BASEBALL UNDER WAY
Goodly Crew of Athletes Turns Out
For Practice,

Last Sunday saw promising crew
of baseball athletes at the fair
grounds and a good early season
workout was held. While the dia-
mond was not available for a good
work out the boys chased flies and
had a short session of batting prac-
tice. 1t is expected that by next
Sunday the grounds will be in con-
dition for some infield practice and
for games in another week or two.
Cooper, an ex-Western league back
stop, was on hand and looked good
to those present and will no doubt
add considerable weight to the local
team. He worked with the Lincoln
team of the Western league some
years back and also the Minneapolis
team in the A. A. His services have
been secured for the season and his
receiving should prove valuable with
Boutell on the mound. He lives at
Donnelly.
While there was little chance for
the picking of tentative lineup last
Sunday because of the unavailibility
of the grounds, there seemed to be a
wealth of favorable material on hand
and Morris should be well represented
on the diamond this summer with the
selection of the nine from those pres
ent and what other material there is
in town. 1t was decided to hold
practices on Tuesday and Thursday
nights of each week as soon as the
grounds are put in shape and final
preparations for putting a team in
the field completed, which will prob
ably be by the end of this week.
Already there are rumors of games
in the near future and it is expected
that Morris will be doing battle with
hostile aggregations before many
days have passed.

Spring Activities Under Way

Morris is in the midst of spring
house cleaning, not only indoors but
out of doors as we'll. During the
past weeks numerous homes and
buildings have received new supply
of shingles on one section or the
other and several new porches are
making their appearance while others
are being rebuilt. Vacant lots are
receiving attention and gardening
operations are we'll under way
throughout the city.
H. c. Olson has done considerable
work about his undertaking parlors
and now has the grounds we'll
groomed with a number of shrubs
planted to improve the appearance
of his property. George Danielson
has also done considerable work
about his store property and now has
fine row of hitching posts ready for
use by farmers coming to the city.
The various oil filling stations are
busy improving the appearance about
their stations for the summer trade.
Work on the armory grounds has
| been started and the sidewalk in
front of the building was taken up
early this week for improvements.
Many other business concerns and in
dividual lot owners have made spring
improvements and another week or
two should see Morris in a much i'm
proved condition for the summer
[ months.

Rev. Lash Tells of HOLLYWOOD.

w. l.. Colyer has received from his
son-in-law, Rev James H. Lash, pas
tor of the Congregational church at
Hollywood, Cal, a copy of folder
which is being distributed to dispel
some of the misconceptions regarding
life in Hollywood. The circular was
written by Rev. Lash, and says in
part: .
But some one asks, What about
the moving picture business, and the
people of the moving picture colony?'
In the first place, it may be said the
moving picture industry is here for
"a good reason. Hollywood has ad-
vantages for it, possessed by few if
Iany other places. For location, the
mountains, the ocean, the desert, the
country, the city, and within easy
access make the situation quite ideal.
The atmospheric condition in the
area in which Hollywood is located
has no superior anywhere for the
taking of pictures.
'The moving picture industry has
come to stay, if for no other reason
than that it is such tremendous
educational force. Simply because in
some cases, possibly many cases it
has been used for wrong ends, mil
itates not in the least against it's
value. 1t is powerful agency for
good as we'll as evil, and well-inten-
toned people ought to appropriate
and use it for right ends.
! ro LlooI1 CI oor
among the moving picture people,
and things transpire in certain circles
among them that will not square with
the ten commandments. No one
knows this any better, or perhaps de-
plores~ it more than the people in
pictures, who lead clean lives and
have ideals for their profession, and
there are many of the latter class.
For time I lived one-half block
from one of the largest studios in
Hollywood, where several of the
noted stars and scores of lesser lights
were engaged. have had as neigh
bors almost all the time since living
in Hollywood people prominent in the
theatrical and moving picture world
and never once around the studio, OIL
on the streets or about their homes
have seen any conduct unbecomine
that of lady or gentleman. The
fact is that many of the profession
are quiet, unobtrusive, home-loving
people, interested in their families
homes and the things in the com.
munity that are worthwhile. I an
very glad to number some of then
among my friends. Tt seems to me
most unfair that all should be made
to suffer for the misdeeds of the
smaller number, and that Holly
wood, should be judged by the mis-
statements of the uninformed. Holly
wood is today, as it has been from
the beginning, and will be in thu
future, one of the choicest cities il
which to live in the Golden State"

C. AND C. TOURISTS
TO BE HERE MAY rs
Representatives of More than 75
Minneapolis Firms will Visit
Morris on Trade Tour

More than rs Minneapolis firms
will be represented in the Minneapo-
lis Civic and Commerce association
Trade Tour this year, according to
J. e. Tatam who was in Morris
Tuesday arranging details for the
program which will be put on here
by the tourists during their stop on
May 26th. They will come in on the
Great Northern about noon and ex-
pect to stay about an hour. A dele
cation from the Morris Commercial
club will be among those who will
meet the tourists upon their arrival
here. A special train will carry the
tourists on their trip the week of
May % to 81.
About eighty communities in Mimi
esota and North Dakota will be
visited, the 500 Line, Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern all being in
volved in the movement of the
special. On the train will be Colonel
George e. Leach, who commanded the
crack 151st Field Artillery of the
Rainbow Division during the war and
who now is mayor of Minneapolis.
AS usual the party will be ac-
companied by a band which in the
present case will be the old band of
the 151st Field Artillery. Not only
the business men, but the women and
children of the communities to be
visited, will be greatly interested in
the musical entertainment programs
to be put on. Thousands of souEen-
irs will be distributed enroute. In
some instances, the communities are
arranging to dismiss the schools
whep the visit is booked during
school hours. This will enable the
children to hear the famous military
band and to get their usual fun out
of the souvenirs.

ACTIVITIES OF VETS
FLAYED BY SPEAKERS
Flying Squadron Attacks Liquor In
terests and Uuges Uphold
ing of Constitution.

'The adoption of the 18th amend
ment was legal in every way, and
until this amendment itself is re-
pealed, it is the duty of every con-
gresham, by virtue of his oath of
Office, to work for the enforcement of
this amendment" Oliver Stewart,
president of the Flying Squadron
Foundation, declared in his address
Saturday evening which concluded
the three-day campaign of the squad
ron in Morris at the Methodist
church.
In his plea for law enforcement,
Mr.. Stewart emphasized that this
government is based upon the Con-
stitution of the United States, which
William Gladstone said was the
greatest document ever struck off by
the mind and purpose of man in hu-
man history" This Constitution"
he continued, defined certain hard
and fast rules by which it could be
amended. Prohibition was only at
tanned by a long hard struggle to
fulfill the requirements to amending
this Constitution"
He charged that the vets are en-
gagged in a movement to restore the
drink traffic without repeating the
Prohibition National Amendment and
asserted, that to do so, as the vets
say they can, by electing congress
to repeal the Volstead Act and thus
leave the 18th amendment with no
means of enforcement, is but to make
prejurers of the congressman who do
the bidding of the liquor interests.
When the Constitution goes down,
the government goes with it," he
said.
Frank S. Regan appeared on the
first day, afternoon and evening, and
brought to his audience interesting
facts and theories regarding taxation
and illustrated his points with pic
lures and figures on the blackboard.
Mr.. Regan gave strong address
for the business men showing that
the raise in taxes is not due to the
fact of mo license"-rather to waste
of public funds by inefficient officials
and also by the number of big finan-
cial interests which have lodged
their taxes.
. James H. Woertendyke was one of
the most forceful speakers of the
Squadron and spoke on Friday in the
afternoon and evening. He spoke on
law enforcement and gave some inter
esting sidelights on the workings of
the drys and vets under stress of the
18th amendment DR. ID. Leigh Col
vim, who was scheduled to appear
| the same day was unable to be here.
The Rev. Norma C.. Brown spoke
Saturday afternoon but was called to
Benson that evening and was unable
to fill her scheduled engagement here.
She sketched the progress of the two
great movements-eQual suffrage and
prohibition from their early begin
ming to their realization and closed
by an appeal to the women of the
land to never make a mistake in their
vote when a moral question was an
issue; that woman may be excused
for other mistakes in politics but
every woman should be womanly in
her thinking and voting for cleaner
America. Mr.. Stewart was the
speaker on Saturday evening.
Since August 30, 1921, the Squad
ron has visited more than 223 cities
in the country, holding series of si1
meetings in each town.
