Big Features.-Other Events
Planned

Children of all grades in the Nor
ris Public Schools are now busy MAX
ing arrangements for the big carni-
val which will be held at the High
School Building Friday evening, Oct.
"a. The purpose of this carnival is
to raise money for the Junior, Red
Cross, but those who attend will
find plenty to furnish a full evening
OF enjoyment and fun. Sixty per
cent of the money raised will go to
welfare work among children of for
eign countries, and the other forty
per cent will be used among children
of America.
One Of the big feaures of the car
nival will be the parade on the down.
town streets at 1880. The parade
will lead the crowd to the High
School Building, where the carnival
proper will be held. In the parade
will be clowns, Red Cross nurses,
school children and possibly floats Of
different kinds.
At the school building there will

store booth will offer for sale many
articles Of food value, such as but
ter, eggs, etc. A minstrel show will
also be put on and there will be the

grades are practicing some sort of a
play and the high school pupils will
be assisted by some of the town la
dies in their part of the program.
Posters made by the pupils will be
up in a few days advertising the
fevent.

Big attendance And Good Exhibits At
Fourth Annual Steuens Township Fair

The fourth annual Stevens Town
ship Fair under the auspices Of the
Stevens Township Farm Club was
held last Saturday at Loveland Hall,
south of Chokio, and from the point
of exhibits it was the best fair yet
held. People from different parts
of the township began to arrive early
and at one o'clock those present en-
joyed an excellent dinner of chicken,
salads, sandwiches, beans, cake and
coffee. BY three o'clock in the after
noon the ground was packed with
people and autos from all parts OF
the county, many coming from the
village Of Chokio and a few from
Morris. The day was ideal and just
warm enough SO that people could
enjoy themselves out Of doors.
A colt and calf show was held in
connection with the fair and on an
,othSr page of this issue is a picture
of the calves with their owners.
Only two colts were entered, altho
more were expected. Pens had been
erected to house the pigs in the pig
contest, but only one pig was en-
tered, that being by Annie Ecklund.
Her pig therefore easily carried OFF
1st prize, but would likely have. done
so if others had been entered, as this
is the same pig that took End prize
at the county fair. The Tribune will
print picture of Miss Ecklund and
her pig in a later issue.
Exhibits of all kinds were on dis
play inside the hall. Different school
districts had displays of the work
done by the pupils, and there were
many displays of crochet work and
other ladies' handiwork.. Exhibits OF
canned goods, cooking, garden pro-
ducts and corn were equal to any
county fair only on smaller scale
Mrs. c. w. Nash of Morris acted as
judge of these exhibits.
In the baby beef contest Ernest
Sohmeckpeper of Stevens township
won first prize, Walter O'Brien OF
Stevens township End prize, Earl
Carlson of Stevens township 3rd
prize and Cecil Howard Of Stevens
township 4th prize. All Of these
boys exhibited their calves at the
county fair and the calves that won
1st and End at the Stevens Township
Fair also won 1st and End at the

Great excitement prevailed on the
campus Monday when the annual
battle between the Junior and Fresh
man classes took place over their pen
nants. It so happened that both
classes hung their pennants the
same night and on Monday morning
the members of each class were
startled by the appearance of the pen
nant of the other. The attack was
made by the Junior class and after
a hard fight the Freshman pennant
was secured and divided among the
members of the Junior class. During
the process of division, the Freshmen
gained their second wind and set
about getting the Junior pennant and
here occurred the real battle royal.
Both boys and girls of the two
classes entered into the fight most
heartily and enthusiastically. The
Juniors defended all approaches to
their pennant and it was only when
one of the members of the Freshman
class employed the use of shotgun,
that the pennant was moved from
it's lofty position. AS it fell to the
ground, it was captured by the Fresh
men and borne away. Tuesday morn
ing several Freshmen were wearing
small bits of Junior colors. The
spoils of war were evenly divided
between the classes and it remains
to be seen which is the better class.

the local veterinarian or the county

up and isolating sick pigs or hogs
and the destruction of all animals
that die.
If a general epidemic Of this dread
disease is to be escaped this fall the
hog owners of the county must
promptly notify the local veterinar-
ian or the Farm Bureau Office and be
governed by instructions and advice
given. Anyone knowing of sick pigs
in their neighborhood should advice
one or the other of the above men
toned.

Appleton barely escaped serious
conflagration Wednesday of last
week when the Milwaukee depot was
discovered on fire about noon, at the
height of the wind storm. A blaze
doubtless starting from a cigarette
stub, thrown behind one Of the radi-
ators in the smoking room, had
gained considerable headway, burn
ing thru the floor and had eaten its
way about half way across the build
ing under the floor, when first no.
ticed. After considerable work the
fire was brought under control.

LARGE ENROLMENT AT
WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL
Stock Judging Contest at Farm
School Tomorrow.-Junior-
Freshman Scrap

Enrolment at the University Farm
School has reached 164. This is the
largest enrolment for the first SEM
ester in the history Of the institu-
tion and all classes are crowded to
their limits. It has been found
necessary to run some Of the classes
in as many as four sections. Word
has been received from several Of
the old students that they will re-
turn this week so that the total en-
rollment for the semester will prob
ably reach ITO or It's.
One feature of the present enroll
ment which is particularly crafty
ing to the faculty and all interested
in the development of the school, is
the fact that a larger percentage of
old students have returned this year
than ever before. This stabiliZing
tendency will make it possible to
graduate constantly larger and larg-
er classes.
A large number of inquiries have
come regarding courses to be given
during the second semester. No an
nouncements of second semester
courses has yet been made but it is
generally understood that the Trac-
tion Engineering courses will take
a prominent part on the program for
the boys again this year. New
classes will probably be started in
Home Economics and Domestic
Science at the beginning of the sec
ond semester to accommodate girls
who are entering for the first time.
A Stock Judging Contest will be
held at the school tomorrow after
noon, Oct. 18 at 2 o'clock. This con-
test is under the auspices Of the Boys
and Girls Clubs of Stevens County.
ANY regularly enrolled club member
who has completed project is eli
gible to enter this contest. $4,000
in prizes are offered; these prizes
range from $500 to $500. Two
winners go to st. Paul to enter the
State Stock Judging Contest, Nov.
1922. After the contest on Satur-
day, the boys and girls will be served
a light lunch by the dining hall.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH
AS RESULT OF BOOZE
Appleton Barely Escapes Bad Fire
Auto Accident Near
Clinton

It was generally supposed that all
saloons were now closed in this
state but 1t seems that real bar
room has been operated at a little
town called Doran near Norcross for
some time and no one had the nerve
to report the case. After a man had
lost his life due to too much drink,
the place was closed. Ben Hillestad
with two companions had drunk con-
siderable on the evening of Oct. s
and Ben went to his home on farm
alone, being under the influence Of
liquor. The next afternoon his
charred body was found in the ruins
of his house which had burned up
during the night. As he was alone
at the time there is no explanation,
except that he was drunk and likely
did not know what he was doing and
in an attempt to light a fire he
burned the house down. People Of
Norcross are very indignant toward
the man who operated the blind pig.

Bastin Family to Long Prairie

Ed. Bastin and family left this
week for their new home near Long
Prairie where Mr.. Bastin purchased
a farm a year or more ago. Mr..
Batsin drove thru by auto yesterday
and Mrs. Bastin will go by train to-
morrow.

A very serious auto accident hap
pened just south Of Gracevil1e on the
Clinton road a week ago. when a
Buick car coming from the south in
which Mrs. Annie Hanson and Walt
er Hanson, Of Candy, and Mrs. g. r.
Bowman of Summit, Mont, collided
with an Overland containing Ole
Ellingboe and Gupnard Moe, OF
Granite Falls, throwing all the oc-
cupants out and badly fracturing Mr..
Hanson's left leg. It seems both cars
were on the east side of the road and
met just at the summit Of small
hill. Hanson, in the Buick, thought
Ellingboe was not going to pull over
on his own side Of the road, and
turned to the left himself, meeting
Ellingboe's car head-on as the latter
was executing the same maneuver.
Both cars were badly wrecked, but
none Of the occupants except Ham
son were badly injured.

Baby ScaIded in Bath;
Nurse Is Held for Death

Katherine Mon, a nurse employed
by Michael j. I<ilmartin, of No. 81
South Beach, 143rd street, Neponsit,
L. T., has been arrested on tech
meal charge of homicide. According
to Mr.. Kilmartin, Miss Mon placed
his two-year old infant, Michael, in
a tub, and, it is charged turned on
the hot water and left the room.
When THE nurse returned she
found the baby unconscious and his
body scalded. The nurse grew hys-
terical, then tainted.
DIR. Curran, of the Rockaway
Beach hospital, took the baby there,
where it dec soon after the arrival.
Patro:man Lovett, who went to
the Kilmartin home to arrest the
nurse, found her still hysterica1 and
unable to answer questions and took
her to the hospital. If she has re-
covered sufficiently she will be ar
raigned today.
The police say though they de-
cided to hold Miss Mon on the
technical charge of homicide, they
do not know whether the baby or
the nurse turned on the boiling
water. The parents of the baby
were not in the bathroom at the

Dad Blind. Bow Clown Quits

His father blind from shell shock
and away in a hospital, deserted by
his mother, Charles Spence, q H.
year-old circus clown. ended his saw
dust career at Vincennes, Ind, last
week.
''TIe can't do it any more, miss"
H. C. Campbell, the show owner, told
Miss Margaret Seddelmeyer, secre-
tary of the Associated Charities.
HE used to be the funniest kid
clown in the game. He could make
'em all laugh where the old heads
fell down. But since his dad, who
was over in France, went blind and
his mother quit 'em and went with
the Hagenback out on the Pacific
coast he's gone stale.
Hes as game as l ever saw and
tries hard but he's always longing
for his folks and he can't put it over
like he use to. He's awfully blue
and keeps asking for them"
Miss Seddelmeyer located an un-
Gle, Frank Hale, Hartford City, Ind,
and the boy will live with him.
The boys father was ticket seller
for the show until he became blind.
While he was at war the son lived

SAYS Chinese Would
Prefer German Rule
In Shantung to Japan

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.-Tai Chi
Quo, Chinese technical delegate to
the peace conference, replying to a
statement by Yosuke Matsuoka, sec
rotary Of the japanese peace delega-
ton, regarding the possibility of
Japan's early withdrawal from the
province of Shantung, said today:
German rights in Shantung origi-
mated in an act of Prussian aggres-
sion and piracy. Japan, in driving
Germany out of China, prevented
China from participating in the joint
Anglo-Japanese military operations
against the German forces in Using
Tao. Japan thus made it clear that
she fought against Germany in order
to replace Germany in Shantung.
although China was so prevented
by Japan from participating in the
recovery of Kiao Chow. yet in the
actual military operations in the
Shantung province the Chinese popu-
lace suffered untold hardship and i'm
mense loss as the result Of acts of
aggression and violence on the part
of japanese soldiers.
China would prefer to have Ger
many in Shantung instead of Japan,
if that were the only alternative, be-
cause Shantung is far removed from
Germany, while in the hands of the
Japanese, there is added danger"
