Louis Vinie Home.

Louis Vinje, son of Captain and
Mrs. Vinje, has returned from Uncle
Sans service and will remain here
in Morris assisting his father in the
store. Louis was in a machine gun
unit and saw service in the Argonne,
where he was at the front for five
weeks without rest or a chance for
even a bath. After the first severe
fight, his unit was just behind the
infantry to repulse counter attacks,
but the Huns kept going so fast that
the machine guns had little to do
but throw barrages. Louis talks
most Interestingly of his experiences
over there, and gives one a good
idea of the fine spirit the boys dis
played in enduring the great hard
ships of campaigning.

DRIVE FOR MEMORIAL
ARMORY NEXT WEEK
Opportunity Given to Show Personal
Appreciation for the Soldiers
Sacrifices

Next week the people of Stevens
county will have an opportunity to
show their personal appreciation for
the sacrifices which the soldiers, sail
ors and marines from Stevens county
made in the World War by making a
donation to the fund for the Stevens
County Memorial ArmOry.
The Stevens County Memorial Ar
mOry Finance Committee met on
Tuesday evening, and planned for a
drive to raise $4,000 or more in
which every family of Stevens county
might have a part and thus give to
the Stevens County Memorial ArmOry
(the most of the funds for which
would otherwise be raised by taxa
tion) a distinctive character as a
memorial building erected by the
people of this county as testimonial
of appreciation for the services and
sacrifices made by the boys who have
been in the service. When the drive
is completed the names of the donors
will be inscribed in bound volume
which will be placed in the Memorial
Room where the other war records
and trophies will be gathered. This
method of concluding the financing
of the Memorial Armory makes it
not mere pocketbook affair, but a
tangible appreciation of the heart
interest which the people of the coun-
ty have in the boys.
The history of the development of
this Memorial Armory idea is already
familiar to Tribune readers, and the
illustrations of the Memorial Armory
and the Memorial Room have already
been published, so that citizens will
no doubt make ready response when
called upon next Thursday. Pledges
will be taken at that time payable
October /.

STEVENS COUNTY WILL
OBSERVE SCOUT WEEK
Four Days Set Aside to Secure Funds
For Boy Scout Needs and AssOci-
ate Members

For the first time in the history
of the Boy Scout movement, a nation
wide appeal on a comprehensive plan
is made for the support Of the Ma
tional Organization. Scouting has
been developed and operated for the
last nine years practically on a self
supporting basis. The income from
registrations, printed matter and
supplies have about covered the run
ming expenses. Whatever field and
extension work has been done has
been dependent upon volunteer con-
tributions.
The Boy Scouts of America is
chartered by congress and in ac-
cordance with the terms of it's chart
er renders report annually to con-
gress. The record of achievement
and universally recognized value Of
the Scout program educatiOnally,
has led to the conviction that the
time has come for definite plans to
largely extend the movement. This
can only be accomplished with ade-
quate financial resources.
The week beginning June was
set aside as boy Scout Week" when
an intensive campaign to secure the
necessary funds for local Boy Scout
needs and the quota Of the commun-
ity in the nationwide drive for nine
million associate members of the Ma
tional Council was to be made. The
matter was not taken up in Stevens
county in time to make the drive here
this week, but men interested in the
Boy Scout movement met at the Com
mercial Club rooms in II Morris on
Tuesday and decided to put on the
drive a week later, which will be
next week. Those present at the
meeting were F. A. SteYer, County
Agent Nash, e. w. Nobbs, Rev.
Powell, Mr.. Sorlie and S. Hunter.
The number of associate members
expected from this county is IS.
This has been apportioned out as
follows: Morris 35, Hancock 20,
Donnelly 15, Chokio 10 and Alberta
S. Each associate member Is re-
quired to pay $1.0O. A Boy Scout
troop has been organized at Hancock
and Mr.. Sorlie Is to act as leader OF
! the Boy Scouts in Morris and big
| organization is expected here.

MILLION DOLLAR BAND
IN MORRIS YESTERDAY
Famous Military Organization From
Overseas Gave Two Concerts
Here

Arrangements were made late last
week to bring the Million Dollar
Band" to Morris and this famous
musical organization gave two con-
certs here yesterday, under the aus
pices of Company "K." Afternoon
and evenings programs were given at
the Orpheum and the house was
packed to capacity.
The boys we're given rOusing
welcome and they in turn furnished
music which gladdened the hearts Of
those who heard it.
Dressed in full uniform, with their
tin hats, packs and Oversea belts,
these fellows are appearing in the
towns of the state looking just the
same as they did when they swung
along the streets in the villages Of
France.
1t is the fellows individually that
gives to the band it's character.
They are young fellows, all of them.
Many had college training. Two or
three happen to be singers who won
enviable reputation in the east. ALI
these men left their studies or work
to give their services when the call
came. They have seen grim sights
of the battlefield. Their comrades
have been cut down before their own
eyes by the machine gun fire of the
enemy. Yet they are high spirited,
fine disciplined fellows. They are
boyish and full of fun, the kind of
chaps whom everyone likes to meet.
Their coming was made the occasion
for extending a general welcome to
extending general welcome to
every man in this entire community
who has been in service, either
abroad or at home.
"The Million Dollar Band" is the
band summoned to Paris by General
Pershing and awarded first prize in
competition with the famous French
War Veterans Band, now touring
America and other excellent organ
izations.
The band also won its name in
France-in the service. General
Liggett, commenting on the excellent
work of the band, stated that it was
worth million dollars to the Ameri-
can army.
All of the boys in the band, thirty
five in number, are from the north
west-from the state of Minnesota
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia.

NO FUNDS AVAILABLE
FOR GUARD TRAINING
Summer Encampment Declared Out
of Question Unless the Money
is Authorized

The following from the Mime
apolis Tribune of last Friday is of
Importance to the people of Stevens
county and especially to the members
of Company K, as they had planned
on d week, or ten-day encampment
this summer:
"Unless the present Congress makes
available an appropriation for the
purpose, the three infantry regiments
of the Minnesota National guard will
not have summer encampment this
year, according to Major Garis, chief
Of staff to Adjutant General Rhinow.
Major Garis said he wrote the War
department several weeks ago with
reference to the summer guard en-
campment and was informed that no
funds were available for the pur-
pose.
'"The regular army inspector-in-
structor of the Minnesota National
guard favors an encampment which
will enable all three regiments to be
trained and manuevered together in
brigade formation, according to
Major Garis, and it is possible that
! if funds for the encampment are
made available the War department
will authorize the use of the Fort
Smelling reservation for the encamp-
ment.
''The War department has already
authorized the use of the Fort Smell
ing rife range by the Minnesota
National guard and target practice
will begin there soon," Major Garis
said. 'tThe camp site used by the
First Minnesota infantry and First
Minnesota field artillery at Fort
Smelling would afford a good place
! for the National guard camp. The
water mains are in good condition
and some of the kitchens erected at
the time of mobilization are still
available. For brigade maneuvers
this site would be ideal, except for
being located so close to the large
cities
"Maior Garis said the state camp
site at Lake City is too small to per
nit Of brigade maneuvers, although
it might accommodate one regiment
at a time. He doubts If the guard
eneampment can be held until late IN
August, even though the present
Congress makes an appropriation fol
the purpose.
"None of the regiments Of the
present Minnesota. National guarC
has had any extensive field training
and the officers are particularly
anxious that an encampment be helC
this year."

coach, Miss Dodds. Those taking the
parts seemed perfectly at home on
the stage without an exception and
no symptoms of stage fright were
visible. The play was four-act
drama and the actors held the aud
ience all the way thru. The house
was packed and the receipts we're
good. This money will be used by
the high school seniors to purchase a
bronze tablet containing the names
Of all former students who served in
the war and also to help support a
French war orphan.

''GLACIER TRAIL" WILL
BE BLAZED AND PAVED
Development Program Launched at
Meeting at Willmar Monday
Afternoon

Fifty representative citizens of
West Central Minnesota organized
the Glacier Trail Association to i'm
prove and develop the "GIacier TraiP'
the important trunk highway con-
Meeting the twin cities and Glacier
National Park, at a meeting held at
Willmar on Monday afternoon.
e. J. Jones, J. H. Devenney, P. L.
SpOoner of Morris, L. P. Norby of
Donnelly, represented Stevens county
at the meeting.
To blaze, to pave with approved
hard surface material, to maintain
tourist information bureaus, and
otherwise to develop, advertise and
popularize the Glacier Trail will be
the general policy of the Association.
The Glacier Trail was registered
and approved by the State Highway
Commission early in 1918, but little
has been done heretofore to organize
or improve it because of war condi-
tions. Now the organization is pre-
pared not only to blaze and sign
board the trail thruout it's entire
route, but also to finance and adver-
tise it on a scale comparable with
other important trans-continenta1
trails.
Commencing at the Twin Cities,
the Glacier Trail runs westward
along the line of the Great North
ern thru Wayzata, Litchfield, Will
mar, Benson, Morris and Herman to
Breckenridge, thence north to Moor
head and Fargo, and thence wester-
Glacier National Park.
'K1nney's Goat" the emblem, it
will be remembered, which made
Glacier National Park famous, will
be the official emblem of the Glacier
Trail, due to the courtesy Of Louis
w. Hill and the Great Northern
Railway. The Goat, in blue and
white enamel, will surmount the stan
dard trail markings, which will con-
sist of two six-inch stripes separated
by a green stripe of equal width, to-
gether with the usual marks to in
dicate turns, intersections and cross
ings, and distances.
The meeting Monday was the re-
suit of the activity of temporary
organization committee, of which D.
N. Tallman, of Wil1mar, was chair
man and F. G. Thornton, of Benson,
was secretary. The following officers
of the Glacier Trail Association were
