this would not have been so bad if it
had not rained, but when it rained
the ground was so soft that the
tents and several nights I woke up
soaked to the skin and all my blank
cts wet thru and me sleeping in a
puddle of mud and water. Even
with the hardships, the boys would
not have wanted to miss the exper-
ience."
The boys left Morris July %, 1918
and left Minneapolis July "a, as
part of the drafted contingent from
this state. They were officially in
craft Machine Gun Battalion at
Camp Wadsworth, S. c., August 4,
1918, and fitted with uniforms and
all set for formidable charge
against all enemies doing business in
the sky. They we're drilled hard and
given great deal of instruction un-
til August 21, when they entrained
for Newport News, and went aboard
the U. S. S. Zeelandia September g.,
1918, on their way to the worlds
battlefield. They landed at Brest,
France, on Sept. Fl, being fourteen
days going over. On October l, they
arrived at Langres and on October 2
were at st. Ciergues, twenty miles
from the front. They stayed there
until the armistice was signed Nov
ember II, but we're all ready to ad-
vance to the front line. They we're
living in regular front line trenches
and the First, Second and Third units
were already in the fight. They
started for home December II and
spent two weeks at Brest, leaving
there on the man-of-war Seattle, the
flag ship of the Atlantic fleet. They
arrived in Hoboken on January IL
and in Minneapolis January 26.
The Fourth Anti-Aircraft Machine
Gun Battalion did not get to the
very front but it's intensive training
which at the end of one month put
it on the overseas list, found it ready,
20 miles back of the lines, within
sound Of the heavy guns, to jump in
to the breach and bring down the en-
emy planes by the dozens.
On the way home the ship ran into
heavy seas 500 miles out and great
waves washed the desk, keeping the
troops below decks for two days.

CLUB WORK MEETING
WAS WELL ATTENDED
Representatives Present from Every
County in This Part of the
State.

A meeting was held in the CONNER
cial Club rooms of Morris Friday aft
ernoon of last week to make plans
for organizing Boys and Girls Club
work in this and surrounding coun-
ties and to acQuaint the people with
the club work idea. This meeting
was attended by county agents, club
leaders, county superintendents, rep
resentatives of farmers clubs and
business men, and the speakers were
K. A. Kirkpatrick, assistant state
county agent leader, T. A. Erickson,
state Boys and Girls Club leader,
Mr.. Nubill from the University Farm,
st. Paul and Mr.. Fisher from Wash
ington, D. G.
Each county represented at the
meeting was organized and those pre-
sent went home to put the plans into
action. The principal clubs to be
organized will be the Pig Clubs, Gar
den Clubs, and Corn Clubs, and work
in canning will be emphasized among
the girls.
Mr.. Nubill's talk was we'll received
and gave a good impression of what
is expected from the club work The
speech in part follows:
II have been very much interested
in the program here today and can
bespeak for this section Of the state
splendid work for next year. I have
appreciated the reports given. know
the essentials of boys and girls club
work and what you have outlined
here today you will carry thru. You
have also outlined here today the few
steps that are necessary for the or
ganization Of clubs for final report.
That is the great change in this
meeting from most meetings I at
tend. Club work needs attention
each month and interest kept up in
the communities. Heretofore, I have
been organizing clubs and they are
all farming little farms and we have
been expecting them to do what we
should not expect grown folks to do.
The one thing to bring into your
programs is work demonstration. ]
like these experiments at the farms,
but let's not deny the home folks the
good Of these things. Let's see that
we're not driving nails all the time,
but we are going to clinch few with
the hammer. We are going to get
around where we see results. It isn't
what you do but what you get Other
people to do.
Cooperation is the basis of rural
farm life and club work is one of the
Fstones that will go into that struct.
ure. I am interested in other work
besides club work and county agents
It is essential to have cooperation
and have every body willing to dc
things. If we can pull in the same
direction, will be surprised If W.
don't do wonders in this old stats
next year. Organized producer tx
organized consumer. Legislation car
never make cooperation. It may
pave the way but it is up to US ant

MAN OF MANY NAMES
DRAWS FIVE YEARS
Had Plenty of Bank Checks but
Failed to Deposit Money to
Cover Them.

The final chapter in the little cpl
sode of the newly married couple ar
rested in Morris two weeks ago has
been written and the gentleman is
now resting in the penitentiary at
saltwater and the girl is safely back
home with her parents. The follow
ing is what the Hancock Record had
to say of the man in the case:
zone Ray Miller, or Emory Powell,
or Chas. West, or John Larksen, just
as he happened to feel, and with
check books on half a dozen banks
drifted into town week or two ago
and several of our merchants are out
something over $40. He would buy
some little article and as he was
short of change would give a check
for even money and get back some
change each time. One of the mer-
chants sWOre out warrant for him
and Deputy FentOn went to Benson
to get him and found him in Jail at
that place on charge of abduction,
to which charge he pleaded guilty
before the District Judge and was
given five years in prison we are told.
It seems he had been working for
Tim Murphy in Tara and became so
attentive to fourteen year old
daughter of Mr.. Murphy that the lat
tire told him to go. He went to Dan
vers with the expressed intention of
going from there to Appleton and
home to Inwood, Iowa, but in the alb
sence of Mr.. Murphy at Benson, he
got livery rig at Danvers and in
duced the girl to come to Hancock,
getting an auto here to take them
to Morris and swearing the girl was
twenty-one years of age, they Sc
cured a license and we're married.
Mr. Murphy was on their trail in a
little while and on telephoning Sher-
iff Zahl, the latter found the two at
the movies and took the two in
charge. Murphy went up and
brought the girl back and the sher-
if from Benson took charge of the
man with numerous check books and
the unlimited gall. He had no ac-
count in any of the banks.

Cherry Now Commands Co. K.

VIM. H. Cherry is now in command
of Co K, Captain Vinje having been
found to be beyond the age limit ac-
cording to the federal regulations, as
fully explained in his communica-
tion below. Captain Vinje will retain
his rank, but the command of Co. K
will pass to Lieut.. Cherry, who now
becomes captain. Other promotions
will follow in order, Lieut.. Voss be-
coming first lieutenant, and Sergeant
Hope second lieutenant. Captain
Vinje has been very popular with the
men of the company, who regret ex-
ceedingly that he cannot go with
them into the federalized company.
Captain Vinje has issued the follow
ing farewell announcement:
January 29th, 1919.
From Captain N. Vinje,
Morris, MINI
To: Officers and men of Co. K,
9Th Reg. MINI. Inf. N. G.
Subject: Farewell announcement.
1. A copy of the official order
extending Federal recognition to the
9Th Regiment, Minnesota Infantry,
National Guard has just been>received
at Company Headquarters and it dis
closes that, while the regiment as a
whole was accepted and recognized,
ten officers, of whom it is my misfort-
une to be one, were rejected as being
above the prescribed age limits for
officers of their several grades.
2. It had been hoped that the
age requirements for officers would be
entirely waived, but the Militia Bur-
eau of the War Department refused
to concede more than five years in
any individual case. AS I am 13 years
over the age limit prescribed for Cap
tain, could not be accepted and
must retire from the command Of the
company. ..-

LIVESTOCK SHIPPING
ASSOCIATION FORMED
Meeting Held Last Saturday and
Shipping Association Organ
lied for Morris.

About fifty farmers from the vicin-
ity Of Morris met last Saturday to
take up the matter Of organizing a
Livestock Shipping Association and
before the meeting adjourned the pre-
lminary arrangements were made
and the officers elected
In the absence of Mr.. Nash, P. S.
Jordan acted as chairman, and he ex-
planned some of the benefits of ship
ping association and called on officers
Of the Donnelly Shipping Association
and the Alberta Shipping Associat-
ion to tell what their organizations
had done for the farmers and point
out why the farmers could do better
to ship their stock themselves than
to sell to an independent buyer.
w. F. McKerrow. of the University
Farm was present and he gave an
iteresting talk on organization and the
benefits of farmers shipping associa-
ton. A vote was taken of those pres
ent as to whether a shipping associa-
tion would be organized here and all
voted in favor of organizing. Seven
directors were elected and the rest of
the business of electing officers and
forming the association was left in
their hands. The directors are w. H.
O'Brien of Morris township, F. Halbe
of Framnas township; Aug. Huebner
of Darnen township; John Bengtson
of Pepperton township; John Willie
of Rendsville township and Henry
Thiemen of Swan Lake township.
Mr.. McKerrow is secretary of the
Minnesota Central Livestock Shipping
Association and is greatly interested
in organizing shipping associations
in Minnesota. He condemned the use
of olemargerine in state institutions
and said there was no substitute for
the butter made from the product of
the Minnesota Dairy COW. He said
there were now $50 livestock shipping
associations in this state and told of
the Litchfield Livestock Shipping AS
sociation which didd $11,0 900 worth OF
business the first year it was organiz-
ed and in about three years increased
so rapidly that last year it did $780,
900 worth of business. He said that
the real success of any shipping asso-
citation was in a good manager and
recommended high-priced manager
rather than cheap one. He said that
the economical way for the farmers
of this community to take their stock
to market was to organize their owl
shipping association, and said that
seventy per cent of the stock marketed
in So. St. Paul now comes thru cooper
ative shipping associations. He saiI
that few farmers knew the difference
between Gamer and cutter cows anG
} that many individual buyers will buy 1
COW for a Gamer and get a cutie
price. He stated that the averag
cost of marketing thru a cooperative
J Shipping association was 35c a cwt
while the average buyer must hav
margin Of 8Oc a cwt. Mr.. McKer
row touched on many other GOO
! points but on account limited spac
