Fast Game Last Friday.

The Morris High School basket
ball teams have played some fast
games lately. Friday evening Of last
week both the girls team and the
boys team of Benson were here and
a big crowd was at the school gym
nasium to witness two of the snap
piest games of basket ball ever played
in Morris. The girls played first and
at the end of the first half the score
was a tie, to g. The Benson girls
won with a score 18 to 10 when the
whistle was blown. The Benson girls
had little advantage, as they were
considerably taller and a trif1e heav-
ier. The boys of Morris were ahead
at the end of the first half by a score
of IL to 8. When the game finished
the Benson boys had won with a score
Of 19 to %, having worked hard for
every point they got. The Benson
boys team far outweighed the Morris
boys, but the Norris players surprised
everybody by the way they held their
own.

Minnesota's cheapest livestock feed
is emphasized in the new Farmers
Institute Annual, of which 100000
copies have recently come from the
press. The feeds referred to are
pasture, hay, and other forage crops.
Because these feeds are cheapest and
Minnesota can prodnce them in
abundance, A. D. Wilson, director of
Minnesota farmers Institutes and the
agricultural extension division Of the
University Of Minnesota, has given
the new issue Of the annual the sub
title, "Meadows, Pastures and Forage
Crops" Copies of the annual may be

MAKING PLANS FOR
FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
F. A. Hancock, Chairman of Stevens
County, Attends Meeting In Twin
Cities.

A meeting of all of Minnesota's
county Liberty Loan chairman was
held in Minneapolis on Tuesday Of
this week to discuss the problems Of
the Fifth or "Victory'' Liberty Loan
campaign. F. A. Hancock, chair
man for this county was present and
eighty counties of the state were re,
presented. AS result Of the confer
ence the men returned home ready
to put over their part of the big job
and imbued with new spirit of en-
thusiastic optimism.
In opening the meeting chairman
Rogers outlined the necessity for the
coming loan and predicted that it
would probably be for $6,OO0,O00,-
600.
"And now all we are asked to do is
to pay the bills-to finish the job"
said Mr.. Rogers. "This last loan to
our government ought to be con-
sidered as an opportunity. 1t is so
much less than any of us had any
right to expect it would be, it is so
insignificant in comparison to the
saving Of the lives of our brave men
that believe that when we all under
stand it we will consider this Fifth
Liberty Loan not only the victory
loan, but the loan of thankfulness.
The Rev. G.. Bennett of St. PauPs
church made stirring address on
Americanism. He paid a glowing
tribute to the members of the Ninth
district organization and pictured
the Fifth Liberty Loan as the test
of Americas "peace-time patriotism"
Theodore Void, governor of the
Ninth District Federal Reserve bank,
said that in spite of having bought
nearly three-quarters of a billion
dollars worth of Liberty Bonds dur
ing the last 20 months the people Of
this district had increased their bank
resources over 100000 during
the same period. He said that for
the Fourth loan the federal bank had
loaned $95,00O,0O0 to banks of the
district and within six weeks there
after the amount had been liquidated
down to only $6,00O,O00.
"The money is here" said Mr..
Void. "The more we loan and give
the more we have. I can't believe
that there is a question of doubt
but that the people of the Ninth dis
trict will do whatever is asked Of
them in the coming loan gladly,
willingly and promptly"
Tn al iO11rnino tho mantinp and
sending the chairmen back home to
begin the real work of the cam
paign, Chairman Rogers expressed
his appreciation of the magnificent
support given to the central organi-
zation and said he believed tEat all
of those connected with the Liberty
Loan work had won for themselves
a satisfaction and pleasure not to
be had in any other way.

LYCEUM COURSE WILL
CLOSE NEXT THURSDAY
Montaville Flowers Will Give Talk
On World Problems At Orpheum
Theatre.

The closing number of the Morris
Lyceum Course will be given Thurs
day evening of next week, February
27. This will be a lecture by Monta-
vile Flowers, speaker who has ap-
peared here several times before and
one Morris business man made the
statement few weegs ago that this
number would, in his opinion, be
worth the price of the full season
ticket.
Before the war began, Montaville
Flowers was a recognized authority
on subjects of world interest His
preparation in college and his studies
for quarter of a century have been
in history, politics and the details Of
international affairs.
In 1915 his lecture, Rebuilding
The Temple" which is a study of the
reconstruction of civilization after
the war, was pronounced by very
distinguished publicists as the most
complete presentation of the whole
case of the world war that has been
put into a single address. He was
the first American to declare "a true
nation must be one in language"
The proposition was then harshly
attacked, but is now generally ac-
cepted.
"The Case OF Germany" followed
this and is masterpiece of organi-
zed fact and argument. This address
fret 1n1i
Northwest Loyalty Meetings, held in
st. Paul and Minneapolis in the fall
of 1917, at which time he gave ad
dresses in company with T. P. O'Con-
ner of England, Capt. Perigord of
France, and Otto H. Kahn of New
York City, under the recommends
tion of the Committee of Public
Information. Everywhere this address
has produced profound impression
even amidst the vast amount of
material, printed and spoken, upon
the general subject of the war.
'"The Case of Germany is his ad-
dress of the hour, which will be
succeeded by other addresses as the
great problems of the world are
developed. Mr.. Flowers reserves the
privilege of offering new addresses to
meet these problems as they come
even tho the older titles have been
announced.
Montaville Flowers addresses are
like cathedrals they have great
plan, impressive structure, perfec-
tion in detail, instrinsic value and
noble purpose. One has said that
they are not lectures, but "institu-
tions." They have style, unity,
grasp and completeness. Their ef-
feet remains in the soul of the hearer
long after both speaker and speech
have become dim in the memory.
Mr.. Flowers is a distinct person
ality in American life, a fast ex-
panding force in American affairs.
He deals only with fundamental and
essential things, and has the re-
markable power of stating most
difficult general propositions with
crystalline clearness, and he sup
ports them with comprehensive ar
ray of facts of vital interest, driving
home with them powerful impulses
to noble deeds.

Pure-Bred Sires Prove Their Worth

Wisconsin dairymen' and farmers,
desirous of increasing their profits
and adding still greater honors to
their already famous dairy state,
have joined in a Statewide cam
paign to eliminate the scrub bull and
use only pure-bred sires. The re-
cord made last year in the Brown
County Contrasting Association typi-
fies the merits of pure-bred bulls and
illustrates why farmers and dairy
men will not tolerate the scrub. In
this association IL COWS qualified for
the register of production. All of
these COWS were daughters of pure
bred sires, six of them being daugh-
ters of one sire. The five best herds
in the association are headed by pure
bred sires, while the five poorest
herds are all headed by grade or
scrub sires. The herds of those far
mers who used pure-bred sires aver
aged IS pounds more fat cow than
those using grades or scrubs. Last
year eight of the members purchased
pure-bred sires of known breeding
to replace their scrubs.

MORRIS TALENT WILL
GIVE COMEDY-FARCE
''Mrs, Temples Telegram" Will Be
Presented At Orpheum, Monday,
March 3.

A few weeks ago a local dramatic
company was organized in Morris
for the purpose of presenting a play
for the benefit of the Fatherless
Children of France Society, the
money to be used to help support
some of the orphan children of
France A three-act farce, entitled,
"Mrs. Temples Telegram" has been
selected and the date of it's presen-
tation will be Monday evening,
March 3, at the Orpheum Theatre.
"Mrs. Temples Telegram" has
been seen on the metropolitan stage
by many residents of this city, ard
they pronounce it scream" and a
comedy-farce that elicits q great
deal of laughter during the three
acts. The play will be presented in
Morris by an exceptionally strong
home talent cast, which is sure to
carry it to success.
The members of the cast are Mrs,
C. L. Voss, Mrs. VIM. Frame, Mrs. W.
Cherry Mrs S. J. Stebbins, G. L.Voss,
Douglas Bailey, M. Dane, E. w. Nobbs
and Frank Harris. The natural
dramatic talent of several of the
above has won the plaudits of Nor
ris audiences in previous plays, and
as the coming theatrical will be
given under the capable direction of
Mrs. Chas. Lee and Mrs. P. l.,
Spooner it is sure to have a profess
sional tinge. The play was original
ly introduced in New York City at
the Madison Square Theatre, and in
order to get it at Morris 1T was
necessary to secure the rights and
pay royalty, and this has been ar
ranged by Miss Agnes Torpey.
The scene of the play is laid in the
drawing room of the home ofJMr. and
Mrs. Jack Temple. The first act
= takes place in the morning, the Sc
cond act in the afternoon of the same
day and the third act the evening Of
the same day. Mr.. Temple had gone
out the evening before to visit the
Exhibition and during his sight
seeing he went up in a Ferris Wheel.
The machinery got out of order and
he was stuck up in the clouds all
night, with one other occupant in
the car, a strange lady. On arriving
home in the morning he knew his
wife would never believe his story
and would claim it was only an ex-
cuse to explain his absence, so he
hurriedly made up another story and
said he visited with friend in the
country and an accident on the troll
ley line kept the cars from running SO
he was forced to remain all night.
Mrs. Temple demanded the name OF
his friend, and in order to find out
whether or not her husband was
telling the truth, sent a telegram to
the name he gave her asking the man
to call at once. The name Mr.. Tenn
pie gave and the address was one he
made up in his mind, never sus-
pect1ng that his wife would look into
the matter. He saw that he was in
for it so arranged for friend of his,
Mr.. Fuller, to assume the role Of
Mr.. Brown, who was the man
supposed to get the telegram. Things
