Charming New Sports Hats

To say that they are "dressy'
sports hats sounds rather paradox
cal, but that is just what some Of
them are-hats for informal wear,
but bit more elaborate than the
usual simple sports models.
There are coarse weave straws,
for instance, embroidered in bright
bued wools-one rather Napo-
eonic in shape, and of soft brown
with orange wool embroidery, is
about the most striking of the col
lection.
And there are hats of glistening
satins with unusual designs in
color, or hats of new Spring silks
with embroidery of colored or jet
beads. Ribbon hats, too, are among
the pretty new shapes, as we'll as
hats which turn up in the front and
at the sides and are made of sports
silks.
Somewhat daintier are the hats
of fine horsehair braids, and hats

MORRIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Extensive preparations are being
made for the carnival, which will
be held in the High School building,
November 18th. The proceeds from
the carnival will be used for the
equipment for the gymnasium and
we hope everyone will set aside Fri
day, November 18th as the date for
a big time. Watch this column for
the latest reports concerning the big
event!
Saturday evening, the gymnasium
was the scene of an automobile party,
which was given by the Girls Glee
Club. Many appropriate games were
played and various races were held,
the most important of which was won
by Royal Lime and his White Car
(kiddie carr. Light refreshments
were served, then after several selec-
lions by the>Glee Club, the guests de-
parted with the hopes that they
might at some future date, attend
another "auto" party.

bly, talks, given by the people of

mines, lands and timber, he has made
careful, intelligent and conscientious
service.
He is yet young man. Neverthe-
less, he will bring to the governorship
a breadth of vision acquired by long
and extensive administration Of the
states affairs. Mr.. Preus is declared
by many to know more about Mime
sofa and her needs than any other
man.
J. A. o. Preus is splendid type
Of American young man. He has
worked his way up because he has
ability, courage and honesty. He in
spires confidence wherever he makes
acquaintance and this accounts for
the remarkable personal following he
has all over Minnesota In the state
convention he was not nominated by
the votes from any one section Of Min
nesota, but he drew votes from every
section. There was hardly a county
that did not give him some votes.
Southern Minnesota supported him as
strongly as northern Minnesota.
That the farmers will have friend
| if Mr.. Preus is elected is evidenced
by the fact that he has issued a state
ment calling upon them to draft a COM
plete program Of their needs in the
way of legislation, to be submitted to
the next legislature. The statement
declared that agriculture, the greatest
single industry, is now the uppermost
question in the public mind and that
the time is ripe for the enactment Of
such legislation as will place agricul-
ture in it's proper relation to other In
dustries.

At Today's Luncheon

The Bankers Day Luncheon of
the Chamber of Commerce was the
largest attended and one of the best
meetings in the history of the or
ganization. Short talks were made
by Major D. J. Burchett, B. Frank
Perry, W. L. fitzpatrick, ]. Fl. Con-
ner, Capt. c. Fl. Petry and R. G..
Kern.
Fifty-nine men were present to-
day-57 members and two visitors.
We do not know whether this large
attendance was through regards for
the bankers or through fear of the
bankers.
Several important matters, includ-
ing the railroad rate question and
highways, were discussed and plans
made for future action.
The Chamber of Commerce is
growing steadily and promises to be
the most important agent for the
development and advancement of Mt.
Sterling and Montgomery county. If
you are not a member of this live
organization we would suggest that
you "sign on the dotted line" of the
membership card and get in with the
bunch of good fellows for the bet
terment of Mt. Sterling and Mont
gomery county.
The luncheon, prepared and served
by the ladies of the Country Club,
was, like the attendance, the largest
and the best.

Tobacco Men Do Not
Fear Too Low Price

At meeting of hurley tobacco
gorwers, held in Lexington Tuesday
the concensus Of opinion was that
there would be no disposition on the
part of the big manufacturers to
obtain the 1920 crop "for song"
as some Of the growers seemed to
fear, as evidences of a light crop
throughout the hurley belt continue
to come in from all parts Of the
hurley district.
The opinion was freely expressed
at the meeting that the present crop
would be one of the hghtest per acre
ever grown, and it was decided 70
make thorough canvass of the dis
trict and ascertain how many
pounds the growers actually have
on hand.
1t was also thought wise by a ma
jority of those present to hold back
common grades and only offer weed
of the better quality over the brakes
at the opening of the market. The
outlook taken was a very optimistic
one and it was freely predicted by a
number of large growers that the
better grades of the weed would
command a good price. Just what.
disposition to make of the inferior
grades has not yet been decided on.
For a further account of the meeting
see article on another page of this
issue.

Gas Company Must Pay
For Frozen Flowers

Holding that the Central Ken
lucky Natural Gas Company is Ii
able in damages to A. j. Humph-
reys, a florist Of this city, for
failure to furnish gas to prevent his
flowers from freezing, the appellate
court at Frankfort Tuesday handed
down the most far-reaching opinion
on breach Of contract cases in many
months. The court said that there is
a .dearth of authority covering this
line of cases, which is entirely new
in this state.
Humphreys conducts a florist es-.
Establishment in Mt. Sterling. Temper
allure as high as thirty-six degrees is
required to protect the flowers from
freezing. During the winter of 1918
the company failed to furnish Mr..
Humphreys with the required gas,
and his flowers froze and were de-
stroyed. He sued for damages Of
$40, claiming that to be his loss,
and the lower court dismissed the
petition. The appellate court, how
ever, reversed the lower court, hold
ing that he has cause of action.
81 the absence Of an express con-
tract of this character" says the
court, 1--WE think the company may
be made liable in an action for dam
ages at the instance of any custo-
mer who has suffered loss through
its negligence or failure to fulfill the
obligations implicitly assumed by its
solicitation and acceptance of the
franchise contract with the city
under which it acquired the right to
and did use the streets for the pur-
pose of supplying the city and its
people with gas for heating pur-
poses"
The court says that if the terms of
the contract are expressed in the
franchise then the case would be
governed by the terms of the con-
tract, but where there is an absence
of an express contract "the law will
raise an implied and enforceable
contract to take the place Of the
omitted express contract and impose
on the company the obligations to
render service that was reasonable.
