MAY 28 IS SET FOR
POPPY DAY In MORRIS
Woman's Auxiliary of American
Legion to Sell Poppies for
Disabled Men

The Woman's Auxiliary of Walter
Legion has set May % for Poppy
Day in Morris. On that day all the
people of Morris will be asked to buy
poppies to wear on memorial day in
memory of the men who gave their
lives in. the world war.
The receipts of the poppy drive
will be used to help in the care of the
disabled men in Minneapolis and St.
Paul who are badly in need of as
sistance according to Mrs. Otto
Huxmann, chairman of the Poppy
Day scommittee. High school girls
dressed in white with baskets full
of poppies will sell flowers from the
street corners that day. Many of the
merchants have already sent in or
ders for banquets of poppies to dis
play in their windows.
The red poppy is known as the
memory flower, and is the Official
flower of the American Expeditionary
Forces. Lieutenant J. D. McCrea's
poem "In Flanders Fields is said tt
be partially responsible for the new
| significance of the flower. The first
stanza is as follows:
''In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row
That mark our place; and in the
sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago.
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunse
glow,
Loved and were loved, and now w.
lie
In Flanders fields"

COMMITTEE APPOINTED
ON SALES PAVILION
Donnelly Breeders Start Movement
for Sales Pavilion for Stock
Breeders

J. P. Steinfort and J. E. Peterson
ested in the extension of the pure
bred industry in Stevens county, ap-
peared before the Commercial Club
at their meeting last Friday evening
for the purpose of interesting the
club in promoting the erection of
an adequate stock sales pavilion
where sales of pure bred cattle, hogs
and sheep could be held.
Mr.. Steinfort, who formerly
brought up the matter at the annual
meeting of the Stevens County Agri-
cultural Society about three months
ago, urged again that such build
ing should be built on the county
fair grounds, where the barns that
are already there could be utilized
for the housing of stock at the time
of a sale. He stated that he attend
ed a hog sale at Howard Lake last
winter and was impressed with the
necessity of having a good sales paw
ilion in order to encourage the pure
bred industry.
Several members of the club spoke
in favor of undertaking the promo
tion of such a pavilion because the
future of this country depends upon
the building up of live stock breed
ing and sales.
A committee consisting of P. E
Miller, E. J. Jones, Max TrantDw
D. H. Lawler and M. B. Lord was
appointed to represent Morris on a
committee which is expected to be

SUCCESS CAME BY
GETTING THE BEST
Ferguson Bros, Candy Breeders of
Hereford Cattle, Have Worlds
Record Sire

The Ferguson Brothers, extensive
Hereford breeders of Candy, whose
sale advertisement appears elsewhere
in this issue, started out with practi-
cally no capital and likewise little or
no expericene with live stock. They
had been brought up on a farm in
the mountainous district of Pennsyl-
vania and after coming west about
fifteen years ago, they engaged in
such business as kept them in direct
touch with the soil and it's products.
Their experiences and observations
taught them that the changing times
constantly demanded better farming
and with better farming, the raising
of better live stock.
By hard struggling they managed
to gain an equity in a farm and fin
ally secured five registered Hereford
heifers and registerd Hereford bull.
From this humble start they have
continued increasing the numbers
and quality of their registered Here
numbers one of the foremost in this
country.
| At the head of this outstanding
herd of registered Hereford cattle
owned by Ferguson Bros, is the
world record sire, Richard Fair
fax 449317. Those who are inter
ested in better live stock would find
! it a profitable investment to make
the trip to Candy on May 18 if for nc
other reason then to see this world
record sire. Ferguson Bros. are al
ways glad to hear from interested
people and are at all times in a posi-
tion to fill Hereford requirements
whether it be for a herd bull OF
whether it be for registered females
Needless to say, this territory
needs more and better live stock
and this appears like an unusual op,
portunity to secure good foundation
stock. Ferguson Brothers have at
tanned their success by being salts
fed with nothing but the best and il
live stock breeding is to prosper il
Stevens county, some of this excep
tional foundation stock should b,
brought here now. In these day
when the cattle market shows sucl
wide spread between good stocl
and poor stock, scrub stock is, liza
bility instead of an asset.

White Way Referred

Considerable attention was given
to the installation of a white way on
Atlantic avenue at the meeting of the
Commercial Club last Friday eve
ming, and the matter was referred to
a committee for further investiga-
ton. There was only a limited at
tendance of business men owning
property abutting upon Atlantic
avenue, which property would be ex-
pected to bear the expense of in
stallation in whole or in part.

Tossed bv Bull

J. w. Paulson, manager of the
CrocNs Valley Farm was tossed by a
bull On Tuesday, and is now confined
to his bed with severe injuries. He
was working in the pasture and the
bull approached him from behind un-
noticed, and tossed him into the air.
When Mr.. Paulson came down he
struck his side against the corner OF
a portable pen, and was injured sc
severely that he had to take to his
bed. He also broke his little
finger. He is resting as easily as
could be expected, but it will be
some time before he can resume
work.

Iowa Has Nothing on Us

F. A. Mullen returned from a trip
to northeastern Iowa last week with
the conviction that Stevens county
compares favorably in every way
with the well-known agricultural
state to the south. He drove into
the country from New Hampton,
near which town he lived thirty
years ago, and was astonished as the
relatively small amount of change
that there had been in that time. The
farm improvements were many of
them as he had known them, and
there is much tiling that needed to
be done thirty years ago, and is still

Fifth-vear Celebration Proposed

At the meeting of the Commercial

called attention to teh fact that fifty
years ago this summer the first build
ings were erected in Morris, and he
proposed that a semi-centennial cele-
bration be put on here some time this
summer either on the Fourth Of July
or at some other date.
The suggestion was received with
considerable interest by the club, but
no action was taken. 1t is expected
that the matter will be considered
at a future meeting.

county appears to be just as far
along, and comparatively is much
farther along in improvement and
development
Mr.. Mullen also noted that vegeta-
tion is no farther along there than
it is here, the grass is no longer there
and the leaves on the trees are out
about the same. There was heavy
freeze there last Friday morning.

on this ultimatum was based the
anpeal of Judge Ben W. Hooper OF the
rail wage board to the unions, when
Is credited with having averted the

The poll was instituted by Samuel

Great Western Railway and chairman
of the executives of lines centering IN

lot to presidents of all roads in ms
group asking their views on the
question of a petition for anotheF

With the national rail strike avert
ed, attention was turned yesterday to
the task of terminating quickly the
strike already in progress on the In

was the general opinion. The rail
board pledged its aid in inducing the
management of the road to replace
the strikers on the payrolls. Union
chiefs added their pledge to use all
their power in bringing the men back
at once.
At the same time all the railways
were heading back toward a peak OF
efficiency, from which they had be
gun to clip as the hour for the gen
