OSTEN-SACKEN WILL
SPEAK HERE AGAIN
Famous Lecturer to Speak on 100 Per
Cent Americanism During Re-
construction Period

DR.. F. Osten-Slacken will deliver
his famous lecture on 100 per cent
Americanism during the Reconstruc-
tion Period at the Orpheum Theatre
on Tuesday evening, January 20. He
has been delivering this lecture at
various points thruout the state and
it has been received with the same
enthusiasm as were his lectures de-
livered about the state during the
war. eEI
1t will be remembered that DR..
0sten-Sacken spoke on the street In
Morris and at a few places around
the county during October, 1918, and
that it was the universal verdict that
his lecture defined the ISSUES OF the
war in terms Of pure Americanism
more clearly that any other address
given during the whole war period,
The people of this community will
be pleased with an opportunity to
hear DR.. Osten-Sacken again. It is
expected if the weather is favorable
that there will be many visitors from
the surrounding towns and country.

SUPPLY OF SUGAR
UNIFORMLY LOW
No Immediate Relief in Sight, But
Hopes Are Placed in Shipments
From Sugar Refneries in West

Little encouragement can be given
to Norris housewives with regard to
the sugar situation. The condition
is uniformly bad thruout the country,
and trade reports to local merchants
warn that it will probably be Feb
ruary before any one is able to ac-
cumulate a surplus of sugar"
They state further that during
the next two or three weeks we can
make no promises for supplies of
sugar and we will have to ask our
customers to have consideration. We
will get sugar wherever it is possi-
BILE to obtain it and will distribute
what we do get as fairly as possible,
but we are quite sure that we will
be unable to get sufficient supplies
to satisfy the trade"
Any sugar supply that is available
at present is marketed at such high
figure that it is necessary for the re-
taller to ask from twenty-five to
twenty-five cents for it. How long
these conditions will obtain no one
seems able to predict with certainty;
the most cheering report, however,
states that there are, however, lib
eral shipments on the way from Col
orado and there should be a gradual
improvement in supplies from now
on. The C. & H. and Western cane
refiners have now opened up and
shipments from these refiners will
soon be on the way for this market" "

Is Victim of Curious Misfortune

1t was a strangely unfortunate
accident which caused Mrs. Olaf
Killing of DonneIly to break her right
hip at the joint when she fell on the
ice, while walking in the yard of
her home, last Saturday.
Just four years ago Mrs. Killing had
been in an auto accident; the mach
inc was anew one; so was the
chauffeur; and when he lost control
of the car, and the brakes refused to
work, Mrs. King jumped from the
running board, and in falling, broke
her left hip.
She was confined to her bed for
many months as a result of the ac-
cident, and suffered from the effects
of. the injury for a long time so that
the new misfortune is a most ag-
gravating continuance of the first
one.

A decided boost was given the
National Guard company of Morris
by the selection of it's captain G. L.

five from the fifth regiment. The
men will receive pay amounting to
approximately $275 a month.
II do not like to leave the COM
pany at this time, when there is SO
much work which I should like to
see completed, nevertheless feel that
it is an opportunity to further quail
fly myself for my work which I can
not afford to miss" says Mr.. Voss.
He added that he was confident that
the company would be in excellent
hands when placed under the com
maAd of Lieutenant e. o. Wells.
The studio here will be in charge of
Mr.. Voss' sister, Miss Pearl voss, who
has charge of the Glenwood studio
at present, and is recognized as an

party was given by the employees
of the telephone company here for
I. M. Sorlie the former manager, who
left on Tuesday to take a position
as special agent in the St. Cloud dis
trict. Refreshments we're served,

advancement in his work, which his
new position represents.

ONE-ARMED WRESTLER
AT ORPHEUM, FEB. 2
First Athletic Program Of Company
to Feature VIM. Deistler VS..
Ed. Asmus

The first athletic program to be
given by Company K will be held at
the Orpheum on February End. The
program will consist of boxing
matches and wrestling matches. The
main event of the evening will be a
wrestling match between Private
Wm. Deist1er of Company K and Ed.
Asmus of Chokio, a one-armed
wrestling marvel. The .Chokio wrest-
Ter outweighs the champion of Com
pany K by forty pounds, and this
advantage in weight ought to affect
the speed of Private Deistler. This
ought to make very even contest.
Those who have never seen a one
armed wrestler perform can take ad-
vantage of the opportunity on Feb
ruary End of finding out how it can
-. done.
With the exception of the oppon-
ent for Private Deistler all the other
talent will be local talent. The rest
of the program is not yet arranged
but the announcement will be given
next week.

ances, and with one common name.
The various organizations now in ex-
istence will be retained as depart
ments, and will keep their present
names-the new all-inclusive name
has not been decided upon as yet.
At the regular annual meeting of
the Ladies' Aid held at the home of
Mrs. J. A. Ringness on Wednesday
afternoon, a report of last years
work was given, and the activities
for the coming year planned. 1t was
decided to hold the annual church
meeting and supper on Thursday,
January IS, at six o'clock at the
church The work of the year just
completed has been unusually profit
able both socially and financially,
the amount in the treasury having
been exceeded only once during the
last eighteen years. This in addi-
tion to the fact that the contribu-
ton toward church expenses was
larger than ever before. 1t was voted
to increase it still more next year,
and the work of the pastor, Rev.
Symons, was heartily endorsed by all
the members.
Election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, Mrs. Robert
Tressler, Vice-President, Mrs. F. A.

NORTHWEST FARM
LAND IS FAVORED
Iowa Buyer Sees Opportunity in
Minnesota Agricultural In
vestmentS

st. Paul Pioneer Press.-Farm land
in the Northwest, and in Minnesota
particularly, because of the greater
development of communications in
this state, is the most attractive to
homeseekers in the country, accord
ing to Benjamin L. Fisher, retired
farmer of Des Moines, Iowa, who con-
cluded business visit to st. Paul
yesterday and started for North Oak
ota to inspect land he is considering
as an investment.
In Mr.. Fishers opinion a large
number of farmers seeking new loca-
tions are going to come to this state
and to the Dakotas, from Iowa and
other states in that belt, where land
prices have reached a point that
makes purchase almost prohibitive to
any but wealthy men.
Former renters and farmers sons
who want to strike out for them
selves find, according to him, that
they must pay as high as $500 an
acre, there, and that in so doing
they will face lifetime of debt, and
perhaps have a rundown farm on
their hands when the mortgage is
paid off.
According to Mr.. Fisher there is no
cheap land left. That which sells
cheaply usually is cheap when pro-
duction is considered, he said. New
corners must expect to pay a fair
price for land, he believes, but he
holds that the man seeking a start is
going to the country which offers
him sufficient acreage at a price he
can pay in a reasonable time.
"I find that some Iowa land has
reached the $500 mark" Mr.. Fisher
said. "Such land may be worth
every cent asked for it, but it offers
nothing to the man who is seeking
home. I don't know that specula-
tors have put the prices where they
are in that state, but I do know Of
land there that is held around $500
an acre which never has produced
enough to warrant such a price"
Mr.. Fisher explained that he still
owns considerable farm land in Iowa,
but has hesitated to invest further
there for the reason that he believes
the peak in prices has been reached.
| There are a number of tracts in the
Southern part of this state that he
, is considering as investments. He be-
lieves that land in Minnesota and the
Dakotas is bound to see increased de-
mand and higher values shortly.

Last Friday evening at the H. S.

ball team took the fast Starbuck
basket ball team into camp by a
score of % to 16. This was the first
game of the Co. K team at home with
an out-of-town team and the show
ing the boys made is extremely
gratifying to the local enthusiasts.
The boys all played an excellent

will be able to put up game that will
win from any team in this section of
the state.

eighty-four last year. It is interest
