happy conclusion finally arrived at.
II the boys were really not doing
the old do-se-do Monday night, the
whispers of fake are a grave in
Justice to Britton. in our humble
opinion one of the greatest crafts
men that ever poked a cauliflower
ear through the ropes.
Thirty-seven years old, according
to the books, and probably holding
out a couple of years on US, at that;
eighteen years in the ring, and still
a champion!
That's Britton!
Not only a champion, but giving
a boxing lesson Monday night TO
another champion. supposed to be
one of the best boxers in the land.
They may have faxed the finish.
but they certainly did not fake
some of the rounds when, sven as
a sparring exhibition. Old Boy Brit.
ton worked his initials on Leonard.
And as for Leonard. we have only
this to say:
Son. when you crawl into the ring
against that fellow Lew Tender, Of
Philadelphia, you be very CAREFUL
Be very, very careful.

Must Keep Mail Roads Open.

According to word received by a
Minnesota postmaster recently from
the postmaster generals office in
Washington, roads on mail routes
must be kept open or the routes will
be discontinued. It was also stated
that this ruling is to be enforced all
the year round and applies to impas-
sable roads caused by mud as well as
snow.
When mail route is once discon-
tinued on account of an impossible
road, it takes considerable red tape
to get it established again.
The only practical way to get mail
delivered on rural routes when roads
become clogged with snow is for pa
irons to volunteer their assistance,
and break the road from gate to gate
ahead of the mail man. A little CO.
operation of this kind few time a
year will prevent any question being
raised about discontinutng route.

HOME TALENT PLAY IS
GRATIFYING SUCCESS
Catholic Association Stages Farcial
Comedy-To Be Staged Again
Sunday.

When the curtain fell on the final
act of '"The Private Secretary" far
ciaI comedy in three acts presented
under the auspices of the Morris Mis-
sionary Association of Catholic Wom-
en- at the Orpheum theatre on
Wednesday evening, an audience that
filled every seat in the theatre hesi-
tated in its seats, it wanted more.
Through three acts of sparkling
comedy and humorous situations, pre-
sented by a cast in the selection of
which not a single mistake had been
made, a a.capacity house lived, felt and
breathed the problems of the char
acters in the comedy.
Home talent plays oftentimes have
a way of associating themselves with
theatrical blunders, slips in stage
etiquette and unfortunate happen
stances. No such flaws could be found
in the presentation of the comedy last
Wednesday night and only the most
cynical critic could have found food
for detracting statements. To those
who engineered the project and those
who participated in it's presentation
too much credit cannot be given for
it's gratifying success. A matinee was
also given in the afternoon. Owing
to the large number of persons un-
able to secure seats for the perform
ance on Wednesday evening, who
have requested that it be staged again
it will be given at the Orpheum on
Sunday afternoon If weather condi-
tions are favorable, it was announced
yesterday.
Extolation of any individual mem
ber of the cast would be unfair to
the supporting members as each part
carried with it varying degree of
possibilities and in no case were these
possibilities sighted. Sheridan FIah-
erty. in the leading role of "The Pri-
vate Secretary" found virgin soil for
an extraordinary talent. Playing op-
posite him, Miss Nellie Moran as Miss
Ashford, was accorded the other stel-
lar role, with Daniel Kennedy, Char
les O'Connell, Peter Cannaughton,
Edward Shervin, Max McGraw and
Miss Cecil Hyland assisting in the
/ heavier parts The other members of
the cast were, Miss Ann Mccarthy,
Miss Eva Chap1inski, Roman Walz
and George Abel, Jr.
Between the acts Mrs. e. B. Boyle
and Miss Margaret Kohler gave a
pleasing duet and encore and little
Adeline Riedner proved that not all
of the clever and graceful dancers are
grownups nor busy on the legitimate
stage or with the movies. Music was
furnished by we'll selected orchestra
Of local musicians.

After a business session and gener-
al discussion of the work outlined for
the coming year Mrs. J. G. Morrison
and Mrs. Guy Grove sang a duet and
Mrs. Saunders gave a piano solo,
which was followed by a trio by Mrs.
Morrison, Mrs. Grove and Mrs. H. G.

"The Kleptomaniac," which was very
well presented by Mrs. G. L. Voss,
Mrs. G.. w. Geenty, Mrs. Paul Cart

Gently received by Miss Bertha Bru-
baker, Stevens county nurse, from
the U. 8. Department of Labor.
Under the provisions of the bill a
new state department division of

thorized under the bill. One of the
first moves will be the holding Of a
public health institute at the Uni

The West Central School of Agri-

throughout although rather rough
at times. Tonight the Aggies tackle

AS a result of blizzard, which
Minnesota and the Dakotas, railroad
traffic was at standstill throughout
the greater part of yesterday and
this morning found the resumption
of regular schedules still somewhat
handicapped by the heavy snowfall of
the early part of the week.
No. on the Great Northern was
stalled for nearly eight hours at Han
cock yesterday because of the snow
and No. 9 was held up at Brecken-
ridge while the track west was being
cleared of the heavy drifts. The Great
Northern noon train going east did
not leave Fargo yesterday morning
at all and was expected to delay its
trip for day. The Northern Pacific
train to Little Falls rested here over
Wednesday and Thursday and it was
doubtful whether the trip would be
made today or not. Numbers 1 and
2 on the N. P. mainline were held up
the greater part of yesterday while
all available snow plows were busy
clearing the track.

New N, P. Agent,

J. E. Evans, who has been local
depot agent at the Northern Pacific
railroad depot here since the first of
May, 1920, was relieved last week by
Lester Whipper, formerly agent at
Westport, MINI. Mr.. Evans was re-
lieved because of the seniority rights
of Mr.. Whipper and has been trans
ferred to the extra list of the COM
pany. Mr.. Evans and his family ex-
pect to leave about the first of March
for a trip OF some six weeks to the
west coast unless an opening with the
railroad occures before that time.
They will still maintain their resi-
dence in Morris
