So the slogan at present is "Eat More Potatoes," Mrs.

Rotary Speaker Gives History Of Mt.

Morris An interesting talk was given at today's Rotary meeting, by Harold D. Ross, superintendent of the Kftble Brother plant at Mt. Morris, his subject being the history of Mt. Morris and of the printing plant there. Tn opening: his address, Mr.

Ross referred to his own ancestral connection with Freeport, saying: "As an orphan girl, 12 years old, my mother came to Freeport from Lancaster, to make her home with her aunt and uncle, Anna and Frederic Demuth on Exchange street in a house to the county jail. Her name was Mary Elizabeth bemuth. My father, Harvey Ross, came to Preeport about 50 years ago to be pastor of the United Brethren church. While here he built a new church, and in the process fell off the church and broke his leg, so I am told." Settled In Continuing his talk, Mr. Ross said, in part: "The early histories of Preeport and Mt.

Morris rather parallel each other since they were both settled and established in the same decade, Freeport in 1835 and Mt. Morris in 1839; at least those seem to be the generally accepted dates, but there were settlers there as early as 1837. The town was named for Bishop Morris of the Methodist church, so from its earliest infancy the settlement felt the influence of the church. The prefix 'Mount' was not necessarily given because of the holiness of its settlers but rather because of the high point on which the village was established, the elevation given by the United States coast and geodetic survey being 916 feet. "The Galena and Chicago Union to Freeport in 1853 but it was not until 1871, almost 20 years later, that the first railroad came to Mt.

Morris, this being the Chicago and Iowa' railroad, organized by a man named Hinckley for whom, no doubt, the town of Hinckley was named. Today we are almost back where we started from, for we are on a six- mile branch line from Oregon which ends at, Mt. Morris and we have one train on Sunday. Because of the tremendous amount of freight, mail and express which it carries It is one of the best paying branch lines anywhere. Rock River Seminary "Without question, the event of the greatest importance in the very early history of Mt.

Morris was the founding of Rock River seminary by the Methodists in 1839. The seminary was operated until 1878 and during this period Mt. Morris enjoyed the distinction of being the literary center of the northwest. River seminary closed in 1878 and the Methodists concentrated their efforts on Northwestern university in Evanston. In 1879 the school was opened by the Church of the Brethren, or Dunkards, and in 1884 the name was changed to Mt.

Morris college. It was operated until 1932. Many famous men, General Rawlings and General Lew Wallace, author of the famous book. attended this school and Jeremiah Jenks, at one time financial adviser to the government of China was a professor here. Since the closing of the college in 1932, the property has been disposed of and is being used for a variety of business purposes.

The building formerly used as the boys' dormitory is now owned by Mrs. Harry Kable and has been converted into a modern apartment building. Old Sandstone, the original building- one of the two finest architecturally designed buildings in northern Illinois, the other being St. Peter's chapel in Grand Detour which is an artistic built in 1853 from stone quarried within a few miles of Mt. Morris.

It-is now owned and occupied by J. Watt, publisher of 'Poultry "Turkey World' and 'Hatchery by an engraving plant and the 'Macgregor' magazine subscription agency. The first two floors of the east houses the village library. The center section of the campus from west to east was deeded to the village and contains the community gymnasium. "In the center of the campus on tiie east side is the band shell where the famous Saturday night band concerts have been held for many years.

This band was originally organized in 1845 and has had many prominent leaders, such as Dave McCosk and. just prior to the war, Major Howard C. Bronson, now music officer of the United States army and stationed in Washington, D. C. "The northwest part of the campus is occupied by the new United States postoffice, erected in 1937.

Because of the amount of revenue derived from the printing plant, the postoffice is first class, receipts being $432,774.39 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943. "The old college chapel building i.s owned and occupied by the Kable News a newsstand distributing company of which S. J. Campbell, Mt. Carroll, is president.

He i.s now a lieutenant commander in the United States navy. On the northeast corner of the campus is a memorial erected by the American legion in 1926 to the veterans of World War I. It is built of stones from all over the United Slates with the names of the donors engraved on the stones. Kable Rrothers "The period of mechanized or specialized industry can be said to have started in Mt. Morris in 1898 with the advent of Kable brothers ir.to tlie printing business, or at least that was the beginning when the local newspaper, the Mt.

Morris Index, was purchased by two boys, Harvey and Harry Kable. From this humble beginning lias grown what is today the largest printing business west of Chicago, and only a vevy few in the entire country equal or exceed it in size or in volume of business. There are some 800 men and women employed by this company, winch has an annual pay roll of well ovei 1 one million dollars, In 1 'in seasons almost $40,000 a week. Kabla Biotheri engaged in Sptakffr at Dtocormt Comnwnctmtnt Dr. David I.

Berger, of Coe college, guest speaker at commencement In First English Evangelical and Reformed church tomorrow night at I o'clock. the business of printing magazines, catalogues and books. The magazines are of a wide variety, fraternal, religious, industrial, agricultural as well as those for labor unions, humor and picture magazines and movie magazines. During the past four years a large volume of business has been developed in the seed catalogue field, two of the largest being for Condon and Shumway of Rockford as well as for many other prominent seed and nursery businesses in the middle west. The Kable Brothers company offices for this line of business are located In St.

Joseph, Mich. Also portions of the spring and fall catalogues for Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward and the Chicago Mail Order company are printed by the rotogravure method of printing, Installed in 1937. Also from time to time, large orders for the government printing office are produced, the last one being for 5,000,000 copies. There have been similar jobs and more are in the making, which in one way or another have direct bearing on the progress of the war. The plant itself is a city block square and consists of many departments, sales and general offices, other offices being in Chicago and New York in addition to St.

Joseph, Mich. Dominates Community Life "It is not difficult to understand why a business of this size in a town of 2,500 people dominates the life of the community as it does and why the pulse of its business life Is quickened by the prosperity and fortunes of this enterprise. "In times past and in the present, Mt. Mortis has been particularly fortunate in having men who were devoted to her interests and her welfare, such men as A. W.

Brayton, Harvey Kable, A. H. Rittenliouse and a host of others. If I may say so, ancLI think I may without causing embarrassment, the two men who came with me from Mt. Morris today, Mr.

Kable and Mr. Watt, are men of wide and varied interests who have given much of their time and their thought to the betterment and improvement of the town. "To me, it is just this that produces the American way of life as we like to think of it "in times of peace. If we can maintain and support the small towns and villages as the firm foundation of the American way, then we need have but little fear for our state and national government, certainly not if we ail do our full share a.s it is given to us in our own community every day." Freeport Camera Club Plans Monthly Exhibits During Fall and Winter The Freeport Camera club, now in its third year, is planning an ambitious fall and winter season, a principal feature to be monthly exhibits of fine prints.
