One night the bowlers at Sher.
mans saw something that gave
them a bigger surprise than when
Harry Krauss fell down as anchor
man against Roanoke.
1t was a smile on Urban's face
following a blown spare, II was a
phenomena that Urban himself ex-
planned just today.
y. Il took time out and. did a little
thinking" he said. -.
You know, I used to throw
away many, pins by chucking the
second and third balls down the
alley In disgust after getting .
bad split. Anger over . rotten
break would stick with inc
through several boxes. = 5
ITS obviously foolish to ALLOW
ten sticks Of wood to get ones
goat. Looking at IL that way, L
took tumble to myself and de-
cided that duckpins shouldn't be
made suoh a serious proposition.
So, instead of getting sore over q
bad break. I smile. And get more
tun out of the. game as well as
better scores u,
That's the answer to Arthur's
smile and here's the result: g.
Urban leads the Masonic League
with probably the best average Of
any bowler In the cfty--113 and ~
pins over for 80 gaines.
He holds the city record Nfor
high set this season with 29S.
Ills high game OF 164 IL second.
He leads the Masonic League
In spares with eighty five and IN
strikes with sixteen. 0t n rare
that one bowler leads In both
spares and strikes, for TO mako
many strikes lessons the number
OF boxes IN which spares may be
made, and the chances for spares
accordingly arc made less BY
nunerous strikes. Thank Lonnle
krauss for this observationJ
Urban has an average in the Dis
trict League OF III and leads the
league in strikes with fourteen.
In his last eighteen games in the
Masonic League he has rolled for
an average close to 100. Here are
the sets: S77, 345, $50, sS77, 327. 34t.
AT this moment Urban undoubt.
edly leads all washington bowlers
in brilliant performances this sea-
son.
But II, when the campaign d
ended, someone has outstripped
him, the Masonic, star will be found
smiling.
It's a bet. \

CANDY KITCHEN IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Afternoon Blaze at Morris Candy Kit
chen Causes Loss of $15,O0O-
r." $4,000 Insurance

Fire broke out from apparently a
defective chimney in the Morris Can
dy Kitchen Tuesday afternoon about.
four o'clock. The Morris fire depart
ment fought heroically and we'll for
two hours but due to the peculiar.
construction of the roof and steel
ceiling, no headway could be made
and about Ave o'clock all saw that
the building was doomed. The roof
and walls were gone, but the floor
still is intact and also the large
glass windows and door in the front.
Five thicknesses of roofing mater
ial on the roof, steel, gravel and other
material, prevented direct play by
the water on the flames and the fire
burned until the roof fell in. Miss
Esther Eul was the first to notice the
fire. Smoke was then coming out
from the wainscoting and boards
around the chimney. Outside a
black cloud showed up which many
had noticed but thought it was coal
smoke. The fire department was de-
layed somewhat for water because
the packing glands on the hydrants
at Mullen's corner and at Suckstorffs'
corner were too tight and had to be
loosened by a blow torch.
Thomas Kokovikas, the owner of
the building said that the loss would
be about SIS, 900 and that he had in
surance to the amount of $4,000 on
the building and about $4,000 on the
stock. Much of the fixtures and
equipment was moved out but the
glass structures, such as show cases,
were almost ruined in so doing. Mr..
Kokovikas had just received $500
supply of material for the Christmas
trade and as he said ''Those bills have
to be paid" ..
The electric lights in the building
continued to burn for a long time,
even though streams of water oc-
casionally played upon them.
Mr.. Kokovikas is uncertain just
what he will do as yet, but will clean
up the debris and perhaps rebuild in
the spring. He had a telephone call
from Willmar yesterday asking him
to come down there to work where
be was employed before coming to
Morris four years ago. ,-- - x,
. The young boys apparently had a
good time during the fire ducking
into the back door and presently
emerging with long pieces of sweet
chocolate or tandfuls of candy.

For Winter Term .

ID The largest enrolment in the his
tory of the institution is looked for
at the West Central School of Agri-
culture at the beginning of the next
or second semester dated for Janu-
ary. 2, 1928. Already twenty new
ones are on file in the superintend-
ent's office and more than three times
that number are known to be coming.
The remarkable increase in the
number of students will tax the ca
paeity Of the Accommodations at the
school and there will be quite an ov-
erflow into the city. At present
there are 214 students at the state
institution, an increase of SO per
cent over the number enrolled last
year. - ~s IT,.
This gratifying progress by the
school located. at Morris is evidence

FALL WHILE SKATING
. COSTS BOY HIS LIFE
Kermit Johnson Broke Thru Thin
Ice and Was Drowned 3
Last Friday

The sympathies of the entire city
and countryside were aroused last
Friday when news spread of the
drowning Of Kermit Johnson, the
eleven year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Johnson of Framnas, in the
Thomason lake a half mile or so
northwest from the Johnson home.
Kermit never went skating with
out asking permission. After din
ner, he received permission to go
skating with his chum, Leo Grote,
and after kissing his father and
mother good bye, said "Tn not be
back" meaning that after meeting
his chum, he would go directly to
the lake. These words, so lightly and
tristfully spoken. were to prove to be
the last which his parents were to
hear from their beloved son.
After joining his companion, the
two boys went to the lake where
Kermit warned his companion that
the ice might not be safe and volun-
teered to try it. According to his COM
panion Kermit went out on the lake
as far as some rough ice, and was
returning when one of his skates
came off and he fell, breaking thru
the ice. He disappeared completely
about $50 feet from the shore.
Leo Grote ran. to the Edwards
home to give the alarm but found
Mr.. Edwards at some distance in the
field. The word was then immediate
ly spread thru the neighborhood and
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson were notified.
Some neighbors sought to recover
the boy while others turned their
attention to comforting the stricken
parents. 1t was about two hours be-
fore the body was recovered.
Kermit Samuel Johnson was born
May II, 1911. Besides his parents
he is survived by one brother, Ray.
The largely attended funeral was
held from the First Lutheran church
in Morris on Monday December 4,
Rev. B. H. J. Habel conducting the
service. Not only many sympathiz-
ing friends and neighbors of the be-
reayed parents attended the funeral
but also the schoolmates" of the de-
ceased. The active pail, bearers were
Lloyd Tom, Lester Wellman, Fred
die selk, Raymond Firebaugh, Ben
nei Handorf and Albert Grote. The
honorary pail bearers were Leo Grote,
Howard Olson, Oscar Wier, Adeline
Olson, Elsie Wier and Cecilia Grote.

Mrs. L. H. Schuman, who has been
a sufferer from heart trouble with
complications since last July, died
at her home in this city on Monday
morning, December 4. Her death
was not unexpected, but the sorrow
of her passing is no less keen be-
cause. she has been resident of the
city from pioneer days and was ever
active in ministering to the pleasure
of others both thru various lodge ac-
tivities and in neighborly, acts of
kindness. To the surviving husband
and daughter, the sympathy of host

daughter, Mrs. C. G. VIM. Benn of

Bazaar Is Success

The bazaar held by the Assumption
church in Morris Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons and nights
was a success in spite of the cold
and forbidding weather and the
rough roads. Especially did things
go on Wednesday night when the
chicken pie served by the ladies was
all eaten UP early in the evening.
The auction sales, with Ben Bosold
as auctioneer, we're well patronized
and there was some spirited bidding.
Articles were sold from a box of
candy to provisions enough for a
month in the form of pigs, turkeys,
geese, chickens and the like. These
animals could scarcely be brought in
on Tuesday on account of the roads.
