two cars of this new fertilizer in
Stevens county and western Mime
sofa. Treble superphosphate, the
new form of acid phosphate which
has been developed during the last
few years has proved to be three
times as efficient as ordinary acid
phosphate which has been used in
all of the work thus far conducted
in this section Of Minnesota. This
new phosphate offers many advant-
ages which should make it's use even
more profitable than when the COM
mon form of this/fertilizer is used.
A single application of 125 pounds or
one sack of fertilizer to one acre is
sufficient for four successive crops
and will yield large returns on the
investment. This fertilizer can be
furnished on basis Of pre-War
prices. The Division Of Soils of the
University and the West Central Sta
tion at Morris desire to have this new
fertilizer introduced into this section
of Minnesota where acid phosphate
has proved so profitable. The meet
ing on Friday will be an open meet
ing and everyone interested in this
subject is invited to attend.

MORRIS GIRLS WINNERS
In FRIDAYS CONTEST
Two Judges Decide for Morris Girls
One Thinks Ortonville Boys
Did Better

By two to one decision the Nor
ris High School debating team defeat
u, ed the Ortonville High School team in
the debate held at the Orpheum Fri
day evening.
Ortonville was represented by
three boys, Lucian Kaercher, Bennie
Hess and Carl Anderson and Norris
by three girls, Mildred Leuty, Jean
Harris and Marion Larson.
The OrtonvilIe boys upholding the
affirmative side of the question: ere
solved that the Open Shop is Prefer
able to the Closed Shop in Our In
dustrial System based their argu-
ments chiefly on thePcontentions that
strikes so often resorted to by the
violations of personal liberty. Also
that restriction of output is encour-
aged in the closed shop, preventing
the workers from putting forth their
best efforts which is detrimental both
to the workers and the public.
The Morris girls upholding the
negative side of the question, de-
Tended the closed shop on the
grounds that it is necessary for the
maintenance of labor unions and that
labor unions are essential to the best
interests of the workers. They re-
cited numerous instances where labor
unions had been instrumental in
bringing about improved working
conditions and a higher standard of
living for the laborers.
Both teams quoted eminent auth
critics to prove their statements and
throughout the entire debate showed
that they had given the subject a
careful study.
The judges for the debate were K.
L. Adams, of the St. Cloud Normal
School; V. E. Anderson, Attorney
from Wheaton; and George o. Bro
haugh, Superintendent of Schools, at
Willmar.

DIR. BIRCH OUTLINES PLAN FOR
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ASSN

All over the community people are
awakening to the fact that we
ought to have hospital. J.
We have in this county 10000
people and a community of this
strength need a hospital of it's own,
that will furnish work shop for
the local physicians and surgeons
and provide place for the sick.
The question of what sort of a
hospital, naturally suggests a gen.
eral hospital, because all kinds of sick
ness must be cared, for. People who
come to the hospital are sick and
their illness is not within their con-
troll. -
The next question to consider is
the funds for this building and the
permanent support. The hospital
must be organized and planned with
view of it's becoming a self-sup-
porting institution and thus be of
real value to the people it serves.
There are two forms in which
money may be provided for this pur-
pose, one of which is the old and u.s.
ual way of raising such funds, viz
by selling stock, and End is a new
plan which l propose to set forth be.
low.
This is: To form a hospital associ-
alton, the active members of which
become eligible to free hospital med
ication and care, during any time
they shall be in need of such because
of an acute illness or the need OF

MANY DONATE TO THE
STARVING In EUROPE
Stevens County Shows Readiness to
Help Relieve Suffering in
Stricken Countries

The drive for funds for the desti-
tute children in Europe has been en-
tered into with great interest by the
people in all parts of Stevens county.
Reports from districts where the
drive is almost completed show that
the people are donating to this cause
with the same Willingness that has
marked the many drives for funds
in the past years.
Yesterday J. H. Adams, Stevens
County Publicity Chairman of the
European Relief Council, authorized
the following statement relative to
the work:
ION Monday Mr.. Dushek, chair
man for thu Morris district had his
teams we'll organized and they lost
no time in canvassing the city and
much praise should be given the la
dies who did such splendid work.
ION Tuesday j. H. Adams was
asked to come to Agricultural School
and explain European Council to
them as they had organized and ex-
pected to make a canvass of their
faculty and students.
"Many of the schools over the
county are giving socials this week
i and next and the money will be used
for this purpose.
"There has been almost $500 re-
ported from the Morris district and
! the High School Commercial Class
| has been sending out letters to all
the farmers over Stevens county this
their donations are in and the out
lying districts are completed that
! Stevens County will once more have
gone over the top but the need is
terrible in Europe and a recent in
spector on conditions in Europe says
that three hundred million is needed
instead of $33,OOO,OO0 as Hoover has
asked for.
"Next week we will report those
who have taken an active part in
this work and give the amounts from
the different districts.
''In the near future every moving
picture show will receive a reel
film showing actual conditions in
Europe and weaving it into beauti-
full story and in all states this has
been put on by the theatres and the
entire amount taken in has been Civ
en- to this cause and I am sure that
Mr.. Gaffney will do the same al
though he has not been asked, but
it is great work-the work fo1
the sake of humanity and we have
d had 5000 already given from the
! Lutheran churches of Stevens coun-
ty and $135 from the High School
and such sums as these already sent
in before this drive was made but we
still have big job on our hands OF
caring for these destitute children in
Europe and if we are called upon
: again and our ability will permit let
us meet it like the great Nation that
we are and let us show the World
that our charity is as bound1ess as
! the wants of humanity" -.

High School Team Loses

High School Team Loses
The local High School basketball
team journeyed to Elbow Lake last
Saturday where they met defeat at
the hands of the husky Elbow Lake
lads.
The game was played in a garage
and whenever a local collided with
an Elbow Lake man it was as a
Ford and a Packard truck in colli-
son. The Morris boys counted first
and at the end of the first half were
leading 8-6. But the additional
weight of their opponents told heavi-
ly and they we're forced down to a
1913 defeat.
The locals played a hard fighting
game and were working as hard at
the finish as at the start, and gave
good account of themselves. For
Elbow Lake Simpson was easily the
star.
