FINE LECTURE COURSE
FOR COMING SEASON
Program Committee Has Selected Six
Unusually Attractive Num-
berS

Those having charge of the lyceum
course for Morris the past season
have decided to again undertake the
work and a week or two ago met
with a representative Of the Univers-
ity Extension Division for the pur-
pose of choosing the talent which
will entertain the people of Morris
and vicinity during the season OF
1919-192O. The committee decided
that past experience has proved that
the people of this vicinity insist on
having the very best available talent
brought here, and with that thought
in mind arranged for the appearance
here of better course for the COM
ing season than any of those pre-
viously given, and the past courses
have been exceptionally fine. The
talent will be furnished by the I'm
iVersity Extension Division from
whom the last lyceum talent was Sc

GLACIER PARK TRAIL
ROUTED THRU MORRIS
Uses Present Trail from the Cities
and Continues Northwest Along
Great Northern.

Sometime ago the Morris CONNER
cial Club had up the matter of get
ting a trail thru Morris from the
cities to Breckenridge and Fargo,
following the old East and West
Highway from here to the cities.
1t appears that the matter has al
ready been taken up elsewhere, and
an organization has been perfected
with Mr.. Tallman of Willmar as
president and Frank Thornton of
Benson as secretary, and under the
name of the "Glacier Park TraiI''
(with the Great Northern goat as a
marker) a trail will be run from the
cities following the Great Northern
thru Morris to Breckenridge and
thence on west.
The trail will be blazed this sum-
mer, and the old trail between here
and the cities remarked.
Glacier Park, northwest Montana,
is the most superb beauty spot in the
United States. The celebrated Alps
of Europe are not to be compared
with it. 1t inc1oses within it's bord-
ers the most picturesque group Of
the snow-topped Rockies. Somewhat
strange to relate, this wild rough
region may be reached by smooth
prairie roads all the way until you
get right onto it, for it rises abruptly
out of the level country and con-
tinues for hundred miles Of the
roughest, widest territory in the
United States. 1t is wonderful
automobile trip, wonderfully inter-
esting and wonderfully easy. Good
automobile roads have been built by
the government all through the Park,
in spite of the mountains.

CURTIS JOHNSON WILL
TALK ON VICTORY LOAN
County Loan Organization to Be En-
tertained at Dinner by Com
mercial Club

F. A. Hancock, chairman of the
Stevens County Victory Loan Organ
ization, has arranged for meeting
of the county organization next
Thursday afternoon, April 3, at 200
o'clock p. m. at the Orpheum. An
address will be made at that time by
Curtis Johnson Of Rush City, one of
the most eloquent and informing
speakers in the whole state, and not
only the Liberty Loan committee
men but also the farmers and resi-
dents of other villages of the county
are especially invited to hear him.
The Liberty Loan organization will
be entertained at dinner by the Nor
ris Commercial Club at the Agricul-
tural School. The dinner will be
served at IL o'clock in the new din

ent character.
The county will issue it's bonds for
$125, 900, and will raise the balance
of the $225,OOO or 100000 by a tax
levy or a bond issue.
If the "Babcock road plan" is
adopted by the people at the next
election, the state will take over
these same so miles of roads and will
also reimburse the county for the
$225,000 which it will have expend-
ed on them, and will thereafter COM
plete and maintain these roads as
hard-surfaced roads without any ex-
pense to the county whatever.
The paved road which will be
built will be of concrete, 18 feet
wide, with shoulder of four feet
on each side. This concrete road
will cost about $4,000 mile, or
$25O,O0O for the ten miles. The
graveled road will cost about $4,000
a mile, or 100000 for the 40 miles.
The work will start this year.
A matter of especial interest to
the city of Morris is that this road
program will take care of the paw
ing of Atlantic avenue for 18 feet
along the center Of the street. The
remainder of the main street should
Of course be paved at the same time,
but the city commission has not yet
had time to go into this matter.

cured.
There will be six numbers given
the coming season at a cost for the
talent alone of $428. Last season
there were but four numbers at a
cost for talent of $275. One of the
feature numbers of the 1918-1919
course has been re-engaged for this
year. The Little Playhouse Co.,
whose presentation of ga Creature
OF the Sea-" was so much enjoyed.
This year the Little Playhouse Co.
with the same cast as last year, will
give Forbes Robertson's celebrated
play, Passing of the Third Floor
Back"
The other numbers will be The
Columbia SeXtette, composed of six
young ladies, in a patriotic program
of American music. Geo. w. Balm, of
Lexington, Kentucky, who will de-
liver one of his famous lectures.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ongawa, two Japanese
entertainers. The Minneapolis Oper-
attic Co. in a musical, and The Fight
ing Americans, four returned SOL
diers who will present the war as
told in song and story.
The dates have not yet been set
but they will be assigned sometime
in August. The price of tickets has
not yet been decided on. If the ar
mory is completed by the time the
course starts so that large number
Of tickets can be disposed of, then
the tickets will be $1.O0 for the sea-
son. If it is necessary to use the
Orpheum, the sale of tickets will be
limited and the price will probably
be $1.25. That would only be 25c
more than last year and the course
will be much better with two more
numbers. Season tickets for lyceum
courses in nearby towns never cost
less than $3.50 and that is generally
for only five numbers. The people
of Morris and vicinity are to be con-
graduated on the lyceum courses
they get.
