with but a faint idea of the effect
of the first ride over the road in an
automobile. In experienced as we
were, we looked for fine ride, but
it was not long till we looked for a
chance to get our hands clutched
fast to anything available. Taking
a glance at the situation, l could
see Syverson displaying a coat tail
like monster turkey over a piece
of red flannel, and with peculiar
expression on his features like a

at schedule time very promptly in
the care of F. F. Nelson in his au-
tomobile. Their singing and
speeches on the burning question of

were eagerly listened to by a fair
audience. A collection was taken
up, after which the party again left
for Willmar.

young people worthy nation under
the protection of the stars and
stripes, fighting manfully for the
maintenance of our star spangled
banner, we must not get tired in
our aim and work for the temper.

child, every father and mother must
eagerly take hold of the good cause
OF temperance. The temperance
work is the child's fortifcation
against drunkenness, idleness and
the vagabondism of the city slums.
We are indebted to the Tribune
editor for bunch of fine posta'
