METHODISTS PLANNING
BIG IMPROVEMENTS
Will Raise $4,000, Half to Go to
Centenary, Half for Local
Purposes

The Methodist church Of Morris is
keeping pace with the other Metho-
dist churches of Minnesota in rails
ing their share of the $105, 100000
to be subscribed in five years by peO-
pie of America to be used for ex-
tension work in this country and
Europe. Not only will the Morris
church raise it's share of the big
amount, which is $500, but it will
raise just double this sum and use the
other $500 for local improvements.
. The official board of the church
met last Sunday to talk over the
plans and after considerable DELHI
GRAFTON it was decided to make a
drive for $4,000, to be subscribed
in five yearly payments, $3,400 to
come in each year. The present
church building is in need of re-
pairs and it is also much too small
to take care of the Sunday school and
evening congregations. For this
reason an extension must be built
and the $500 will be used for this
purpose. 1t is hoped to begin work
on the new part in a few months.
DIR. Powell is now at work raising
the $4,000 and by yesterday morn
ing he had $935O Of this amount

COUNTY NEARING GOAL
FOR VICTORY LOAN
Chairman Hancock Announces That
Only Two Districts are Now
Behind

The Victory Liberty Loan has
made good strides in this county since
week ago and on Wednesday Chair
man Hancock announced that it
would take only $4,000 more to
bring the county up to it's allotment
of $36O,0OO. Last week the county
was $57,500 short of the amount ex-
pected. There is no question now
but that the county will go over the
top, but it means that two districts
will have to do their share.
The two districts still behind on
their allotment are Donnelly and AL
berta. The Hancock and Chokio dis
tricts we're both over-subscribed last
week. Mr.. Norby, chairman of the
Alberta district, called The Tribune
office yesterday to state that the Will
age of Alberta had gone over the
top. In the Morris district the town
ship of Morris is still very much in
arrears but there are several large
allotments which are expected to
come in without the chairman hav-
ing to go after them.
One of the unexpected subscrip-
tions was $500 from the Standard
Oil Co.

Donate to Anoka Home

The Ladies of the G.. A. R. held
their regular meeting at the home
of Miss Holman.
The matter of Tag Day that was
announced last week was talked over
and the circle decided that as there
has been so much collecting of late, it
would be best not to observe Tag
Day but to take the money out Of
the treasury and send it to the Anoka
Home.
A very interesting meeting was
held after which a social time was
enjoyed and choice records were
played on the victrola. Mrs. Martha
Maughan and Mrs. Dorothea Kohl
served delicious refreshments.

Literary Club Social Meeting

On Monday, May 5, the social meet
ing of the Literary Club was held at
the home of Mrs. F. E. Putnam with
Mrs. A. A. Stone and Mrs. G. L. Hem
ming assisting hostesses.
Nearly all the members of the
club were present and a few invited
guests. The club has been studying
current topics during the year which
has proved most interesting and pro-
fitable. For this meeting program
was dispensed with and games and
contests we're participated in by all.
The meeting partook some what of a
farewell party for Mrs. Burpee, a
charter member who left that night
for the West. Travel letters de-
scriptive of a trip to Europe were
written by the ladies and given to
Mrs. Burpee to read on her journey.
Miss Cora Rhyn who participated
in the recent contest in st. Paul for
declamatory honors, was present and
gave her reading entitled "Ann's
Confession" in pleasing manner.
Prizes for the day were won by
Mrs. Beise and Mrs. Stewart. After
the social hour an elaborate lunch
was served, the guests seated at five
small tables and at the dining table
in the dining room where Mrs. Bur-
pee had the seat of honor.
The colors used in decoration were
pink and white. A most enjoyable
afternoon was spent and thus closed
successful year of the Literary
Club.

raised and considerable more in
sight. The officials of the church ex-
pect that the entire $4,000 will
have been pledged by the 25th Of
May.
The plans now are to build an ad-
dition on the East side of the church
about 40 feet by SO feet, with full
basement. This would be built on
the idea of Parish Hall which could
be thrown open into the church prop
er and used as an auditorium or
closed up and used for social pur-
poses. The basement would contain
dining rooms and kitchen, shower
baths, gymnasium and Sunday school
rooms. The idea would be to keep
this part of the building open at all
times and used as place where the
young people of the city could meet
for social purposes and recreation
each night in the week if necessary
and would be at the disposal of all
young people whether belonging to
the Methodist church or not. There
is at present need for such build
ing where the young people can find
the sort of amusement and recreation
to which they are entitled.
The drive for the Centenary will
be on all over the country from May
18 to rs, and already many churches
in the st. Paul area have pledged
their quota. The st. Paul area COM
prises the states of South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin and e. D.
Kohlstedt of Minneapolis is in charge
of the campaign. He reports that
eighty churches in his district have
pledged their quota and that already
100000 has been subscribed.
The Methodist Episcopal church
will spend $2,908,85O in Europe this
year, and nearly as large an amount
upon reconstruction work in this
country. 1t is planned to spend $5,-
| 100000 a year on reconstruction for
the five years of the centenary period.
Arrangements have been made by
the Centenary for the dispatch of a
Methodist relief ship, laden with
food, clothing and other necessities,
for the stricken populations of Eur
ope. 1t will sail within a few weeks.

Parents and Teachers Meet

A parents and teachers associa-
tion meeting was held in the high
school hall Monday evening. The
splendid attendance was surely in
dicative of mutual interest between
our schools and our homes. In the
absence of Rev. F. H. Richardson,
Harry Adams acted as pro tenn secre-
tary. He took the names and fees
of quite number of new names for
membership. Mrs. G.. L. Powell pre-
sided for the first time and carried
the program through successfully.
The musical part Of the evening
was furnished by Mrs. G. B. Sylvand-
er who rendered two solos and a trio
consisting of Mesdames L. D. Trip,
w. F. Cooley and G.. w. Beise sang a
selection which called forth an en-
core. These contributions were much
appreciated.
DR.. Powell gave paper on "The
Ideal Relations Of Teachers and
Parents" which elected a somewhat
lively and interesting discussion.
Professor Utne led on the call of the
chair. Mrs. Powell then requested
Miss Dodds to speak and suggested
that the talk follow a chain each
naming the other. On the whole the
meeting was a presage Of greater CO.
operation on the part Of all for the
training and upbuilding Of our young
people into an ideal American citizen
shin.

SCHOOL PUPILS PLAN
FOR SUMMER GARDEN
Mr.. Anderson of Agricultural School
Gives Some Valuable Informa-
ton

The members of the Norris Gar
den Clubs are now busy planting and
planning their summer gardens and
the young people are taking a great
deal of interest in the work. Two of
the clubs have selected names and
meetings are held every two weeks,
at which time the members make a
report of their work and different
things are talked over pertaining to
the garden work. The fifth and sixth
grades in, the Longfellow building
have named their club, "Uncle Sans
Helpers" and the 7th and 9Th grades
in the high school building have TAX
en- the name of 'Soldiers of the Soil"
The last named club held a meet
ing at the school house Tuesday af-
ternoon, presided over by the officers.
Marion Powell, the president, had
charge of the program and Gladys
Michalscheck, the secretary, kept the
minutes. At this meeting Mr.. An
derson of the West Central School of
Agriculture gave an outline for a
garden and it is worth following by
any who plan to make a garden this
this year.
For the ordinary city garden Mr.
Anderson recommends a plot 50x11O
feet, which makes one-eighth of an
acre. In the country he recommends
a much larger garden and also a
larger garden in the city where the
ground is available. The garden
should be laid out in a rectangular
shape if possible with the long rows
running north and south. In his
outline of the 50x11O foot garden
he plans nineteen rows, the first
eight rows being IL feet apart and
the other eleven rows being 21s feet
apart. The first row should be plant
ed half to radishes and half to let
tuce and when these are too old for
use they should be followed by late
tomatoes. The second row should
contain early peas followed later by
celery. The third row early peas
followed by celery, turnips or ruta-
! bagas. Fourth row half early beets
and half carrots followed later by
spinach or swiss chard. Fifth row
early cabbage with radish or lettuce
planted between the cabbage plants
Sixth row turnips followed by late
peas. Seventh row early potatoes
followed by spinach or radish. Eighth
row half parsnips and half onions
|
sets. These first eight rows should
be planted from the first to the
eighth of May. Starting about the
middle of May rows nine, ten, eleven
and twelve should be planted. Rows
nine and ten should contain golden
bantam sweet corn. Pumpkins
should be planted as a companion
crop to the corn, hill Of pumpkin
being planted about every ten feet

u. S. Captain, Given
Is Years, Released
On Habeas Corpus

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. S.
David A. Henkes, former army cap
tain,, who was court-martialed early
in the war and sentenced to serve
Is years in the disciplinary bar
racks at Fort Leavenworth for al
legged disloyalty, will be released to-
morrow upon writ of habeas cor
pus issued by Judge John c. Pol
lock of the United States district
court. it was learned today.
Judge Pollock's decision declares
that the court-martial was illegally
constituted, being made up entirely
of retired army officers, and restor-
ed Henkes to his rank of captain in
the regular army.
At the outbreak of the war Hen
kes, whose father was born in Ger
many, rendered his resignation, say
ing he could not make war upon
blood relations. His resignation
was refused and the court-martial
followed.
