Eruptions of the Skin
Cause Torturous Itching

This explains why disappointment
comes from the use Of lotions. salves,
ointments. and other local remedies.
S. S. 5. has given great satisfaction
in the treatment of these disorders, be-
cause it is such a thoroughly satisfac-
tory blood purifier. 1t cleanses the
blood of all impurities. and thus
counteracts the effects of the germs
that attack the skin.

BEATLASKER PLAN
Minor League MagnatesHat X. c.
Against New Rule.
Western and SThree Eye" Solid
Against Insurgents.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. S.-"The
Lasker plan will suffer a far more ig-
nominious defeat than the Democrats
in the late election, said President AL
Tearney of the Western league here
today, prior to calling to order the an
nual session of that organization. The
meeting was closed to the public.
1.-The Western and Three Eye
leagues of which I am the head will
vote solidly against the plan of the
ele1 en- crusaders. said Tearney. ST
am certain the roll call will bear me
out in this prediction. The proposed
policy of reorganizationNwill do well to
get three votes from the entire minor
assemblage."
Tearney declared he favored cen
baseball but added that any tribunal
that does not give the minors an equal
voice in control of its affairs would be
ignored by the two leagues over which
he presides. Tearney favors board
of three members, two representing
the majors and one the minors.
More than 100 delegates to the
meeting of the National Association of
Minor leagues had arrived here short
ly before noon, among them President
Hickey of the American association.
Doak Roberts, newly elected pres1-
dent of the Texas league, hea ding a
delegation of eighteen Texas leaguers,
announced a plan which was expected
to be presented to the western league
meeting today to combat gambling.
Roberts announced a resolution
against gambling would be submitted
to the Texas legislature for action
prior to the opening of the 1921 base
ball season, for enactment of laws
which would make bribery or at
tempted bribery of players or umpires
or betting on games felony.
The Texas plan," if adopted, pro-
badly would result in similar action
being urged upon other state legisla-
lures, baseball men said.

missed their train at Willmar. They

were unable to get a car which would
take them thru the storm.
P. e. Miller, chairman of the Ly-
ceum was wired. Several Of the men
in town we're asked to help call up
the homes in town to tell them that
there would be no concert, and

work were F. A. Hancock, A. J.
Giesen, Rev. H. W. Seifert, Rev. H.

Sold

The stock and fixtures of the gro
Gerry department of the Weum-Bel-
verud Store have been purchased by
G. M. Bagstad, who is now proprietor
of the Cash and Carry Store in the
La Grand Hotel Building. The deal
was closed on Wednesday afternoon
of this week, and Mr.. Bagstad will
take possession shortly after the first
of the year. Mr.. Bagstad became
owner of the Cash and Garry Store
three months ago. He came to Nor
ris last spring from farm near AL
berta. He states that he will carry
on the business in the new location
on practically the same basis as that
on which it has been run in the past.
and that groceries will be delivered
as heretofore.
Mr.. Belverud has not yet decided
on a new location. He came to Nor
ris three years ago from Benson, and
before coming to Minnesota he had
been in business in North Dakota for
a number of years. He began busi-
ness in Morris on very small scale,
but thru his excellent service has in
creased both his stock and his list Of
customers very materially.

Library Receives Old Document

An old document, bearing the sig
nature of one of the most vigorous
and well-known leaders of the fam
Gus Boston Tea Party, Thomas Mel
will, has been received by the Morris
Public Library, thru the courtesy of
Royal A. Stone of st. Paul.
The document itself is a custom
house certificate, bearing the title,
certificate of 33 Boxes of Brown
Sugar exported from Boston," on
July IA, 1917.
The sugar was imported from
Havana by one William Gray, was
taken to Marbelhead, from there to
Boston, and from Boston exported to
Europe. There we're 12,301 pounds
of merchandise and it was valued at
8 cents pound. Two and one-half
per cent or 1928 was taken off, max
ing the net value, $359.8O.
The paper is wonderfully preserved
and not even torn or creased thru at
the folds, and the ink scarcely faded.
References to the Schooners Spring
Bird" and "VoIante," and the
"Brigotine Ruthy" and the quaint
ness of the wording, smack somewhat
more of romantic old tale, than of
prosaic business document. In
view of the fact that there is in the
old State House Boston a special
collection of "Melvill" relics, Morris
people may feel that they have Sc
cured a relic of recognized historical
value.

Mr.. Carnegie the gift of the library
building and has never lost his in
terest in the Norris Library but has
made several other notable donations.

'ORIGINAL IDIOT" HAS
FOUR DEPENDENTS
Bishop Mitchell Gives Graphic De-
sc1iption Of Modern Examples of
Unsociable EgOtist

In his lecture on "The Original
Idiot" on Saturday evening" Bishop
Charles Bayard Mitchell of st. Paul
described what he was pleased to call
the "lineal descendants Of the orr
ginal idiot" The original idiot was
the Greek citizen who refused to take
part in any affairs of the state, who
lived to himself and for himself.
First among his decendents, said
the Bishop, is the ultra-domestic man
who stays at home every evening,
and, don't belong to nothing" Sec.
ond, is the very successful business
man, who will give none of his
wealth to help anyone else third, is
the sectarian church member, who
sees the only route to salvation
through his own church; and fourth,
is the "anti-imperialist, who, it
appears, is to be found only in
America. Bishop Mitchell held that
the warning of George Washington
in which he admonished the United
States to keep out of all European
the weak, new Republic. We have
become identified with world affairs
NV, he declared, and must continue to
be so identified. The Bishop stated
that he knew that many in the aud
ience would not agree with him, but
that it was his opinion that the op-
posers of the League of Nations were
a group Of "pin-headed politicians"
that it was a disgrace that the I'm
tied States was unrepresented at the
meeting at Geneva, and that we
must take up the white mans bur
den," and make our fine contribu-
tion to the world"
Bishop Mitchell's talks easily and
we'll, and is an excellent entertainer.
His address was we'll organized and
developed, and he kept the interest
of his audience throughout.
On Sunday morning Bishop Nit
chell supplied the pulpit in the
Methodist church, using for his
theme, "The Impartiality of God"
and in the evening, "Jesus Christ as
the Reconciler of the Human Race to
God"
On Saturday evening, eighteen
members of the Commercial Club
were present at a dinner given in
compliment to the Bishop in the Blue
Room of the Merchants Hotel.
