RED CROSS TO MOVE
INTO NEW QUARTERS
Local Chapter Has Outgrown Present
Building and Needs More
Room

The work of the Morris Red Cross
has grown to such proportions that
the present quarters are now too
small and in order to carry on the
work properly larger quarters are
necessary. Mr.. p. L. Spooner recent
ly made the local chapter an offer
of the free use of his building be-
tween the post Office and the Weum-
Belverud store and the executive
committee has availed themselves of
this offer and will move the first of
June. This will make much larger
and better quarters and will also be
on the shady side of the street. The
Red Cross greatly appreciates the
kindness Of Mr.. Spooner in giving
the building free of rent.
At the request of Mr.. Utne. chair
man of the Stevens County Auxiliary
of the Junior Red Cross, Mrs. Thorpe
went to the High School last week
to arrange to take over the junior
work for the summer by the Senior
chapter. She was accompanied to
the school by Mrs. P. Miller, who
gave an interesting talk on the ne
cessity of surgical dressings. Mrs.
Miller will act as chairman of the
junior work thru the summer.
Mrs. Halgren has been made
chairman of the children's refugee
work and Mrs. Harris will take
charge of the children who are COM
petent to knit sweaters and socks
and they will be under her supervi-
sion. The response of the children
in this work has been remarkable.

BIG DRIVE FOR WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS JUNE 6
Quota is About Two Thirds of That
For Liberty Loan.-An At
.w tractive Security

Every citizen of this county will
have a patriotic duty to perform
during War Savings Pledge Week
from June 9Th to 18th, by subscrib-
ing for as many of these government
securities as he can stand, these to
be purchased on a weekly or monthly
basis during the balance of this year.
This is the declaration made by John
w. Harris, chairman of the Stevens
County War Savings Stamp Commit
tee today.
"This county must be among the
leaders in reaching its quota of War
Savings Stamp Sales" he said. "Too
many persons have looked upon the
War. Savings Campaign as mere
child's play when the reverse is on
~ too true. 1t is an investment that
belongs to every man, woman and
child in this county and one that is
backed by the unlimited resources
of the government.
cit should be remembered that
buying War Stamps is not gift.
They represent a demand security in
the United States that pays four per-
cent interest, compounded quarterly,
and which cannot sell below par.
Although such practice is discour-
aged, War Stamps can be redeemed
at local postofices on ten days no
tice, plus the accrued interest. In
other words, they may be placed in
almost the same class as interest
paying currency and are just as sta
pie.
"Minnesota's quota is $47,0OO,0O0
about two-thirds the allotment of
the Third Liberty Loan, which, in
itself, shows the enormous task con-
fronting us in order to sell out the
quota the Treasury has apportioned
as our share for aiding in financing
the war. Every person in this
county, by saving from non-essential
expenditures, can buy his quota Of
War Savings Stamps this year with
out feeling any undue burden by do
ing so. He also will be buying the
finest possible security and thereby
be adding to his income"
