Another Store for Morris

According to reports Morris is to
have a third drug store. George
Arneson of Montevideo, for many
years interested in a drug store in
that city, has bought a lot on At
lantic avenue adjoining the Weum-
Belverud store and will have work
commenced on one-story brick
building as soon as the building sea-
son opens. Associated with Mr..
Arneson in the new enterprise will
be his brother, Charles.
The new firm will conduct a "com-
mercial drug store" without the
prescription department.
The Montevideo News states re-
garding Mr.. Arneson's removal from
Montevideo:
Local interests with which Mr.
Arneson has been actively identified
during his residence of sixteen years
in Montevideo will keenly regret his
departure. He has followed a con-
structive policy, being active in re,
cent years as a director of the Mer.
chants association and a member o1
the board of trustees of Our Savior'E
Lutheran Church.
'"The Arnesons expect to move tt
Morris about July 1st."

Madison Independent Press.-Last
Thursday night couple OF men, sup
posed to be from the north, put their

was loaded with Canadian booze.
The men employed at the garage in
making the repairs, say they did not
know what was in the car and that
they were busy making such repairs
until about three o'clock in the morn
ing. Sometime between that hour
and the time for opening up for busi-

WANT MORE RIGHTS
FOR SMALLER CITIES
New Laws Asked By League of
Municipalities Would Improve
Present System

City Manager Haight returned
from st. Paul Friday where he had
attended a meeting of the Minnesota
League of municipalities.
At this meeting many questions Of
great Importance to cities and will
ages were taken up. Several mem
bers of the legislature and the high
way commission were present at the
meeting and offered advise on various
matters.
A number of laws relating to the
managing of the affairs of munici-
palities were drafted for presentation
to the legislature. Among these was
one relating to reclassif1cation of
cities applying chiefly to cities of the
first and second class; another pro-
vides for increased compensation to
clerks and judges Of election with a
maximum of so cents per hour; one
would give cities refundment from
the Babcock highway commission to
cities for paving of state roads with
in the city limits done by the city.

Importance to the city of Morris.

Lyric Singers Here Saturday

The New York Lyric singers are
scheduled to appear as the third
number Of the Lyceum course on
Saturday evening of this week. The
program will begin at $40 and busi-
ness houses in Morris will be asked
to close in sufficient time in. order
that their people who hold season
tickets and others who will care to
attend may have the opportunity to
do so. Because of the change in the
schedule which was made necessary
by the inability of the New York
Glee Club to FL their engagement
last December, It was found necessary
to schedule this number on Saturday
night.
The New York Lyric singers are
a company of five people and are all
artists having been selected from a
large number of candidates from the

Bureau Favors New Laws

Calls for referendum on two laws
pending before the legislature has
been sent out to the farmers of the
state by the state officers Of the Farm
Bureau.
The laws in question are one to
open the Board of Trade to cooper
ative selling organizations and one
making contracting in future il
legal and punishable by a fine of
$4,000 to 100000 fine when such
contracts are not made in good faith.
In Stevens county the opinion of
the majority of farmers have not been
obtained but those who have been
seen have expressed their approval OF
the laws in question.

The contracting firm of Dobbel-
man & Rasmussen completed gravel
ing state road No. in this county
Monday and have shipped the trucks
and equipment to Austin, MINI. ),
where they have another big con-
tract.
The road from the Big Stone
county line east to within two miles

graveled. Grading of the remaining
two mile stretch of road west of the
city is not completed and graveling
could not be done at this time. But
instead stretch from the city limits

From that point to the east county
line the road must be graded before
it can be graveled and it is not ex-
pected that this will be done this
season.

says: -
"In addition to the above quite q
large amount had already been con-
tributed by our citizens through their
churches and the Literary Digest.
. "Then there was the clothing. A
great many of our good women of
Stevens County, who in their i'm
agination could see, the hungry,
shivering, emaciated little children
of Europe pressing their faces against
the window, gazing longingiy2 at
their table, as though begging only
for the crumbs, have not only given
of their money, but washed, and
mended any clothing they could
spare and sent it across the water
to warm the back and gladden. the
heart of some poor child.
"Mr. j.. ]. Gaffney very generous
ly donated the proceeds of the pic
ture show one night.
"a collection was taken at the
West Central School of Agriculture
among the faculty, students, and en-
ployees.
practically every school teacher
in the county has made arrangements
or the arrangements are now in the
making for the holding of a social to
raise ten dollars and thus save one
life
"a letter was written to every
farmer in the county and the pledges
are just now coming in. All pledges
are being sent to the Morris Ma
tional Bank.
"Chokio and Hancock have not yet
completed their canvass.
ct met one of our physicians on
the street after the canvass, and he
said you missed me, and want to
be in on this collection Now this
man saw active service in France,
was gassed, but he also knew what
it was to be hungry. I am only
mentioning this to show the spirit
of the people.

"And so for Mr.. Hoover,> who is
the head of the European Relief

Ball TooLiUely."
SaysCubs' Boss
Thinks Present Pellet En-
dangers Infetders
And Pitchers.

CHICAGO. May 2s.-Manager Ev-
ers of the Cubs, is convinced that
the ball used this year in the Ma
tional game is far livelier than be-
fore and that IL is hurting the
game. He believes it should be
changed at once.
Not only is there danger of a
pitcher or infielder getting seriously
hurt" said John, but the game is
being spoiled because of the way in
fielders are handling ground balls
now. They ar eturning their heads
away and playing the ball on the
side which is a bad habit. One
can't blame them. though, for they
are in danger. But just think what
it will do to baseball If inielders
get to playing that way.
Then II is almost suicide to pull
the infielders in now to cut a run
off at the plate. They cannot handle
the ball il it is hit right at them
with any speed. II that lively ball
isn't taken out of the game, a
pitcher some day will be seriously
hurt. 1 suppose the fans like to see
hitting all right but there's too
much of it now"
