some
sort of armed guard to protect the
state within and the Home Guard
companies were therefore organized.
At the present time there are about
70 companies in the state of Mime
sofa and each and every company is
subject to the order of the Governor
and is governed by the Military Code
of 1917 and the laws passed by the
Minnesota Legislature. These laws
are very strict and conform with
those governing the regular army.
The Morris company is one of the
best in the state and is well equipped
with the new regulation Home Guard
uniforms. Every man in the COM
pany has a complete cotton O. D. uni
form and wool uniforms have been
ordered for use in the cold weather.

TEACHERS TRAINING
SCHOOL AT MORRIS
State Department Announces Sum
mer Session from June II to
July 26

The State Department of Educa-
tion announces that a Teachers
Training School will be held at the
West Central School of Agriculture
at Morris this year. The school will
open June II and close July 26. A
strong faculty has been selected and
the State Department anticipates a
very profitable summer session. The
shortage of teachers offers unusual
opportunities to those who can pre-
pare to teach. Salaries of trained
teachers are increasing and the de-
mand far exceeds the supply. The
Morris school is very conveniently
situated and offers splendid accom-
modations. The dormitories are well
equipped and beautifully located. No
tuition will be charged for all teach
ers living in Minnesota. In addition
to the class room work, there will be
many features of special interest.
Able speakers on the vital issues Of
the day will give teachers an oppor-
tunity to receive first hand informa-
tion concerning the war. Food con-
servation, etc., will also be given
much attention. The gymnasium,
play grounds, tennis courts and
beautiful walks and drives offer
many opportunities for recreation.
Information concerning the summer
session and the bulletin may be Sc
cured by writing to the Registrar,
West Central School Of Agriculture,

was $93.9O, or zoe per capita. The
total purchases Of savings and thrift
stamps sold in the schools since the
campaign began in January is
$907.75, or $2.25 per capita. The
pupils in the 5th and 9Th grades in
the Longfellow building have made
the best showing, their per capita
amount since the sales began being
$500. This indicates that the young
er pupils are buying more of the
thrift stamps than those in the upper
grades. Less money has been spent
for candy during the past three
months and the youngsters are doing
their share to help finance the war.
