my personal salary, which have not
done for a long time I have prac-
tically given the entire year to the
government and many days have
worked IA to 16 hours"

cured the wedding of Harold E. Free
man, son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Free
man, to Miss Bessie Olive Hawks,
second daughter of Mr.. C. F. Hawks,
who lives on the Barrett farm two
miles south of town. The ceremony
was performed at the home of the
brides father by the Rev. G.. l..
Powell D. D., pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, this city.
The bride was fittingly gowned in
blue satin trimmed with tan ecru
SONS in her hair, with a bouquet
of the same in her bodice. During
the ceremony the young couple stood
under a canopy surmOunted by a
large marriage bell, and on either
side were drappings Of white and
blue paper leading to the floor. The
groom was attended by Miss Joyce
Freeman, while the best man was Roy
S. Hawks. Although resident of
Norris only four or five years, Mrs.

is very popular in the Methodist
church, being an active member of
the Epworth League and Sunday
school. The groom has lived here
abouts for the greater part of his
life and is we'll and favorably known
as an active and capable young farm
er.

young couple were present at the
nuptials, including beside the fam
lily, the brides brother, Roy, Of
Sioux City, Iowa, and Ralph, of
Sioux Falls, S. D., and Mrs. r. III.
Freeman and the Misses Freeman,
mother and sisters of the groom,
respectively. A large number Of
useful wedding gifts showed the high
regard in which Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Freeman are held by their many
friends. After a splendid wedding
breakfast, the bridal couple left for
their new home on a farm miles
south of Morris amid showers of good
wishes and fond hopes for a long
and happy life.

Building Restrictions Removed

Removal of all remaining restric-
tions on non-war construction by the
war industries board was announced
tho latter part of last week. All
building operations of whatever
character may now proceed without
permits from the board or the state
councils of defense. This action was
taken on recommendation of the
building industry and the state coun-
ellis of defense. The councils had
been cooperating with the war in
dustries board in passing upon appli-
cations for building permits. There
was no estimate as to the value of
building projects which had been
held up during the war, but officials
expect that resumption of work will
afford employment for thousands of
workmen now being released from
war industries.

More Influenza Victims

There have been several deaths in
Morris and vicinity from pneumonia
following the influenza, but other
parts of the county are feeling the
effects of the disease almost as much.
At Hancock it has been taking many
lives. The Hancock Record of last
week contained the account of three
deaths from the dreaded disease.
The following tells who they were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Coach are mourn
ing the death of their little child,
which died Sunday forenoon at about
eleven o'clock after a short illness
and on Monday the two and half
months old baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole
Haugen also died from influenza
Both families have the sincerest
sympathy. of the entire community in
their sad bereavement.
William Mohr died Monday after
noon at his room in the Merchants
Hotel from pneumonia. He had only
been i'll little over a week, having
been taken sick the Saturday noon
of the week before. Almost from
the first he was seriously i'll and
when pneumonia set in, it was
thought at once there was but a
small chance for his ultimate recov-
cry. He had been employed at the
Wente blacksmith shop for the past
several years off and on when he
could be spared from the work on
the home farm Of his mother in Hor-
ton. He was exceedingly we'll liked
by all who knew him and though a
rather quiet young man, yet his up
right character and pleasant, good
natured disposition made him gen.
eral favorite with all who knew him
and his death will cause the keenest
sorrow not only to his relatives but to
his many friends both here in the
village and in his home community.

SCHOOL WORK MUST BE
MADE UP BY STUDENTS
Supt. Utne Says Morris Schools Will
Remain Closed Until After
Christmas

The health officials. and school
board Of the city of Morris met
Wednesday and decided that it was
best not to open the schools until
after Christmas on account of the in
fiuenza. 1t was hoped that the schools
could open next Monday but new
cases Of influenza have developed
during the past few days and it was
thought best not to be in a hurry
and to wait until the epidemic had
passed.
1t has been decided that the work
must be made up and this means a
matter of eleven weeks of study that
must be gotten in somehow. Supt.
Utne says that as soon as the school
opens there will be no more vaca-
tions and school will remain in ses-
sion six days each week and it is
likely that the school days will be
heightened. School will also be held
all thru the month of June next year.
This means that the school days, the
school weeks and the school year
will all be heightened in order to
catch up with the work lost.
The date for opening will likely be
the 3oth of this month unless con-
ditions should necessitate another
change.

Several Morris boys will return
home when the S. A. T. G. men at the
University of Minnesota are must
cred out. According to a statement
made by President Burton of the
University to the city press, all Of
the S. A. T. G. men will be mustered
out of the service by December 21,
in accordance with the War Depart
ment's detachments in the United
States.
1t is planned to release the 5000
men at the University in time for
them to be at home for Christmas,
DR.. Burton said. 1t is estimated that
between 700 and 500 of the Univers-
ity S. A. T. G. men will be obliged to
leave the University because of lack
! of funds to continue their courses
without financial aid from the gov
ernment. The order implies aband-

used as barracks for the men. No
definite orders have been received so
far, however.

GROWTH OF RED CROSS
WORK In AMERICA
Splendid Organizations and Wonder
full Work Earn Applause Of
=, World

On May 1, 1917, just before the
appointment of the war council, the
American Red Cross had 485,194
members working through 562 chap
| ters.
On July 81, 1913, the organiza-
tion numbered 20,648,103 annual
members, besides 100000 members
of the Junior Red Cross-a total en-
rollment of over one-fourth the pop
ulatfon of the United States.
These members carry on their Red
Cross work through 1854 chapters,
which again divide themselves into
some 10000 branches and auxili-
aries.
Since the beginning of the war the
chapters have cooperated with the
war council in conducting two war
fund drives and one membership
drive, in addition to the campaign
on behalf of the Junior Red Cross.
The total actual collections to date
from the first war fund have amount
ed to more than $115, 100000. The
subscriptions to the second war fund
amounted to upwards of $176,O0O,-
900. From membership dues the
collections have amounted to approx
imately $24,5OO,00O.
To the foregoing must be added
that very large contributions of mat
erials and time given by the millions
of women throughout the country in
CIT 1rcrfa faoI H.,
cles, in hospital and refuge garments,
in canteen work, and the other acti-
vities the chapters have been called
upon to perform. 1t is estimated
that approximately 100000 women
are engaged in canteen work and the
production of relief supplies through
the chapters.
For the period up to July 1, 1918,
American Red Cross chapters,
through their workrooms, had pro-
duced 490,120 refugee garments, T.
123,621 hospital supplies, 1885,
4S9 hospital garments, 10,134,501
knitted articles, 102,74S,f07 surgf-
cal dressings, total of 221,282,838
articles Of an estimated aggregate
value of at least $44,0OO,OOO.
These articles were largely the
product of women's hands, and, by
the same token, infinitely more pre-
cious than could have been the out
put Of factories or machines.
During the 18 months which have
elapsed since the United States en-
tered the war the American people

VIM. Hope Appointed Postmaster

News from Washington on We'd
nesday announced the appointment
of VIM. Hope as postmaster for Nor
ris. The appointment was sur
prise to most of those interested, and
to Mr.. Hope himself. In fact, the
postmastership at Norris was sure
to have been a surprise, on account
of the new conditions surrounding
the appointment. After the death
or Postmaster Finnegan, it was an
nounced that the new postmaster
would be appointed in accordance
with civil service rules, the presid-
ent having made an order that he
would fill vacancies in accordance
with recommendation from the
Civil Service Commission. Civil
service examinations we're given to
applicants at Glenwood, and several
went over from here to take the ex-
aminations. Ever since then specul-
alton has been rife as to whether
or not some Democrat would
be appointed because he was a Dem
ocrat, or whether some Democrat or
Republican would be appointed be-
cause he passed the best examina-
t1on, and opinion has been pretty
thoroly divided between these views,
and various notifications Of these
views. So there were sure to be sur
prises-and disappointments.

political. He is a live-wire, progress

WUNSCH WRITES FROM
SOMEWHERE In FRANCE
Wouldn't Miss Experiences of Past
y Few Months for Half His
Life

r. Baker received an interesting
letter this week from Ed. Wunsch,
who is in the 10th Eng. in France.
He says:
"Have few spare hours today so
will devote them to writing. Have
been at the front now for sometime
and it is surely great and worth half
persons life. The big guns bang
away day and night and it sure is
some music, but think if a person
was two-stepping he would take
rather long steps at times. The
shrapnel and. high explosives surely
do some whistling when they pass
thru the air and you can hear them
coming a long way off. If one is
coming your way there is only one
thing to do and that is go down
belly on the ground. The high ex-
plosive shells make hole Is feet in
diameter and all the way from 6 to
F8 feet deep, about the shape of a
funnel.
"Three of us have a dug-out to-
gether and it is about fifteen feet un-
der the ground with about eight feet
of iron, stones and sand bags over
head. It is all boarded up. has a
good floor and we have a small heat
ing stove, which is not bad for be-
ing at the front. We also have few
rats promenading about at night and
they are about six times the size of
an American rat. I knocked one
cold the other night with my fist
just as he was sliding over my chest.
GAS I am writing this. letter the
anti-air craft are banging away at a
Boche airplane which is trying to
get over the line. They surely make it
hot for them. The anti-air craft guns
range from to 6 miles and use
shrapnel shells. 1t has been raining
good deal of late and everything is
mud. We were issued hip-boots and
leather Jackets the other day and
they treat us very fine at the front.
Lots of warm clothes, but of course
we need them. Best regards to all. :"

Geo. Swanson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alfred Swanson of Rendsville town
ship, passed away Tuesday from in
nza-pneumonia, after an illness
of two weeks. The disease entered
this family several weeks ago and
every member of the family took
sick. Mrs. Frank Moore, a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson, went
to take care of them and she her
self was soon taken sick and for sew
eral days was not expected to live.
She is now thought to be on the road
to recovery. The others are thought
to be out Of danger.

and never knew what sickness was

influenza. His body was laid to rest
in the Norris cemetery.
