American Proves Grit.

When IN American is told that any
thing is impossible his impulse is to
try to do it without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be interested, in
the story OF a member OF the Ameri-
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta-
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used it in looping the
loop-a dangerous evolution, on ac-
count of its peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, well
up In the blue" the aviator had start
cd to perform the feat and made FIVE
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking, "Why did
you do it?' and the aviator replied "A
Frenchman told me it could not be
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made a favorable impress
sion on the officer, and that he related
It with admiration in proof of the fine
spirit Of the fellows the United States
is sending across the Atlantic TO hold
up Uncle Sans end of the world war.

of Morris will consolidate in the near
future and the business all transacted
at the Great Northern depot. N. p,
trains will also run into the Great
Northern depot. Just how soon the
change will be made is not known,
but it is almost certain to be made
as men were here this week getting
the wires transferred from the N. p.
to the G. NJ. depot.
This change will be made to con,

at the Great Northern Depot will be
able to handle the business now
transacted by both depots. This
means that Agent Powers will be

SOLDIER BOYS TRIP u.

W. E. Maughan Has Great Expert
ences on Way Over and Tells
of Them

One of the most interesting letters
from a soldier published for long
time appears below. This is from
w. e. Maughan to his grandfather,
w. L. Colyer The letter is full of
interesting experiences and tells of
his trip from the time he started un-
til he landed across:
yesterday marked exactly a per-
iod of six months since I scrambled
up the steps of the enrolment build
ing in Washington, D. c., and learned
that physically, mentally, morally
and duly permitted by certain draft
board of Davenport I could become
a wearer of the blue, instead of what
seemed for certain time possibil-
ity of wearing the more popular
the khaki. And so with hurried
departure they hurry you SO it makes
one believe he really is vital COM

tion where you find three or four

of that station will never be forgot

of putting up ones hammock, to find

OTTER TAIL COMPANY
WANT TO RAISE RATES
War Conditions and Lack of Water
Power Given as Reason for
Request

On account of war conditions and
the fact that there is not enough
water to run their plants, the Otter
Tail Power Company, which supplies
current to the city of Morris, wants
to raise their rates and are asking
the city commission to give them
permission to raise them rs per cent.
This company has a contract with
the city of Morris to supply current
at certain price, which they claim
is based on peace times and on water
power to run their plants On ac-
count of the drought in 1917 the
lakes and streams dried up and there
is not now sufficient water to run
the plants, which means that the
steam plants are being run to supply
current. The system of the Otter
Tail Company is purely water pow
er proposition and they claim their
rates were based on this. War
prices of all materials, supplies and
labor have also increased the ex-
penses far in excess of what they
were under peace conditions.
The contract with the city expires
September 1st, but the city has
the right to renew it for five years
on the same terms. Whether or not
they will grant the company the
right to increase their rates will be
decided during the next week or two.
A meeting of the Commercial Club
will be called soon to discuss this
matter and it is likely that some in
crease will be allowed, probably TO
apply only when the company uses
coal instead Of water for power, and
not to be a permanent increase.
