SCHOOL NURSE NOW
WORKING In COUNTY
At Hancock for Two Weeks and Will
Then Come to Morris and Other .
Points

One of the demonstration nurses
sent out by the Minnesota Public
Health Association is now at Han
cock doing school nursing for two
weeks or possibly longer. The school
board at Hancock arranged with the
Public Health Association to hire
her services outright for two weeks
or more. This association is the one
which sends out nurses as prizes to
communities selling a certain amount
of Red Cross Christmas seals, and
when the nurse completes her work
at Hancock, she will come to Morris
to fill her prize engagement here, the
public and parochial schools here
having won her services for II days
in the recent sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals. County work will
also be arranged for following the
engagement at Morris, various schools
about the county being entitled to
her services for about two weeks.
Some of the school children who
were so successful in selling seals as
to win silver and gold buttons have
not yet received them, but Mrs J. c..
Morrison, who was in charge of the
work, has received word from state
headquarters that these supplies will
be sent as soon as they are received
from the National Organization.

DISTRICT COURT DOING
BUSINESS THIS WEEK
Several Cases Already Disposed of
Some Being Settled Out of
Court

The District Court for Stevens
county has been in session this week
and up until yesterday noon the en-
tire time was taken up with the case
of John Pfefferle VS. the Great
Northern Railroad Company. This
was case where Mr.. Pfefferle fell
from a motor car and injured his
left leg in such a way that he claims
he has not been able to work since
The case was finally decided in favor
of the Railroad Company after the
jury had been out for fifteen hours
Attorneys Mangan and Ormond re-
presented Mr.. Pfefferle and Attor-
neys M. L. Countryman and A. L..
James represented the railroad. The
next case to be tried was that of
John Christ VS.. the Keating Land
and Mortgage Company
The case of Atonye Wasieck
against H. J. Jacobson, as deputy
sheriff of Stevens county was strick-
en- off the calendar. Three cases were
settled out of court, that of E. W.
Peck VS.. Adams Land Co.; T. J. Man
gan VS.. Great Northern Railroad Co. !;
and L. l.. Hanse VS.. The County of
Stevens and the Board of County
Commissioners.

Great Northern Railway Co. was
settled out of court for $1,25O. Mr..

full ejectment and malicious prose-
cution. On May %, 1917, Mr.. Man
gan was elected from Great North
ern train at Willmar, arrested and
after getting released on bail had to

ALIENS REGISTER AND
GIVE THEIR HISTORY
Many Found Who Have Been Voting
for Years and Serving in Public
Office

City Manager Siverts put in sew
eral busy days last week registering
aliens, other than male Germans, in
compliance with the order of the
State Public Safety Commission.
Clerks of the different townships al
so looked after the matter of registra-
tion in their township.
Each alien was required to answer
35 questions and after they got thru
there was not much left to be said
their lifes history and their present
standing and possessions in the COM
munity all being down in black and
white.
One of the things that this regis
tration brought to light was the fact
that many aliens had been voting for
years, either because they thought
they had become citizens or else on
account of carelessness or ignorance.
This is a direct violation of the law
but it will probably be overlooked at
this time as most of these aliens have
been good citizens and law abiding
and no doubt will become full
fedged citizens at the first opportun-
ity.
The total of registrants in Stevens
county was 232. They came from the
following villages and townships:
Moore 0, Hodges II, Framnas g.,
Swan Lake 5, Horton z, Darnen g.,
Morris Township 0, Rendsville g.,
Synnes 16, Scott 10, Pepperton, A.,
Donnelly 9, Stevens 8, Baker 2, Ever
glade 2, Eldorado 9, City of Morris

ST. MARY'S TO GIVE
A NEW PASSION PLAY
Mgr. Benson's Drama, ''The Upper
Room" to be Given in Morris on
March 10

1.-The Upper ROOM" drama Of
Christ's passion written by Mgr Ro-
bert Hugh Benson, will be presented
in the Assumption church Hall,
March 10, at p. m. by the students
of st. Mary's High School. 1t is a
sacred drama in three acts, to be
presented by a cast of twelve char
acters, assisted by male chorus.
The production of this play is in
tended to bring home to all who see
it the lessons taught by the sufferings
and death of our Divine Lord
That these lessons can be power
fully taught by a passion play is well
known through the example of the
world-famous Play of Oberammergau
In composing a passion play for
presentation on simpler scale,
however, Mgr. Benson has wisely
chosen to make it suggestive rather
than realistic. The success of his
effort has been amply proven by the
manner in which tsThe Upper Room
has been received in many centers in
the East, such as New York, Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis. St. Mary's School is the first
to present the play in the state Of
Minnesota, though it is to be pres
ented in St. Paul during the week
Of March 18th, Few, however, viii
be able to see it there, and fewer still
will ever have the happy opportunity
of seeing Christ's Passion played as
it is in Oberammergau. But here is
an opportunity Of seeing at home
what many would go great distances
to see.
This sacred play is being presented
with all the dignity 1t deserves, and
with careful attention to costume
and scenic effects. The cast has been
carefully chosen and is in the hands
Of competent direction. This passion
play will be a credit to Morris.
After the play there will be num-
ber Of stereopticon views Of famous
paintings taken from the life OF
Christ.

Departments of Local Red
Gross Chapter |

Mrs. J. w. Harris, chairman OF the
knitting department of the local

the Minneapolis headquarters urg-
ing knitters to produce as many
socks as possible, as the demand far

time. Mrs. Harris says, eff you are
making sweaters or doing any other

your work is not appreciated or that
the sweaters are not wanted, but we
are asked to concentrate on socks
and our efforts should be along this
line in order to supply the urgent
demand. Call and get material if
you can knit socks, and if you can't,
then embrace the opportunity to get
free lessons in making them. Some
of the expert knitters will be at
headquarters to help you every Tues
day and Friday afternoon
The knitting department of the
local chapter made a shipment last
Saturday to the division headquart-
ers consisting of articles made by the
chapter and also the Junior Red
Cross. The shipment contained:
One Refugee Afghan
Ninety-three Sweaters
Four Scarfs
Thirty-four Wristlets

The Surgical Dressings depart
ment also made a shipment during
the past week consisting, Of $3.50
gauze sponges two inches square.
These sponges were made by the To-
cal chapter, the Junior Red Cross and
the Hancock chapter. 1900 of the
sponges came from Hancock, 1900

ANOTHER OLD SETTLER
GONE TO LAST REWARD
M. F. Finnegan, Postmaster of Nor
ris, Dies While on Trip to
California

Word was received in Morris Sun
day of the death of M. F. Finnegan
which occurred in Los Angeles that
morning. The news came as COM
plete surprise to the relatives and
friends of Mr.. Finnegan as it was
thought he was getting much better
and enjoying fairly good health.
Mrs. Finnegan had received a letter
from her husband on Saturday, writ
ten four days before from San Diego
in which he stated that he was feel
ing fine and able to get around with
out any trouble. He had gone West
on account of poor health a few
weeks ago and expected to get much
better by the change. The message
did not state the cause of Mr.. Finne-
gan's death and no word other than
the telegram has been received.
Mr.. Finnegan was one of the Oldest
and most respected citizens of Stev-
ems county, having located here in
1876, AZ years ago, settling at that
time on farm in Synnes township.
10
Aug. Is, 1855, and was honored as
one of the territorial pioneers. For
"A years he farmed in Synnes and in
1900 he moved to Morris and has
made his home here ever since. For
many years Mr.. Finnegan was in the
real estate business here and also
bought and sold horses and hay. He
was appointed as Postmaster of the
City of Morris in August 1913, hav-
ing served one term and recently re-
ceived his appointment for the Sec
ond term. He was one Of the most
prominent Democrats of the county
and for many years was a member
of the state central committee.
During the years that Mr.. Finne-
gan was resident of this county he
took an active part in business af-
fairs. He was one of the first county
commissioners, has been a member of
