The Spicer correspondent to the
Willmar Republican Gazette made an
uncalled for and Hbelous attack. on
the young man who umpired. the ball
game played at Spicer two weeks ago
between the Willmar and: Kerkhoven
ball clubs. The article in question
appeared in last weeks issue of the
Gazette and those of our people who
Witnessed the game are unanimous in
pronouncing 1t wholly untrue, and say
that in their opinion the umpire gave
the Wil]mar aggregation q shade the
best of it. Our ball team does not
have to be favored by the umpire in
order to win from any aggregation of
ball players in this part of the state
and if the Willmar SAIL Stars" are
not yet convinced of that fact they
should come up here some afternoon,
where there is a good ground to play
on, and have another game with the
boys. If they do we'll guarantee that
the s"R" column on their score card
will show enough goose eggs to make
about three sittings of three. -Kerk-

School boards are often troubled with
cases of this kind. Teachers accept a
position in order to shave an anchor

go to work to hunt up better places.
It would be just as honorable in
school boards to hire teachers and
then discharge them if they could get
another at lower wages. The board
cannot do this, however, because the
discharged teacher could collect her
wages anyway. But there is no law
to compel asteacher, held against her
