This play was supported by a particu- larly well chosen cast. Miss Irene Wald horst's interpretation of Amanda Afflick was an exquisite piece of acting-the best as yet seen in the Blackfriar repertory. Amanda, pluclSy, forlorn. hungry for love, was an appealing little figure and furnished opportunity for versatile act ing Miss Waldhorsts interpretation even exceeded her finished piece of acting in "The Importance of Being Earnest. Her costume and makeup added much to her. interpretation and her technique was worthy of professional.
 In speaking of 'The Blackfriars' !" or ganixation at the university and what an effective incentive it has proven fin dramatic work. Professor Strode told me a few days ago when he was in Birming- ham some interesting facts about the club, it's organization, it's membership and it's mission.
 with the recent tremendous interest
 in dramatic work, Professor Strode said, which has spread throughout the civilized world, dramatic clubs have srIung I'D at most of the leading uni- ve, sities. Probably the best known ann ateur dramatic organization in the whole south is that at our own state univer- sity. The organization has been known for some years as the Blackfriars. Re- gently the policy of the club was changed and modern drama was given the place of the Shakespearean, and the name of the society was also changed to the Blackfriar players.
 "The Blaekfriars was founded by Prof. Frederick D. Losey in 1907. During his regime at the university" said Professor St tra7a .Shal espeareau plays were pro-

 After Twelfth Night Professor Losey severed his connection with the club, although he coached the actors for their performance in Sharb's Can aida It was as Candida that the Black friars' most beautiful leading lady made her debut. That leading lady was Mary Bacon Duncan, tho neice of Rep resentative W. E. Oliver, and has since become Mrs. Sam Claybaugh," said Professor Strode. "In 1913 again the club produced a Shavian play--the farce comedy You Never Can Tell Miss Duncan played Gloria, with my self in a new type Of role, that of old Champion. In You Never Can Tell Miss Ama Boulet of Mobile achieved a great suoces sin the ingenue as Dolly, and for several. years after Miss Bou- let was the leading player in the club. She made her last apeparance in Bir- of Being Earnest just year ago. After 1913 until I accepted the position left vacant by Professor Losey in 1916, the organization was without q faculty head. In the meantime I had studied the drama at Columbia, and for two years I taught English and drama at the Syracuse university. where I made several productions, besides doing pro fessional reading.

BREAD BAKING CONTEST
HELD LAST SATURDAY
Girls Of Alberta, Morris and Chol
Took Part. Winner to
Fair

The county bread baking contest
was held in the domestic science
room Of the Morris High School last
Saturday, May 1S and girls from
Norris Chokio and Alberta took
part.
Each school bread baking club was
represented by team of its three
best bread bakers, as judged from
previous bakings in the home con-
| test.
Each member had to complete at
least six bakings, some or which were
at home and some in the school DOM
estic science laboratory. These
teams then contested with each other
for the first place in Glass A.
The best bread baker in this class
will represent Stevens county in the
girls camp at the state fair in Sept
ember, free of charge for whole
week. This is a great treat to the
lucky bread baker, besides a splen-
did training.
The Glass A girls are those who
receive instruction in home training
in their school as a regular study
The Glass B girls are those who do
not receive this training.
The Glass A contestants from Cho-
kio were Olga Peterson, Capt.
Florence Marty and Luella Hensch.
From Norris, Mabel Strand, Capt,
Bertha Hansen and Thelma Smith
/ Gn1s
Maude Prickett and Lena Ernst. The
teams showed considerable training
! and each one worked with fine pre-
cision, skill and team spirit. Each
/ girl was nicely uniformed.
! The girls took their first training
in demonstrating as a. team the pro-
cess of baking liberty breads. The
captain explained the different pro-
cesses while the other two members
co-operated and executed directions
This is preparatory to the team dem
onstration work at the state fair.
The best demonstrating team from
this district will go to the state fair
free. Miss Gustafson Of st. Paul
judged the contest
On June 8 the next contest will bs
held at the same place, when the
Class B girls will be judged. They
are also entitled to send their best
baker to the state fair, and as a
team and as individuals they have
the same privileges and honors as
Class A. They will also be judged
as to their best individual baker and
the best team. The Donnelly club ID
a strong team in this class. They
are doing nice work there, being very
business like in the management Of
their club.

DAY SET FOR YOUTHS
OF Fl TO REGISTER
New Law Requires All Who Have
Reached 81 Since June 5 to
Sign Up

Every youth in the United States
who has reached the age of FL years
since June 5, 1917, irrespective of his
nationality, will be required to reg
lister for the draft June 5, 1918, &C
cording to the order issued by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Deferred classifcations for the
new registrants will be along the
same lines as those which have gov
erned the draft boards in their selec-
tion of men for the national army.
Youths already in federal military
or naval service, as in the first regis
tration, will not be required to reg
lister, but it is thought that will be
the only excuse accepted for failure
to comply with the law.
Estimates made by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder indicate that
out of the estimated registration OF
100000 youths fully three-quarters
of them will be found acceptable fo1
military service, while the remand
er will receive deferred classification
for one reason or another.

NEW NATIONAL GUARD
FROM HOME COMP PANIES
Definite Plans Announced for Forma-
ton of Minnesota National
Guard

The Morris Home Guard Company
will not be affected by the forma-
tion of the new Minnesota National
Guard unless unit of the new guard
should be located here.
Definite plans for organization of
the new National guard to replace
units called into federal service will
be adopted about June 20, according
to an announcement made this week
by Adjutant General Rhinow. In
the meantime informal applications
for recognition in the new national
guard will be received from home
guard companies thruout the state
and these may influence decisions as
to the number of regiments and 9TH
er details.
Notices have been sent to home
guard commanders advising them of
the tentative plans and asking consid-
Grafton of the general proposak.
The new national guard will not
disrupt the home guard organization,
it was officially announced, except
that it may be made up largely of
home guard companies. Towns hav-
ing armories will be given preference
when the units are recognized. Mem
bers Of the new national guard will
not gain any exemptions under draft
regulations, but it is not likely that
the new organization will be called
upon for regular war service.

Incomplete Reports Indicate that
Stevens County Will Meet It's
Quota and Go Over
ALBERTA DISTRICT OVER
Donnelly Village First to Report
Over the Top-Townships Doing.
Handsomely

In every township and village of
the county this week committees are
working on the campaign for the
Second Red Cross War Fund of
$1OO,OO0,OO0 and seeking to put
Stevens county over the top with it's
quota of $4,000. What the result of
the campaign will be is still nnde-
termined except that Stevens county
does what it starts out to do, and
reports so far received are encourag
ing.
disastrous wind storm struck
the eastern portion of the county on
Saturday evening and somewhat dis
organized committee work, but the
generous feeling which even those
who sustained heavy losses have
towards the Red Cross appears not
to have abated one whit.
Dr. Whittemore, chairman of the
Donnelly district, reported on Tues
day that Donne1ly village was al
ready over the top with it's quota,
and that the work was progressing
satisfactorily in the townships.
Reports from R. G. Calvert, chair
man of the Chokio district, and
Frank Wilcox, chairman of the Han
cock district, are equally encourag
ing.
port the drive completed, and
Philip Ernst, the chairman for that
district yesterday reported total of
$913.7O from that district, an over
subscription of over 5000 above the
districts quota.
In the Morris district, Chairman
J. J. Gaffney has active committees
at work in the townships, and eight
committees in the city. Only three
or four of these committees have
checked in, but all report generous
response to the call of the Red Cross
and there is every reason to believe
that the city and the townships will
be proud of their records. The town
ship of Morris has already reported
in $227.50, and one of the commit
tees of Framnas township has re-
ported in $3.50, generous over
subscription. Something over $2100
is already reported as either pledged
or collected in the city, and there
are several streets yet to be heard
from
eve can't give too much to the
Red Cross is the remark which the
solicitors hear time and again.
Those who for one reason or an
other are missed by the solicitors may
make their pledge or donation direct
ly to S. A. Siverts, Treasurer, at the
Citizens Bank, or to J. J. Gaffney,
district chairman, or J. G.. Morrison,

Committee Arranges Suitable Plans
for Observing Memorial
Day
GOOD SPEAKER SECURED
School Children, Band, Home Guards
and Citizens Will Take
Part

Memorial Day will be fittingly OBJ
served in Morris this year and great
er effort than ever is being made to
make it a great memorable, patriotic
occasion. The names of the brave
heroes of the COS, living or dead,
should be held in respect by every
one every day of the year, but it is a
duty and pleasure to join together
to pay homage in unison on May 80.
Each year the ranks of the living
veterans are more sparse than they
were the year before, which adds to
the solemnity of the day set apart to
honor them for the tremendous sa-
crifices they made in their prime for
their country.
The City of Morris will make Mem
orial Day this year great patriotic
occasion and the entire country is
urged to take part. The program of
the day will begin at 10 a. M, when
a parade will be formed at the ar
mory. The parade will go west to
Main street, south to 5th street and
then east to the cemetery This will
be headed by the Morris band, the
members of the G.. A. r. riding, the
Home Guards and the school chill
dren. At the cemetery the old SOL
diers will have charge of the cere-
mony and salute will be fired over
the graves by the Morris Home
Guards, according to military Gus
tom. Captain p. L. Spooner of the
Home Guard will be grand marshal
of the day. An address will be given
by Supt. Utne and invocation by
Rev Wilcox This will conclude the
program for the morning.
In the afternoon big parade will
be the feature, and every town and
township in the county is urged to
participate in this. This will be
headed by the band followed by the
mayor of the city and the city COM
missioners. Next will come the old
soldiers and then the Home Guards
and school children. 1t is expected
that there will be number of patri-
otic floats in this parade. After the
floats everyone who has purchased
Liberty Bonds will be asked to get
in the line of march. The parade
will go to the farm school where the
exercises of the afternoon will be
held An exhibition drill by the
Home Guard will be given at 2:30
and program will be given on the
campus at 800 O'Clock. Mayor
Geenty will preside. Selections will
be rendered by the Stevens County
band and the Home Guard quartette.
Invocation will be offered by Rev.
Andrew Olson and member of the
G.. A. r. will read the general orders.
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech will also
be given and an address will be made
by James A.. Larson, assistant secre-
| tary of state.
The Memorial Day service will
mean more to Morris this year than
ever, first because the world is en-
gagged in the greatest war of history
and second because two of the Stew
ems county boys who have gone to
enter the service have already given
their lives.
