for by the piece. The material
used is Canton flannel, Husking and

sizes mostly mems and boys, tho
some ladies' plain twill gauntlet
gloves are manufactured. Mr.. Rice
is always busy producing something
new in his line, and one Of his la

RICE'S NEW GLOVE FACTORY
AGROWING WILLDIAR INDUSTRY

Did you know that Willmar has
a factory producing each week 5000
cotton gloves and mittens, of 8
different kinds, consuming in the
same time about 1000 yards of
cloth, and giving employment to 81
people? Well, it has. It is locat-
ed at 800 Third street and has been
in operation since June l., when
Henry Rice & Company opened for
business. Thru the skillful man
agement of Henry Rice, one of
the youngest and most enterprising
ing of our business men, it has
grown steadily until the output has
become as mentioned above, and
the end is not yet for further in
crease in output as we'll as factory
improvements are being planned.
The territory where "Rice's Fa-
nous Brand' finds market ex-
tends from Yankton and Fargo on
the west to St. Cloud and Minnea-
polls on the east, and as there are
opportunities for further exten-
sion, the future of the factory
seems exceedingly promising.
The Tribune reporter paid visit
to the factory last Thursday to get
an idea about how it is done, and
it proved a most interesting expert
ence. The first one who has any
thing to do with the making of a
glove or mitten is the one who
handles the "die cutter" By
means of variously shaped dies he
cuts out Of the cloth the different
pieces necessary and gathers them
in dozen lots. Each glove has from

and burned. All that would not burn
was buried.
The repairing Of that house was sim
pier than it looked. 1t was a trihine
matter to renew the brckrxk floors. All
the floors were then painted and GOV
cred with rugs. Paint on the outside
OF the little house worked a transfor-
nation. 1t made d clean and cool eff
feet. The chimIeys had bricks out Of
them like teeth out of an old mans
mouth. A little dentistry with bricks
n2ed all that. Then two cans Of chin
ney paint made them look as GOOD as
new. The placing Of banisters about
the porches was easy and made
greater change than one could imagine,
All the work was done at odd times
and was really a delight. AS result
OF 1t, for trifiing outlay the "little
crooked house" is really a home. What
mansion is more?
The greatest result Of ALL however,
IS not seen in the building or the
grounds 1t is in the people. Nor does
it consist alone in the fact that the

Dan Booth is Sick.

A telegram was received here

nouncing that Dan Booth, formerly

fever and asking that a nurse be
sent out. AS a nurse could not be
secured here, W. D. Wiggins, his

Monday to secure one. Dan played
ball up in that country for some
time, but lately he has been in the

Four shrill blows of the fire

The blaze occurred at the home of

resulted. The department was

The Object Of Life.

What is the object Of life? "Happi-
ness," says one. Love- sighs anoth-
er. ITO do good" beams third. ''To
gain wealth." pants a fourth. ITO
achieve fame" shouts a fifth. '"To
find heaven" breathes a last. Each
Of these is good when rightly under
stood, and each has it's place. But
there is cne thing more. 1t is to grow,
to expand, to climb, to overcome-in a
word, evolution. God sows his image
in each OF us. and we grow and evolve
until this comes to flower and fruit in
the individual character. This is the
object Of life. 1t runs through all na-
ture. 1t animates the universe. It is
the divine law. That which does not
progress dies. There is no happiness
greater than that Of conscious improve
ment and unfoldment, than that of be-
coming stronger, wiser and better.
This is the lesson taught US by the
growing and blossoming world.
