SIXTY-EIVE BABIES
EXAMINED AT CLINIC
DR.. E. D. Anderson Of Minneapolis,
Finds Many Perfect" Stevens
County Babies i

Forty-one of the sixty-fve young
sters examined at the baby clinic
held at the high school under the
auspices of the Stevens County Pub
lie Health Association on Tuesday
afternoon, were pronounced "per-
fect'' by DR.. Edward Dyer Anderson
of Minneapolis, who was in charge
of the clinic.
The children were weighed and
measured by the women assisting
DR.. Anderson, and then given thoro
examination by the physician him
self.
The most prevalent defects found
were diseased tonsils> and under
nourishment.
DR.. Anderson was favorably i'm
pressed with the care which most of
the mothers were giving their babies
and stated that most of them were
following the two most important
rules in the care of infants; the most
essential of these, is that the baby
be breast-fed; the second, that it be
fed at regular intervals. cit is the,
first two years that count" says DR..
Anderson; eff the baby is cared for.
properly during that time, and
nourished properly, his chances for
living to ripe and healthy old age,
are very favorable"
When questioned as to the matter
of clothing for infants, he remarked
that the most frequent mistakes
which mothers make, is that Of.
dressing their babies too warmly; he
also warned against the use of
woolen clothing next the ychild's
tender skin, recommending either
cotton or silk instead.
Those who assisted DR.. Anderson,
were Miss Irene Labrie, county nurse,
Mrs. George Beise, Miss Elsa Kipp-
stein, Miss Bertha Wunsch, Mrs. A.
Bredesen, and the Misses Marion and
Minnie Hanson.

Debate Well Attended

The debate on the economic pro-
gram of the Nonpartisan League at
Alberta last Friday evening between
L. J. Schlattman and J. G. Morrison
was very we'll attended. The debate
was held under the auspices of the
Alberta Community Club, and from
the close attention given to the
speakers, it is easy to see that people
are intensely interested in just such
joint discussions of public questions.
Alberta is one of the most progress
sive communities in the state and
gives healthy recognition of the fact
that town and country are really one
community.
Before the debate, the Alberta
Community Band played several
selections. Prof. Grafelman presided

SEPT. %, "a, AND rs
NEW DATES FOR FAIR
More and Better Attractions Prom
ised as the Result of the Change
in Dates

The dates for the Stevens County
Fair have been changed from Sept
ember Is, 16, and II, to September
%, "a, and 25. The Fair Board de-
cided to make this change when it
was found that twenty-five surround
ing counties were holding their fairs
on these same dates. This would not
only deter many people, who would
otherwise come to the fair, from at
tending, but has made it impossible
to obtain numerous attractions on
which the Board had planned. Two
thousand postal cards notifying the
public of the change of dates, have
been sent out.
The new buildings on the fair
grounds are going up rapidly, and
the board promises a better program,
superior attractions, entertaining
side-shows, and all kinds of races.
Instead of Pom-Pom, the health
clown to appear will be Ro-Co, who
is Capt. Myers himself, the man who
trains the clowns.
And all mothers are urged to enter
the names of their babies for the
"baby show" as soon as possible. All
babies from six months to one year
are eligible.

MORRIS WOMEN 7
SAY ABOUT SUFFRAGE

Last Saturday was the day of
official rejoicing at the passing of
the federal suffrage amendment, Civ
ing to the women of the United
States, equal voting rights with the
men.
Many of the business firms of
Norris hung out their flags, and red,
white, and blue bunting, and at
noon, the whistle was blown for five
minutes, to announce the victory of
the suffrage workers.
The fight for suffrage in the I'm
tied States has been carried on for
over seventy years, beginning with
the efforts of such women as Susan
B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton, Frances Willard, Rev. Anna
Shaw, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Fifty years ago the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion, the first national suffrage Or
ganization, was organized, and the
work carried on thru the efforts of
this, and similar societies. In March,
1919, at the 5Oth Annual convention
of the Association, the League of
Women Voters was organized.
The purpose of this organization is
to urge the women of the country to
make use of their new right, and to
educate them in citizenship.
Mrs. L. C. Spooner, who is Stevens
County Chairman of the Minnesota
League of Women Voters, when asked
to give expression to her opinions re-
garding the passing of the amend
ment said:
Il rejoice with the women of the
nation that the ratification of the
Federal Suffrage Amendment has at
last been completed and 1 consider
it the personal duty of every Mime
sofa woman to cast her ballot Nov
ember End
Personally, 1 should consider the
efforts put forth to acquire woman
suffrage lost, if, as a result, we do
not gain more intelligent and re-
sponsible electorate, and thereby
maintain the ideals of our govern
ment."

PIONEER OF COUNTY
VISITS MORRIS FRIENDS
P. G. Gorden of Minneapolis De-
scribes Business Section" of
Morris in 1871

P. G.. Gorden of Minneapolis, who
was in Morris for a few days last
week to visit his cousins, o. c. Han
son, of this city, Tom Anderson, of
Scott, and Gus Kjerstad of Stevens,
can remember when there was no
house between Norris and Frog Lake,
when there were only four settlers
in the township of Scott, and when
Morris residents whom there
were few-had to go to Alexandria
for their -four.
Mr.. Gorden (whose name was
formerly spelled Gaarder) came to
this country on June %, 1871, from
Christiania, Norway, following his
father by three years, His father,
Gilbert Parker Strom, his uncle
Christ Gaarder, Hans Ole, the father
of o. G. Hanson, and Christ Eystad,
the uncle of the Christ Eystad now
living in Alberta, were the first four
settlers in the township of Scott.
Mr.. Strom homesteaded in the
NEA section 28 of Scott township,
mothers maiden name) returning to
Stevens county in 1875, after three
years absence, homesteaded in part
of the SWA, section %. He proved
UP his claim, but later left for Peli-
can Rapids in Ottertaft county, where
he was a merchant for thirty-three
years. During the last six years he
has been in the real estate business
in Minneapolis. His mother died
twenty-five years ago, and is buried
in the Frog Lake cemetery, but Mr..
Strom lived to be "a years of age.
Up to the time of his death, two years
ago, he had been making his home
with his son.
In speaking of his first impressions
of Morris in 1871, Mr.. Gorden indi-
Gated that he had had some difficulty
in locating a town at all. Il saw
just one man on the street when I
got off the train," he said, "and
when I got up to him, it was my
father, who had come down to meet
me-"
Where the Merchants Hotel now
stands, Mr.. Elmer had saloon, and
small hotel was located on the
Mullen side of the street. Even
HoImlund too, had saloon. Mel
son and Larson's store was opened
that year, and during the next year
two more shops were added-those
of Wolff and Wells, and of J. D.
Good. Mr.. Graft owned store,
which he moved in accordance with
the progress of the railroad.
The winter of 1872 brought with
it record blizzard. Going out to
care for the cattle after the storm,
presented real difficulties, as both
house and barn we're covered with
snow. The clothes line was strung
between the two, however, and they
guided themselves to the barn by
this.
Mr.. Gorden gave good proof Of the
fact that men were more willing tC
surmount obstacles which stood in
the way of obtaining work then than
they are now. In the spring Of the
year following the blizzard, he and q
friend of his we're coming from FROG
Lake to Morris to work with the rail
road construction crew. When they
came to Muddy Creek they found g
vertiable - and unbridged - river
Neither Of the men could swim but
they waded the stream, the water
reaching to their necks. And the
water was sufficiently cool, fol
blocks of ice were floating about ir
the creek.
