teresting for the pupils by the pres
ence> of outside people on the pro-

will be one of the things which will
be enjoyed. Next week Wednesday
Mrs. G. B. Sylvander will sing for
the students. On other days of the
week the teachers and pupils will
have charge of the program, when
they can introduce anything which
will be for the good of the school.

20. Mrs. F. A. Gould was assisting
hostess.
Owing to sickness, both the presi-
dent Mrs. A. A. Stone and vice presi-

BACK TO OLD TIME
AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Second Year of Daylight Saving Law
is the Last One.-Law
Repealed

Tomorrow evening, Oct. 25, when
you retire for the night just turn
the hands of Big Ben back one hour
and forget about the incident. Next
morning when you wake you'll be
surprised to see how light it is at
Z o'clock.
The law passed during 1917 for the
purpose of daylight saving" was re-
pealed this year, the act providing
for the repeal being passed over the
presidents veto. Different commun-
tiles which feel that they have pro-
flied by the new law will set their
clocks ahead one hour in the spring
as they have done for the past two
years. Several cities have for a num-
Der of years practiced the daylight
saving plan. It is said to be of great
benefit in factory towns especially.
In the Morris community it makes
little difference to most townspeople,
but farmers object on account of diff
cuIties encountered with help and the
condition Of the grain in the early
morning and because Of having to be
in the field during the hottest part
of hot day, to 2, which is II to
1 in the old time.

Tribune Will Supply Numbers

Several of the Stevens county SOL
diers have found that they have for
gotten their serial and order num-
bers in the draft, and this informa-
tion is needed in filling out the ap-
plication for the soldier bonus.
The Tribune can supply any Stew
ems county soldier with his serial
number in the draft, and hopes to OBJ
tain a copy of the table which will
give the order number also. AS it
takes considerable time to look up
these numbers, it would be much
better if soldiers will call in person
at The Tribune Office. If inconven-
lent to call in person, please men
tion the date of induction into ser
vice.

DR.. Reynolds Here Saturday

DR.. Reynolds of the Department of
Veterinary Science of the University
and a specialist in tuberculosis, in
spected the herd for this disease at
University Farm last Saturday. No
reactions to the test were found and
inasmuch as this is the fourth test
with no reactions, the herd at the
West Central School of Agriculture
has now been placed on the State
Accredited List.
In the afternoon DR.. Reynolds
spoke to the Freshman class on State
Control of Infectious Diseases among
Live Stock He told of the organiza-
ton of the State Sanitary Board and
what it is doing for the farmer. He
also mentioned methods of reim-
bursement for live stock slaughtered
for public benefit in cases of such
diseases as CHAMBERS, foot and mouth
disease, tuberculosis, hog cholera,
etc.

NEED OF HOUSES FOR
RENT FELT In MORRIS
Matters of Importance to City Dis
cussed at Commercial Club
Meeting

That Morris is losing good citizens
on account of the lack of houses for
rent, was pointed out at a CONNER
cial Club meeting held Friday eve
ming of last week. More houses is
one Of the important needs of Nor
ris for it's growth and development.
People are here every day looking for
suitable homes that they fail to find.
This condition is a decided loss to
the city, as most of these people
would become permanent residents
and are in the main good people who
are moving from other localities and
are seeking a suitable home to settle
down in.
The matter of organizing build
ing association was talked over and
steps may be taken later along this
line. P. L. Spooner called atten-
ton to the fact that practically all
rental property in the city had been
bought and houses to rent should be
erected at once. Many people with
small means would be glad of the
chance to purchase a residence on
the instaIIment plan if given the Op-
portunity, while others have posi-
tions that do not warrant them in
buying a house, but they must have
some place in which to live.
Another matter of Importance to
the city was in regard to Federal
building. Many cities in this state
not as large as Morris already have
a building of this kind and there is
no reason why Norris should not be
the next. It is matter that needs
considerable pushing, but may de-
velope in the near future.
The members of the club also
pledged themselves, at this meeting,
to support company "K' in any way
possible and do all in the clubs power
to promote the welfare of the COM
pany. Company "K" means a, great
deal to the city and county and a
recruiting campaign for more mem
bers is to be started at once. Re-
turned service men are especially in
vited to join the company and al
ready about thirty have signified
their desire to become members. The
club took up the matter Of some sort
of an entertainment or banquet for
the members of this company, but
this was tabled for the time being
and will be brought up at the next
meeting. One thing is evident and
that is that company "K" is going to
be the one principal organization in
Morris in the future and many Of
the social activities as we'll as the
upbuilding of the community will
center around this organization. The
armory is now an assured fact and
when this is erected sports Of all
kinds will be staged for the enter
tainment of the company.

pressed the opinion that he was alb
solutely fair to all concerned.

Mr.. Adams, E. w. Nobbs and Supt.
Utne of the high school. Supt.
Miller responded on behalf of the
West Central School and thanked the
members of the church for the re-
ception, stating that it was the first
time in the history of the institu-
tion that he knew of where any or
ganization of the city of Morris had
given them reception of any sort.

by an orchestra composed of A.
Watzke on the violin; e. W. Nobbs,
cornet; Sheriff Zahl, base viola; and
Mrs. E. W. Nobbs, piano. Mrs. Hope

Paving Going Slow

Paving of Atlantic avenue has
gone rather slow this week due to
the fact that material could not be
obtained. Last evening the machine
finished one side of the street and
commenced its trip back on the other
side. This means that this avenue
is entirely finished with the excep-
tion of this one side, 'and this
should be completed in a few days
if material arrives. Many people
from outside towns make visits. to
Morris to inspect the paving and get
ideas on the work. Last week a
delegation came from Ortonville and
representatives were here from Her
man also. ..a.

WATCH SAVES LIFE
OF G. N. CONDUCTOR
Bad Fire at Dassel, Minn.-Boy
Loses Arm in Hunting
Accident

A gold watch saved Conductor
William Rice of Willmar from in
slant death last week when a bullet
from a % caliber rifle struck the
watch, which Mr.. Rice was carrying
In pocket just over his heart. The
shooting occurred at Litchfield, while
west bound freight train was pull
ing out of the city. Two boys, IA
and Is years of age, were near the
creek west of the city and had in
their possession a 22 rifle loaded with
long cartridges. 1t occurred to them
that the passing train would make a
good target, so they opened fire.
Three shots were fired at the caboose,
one of which passed thru a window
striking Mr.. Rice just above the
heart. The watch was badly smashed
but the force of the bullet was spent,
the bullet being found in the pocket.

The village of Dassel suffered
very disastrous fire last week when
five places of business were practical
ly wiped out by the flames Starting
in the basement of the Hurphy brick
building, it soon licked up every
thing that would burn in that struc-
ture and then consumed three frame
buildings adjoining.
Flames we're discovered in the
basement of the brick building at
three a. m. The water supply for
the purpose Of fire fighting was very
scanty due to the fact that the old
water tank was being replaced with
new one. Arrangements had been
made whereby direct pressure could
be applied to the mainis by means of
an electric motor, but the wires con-
veying the current to the motor
passed the burning building, and the
current was cut off.
Calls were sent to Litchfield and
Hutchinson for aid, and fire fighters
from both places responded. Had
the night not been still, with prac-
tically no wind at all, the entire will
age would have undoubtedly been
wiped out. The post office was
burned out, as were a shoe store, pro-
duce house and restaurant.

Orlando Paschke, 16 years old, re-
siding with his paIents nine miles
north of Sauk Centre came near sa-
crificing his life while out hunting
with a companion in a boat Sunday
of last week.
AS near as the facts can be ascer-
tanned a flock of ducks flew over the
boys heads. Orlando reached for his
gun while looking at the ducks go
ing over. The muzzle must have
faced him, because the gun was dis
charged striking him in the left arm
between the shoulder and elbow.
The charge passed clear through the
arm, badly shattering the bone.
Following the accident the injured
lad made his way to a farm house
about one-half mile distant from the
slough where he was hunting. He
was hustled into a car and brought
to Sauk Centre. He had lost so
much blood that the doctors were
fearful that he would pass away be-
fore the operation could be completed
and flow of blood stopped. The arm
was amputated about two inches be-
low the shoulder.
The injured man is now resting
easy and the doctors look for his COM
plete recovery.

Have you heard of the bank fail
ure at Salina? Awful sad-the bank
guarantee fund has been depleted
quarter Of a million dollars to re-
imburse the depositors. And now
come the stockholders who protest
against paying up under the double
liability clause. They assert that
the bank department of Kansas has
known this bank was in a sinking
condition, entirely unseaworthy, for
months, and did nothing to prevent
this disaster, thereby assuming a re-
sponsiblity that releases them from
their obligation as stockholders. The
old pop" law guaranteeing deposits
protects the innocent bystander who
has put his money in the bank. But
what the people really want to know
is why the Republican administration
can't quit playing politics long
enough to look after the affairs of
Kansas.-Kinsley Graphic.

reporting when the gypsies went

President Wilson has made an I'M
usual request of those who are ar

ranging his tour speaking for the
League of Nations. 1t is that his aud

His logic used in defining principle
has never failed in winning his point.
