1T is generally supposed that the
mills of justice grind slowly" but
the local authorities made record
last Thursday. Mr.. Clausen, of the
j. C. Penney Store, discovered that
worthless check had been passed at
his store the day before, and as is
usual he sought the aid of the law to
bring the guilty one to justice.
At 1000 in the forenoon he took
the check to the Sheriff's Office, and
gave description of the party. Sher-
if Elliott had an idea that he knew
the fellow who had passed the check.
States Attorney Hunt field an infor-
nation, the sheriff. arrested him, and
had him before the judge and plead

I. Al ! II HOSPITAL
EARLY PIONEER OF RAMSEY
COUNTY DIES AT LOCAL HOS

Saturday evening last William j.
Morgridge, familiarly know as "Bill"
passed away at the Cen
eral hospital in this city, after being
almost helpless for the past two
years..
Few men in this county were better
known than Mr.. Morgridge, as he
came here from Maine in 1882, and
squatted on a homestead near Grand
Harbor station before the land had
been surveyed. He farmed for few
years, and in 1898 he purchased the
mercantile business, of A. J. Stade,
who then merchant of Grand Har-.
Dor, and later he took in F. E. Merrick
as a partner, and for many years the
firm Of Morgridge e Merrick was
known among the leading business
firms of the county. After conduct
ing this store for many years, and
laying aside a small fortune, he dis
posed Of the same, and for the past
number of years has not been active
ly engaged in business, but has spent
most Of his time looking after his
large property interests.
y Some two years ago he suffered Il
stroke of paralysis, and since that he
has been in the General hospital in
this city, and while he has been a
great care, he has received every at
tention, and everything possible was
done not only to make him comforta-
BILE, but to nurse him back to health.
Last Saturday he suffered second
stroke, and lapsed into unconscious
ness and passed away in the evening
The only two known relatives are
two nephews residing in Maine, and
they were notified by wire, of his
death and a telegram reached the city
asking that the remains be shipped tx
his former home in Maine. Soon af
ter his death his will was filed will
the county judge, and upon opening
it he had made a request that he b
buried in Devils Lake, and according
ly those wishes were carried out, ant
the funeral was held this Afternoon
from the Elk's home, he having beer
a member of that order, and was al
so member of the Masonic lodge o.
this city, and the remains were lait
at rest in the G. A. r. cemetery nea
the city.
In his will he designated Geo. Juer
gems and E. F. Merrick as admins
traitors, and they will have charge O.
his estate until it is properly distrib
uted per his request.
-"Bill" Morgridge was man anon,
men, and was highly respected by al
who knew him. He was well edu
| Gated man, and a typical Mainite. H
had his peculiarities, but was always
honest, open and straightforward to {
fault.
His death has cast shadow o1
gloom over the county, and hundred:

4 new FARM
PROFESSION
4 Profitable and Attractive Vocation
Offers Good Future for Dis
abled Farm Men

Washington, D. C.-Labor is the
great problem on the farm at the
present time. War conditions and alb
normal wages in the various lines of
industry have demoralized farm help
TO such an extent that it is exceeding
ly difficult get assistance requisite
to carry on operations.
In this state of chaos, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education has
hit upon what seems to be a solution
and has created brand new profess
sion-that of farm mechanic" and
it is figured that any farm of more
than 100 cultivated acres can very
we'll afford to have a man of this sort.
The men being qualified for this
work are disabled soldiers who before
injury were farm boys. With this
background of agricultural knowledge
these men are being taught to oper-
ate modern tractors which do the
are being taught operation, care and
up-keep of motor trucks and other gas
engines. They are being given
general course in looking after all
machinery used on modern farms, and
indications are that the supply of these
specially trained men will not begin
to equal the demand. Farm hands
who before the war, could not hope to
make more than $25 or $50 month
as Iaborers can by becoming proficient
as farm mechanics, qualify for posi-
tions paying from $100 to $125 per
:nonth with steady employment the
year around.
1t is an exceedingly interesting de-
--elopment of our national rural life
brought about by forces Of necessity.
and is but another illustration of the
we'll known fact that the emergency
s usually met in one form Or another.
Farm boys who have been discharged
md are disabled as result of their
services either by sickness, accident
disease would do well to write to
he Federal Board for Vocational Ed
1cation, Washington, D. c., and obtain
the particulars Of this training which
he Government provides free for its
disabled men.

you nothing to get that which man

true that any man can make living,

compelled to do it with their muscles.
At the present stage Of the game the
