FIREWORKS SHIPMENT
ARRIVE FOR SPECTACLE
Representatives of Thearle- Duffield
Arrive To Prepare For Fire
Display.

The first shipments of fireworks
for the Fair Spectacles have already
arrived in Morris. Advance repre-
sentatives of the Thearle-Duff1eld
Fireworks Co., Of Chicago will arrive
here early next week to inspect the
fair grounds and prepare for the big
fireworks display which will be put
on at the fair this year. Word to
this effect was received today by Max

The men who come here will have
charge of laying out the ground and
preparing the final equipment and
settings with which the night show
will be produced. Special grading at
the fair grounds may be necessary to
make room for some of the special
devises used. A complete network of
electric wiring for exploding mines
and other heavy explosives will also
be installed.

forward. 1t caught in the fan belt
and was all but torn off at the shoul-
der, hanging to the body only at the
shoulder blade. An artery was torn
loose and the lad gradually bled to
death.
A hurried trip was made to Litch-
field with the boy, but as so much
blood had been lost, the child died
soon after reaching town.
1t is quite possible that his life
might have been saved if the proper
application of first aid could have
been made. The drive to town in
volved a distance of more than rs
miles and it necessarily took some
time to cover the ground. The body
was prepared for burial and returned
to the home of the stricken parents.

search warrant, the local police au-
thorities entered the premises of the
Benson Bottling works Tuesday night
and made search for intoxicants.

yet been made, and the exact nature

quart bottles with small quantity
of liquor in each of them, and jug
containing liquid about which there
is said to be question as to the al
cohlic contents totals the evidence on
which it will be decided whether the
owners of the bottling works are
guilty of smashing any prohibition

partner in the bottling concern, was
arrested, charged with being intoxi-
Gated, plead guilty in Justice A. w.

voted to call the organization the

EATING CONCESSIONS
Morris Churches Will Provide Meals
To Fair Visitors: Other Stands
To Offer Refreshments.

Three churches, the English Luth-
Free Lutheran have been given eat
ing concessions at the fair grounds
during the county fair next week.
With several other weiner and soft
drink stands to supplement the regu-
lar meals offered Fair visitors need
not be worried about going hungry.
''It is a big task to work out plans
for the feeding of the throng of Wis
itors who will attend the fair" said
Secretary Wollthan, today, Every
person at the fair must be fed. Eat
ing stands must be placed on every
convenient corner of the grounds.
Care must be taken to provide good,
clean food. We feel sure, however,
that this problem is being solved in
a thorough manner, and fair visitors
will be pleased with the way eating
concessions are handled"
All previsous attendance records
are expected to be broken by fair Of
ficials this year. The entertainment
program and the educational exhibits
will prove of more interest than those
of any former year.. Many letters
have been received from stock raisers,
boys and girls interested in club work
and women who want to enter work
in the women's work department, all
asking about the premiums to be
awarded, and the rules governing the
entering of exhibits. -,

Tour Of Minnesota Fairs-At
State Fair Next Week.

President Howard of the National
Farm Bureau Federation is now on a

on August 80, at the Lyon county
fair at Marshall on August 81, and
at the Traverse county fair at Browns
Valley on September /. The Stearns

ing at the state fair grounds on Sep
tember 7.
Wednesday, September Z, will be
Farm Bureau Day at the State fair.
James R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
and Senator Arthur Capper of Kan
sas have been invited to address a

bers in the afternoon. Other speak
ers will review the work of the farm
bureau IN cooperative udfh0LluS anu

CROWDS ATTEND BIG
ROADWAY CELEBRATION
Morris And Hancock Celebrate Road
Opening. Judge Hallam and
Mr.. Forbes Speak.

More than 1,434 car loads of people
from outside of Morris attended the
celebration of the opening of the ce-
ment roadway between Hancock and
Morris at the fair grounds last Sun
day. L. P. Zimmerman counted them.
There were $40 light Minnesota cars,
759 heavy, 13 light from outside
two tons, 2 wagons and 8 buggies.
Judge Oscar Hallam and Mr.. Forbes
of the Highway Commission were the
speakers of the afternoon.
"Ten years. from now Minnesota
will mean the same to tourists in
summer that the state of California
means to winter tourists now" said
Mr.. Forbes in speaking of how much
Minnesota would benefit from her
trunk highways.
He congratulated the people of the
county that their highway did not
just lead to the house of some county
commissioner but was a thru high
way which would draw many tour
lists from all over the country.
Mr.. Forbes traced the development
of highway maintenance in Mime
sofa, describing how before the ce-
ment roads were planned, a man was
sent through France, Germany, Swift
zerland and Italy to see the European
roads, especially the famous Appian
way. The man returning to the
United States reported on the merits
| and defects of the roads he saw, and
adequate maintenance was settled on
as most important, the material used
to be decided by the volume of traffic.
Judge Hallam paid high tribute to
! the pioneers that settled and devel-
oped great tract of land between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains. He recalled how it was
the property of the king of Spain a
hundred years ago and was later sold
to the United States for SIS, 100000
amounting to little over two cents
an acre.
P. e. Miller who introduced the
speakers spoke of the community OF
interests that was made possible by
the opening of the roadway between
the towns. He said it was the first
time in the history. of the county thai
machine had ever made trip be-
tween Morris and Hancock without
collecting any Stevens county soil on
it's wheels.
The band was in the grandstand
when the crowds arrived and opened
the program with several good mum
bers. The Norris and Benson play,
ers practised a little on the diamond
in front of the grandstand, but later
withdrew to the side lines to listen tt
the speakers.
The baseball game at the close o
the program was we'll attended abou
half of the people remaining to see it

Weather and Crops.

The continued dry weather has
seen the winding up of the shock
threshing, and stack threshing is so
far advanced that several rigs are
thru for the season.
Flowing is we'll started and the
prospects are that this season will see
the most early blowing ever done in
this county. 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that only the established farm
ers and tenants are plowing, and that
little is being done with land of non
resident owners, much of which may
not be put in another year.
