And, therefore, % the question, WHAT
would life be without government? there
would be but one answer = namely: that
there would certainly rot be all the evil
which is created by government There would
not be property in land, there would be no taxes
spent on things unnecessary for the people; there
would not be the separation Of the nations, the
enslavement Of some By others; there would
not be the waste OF the peoples best powers in
preparations for wars; there would not be the
fear Of bombs on the one side and OF galows
on the other; there would not be the insane

tuition of others.

Death of Alice N0rdloef

Alice Doris Josephine, the baby
daughter and only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Emil Nordloef, died at the
home of her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. H. O. Olson, last Friday
morning. She had been troubled
with the whooping cough for some
time and when on Thursday even
ing she was attacked by severe
case of brain fever the doctor knew
that there was no hope. Baby
Doris was only year and six weeks
old when death called her away.
The circumstances surrounding her
death were particularly sad. Mrs.
Nordloef and the baby came down
here from St: Cloud on tuesday of
last week, and on the same day
Mrs. Nordloef and her husband left
for Colorado in the hope that the
climate would prove beneficial to
Mrs. Nordloef's health. Since then
relatives here have received only
one card from them. and in spite of
all the efforts put forth here to
reach them, they have as yet not
been located. kilograms have been
sent to various places informing
them of their baby's death. but
they have all been returned here.
The remains of baby Doris were
buried on Monday afternoon at
Svea. services being conducted by
Rev. Peterson.

Observed Rally Day

The Presbyterian Sunday school
observed rally day last Sunday. The
auditorium was beautifully decor
ated with flags and flowers. A
Norwegian flag on one side Of choir
railing and a Swedish flag on the
other with a large United States
flag in the center. For over a
month the rally cry has been 300
in all departments and the report
showed 312 including cradle roll
and home departments.
There has been a marked increase
since the fall campaign opened. A
large mems bible class has been
organized with Prof. Tonning as
teacher. Also a woman's class with
Miss Louise Fancher as teacher.
The primary department has re-
ceived over 20 new scholars and are
using the new series of West-Min-
ster Beginners lessons which are
especially adapted to the child's
mind.
Other classes have been organized
making it possible to provide reli-
gious instructions for all who wish
to avail themselves of a thorough
course in bible study.

Nillmar Band Reoruanfzed.
The Willmar band was organized
IS a permanent organization last

The Willmar band was organized
as a permanent organization last
Monday evening. j. I. Otos was
elected director, Isaac Jorstad pres
ident. Oscar Hoagberg vice presi-
dent, and Herbert Feig secretary
and treasurer. The bands. will meet
at least once a week, and will at
once get ready and practice on con-
cert music, with a view of giving
public recitals during the winter.
Willmar people generally will be
very much pleased with the pros
pect of having a permanent band
organization. The city is large
enough and there is talent enough,
and there ought to be no question
about proper support. We firmly
believe the business people and all
other public-spirited citizens will
do all in their power to make the
organization a success. A band is
not only a source Of much enjoy
ment locally, but may also prove a
valuable factor in advertising the
city abroad. We understand the
boys find it difficult to secure a
suitable place for their regular
practices. This is a matter which
the Commercial club ought to look
after at once. 1t is out of the
question to have successful band
organization without suitable quar-
ters for rehearsals.

ssThe Girl and the Gayvk''

Many of the plays that are pre-.
sented on the stage today depend
upon exaggeration, dime novel
plots, blood and thunder, pistols.
explosions and sensational features.
To some extent this kind of drama
is successful because there are
people who enjoy it and who never
stop to consider the impossibility
of some of the plots. But those
who enjoy a clean, natural and
consistent play that is built around
pure heart story without any
blood-curdling situations, knock
downs and dragouts, will find a de-
lightful treat in witnessing "The
Girl and the Gawk," at the opera
house tomorrow, Thursday evening.

PUBLICITY RALLY
NEXT MONTH
Commercial Club will Seek TO
Advertise Advantages of this
County by Publicity Rally.
J. J. Hill and Others 10 be In
vited 10 Speak.

Inc publicity committee OF the
Commercial club was instructed last
night to arrange for publicity
rally at Willmar within the next
month, when some experts on the
problem Of inducing an influx of
desireable farmers to take up va
cant farms will be secured through
the state federation Of Commercial
clubs to make addresses. The pres
ent prices of farm lands in this vi
cinity are so low, quality and loca-
tion considered, that no better bar
gains can be had anywhere, and it
is thought that a meeting Of this
kind might give an impetus to
work done by the local real estate
men that would result in a general
benefit. It was suggested that the
Commercial clubs of neighboring
villages and cities be invited to par
ticipate in this affair. and also that
an invitation be extended to Pres.
j. j. Hill of the Great Northern to
be present at the meeting.
The report of the public improve
ment committee in regard to prizes
awarded for the most neatly kept
premises was accepted and payment
Of prizes ordered.
Another resolution repeating the
request to the city council that the
suit regarding the water level of
the lake be pressed to a conclusion
was adopted.
The lake and sewer questions
were discussed at some length.
Health Officer Rains expressed the
opinion that if something is not
done soon, the state authorities will
precipitate crisis by simply stop
ping the flowing of sewerage either
into the lake or ditch.
Among other routine business
transacted was the authorization of
a change of location of the club
rooms. The present rooms are
wanted as Office rooms by the
Northwestern Telephone company :.
The officers of the club have in view
a suite of rooms in the Larson
block which are thought will furn-
ish more roomy and otherwise de-
sireable quarters for the club.
This meeting of the Commercial
club last evening was we'll attended
in spite of the chilly weather. As
will be seen from the foregoing a
number of topics touching the well
fare and needs of the city were dis
cussed. These club meetings furn-
ish in a measure clearing house
for different opinions and views,
and citizens generally who are in
terested in the welfare of the city
can attend with profit to themselves
and benefit to the city.

Elements.
Charles Johnson was born at
Motala, Osterg0tland, Sweden, in
the year 1841. He came to Ameri-
ca in 1868; and is said to have
served the government fourteen
months during the Civil war. Af-
ter travelling about considerable he
came to the frontier settlements of
Kandiyohi county in 1868. He
struck out southwestward from the
Foot lake settlement and found a
claim that pleased him. which he
located on as homestead in June
1869. When the railroad reached
Willmar he did some work there,
being for some tt m employed as
clerk in the store of Shedd & Bun
ker, meanwhile holding down his
claim on the prairie, where he soon
located permanently and resided
until his death. This claim lay on
the old Granite Falls trail and in an
early day the post office of Croydon
was established with Mr.. Johnson
as postmaster. The name was that
of the home locality of his wife in
New Hampshire. Dec. 3, 1874, he
married Mrs. Lizzie A. Reed, a
widow, and their union was blessed
with four children, three sons. Frank
Edward and John who survive him
and one daughter, Mamie, who died
three years ago. Mrs. johnson died
in May. 1898.
Mr.. johnson took a very active
part in the public life of his town.
ship. He has filled at different
times nearly all the official positions
of the town, and his name will al
ways be found among the names OF
those who did anything in public
way for the township in the earlier
days. To the writer he furnished
much of the information for the
history of Edwards township, in
which his activities may to some
extent be traced. We remember
him as a most genial and hospitable
gentleman with whom we spent
some interesting hours. May his
ashes rest in peace, and his spirit
have gone to its reward in better
world.
The funeral took place last Fri
