HEALTH WEAKNESS
DISCLOSED BY WAR
Significance Of Public Health Work
Discussed by DR.. Sundwall, of
the University

"The late war was the first health
census which the nation has taken
since the Civil war, and disclosed that
over one-third we're disqualified" de-
clared Dr. John Sundwall, Professor
of Hygiene and Director Of the Uni
evrsity Health Service, at his ad-
dress before the Parents and Teach
ers' Association at the High School on
Monday evening.
All should therefore be interested
in public health work both for the
purpose of promoting the health of
the nation and being personally en-
abled to reach vigorous old age,
and also to help stamp out such pre-
ventable diseases as tuberculosis,
pneumonia, heart disease, cancer, etc.
Men engaged in public health work
hope to Danish the loss from pre-
ventable diseases, and the work is be-
ing done along four lines, child well
fare, school hygiene, conservation Of
adults and mental hygiene.
Of children, one out Of five is
doomed to die before it attains the age
OF one year, and in large cities half
Of them die before five years. The
majority die from intestinal trou-
bles, yet where especial attention is
given to children's food, as at Franz
1ngham, Mass, not one death has
been due to nutritional disturbances!
The United States stands 18th in in
fant mortalityH
School hygiene discloses that 2O,-
600 children will die from diphtheria,
and a SIMILAR number each from
scarlet fever, measles and whoopinf

INTERCHURCH SURVEY
TO BE MADE In COUNTY
Preliminary to a Plan Of Religious
Cooperation for Services in Every
Community

The Interchurch World Movement
a cooperative movement of the Evan
gelical churches of America is max
ing a survey of Stevens county for
the purpose of accurately locating all
of the churches on the map and Sc
curing the facts that relate to the
economic, social, educational and re-
ligious work in the county. The
purpose of the survey is to form a
for a great program of ad-
vance in religious work in the Un-
tied States and the world.
A meeting of pastors was held
yesterday in the tabernacle and Rev.
Albert z. Mann, state supervisor of
the survey for Minnesota presented
the movement and arranged for the
survey in this county. Rev. F. H.
Richardson was appointed leader of
a team of men who will gather the

BIG CORN SHOW AT
WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL
First Annual Students Corn Show to
Be Held Promises to Be
Interesting

The first annual student corn show
which is to be held at the West Cen
trail School of Agriculture Saturday,
Nov. 18th, promises to be one of the
most interesting affairs of its kind
ever held in this part of Minnesota.
Never before has the season for corn
been more favorable for the correct
development and maturing of this
crop. AS consequence there is an
abundance Of corn throughout the
west central part of the state.
This corn show has been planned
in the interests of good seed cam
paign which is being impressed on
all the students. AS the corn which
will be exhibited comes from every
section Of this part of the state very
good comparison may be obtained of
what is being done along the line Of
corn growing.
There is quite a bit of rivalry ex-
listing between the various classes at
school to see which will carry off the
honors. Many of the older boys who
have had much more work along the
line of corn growing than the fresh
men, seem to feel that the advan-
tage is theirs, but from the looks the
exhibits that are here already, one
cannot help feeling that the upper
class men will have quite little COM
petition.
Mr.. Chas. Brown of the University
of Minnesota will be out to Judge the
exhibits. He is well-known through
out the state as an authority on corn,
not only as judge but as an actual
grower of a good strain of corn.
There will be short program dur
ing the regular morning assembly
period, consisting of music by the
school orchestra and an address by
Mr.. Brown. The winners in the con.
test may be announced at this TIM G..
The freshmen class in corn gr ow-
ing who are managing the show are
very desirous that a goodly n nmher

facts and assist in preparing the new
county map for the use Of the
churches. County Supt. Of Schools
Roberts will assist by locating the
schools and Sunday schools and Sc
curing information about the coun-
ty institutions.
The community schedule will out
the county on the basis of the trade
centers, showing population, roads,
social leadership, and community Or
ganizations and activities and form
ing basis for better community
work and cooperation.
The church schedules will out
line the church parish and make in
quiry as to the location, equipment,
finance, membership; religious edu-
cation, church organizations and the
pastors of the churches and for a
basis of plan of religious coopera-
tion looking to some adequate religi-
Gus service for every community in
the county.
A similar survey is being made in
every county in the United States at
this time and it is expected that Stew
ems county will measure up in COM
parison with all others in the state.
She has failed in no other welfare or
reconstruction work and the leaders
are confident she will make good in
this. -;ssSE
ALI the expenses Of the survey are
being met by the movement and the
pastors and leaders Of the county
are volunteering their services as
their contribution5to the cause.
Surveys are now we'll under way
in Pope Swift, Redwood, Big Stone
Wilkin and more than thirty others
of the eighty-six counties Of the
state.
It is expected that the whole study
will be completed before Christmas
and the facts ready for publication
by the first of the new year.

SMALL ATTENDANCE AT
COUNTY CONVENTION
Sunday School Convention at Han
cock Last Sunday Spoiled by
Weather Conditions

The annual Sunday School Con-
vention for Stevens county was held
at Hancock Saturday evening and
Sunday last, but owing to the bad
roads and weather it was impossible
for anyone to attend except people
living right in the village. Several
Morris people were on the program
and all sorts of attempts were made
to get to Hancock, but all had to be
given up. Automobiles we're out Of
the question and not even a hand
car on the railroad could be secured.
A man was found who had a speeder
on the N. P, but he had not author
ity to use it on the Great Northern
tracks, so it was useless.
Rev. Lee Aldrich and Mr.. Rex
Moon were on the program for Sun
day afternoon and the people of Han
cock were disappointed at not being
able to hear them. Mr.. Aldrich was
to have given an address and he and
Mr.. Moon intended to give several
musical numbers. DR.. G. l.. Powell
was the principle speaker for the
morning exercises, and Rev. Symons
of Morris, was to have spoken In the
evening. R. M. Adams was also on
the program for Sunday evening.
On account Of the small represent
alton from the county it was voted TO
let the old officers hold over Tor an
other year. They were as follows:
Rev. F. Stowe of Hancock, president;
L. j. Schlattman of Alberta, vice
president; Miss Eva Blackburn Oh

NEW RULINGS MADE
FOR REINSTATEMENT
More Liberal Conditions for Rein
stating of Lapsed or Cancelled
Insurance

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Form of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for REIN
surance.
The provisions of Treasury Deci-
sion No. At, allowing eighteen
months from the date of discharge
for reinstatement upon payment Of
only two months premiums on the
amount of insurance to be rein
stated, are retained. That decision
is liberated, however, by a new pro-
vision that men out of the servcie are
permitted to, reinstate by merely
paying the two months premiums
without making a statement as to
health at any time within three cal
endar months following the month
of discharge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
a statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge or at the
expiration Of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be required
together with written application
for reinstatement and the tender Of
two months premiums on the amount
of insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has A&psed or
been cancelled. fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who
are therefore barred from reinstate-
ment under the former ruling, spe-
cial blanket ruling is made which
allows all ex-service men to rein
state their insurance before December
81, 1919, provided that each appli-
cant is in as good health as at date
of discharge or at expiration Of the
grace period, whichever is the later
date, and so states in his applica-
tion. Of course it is necessary that
he tender the two months premiums
on the amount of insurance he wishes
to reinstate.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July rs, 1919,
when the decision requiring payment
of only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written application
to the Bureau may have any prem
iums paid in excess of two applied
toward the payment of future prem
iums. For example, if after policy
had lapsed for six months, man
reinstated and paid six months
premiums instead Of two, he may Sc
cure credit for four months prem
iums.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect man until he actual
ly reinstates. II he waits he may be
in as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure reinstate-
, ment.

/. H. WELLS DISPOSES
OF INTEREST In BANK
Well Known Iowa Bankers Purchase
Pioneer Institution.-Cooley
Remains as President

On Tuesday of this week, H. H
Wells retired from the presidency OF
the Stevens County State Bank, hav-
ing sold his interest in the bank to
Alfred o. Clave of Ottesen, Iowa, and
VIM. E. G. Saunders Jr. of Emmets-
burg, Iowa. c. H. March of Litch-
field, vice-president, also disposed of
his interest to the same parties. Mr..
Clave will be the new vice-president
and Mr.. Saunders the new cashier.
W. F. Cooley, Sr., who has been
cashier of the bank for over thirty
years, becomes president, and will
remain as an active officer of the
bank. The directors and employees of
the bank will remain the same as at
present.
The Stevens County Bank is the
pioneer bank of the county and was
founded by H. H. Wells, w. J..
Munro and Chas. Roam in 1882. The
bank has always been regarded as
one Of the strong financial institu-
tions of this part of the state. Mr..
Wells, as president, has been imbued
with a strong sense of trusteeship in
handling the affairs of the bank, and
has made the patrons interests his
own. No bank could enjoy a more
distinctive reputation for soundness
and strength than the Stevens County
Bank has enjoyed under the direction
of Mr.. Wells, ably assisted by Mr..
Cooley as cashier.
It is we'll for the community that
the gentlemen who now assume Mr..
Wells interest in the bank, are men
with considerable banking experience
and are connected with the owners
and officers of some of the strongest
country banks in Iowa. These men
also come from an agricultural state
where the problems connected with
the great question of agricultural
credit has been thoroly worked out.
Mr.. Clave has been for ten years
cashier of the Farmers Savings Bank
of Ottesen, Iowa, while Mr.. Saunders
has been connected with the Com
merical Bank of Emmetsburg, and
the First National Bank of McGregor,
Iowa. Both are young men of ex-
cellent connections who are coming
to Norris to make their homes here
permanently. Mr.. Saunders is mar :
ried and will move his family here as
soon as he can secure a house.
L. J. Clave, president of the Farm
ers State Bank Of Ottesen, and Geo.
E. Saunders, cashier of the CONNER
cial Bank of Emmetsburg we're here
in an advisory capacity the first of the
week while the deal was being made.
On this occasion, the community
will congratulate Mr.. Wells on hav-
ing built the strong institution which
he now turns over to others, will
warmly approve the retention of Mr..
Cooley as an active official and his
elevation to the presidency, and will
cordially welcome Mr.. Clave and Mr.
Saunders among the enterprising and
progressive business men Of the city
of Morris.

cough, and thousands from tuber-
culosis. There is absolutely no ex-
cuse today for a person dying from
typhoid or diphtheria, such has been
the progress in prevention. Lack of
personal contact with an infected
person is the great thing in preven-
tive medicine today. This shows
that public health has become a per-
sonal matter. There is no need of
closing the schools in an epidemic.
The case was cited of typhoid car
rier who was responsible for 412
deaths.
The doctor predicted that in a few
years every school of the size of the
Morris school will have a well-found-
ed health service, and he advised that
the school make application early for
a nurse.

the result Of carelessness and neg

On account of the inclement wealth
