To the voters of Willmar:-The sa-

we sincerely ask you to vote right,
vote against the saloon. We plead
this case for our friends, for our sous,
our brothers, our fathers, and rela-
tions. We plead for the sorrowing
mothers and the weeping sisters. We
plead for right and humanity; do vote
against license. Don't add another
stone to the burden of the bereaved
mother who has spent So many Sleep
less nights and wet her pillow through
with tears so many times for a drunk
en- husband or q wayward son. Ask
the good true mother if she will take
all the saloon money Willmar will get
for license, for her boy, and she will
answer; II will not take the whole
world for him. Now, how many
have Willmar voters ruined, and how
many more will you ruin by voting
for license?

u; File Your A Affidavit in Tine.

The statutes provide for a reduction
of the road taxes for those who use
continuously wide tire wagon, and
though the amount is small, it is
worth looking after. Section l, chap
ter 342, of the general laws OF 1895 pro-
vides:
"That any person who shall contin-
uously use in and about the transac-
tion of his business any wagon or
wagons, the tires of which are not less
than three inches in width, shall be
entitled to reduction from the an
nual road tax in the road district in
which he resides of the sum of 81 for
each and every such wagon used.
Provided that such reduction shall not
exceed the amount of his road taxes. -
By making an affidavit setting forth
the facts and fling the same with the
town clerk before April l you will be
entitled to the reduction above pro-
vided for, the only expenses being the
ten cents which you pay the clerk for
filing the same.-Chippewa Co. Herald.

Saloons or No SaloonS7
Editor of the TRIBUNE:

Editor of the TRIBUNE:
1t may be unwise for q farmer to Of
Ter word of suggestion to the citizens
OF Wlllmar with all their schools and
churches. But in hope these words
may cause one or more to more care
fully weigh the result of the ballot to
be cast in the near future, I beg for q
space in your paper. You have pro-
vlded educational facilities for your
children and built churches in which
the Word of God is preached.
Can it be that anyone should be so in
consistent as to have his children in
structed of the evil effects of the use
OF alcoholic liquors upon the human
system and also cast his vote to sane
tion the spread of this dreadful evil
under the protecting wing of law.
There are enough hearts that have
bled and are bleeding from sorrow
caused by this evil. Let us have no
more of this misery.
For the welfare of your sons and
daughters do NOT vote for the saloon
that your heart may not be rent by
grief of having been one of the pro-
mOters of institutions which caused so
many to fall into shame and disgrace.
You know it. You have heard the
story so many times. It is the same,
repeating itself every day. Will you
vote against this evil or not?
If any one should be convinced that
the saloon traffic adds to the welfare of
your village and therefore vote the "a
looms, may such person be spared
from being himself lost in the mael-
strOm.
1 most humbly ask you, do NOT
vote for saloons.
