The loss Of production is placed at

possible of even approximate measure
ment. since the whole industrial system

still paying heavily for the war. The

complete records are, however. nowhere
obtainable. All these factors. under
estimated and unsatisfactory. yield total
indirect loss to the world because Of the
war Of sl5l.6l2.542,56O.
These figures are so stupendous as to
De incomprehensible. Most Of them are
vague guesses. no matter how expert The
guesser might be. The whole Of the in
direct loss which the world has suffered
will never be known. Even yet we are
by no means finished with payment and
the future generations will continue I,
bear the burdens that five years Of con-
flict laid upon us.
II is a relief to turn from the enumera-
ton Of all this horror to a consideration
OF something that may be put in none
tary terms. The direct costs Of the war
can be estimated by deducting from the
total amount raised by the belligerents
during the war period their normal aver
age peace expenditure. This gives a to-
tai Of $l86- 1855, ,637 ,097, actually spent by
the countries engaged in prosecuting the
war. The direct cost to the Allies was
Sl2S, 500. .476, ,497; to the Central Powers.
$50, 0,645,l60 Great Britain paid s43.-
763,864, ,465, Of which only s8,708, ,74l-3I2
was met by taxation, the remainder be-
ing borrowed.
Economicisis have always argued that
the most efficient and least expensive
method Of paying for war is by taxation.
1t was impossible, however, for
this war to be financed in that way. bu
| it is probable that Crca. Britain did not,
especially in the first two years of tn,
war. raise as much in this way as sh,
should have done. England did not ex
pertinent with new taxes, but was con-
tent to raise her revenue by increasing
existing taxes, with the exception Of the
excess war profits tax, which was i novel
feature. More than half Of her entire
income came from this source and the
income tax.

Let's Have a Baseball Team

This is the sentiment of great
number of Morris people, including
the fans, young and old business men,
and good many former members of
the local teams. One doesn't have to
go far to hear somebody say, "let's
have a team"
There is plenty of baseball material
in Morris which, if strengthened pos
sibly by hired pitcher or battery,
could furnish a first-class, brand of
the national game and prove win
ner among the teams in this part of
the state. There is popular demand
for team this season and all that is
necessary is to get together, get or
ganized and get started as soon as
the weather will permit.
Practically every town, whether
large or small, is making plans to put
a baseball team in the field this COM
ing summer. Morris certainly ought
to do as well.

To Recruit Ministers

Charged with the duty of recruit
ing young men for the service of the
church as ministers or missionaries.
Rev. H. H. Symons sof Morris, has
been named county representative of
the Life Service Department of the
Inter-church Movement for Stevens
county.
The appointment was made by DR..
T. w. Graham, state representative
of the department, whose headquart-
ers are at Minneapolis. 1t will be the
task of Mr.. Symons to select likely
young men in the county who wish to
enter the service of the Protestant
church as it is now coordinated by
the Inter-church Movement Of North
America.
The Importance of Mr.. Symons'
work is readily recognized when it is
realized that all the church colleges
and seminaries now existing in the
United States are unable to fill the
places left vacant by those who fall
sick and die, or enter other business.

Der. A practical suggestion as to
how to transform an old and poorly
arranged kitchen into a modern and
beautifully convenient place of work
was given. - Emma Bold, LYDIA Lar

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
BOYS AND GIRLS WEEK
Over 200 Register for "Most Import
ant Short Course" at A. C.
School

The advance registration for Boys
and Girls Club week at the West
Central School of Agriculture prom
ises a very heavy enrolment. AL
ready more than 200 registrations
have been received from boys and
girls ofs west central Minnesota.
Many boys and girls clubs are COM
ing with practically their full mem
bership. The work will begin at
noon on Monday and close Thursday
evening. Bread baking, cake baking
and sewing contests will feature the
work for girls while pig club, calf
club, corn and poultry work will oc-
cupy the time for the boys. Special
programs of entertainment and
amusement are being planned for
each evening during the short course.
Mr.. A. J. Larson, supervisor of ath-
letics of the Agricultural School will
have charge of the boys during the
play and game periods in the after
moons. Many state and national club
leaders will come to Morris to parti-
cipate in the short course and assist
with the work. In 1919 West Gem
trail Minnesota won practically all Of
the leading prizes in Boys and Girls
Club Work and these boys and girls
participated in events at the Mime
sofa State Fair and the Live Stock
Exposition at Chicago. This splen-
did record is due largely to the or
ganization of the work in west CEN
trail Minnesota with Mr.. r. H. Giber-
son, District Club Leader, in charge
and to the thorough training which
the boys and girls receive during the
annual club week at the West Central
School Of Agriculture. Superinten-
dent P. E. Miller considers the Boys
and Girls week the most important
short course held at the School. The
facilities for housing the students
will be taxed to capacity next week
and possibly some of the boys and
girls will be placed in private homes.

RECEPTION INCLUDES
DINNER AND DANCE
High School Students Give Annual
Junior-Senior Party on
Friday

An unusually joyous affair was the
given by the Junior class of the high
school to the seniors last Friday eve
ming. The event began with a din
ner at $3.50, prepared by the junior

Will you tell me this then, I pray
Just how far must her knowledge
reach
Who teaches teachers how to teach?"

mind r
He's ahead year instead of behind
Next year at some college
He'll be seeking more knowledge
And Borden's still growing, you'll
find"

An interesting and profitable meet
ing of the Literary Club was held at
the home of Mrs. Robt. Adams on
Monday afternoon, March 29th. Sew
eral meetings have of necessity been
omitted this year, no program being
given since Jan. 18th.
The president Mrs. Beise conducted

icate with each other without the use
of any physical symbols recognized by
men," and "can disembodied spirits
communicate with spirits in the body
either with or without physical, SYM
bols." N
Mrs. Cooley followed with a fne

Browns Valley Tribune.-The mat
ter of having sleeping car service
from Browns Valley to st. Paul is
again being talked, and it is now
thought that it can be brought about.
We understand the people of Norris
and Graceville would be willing to
help bring about such a result, and
if the matter is properly presented
to the company, we believe they will
see the benefit not only to the patrons
of the road, but that the increased
traffic will more than repay the ex-
pense of carrying sleeping car.

To Entertain Glee Club

Members of the Manchester Glee
Club, which will give a concert in
Morris on April 10, are to be enter
tained at the homes of members of
the high school Glee Club, during
their stay. The first concert, on Sat
urday evening, will take place at the
Orpheum theatre, and the sacred con-

given at the Congregational church.
The high school club will give re-

cordial from the fact that at least
two of their number had spent some
time in our city and surroundings
last summer and had made many
friends. Mr.. Guthrie, the leader,
spent pert of the summer here and
frequently appeared as a soloist in
the Federated choir. Professor Hall
has done some fishing in Otter Tail
lakes and has enlivened the camp
fires by his dialect stories and songs.
So the audience was in a receptive
mood and there was no disappoint-
ment with the result. The Glee
Club put up a very strong entertain
ment which compares most favorably
with the work of the famous glee
clubs Of the eastern colleges. Their
more ambitious concerted numbers,
"The Sword of the Ferrara," " "swing
Along" and ION the Sea-" were well
done, while the true collegiate spice
and spirit were best in evidence In
their encore numbers and the group
of songs done by candle light, such
as ''In the Gloamfn'," Hush, Little
Girl, Don't Cry" Lydia Pinkham,"
''The Yodel Song" and the "Old Bri-

has a very sweet and pleasing tenor
and Mr.. Guthrie a most sympathetic
baritone. Their numbers were en-
