Committee Appointed Here to Take
Up Matter of Essential
Labor

The matter of essential and nom
essential occupations was taken up
at meeting of the Morris CONNER
cial Club Tuesday evening and a
Community Labor Board was organ
lied and is now at work. Mr.. Peter
son and Mr.. Williams of st. Paul,
two men connected with the State
Employment Service, were present to
explain the matter and get things
started right.
Mr.. P. E. Miller was appointed a
representative of the employers of
this community, Mr.. G. Young a
representative of the employees, and
Judge Beise chairman to represent
the U. S. Employment Service.
The idea is to take all men now
employed in occupations not consid-
cred essential to the winning of the
war and place them in some other
line of work, but there will be no
sweeping action to cause confusion.
The military needs of the nation
must be considered first, and the Or
der work or fight will be enforced
to the letter. Men will also be re-
placed by women wherever this can
be done.

is taken and the overflow Of animals
had to be tethered outside. Judg-

grounds that would be prize winners
if shown at the state fair.
Other departments-poultry, vege-
tables, fruit, grain, fine arts, school
exhibits-contain wonderful displays
more complete and beautiful than
any previous year.
Yesterday saw a big crowd of peo-

WILBERT STAMBAUGH
A HERO AT SOISSONS
George Stambaugh Meets His Brother
in France, and Finds He Was in
the Big Drive

To meet ones brother in France,
and find that he had been thru the
big fight that drove the Huns back,
is sure come experience. Geo. E..
Stambaugh is member Of Co. c.,
58th Engineers, and his brother Will
bert S. is a member of Co. G, 10th
Infantry. Both are well known
here, as the family lived just west
of the city until a few years ago,
when they moved to Corwith, Iowa.
Following is the letter from George,
in which he tells of meeting Wilbert
in France, and proudly tells of Will
bert's part in the big battle:-
France, August 16, 1918.
"Dear Folks:
"Just received your letter of the
18th of July. have just come back
from seven days leave at AK les
Bains. 1t is a resort in the French
Alps on the Swiss, Italian and French
I went up on Mt. Chambotte, Mt.
Renard and Dent du Chat. I had a
fine time. Stayed at first class
villa where nobility and million
aires stay in peace times. The grub
and the soft feather beds were a
dream. 1t is sure hard to come down
to soldering once more.
'Well, that is enough of this stuff.
I must tell you the story of real
hero, who is doing all the hard
knocks while am sitting on the
world as the boys say, which is
slang for having { good job.
"Well, 1 saw this hero and was
with him for a day and night just
before left on my vacation. He has
been in some of the hardest battles of
the present drive and at scissors, on
the 18th of July, at 1925 a. m. he
went over the top with his company.
The Hun lines were just $50 yards
In front Of them and they charged
with fixed bayonets. They passed the
first, second and third lines and ad-
vanced for five days. The regiment
took over 5000 Huns and lots Of
cannons. They lost lots Of men, too,
but they were too many for the
Huns.
Zone shell struck at our hero's side
and killed the man in front and
wounded the man behind. He had
q trench knife in his belt broken by
a high explosive shell and was
Knocked down twice by machine gun
bullets on his helmets, was scratched
by flying shrapnel and wounded
slightly in the leg, but he just COM
PEELED a Hun doctor to dress it for
him and kept on with the fight.
"Once they were cleaning some
Huns out of a dugout and one big,
red-whiskered Hun had some stuff in
his arms. He was told to drop 1t as
he might have a weapon concealed
in it. The Hun did not obey, SO he
pointed at the stuff with his rifle
and motioned for him to drop it.
The rascal snatched the gun out of
his hand and would have killed him,
but he had pistol he had picked up
a couple Of hours before on the
battlefield. He had it in his belt
and when the Hun tried to get him

STEVENS COUNTY MONEY
TO BUY MACHINE GUNS
Fourth Liberty Loan Subscriptions
Will Pay for Many of These
Weapons

No other single weapon used in the
world war has proved SO efficacious
as the machine gun. Equally in
offense and defense it has become
indispensable. When our boys dash
forward against the Huns, they carry
with them these deadly guns, setting
them up at every pause to rake the
ranks of the enemy. When our
aviators fly over the German lines,
for combat or for observation, each
airplane must carry one or more of
these weapons. Thousands upon
thousands of them are in use now,
and more must be provided in an
unending stream.
1t Is well for the people of Stew
ems county to fix these facts firmly
in their minds, for they are about to
buy great number of machine guns
with which the boys of this county,
who are in the service, will shoot the
kaiser's soldiers full of holes.
One light Browning machine gun
costs the government about $125.
Each resident Of Stevens county who
will lend the United States govern
ment $3.50 will know that he or she
is paying for two Of these weapons,
and may be assured that those very
guns will soon be spraying with bull
lets the brutal Boches who are trying
to ruin the world.
The way to lend this money to the
government-which means an invest
ment for yourself-is to subscribe for
several $50 bonds when they are
placed on sale tomorrow. It will
take five $50 bonds to pay for two
machine guns and when, later on,
you read about bunch Of our boys
lying in machine gun nest in
France beating back a counter-at-
tack of the Huns, you can say, "May-
be they are using the gun paid fol" :"
Mr.. F. A. Hancock director Of the
campaign in this county, says that
Stevens county's quota in this fourth
loan is $518,000, and if everyone
takes the amount allotted to them this
sum will be easily subscribed. Let
ters were sent out early in the week
telling Of the method of the cam
paign, and cards have been sent out
since so that each one knows just
what they are expected to buy and
where they must go to pay. The big
campaign is on tomorrow and by
night it is expected that the entire
$518,000 will have been taken.

Morris Man Wounded
Mrs. Kennedy received telegram
last week stating that her son, Ed
ward, had been wounded in action in
France. This Is the first man from
this county to be reported wounded
in the world war. He is we'll known
here, having been employed at the
Loeffler & Carney meat market be-
fore he enlisted about year ago.
No further information as to the ex-
tent Of his injuries has been received.

Seed Corn Picked. =.
"Seed Corn Time" for Minnesota
was observed by the farmers of Stew
ems county, judging from reports that
have since been made. The time for
picking seed corn was set from Sep

did not wait until the 10th to begin,
but got into the fields a week earlier
with the determination of getting
enough S60U GOTH 10 1dSL Cu0uu IOF TWO
years. The result is that this county
now has a good supply of seed corn
stored away for future use. Inas-
much as this section Of the country
has failed to produce a crop of solid
corn for three years, the demand for
seed last spring exhausted all re-
serves, and the need of replenishing
the reserve this year was accordingly
great. The shortage of seed last
spring disclosed the Importance of
having more than a years supply on
hand, and the progressive farmer
gave the matter the attention it de-
served this year.

Opportunities for Young Women


Because the war has opened for
young women the door to unusual
opportunities, the University Of Min
nesota is planning this year, in spite
of the obligations placed upon it by
the War Department for the instruc-
ton of the Students Army Training
Corps, to offer to young women the
usual courses under even better con-
ditions of residence than have existed
heretofore.
Every department of the Univer-
sity is almost flooded with calls for
trained young women for excellent
positions. This demand will con-
tinue. The young woman who at
tends the University this year, there
fore, is-putting herself in line for use
full service at maximum return. At
tention is called to this because so
much emphasis has recently been
placed on the fact that the University
is to be used in training young men
for the army, and the impression has
gone abroad that the work for young
women may be slighted.
AS result, Gertrude Beggs, dean
of women at the University, says this
will be the best year Minnesota Uni
versity women have ever had. San
ford Hall will operate as usual as
home for women students. The CO.
operative cottages will also be MAIN
tanned as heretofore. Plans are un-
der way, too, for annexes to Sanford
Hall and for additional cooperative
cottages. No material changes will be
made in the scholastic courses.
