proposal every year at the sittings of
the league of nations council
The organization is now at work
upon drafts of proposals which will be
submitted to the first sitting of the
council at Washington An effort is
being made to secure support for the
next attempt from both the Chinese

of propaganda in those countries.

THE ROSARY" FINE HURT IN RUNAWAY
HOME TALENT PLAY GIVEN BY
K..c LODGE WITNESSED BY
PACKED HOUSES. n

A packed house on both Tuesday and
Wednesday, evenings witnessed the
play s'The Rosary, put on by home
talent here for the benefit of the
knights of Columbus council. The
play was rehearsed and staged under
the direction of Mr., Joseph Golden.
The title of the play would seem to
Indicate that it was rather dry trea-
tlse on religion but this was not so.
Mirth provoking situations were abund-
ant from start to finish, although, of
course, there were scenes that were
touching and a great lesson to be
learned from the production.
The cast, althoug composed of home
talent except for the part of the priest,
Fir. Kelly, played by Mr.. Golden, was
not bit amateurish, each playing his
or her part in good style. Joseph
Moeglein did well in very difficult
part, that Of Bruce Milton. Constantine
Droskowski took the part of the villain,
Mr.. Wright. Dominic Merchlewicz, as
Charles Harrow, in love with Kathleen
|O'Connor, displayed the various moods
Of his character very we'll. Asa Curtis,
as Lee Martin, butler in the Milton
household, had the audience constantly
roaring with his humor and he played
this part to perfection. Margaret Mil
ler as Kathleen O'Connor, Verna Miller
as Lesura Watkins, maid in the Milton
household who was never known to
crack a smile even in the most funny
situations, and Appolonia Ruff as Alice
Marsh, sister of Vera Wilton and
around whom the plot Of the play cen
tered, all handled their parts splendid
ly. Miss Esther Trettel as Vera Mil
ton, wife Of Bruce Milton, had the lead
ing feminine role, and the selection of
her for this part proved no mistake.
Mr.. Golden, who took the leading
part, that Of FIR. Kelly, Irishman, was
excellent and his part was more than
half of the play. Few actors seen in
these parts could equal him in this role.
The play will be put on at Buckman
Saturday evening and at Pierz Sunday
evening.

ABLE AFFAIR.

Hundreds Of people attended the an.

park yesterday afternoon and evening
and the affair was, from early indica-
tions, a big success.
The fun began at noon, long pro-
gram of sports being pulled off for both
young and old. The country store was
a popular feature. A big handout was
given at suppertime, consisting Of
beans, sandwiches, coffee, etc. In the
evening in addition stunts similar to
those pulled off in the afternoon were
the awarding of the Ford car and dane
ing on large pavilion. The awarding
Of the car took place after going to
press so the name Of the party who re-
ceived the car could not be given in
this issue.
The weather was ideal for the picnic
and it was success from start to fin
ish. A neat sum was realized for the
home building fund.

Erection OF a permanent marker at

Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike, the first army
afficer sent to Upper Mississippi, will
probably take place in the near future:
Mrs. Harlan P. Roberts, chairman of
the D. A. r. committee on the preserva-
tion of historic spots, and Mrs. James L.

accompanied by their husbands, were
in Little Falls Wednesday and yester-

1862 The present marker will prob
ably be moved out to the road nearby,
where it can be seen by passing tour
lists, or another marker will be placed
near the road and the one now marking
the exact spot left where it is.
AS the history of Morrison and Todd
counties chronicle it, Lieut.. Pike was
sent up here by the government in 1905
and he built stockade on the summit
of a rise on the bank of the Mississippi
below Pike Rapids, which were named
after him. After building this stockade
he passed a month in hunting and ex-
ploring in this vicinity. It was this
same man who later was made famous
by his explorations in the Rocky noun
tain country, where celebrated noun
tain peak was named for him-Pike' IS

October % is the anniversary Of the
establishment Of this fort and it is pro-
posed to have big gathering at the
spot, or at close to that day as prac-

JOE WEZNoRSKI AT HOSPITAL
WITH CRUSHED FOOT AS RE-
suit OF ACCIDENT.

Joe Weznorski of Swan River met
with an accident in runaway yester-
day morning, while at work, which may
result in the loss of his left foot.
While Weznorski was driving the
team from work on the farm they be-
came frightened in some manner and
ran away. The young man probably y
got caught between the team and the
wagon in some manner and his left foot
was badly crushed. The bones in the
foot were broken, the heel was prac-
tically torn off, the cords were torn and
large cut was inflicted. The wounds
were filed with dirt.
The young man was removed to ST..
Gabriel 8 hospital in this city after the
injuries had been: temporarily cared for.
The attending physician hopes that the
young mans foot can be saved but he
states that it will be ten days or more
before it will be known.
Weznorski recently returned home
from military service overseas.

HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED?

Governor J. A. A.. Burnquist, in a.
communication to R. B. Millard Of this
city in which he asks him to be chair
man of the campaign to raise fund
for the relief of the tornado sufferers
at Fergus Falls, states that the quota of
Morrison county has been fixed by the
state committee on relief at 81, 800. The
governor asks that steps be taken to
raise the quota at the earliest possible
moment.
Some time ago, however, committee
was appointed by Mayor Bergheim of
this city to raise funds in Morrison
county and this. committee has placed
subscription lists in all the banks in
the county, where the people can make
contributions. The amount which this
committee decided to try for was the
same amount as the quota fixed by the
state committee, $4,000. So far the
amount raised is very small and the
committee hopes that the people Of this
county will respond to this urgent call
from Fergus Falls for financial assis-
tance.
