comes a request that $50 pairs Of
socks per month for three months be
furnished from Stevens county.
This urgent call is to meet the
needs for consignments to France,
which must be on hand at headquart-
ers by September first in order to
reach the soldiers before the extreme
cold weather.
We have splendid corps of knit
ters that have stood by the work in
fine shape and we feel sure of their
hearty cooperation in making it
possible for the Morris Chapter to
furnish its quota of 800 pairs per
month. Should any one be able to
knit only to the heel please bring the
work to Red Cross rooms where the
committee will help you through that
difficulty and the same assistance
will be given at the toe. We expect
you. Do not disappoint us.

COMPANY
ENDORSED BY CLUB
Fourth Of July Celebration Discussed
and Probably Will be Ar
ranged

The Morris Commercial Club held
well-attended meeting on Wednes-
day evening for the purpose Of con-
sidering the establishment of mill
tia company at this place.
Capt. P. L. Spooner and Lieut.. N.
Vinje of Co. A, reported the results
of their visit to st. Paul, the prin-
cipal points of which were given in
The Tribune last week. The club
discussed the matter fully and adopt
ed a resolution endorsing the pro-
jest, and recommending Morris to
the state officials and urging the
city officials to give the project the
proper financial support. If the COM
pany is established here, it will re-
quire a new armory building, the
greater part of the cost of which will
be provided by the state. Mayor
Geenty, J. G. Morrison and N. vinje
were appointed a committee to carry
out the wishes of the club as ex-
pressed in the resolution.
L. P. Norby, of the Alberta Red
Cross, spoke on behalf of the Red
Cross picnic at Dry Wood Lake Sun
day, and asked that the club provide
autos for the Home Guard in case the
company attended to give an exhibi-
ton drill. G.. w. Beise and Peter
Peterson were appointed committee
to arrange for the autos.
The club favored simple Fourth
of July celebration, with the Stevens
County Band, the Home Guard, a
ball game and good loyalty address
as the principal features, and COM
mittee consisting of F. A. Stever,
Theo. Utne and S. A. Siverts, Jr.,
was appointed to arrange it.

for his Doctors degree at Columbia
University, has lately become identi-
fed with the work which is being
planned for the education and re-
habilitation of wounded soldiers. The
American Red Cross, the Surgeon
Generals Office and the Federal Vo-
cational Board have all been making
plans along this line, but have now
united to plan for and carry out the
work At the time Mr.. Higbie was
here he was en- route back to New
Jersey after having spent several
weeks with 27 others on trip thru
Canada studying what is being done
there for the rehabilitation Of wound
ed soldiers. Canada had to face the
problem almost without warning and
Canada's experience will be most
valuable to the United States, and
that is why this party of experts were
sent thru Canada.
Mr. Higbie has qualified himself
as one of the recognized leaders of
agricultural education in the United
States, and as such when it comes
to devising means for giving voca-
tional training. to wounded soldiers,
his line will be to study out courses
and methods of giving agricultural
education to the wounded men.
Mr.. Higbie's work brings him in
touch with the large general hospit-
ais in and about New York where
wounded men are being treated, and
he especially asks that if any Stevens
county or West Central Minnesota
boys are known to be in any of these
hospitals, that he be notified and he
will visit them.

/ COUNTY AGAIN DOING
ITS BIT FOR COUNTRY
Many Promptly Subscribing For War
Savings Stamps in Big
Drive isa

Stevens county has responded in a
gratifying manner to the call to pur-
chase and pledge for War Savings
Stamps. Since the big drive started
fully 80 per cent of the allotment
has been subscribed and chairman
J. w. Harris is highly pleased with
the promptness with which so many
residents of the county appeared be-
fore the different committees in their
respective localities to learn the
amount of stamps they were expected
to buy and who cheerfully did their
bit. st
There are, of course, few who
are able to assist the government
thru the War Savings Stamps agency
who have not pledged their allotment
but it is expected that all will get
in touch with their local committee
in a short time and do the duty that
is expected of them. In cases where
residents willfully refuse to purchase
stamps they are being seen again be-
fore they are "blue-carded" and it,
is likely that everyone will sign up
before the campaign is over.
On the whole Stevens county has
just reason to feel proud of the sue
cess Of the drive and the way most
of the residents subscribed to their
share Of stamps in proportion to
their wealth. War savings stamps
are the best investment the govern
ment offers, and this method Of rails
ing money to successfully prosecute
the war also gives people an oppor-
tunity to practice thrift.
Chairman Harris is not in posi-
ton to give figures of the amount in
dollars of the pledges made in the
several cities, villages and townships
in the county because the local COM
mittees are not yet ready to report,
but the drive so far has proven sue
cessful and many districts have
raised their allotment but some have
not done their duty and they will be
seen before the final report is made.
The village Of Hancock has already
gone over the top
Stevens county has sustained it's
reputation for loyalty in this in
stance.
