TRACTOR SHOW WAS
CENTER OF INTEREST
Large Crowd of Farmers in Attend
ance Tuesday and Wednesday
at Demonstration

The two day tractor demonstration
held at the School of Agriculture on
August 25th and 26th attracted wide
spread attention thruout Stevens
county and many visitors from ad-
joining counties who are interested
in farm tractors. The opening day
was devoted to demonstration plow-
ing and all ten representatives made
very creditable exhibitions of the
possibilities of their various tractors
On Tuesday occurred the Time
Demonstration Contest. Ten differ
ent tractors were entered in this con-
test and at two o'clock began one
of the most successful plowing dem
onstrations ever held in West Cen
tral Minnesota. It was real exhibi-
tion Of what the better makes of farm
tractors can do and the large aud
ience of farmers were unanimous in
the opinion that the tractor is now
one of the most practical machines
upon the farm. It would be difficult
cular tractor made the most credit
able demonstration. All machines
were required to plow an average
depth of seven inches. This require
ment was quite uniformly complied
with. The demonstration gave those
present an opportunity to see the
small caterpillar type of tractor, the
2 plow and plow makes work side
by side and also an opportunity to
compare the kind of work which they
are capable of doing. The demon
stration was under the management
of Professor G. J. Robertson of the
School of Agriculture. All of the
tractor representatives did every
thing in their power to make the
demonstration practical and sue
cessful affair and undoubtedly it was
the best tractor exhibition which has
been made in West Central Mime

PAVING HINDERED BY
UNNECESSARY TRAVEL
Sub Grade Rebuilt Several Times
Seventh Street Kept Open for
CrosS-Town Traffic

Work on Atlantic avenue is pro-
crossing rapidly and the spreading of
cement will start sometime next
week. Those in charge of the work
are doing everything they can to CO.
operate with the property owners
along the street and others who must
use the avenue and are trying not to
tie up the traffic any more than is
necessary. F. E. Brandner, state
highway inspector says, however,
that the citizens of Morris are not
cooperating as much as they should
and they feel that there is lot of
unnecessary travel on Atlantic
avenue Several times the road bed
has been made ready for the cement
and is then spoiled by the constant
traffic. This all hinders the progress
of the work and makes it necessary
to rebuild the sub-grade. People are
asked not to use this avenue unless
it is absolutely necessary. The alleys
are in good condition and can take
care of the traffic. When crossing
from the east to the west end of
town 7th street should be used. This
crossing will be kept open at all
times and will be bridged as soon as
the cement is poured.

CONVENTION NEXT WEEK
OF AMERICAN LEGION
Hundreds Of World War Veterans ia
Gather at st. Paul Next
Tuesday

The stage is set for a thousand
young veterans of the world war to
write another chapter in Minnesota
history at the first annual conven-
tion of the American Legion which
convenes in st. Paul September End
Delegates from 1875 posts in every
section of the state will meet in the
st. Paul auditorium to form the first
permanent state organization of the
legion here.
Two delegates and two alternates
for every hundred members of the
legion will compose the convention
On this basis advance returns indi-
cate that more than 1000 official
representatives will take part in the
convention.
Hundreds of additional veterans of
the war will attend the historic
charter gathering as visitors. Many
of these are coming from communi-
ties where posts have not been estab-
lished up to this time.
The double attraction of fair week
and the first state convention is
proving strong drawing card. The
fair management has arranged to en-
tertain the visiting delegates and take
official recognition of the legion in
the veterans day celebration on
Thursday
The convention opens at 9:45 a.
M, on September End. Governor
Burnquist and Mayor L. G. Hodgson
of st. Paul will welcome the former
fighters to the capitol city during the
first hours of the convention. Fol
lowing the organization and trans
action of business during the morn
ing and afternoon sessions, one of the
leading attractions of the convention
is on the bill for Tuesday evening
when Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., vet
eran of the 28th Infantry, First Divi-
sion, will address the Minnesota
gathering.
St. Paul's citizens committee is
planning an attractive entertainment
program for the delegates outside OF
convention hours. At noon, lun-
! cheons will be served in the audit
orium itself on the mammoth stage
War Camp community girls will wait
on the delegates. A theatre party
for which the entire parquet of the
Orpheum theatre has been engaged is
planned for one evening.
All the st. Paul clubs have ex
tended their privileges to the dele,

nesota Club, the Elks, the Knights o.

The different tractors vary as to
price. They burn different fuels,
and have different plowing speed and
pull different number of plows
There was an unavoidable variation
in the plot which each plowed at the
demonstration (these plots having
been selected by LOTT and some of
the plots had down grain. Differ
ent tractors used different plows and
some had plow trouble. No decision
was made between the various tract
ors, the spectators being free to form
their own judgment about the per-
formance of each tractor under the
circumstances. The amount of land
which each tractor plowed was, how
ever, carefully measured, and the fol-
lowing table gives the amount plowed
and the time consumed:

FIFTY-THREE BABIES
EXAMINED AT CLINIC
DR.. Edward Anderson, Who Was in
Charge, Says Another Clinic Will
Be Held Later

The first of a series of Baby Clinics
was held last Friday at the Morris
High School under the direction of
DR.. Edward Anderson of Minneapolis.
Another clinic will be held within a
few months if the demand from the
country is strong enough according
to DR.. Anderson who represented the
Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton and the Northwestern Pediatric
Society. Fifty-three babies were ex-
amined last Friday, the children
ranging in age from six months to
six years. Most of the babies attend
ing the clinic we're from Morris. The
fact that people in the country are
busy with harvesting accounts for
the small number of children brought
in from outside.
Stevens county has a good class of
babies in the opinion of the doctor in
charge He gave each child very
thorough examination and gave
directions on feeding and care to the
mothers. He was assisted by Miss
Bessie Kenney, a nurse of Wheaton
Mimi, who was also sent here by the
Health Association. Cheerful babies
cross babies, thin babies, plump ba-
bies, they came in continuous
,, stream from $3.50 in the morning un-
til 500 at night. The women OF
Morris who assisted were kept very
busy waiting on the small visitors.

school class at the Methodist parson-
age. The house was prettily decor
ated with blue and gold, the class
colors, and the gifts were brought in
on a wagon which was also trimmed
in the colors of Miss Wilson's class.
Refreshments of ice cream and cake
were served. The marriage of Miss
Wilson and George Brooks will be
solemnized tonight at the home of
the bride.

Suppestion to Haulers

Since the main street in Morris has
been torn up with the paving job
we have noticed that heavy loads of
grain have difficulty getting to the
various elevators. However, there is
usually some good route open, but
this route changes from day to day
and even from hour to hour. Haul
Grs are advised to find out just what
routes are open before getting their
heavy loads onto the torn-up street.

NE|GHB0RS PAPER

A nan who was too stingy to sub
scribe for his home paper sent his lit
tie boy to borrow the copy taken by
a neighbor. In his haste the boy ran
over a 81 stand of bees ard in ten
minutes looked like a warty summer
squash. His father ran to his assis-
lance, and failing to notice the barb
wire fence, ran into that, cutting a
hole in his anatomy and running a So
pair of trousers. The old COW took ad-
vantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corn field and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing a
racket, the wife ran out, upset a four
gallon churn full of cream into a bas-
ket of little chickens, dorwning the
entire hatch. In her haste she
dropped a $35 sent of false teeth. The
baby, having been left alone, crawled
through the milk into the parlor,
running a brand new $25 carpet. Dur
ing the excitement the oldest daugh-
ter ran away with the hired nan, the
dog broke up eleven setting hens and
the calves got out and chewed the
tails of four fine shirts on the clothes

MACHINES ALLOWED

In a decision handed down by the
supreme court Monday in habeas
corpus proceedings brought by Louis
Tierotte it is held that the operation
of a slot machine that pay in mer-
chandise is not a violation of the 1915
statute relating to slot machines and
lotteries, according to the Carson
City News.
Tierotte. who had the card ma
chine in his place of business in Reno
was arrested and fined. Habeas
corpus proceedings were brought and
the case fought for decision by the

stated. The effect of the decision
is not such as to permit the opera
ton of machines that pay checks or
Fbingles. but applies only to those
that pay in cigars and other mer-
chandise.
