WILL ENFORCE LAWS
RELATING TO MINORS
Parents and Teachers Discuss Prob
lens at Meeting Held Wednes-
day Evening.

A parents and teachers meeting
was held in the high school auditor
ium Wednesday evening and many
matters of Importance concerning the
welfare of the young people of the
city we're discussed. It was decided
that better cooperation between the
home and the school was needed in
order to train the boys and girls in
the right way.
About $50 people attended the
netting and several prominent peo-
pie of the city gave talks. Miss
Isabella Dodds, principal of the high
school, spoke on behalf of the teach
ers. Mrs. c. B. Burpee gave a talk
full of good judgment and advise.
Rev. F. H. Richardson spoke in be-
half of the parents, and J. H.
Adams talked for the board of edu-
cation. Other speakers were Supt.
P. E. Miller, Judge Beise. County At
torney Cherry, Rev. A. Olson, Super
intendent Utne and Mrs. w. A. Chap
man.
The question of law enforcement
as it relates to boys of school age.
especially in regard to pool halls,
bowling alleys and the cigarette
habit, was discussed and it was the
unanimous opinion of all present
that the law excluding minors from
pool halls and bowling alleys should
be strictly enforced. County Attor-
ney Cherry assured those at the meet
ing that this would be done. All felt
that the use of cigarettes on the part
of young boys should be discouraged
and stopped if possible. The law
making it a misdemeanor to sell or
give cigarettes to minors will also be
enforced.
The parents present felt that the
meeting was of such value that steps
were taken to organize parents and
teachers association and committee
consisting of Mrs. G. B. Burpee, Miss
Dodds and Mrs. Chapman were ap-
pointed to draw up plans and call a
meeting of the parents and teachers
in the near future.
After the business session a pro-
gram was given and a lunch served
by the teachers. Everybody present
was labelled with card bearing his
or her name and people became ac-
quainted without waiting for an in
PRODUCTION. The program consisted
of vocal solos by Mr.. O'Connell, a
patriotic reading to music by Miss
Helen Woodman, and vocal selec-
tions by Mrs. G. B. Sylvander.

Letter from Robert Morrison.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Morrison have
received letter written by their son
Robert in France, on December 81.
Among other things, he says:
II will drop you a line to let you
know 1 am we'll and hope these few
lines find you the same. This is a
very funny Christmas to me, for
there is no snow on the ground here
at all. 1t has been raining every
day for the last three weeks here
We had a few flakes of snow Christ
mas morning. I can see snow on the
mountain top from where we are.
The mountain is about four miles
away. The closest town we are to
is Condilly, and we are about eight
miles from Toul. That is a large
place.
"Well, this is New Years morning
and it is a fine morning. We can
run around in our shirt sleeves. What
do you think of that?"

The Students Club.

The sudden relapse experienced by
the weather man interfered only
slightly with the attendance at the
bi-weekly meeting of the Students
Club, held Monday at the home of Mrs.
L. C. Spooner.
Routine business being disposed of,
Mrs. Stever, substituting as leader for
Miss King, took up the topic of "Na-
tional Efficiency"
Mrs. Jennings gave a comprehens-
i've paper on "Child Welfare", in
which she interestingly showed the
necessity of surrounding every child
with physical and educational benefits
The need of greater educational ad-
vantages was shown by the fact, brot
out, that in the first registration, un-
der the selective act, 100000 young
men could not write.
A very apropos paper under the
caption of Government control OF
Railroads and Communications" was
read by Mrs. Stone. A sketch of the
railroads was given, from the day
when their motive power consisted Of
combination of horsefesh and gra-
vitation, to our more modern age. The
wireless telegraph and it's more recent
companion, the wireless telephone
were also spoken of.
Mrs. Stever concluded a very well
prepared program with talk and
article on "Conservation and Govern,
ment Control of Natural Resources"
The Club adjourning to meet with
Mrs. Hancock, February II. The hos,
tess served delightful refreshments.

PROF. FRED B. HILL
VICTIM OF INFLUENZA
Mourned by Many Old Friends Here
in Morris, Where He Grew to
Manhood.

When the news was received here
last Thursday of the death of Prof.
Fred B. Hill of Northfield, there were
deep-felt expressions of sorrow by
the old friends among whom he grew
to manhood. He graduated from
local high school, and was one of
the Morris boys whose successful car
eer has been watched with pride as
he took high place in the educa-
tional and religious activities of the
state.
The following from the Northfield
News will be of especial interest to
Norris readers:
Nothing has thrown such a pail
over the entire community in many
a day as the sad news which spread
rapidly Wednesday evening that
Fred Hill was dead, victim of the
dread and treacherous Influenza
pneumonia.
ION Friday, Jan. II, Mr.. Hill be-
came i'll with influenza which ran a
high fever for several days. On
Thursday, Jan. %, he became worse
and pneumonia quickly developed in
both lungs. Dr. J. M. Lejoi, Min
neapolis specialist, was called into
consultation and every effort was
made to save the life of the patient.
Morris tribune., 1919-02-07

Hopes were at a high point on Sunday
and it was thought that the crisis
had passed.
''There came sudden change for
the worse on Wednesday morning and
the heart action began to grow weak
er. DR.. Lejoi was again summoned
but the poison of the influenza germs
had overpowered the strength of the
heart to such an extent that there
came gradual weakening and he
quietly died at 1920 p. M, Wednesday
January 20. A TRANSMISSION of blood
was used as a final effort to rally
the patients forces but his hard work
during the past months had sapped
his system of it's reserve strength.
"Mr. Hill is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Deborah w. Hill; FIVE children.

COST OF THE WAR AS
MEASURED In DOLLARS
Billions of Dollars And Millions of
Lives Sacrificed By All
Nations.

When the cost of the recent war
in life and wealth is figured up it
makes figures which are staggering
almost beyond realization.
The money expended by the seven
leading belligerents for purely war
purposes during the four years has
been estimated at about $134,OOO,-
100000. 1t is about One-third of the
total national wealth of the chief
belligerents. The combined average
daily war cost, computed on four
year basis, is about $107, 100000, or
$4,479,O00 each hour of the day.
These astounding expenditures
have already entailed debt for these
nations six times greater than was
their total debt prior to the war, re-
presenting the enormous sum OF
$129, ,OOO,OOO,O
But the greatest and most irrepar-
able loss entailed by the war is, of
course, the loss of human life. 1t is
the greatest because life is a priceless
thing, and no value can be set upon
it. Still in economics, as in all other
sciences, in treating Of man, emotion
al considerations are set aside, and a
purely economic value, in terms of
money, has been placed upon the in
dividual, based upon his potential
productive power.
Thus Mr.. M. Barriol, the celebrated
actUary, gives the following figures
as the capital value of man: In the
United States, $4,10O; in Great Brit
tain, $4,14O; in Germany, $3.50; in
France, $4,000; in Russia, 5000;
in Austria-Hungary, $1,000, or an
average capital value for the foreign
nations of S2,892.
The number of men already lost is
8,509,0O0 killed and 7,175,000 per-
manently wounded, or total of 49,
684,OOO. Thus society has been i'm
poverished thru the death and
permanent disability of a part of its
productive man-power to the extent
of $45, 5,OOO,OOO,O00.

more the French dead file down the

it would require the daylight of five
weeks more. Two months and a hall
would be required for the Allied deaC

weeks. For four months men actual
ly killed in the war would pass

Collecting Material for History.

Mrs. F. A. Hancock, who is chair
man for Stevens county in the work
of collecting material for the history
of the soldiers from this county, is do
ing her best to get the boys to fill out
blanks as soon as they return from
camps or abroad. A history Of every
boy who was in the service is wanted
and if any have not yet filled out
the blanks they should do so at once.
Many Of the boys come home on
night trains and are home for sew
eral week before people know about
it and for this reason it is hard TO
keep track of them.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW AND
TRACTOR EXPOSITION
Northwestern Automobile And Indus
trial Exposition Will Open
Feb. Is

The iron horse that doesn't need
three feeds of grain day and that
does the work of six of his flesh and
blood brothers-the iron horse that is
known officially as the Tractor is
billed to enjoy the biggest week in his
career this month.
1t will be the week of the Tractor
Show at the Exposition Building
Minneapolis, from Feb. Is to %. The
Tractor Show will be staged this year
with the Northwestern Automobile
and Industrial Exposition but the
iron horse is prancing so spirited this
year that he threatens to OvershadOW
the passenger cars and the electrics
and all the rest of them.
All makes, styles and prices of trac-
tors will be on exhibit in the Exposi-
tion building show week. There will
be 10000 feet of space devoted ex-
clusively to them. Expert demon
strators from all the factories in
America will prove, too, that they are
good for more than plowing and
seeding and narrowing. Every use
to which they can be put will be
demonstrated in the great hall where
the voices of Calve, Patti, Nordica
and other famous operatic stars of
the last century often thrilled vast
audiences.
This annual twin city classic is
fast becoming recognized as the
country's greatest exhibition of i'm
proved labor-saving machinery. From
the latest designs of milking ma
chimes and vacuum cleaners and
electric lighting plants to threshing
machinery and war relics, the
building will be crowded from roof
to cellar. ?.
= Especial consideration will be shown
the women this year with a preten-
tious display of all things that go into
the machinery of the household.
The part that electricity is playing
in the American home in 1919 will
receive especial emphasis, with cleo
trio flat irons and washing machines
and dishwashing devices.
The northwest is beginning to
realize the immensity of the exposi-
ton that has become an annual in
stitution, factor in the life ot
this section. Demands for space are
said by the management to be the
best index of business conditions ant
interest of the people generally.
The huge Exposition Building pro
vides $4,000 square feet, total il
excess of any other building of SINH
lar nature in the United States. Ever
this vast grand total is proving made
quate for the demands made upon it
