Vacate.

Station, which for years has occupied
a very desirable part OF Audubon
Park, fronting the Mississippi river IN

area, for which it has been paying a
rental of $500 per year. This 3D.
acre tract is valued by the board at
s5OO,O0O, and the rent paid is only
ito of l per cent Of it's value. Ihe
space is now required for park I'M
provements and for the carrying out
of the plan of development devised
by ,Olmstead Bros. Of Boston, land
scape architects, and which plans con-
sst of trees, walks, roads, buildings
and athletic grounds, and the project
ed walk and drive along the levee
which is to be incorporated in tbs

Mrs. W. I. Colver Dies

Norris friends of the Colyers were
shocked to learn the news Of the
sudden death of Mrs. Ida Colyer on
Tuesday morning of this week at
Independence, Kansas. A telegram
to this effect was received on Tues
day by Mrs. M. Vaughan, Mr..
Colyer's daughter. The message also
stated that funeral services were to
take place at Mitchell, S. D., Mrs.
Colyer's former home. Further de-
tails have not been received.
Mrs. Colyer was formerly Mrs. Ida
Loomer, and was married to Mr..
Colyer in Florida three years ago
last March. Mr.. and Mrs. Colyer
left Morris two weeks ago to take
a trip to California, where they had
expected to spend the winter, and
had stopped at independence, Kan
sas, to visit Mrs. Colyer's son, I. B.
Loomer. Another son, E. Loomer
lives at Mitchell, S. D.
Further details of the death will
probably be received in Morris with
in few days.

Herman Review:-The K. c. ban
quet, dance and motion picture show
last evening was well attended and
was first class in every particular. A
large number were present from
Norris and other nearby towns.
The evening was ideal and evident
ly the management had not over
looked single detail, for everything
was carried through to perfection
and all who attended were we'll re-
paid indeed. The ladies who pre-
pared the supper deserve special
commentator. 1t was a marvel of
the culinary art, bounteous to a de-
gree with a variety of delicious
viands that would delight any cpl
cure. Herman folks will look for
ward to the next K. G. Day.

CARNIVAL A SCREAM
FROM START TO FINISH
Receipts From Entertainment for
High School Athletic Association
Amounts to $516.O8

Total receipts from the carnival
held at the high school on Friday
evening for the benefit of the Ath-
letic Association amounted to $516.O8
and entire satisfaction to the spend
ers of the aforesaid amount.
1t might be said, that from every
point of view, the affair was a
screaming success from start to
finish. The screams we're, it is true,
bit too pronounced at times, when
they heralded the approach Of the
startingly realistic wild man, or a
sudden deluge of clinging confetti,
but quiet at carnival would be a
gross anachorism.
Three excellent programs were
given in the assembly room repre-
|senting the lower grades, the higher
grades, and the high school.
The French cafe with it's prettily
covered tables, soft lights, Emusic
while you eat," very French servants,
we'll served food, was one of the most
popular places in the building.
Clasps Of awe and surprise greeted
the sight of the marvellous animals
at the Zoo, and lew respect engend-
cred for the wonders Of biology at the
sight of two ground hogs" (wien-
ers) wallowing in grubby earth.
The country store, the white ele-
phant, and the candy booths sold out
so rapidly that their success might
be the object of envy to many mer-
chants; the roulette wheel spun mad
ly without any rest; the pan
cake booth ran out of coffee, the
refreshment stand out of pop, the ice
cream booth out of cones, and Eva
Hays, the auctioneer, out of voice.
kilograms were sent bearing mes
sages whose import might have sug-
gested visit to the mysterious for
tune-teller; and the perseverance
used by the messengers in finding the
"sendee" was indeed commendable.
Slippery Carlson wearing pair of
spectacles far enough from his eyes
to prevent them from impairing his
vision, and carrying an open UNI
brella as a protection from showers
of confetti, dragged his victims to
the Kangaroo court, to be fined for
novel misdemeanors of all kinds.
A word should be said with regard
to the parade at two o'clock in the
afternoon, featuring the salient
points of the carnival. A brown
bear who snapped his jaws in most
realistic manner, was both the terror
and delight of the youngsters, and
the entire line of march was we'll
worth seeing.

gregational church at Morris at two

During his long service in Don
nelly and vicinity as physician, DR..
Whittemore endeared himself to the
people of the community by his de-
votion to their welfare, for no storm
was ever too severe nor the roads too
bad to keep DR.. Whittemore from Civ
ing attention to his patients. He was
also always foremost in community
activities and gave literally Of his
time and money to numerous worthy
causes of community interest. Dur
ing the war he was especially active
in carrying forward the home activi-
ties which were entrusted to those
who remained at home. He was a
public spirited citizen, faithful
physician, and a true friend, and the
esteem in which he was held was
evident by the large concourse which
assembled at the funeral services on
Wednesday and with heavy hearts
paid due honor to the departed in
the last sad rites.
