WHEAT BREAD
IS BACK ONCE MORE
Declaration of Victory and Bumper
Harvest Responsible for
Change

Victory" bread soon will disap-
pear from the American table. It's
place will be taken by bread made
from whole wheat -four. Victory for
American and Allied arms, how
ever, is responsible only in part for
the change.
1t is chiefly due, according to the
Food Administration, to the tremend-
GUS wheat crop raised by the Ameri-
can farmer this year, the vast stores
in Australia and other wheat grow
ing countries now made available
and to serious world shortage in
dairy feeds.
Milling of more wheat will tend to
alleviate the shortage in dairy feeds
through production Of bran. 1t was
said today at the food administra-
tion that no new wheat regulations
have been issued, but they may be
expected as soon as the mechanical
details of the change can be worked
out.

all physically qualified men between
the ages of 21 and 81 who were

Many of the men who were under

"Inestimable Value" in Owatonna

"Inestimable Value" in Owatonna
Dear JIM
The armory cost $4,000 in round
figures and was built for less than
it was worth. The building is 66x
1872 feet with a two story front and
full basement. The rear of the base
ment has never been completed but
is to be used for dining room and
kitchen and swimming pool on the
other side. The outside walls of the
latter are completed. The front end
of the basement has locker room and
quartermasters' room. On the first
floor to the right of the entrance is
the company club room, of which I
am sending you cut and on the left
of the entrance is the officers room.
On the second floor is two rooms for
sergeant in charge and opposite are
two rooms which are used for check
rooms on public occasions. The
building has proven of inestimable
value as community building and is
used for all public affairs requiring
large room. 1t is used by the high
school during the winter for basket
ball and other affairs; the liberty
loan committee has used it as head
quarters for the two campaigns as
it has also been used by the War
Savings committee. 1t has been of
much use for entertaining conven-
tions and for large gatherings of
farmers and I can truthfully say
that do not know how Owatonna
could get along without such
structure. 1t was the plan to COM
p1ete the basement and swimming

KAISER "HANGED" AND
THEN BURNED" MONDAY
Peace Celebration Was Properly
Celebrated in Morris Monday 1
Night

The hanging of William Hohen-
zollern in eff1gy and a mammoth
bonfire on Main street were the
crowning features Monday night OF
the big peace celebration which
started early in the day.
The day was proclaimed a holi-
day and many business places were
closed altogether. The news Of
peace was received in Morris early
Monday morning and the big siren
whistles were blown to start the day
of noise and merry-making. The
big time took place after supper,
when everybody in Morris and the
surrounding country gathered on
main street to celebrate the event in
proper manner. The celebration grew
to great proportions by nine o'clock
and the crowd became so great that
it was almost impossible to walk or
drive down Atlantic avenue. The
street was clogged with autos, trucks
and vehicles of all kinds. The noise
making was greater by far than that
of the few days before when the
premature" celebration was held.
Singing, dancing on the streets,
hollering, pounding on old tin pans,
footing horns, were some Of the
things the people INDUCED in In
celebrating the end of the world
war. It was like Fourth Of July,
Christmas and several other holi-
days all blended into one, and the
people, with no place to go, raced,
stamped, and crowded their way up
and down the streets. The Morris
band kept up a continual playing
and whenever they started on pop
ular song the crowds Joined in the
singing.
The Kaiser was hanged by a wire
stretched across the street and then
pulled over the big fire, where he
was left until he burned to death"
After he was hoisted in to the air
he was riddled with bullets and
must have been dead before the
flames ignited his clothing. The
crowd went nearly wild when he
caught on fire and the noise was at
its height from the time he started
burning until there was nothing left
of him.
It was big time and one long to
be remembered in the history of the
city.

Fine Building at Small Cost

Fine Building at Small Cost
Pine City, Minn., Sept. %, 1913.
Bro. Morrison:
The general contract ran $13,226,
exclusive of plumbing and heating
and entire cost ran about $4,000
without interior work in and back of
balcony complete. About $15,700
would have completed.
Building is 68x12O, drill floor be-
ing 68x97 with locker room, entry,
stairs, officers lounge, ETC., in front.
In basement are mems toilet, rifle
range (12x65 ft.) heating plant and
storage rooms.
This is as complete as can give you
outside from what you would know
from armories in general.
If you need anything further will
try to get for you.

CANCEL DRAFT CALL;
MEN RETURNED HOME
Two Stevens County Men Get to
Willmar, When They are Or
dered Back

One of the first actions of the War
department Monday after the an
nouncement of the signing If the
armistice with Germany, was the
cancellation of all army draft calls
under which more than 100000 men
had been ordered to entrain for
camps before November 80. This Or
der affected two Stevens county men
who had taken the noon train Mon
day to go to Fort Riley, Kansas.
They got as far as Willmar, when
they were ordered to return home
and they arrived back in Morris on
the afternoon passenger in time to
participate in the big celebration of
the evening. These two men were
Svere Vinje of Morris and Henry c..
Wirsing of Chokio. That they would
have made good soldiers, was de-
monstrated in the way they helped
to celebrate. They acted as leaders
in hanging the kaiser, whom they
had hoped to capture in Berlin rath-
er than in Morris.
Secretary of War Baker made the
following statement Monday: IT
have suspended further calls under
the draft and inductions. There
will be for the present no additional
men brought in under the draft and
to the extent that we can, we will
turn back those men who have been
entrained and have not yet reached
training camps"
All men who assembled for en-
training before the cancelling order
was issued will be considered as hon
orably discharged from the army and
paid accordingly. Altho the two
Stevens county men were soldiers
for only day or two, yet they will
receive the same honor as tho they
had reached camp and been in train
ing for some time.
Sverre Vinje served with the First
Minnesota until discharged on ac-
count of sickness. He was the first
volunteer to enlist, the last drafted
man to leave and the first to return.
Until further notice no inductions
or calls, except for the navy and
marine corps will be permitted. A
call for few thousand men for the
navy is now in preparation, but
volunteers to date have more than
filled the requirements of the navy
and marine corps.

Faribault Finds It Useful

Norris Tribune,
Morris, Minnesota.
l have yours of the 10th. The
cost of the armory was between
$19,0O0.00 and $20,O00.O0. 1t is
used to some extent for large gath
erings, but those using the same are
required to pay rental, but when the
meeting is of a public nature, such
as patriotic meetings no charge is
made. The people find 1t very USE

For a "Whale" of a Meeting

For "Whale" of Meeting
Fairmont, Mimi, Sept. Is, 1918.
Dear Jim -
Our armory 6Ox120 cost $4,000
Couldn't be built now for less than
20 or $4,000. We didn't need it for
community building but the differ
ent military organization have made
several thousand-yes thousands
on dances given. It is great for that
purpose, attracts people for 20 to
80 miles distance. Of course it
comes in good when we want a
whale Of a meeting.
The city bot the lot on which the
building is located and I think
raised several hundred to finish it
but the latter will care for itself in
dances-or would before everybody
went to war. Still the Saturday
night military dances draw a crowd.

WAR BOARD REMOVES
BAN ON CONSTRUCTION
All Farm Building May Now Ga
Forward Without Permit From
Government

Increased building activities are
ately as a result of a message which
r. M. Adams received Wednesday
from D. R. Cotton, regional advisor
of the War Industries Board, re-
moving restrictions on buildings
costing up to $4,000.
Many farmers in this county were
anxious to build onto their homes,
but they were prohibited to do this
and were only allowed to build barns
and granaries. All farm building
can now be resumed without any or
ders.
The message sent out from Wash
ington read as follows:
"War Industries board removes
all building restrictions for both
county and city buildings not ex-
ceeding in cost $4,000. For those
costing from $4,000 to $4,000 per-
mits will have to be secured from
the state council of defense"
For some time there have been re-
strictions on erecting structures
costing more than $500 in the city
and more than $1,000 in the country
districts. The new order removes
them automatically.
Building in the Northwest will
be stimulated Immediately" said Mr..
Adams. There are many who have
been waiting to build for a long
time. Now that the restrictions
have been removed great deal of
building will be started without de-
lay"

WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
REPORTS ENCOURAGING
Few People Refuse to Give.-Names
Of Slackers May Be Pub
lished

Monday was the day that the I'm
tied War Work Campaign opened in
all parts of the United States to
raise $17O,5OO,0O0 for welfare work
among the soldiers in this country
and France and it was day of great
activity in Stevens county, when at
nine o'clock the committeeman re-
ceived their instructions and started
out to solicit $17,600 as this coun-
tvs share. The spirit that was man.
ifested by the men spoke well for
the ultimate success of the undertak-
ing.
From reports that have come in
Stevens county will do it's share in
this campaign as we'll as in the cam
paigns of the past. The people of
this part of the state realize that
we have an army Of over 100000
men, and in spite of the fact that
peace has been declared a large part
Of this army will be in service for
months yet to come, and that some
of the men now in service will not
be mustered out for at least two
years. President Wilson sent the
following night message to the State
Committee for the War Work Cam
paign, "The period of rehabilitation
will last more than two years and
will present far more serious prob
lens regarding the morale Of our
troops than we are facing today. The
end of hostilities will make much
greater the need Of your work"

kind of an accurate report as to the

mighty Useful Building"
Hibbing, Mimi, Sept. 20, 1918.

Hibbing, Mimi, Sept. 20, 1918.
J. C. Morrison, Esq,
Morris, Minnesota
Brother Morrison:
Our armory cost approximately
$125, 900, eight or ten years ago. 1t
is at all seasons of the year a mighty
useful building from the community
standpoint, and it has proven ex-
ceedingly useful in the past year for
patriotic meetings. The only trou-
BILE has been that is was far too
small on many occasions.
In addition to the armory or audit
orium, the building houses one of the
fire department stations, the city ad-
ministration offices, the police sta
ton, city jail, municipal court, and
the draft board Offices.
Sorry can't locate the cut for
you.

Our armory is used quite freely
as place for public meetings. Of

has been used so much for actual
