INVITED TO
ATTEND CLUB MEETING
Community Interests Will Be Dis
cussed by Business Men and
Farmers

At the last meeting of the Com
mercial Club it was decided to in
vite the farmers tributary to Morris
to meet with the club at it's next
meeting and this will be held next
Friday night, April 4.
This invitation is extended to
every farmer in this vicinity and
none should wait for a personal in
vitation. The time has come when
town people and farmers must rub
elbows more in social way and the
purpose Of this meeting is to get
better acquainted. A slogan adopted
in recent years has been, "Get ac-
quainted with your neighbor, you
might like him." People of Norris
have adopted the slogan, "Get ac-
quainted with your farmer neigh
Dor, you might like him." and as a
sta rter the farmers are invited to the
commercial club as stated above.
Later on some arrangement will be
made whereby the farmer and his
entire family can get better acquaint-
ed with their neighbors.
Often times the farmer gets the
idea that the business man in town
is trying to do him and only wants
his business and his money. This
is far from the truth and conditions
of last fall prove that the town peo-
pie are interested in the country peo-
pie. Many a business man left his
store and Office last fall and assisted
with the work on the farm because
help was scarce, and this service was
rendered free of charge.
The commercial club rooms will be
open about seven o'clock next Fri
day night and farmers are invited
to enjoy the comforts and attend the
smoker. The rooms are beautifully
furnished and the man from the
country will enjoy the evening if he
only comes out.

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
COMES NEXT MONTH
F. A. Hancock Will Again Head
Work of the Committee in This
County %

The Fifth Liberty, or Victory,
Loan drive will be made next month
and is expected to start about the
21st of April. F. A. Hancock, who
has had charge of the other drives
in this county, has been prevailed
upon to assume the responsibility of
chairman of the county again and he
is now busy perfecting his organiza-
tiOn for the drive.
1t is hoped and expected that the
work in this county will be accom-
plished in record time. There is a
feling of satisfaction that the war
is over and the boys are returning
from overseas, and this furnishes a
good reason for believing that the
county will meet it's apportionment
and then some.
Stevens county cannot afford to
fall behind in this drive She has a
record to maintain and should strive
to maintain it.

Miss Hedman, of the Agricultural

the club with two very pleasing

Physical and Moral Dangers which
the war brings to children. This
paper was extremely interesting and
showed very vividly in what measure
the warning nation injured the child
life of their respective countries.

private companies, will carry these
converted policies, it was emphasized
in denial of reports that the insur-
ance business during the war
would now be turned over by the gov
ernment to private concerns. Thus
will be created a permanent govern
ment life insurance agency, the big
gest in the world.
The war risk insurance bureau re-
ported 4,480,OOO policies already
have been issued to soldiers and saa-
ors for insurance aggregating $780,
332,00O,000 an average of $8,756 on
each man. The volume of this bust
ness may be determined by compari-
son with the 7,OOO,OOO,OOO total
of life insurance carried by private
companies in the United States.
Up to the last week, 34,969 awards
had been made on deaths for amounts
aggregating $294,72O,OOO.

New Victory Stamps Here

Postmaster Hope has received a
consignment of the newest postage
stamps, recently issued by the gov
ernment and styled the Victory
Stamp. The stamp is of &c denomin-
alton, purple in color and the de-
sign is 27-32 by 3-4 inch in size.
The design presents standing figure
of Liberty Victorious, with back
ground composed of the flags Of the
five countries which were most ac-
lively engaged in the great war.
The figure of Liberty is helmeted,
the upper part of the body is encased
in scale armor and flowing skirt
falls to the feet. The right hand
grasps a sword, the point Of which
rests on the ground at the feet Of
the figure, the left arm is partially
extended and the hand holds bal
ance scale, representing justice.
Back of the figure appears the Am
erican flag, at the left are draped
the British and Belgian flags and
at the right the Italian and French
flags. The issue of the Victory
Stamps is not sufficiently large to
take the place Of the regular &c
stamps, and postmasters are instruct
ed to supply them only to patrons
who request them.

Death of H. G.. burst

H. G. burst, resident of Morris
about rs years ago, died at Kalis-
pell, Montana, on March 7. He was
about SIS years of age, and will be
remembered by many of the old set
lers here. The following notice of
his death is from a Montana paper:
III. G. burst, pioneer resident of
Kalispell, who in fact camped at De-
mersville before Kalispell began to
build, died at the hospital Friday
morning, where he had been treated
only a short time. Mr. burst was a
carpenter and builder and had as
sisted in the construction of many
Of KalispelIs first houses. He had
complained of bodily pains and dis
tress for quite a while at home and
was finally induced to go to the hos
pital where he died before his treat
ment had progressed. Septic anemia
is given as the cause of death. The
funeral was held Tuesday and the
carpenters union attended in a
body. There were many other friends
of deceased and the family at the
Baptist church who followed the re-
mains to the grave in C. E. Conrad
Memorial cemetery. His wife and
brother, George burst, of Kalispell,
survive him, also two sisters, Mrs.
Rose COnklin of Morris, Mimi, and
Mrs. May SWindell of 40 Third
avenue east north"

County Plans For Construction Of Ten
Miles OF Pavement And Forty OF Gravel

The greatest road-building pro-
gram ever planned in Stevens county
was launched last Friday when the
county commissioners passed the
necessary resolutions for the paving
of ten miles of the state road from
to Hancock and the graveling of the
balance of the two main state roads
each way across the county, that is,
from the Great Northern depot
northwest thru Donnelly to the
Grant conuty line, and from Han
cock south east to the Pope county
line, and also the east and west road
thru Morris, Alberta and Chokio
from the Pope county line to the
Big Stone county line.
The work will cost approximately
$45O,OOO.
Half Of this amount, or 1925, 900,
will be obtained from the Minnesota
allotment of federal aid. Last year
Minnesota was awarded $1,42O,774
of federal aid, but it all went to
other counties than Stevens. This
year, the federal allotment to Min
nesota is $3,551,936, and next year
it will be $2,841,989. These vast
sums all go to the counties which
apply for them and meet the condi-
ton of paying half the cost of the
roads, and build roads of perman-

SOLDIERS URGED TO
KEEP UP INSURANCE
Government Life Insurance Can be
Converted Into Other Forms
of Insurance

Conditions under which soldiers
and sailors now holding government
life insurance may convert these poll
cies within five years into other forms
which can be carried with the gov
ernment during their lifetime have
been announced by Colonel Henry D.
Lindsey of the War Risk Life Insur-
public soon, as the new policies will
not be available until little later
There will be six different kinds
of ihsurance-ordinary life, 20 pay
ment life, 80 payment life, 20 year
endowment, 80 year endowment and
endowment payable at age Of 62. All
policies will contain clauses provid-
ing that, in case of permanent total
disability of the insured man, the
government will make monthly pay
ments to him and premium payments
will cease. This amounts virtually
to old age pensioning and disability
insurance and insures that no man
who has served in the army or navy
need ever be destitute if he carries
the government insurance.
All policyholders will participate
in dividends, and earnings of over
31a per cent from the insurance fund
will go into dividends. Since the re-
serves will be invested in government
securities, most of which will pay in
the neighborhood of 4 IL per cent it
is certain there will be large divi-
dends to be returned to be periodi-
cally paid to policyholders.
Collections or premiums will be
made thru postmasters.
Any man in military or naval SER
vice holding government term life in
surance can obtain the new forms,
but the amount will be limited to his
present holdings. The government
urges all men to continue to carry
their present policies, but to convert
these as soon as they are able within
the next five years.
The government itself, and not
