SOLDIERS ON A
COUNTRY hike
Four Companies of Regulars
Camp in Town Last Friday
On Way 10 Smelling.

The soldier boys of one of the
battalions of the 28th regiment u.
S. Infantry camped in Willmar Fri
day afternoon and night, while
marching thru on their way home
to Fort Smelling from Watertown.
Some of them were very foot sore
and weary, and for that reason did
not leave the camp, but a good
many Of them took in the town
from one end to the other. In the
evening a detachment attended the
moving picture theaters, where
they furnished a good deal of ex-
ira entertainment by singing the
songs which appeared on the screen
as we'll as those which occurred in
the incidental music.
Most Of the boys thought Will
mar was a pretty nice town, but
they couldn't understand why it
was dry. Not only could they find
no saloons, but they couldn't even
scare up a little accommodation. "
One of them ventured the assertion
that there must be loads of money
going out of town for booze. but
when he was told such was not the
case he shook his head. His SOL
dierlv mind could not fath0m If
otis queer. awful(y queer, was
all he could say.
Saturday morning, just as most
of Willmar citizens were turning
over for another nap, the bugle
called Uncle Sans warriors for an
other days march, and by the time
the first shops opened for business
the soldiers were already. on their
way to Grove City, their next stop
ping place.

The members of the summer
school held an extra session Friday
evening, but it was not to solve
study methods or solve any knotty
problems in pedagogy. The "pur-
pez of tn meetin" as Jeremiah
Jenkins so aptly put it, was to see
how far the school a'ams and their
invited friends could get away from
the daily grind of the summer
school. Judging from reports. they
got quite a ways-a good many of
them so far that they hadn't even
got back Saturday morning, Supt.
Porter wearing out a nice new
crayon in an attempt to put the
numbers of all the missing ones on
the blackboard.
But that's telling tales out of
school, which of course is against
the rule-and besides it is not re-
porting the party. For a party it
was. and a good one. There were
piano solos by Bertha Baisden and
Eleanor Eaton, and recitations by
Pearl Doucette and Harriet Matt
son, and after these had been en-
joyed, encores and all, the party
organized for ''spelling bee."
Just why it was a spelling bee the
reporter was unable to learn, but it
probably was because so many got
''stung." MANY" is not exactly
right. either, for all but one were
stung inside of As minutes. The
last one to fall victim was Aman-
da Synnerholm, Crescent" or the
moon in her last quarter being the
lace where she failed to shine.
That left Alice Mattson of Litch-
field the queen of the bee hive, and
she is going to try awfully hard to
remain in possession of her royal
robes till the end of the summer
school session.
| After the conclusion of the solid
entertainment. liquid refreshments
in the form of frappe were served
from a table in charge OF Miss Day.
This department, like Miss Days
Iprimary department. proved q most
popular one, everybody getting all
they could out of it. The remain
der of the evening-which remain
der, by the way, was very, very
small-was spent in games of vari.
GUS kinds, after which school was
dismissed with the injunction that
no one play hooky the following
day. Which compels US to close
this narrative with q reference tc
!; the reference made before to Super.
intendent Porter and his nice new
crayon.

MAKING PROGRESS
AS A WELL-GROOMED CITY.

The Public Improvement Com
mittee of the Commercial Club
made the second inspection of pri-
vate residence properties of the sea-
son last Friday, scoring for points
for the prizes offered by the Club
for the best kept premises in the
city. They noted a very great i'm
provement all over the city in the
matter of cleaning up premises and
the number who have been listed
in the contest now number over a
hundred. The task undertaken by
the committee is no small one, as
anyone can readily understand. If
there is anyone taking special pains
to keep up the appearance of their
premises and have any reason to be
lieve that their place has been over
looked by the committee, postal

berry. 20 for the backyard and &C
for general appearance. The per.
feet score for each Of the four trips
is S for each of the features. The
totals at the end of the season will
determine who draws the prizes,
which amount to $50 in cash. Of
this amount $40 will be given as q
general prize to all, and $40 will be
divided in prizes for those who
keep their premises by the efforts
Of their own family without the
aid Of a hired gardener.
The Tribune believes that it can
truthfuny be said that Willmar is
now one of the cleanest and most
beautifully kept cities in the North
west. People generally are begin
ming to realize the Importance of
neatly kept premises not only to
themselves but to their street and
to the general appearance of the
city. In the case of some neglected
boulevards the people living on the
street have contributed the neces-
sary amount to have the same
cleaned up so as not to have the
beauty of their street marred by
such neglect or carlessness.
The courthouse yard is q thing of
beauty and a joy to all beholders,
thanks to the efforts of and SUPER
vision of Sheriff Bonde, whose love
for beautiful flowers is as great as
his hatred of evil doing. The rail-
road park is kept neatly trimmed
under the constant care of the city's
park gardener, Mr.. Ole Gilberston.
