State Safety Commissions Organiza-

AS an interim governing body and

ding great emergencies. In connec-

SHOP EARLY! ONLY

Merchants Make This Appeal, Fol
lowing Removal of War Re-
trictiOns

Christmas is just four weeks
away.
There are only % more shopping
days left.
Owing to the expected increase in
Christmas buying resulting from the
lifting of restrictions on retail stores
by the Council of National Defense,
Morris merchants are urging more
than ever before for customers to do
their shopping early.
Morris retail Christmas trade will
be near normal this season, mer-
chants say. In the number of arti-
cles sold, perhaps, the total will fall
short of other years, but in figures
OF dollars and cents the transactions
are expected to break all records.
Stores in this city have been for
tunate in securing wide variety of
articles from which Christmas buy
ers may choose. With the signing
of the armistice the merchants have
purchased even more heavily, bring
ing in all available Christmas goods.
They have prepared for a bigger
trade because they realize that peace
willSpermit people to open their purse
strings and buy more freely. AS q
matter of fact the public is buying
a better class of merchandise than
ever before. The stores report that
the people have the money to pay for
the better merchandise.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU /
DOES MUCH GOOD WORK
Has Accomplish Many Things for
Farmers Of County During
Year

G. w. Nash, manager of the Stew
ems County Farm Bureau, has just
made a report of some of the things
the organization has done for the
farmers since it began work, March
1st, 1918.
Two hundred bushels of seed corn
were bought and distributed to farm
ers at cost, resulting in an increase
of at least 1000 acres of corn.
Thousands of bushels of seed grain
and grass and clover seed were re-
ferred to over two hundred parties
wishing to buy. Thfrty-seven Law
ton seed corn testers were placed in
the county by means of which at
least 200 bushels of seed corn were
tested. In the seed corn campaign
conducted this fall, over 5000 bus
hels of seed corn were saved early,
or about one bushe1 for each four
acres planted in 1918.
The extra amount of seed corn
saved as result of the campaign will
mean an increase in next years crop,
worth thousands of dollars. The
Farm Bureau has placed 135 farm
laborers in the county and assisted
in supplying 1011 days of voluntary
town labor.
There are many other things that
can be accomplished next year to
the extent of the funds available for
that work. Increase in membership
resulting from the membership cam
paign, which will be staged the first
week in December, will make this
possible.

Will Ship More Frogs

The Jackson Bros. of Morris are
again in the frog business and are
busy catching the frogs to ship to
market. st. Paul and Minneapolis
are the largest frog markets in the
world now and the frog catchers Of
the state bring about 100000 dozen
to the market yearly, many Of them
coming from Stevens county. Five
years ago no frogs were shipped out
of Minnesota; now the business
amounts to more than 100000 a
year. There are no frogs like the
Minnesota product for the epicure.
This is attributed to the clear, cool
water than is found in Minnesota's
10000 lakes, in which the frogs live
and have their nests. Frogs legs
are purchased all thru the state by
shippers from the two cities.

WAR WORK FUND QUOTA
SUBSCRIBED In STATE
Campaign Still on in Stevens County
to Help Raise Over-Subscrip-
ton

The United War Work Campaign
is still on in Stevens county and it
is hoped to arise the full amount of
$4,000. Some of the districts have
finished their work and report an
over-subscription while in others the
work of canvassing the people is not
completed.
s. Burt was chairman in the Cho-
kio district and he says his district
will go over the top. The village Of
Chokio subscribed 500, which was
more than their allotment Stevens
township turned in $721 and report
the campaign closed. The chairman
in Baker township is sick and has not
finished his work. The allotment for
the Chokio district was $2261 and al
ready $2163 has been raised and this
is nearly all cash.
The Hancock district have not yet
made their report, but the chairman
says things are progressing fine and
they will raise their allotment.
The Alberta District report $3.50
raised, $1502 of which is already
pdlu LII LII CcIoA ctAu Ou1y 200 u1duO LII
pledges.
At this writing there is nothing
new from the Donnel1y district or the
/ Morris district. The Donnelly dis
trict at the last report had raised
$18S5 in cash and pledges but ex-
pect to make this over $4,000. The
Norris district still hopes to raise
several hundred dollars before the
campaign is declared closed.
The state of Minnesota as a whole
is reported as being over the top, al
tho Minneapolis has not raised her
share but has made promise. The
original quota for the state was 81
100000 but there is already over $4,-
100000 in sight If everybody
pledges who is expected to help.
With $157,295,058 in contribu-
tions officially tabulated and returns
yet to be added, officials at New York
are confident that the fund will pass
the original quota of s170,500,000
and closely approach the s250,00O,-
600 mark, at which the actual needs
of the seven war relief organizations
during the period of rehabilitation
have been estimated.

FIRST INSPECTION OF
CO. *" HELD MONDAY
Col. G.. A. Lewis and Staff Were
Present to Check Over Each
Man

The first regular inspection of
Company "K," Fifth Minnesota In
fantry, was held in Morris Monday,
the inspecting officer being Col. G.
A Lewis, and his staff consisting of
Adjutant R. w. Bates and Major
Perlee, all of Mankato. These Off
GERS arrived on the afternoon train
and began their work of inspection
at once, getting partly finished be-
fore supper and finishing after sup
per.
On account of the influenza epid-
emic the company was not inspected
in body at the armory, but each
man was called to the Commercial
Club rooms, one at time, and his
papers checked up.
Col. Lewis was not able to see the
company drill, but he congratulated
Captain Vinje and Major Spooner on
the fine appearance of the men as
they reported and made the remark
that the Stevens county company is
one of the best he has seen.
After inspection Sergeant Hopes
highly congratulated on the fine con-
dition of the books, being in the best
order of any company books in the
battalion.
The company now has 10 men be-
tween the ages of 18 and As and 10
men below 18. The company
strength is supposed to be 100 men,
so company K is we'll filled, altho
more men can still be received.
From here the officers went to
Crookston to inspect the company
there on Wednesday, and then to St.
Cloud and Fergus Falls. This will
finish the inspection of each company
in the regiment and it is expected
that the equipment for the company
at Morris will arrive in a few weeks
now
Major Spooner was also congratu-
lated for the way in which he has
brought his four companies to the
front in such short time.

New Influenza Hospital Established In
Morris To Help Combat The Disease

the city and county officials asked to
appropriate some money to help.
The main thing in fighting the in
fluenza seems to be in giving the sick
the proper care and attention, and
that is why a hospital is deemed
ecessary. Patients will be admitted
to the hospital from all parts Of the
county and arrangements are being
made for an ambulance to bring the
sick in. An attempt will also be made
to check up all cases of influenza as
they develope and anyone sick
should report to the hospital. The
telephone number is 212.
The local health board, consisting
of DR.. Caine, Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Eames, are doing all they can and
DR.. Leuty as chairman of the county
board of health is cooperating in
every way. A meeting was held
Wednesday attended by the city Off
cials, board of health and school
officials ,and the influenza situation
discussed and plans made to handle
it properly. The schools, churches,
and other public places, which have
been closed for several weeks, will
not open for the present, but it is
hoped they can open in a week or
two when the disease is under con-
troll
Several people in Morris are to be
commended for the way in which
they are working to help the sick
and suffering. Mr.. Miller is chair
man of the Home Service of the Red
Cross and has the handling of the
hospital. Mrs. Thorpe has been do
ing her best to supply nurses and
Mrs. Beise has been chairman of the
committee to supply food to those not
able to get their own meals.
Several deaths have resulted this
week from pneumonia following in
fluenza. Ernest Thrallow died last
Friday, Geo. Schmidgall of Moore
township died Sunday, Simon Wick
strom of Synnes township died Mon
day, VIM. Buttell of Framnas town
ship died Tuesday night and a baby
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Harvey of
Framnas township died Wednesday,.

The influenza epidemic is consid-
cred very serious thruout the county
at the present time and the health
authorities, with tn cooperation of
the Red Cross, are doing everything
possible to combat the disease There
are many who believe strict quar-
antine of each case should be en-
forced, but inasmuch as the state
board of health does not insist on
this, the local health officers do not
recommend it.
| A week ago Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Roberts took over the operation of
the influenza hospital on w. 7th
street and a number of cases are be-
ing treated there, but it soon became
apparent that the quarters were too
small and@ that hospital on larger
scale should be established. The
difficulty of getting nurses to send
to each home where all the members
are sick with influenza, also made
it necessary that place be fitted up
where the patients could be brought
together and given the care they
need
With this in mind, the members of
the Home Service committee of the
Red Cross, took the matter UP with
the state board of health and on
Saturday DR.. Birch of Minneapolis
came to Morris to take charge of the
situation. He has spent several
days with Supt. Miller and Mrs.
Thorpe in getting things organized
and in visiting patients in the city
Of Morris and the country round
about. The latest plans are to open
up a hospital for influenza patients
and Linne's Hall has been hired for
this purpose and will be fitted up
with everything needed for the prop
er care of those who are taken there.
Beds have been shipped from Mime
apolis and DR.. Leuty and DR.. Caine
have promised to cooperate and at
tend to the medical end of the hosp
ital. Just how the hospital will be
financed has not been decided, but
the Red Cross chapter will devote
what money they have available for
this purpose and the rest will likely
be raised by popular subscription and

GOVERNOR. is NOW A
GOOD ROAD ADVOCATE
Experiences Difficulties Of Poor
Roads While on Trip to
Clinton

AS a result of slow progress ove1
poor roads, Governor Burnquist is
more than even convinced of the need
of improvements. The following
from Saturdays Pionner Press gives
an account of his last trip into
Stevens county
Governor Burnquist returned last
night after wrestling with Minnesota
mud for week, during which time
he pulled a cousin of Mayor Hodg-
son out of the mud as an incident
in days journey.
The Governor, accompanied by his
son, John, was on an automobile
trip to his farm near Clinton, MINI.
Jogging along between Hancock and
Benson on his way out, the Governor
came on a f1ivver that was mired in
mudhole, it's wheels revolving furi-
ously, but not recording any pro-
gress.
Pulling to the side of the road, the
Governor called to the occupant of
the car to ask if he could be of any
assistance. ~ -
''Sure," said the owner of the
stalled car, crawling out. ''Then he
added in amazement.
''Why, if it isn't the Governor!
A wire cable was secured and
stretched from the Governors car to
the car in distress. John, Burnquist
took the wheel. The Governors car
gave a few chugs and out came the
flivver on solid ground.
Then the proud citizen who had
been helped over hard place by the
Governor introduced himself as "Mr.
Hodgson, a cousin Of Larry Ho," and
introduced his wife and family, who
were along.
The Governor came home i'm
pressed more than ever with the
need of good roads in Minnesota. He
said last night that we ought to have
system in this state something like
they have in California. Not only
would good roads benefit the pleasure
rider, the Governor declared, but he
was convinced that they would be Of
material use for short hauls of
freight
Governor Burnquist said that his
trip home took him twice as long as
he had expected on account of the
heavy roads. He left Clinton Thurs
day morning and stayed over night
at Benson.

consideration in the use of the ar
mory for large school gatherings.
