ORDERS BEING TAKEN
FOR WAR HISTORY
Solicitors Will Canvas Stevens County
In Near Future for
Them

Work is progressing nicely on the
Stevens County War History, which
The Morris Tribune will publish in
the near future, and records and
photos of the boys who were in the
service are being received each day
On account of the permanent char
acter of the work, the book will not
be printed until the picture of every
soldier, sailor and nurse has been re-
ceived. Those who do not have a
photograph, should get one taken as
soon as possible in order not to de-
lay the publication of the book. c.
l.. Voss, the photographer at Morris,
has given considerable study to the
making of photographs especially
suited for making electrOtypes, and
The Tribune recommends him to the
soldiers needing pictures taken. Mr..
Voss has already taken pictures of
over 400 of the Stevens county SOL
der boys, and everyone of these boys
who has had a photograph taken at
the Voss studio will not only have his
picture in the book, stevens County
in the World War" but will also
have his photo placed in a large
group picture that the Voss studio
is making for the Memorial Room in
the Stevens County Memorial Ar
mOry.
The Tribune office will publish on
ly the number of books ordered in
advance, so if a copy of the book is
desired it will be necessary to place
