MORRIS BOY BACK
FROM SEVEN SEAS
Was on the Arizona Mine Sweeping
in the Mediterranean-Saw
Constantinople

Arthur Anderson returned to his
home in Norris this week after eigh-
teen months spent on the sea with
the navy. The first few months he
was attached to the Rhode Island
which patrolled the eastern coast of
the United States, but was soon
transferred to the Arizona which set
sail for foreign waters.
The Arizona was sent to the Mediter-
ranean to sweep the mines from the
sea and docked at Constantinople
long enough for the men to see the
narrow streets filled with camels,
mules, yelled women and men wear
ing the Turkish fez. The houses
were fiat rooted and seemed mere
novels beside the magnificent mosques
beautifully colored rising from all
parts of the cities. They were second
only to the Sultan's palace in magni-
ficence. Later the superdreadnought
was sent to Smyrna to represent the
United States and weighed close to
shore. The men could watch from
the deck land fight in progress be-
tween Greek and Turkish troops,
ready at any minute to go on shore
if the Greeks got the worst of the
engagement. The Turks were driven
to the hills, however, and they were
saved the trouble of landing. Only
small company of marines went
ashore. Anderson next set sail for
Trinidad where he was much i'm
pressed by women carrying heavy

STEVENS COUNTY CLUB GIRLS
WIN FIRST STATE FAIR HONORS
Team is First Canning and in Demonstration Boy Bread
Makers Get Fifth Place Among Bread Baking Teams-Han-
Girl First

The boys and girls teams from
Stevens county covered themselves
and their county with glory last week
when they carried off prizes in the
state championship in canning, bread
making and pig raising at the Min
nesota State Fair. Veneta Moorhead,
Thelma Fougeron and Lenora Eystad
all of Alberta, composing the Stevens
county canning team won highest
honors in the state contest. They
also entered into competition with
the champion breadmaking team
from Redwood county and the poul-
try raising team from Carlton coun-
ty and proved themselves the best
demonstration team in the bargain.
This means that they will have
chance to bring home more glory to
Stevens county in the interstate con-
test which will take place at Sioux
City September 1918. There they
will compete with the champion
teams from twelve northern states.
If they win in this contest they will
receive a free trip to Washington
and eastern cities. They won in a
contest with 81 demonstration teams
at the state fair.
Ruel Ridgway, Ralph Conroy and
Raymond Peterson, the Chokio boy
breadmakers stood fifth in the bread
making contest, standing up we'll
with the teams composed of mem
bers of the opposite sex from other
counties. Redwood's county team
was awarded first place with Blue
Earth county second, Polk county
third and Hennepin county fourth.
Miss Lenora Stebbins of Hancock,
won first honors in the state in Glass
A bread baking contest.
Lady Top Notcher' owned by
Henry Busch of Alberta is the pig
who won second sweepstake honors
for herself and her master, proving
her superiority over more than fifty
other pigs who we're residents of
other counties. She was slightly sur
passed only by Model Gift owned by
Haysen Buffer of Garden City
Henry Cusch and his pig Lady Ter
Notcher will get free trip to the
International Stock Exposition at
Chicago in November as we'll as the
state fair prize of SIS. Lady Top
Notcher also won the first prize of
SIS in Duroc-Jersey.
The teams had their expenses paid
to the state fair by the county fair
board. The demonstrations were
given under the direction of the
agricultural division of the Univers-
ity of Minnesota. Stevens county
has good reason to be very proud
of the provess of her boys and girls.
She will watch with great deal of
interest the work of the Alberta
canning team at the Interstate fair
at Sioux City.
Alice Marquedt of Barry, one of
the many girls in the pig contest, Big
Stone county, won fifth place in the
sweepstakes class and first place in
the Poland China class.
