ALL TO HAVE PART
In BUILDING ARMORY
Finance Committee Meets With
Generous Response in Provid-
ing Funds for Armory

The Stevens County Memorial Ar
mory Finance Committee has been
soliciting funds among the business
men of the city of Norris the past
week, and has already met with en-
couraging success. Over $1,000 has
already been subscribed and the COM
mittee expects to see the amount more
than doubled. The armory will mean
so much in the way of making Nor
ris the capital of West Central Min
nesota" that everyone will want to
participate in assisting toward the
building of this beautiful edifice
which will be so useful to the COM
munity and such a fitting memorial to
the Stevens County boys who served
under the Stars and Stripes in the
World War.
The present plans are that the
foundation of the new armory will be
put in this fall, and that if the mat
erial market has become settled that
work will be continued during the
winter and employment thereby fur
nished to home folks during the
usually slack months of the winter.

DIDN'T GET ENOUGH
Defeated Non-Partisan Candidates
Will Run Again as Farmer
Labor Nominees

Henrik Shipstead and all the rest
of the Non-Partisan League nominees
who lately contended for honors in
the Republican primary, will now
put their Republicanism in cold
storage for two years, having been
named by the Non-Partisan League
gathering at Minneapolis to go on
the ticket for the November election
as the nominees of the Farmer-Lab-
or party. The candidates of the
Farmer-Labor party whom Townley
so thoughtfully filed at the last mo-
ment before the primary and who
were nominated without opposition,
will now considerably withdraw and
make way for the erstwhile defeated
Non-Partisan candidates who mas
queraded as Republicans in the prim-
aries.
The decision to run the same can
didates over again at the November
election was reached at a Non-Parti-
san League conference at Mime
apolis Wednesday after Townley had
given a 45-minute talk explaining
how it could be done. " >~ 49,

FAST MAIL TO MAKE

After tomorrow Morris citizens
may be able to get mail sent from
the Twin Cities the night before, by
supper time the next day, and they
will also have the morning papers
before evening-that is, if number
13 gets in on time-at 4:3O. Num-
Der 27, the fast mail train is to be
taken off, according to bulletin re-
ceived by Postmaster Hope, and will
make it's last trip tomorrow. It has
been transferred to the north main
line, which also fell heir to the con-
venient morning and evening trains,

Probably after a time patrons of
the local postofice may become
weaned from receiving daily mail al
together, and be content with a
weekly post. At any rate, they will
have to be satisfied with only one
mail a day on those days on which
number 13 is delayed, and it is i'm
possible to distribute it's mail de-
livery before $50.

BUYS REGISTERED Shorthorns

Chokio Review. the farmers
of Stevens county are rapidly COM
ing to the idea of raising better stock
was demonstrated this week by K.
T. Berg, one of the progressive farm
ers of Eldorado township. Mr.. Berg
just received three head of registered
Shorthorns for which he paid $1,375,
the stock coming from one of the
best herds of Shorthorn cattle in the
Northwest. Mr.. Berg also purchased
two cows from the Murphy herd at
Wheaton recently for which he paid
$3.50 and $3.50.
While Mr.. Berg has only taken the
first steps toward herd of thorough
bred cattle, he states that he will in
crease his present number as fast as
he can obtain real good ones, be-
Morris tribune., 1920-07-09

cause he believes that the very best
is none too good for our farms and
the better the stock the bigger the
returns will be to the farmer.
For a number of years Mr.. Berg
has specialized in dairying along
with his farm work, and during this
time has favored the Red Poll as the
best dairy cattle. While he still be-
lieves the Red Poll an ideal stock for
butter and milk he believe that in
the Shorthorns he will have a more
general purpose breed of stock, mas
much as they are not only good milk
ers but excellent for beef purposes.
Sometime during the early fall Mr..
Berg expects to have a sale and dis
pose of all of his Red Poll stock.
This will give many farmers who are
anxious to secure good dairy stock
a chance to buy first class milch
COWS very reasonable.
Better stock upon our Stevens
county farms is what is needed and
as rapidly as our farmers follow Mr..
Berg's footsteps and start their herds
with thoroughbred cattle, the SOON
er they will commence to prosper.

HOME OF DR.. LEUTY
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Sharp Report at 100 a. m. Sunday.
No Indication of 4th of July
Celebration

The home of DR.. Amos Leuty on
1907 Idaho Ave, was struck by light
ming on Sunday morning at 100
a. NJ, tearing down the chimney and
burning out all the electric wires.
The bolt first struck the chimney,
which was torn down completely,
then went along the corresponding
to the electric wires, and burned all
of them out. Two wires go into the
house, one from the front to light the
house, and the other from the back
to the electric range. Both were en-
tirely burned out. The roof near
the base of the chimney caught on
fire, and the plaster of the ceiling in
the bedroom occupied by DR.. and
Mrs. Leuty fell down. They awak-
ened to find that they we're able to
look thru the ceiling of their room
to the. burning roof. Mrs. Leuty
went to call the fire department, and
DR.. Leuty and Robert hurried to the
attic to fight the fire. Some Of the
furniture stored there had caught on
fire, and the house was in grave
danger. They we're able to cope with
it successfully, however, and the fire
was out by the time the engine
arrived.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Leuty miracul-
ously escaped any injury from the
the falling plaster in their room
They had planned an auto trip tC
St. Cloud for Saturday afternoon
but had been detained at the last

A Wet "4th" After All!

The subject of fourth of July cele-
brations is a somewhat delicate one
with a goodly portion of the Norris
population, since the end of per-
feet day, was in many cases anything
but a perfect end. The rain held
off just long enough for everyone to
have time to get out a precarious dis
tance from home, to attend a ball
game, or a picnic, or fishing trip.
At about the hour of five, when the
fancy began to turn lightly to
thoughts of lunch, there came a
terrific down-pour.
Parties made for home, with mem
cries of open windows egging them
on; but they found the mud of the
road waiting for them, and many
tasted the painful and humiliating
experience of being pulled out by
teams; others pulled themselves out
with a costly scattering of clothing
and a flow of un-Sabbath like Ian
guage; still others deserted their
cars, and returned ignominiously by
train. The mention of names in con-
nection with the above facts is con-
sidered inadvisable.

FROM Appleton with Ed. McElligott
last Sunday in his plane.
Mr.. Hemming drove the .McElligott

DR.. Caine had expected to return

and the passenger on the return trip
was Harry Humphries. Harry was

WALKED INTO MORRIS
A HALF CENTURY AGO
VIM. Wunsch and J. D. Good Made
Journey From Benson to Stevens
County on Foot

Autoists who experienced difficult
ties in getting in and out of Morris
on the 4th, should have taken pat
tern by the example set by VIM.
Wnusch and J. D. Good, fifty years
ago, and walked into town. Just
half century ago, on July the fourth,
these two men walked into Morris
from Benson, which was the terminal
of the st. Paul and Pacific Railway.
now known as the Great Northern.
Mr.. Wunsch was living in Dakota
| county at the time, and had started
for west central Minnesota, for the
purpose of investigating the country,
with a view to locating here. At
Willmar he met Mr.. Good who had
a homestead northeast of Morris, on
what was later known as the Light
farm. He was on his way to visit
it, and Mr.. Wunsch joined him. They
spent night at the Herrick house
in Willmar, and then rode on to Ben
son. At Benson they got off and
walked along the grade which had
been completed in preparation for an
extension of the railroad. Finally
they arrived in Morris which con-
sisted of the Engineers House, 10
Gated where Peter Gaffney's Hotel
now stands. Mr.. Morris, the engin-
eer for the railroad, who had charge
of the work, lived in this house, and
the town was later named after him.
After Mr.. Wunsch had remained at
the Good homestead for day, he
took the stage from the John Folsom
farm to Glenwood. Crossing the
Chippewa river was rather diff
cult and tedious matter, as VIM. Nc
Pherson, the driver, was first COM
PEELED to take the passengers over in
boat, next to pull the stage itself
over by rope, and then to swim the
horses across. After that the team
was hitched up again, and the party
proceeded with the trip. From Glen
wood, Mr.. Wunsch went to Alexan-
dria, where the land Office was To-
Gated, and filed for homestead
northeast of Morris.
Back to Glenwood again, Mr..
Wunsch decided that it would take
less time to walk directly back to
Benson, than to come back to the
Engineers House, and go from there,
so he started out He arrived at
Benson toward the end of the week,
and found that there would be no
train until Monday, so once more he
resorted to the most primitive means
of locomotion, and walked on to Will
mar. Not that excitement was lack
ing on any of these jaunts, for the
Indians had most uncomfortable
way of breaking out on raids at un-
expected intervals ,and it was always
unsafe to travel without gun, and
usually most advisable not to travel
at all.
While crossing the Chippewa river
into Benson, Mr.. Wunsch got into
the water up to his shoulders, and
the receivers receipt which he had
in his vest pocket still shows the
effects of the wetting it received at
that time.

Knife Only Cure For Apple Blight

Vu4y Ou4C 4O4 44pPAI O4AS4N
Heroic treatment is needed for the
apple blight which, according to
horticulturists at University Farm,
has appeared in orchards of the state
again this year. The knife, and not
the spray, must be used to stop the
blight. The apple blight, says R. s..
Macintosh of the agricultural ex-
tension, works in the inner bark Of
tthe tree and soon destroys many
twigs and branches. When the
disease gets into the trunk and large
limbs, it often causes the death Of the
tree. Spraying is not effective; "the
best we can do" adds Mr.. Mac
kintosh, els to cut off the blighted
twigs six or more inches below the
spots where the disease shows. The
knife, pruning shears or saw should
be sterilized in a solution Of bich-
loride of mercury. Cankers which
appear later should be cut out and
the wounds sterilized."
