FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER
WAS VERY PLEASING
Minneapolis operate Company Ap-
pears Before Large and Appre-
ative Audience

The Minneapolis Operatic Co.
which gave the first entertainment
on the Lyceum Course Monday night,
gave excellent satisfaction. They
not only came up to expectations but
in the estimation of many rather ex-
ceeded the advance notices The
audience was one of the largest that
ever gathered for any Lyceum in
Morris and the Orpheum Theatre was
filled to capacity. Tickets were
placed on sale Monday of last week
and by Tuesday night every seat in
the house had been reserved. AL
together there we're IA children's
tickets sold and 275 adult tickets.
The total received for season tickets
was $412 and about $28 was taken
in on general admission Monday.
The Minneapolis Operatic Co. con-
sisted of two gentlemen and four
ladies. One was a pianist, another
a viOlinist and the other four made
up a quartet. The first part of the
program consisted of musical selec-
tions and the last part was a sketch
entitled Gypsy Trail" protrayed in
song. While the members of the
company were especially drilled in
quartet work, each one was a speci-
alist in his own line and combined
they gave an exceptionally we'll bal
anced entertainment which left no
room for dull places on the program.
The audience showed it's apprecia-
tion by frequent applause and the
close of the musical came all too
soon This entertainment has set the
pace as to quality for the succeeding
numbers on the course.
The course this season consists of
six numbers and these to follow are
as strong as the opening number
The schedule is as follows:
Thursday, November 20.-Col.
George w. Balm, the Kentucky
Orator.
Thursday, Jan. 8.-The Columbia
Sextette in program of songs, cos
tuned selections and readings.
Saturday, Feb. 14.-The Little
Playhouse Company, already we'll
known in Morris.
Thursday, Feb. 26.-The Ongawas
in delightful Japanese entertain
ment of music and stories.
Tuesday, Mar. 2.-The Fighting
Americans, quartet of American
soldiers, giving a pleasing program of
music dealing with service overseas.

CONSIDER FEDERATION
OF FARM BUREAUS
Meeting Was Held In Morris Yester-
day to Ratify State Federation
Plans

A meeting was held in Norris
yesterday attended by all of the
farm bureau officials and county
agents in the counties joining Stew
ems county to consider ratification
OF plans for federation of the Min
nesota Farm Bureaus, as was drawn
up by county delegates to the St.
Paul meeting held September 4 last.
The matter of federation of the clubs
is a statewide problem of interest
to every member of the Farm Bureau.
dealing as it does with the closer CO.
operation of all of the farm bureaus
of the entire United States.
w. E. Morris, assistant state coun-
ty agent leader, was present at this
meeting. Mr.. Norris is taking the
place of w. E. Kirkpatrick, who has
been in Morris many times during
the past two years in connection
with farm bureau work.
1t is hoped that the state feder-
alton will have been completed in
time so that Minnesota can take part
in the convention called at Chicago
during November when a nation
wide federation will be formulated.
Twenty states have already formed
state organizations of their farm
bureaus. This movement promises
much for promoting the welfare Of
agriculture
There is nothing in the idea of
either a state or national fedora ton
of Farm Bureaus which can be seri-
ously criticised by thoughtful farm
ers. Such a federation is not pro-
posed as substitute or as an ant
agonist of other organizations There
is involved only the idea of quickly
assembling nationwide non-poli-
tical organization, representing and
made up only of real farmers, who
are willing to place the welfare of
of the nation above the welfare Of
the class or individual, an organiz-
alton that will serve as a
means of expression for asserting
the rights Of the great agricultural
class of people. AS outlined, this
organization is simply the symbol
for good Americanism, based on the
intelligent viewpoint of farm people.
1t proposes only to see what farmers,
acting together, can do for the ma
tion, the state and the community in
the betterment of agricultural con-
ditiOns.

Stndents' Club

Most Of the members and several
guests were present at the first meet
ing of the Students Club held at the
home of Mrs. Stebbins on Monday,
Oct. 6.
A very interesting report of the
District and State Federation was
given by Mrs. Hancock.
Americanization is the principal
idea of the Clubs program for this
year and Mrs. Stever in giving the
preamble of the Constitution reached
the heart of the subject.
Mrs. Gould followed with the Con-
stitutional Amendments which were
listened to with interest.
Relation of Federal to State Gov
ernment was explained by Mrs.
Geenty.
The study of, French is being TAX
en- up by the club and the members
with the help of Mrs. Cartwright

freshments were served by the hos
tess.

Road Will Not Be Changed

On Monday County Commissioners
Gausman, Lawler, Dohlen, Burt and
Mecklenburg, County Auditor Woll-
than, County Attorney Cherry and
Engineer Hunt went to st. Paul, to
obtain from State Highway Commits
sioner Babcock a reversal of his de-
cision regarding the route of the
state road between here and Han
cock.
The plan heretofore tentatively
adopted was to change the Norris
Hancock state road so that it would
pass from the east side of the track
to the west side of the track under
the Great Northern railway bride at
the Pomme de Terre river, and thus
eliminate the grade crossing over the
railroad track about two miles furth-
er south.
When the county authorities came
to work out the plan, however, they
found that the land owners wanted
5000 an acre for right of way, that
the Great Northern intends to dou-
BILE track, and does not know which
side it will put the new track, that
the new bridge over the river would
have to be at least 10 feet long,
and that the expense was altogether
prohibitive.
The county officers laid all these
matters before Commissioner Babcock
on Monday with the full details.
Various other plans of eliminating
this grade crossing we're discussed
but none appeared practical, and SO
the commissioner approved the road
as it now runs.

are all hard-working girls. Veneta
can milk COWS, shock grain, cook for
threshers, is the best soprano singer
in the Alberta Glee Club, ranks at
the head of her class, and has hum

in good health. She is a member Of
the eighth grade and when not in
school raises a garden and works in
her fathers store. TheIma Fougeron
is her mothers right-hand help. She

is an old club worker at Alberta, hav-
ing done fine work in a county COM
petitive demonstration in canning at
the Stevens county fair two years
ago. She is a Junior, while Veneta
is a sophomore.
"These girls have definitely shown
again how that girls we'll trained
and willing to work are able to do
many things we'll. In their later
demonstrations they can fruits, veg
etables, meats, fouls, fish, etc., in
both glass jars and tin cans. They
also show in another demonstration
baking bread, cake, pies, fancy
breads and quick breads. In still
another demonstration they show
work in piano and singing, altogeth-
er showing how girls can do excellent
work in both cultural and industrial
lines in their life's work.
"These girls did faithful work in
canning large Quantities of food for
the starving world. When the coun-
ty canning contest was called
at the end of August they
participated and won the highest
honors. AS Stevens county's repre-
sentative team they went to the

"The above picture shows the Min
nesota team in competition with the
other ten state champion demonstra-
tion teams. These three team dem
onstrators have again shown the high
value of boys and girls club work.
The captain of the team, Veneta, is
the treasurer of the Alberta Boys
and Girls Club, while Lenora Eystad
is the secretary. The whole club is
divided into four divisions, bread
baking, corn and pig raising, garden
and canning, and baby beef.
"The history of this club is re-
markable The corn division alone
has won 1926 in cash Stevens county
prizes, excluding those won this
year. This year this club division
again won first, second and third
prizes in the acre yield corn contest,
with most of the other prizes in ad-
dition. This division also sent seven
corn growers to the state fair free
camp because of highest place in the
county contest.
'"The bread baking division did re-
markable work in this line. Six of
their members represented this coun-
ty at the state fair in free trips to
the girls camp at the University.
'"This club has never been defeated
in corn growing for seven years, or
ever since the corn contest work was
begun. In pig growing it has been
defeated only once, last year by
George Stein of Chokio.
''This year one of it's members,
Henry Busch, won first in the county
contest and received free trip to
the state fair. There his pig, Lady
Top Notcher, won second honors in
competition with forty-nine other
pigs, all the best each county could
send. He and his pig are going to
receive free trip to the Internation-
al Live Stock Exposition at Chicago

PRES. BROWN SPEAKS
ON HOW TO STUDY
Parents and Teachers Association
Have Most Successful
Meeting

The meeting of the Parents and
Teachers Association held on Mon
day evening was the most successful
yet held both from the point of view
of the program given and the at
tendance. The high school audit
orium was filled to it's capacity. The
principal feature of the program was
the address by President S. G. Brown
of the st. Cloud Normal on "a New
Movement in Education" His theme
was teaching children how to study.
He quoted Prof. James, the most
eminent psychologist of this country
to the effect that the focusing Of the
wandering attention was the most
important factor in the developing
of the judgment, character and will.
This ability to concentrate the at
tention is so important that father
who was asked as to whether he
would prefer to have his son dunk
ard or lacking the power of concen-
tration, stated that he would choose
that he be a drunkard because if the
boy lacked the power of concentra-
tion he would probably be drunk
ard anyway and worse. Seventy-ive
per cent of the inmates of prisons
lack the power of concentration.
The first impressions given chil6
should be clear, definite and truth
full. The memory should be culti-
waited, and President Brown said q
word for the old-fashioned education
and the benefits of frequent reviews
for fixing a subject in the mind anC
for co-ordinating the different phases
of a subject. He spoke of some chill
dren being auditory-minded, some
visual-minded and some motor mind
ed, that is, that some learn most
readily by hearing thing, others by
seeing it and others by writing it
The best results are obtained ir
teaching when all three methods are
used.
In closing President Brown asked
for eight hours real solid work pei
dayly each pupil. He answered some
questions which wer raised along this
line. The address presented tech,
nical subject in an easily-understooC
, manner and was much appreciated
by the large audience present.
Previous to the address a piano
duet was given by Mrs. Giesen anC
Miss Margaret Ryan, and a vocal
selection by Miss Ethel Bullock
After the address light refreshments
were served by the committee con-
sisting of Mrs. Utne, Mrs. Jennings
Mrs. Tressler, Miss Agnes Foley and
Miss Cora Palm.

J. BERKIN AND BRIDE
ARRIVE In MORRIS
Cordial Welcome Extended to Avia-
tion Lieutenant Who Brings
French Bride

Lieut.. Jay J. Berkin and his
French bride arrived in Morris this
week and we're cordially received by
the many old friends of the groom.
After their visit here, they intend
to go to Minneapolis where they will
make their future home at 1000 AL
drich Avenue South, Minneapolis.
Friends here express regret that Mr..
and Mrs. Berkin are not to make
their home in Morris, as Mrs. Berkin
proves to be a charmingly typical
American girl, who speaks English
with just a slight accent due to the
fact that she learned Fernch before
she acquired English. She began
her study in English only little
over a year ago, and speaks Spanish,
German and Italian also. She is the
daughter of M. Paret, a prominent
citizen Of Clermont, France.
Lieut.. Berkin has been in the SER
vice for about two and a half years.
He enlisted Dec. Is, 1917, in the
Cadet Air Service at Berkeley, Cali
fornia, and then completed his train
ing at Dallas, Texas, and at the Aerial
Gunnery School at Mt Clemans, Mich.
In France he was at the Ground
School at st. Maxient and then in
stead of being sent over the lines
was held as an instructor in aerial
cunning and day bombing at Cler-
mont, at which place he met his
bride. He returned to New York on
Feb. 4, and since then has been on
duty at Hoboken, New Jersey.
