Pageant Was Big Success

One Of the finest things seen in
Morris for long time was the Page
ant Of Liberty given by more than
500 school children on the lawn of
the LongfelIow school last Friday
evening. This was something entire
Iy new for this city and many peo-
pie did not even know what to ex-
pect when they went and we're very
agreeably surprised as the different
scenes were given. Miss Helen Wood
man and the other teachers who as
sisted her are entitled to much
credit for the success of the under
taking The fact that the pageant
was given outside with the trees and
foliage as a background made it even
more enjoyable and beautiful. Every
scene is worthy of special mention,
but the ones which made the biggest
hit were the folk dances by the little
tots, the winding Of the May Pole,
the dance of the young ladies of the
high school, the American flag made
up of over hundred children dressed
in the proper colOrs to form the stars
and stripes, and the appearance of
the flags of the allies. Music for the
occasion was furnished by Mrs.
Betters on the piano and Mr.. Ander-
son on the violin.

SALE SHOWS STRONG
DEMAND FOR HOLSTEINS
Eighty Head Sell for Average Of
$4,000 Bull Brought
$65,OOO

At the sale of Holstein cattle held
at MOrehead June 18th Holsteins
reached their highest mark thus far
in the history of the breed in Min
nesota both in prices paid, and in the
quality of the cattle offered for sale.
Never before was such high class
offering of cattle presented for public
sale and never before did breeders
show more appreciation for good cat
tie from long lines of high producing
ancestry than they did last Thurs
day, by their generous bidding.
The cattle were offered for sale by
the Minnesota Holstein Breeders AS
breeders offered the very best cattle
that they had at this sale which
meant some of the best cattle of the
breed and Minnesota stands right at
the top in the breeding of HOlstein
cattle. Prices paid would seem al
most unbelievable to Stevens county
farmers and yet to the men who
wanted the cattle and who appreci-
ated what the breeding behind these
cattle means, the price they had to
pay seemed Of little Importance. The
eighty head sold for an average of
something over S28OO.OO head. The
highest price paid for a single in
dividual was $65,OO0.O0 which was
paid for a son Of the great bull which
made Schroeder's herd famous
Pietetje Ormsby Mercedes" He was
bought by Pabst of Milwaukee in
partnership with the Schroeder
farm.
''The sale was a very good exam
pie of what a little initiative and
farsightedness will do and the farm
ers of Stevens county may we'll pat
tern it," says Prof. P. S. Jordan, of
the Farm School, "as the men who
consigned the cattle to the sale were
only good representative farmers Of
Minnesota, most of whom started in
small way and built up the herds
from that but who never lost sight
of the fact that breeding tells and
that one can get no where. in the
improvement of live stock without
| the use of good sires." ~.a sM

KING OF BRITAIN
HONORS CAPT. HALGREN
Decorated With British Order of st.
John of Jerusalem While in
England

The following from the Recall,
published at Fort Sheridan, under
date of June IA, will be of interest
to the many friends of Capt. Halgren
in this locality. Capt. Halgren is a
sOn-in-law of Mr. and Mrs, o. c..
Hanson:
"A bit of black ribbon adOrns the
coat of Capt John A. Halgren of the
OrthOpedic service.
It is mourning, but not for the loss
of relative. It is mourning for the
loss of the Holy City of ChristendOm
centuries ago, and is worn by all
knights Of the Order of st. John of
Jerusalem, of which Captain Halgren
was made a Tnember by King George
of England in appreciation of his dis
tinguished services to the allied en-
piTe during the war.
captain Halgren's services were
loaned to the British Army by the
Americans soon after his entrance in
to the service in September, 1917,
and he was given charge of st. Johns
- hospital, Birmingham, an institution
devoted to peripheral nerve injuries.
In June, 1918, the influenza epidemic
became severe in the English city,
but although thousands Of the civil
ian population died, Captain Hal
gren managed to save his hospital Of
two hundred and ten patients from
the scourge. Although stricken him
self, he did not ask to be relieved
from duty, and also during that
time, acted as consulting surgeon for
three other hospitals.
For this service and his work in
nerve surgery, he was recommended
for the Order of ST. John, founded in
1O46, A. D., by the Crusaders, and
one of the most coveted decorations
bestowed by Great Britain. During
the MEDIEVAL period, the order held
Malta, and was responsible for the
welfare of the pilgrims to Jerusalem.
When the Turks captured the Holy
City, the red ribbon was changed to
black, the black ribbon which Cap
tain Halgren now wears.
THE picturesque ceremony of be-
stoWal took place January IT, 1919,
in the chapel of the order, the CEN
turies-Old church of St. John Kerken-
wall, London. But few of the order,
which has only four hundred and
fifty members, were present, owing to
the wartime necessities which kept

NEIGHBORING TOWNS
HOLD CELEBRATIONS
Chokio, Donnelly, Hancock and Al
berta Have Successful Commun-
ity Events
(By G. W. Nash. }

The community picnics held at
Hancock, Donnelly and Chokio were
big success and there is no doubt
these gatherings will be made an
nua1 events. The average attend
ance was about 500. A. J. Mcclure
head of Dairy Extension Depart
ment, University Farm, was present
and gave fine talks on the value of
cooperation chiefly along the line Of
creameries as these communities are
especially interested in this subject.
Supt. P. e. Miller of Morris, gave
interesting and instructive talks at
Donnelly and ChOkio.
Band music, good live base ball
games and contests of various kinds
gave some form of entertainment for
every one.
The business men of Hancock with
the assistance of the domestic science
class served free lunch of coffee
and sandwiches. A ball game be-
tween Hancock and Starbuck was
scheduled but because of the bad
roads, Starbuck could not get there,
so the high school team played the
town team. At Donnelly there was
a game of base ball in the forenoon
between the Wild Cats and Donnelly
team. In the afternoon a Boys and
Girls Club pageant and a program of
speeches and music under the big tent
put up for this occasion. Before the
speeches a mixed octette gave several
selections and Mr.. c. Violin of Glen
wood entertained the audience in his
usual happy style.
ChOkiO put on the club pageant in
the forenoon and gave over the after
noon to the speeches and base ball
game. A team from Clinton played a
mixed team from Ortonville and
Graceville and played a good snappy
game. Dancing provided the eve
ming entertainment.
There is no question but that every
one went back to their work with a
better feeling of good fellowship af-
ter these gatherings.
Alberta held their community

grove. Judge Wilson of Saltwater,
was the speaker of the day, and a
fine time is reported

CIVIC LEAGUE WILL
HELP FIGHT DANDELION
Special Meeting Called for Next
Tuesday to Discuss DandeGon
determination

The fact that most Of the lawns
of Norris are yellow rather than
green, has made many of the mem
bers of the Civic League blue, and
the ladies are determined that this
pest shall be eXterminated if posi-
BILE by next summer. DandeliOnS
have been on the increase during the
past few years and are now becom-
ing one Of the ObnixOus weeds and
must be done away with if possible.
There is hardly a lawn in Morris
any more that does not have it's
share of dandelions.
Miss Nellie Moran, secretary Of
the Civic League, has called meet
ing for Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock, June "a, to be held at the
Commercial Club rooms. All mem
bers, and any others who wish to
Join, are requested to be present.
The dandelion question will be taken
up at this meeting and move start
ed to beautify the lawns of Morris.
It is not an easy matter to get rid
of dandelions after they get a good
start and it takes two or three years
to entirely kill the plants. For that
reason the matter will be taken up
at once with the idea of getting the
people interested by next spring.
Lawns can not be cleared of
dandelions unless every person in
the city is determined to do their
part The seeds will blow about
from one lawn to another and for
that reason the entire city must be
cleared of the dandelions if there is
to be any permanent results.
There are numerous ways given for
killing dandelions. One is to keep
the plants from going to seed for
three years and the roots will then
die out Another way is to spray the
lawn during the summer with sui
phate of iron. Other people say to
cut the plants off just below the sur
face of the gOrund with a knife,
while others suggest that gasoline or
kerosene be applied to the crown of
each individual plant. One perman-
ent relief from dandeliOns and all
other weeds is to get thick vigUr-
Gus growth of grass by using plenty
of fertilizer and grass seed.

FARM WOMEN ATTEND
SCHOOL THIS WEEK
Over Fifty Enroll Opening Day at
West Central School of
Agriculture --

Fifty-twO women were on hand
Tuesday, the opening day of the
Farm Women's Short Course at the
West Central School of Agriculture.
1t is expected that the total attend
ance for the week will run up to 100.
Farm women from practically all
counties of West Central Minnesota
are in attendance. The women are
enjoying all of the thrills Of real
vacation. There is much play and
less work. A social hour during the
afternoon, entertainments, and
movies in the evenings, make up no
small part of the program. Miss
Mary L. Bull, Miss H. J. Fisher and
Miss J. L. Shepherd from the Exten-
sion Division of the University are
assisting the faculty of the School of
Agriculture during the Short Course
The work during the week has in
cluded all phases of household man
agement and those problems which
farm women are more especially in
terested in. On Thursday, Superinten-
dent A. D. Wilson, Director of the
Extension Division gave splendid
| lecture to women attending the Short
| Course emphasizing the Importance
of the farm home in the development
of successful agriculture in Mime
sofa. Miss Shepherds subjects dealt
with the question of modern con-
yentences in the farm home. Many
progressive country homes are now
making their homes completely mod
ern with water systems and electric
lights. Home nursing, care of the
/ sick, dressmaking at home, ETC., were
subjects considered during the lee
ture and demonstration periods. The
inspiring talks, readings. and recita-
tions by Miss Frances P. Lapham,
who is herself successful farmer
living in southern Minnesota, added
much to the pleasure of the week.
The women in attendance are en-
thusiastic about the Short Course.
! To spend week at the school during
/ the most delightful season of the
year is in itself an inspiration, and
the opportunity for complete rest,
recreation and the association of con-
genial friends and acquaintance has
made this week a most pleasant and
| happy one for all who have attend

Superintendent P. E. Miller in ad-
dressing the Short Course Women on
Thursday afternoon made the state
ment that this course is one of the
most valuable and worth while ses-
sions of the many courses offered
during the year. Miss Irma Hathorn
principal of Girls Work at the School
of Agriculture, is in charge of the
Short Course, and it's increasing at
tendance and popularity each year is
largely due to her efforts and the

lion and unicorn of England's royal
arms, on the captains breast. He

several organizations left various
Sums of money to be used for pictures
for the dormitories. These sums
were put together into one amount
and seven large pictures we're pur-
chased. Most of the pictures are of
a size and style suitable for the DORM
itory parlors and will be hung in
these rooms as soon as they are re-
ceived. Rosa Bonheur's "Horse
Fair" is one that will be placed in
the Boys DormitOry, while the money
donated by the Young Women's
Christian Association was used for a
large panel of Hope" and will be
hung in the front hall tof the Girls
Dormitory. Other pictures are the
Forum" and the coliseum" of
Rome, the Harvest Moon" and an
exterior and interior view in color
of Rheims Cathedral. This cathe-
dray dating from the 18th century
was one of the most beautiful cathe-
drals of Europe. A rose window set
above the main entrance was one of
the finest specimens of stained glass
known. In April, 1917, the Germans
bombed this cathedral and left a
ruin that can never be restored.

will all be in place, and every one
will have a chance to. enjoy these
additions to the dormitories.
