The travelling of state road No. is

the G. N. depot at Willmar.
Through arrangement of the village
and the state road trucks graVeled the
road leading to state road from Alberta
including main street. This was a most
thoughtful and wise plan of the village
officials as there has always been some
bad spots in the road leading south from
Alberta. Also main street was over
due for additional gravel at this time.
Alberta has always had reason to feel
proud of the condition of it's street, and
when the present coat of gravel is
worked in the stpeet should be in first
class condition.
The following taken from the Kings
bury County, S. D., Independent, makes
mention of a we'll known Morris resident
and may interest the readers of the
Tribune. There is an attempt by Tom
n II +L1nn Mo-, Tofs
san leaders to make trouble for DR.: E.
C. Higbie, president of the state normal
school at Madison, because he fired
their pet Mrs. Anna Mae Brady from
the faculty at that school. The fact
that she was out campaigning ought to
be a good reason for firing her. DR..
Higbie only recently came to the state.
He has taken up a work in which he
desires beyond all else to make sue
cess. He can be trusted to do that which
will work for the good of the school.
1t is his selfish interest to make it
success. That is what the taxpayers
want for their money. If Higbie is
competent to be at the head of the
school give him a free hand. If not
fire him. AS long as he remains at the
head of the school he should have the
power to hire or fire any teacher he
thinks best. Let us have one state school
working on a business basis"
It is reported from Washington that
Mr.. Wilson will continue to act as
mediator between Armenia and Turkey
after he retires from the presidency.
No serious objection will be raised in
this country: The matter affected is
located about as far from the United
States as it would be possible to place
it. To have Mr.. Wilson's operations on
the other side of the world is the main
thing altho it will be hard on the
Armenians and Turks.

motion picture lectures by notable
speaker music, etc., will be given at
Braunis Hall under the auspices of the

Tuesday evening, Jan. 25th. Everybody
