AUTO CLUB WILL MEET
NEXT TUESDAY EVENING
Passage of the Babcock Road Plan
Gives Club Definite Sphere
of Usefulness

The annual meeting of the Morris
Auto Club will be held at the Com
mercial club rooms on Tuesday even
ing Of next week, March 4, at 8
o'clock.
"It seems that the time is now ripe
for the Morris Auto club to take it's
place among the live business organ
izations of the state" says Secretary
Chas. A. Lee, in statement to The
Tribune. with the adoption of the
big road building program incident to
the passage of the Babcock road bill,
calling for the expenditure of up
wards of a hundred million dollars
on the public highways, the automo-
bile clubs of the state have definite
sphere Of usefulness in every COM
munity. Stevens county should not
be denied the benefit of a good live
club here, and it is with this idea in
mind that an urgent invitation is eX-
tended to every man in the county
who is interested in good roads,
whether he is an auto owner or not,
to attend next Tuesday nights meet
ing.
with reference to the Babcock
road bill it should be borne in mind
that even tho there has developed
practically no opposition to the meas
ure in the legislature, it cannot be-
come effective until it has been adopt
ed as constitutional amendment at
tI1 01n VI oil II
the difficulties that here present
themselves. 1t will be up to the au-
tomobile clubs of the state, as the
leaders in the good roads movement,
to get ready for the fight that is
coming, and no friend of the Bah
cock road bill should fail to become
a member of the Norris Auto club
now, and thus assist in the boosting
of the good roads program in this
county.
''The time is past when an auto
club was merely social organiza-
tion. The day of tours is gone, and
every live club is now purely busi-
ness organization, having for its
main purpose the improvement of the
roads and highways, so as to make
them more useful not only to the
auto driver but to the farmer who
has to haul his loads over them.
Good roads mean cheaper hauling
and greater farm values, as we'll as
increased prosperity all around, to
the farmer and merchant alike.
"By all means make it a point to
attend Tuesdays nights meeting, and
needed and your presence will
count"

Independent Basket Ball Team

An Independent basket ball team
has been organized in Morris and
their first game was played Friday

was. as follows: Aggies; Mahoney,
right field; Estman, left field; Cum
mings, center; Hoff, right guard;
Halvorson, left guard. The Inde-
pendents, Flatner, left field; Sven
son, right field; Terry, center; Rob
erts, left guard; Jesness, right guard.

Equipment for Co. *"

Two cars of equipment for Co. "K''
arrived in st. Paul two weeks ago
and should be in Morris soon. Alto
gether there will be ten carloads of
equipment for this company and it
will keep on arriving from time to
time. When it. is here there will be
about $23O,OOO worth. The company
means considerable to Norris and
Stevens county, as the pay roll alone
will be about $11OO month.

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS
FOR w. S. S. CAMPAIGN
Harry Adams Chairman and T. Utne
Vice Chairman For War
Savings Division

Harry Adams has been appointed
Chairman, and Theo. Utne, Vice
Chairman of the War Savings Divi-
sion in Stevens county, for the COM
ing year, as DR.. J. w. Harris has
found it necessary to give up this
work for the coming year.
Too much cannot be said in regard
to the good work done by DR.. Harris
during his campaign, which was car
ried on very successfully. No doubt
he has sacrificed a great lot of his
time and it has cost him a great deal
to carry on this work. 1t is under
stood that almost 100000 in War
Savings Stamps were sold thru his
organization in Stevens county.
The organization this year will at
tempt to educate the people thruout
the county to be more saving as the
war work is not yet completed, and
it is costing just as much to bring the
boys home is it cost to take them
over. For this reason the people
will be called upon to invest money
in government securities during the
coming year. It seems to be a gen.
eral opinion among the people that
since the war is over, they will not
be called upon for any more invest
ments, but this is entirely wrong. It
is understood that many who have
bought War Saving Stamps during
the past year, are now cashing them
thru the local post Office. This also
is entirely wrong and they are SIM
ply undoing what has already been
accomplished so that this work will
have to be done over again.
This new organization will work
thru the schools, churches, lodges,
picture shows, farm clubs, and at ev-
cry other public gathering. The idea
is that the people will be taught to
save not only for the benefit of the
government at this time, but for their
own benefit as we'll, as it is known
fact that the American people are
almost the poorest savers in the
world.

WEST CENTRAL SCHOOL
OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS
Several Hundred Dollars Will Be
Raised To Stimulate Interest
Among Students

Plans are now being made by the
West Central School of Agriculture to
raise between $500 and $4,000 for
scholarships to be offered to students
of the institution. These scholar
ships would be awarded to students
whose attainments in their studies
and various student activities we're
worthy of special recognition.
Supt. Miller calls attention to the
fact that other schools offer scholar
ships for promoting interest in and
application to the work of the school,
stimulation of interest in debate and
Oratory, for proficiency in experiment
tation and research, and that the
West Central School must compete
with schools that are Offering these
scholarships. He also believes that
scholarships would very materially
raise the grade of work done in the
West Central School
The business men of Crookston Of
fered scholarships last year, and four
large concerns Of the town gave a
scholarship of $125 each.
The school at Morris covers a wide
territory extending thru Stevens and
all adjoining counties, and the money
for scholarships would be raised in
the entire district. It goes without
saying that the business men of Nor
ris will do their share in a matter Of
this kind, the same as they have in
all other worthy causes. Mr.. Miller
brought the matter up before the
Commercial Club at its last meeting
and the plan was most heartily en-
dorsed and the support Of the club
offered
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1919-02-28

extend hearty approval of the plans
Of the company for this celebration
and to assure them of the co-opera
tion of the Commercial Club.
A motion was made and carried
that the ministers of the city be in
vited to become honorary members
of the club without the payment of
dues and the secretary was instructed
to send any ministers accepting the
invitation key to the club rooms.
A committee of three will be ap-
pointed to have charge of and carry
out a program for Memorial Day.
This committee will cooperate and
confer with the City Commission for
the observance of the day in fitting
manner.
Among the visitors at the meeting
besides Mr.. Wilson, were A. ]. Nc
Guire of the University Farm and
Mr.. Lobdell, from the war savings
stamp headquarters.
Supt. Miller of the West Central
school of Agriculture told Of what the
school is doing in the way of offering
scholarships, and the club heartily
endorsed his plans and offered him its
support. The plans Of the school in
this particular are mentioned else
where.

PLAY FOR BENEFIT OF
FATHERLESS CHILDREN
Mrs. Temples Telegram, Three-Act
Farce, At Orpheum Next
Monday

The progress being made in the re-
hearsals for the three-act farce, Mrs.
Temples Telegram" is most encour-
aging and those taking part in the
play are working every evening in
the week to make themselves as near
perfect as possible. The committee
in charge of the production, Mrs. P.
l.. Spooner, Miss Katherine Griffith
and Mrs. Charles A. Lee, have been
very fortunate in securing some Of
the best talent in Morris for the cast,
and each one seems to be specially
we'll suited to the part he or she is
to take. For this reason the public
can be assured of something especial
ly pleasing in the line Of entertain
ment.
AS stated last week, the play is
being put on for the benefit of the
Fatherless Children of France Society
and all the proceeds will be used to
aid in the cause of the many little
unfortunates who have been depriv-
ed of their fathers by the cruel raw
ages of the world conflict. By pa
tronizing this play, the Norris public
will be enabled to help materially in
this noble work and also be privileged
to enjoy one of the best shows given
here by local talent. The play is a
farce replete with laughable situa-
tions from beginning to end and
there is not dull moment from the
time the curtain rises until the end
Of the play.
Miss Agnes Torpey has arranged
for the rights and royalties of the
production and the music will be fur
nished thru the courtesy of the Ag-
ricultural School. The date of the
play is Monday evening, March 8, and
seats may be reserved at Krueger's
Drug Store after today. Prices Of
admission are 75c, soc and 35c.

gram Of music and talks will be en-

the word" and not hearers only.

The above meaning of the Centen-
ary Movement gives us an idea of the
colossal enterprise and the big pro-
gram Methodist leaders are endeav-
oring to put across. 1t is a monu-
mental undertaking and challenges
the faith and prayers and pockets of
the people by its very bigness and
audacity. That Morris Methodism
will do it's full share goes without
saying.
