Plans are being formulated by the
Minnesota Public Health associa-
tion for a campaign to raise $780,

for fighting tuberculosis within the
state during 1920.
The disease claimed a toll of 2,43O
lives last year, according to figures
compiled by the association, the ma
jority of the victims being between

present $1,000 active cases of tuber-
culosis in the state, the report of the
association said. Of these, the report
says, 1880 should be taken to sani-
tariums for expert care.

the sale Of the Red Cross Christmas
seals is to be used directly. except for
small amount required for admin
istrative work in each county, for
educational purposes and the estab-
lishment Of various health clinics.

LOCAL LEGION POST
IS GROWING RAPIDLY
New Members Applying Daily
American Legion Buttons !
Ordered

Membership in the Walter Trip
Post of the American Legion is stead
lily growing, and with service men
coming in to receive their applica-
tion blanks for the state bonus, it is
expected that material gains will be
made within the next few weeks. At
this time there are more than 100
members.
1t has been decided to give dance
at the Morris armory on the evening
of Monday, Nov. 10, under the aus
pices of the post. This dance would
istice Day, but it was impossible to
get an orchestra for that date. This
dance will be one of the real treats
of the year.
American Legion buttons have
been ordered and will likely be ready
for distribution at the next meeting.
Any service man who has not en-
tirely settled his claim against the
government, is urged to bring his
grievance to an officer of the Post.
One of the objects of the organiZa-
tion is to provide means of setting
all difficulties between service men
and the government. Several mem
bers are having their cases handled
at the present time.
About fifteen members from the
Post will attend the National Legion
convention in Minneapolis next week.

PAVING COMPLETED In
MORRIS CITY LIMITS
Work on Atlantic Avenue Finished
Yesterday.-Crew Laid Up for
Winter

The last bucket of cement was
poured yesterday at noon to COM
plete the paving of Atlantic avenue.
This finishes the work of paving in
the city limits and the crews will lay
up now until spring, when the paw
ing of the road to Hancock will start
This has been slow job and At
lantic avenue has been torn up prac-
tically all summer, and everybody
will be glad to know that the work
is now done. Work has been de-
layed because the proper grade Of
gravel could not be secured.
There has been a great deal of
comment lately concerning the paw
ing which has been done since the
cold weather started. Many believe
that this cement will be no good, as
it might have frozen before it set.
On Tuesday a representative from
the National Cement Association was
in town and he expressed his opin-
entirely disinterested in the work
and gave only his honest opinion.
He said, "The concrete laid last will
without doubt be the best. This
is be ideal time of the year to lay
cement. If it does not freeze during
the first twenty-four hours after it
is poured and then freezes after that
and stays froze it will make the very
best of cement"
At this time no one can tell just
when the street can be used. If the
city commission accepts the job the
street can be opened for traffic with
in thirty or forty days, but if the
city does not accept the paving then
the contractors will likely close the
street up tight and leave it closed
until spring in order to protect them
selves

AMENDMENTS WIN
BY BIG MAJORITY
S. A. Siverts Elected Commissioner
For Four Years, G. A. Dushek.
For Two Years

The charter amendments won by
a handsome majority at the munich
pal election on Tuesday. The first
amendment raises the maximum tax
levy from 20 to 80 mills and will
permit the city commission to pro-
vide for material and equipment bad
1y needed by the city in next years
budget.
The second amendment provides
that the cost of paving street inter-
sects may be spread over number Of
years by the issuing of certificates Of
indebtedness. This means that the
city will easily take care Of the cost
of the city's share of the paving done
this year, and will be enabled to take
care Of future demands of this kind
as rapidly as property owners petit
tion to have street paving done.
The citizens of Morris once more
demonstrated their progressiveness
by the we'll nigh unanimous vote by
which they ratified these amend
ments.
