TIME CHANGES AGAIN
SUNDAY, OCTOBER Il
Clocks Should Be Turned Back One
Hour to Correct Time Changed
in Spring

The time changes again on Sunday
the 9th of October, so don't forget to
turn your clock back one hour. The
clocks were set ahead one hour last
April for the purpose of taking ad-
vantage of the extra hour Of day
light. The plan seems to have worked
very satisfactorily throughout the
entire United Staes and it doubtless
will be continued from year to year.
jewelers. say that in setting back your
clock an hour you should not try to
turn the hands back but should turn
them ahead eleven hours. If you turn
the hands of clock back you are
likely to get the bell strike out of or
der but If you set it ahead eleven
hours there will be no chance for
trouble. Don't forget that the time
to change the time is Sunday, October
9th.

UNCLE SAM ON EARLY
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Government Asks That Christmas
Buying This Year Be Done Very
Early

The government has asked that
Christmas shopping this year be done
as early as possible. One reason for
this is to assist merchants, many of
whom are conducting their business
with reduced sales forces because Of
the shortage of help. Another reason
for the request is to avoid, If possible,
the annual congestion in the mail,
express and freight service, all Of
which are now under government
control.
The Council Of National Defense
has also taken the matter of Christ
mas shopping in hand and are insist
ing that merchants restrict their
stocks and that people buy practicle
gifts this season.
Merchants have agreed to use their
utmost efforts to confine Christmas
giving, except for young children,
to useful articles, and to spread the
period for holiday purchases over the
months of October, November and
December. This means that mer-
chants should begin to push their
holiday sales at once and urge the
public to make their purchases early
and Of a nature in harmony with the
governments plan.
Many retail stores have agreed to
make an announcement to the public
of what is expected of them in the
way of Christmas buying, thru their
advertisements, commencing early
next month and repeating same week.
ly thereafter. These suggestions, if
faithfully and loyalty put into effect
thruout the country, will make pos
sible a continuance of the holiday
custom without endangering the ma
tional interests thereby.

ORDER FOR BUILDING
SHOULD BE MODIFIED
Farmers Need Buildings to Protect
Present Crop in Proper
Shape

The order recently sent out by the
War Industries Board to limit build
ing operations in excess of $1,000
affects this state and community more
than it does some other parts of the
country. For this reason The Farm
er, a publication of st. Paul, has
taken steps to have the order modi-
fed still further in order that the
farmers of the Northwest may erect
buildings to take care of the present
crop just harvested and threshed.
R. M Adams, county director to
supervise the work of building in
this county, received the following
telegram from The Farmer and his
reply is given below: >..
Farmers report rule restricting
building greatly hinders erection of
farm buildings necessary to protect
present crop and increase next years
production. If true, is it because
of delay in securing permits or should
the thousand dollar limit be raised.
Would situation be helped if you
were given given power to person
ally grant permits where necessary.
Wire us night letter, giving your
experience and specify instances, al
so your suggestions.
- Mr.. Adams replied
Morris, Mimi, Oct. 8.
The Farmer,
st. Paul, Mimi.
Government building restrictions
virtually nullify construction for
farm building. The time now left
for placing foundations safely is
short Before permit can be issued
by Washington, the ground will be
frozen and building stopped. In the
interest of the farmer the limit
should be raised to $2500.00 or the
power of issuing permits vested in
local authorities, reserving to the
government the right of appeal. The
farmers of this county have patri-
otically increased all farm produc-
ton, both grain and stock. The de-
mand for suitable farm buildings to
store grain and shelter stock is very
great. The farmers are confronted
with an embarrassing situation. The
rules should be modified and relief
secured at once. The authorities at
Washington should bear in mind that
our winters are very severe. No COM
plants from city residents.

Director Stevens County.

Wood Gets Big Crop of Alfalfa

A recent issue of the Boise, Idaho,
Statesman, says, Through deal
recently closed, e. N. Wood received
$3.50 for the crop of alfalfa grown
on his 90-acre ranch. This equals
over $50 an acre, which is not un-
usual, but indicates the progress
made by trainers in this section
In personal letter, Mr.. Wood,
who formerly lived here and still has
many friends here, says concerning
his alfalfa CROP
''The two first cuttings were
stacked and the third cutting was
sold standing in the field. I would
like my friends in and around Morris
to sknow where I am and what kind
of country am in. I am one and
a half miles from Nampa, Idaho
Nampa is very prosperous town of
5000 people. The Carnation Con-
densery Co. has just finished and is
now running $250,0O0 condensery.
1t is just three-quarters of a mile
from my place and both are on the
electric line and state highway from
Nampa to Boise"

STEPS BEING TAKEN
TO CHECK INFLUENZA
Red Cross of Morris Gives Instruc-
tions for Caring for
Patients

Judge Beise called committee
meeting one evening this week of a
committee of Red Cross workers
known as the Chapter Committee of
Influenza, and steps were taken to
check the spread of influenza in this
locality. The community is advised
of the following precautions sent out
by the Public Health Service.
First. All attendants of patients
with Influenza, such as doctors and
nurses, should wear face masks.
Second. Patients should not be
allowed to leave the premises for five
days after their temperature becomes
normal.
Third. Patients during GONZALES
cence should wear face masks for
five days after leaving their rooms.
Fourth. Any individual returning
from camps, military or naval, is a
possible course of infection and
should be isolated from all except
his own household for one week.
Fifth. The local committee urges
abandonment of all unnecessary gath
erings and cautions against all at
tendance at indoor places of amuse-
ment. This is not to be interpreted
as meaning meetings related to the
carrying on of the war.
The local chapter has ready for
distribution to the public, 100 influ-
enza masks. These and the hospital
gowns are at the disposal of physi-
clans and citizens free of charge.
Anyone desiring them should call
Mrs. Thorpe or go to the Red Cross
headquarters.

MORRIS SCHOOL GETS
FINE START FOR YEAR
Conditions Indicate That Very Suc-
cessful School Year is
Ahead

The Morris Public Schools have
only been opened for a few weeks.
but the prospects are for a very sue
cessful school year. The enrolment
is exceptionally good and the corps OF
teachers is complete and consists of
very able instructors.
Because of the scarcity Of laborers
and the high wages being paid,
large number of schools have had a
marked falling off in their enroll
ment, but the Morris schools are not
suffering in this respect. Instead OF
decrease, there is an increase over
the enrolment of last year. The en-
rollment at this time last year was
242 girls and 159 boys, as compared
with 24S girls and 178 boys in the
school at the present. This makes
a net increase of 25 pupils.
Large numbers of teachers have
left their profession during the past
year to take up nursing; to do cleri-
cal work, or to enter some other line
of work opened up to them because of
the war. This leaves a great short
c'SoS u 1O1ShOAO OfOAy WhOlO, dAu OOV~
eral of the teachers in the Morris
school were offered larger salaries
then they are now getting, but they
stood loyal to the school and also
loyal to their country by not even
requesting to be released from their
contracts here. Everyone of the
teachers also made voluntary SUBJ
scriptions to the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
Several changes have been made
in the course of study in the school
this year, particularly in the high
school. This was done in order
that the training which the boys and
girls received would more directly
meet their life needs. The study OF
German has been dropped, first be-
cause there was little or no demand
for classes in German, and in the
second place it was pretty well real
lied by all loyal Americans that the
"kultur" of the Germans was not
the kind of culture that the boys and
girls need. The courses in Ancient
and Modern History have been re-
vised SO that more time may be de-
voted to the nineteenth and twen-
tieth centuries. A course in Express
sion has been added to the high
school curriculum. The aim of the
course is to train the pupils to use
tneir voices more efficiently and at
the same time to give them some
practice in public speaking.
All seniors are now required to
take years course in American
Government and Social problems.
Every student who graduates from
the high school should understand
the principles, organization and adj
ministration Of the government, and
should also know something about
the important economic and social
problems that are calling upon the
people of America for solution.
Military drill has now been intro
duced in the school and the boys in
the seventh and eighth grades and In
the high school are given two hours
a week of military training. There

WAR WELFARE AGENCIES
TO COMBINE FOR FUNDS.
Y. M. C. A., K. of C.'s and Other
Agencies Will Combine for
Next Appeal

Some time ago President Wilson
issued statement in which he re-
quested all the American Army We'll
fare agencies, recognized by the War
Department, including the Y. M. c.
A., the Y. w. G. A., the knights of
Columbus, the Salvation Army and
the Jewish Relief Society, to combine
in their next appeal for funds. The
matter has been taken up in this
state and the leaders met in st. Paul
two weeks ago to receive instructions
for the carrying on of the work in
the different counties F. A Stever is
chairman of the drive in Stevens
county and Harry Adams secretary.
A fuller account of the drive as it
will be made here will be given next
week.
John R. Mott, General Secretary
of the War Work Council of the Y.
M. C. A. ha sissued the following
statement:
''In this request the President has
raised standard to which men and
women in the nation, can and will
rally royalty. This is not to be
Y. M. G. A. campaign nor Knights
of Columbus campaign nor a Saliva
tion Army campaign. 1t is to be
campaign for the men over there in
France and in the cantonments on
this side and on our brave ships
every where. A campaign for the
maintenance and increase of morale
which Napoleon said is to other fact
ors in war as three to one. The
dollars given to the common fund
will reach the boys through seven
different channels, but every dollar
will be made to do maximum work.
No matter what sign is painted over
the door of any hut or hostess house
it door will be opened to every boy
equally"
''The total amount one hundred
and seventy millions dollars is trem-
endous. The largest gift for which
any people have ever been asked at
one time yet. Compared to the
figures to which the war has accus-
toned us it is not much. A recent
letter from one of General Pershing's
staff officers made the statement that
the work of these great agencies is
adding at least ten per cent to the
fighting efficiency of our men. If it's
worth eighteen billion dollars to
keep our boys under arms next year,
surely it is worth one hundred and
seventy millions to make them fight
ten percent more efficiently. Nothing
in my five visits to the battle field
has impressed me more than the way
in which the men of all religious
bodies have blended their sacrifice
even unto death for the supreme
cause.
''This great campaign will give us
a chance to show that the men and
women at home are capable of rising
to the same heights of splendid CO.
operation as their representatives
over there. If they can struggle and
die together to make forever secure
our liberties we can plan and work
together to get the money needed to
serve Them

The English Language

Did you ever stop to think over the
peculiarities of the English language? Here
is little rhyme from the Penny Pictorial
on plural and singular that is quite amusing.
Well begin with a box, and the plural is
boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxen, not
Then one fowl is goose, but two are called
geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be
meese!
You may find lone mouse or whole lot
of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called
pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows or kline,
But bow, if repeated, is never called bine,
And if speak of foot and you show me
your feet,
And give you boot, would pair be
called beet?
If one is tooth, and whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called
beeth?
If the singular's this and the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed
keesel
Then one may be that, and three would be
those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose;
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say
methren.
Then masculine pronouns are he, his and
him,
But imagine the feminine, she, shis and
SHIN,
So the English, I think, you all will agree,
Is the most wonderful language you ever
did see.-EG.

Leaces From Our Poets.
The Third Time

I'm not superstitious man, as superstitions
go;
l have no qualms on Friday and will lad
ders walk below;
But I've heard one ancient saying since my
boyhood on the farm,
And hold one superstition-that the third
time is the charm.
And somehow I've feeling.
That the bells will soon be peeling;
The bells of joyous laughter, the bells OF
golden glee;
The bells which tell the story
Of world peace won with glory,
In the days which come soon after our third
pledge to Liberty.
America must do her share! And shall
she lack the bit
Which you can give and can give who are
not battle fit?
When millions give their blood and tears,
what craven would withhold
The poorest thing man can give, his last
red ounce of gold?
Now this third loan is needed,
Let the call by all be needed;
Let responses, love revealing, come from
factory and farm!
Tis the third time, o my brothers
Let your answer drown all others,
And the bells will soon be peeling Make
the third time prove the charm!
