FARMERS ELEVATOR MEETING
AT PENNOCK NEXT TUESDAY

The farmers of Pennock are agi-
tating the question of organizing a
Farmers Elevator company t 20
erect grain house at that .bustling
little village. Mr.. j. P. Larson is
taking the lead in the matter of
calling a meeting to be held next
Tuesday. Feb. 9, beginning at
O'Clock, at Pennock. It is hoped
that all the farmers living tributary
to Pennock will be promptly on
hand to discuss this important pro-
ject, and take such action as they
deem necessary. New Farmers
Elevator companies are being or
ganized everywhere, and with COM
petent management they always
prove of vast benefit to the grain
growers. The action at Pcnnock is
not taken from any particular ami
mostly or ill-feeling toward the old
established grain houses there, but
the farmers feel that such move
ment is in line with the true devel-
opment of the interests of the farm
ers of that locality, and they fee!
that they should look after their
own interests particularly. and take
full advantage of the benefit which
comes from intelligent co-opera-
tion.

The WORK OF INSTALLING new
GYMNASIUM AT WILLMAR IS ON

The paraphernalia for the GYM
nasium Of the WiIlmar Athletic
club is now under way, and it is
thought that within a week or ten
days everything will be in readiness.
A force of men is now busy screen
ing the windows at the hall and
putting in the bathing fixtures.
The club will fill a long felt want
in this city. Nothing is so neces-
sary as good health, and nothing
will insure good health like proper
exercise. For this reason it is to
be hoped that every young man in
the city will take advantage Of the
opportunity now about to be pre-
sented to him. Exercise means
health, health means success, the
thing that every worthy young man
is striving to attain.

just the same, but before it was
over the principal appeared and Sc
cured the names of all the students
who were present. On Friday af-
ternoon they were called into the

count for their insubordination.

the guilty ones were told to go, but
later, by signing a written apology,
fourteen of them were reinstated,
