AMONG THE CHURCHES
Congregational Church
To the members of the Congrega
tional church and congregation.
In our study of the Bible lesson
last Sunday we found that before
one can know the principles of Jesus
he must first become a follower of
Jesus.
The beatitudes then set forth to
His followers that first in order to
be members of the Kingdom one
must submit his will to the will of
God. These are the "Poor in Spirit."
Then who mourns for his sin will be
comforted by the Pardon of his
Saviour. The meek are those who do
not show arrogance toward their fel
lows and so are blessed. Hunger and
thirst are the most insistent of our
lives. So must we long for true
right living in our own hearts. He
who would obtain mercy must him
self be merciful. Germany has been
cruel so she has no sympathy of
angels nor of men.
Purity and peacableness are es
sentials of prosperity on earth or in
heaven. The righteous shall have
persecution, so do not be perturbed
when you are slandered and falsely
spoken against for His sake.
For next Sunday's study let us
take Mat. 5:13-20. Here we will
find the relation of the follower of
Jesus to the world. Let us show the
spirit commended in our lesson for
next Sunday.
Respectfully yours,
F. H. Richardson.

"These seven organizations have
accepted and discharged this trust
in a manner that has commanded the
admiration of the world, and the
eternal gratitude of every man under
the service of the flag.
"And, whereas, the privilege of
giving moral and financial support
to this wonderful work, so closely
interwoven with the lives of the men
in service, has been given not to an
institutional government, but to
every individual man, woman and
child in the United States:
"Now, therefore, I, G. W. Geenty,
Mayor of the City of Morris, do here­
by proclaim to the citizens of the
city that, during the week begin
ning Sunday, November the tenth,
1918, they bestow attention, lend
effort and strength, and give liter
ally to the fullest extent of their
means to the appeal for funds that
shall be made by United War Work
Campaign for $170,500,000, to
"carry on' this wonderful work so
auspiciously begun. During the
next year, which is undoubtedly to
be the most critical year in the war,
our men in service must experience
no interruption or modification of
the extent to which this morale-mak
ing work has entered into their lives
and brought happiness and courage.
To see that this does not happen is
the part of those of us whom our
boys have left at home.
S. Stewart of Morris has com
menced action to retrain the Otter
Tail Power Company from charging
or collecting any compensation for
light, heat and power in excess of
the maximun compensation as pro
vided for in the contracts entered
into between the city and the Power
Company. A hearing for the grant
ing of temporary injunction is to
be held on Monday, November 11,
before Judge Flaherty.
Attorney Mangan of Morris is re
presenting Mr. Stewart and at the
commencement of the action he se
cured a restraining order prohibit
ing the Power Company from charg
ing any compensation in excess of
the maximum provided for in the
contracts until after the hearing.
For this reason the company is not
collecting the surcharge on the regu
lar monthly bills, but if the com
pany wins in the suit, then each
customer will have to pay the sur
charge later.
If the action is sustained and an
injunction issued pending its final
termination, it will save the citizens
of Morris and tax payers several
thousand dollars per month in money
paid direct to the power company
and in taxes.

Fires
At Brainerd, Minn., last week, the
Red Cross operating under Secretary
Fred T. ^incoln fed 75 Home guards
who were fighting fires at Kimberly
and Tamarack on the Northern Pa
cific east of Brainerd. The guards
traveled in automobiles. Brainerd
had but a short time to prepare for
the men and the Red Cross operated
with certainty a regular canteen.
The Red Cross organization at Brain
erd also sent doctors and nurses to
Aitkin, the center of the Aitkin
county fires.

A "wheel of fortune" was recently
operated by four small girls of
Henena, Mont. The girls are mem
bers of the Red Cross Patriotic Club
and conducted their booth under the

for the Red Cross during one after
noon.
When automobiles were rushed to

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
CLOSED BY INFLUENZA
Several New Cases in City and Ban
Still Holds on All Public
Meetings
On account of a few eases of i
fluenza in Morris, the Health auth
orities have thought it best not to
lift the quarantine next week. Con
sequently the churches will not open
next Sunday and the schools will not
open next week. The Agricultural
School has been closed this week as
thirty-five cases of influenza broke
out there last Saturday. The Girls'
Dormitory was immediately turned
into a hospital and those who did not
have symptoms of the disease were
allowed to go to their homes.
Dr. Caine, chairman of the Board
of Health, and Dr. Geenty, mayor of
the city of Morris, have had circulars
printed and distributed, giving cer
tain rules which patients and their
families should follow. The direc
tions are given below.
In behalf of the safety and well
being of the people of Stevens Coun
ty, we urge upon you the strictest
possible compliance with the follow
ing directions:—
1. Allow no one but the unrse or
attendant in the room with the
patient.
2. The nurse, or member of fam
ily acting as nurse, should wear an
influenza mask, and either an oper
ating gown, or a large apron, which
can and should be removed before
the nurse leaves the room and comes
in contact with other persons. The
influenza mask is doubly safe if
soaked in a solution of bicloride of
murcery occasionally, then wrung

Swift & Company, in fifty years of well
ordered growth, has become one of the
great national services because it has
learned to do something for the American
people which they needed to have done
for them, in the way in which they
preferred to have it done.
It has met each successive demand, in
the changing conditions of national life,
by getting good meat to increasing mil
lions effectively, efficiently, economically,
and expeditiously.
The Swift & Company packing plants,
refrigerator cars, car routes, branch
houses, organization, and personnel of
today are the practical solutions, born of
practical experience, to the food problems
of half a century.
Becauseof all these elements working in
correlation and unison, Swift & Company
is able to supply more and better meafcto
more people than would hrve been pos
sible otherwise, at a net profit per pound of
meat so low (a fraction of a cent) that the
consumer price is practically unaffected.
Strip away any portion of this vast,
smooth-running human machine, and you
make a large part of the meat supply
uncertain, lose the benefit of half a century
of fruitful experience, and scatter the
intelligent energies of men who have
devoted a life work toward meeting the
needs of a nation in one vital field.
