Oldest Grain Man Retires

From the Fargo Forum of Tues
day, we note that w. H. Comrie has
retired from the grain business, after
holding the record of being the old
est grain man in North Dakota. Mr.
Comrie came to Morris in 1875 with
Chas. Wilson, who operated a gen
eral store in the building just north
of the Danielson store. Mr.. Comrie
clerked for Mr.. Wilson until 1873
when he went into the elevator busi-
ness with George Munro, subsequent
ly sheriff of the county for many
terms. The Fargo Forum has the
following notice Of Mr.. Comrie's re-
tirement:
"W. H. Comrie, one of the Oldest
grain men in the state in the number
of years in the business, has retired
Mr.. Comrie started at Morris, Mimi,
in 1873 with the first line elevator
company in the Northwest, the st.
Paul & Pacific Elevator company.
controlled by the railroad of that
name, and which afterwards became
part of the Great Northern system.
''In 1882 he was induced by G.. S.
Barnes, of the Northern Pacific Ele-
vator company, to come to Fargo and
work for them. For a short time he
was in their elevator located on the
bank Of the Red river near the Fargo
mill. In September, 1882, he was
sent to Arthur, N. D., to take charge
of their elevator In 1898 he moved

SteUens Was the Banner County
in Boys and Girls Club Work

'"The banner county of the state in
Boys and Girls club work. is the
title which has been conferred upon
Stevens county, and review of the
work done along these lines during
the past year will convince anyone
that it has been applied with good
reason.
Early in the year, the Executive
Committee of the Farm Bureau, real
izing the Importance of Boys and
Girls Club Work, decided to make it
one of the main projects of the years
work.
The territory worked was limited
to six townships having farmers
clubs willing to take some respon-
sibility in backing the work, and to
the pupils of the village schools and
Morris.
The schools in the townships were
visited to explain the work to the
pupils and to get them interested,
the work was explained at the farm
ers' club meeting and to leaders in
the communities, bankers were visit
ed to get them to act as community
leaders on some phase of club work
and to make contributions for prizes,
and superintendents of the village
schools were visited to secure their
leadership in such work in their
schools and communities.
The Farm Bureau manager concen-
-trated his efforts chiefly with the
baby beef, pig, and acre corn con-
tests, while the follow-up work in
garden, canning, and bread baking
projects was left to the school sup
erintendents and Mr.. r. H. Giberson,
District Club Leader of West Central
Minnesota. Mr.. Giberson also as
sisted very materially in organizing
club work in the county and in visit
ing club members.
Seven dollars of each, the first,
second, and third prizes offered at
the village fairs for the baby beef,

Takes More Than Census

Peter Peterson, census man Of
Morris, has surprised himself by his
ability to pick up more than data
on his rounds in the second ward.
He states that he started out in the
morning with two fountain pens in
his pocket, and returned at night
with four. They keep right on being
four, too, so he feels sure it is not
a mere vision. Mr.. Peterson has
evidently developed such an inter
esting cline" of talk, that he can
gather up the belongings of the en-
thralled listener while the converse
tion goes on. At least that is the
only way he can explain it. And
now he is wondering whether the
owners of the pens were not aware of
his actions all the time, and too kind
to mention it. At any rate, he in
vites all missers of fountain pens in
the second ward to call him up, and
identify their property.

DEISTLER AND AKER
TO MEET MONDAY
Local Wrestler to Match Skill With
Champion of South Dakota on
Orpheum Stage

Much interest is being evinced in
the wrestling bout to take place at
the Orpheum on Monday, February
2, under the auspices of Co. X Ath-
letic Association. The fact that one
of the participants, Private William
Deistler, is local man, and a men,
ber of Company X, serves to make
the match matter of real home in
terest, while the fact that he is to
meet with an opponent of the wide
reputation of Emil Aker, welter
weight champion of South Dakota,
raised it to the level of real pro-
fessional bout.
Preliminary boxing matches will
be staged by Earl Smith versus Ed.
Sherven, middle weights, Ben Deistler
versus Earl Seamans, heavy weights,
and John r. Foster versus Mark
Farwell, welter weights. And of no
small Importance will be the match
between two novices, whose names
have not been disclosed.
The seats are selling fast, and the
prospects are that there will be a
full house. Men of Co. X, and busi-
ness men about town are selling
tickets, and reservations are made at
Krueger's drug store. -as--~-r--z- .,-. .~-4.-s.

and canning clubs, and who exhibit

clubs of the villages also offered good
prizes for exhibits at their village

ON TUESDAY, FEB. 10
Morris Commercial Club Committee
Are Planning Popular Community
Gathering

The annual party of the Morris
Commercial Club has always been a
unique and popular gathering be-
cause it is the one gathering of all
of the people of Morris-everyone is
not only welcome but is expected to
be present and become acquainted
with the other good people of Morris.

Norris is his or her invitation. The
program is always arranged to suit
all tastes.

Dushek, N. Vinje and F. A. Hancock
have decided on Tuesday evening,

ular orchestra of Anton Watzke and
family have been engaged for the

program during the early part of the

and minors, educational qualifications
for the franchise, salaries based, not

of the measures which the new vot-
ers will include in their demands.

Wins One Game. Loses Another

The game played by the Walter
Trip Post basket ball team with the
Wahpeton Science palyers last Fri
day resulted in a score of 81 to 4,
in favor of the local team. 1t re-
suited also in a broken nose for Jack
Ortman, and generally unfit condi-
tion of the team for the game with
the Wahpeton city team on the next
evening. The game was played at
Wahpeton and the opponents were
a team of ex-collegiate and Univers-
sity stars; the players were big and
fast, and won a victory over the local
team with a score Of "a to IA. When
one considers that three of the regu-
lars, Ortman, Larson, and R. SIR,
were missing from the Morris line,
it will be granted that the losing
team put up an excellent showing.

Influenza in Morris

The experience of last year has
. made everyone shudder apprehensive-
ly at the mention of epidemic. Re-
ports from other cities regarding the
temperance of influenza are not
encouraging, and it is not to be
doubted that danger of a re-occur-
renee in Morris is not impossible.
Doctors report many cases of ton
silitis and la grippe, and a few cases
of diphtheria and scarlet fever. While

every winter demands it's quota of
illness during the months of Janu-

fuenza shows that it appears two

ing out this statement.

of the last few days will aid in ward
ing the danger of repetition of con-
ditions such as prevailed last year.
