Enjoying Good Patronage.

Mr.. J. L. Gale has been one of
the busiest men in Willmar the
past week. The news that he is
handling Kushion Komfort shoes
has become generally known and
he's receiving lots of callers at the
office and sample room at j. c..
Dale's grocery store. That's where
he is showing and selling Kushion
Komfort shoes to men and women
who want the proper kind Of foot
ware. Kushion Komfort shoes never
fail to satisfy such people for they
are delighted with the advantages
they offer. The patented cushion
cork insole rests on bed of anti
septic felt, giving perfect ease to
the foot. The damp-proof, iron
wear, oak outsole protects it
against cold wet walks. The
cushion heel and the steel arch sup
port are two other features that
will be highly appreciated by any
one who has had trouble in get
ting shoes of the right kind. If
you are unable to visit Mr.. Gale.
write to him for an illustrated
booklet.

Famous Pianist COMING.

Regarding Gustavus Johnson, di-
rector of the Johnson School of Mu-
sic, as an interpreter of Grieg's
music, the Minneapolis Journal has
the following to say.
To Gustavus johnson, an artist
who for three decades, at least, has
been a champion of Grieg's music,
fell the task of honor to represent
the pianistic side of the latter's
creations. Never have we heard
Mr.. johnson play with such feeling
or perfection as when now lovingly
and with deep understanding rem
dering the famous Mountain
Tune" ''The Bridal Procession
Passes," and From the Carnival"
from the suite ''Pictures of Popu-
lar Life" One seldom hears
Grieg's carnival music rendered
with such skill and animation.
Mr.. johnson will appear in Will
mar at the Seminary hall on Friday
evening. November 5th, in a piano
recital. Every lover Of good music
ought to make it point to hear
this talented artist. The admission
to the recital is only IS cents for
adults and Is cents for children.

ca. It happened this way. The
Union Carnival was on at the Uni
versity, and grand show was to
close the festivities Saturday even
ing. Everything was in readi-
ness when the Carnival police re-
ported that the Wild Man had gone
back to the jungles, and that even
rubber-tired steak from the Col
lege Inn had failed to tempt him
out again. That left the commit
tee in a bad stew as it were, and
using its committeeistic prerogative
it ordered Maurice to take to the
woods and return like unto a ma
tive from Borneo. The going
part of it had no terrors for Mau-
rice, and he arrived home several
hours ahead of the Great Northern
Flyer. But he found the woods so
pleasant that he forgot to return
in time, and thus it happened that
the . Union CarnivalPs menagerie
was minus it's chief attraction.
We shudder to think If what hap
pened when the committee finally
caught the should-have-been wild
man! Still it is barely possible
that he got out of it by saying that
he was ''unavoidably detained" by
taking in a missionary for dinner.
We hope so.
