TT is hard. to see how the public
can lose In any way by the forma-
i tion OF a new society from the
progressive element in the Academy.
and there is always the chance that
the occasion may prove to be one of
those little spurs that always seem to
be required before even 'progressives"
can make progress.
That few, if any. of these progress
sives" 60 so far as to actually with
draw from the parent institution that
has so many money prizes to distrib-
ute each fall and spring will make
those progressives who do not happen
TO be included in the new society
smile. 1t will also reassure the elderly
and conservative of the Academy. They
are not to be entirely deserted It
seems. The kind of innocuous pic
lures and sculptures which they have
accepted from these rebels during the
last fifteen years they can still receive
and their exhibitions and their prize
givings can continue exactly as be-
fore; it is only the experimental works
that need be sent by the rebels to the
new salon, which opens on November
l at the Gimpel and Wildenstein CAL
lery.
Among the rebels mentioned in some
OF the published lists are such names
as ]. Alden Weir Childe Hassam. 1. r.
Wiles, Edmund Tarbell. Paul Bartlett,
Elmer Schofeld. Carl Melchers, Paul
Dougherty, &C. 1t is difficult to be-
lleve that any of these men have been
much curbed IN times past by their
fellow academicians or to imagine that
they will be much more effective in
the future under the tutelage of Jonas
Lie, one of the leaders of the new or
ganization.
The new society, in fact, is a COM
promise between the Independent So
ciety, which erects no barriers to tall
ent of any kind, and the Academy,
which erects so many. 1t might seem,

ARMENIAN AND SYRIAN
PEOPLE NEED RELIEF
Citizens of Stevens County Asked to
Help Raise Share of Large
Fund

A meeting of several business men
of Morris was held at the CONNER
cial Club Rooms Monday to get plans
started for the campaign to raise
$2500 in Stevens county, as it's share
toward the $3O,00O,OOO fund and the
relief of the Armenian and Syrian
people. Rev. Stowe of Hancock,
chairman for the county, was pres
ent and proceeded to get the Morris
District organized.
The county has been divided the
same as for the Fourth Liberty Loan
and the War Work Drive. The Nor
ris district comprises the City of
Morris and the townships of Darnen,
Morris, Framnas and Swan Lake.
This district must raise $1,000 of the
$250O and that amount is divided
as follows: City of Morris $525,
Darnen township $11O, Morris town
ship 500, Framnas township $3.50
and Swan Lake township $145. This
is not a large amount and should be
raised without any dif1cutly.A The
biggest thing in connection with
the campaign will be to get it be-
fore the people and inform them of
the necessity of helping the people
Of these countries. This is a real
chance to do something for humanity
and should be welcomed by every
body.
E. W. Nobbs Of Morris has been
appointed as chairman of the Norris
District and the drive will be made
the week of January 12\to 10. A
house to house canvass is being
planned in this district The chair
man of the townships have not been
named yet but will be in a few days.
The government is behind this
movement and Governor Burnquist
has himself accepted the position as
chairman of the state.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT AT
WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL
Second Semester Opens Next Mo"
day.-Dormitories Fille1
Capacity

The second semester begins at the
West Central School of Agriculture
next Monday with the brightest pros
poets in it's history. Already there
are over two hundred students en-
rolled and this is greater number
than can be Accommodated in the
dOrmitories: There are others wish
ing to attend here but they cannot
be accepted as it is necessary now
to find rooms down town for some of
the young men. More rooms are still
needed to accommodate these students.
Every dormitory is filled to capacity
and all available space is taken. Mr..
Bye expects to move into his new cot
tage this week and the rooms he
vacates will be used for the students.
The school closed Dec 21st for the
holidays.
ALI students will be vaccinated for
pneumonia when they enroll. Those
who attended for the first semester
have already been vaccinated against
this disease.
The West Central School now has
the finest equipment possible to get
and the faculty is complete. Mr.. A.
C. Heine, who was here last year to
teach agricultural engineering, will
return for the second semester, hav-
ing been released from the navy
mechanics school at Dunwoody.
Plans are already under way for
the short course to be held in Febru-
ary. A tractor school will also be
held the last of February for two
days and men and boys from all ihe
counties in this section may attend.
The second week in April the Boys
and Girls Club work will be taken
up and the boys and girls from a
half-dOzen counties in this section
will attend the school. About 800
are expected. This will take the place
Of the Junior Short Course held last
year.

$50 For a Dinner

Are you inclined to grumble at the
supply of butter you can "afford"
80 consume? In England the butter
ration is 1 ounce a week per person.
In France, according to recent re-
ports, butter and cheese are said to
be scarce and bad weather has in
terferred with the fishing until the
demand is much greater than the
supply, and high prices are the re-
suit. One rabbit costs $1.0O. 1t
takes $3.50 to secure a pheasant,
and chickens sell for $.63 to $.86 per
pound
Captain Charles Stewart of the
59th Artillery of the United States
Army who has just returned to his
home in Washington after command

found to eat in Paris, where he had
gone after the signing Of the armis-
tiCe.
WELL" said Captain Stewart,
You can't get butter or sugar and
there's no milk to be had and, no
eggs, but we got eight oysters with
green rims on them, a partridge, an
other bird, and steak and the bill
was $50 francs for four Of us-about

ment that the first number will be
given Thursday, January Is, at the
Orpheum Theatre. The entertain
ment will be furnished by the Chi
cago Male Quartette, four gentlemen
singers who have appeared in Morris
before and who were requested to
return at this time. Those who heard
them on previous engagements will
remember them we'll and be pleased
to have the chance Of listening to
them again. There are many people
who purchased season tickets to the
course that have not had seats re-
served and they should do so at once.
They can be reserved at Krueger's
Drug Store.
The second number of the course

ition of a complete play. This date

MORRIS SCHOOLS OPEN
AFTER LONG VACATION
Teachers All Present and Attendance
is Almost Normal, Considering
Weather

The Morris Public Schools opened
again Monday after forced vaca-
tion Of ten weeks due to influenza.
All of the teachers and the greater
part of the pupils were on hand Mon
day morning ready to take up the
work where they left off. The in
f1uenza had so decreased that few
parents kept their children at home.
In homes where influenza was still
prevalent, or where they had just
recovered, the children we're kept at
home and any children who came to
school not feeling we'll we're immedi-
ateIy sent home About Sc per cent
of the pupils we're on hand the first
day and the attendance is about nor-
NAL, considering the severe weather
of the first few days.
In order to make up the work lost
sessions will be held every holiday
except Good Friday. School will also
be held tomorrow and next Saturday,
and then every other Saturday after
that. 1t is probable that the school
will continue all thru the month of
June and will close June 27 instead
of May 80. Military training and
Junior Red Cross work have been
discontinued and the two hours de-
voted to these exercises each week
will be used for regular school work.
AS a result of the long closing the
work will be more intensive and the
high school pupils will be asked to
spend more time in studying their
lessons at home. The assignments
will likely be longer also. In spite Of
the fact that so much time has been
lost, yet Superintendent Utne and his
corps of teachers are anticipating a
very successful school year.
Mrs. O'Connell resigned her posi-
tion at Christmas time and Miss
Myrtle Waylander of Grove City has
taken her place as teacher of arith-
metic, history and spelling in the
7th and 9Th grades. Miss Waylander
is graduate Of the advanced course
at the st. Cloud normal and has
taught for several years.
The Victory Boys and GirlSAare
also at work to raise their share of
the money in the United War Work
Campaign. The school children of
Stevens county have pledged them
selves to raise $1,000 and out Of this
the Morris High School has pledged
$3.50.

Gerhard Hagen arrived in Morris
Monday and will make his home here
in the future. He expects to con-

and was discharged the 1st of De-
cember. While in the service his
wife lived with relatives at Hollo-
way and just week after Mr.. Hagen

en- sick and died. A fine baby girl was
born a couple of weeks before and
the little one is getting along fine
