Morris Loses to Hoffman

In what was probably the best
game of the season from the stand
point of the opponents at least, Nor
ris lost to Hoffman at Hoffman last
Sunday by the low score of 8 to 1.
Experts on the game however, say
that three close decisions in the last
inning broke things up for the boys
from Morris. The breaks" were ap-
parently against them.
Morris secured but two hits but
these came right together and count
ed the only run for the county seat
club. Dwyer came up with two out
in the fourth stanza and drove out
a three Dagger and scored on Coop
er's timely single. All the boys hit
the ball hard but not safe.
Pitchers for both sides worked
we'll, the new man for Morris, Pen
nington, pitched a good heady game
and kept the score down by clever
work Rowe for Hoffman is we'll
known and kept up his reputation
for excellent throwing.

Motor Coach on Browns Valley

One of the first attempts in Min
nesota and probably in the west, to
use direct drive from gas engine
in running an interurban was made
yesterday morning on the Great
Northern from Morris to Browns
Valley. The passenger train taken
off some time ago was put back on
with this selfpropelled car and the
schedule will be adhered to as usual.
The run will be made leaving Morris
at 700 a. m. arriving Browns Val
ley at 800. It will then leave
Browns Valley at 500 p. m. and ar
rive in Morris two hours later.
Local men will have charge of the
car and the run on the branch. j.
J. Purcell will be back on again as
conductor, while the locomotive part
is expected to be given over to w. S.

In looking over the car, one is Civ

BARBERRY EXHIBIT AT I
STEVENS COUNTY FAIR
Government Display Will Show How
Barberry Spreads
Black Rust

Do you know what the common
barberry bush looks like and what it
does to your grain crops.
If you don't you will have an OPP
portunity of getting the dope" at
the Stevens county fair at Morris,
Sept. 4 to T. The United States
government will have an exhibit on
display which will show how the
barberry spreads black stem rust to
grain and what = the consequent
losses are.
The idea of the exhibit is to enlist
farmers in the movement for the ex-
Termination of the common barberry.
This year the state is spending $780,
900 on this work and the national
government has an appropriation of
$3.50, 900 of which $4,000 is being
used in Minnesota. With this money,
and with What has been spent in the
past, many bushes have been de-
stroyed, including all that could be
found in a farm to farm survey OF
Stevens county. -,
Paid agents will not find all the
bushes, no matter how. diligently
they search. The last one will be
dug up. by. some farmer. He won't
dig it up unless he is convinced that
it causes damage to his crops and he
can't destroy it if he doesn't know
what it looks like. The exhibit in
Morris is expected to put him
straight on these two points.
The display was arranged by L. w
Melander, state leader of the federal
barberry eradication forces. 1t was
sent to C. Re- Wollthan of the Stevens
County Agricultural Society by Har-
rison Fuller, director of the confer
ence for the prevention of grain rust
national organization representing
the agricultural interests. =

Dodging Licenses Too Expensive

~ 1t doesn't pay to fool with the
state highway department in the
matter of neglecting or omttting
license for cars.
1t seems that J.. G.. Macarthur Of
Hancock has two cars, Ford coupe
and Stephens car. Neither one has
been graced with the proper license
tag for some two years. In fact, the
model T had tags which 1t appears
had been on car which the man had
purchased and had given note for
it. Mr.. Macarthur was arrested and
taken before Judge Beise who gave
him ten dollar fine. The offender
was then ordered to get tags for the
Ford at once and was given until
September to get tags for the other.
All told, it will cost Mr.. Macarthur
some $3.50 in penalties and licenses
to get the cars on the road again,
about SAL for the Ford and the rest
for the Stephens.
w. G. Jorgenson, resident engineer
of the highway, department, caused
the arrest of Mr.. Macarthur.

GOOD ROADS SHORTEN
DISTANCE TO MARKET
Many Minnesota Farmers Find Buy
ers for Produce Pass
Their Gates

Increase in farm gate market stands
as better roads are extended in Mimi
esota is noted in the current issue of
the state highway bulletin. Also, it
adds, shortening the road to market
is one of the big services the better
highway program is performing. In
scores of places it already has
brought producer and consumer clos
er together, to their mutual advant-
age. Automobiles and better roads
are building up farm gate markets,
moving country stores to town and
the city market to to the farmers
home.
Roadside markets are fast becom-
ing common in many parts of the
state and those along the paved
highways are regarded as a perm
anent addition to general marketing
facilities Fresh vegetables, ripe
fruits, eggs and poultry are some of
the articles most frequently offered
for sale, but many other things are
to be had as the automobile party
drives along. Chicken dinners, light
lunches and soft drinks are found in
another much exploited field.
Farmers maintaining roadside
markets find the products sold direct
to consumer without the interven-
ton of middlemen yield much more
satisfactory returns. City residents,
out on business or pleasure, are glad
to buy produce they know is fresh
and good. Many plan their trips in
to the country to buy food supplies
fresh from the farm, and many are
coming to know the advantages from
the practice.
