The STREET FAIR
HAS MADE GOOD
(From last FRIDAYS Specially
(From last Fridays Special

The Ninth Annual Street Fair has
made good. The free attractions
are the best ever seen at Willmar
and the enormous crowds are
pleased and speedily become imbued
with the joyous carnival spirit. 1t
is estimated that fully fifteen thou
sand people were in the city yester-
day. and today's crowds will exceed
that. Tomorrow promises to be
one Of the big days also.
The exhibits are the finest ever
seen at Willmar. Had the horti-
cultural exhibit that is now shown
here been placed at the state fair,
Kandiyohi county would have had
the finest exhibit on the grounds
without any doubt. Don't fail to
see these exhibits. Going from the
pike one may pass through the
horticultural, agricultural and poul.
try exhibits through the block and
cross Benson avenue into the art
exhibit. Today the cattle exhibits
will be shown on Litchfe]d avenue,
between Fifth and Sixth street,
near the marble works and city
power house.
We publish in other columns
brief mention of the art exhibit
and the poultry show, but are un.

To the School Patrons:

l herewith submit my annual re-
port for the year ending July 81,
1909. Your special attention is
called to the percentage of attend
ance on the different school dis
tricts. It is in the attendance where
the greatest improvement in the
schools of our county can now be
made. Although there has been
marked increase in the attendance
the last two years we are still be-
low the average in the state. It is
largely on account of such irregular
attendance in former years that
the new compulsory education law
may seem hardship to some.
It should be noticed that the at
tendance in the common schools was
only 1913 per cent on the average.
It means that 40.7 per cent of the
school year was lost by non-attend-
ance. The people of this county
the last year spent the magnificent
sum of $40, ,817.36 for maintaining
the common schools, but 4O.7 per
cent of that amount or $50. .375. &c
was wasted as far as the children

GAMBLING BY MAIL

w E have the honor to acknowledge
wv with considerable disgust
mingled with curiosity the re-
ceipt of a weekly market letter sent by
a firm Of New York mining stock
brokers. This letter contains such ex-
plicit instructions as to how to get rich
quickly that we are tempted to heave
our trusty typewriter (the machine,
not the LADY, out of the window and
sally forth to the curb to be a broker.
We thank our New York friends for
the simple language in which they have
worded their instructions. Their letter
reads like No. of a course of gambling
by mail, and, faith, maybe it is. With
out naming the companies Qor that
would be giving away secrets and per-
haps assisting some of our readers to
get rich with such mad haste they
would never forgive us) let us quote
the remarks appended by our good
friends of Gotham to the list of active
curb stocks: "A good speculation
May sell lower" ''Will soon be
cheap" Down again." Buy now, If
ever" Strike reported" "Out of
sight, High enough" "A good one;"
BUY for a pull" 'Reasonable;"
Looks high yeti" buy on this
break" Good one, buy it," "Manipu-
lated;'' "Will sell lower" Advancing"
Public is selling;" Unsupported"
Very cheap, buy IT." Cheap as dirt;"
"Shut down." Probably worth it,"
Price about right" win retrieve
later" "Reasonable;" Cheap" Sell
IT, Coming around" "Take your loss
quickly" ''Off again." plug is OUT"
"a sluggard;" "SeIl IT." "Will sell
lower;" Worth So" big mine now,
buy it," Bucket shops delight" "Op-
ton not exercised 'Will sell at 81
soon."
We confess we are much edified by
all this advice, and when we go a-gam-
bling will desire no better chart.
We are interested by the information
concerning the gambling kings which
is contained in the first paragraph Of
the letter. which We quote:

HOMES FOR WOMEN

A PUBLISHED article pleading for
u suitable homes for working wom-
- en- fell fiat, complains a CORE
spondent. She adds: THE homes sug-
gested were homes where working
women might live in safety, and at the
same time have a little of the sunshine
of the social life" She goes on to say
women are being neglected or ignored.
We admit women have a just cause for
grievance when they reflect that they
have had more to do than men with the
upbuilding of the American republic,
and yet are not allowed to have a d.
rect voice in the affairs of nation
which owes more to It's womanhood
than any other nation owes.
From the earliest days of the United
States women have exercised an infiu-
ence in the national life greater than
the influence exercised by the women
of any other nation. Not one of our
great men has failed, at some time or
another in his career, to express pub
licly his gratitude to his mother for
the education and training she gave
him, and the influence she exerted over
his career. Many a proud American
mother has been able to sit back in
life's cleaning and say, as plaudits for
her distinguished boy came to her:
They think they are cheering him;
but. in reality, they are cheering me-"
Many an American woman's ideal of
what noble, patriotic life should be
has been exemplified in her sons life.
A man is sometimes called a self-made
man, when in reality he is a mother
trained man, and is what he is because
she made him what he is. Since the
nation issunder such heavy obligation
to its women, why should there be any
reluctance on the part of manly men
to acknowledge the Importance of
womanly women in the life and pros
perity of the United States? There
should be homes for working women,
and plenty of them, in every big city,
and they should be HOMES, not lin
stitutions."

BLAMEs FATHERS FOR TREND
OF AMERICAN BOYS MINDS

LOS ANGELES, May 5.-LEditor
Herald: Observer thinks he sees the
trend of the average boys mind be-
cause of a Tag day incident. If the
boy knows more about a prize fighter
than he does about Admiral Evans or
Mr.. Fairbanks 1t is only a case of
cause and effect. Has Observer locat-
ed the cause? Why blame the boy for
being an index of his surroundings? ?
Let Observer use his observation on
men, whose example molds the char
acter of the boy. Let him take note
of the average man who opens his
newspaper on the street car and see
which page claims his first attention
when prize fight is reported in de-
tail. The average boy being but a
barometer of the age in which he lives
knows the market value of Jim Jeffries'
name and drives his bargain after the
manner of his elders.
Former President Roosevelt, a ma
TONS idol, to give vent to the manly
spirit within him, goes back to the
jungle and after the manner of the
primitive man slaughters Gods crea-
lures for pleasure. The papers give
daily bulletins Of so many having
given up their lives as a tribute to his
manly valor. Does Observer think this
lesson is lost on the average American
boy? The principal of schools of an
eastern city recently recommended
the removal of women teachers be-
cause their influence on the boy pupils
had tendency to make "mollycoddles'
of them instead Of giving to the world
vigorous, manly men. How many
prize fights does Observer think those
boys would need to attend to counter
act the influence of those women
teachers?
Christians worship the gentle and
lowly Nazarene, and centuries have
thrown a halo around the tragedy of
his death at the hands of an angry
mob, but were he alive today and liv-
ing the humble life he did on earth he
would probably be called a molly
coddle" and few men would feel any
interest in him, and were he penniless
the writer doubts his being able to
travel on foot as far as San Jose with
out being arrested and put to work
on the chain gang as a vagrant. For
the question is seldom asked, "Is
man good, is he honest, has he lived
right toward his fellowmen;" the ALL
important question is, How much is
he WORTH"
Is it any wonder boys look with adj
miration on a prize fighter who can
get $4,000 American dollars for single
encounter in the Squared ring?"
