He showed photographs of the civil
lied" Eskimoes, living in dirty little
wooden hut, where they easily took
consumption and sled; then he showed
uucivilized" Eskimoes who lived in
snow houses, which they call igloes,
and are fat and healthy. One of
Peary's Eskimoes who was with him
on the trip to the North Pole, died
here the other day.
The pictures showed how they
climbed over the ice hills and hollows
with their sleds. This man did not
try to carry more than one days pro-
visions with him. and depended upon
what food they could find every day,
and they always found it, either seals
or big white bears. When the ice
opened into big lanes of water they
had sealskin boats which man could
carry on his shoulder and which could
safely carre 20 men on the water.
The Eskimoes are black people with
eyes like the Chinese, but this explor-
er found white Eskimoes, evidently
the descendants of white people who
vent there long before America was
discovered. They certainly were a
wild looking lot, f'and | certainly would

The hall was crowded, and when the
lecture was over, went down very
near Mr.. Steffansson and asked him,
among other things. how he got along
without salt. He said: 1T taker only
about month to get the appetite for
salt out of the human system, about
the same time as the taste for tobac-
co. After that. you need no salt,
and are much better off without it. !"
| have read that man uses salt be-
cause food was preserved with it, bu'
thought we could not live without
salt. and now this man shows we don't
need it at all. This was certainly
very interesting to me.
An expedition is now being formed
here, to 60 into the Arctic regions
with seaplanes, and the prospects are
that the whole unknown area there,
which covers about twenty times the
land surface Of Tennessee. will soon
be accurately mapped by these flying
explorers.

ing, MinnesOta's allotment in the war
department distribution of machinery
for which the Federal government
had no use after the war, was ac-
cepted on behalf of the state by the
Public Safety commission recently,

cation for six of the three ton trucks

rive they will be used for road build
ing in various parts of the county.
Acquisition of this equipment DON
ated by the Federal government on

ference with the commission when
the acceptance was voted.
The equipment list includes 567
automobile trucks we'll adapted for
hauling road building materials,
steam shovels and other similar
machinery and tools. Commissioner

charges and to properly care for the
property. The title to the equip
ment is to remain in the state.

Sergeant James Gaffney, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mike Gaffney returned this
week from overseas duty. Sergeant
Gaffney was a member of the 321
Field Artillery, 157th Brigade, 82nd
division. He enlisted from LaMoure.
N. D., where he had been in the
restaurant business for about five
years. .- He spent about a year in
France, and was in the reserve at
Chateau Thierry, and later took part
in both the San Mihiel and Argonne-
Meuse drives. He says that great
difficulty was experienced by the art
illery in the Argonne in keeping up
with the infantry on account of the
lack of horses and food for the horses.
His outfit moved up one battery and
then had to send the horses back
after another battery. The hay
which the Germans left in too big
hurry to destroy helped out on the
feed problem.

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS
A BOY SCOUT WEEK
Nationwide Appeal Will Be Made
For Everyone to Support Boy
Scout Movement

The Boy Scout Movement has Civ
en- organized boyhood place along
side the Red Cross and other great
organiza tions as a National institu-
tion. In order to extend it's benefits
more rapidly to the millions of Amer
| lean boys who. because Of lack of
volunteer leadership, are still with
out the training of the Boy Scout
program, Hon. w. G.. McAdOo and
eminent gentlemen he has associated
with himself as members of the Citi-
Zens' National Committee, working
in cooperation with the National
Council of the Boy Scouts of America,
pursuant to proclamation by the
President Of the United States, have
formulated a program for nation
wide Boy Scout Week beginning Sun
day, June 8th, and continuing
through to Flag Day, June 14th.
This will be the first nationwide
appeal on a comprehensive plan for
the support of the Boy Scout move
ment. Scouting has been developed
and operated for the last nine years
practically on self-supporting
basis. Income from registrations,
supplies, and so forth, have about
covered running expenses. Field and
extension work alone have been de-
pendent upon volunteer contribu
tions.
The first objective of this campaign
is to secure 100000 Associate Mem
bers of the National Council, Boy
Scouts of America as an assurance
of enlarged usefulness.
This Associate Membership is Off
cred to mothers and fathers of Am
erican boys and other adult Ameri-
can citizens upon payment of $1.OO
or more as membership dues.
1t is expected that besides the fin
ancial support which this new mem
bership will give the organization
many associate members will volun-
teer as scoutmasters, assistant scout
masters, members of troop commit
tees and members of local councils;
and that many others will be active
in organizing new troops of Scouts
in connection with their churches,
schools and other institutions and,

Has Bullet That Wounded Son

NJ. P. McNally of Chokio, has the
bullet with which his son, NJ. J.
McNally was wounded in the fighting
in the ArgOnne Forest on November
l, and also the Identification tag
which he wore and which was bent
and punctured by the bullet The
young man was in the Marines and
was wounded just after going over
the top early in the morning. He
was bending over his corporal who
had been wounded and just then was
himself struck by a machine gun bull
let which entered his chest and took
slanting course thru his lung on
account of his bending over. He lay
where he fell and shortly after a
stretcher bearer came along and put
a pack under his head, but considered
him too seriously wounded to move.
Young McNally considered himself
able to move but decided it was SAT-
est to stay where he was on account
of the rain of machine gun bullets.
Eventually, the enemy machine guns
we're cleaned out, and he then walked
to the dressing station. He is now
fully recovered and was home recent
ly on furlough, leaving again last
week for Portsmouth to rejoin his
unit. When he returned, he left
these souvenirs" with his father.

''GLACIER TRAIL" NEW
NAME FOR HIGHWAY
Runs Thru Morris From st. Paul to
Breckenridge Then on to
Glacier Park

The old EAST and West High
way which started at St. Paul and
came as far as Norris and then
branched off to Browns Valley and
Aberdeen, has been discontinued as
far as the name and route are con-
cerned and new trail has been de-
signated. The new highway will be
known as the "Glacier Trail" and
will follow the old East and West
Highway as far as Morris and then
continue on to Breckenridge and then
west to the Glacier National Park.
This means that Norris will be on
a direct highway from the Twin Ci-
ties to the park.
The emblem to be used for the
Glacier Trail is the well-known en-
blem of Glacier Park, which is
known as "Kenney's Goat" and
which is used so extensively by the
Great Northern Railroad in it's ad-
Vertising. Road signs have been pur-
chased to mark the new trail and
each county will be asked to pay for
these until the Association completes
a plan of finances.
In order to put new life into the
Association and give it the publicity
that such beautiful trail deserves,
a meeting will be held at Willmar
on Monday, June 9. At this meet
ing new set of officers will be elect
ed and advertising plans discussed.
A nominating committee has already
been named and one of the members
is E. J. Jones of Norris
Among those from Morris who will
attend the meeting are P L. Spooner,
E. J. Jones, Mayor Geenty, c. R.
Wollthan, J. c. Morrison, H C. Olson,
c. A. Dushek, F. A. Hancock and J.
R. Kruger. Delegates will also be
present from Donnelly and Hancock.

BABY CLINIC WILL
BE HELD NEXT WEEK
State Board of Health Will Assist
Local Physicians in Examining
Children

For the success of the Morris Baby
Clinic to be held in the High School
building Wednesday, June II, every
effort is being made.
Members of the State Board of
Health will conduct this clinic, and
will likely be assisted by local ply
sicians. A doctor and nurse will be
sent out by the State Board of Health
in the interest of better babies. All
babies and children up to five years
of age from Morris or the community
around Morris will be considered and
examined free of charge, that their
parents may have the benefit of the
best medical advice.
The hours set for the clinic are
from to Il a. m. and from l to 5
p. m, and will be for the one day
only. The women Of Morris who have
been instrumental in bringing this
clinic to the city earnestly hope that
every mother Of baby or young
child will feel free to take advantage
of all the clinic offers.
Many Of the ills of later life might
be avoided if every child was sub
mitted to competent medical inspec-
tion at an early age. Physical i'm
perfections are very common in chill
dren and when the examinations of
men for draft were held they showed
a rather high percentage of ills
which could have been corrected in
childhood.
Very few children escape throat
trouble in some form or other
Adenoids and enlarged tonsils are
easily corrected in the young, but if
allowed to remain for a prolonged
period they will injure beyond re-
pair. They are very prolific cause
for a great many evils Of later life.
Eye and ear complications are COM
mon complaints Of childhood and on
ly the competent physicians realize
all the ills that may come from these
if not corrected.
