Brother Farmer:
Are you a member of the Stevens
County Farm Bureau Association?
If not, why not?
1t is your counselor, your helper,
your servant. It has been instru-
mental during its short term of ex-
istence in developing the community
welfare to a wonderful extent, by
promoting cooperation in establishing
creameries, stock-shipping associa-
tions, farmers and community clubs
and boys and gilrs' industrial clubs
too numerous to mention. In this line
the county agents f1ivver may be
seen at all times in all parts Of the
country as a medium of encourage
ment, advice and intercommunica-
ton.
The Farm Bureau has very success
fully promoted the raising of better
stock in the county. Three breeders
associations have been organized: the
Angus, Holstein and Shorthorn; also
county poultry association. Silos
are being erected all over the county
and a general emulation for better
stock, better methods of feeding and
hence, more profitable results has
been created
The Farm Bureau has supplied you
with the best obtainable seeds in
times of scarcity and helped you to
a market for same in times of plenty.
It has acted as your employment
agency in times of need.
In serious stock epidemics, such
as hog cholera, it has given you fair
warning, good advice and prevented
the spread Of the disease.
1t has been your detective agency
in identifying and combating new
noxious weeds.
1t has demonstrated to you by word
and deed the value of formaldehyde
treatment as smut preventative,
the result of which was decrease
of from 10 per cent last year to 2-3
Of 1 per cent this year.
The Farm Bureau, during the per-
iod of 10 months past, had 730 Office
calls, 240 phone calls, made 9O6 farm

TABERNACLE CAMPAIGN
OPENS NEXT SUNDAY
Evangelist Aldrich and Party Ar
rived This Week to Complete
Arrangements
By Rev. G.. L. Powell.

The tabernacle on the corner of
7th street and Atlantic Avenue is
about completed and ready for ac-
tion. 1t will be very comfortable
and no matter how severe the wealth
er the tab will be warm. 1t will
be heated by six ''salamander furn-
aces" placed at proper distances on
either side of the spacious auditor
ium. No one need stay away from
the services for fear of taking cold
or suffering from any discomfort in
the least Before many weeks have
gone by the "tab" will be the pop
ular resort of the town. Everybody
is invited and all interested in the
moral and spiritual good of the COM
munity and countryside will be more
welcome than June weather" in
these premature Zero days" We
hope everyone will "boost" the cam
paign. Better sell your hammer"
and buy whistle" Do!
Rev. A Lee Aldrich and party are
here and everything is in readiness
for the greatest spiritual awakening
Morris and community have ever ex-
perienced. The party, consisting of
six persons, are comfortably housed
with Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fuchs on
: East 8th street near the N. P. depot.
Doubtless everything will be done to
make their stay in our city pleasant
and helpful.
Mr.. Aldrich just closed a great
meeting at Princeton, Mimi. More
than four hundred people surrend-
cred themselves to the claims of
Christ and decided to live new life.
At the last service among those who
acknowledged Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord was Princeton's biggest
gambler. Many prominent people
took a decided stand for righteous
ness in their lives and in the COM
munity. We are all praying that
Morris may have similar outpour-
ing of the Holy Spirit. To this end
we welcome all the prayers and eff
forts of all the people of Morris, ir-
respective of church affiliations. We
shall soon have the city thoroughly
organized for aggressive and success
full work. Mr.. Aldrich is great
preacher and the community will
soon feel the effects of some OF his
"sledge-hammer blows" not against
persons but sins. He is reputed to
be a most magnetic speaker. May
God make him a wonderful blessing
to Morris and surrounding territory!

Mrs. A. A. Stone was leader for

Mrs. Stebbins' topic but as she was
unable to give it Mrs. Irwin Judd
kindly offered to take the subject.
Although she had but short time to
prepare this very difficult paper she
made it interesting for her hearers.
Mrs. John Grove gave we'll pre-
pared book review on Turkey "Am-
bassador Morgenthau's Story"
Mrs. F. R. Putnam gave 'The
Secret City" a novel on Russia by
Hugh Walpole. She brought out the

FARM BUREAU APPEALS
FOR MORE NEW MEMBERS

visits, wrote 1925 circular letters
and sixty articles for publication,
101 meetings were held with an at
tendance of 6381.
Hundreds of farmers have received
large direct benefits as opportunity
offered and all were indirectly helped.
These are only few of the things
done, briefly stated, which you know
to be true, if you have kept your
eyes open. Greater things can be
done in the future with more mem
bers, more money and a larger field
of endeavor.
Organization and Cooperation are
the watchwords of today. :
Industry and commerce are thor
oughly organized for the protection
Of capital. Labor is a close second
and almost as important.
Between the two millstones of or
ganized capital and labor, "The
boogey man will get us if we don't
look out"
At our last county meeting we
voted unanimously to join the State
Federation of Farm Bureaus. With
practically all the counties of the
state represented in this federation,
it will be some factor to protect our
interest. Then the proposition is to
join the National Federation and so
perfect an organization of farmers
which will no longer need to beg for
favors, but which is powerful enough
to demand justice.
We believe that this question of
agricultural organization is in fair
way of being solved and that the
Farm Bureau, together with other
organized farmer movements, is a
big factor in it's solution.
A countrywide membership cam
paign will soon be started. We
plead that the great majority of Stew
ems county farmer will enroll in the
Farm Bureau and thereby enlarge its
field of usefulness. -
If the membership committee does
not call upon you, send in to the
Farm Bureau for membership blank,

Child Killed by Auto

Willmar Tri bune.-Little Ellsworth
Hollen, four-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Hollen, was hit by a
rather swift-going automobile and
killed on the street at Sunburg last
Thursday. His parents are nearly
frantic with grief This was their
only child. About four weeks ago
they lost their baby boy, and now to
lose their f1rst-born in such a sad
manner is almost unbearable, and
certainly the griefstricken parents
have the full sympathy of the whole
community.

Death of Stanley Westby
Contributed by his sister.)

This is written in honor of our
dear beloved son and brother.
Stanley was born March II, 1912,
and died Oct. az, 1919. He was
seven years, six months and ten days
old at the time of his death. He had
been i'll for three months. Stanley
had pleurisy and that affected his
lungs so badly that no medicine or
a physicians help could have given
his strength back again. Afterwards
an abscess formed on his lungs and
that finally burst. They took Stanley
to the hospital a week ago Thursday
to be operated on and this caused
his death, poor darling. The dear
little child didn't even get the pleas
ure of being home when he died.
Stanley longed for mother to stay
with him but they wouldn't allow
her to stay but when they saw death
was near they were more than glad to
leave her stay and comfort her dear
child but it was too late. They tried
to console poor mother but couldn't
do it. They also tried to appease the
contrition of his parents and sisters
but that was impossible for them
to do. Stanley was the most kind,
generous, energetic and peaceful
little child of his time. 1t was most
wonderful to see how he carried his
burdens and Stanley was as brave
as a soldier 1t didn't make any
difference how strong and bad tast-
ing the medicine was he never hesit-
ated; he too was in the hope of get

Schmidt's Going West,

Herman Schmidt has resigned his
position at the Jones Lumber Office
and he and his wife will move west.
They are now busy packing their
household goods and will ship with
the Burpee family. Just where they
will locate or what they will do, they
have not decided, but Mr.. Schmidt
will likely work for Mr. Burpee on
his fruit ranch this winter and in
the spring buy some sort of a ranch
or farm of his own.

Bismarck, N. D., an. 1s.-The state

noinced that the budget for the en-
suing biennium will run close to $5,-
000, GOO, as compared with $4,123.-
854.99 for the last two-year period. /,
This budget will necessitate an in
crease in the assessed valuation Of
taxable property of at least $125,000,-
900, unless the needed can
be raised in whole or in part from
some other source.
The most plausible other source in
the opinion of State Auditor Kositzky
is the combined incomes of 10000
wage-earners, salaried people or pro-
ducers, which at an average income
TAX of $40 per annum would yield the
