It is said that untruth travels fas-

true but truth crushed to earth

not eventually suffer any evil con-

against her by hooligans either at

Sock Social a Distinct Success.

The Sock social and entertain
ment given in the Sunny Side dis
trict last Friday evening, under the
auspices of the teachers, Misses
Daisy Sanderson and Frances Me-
Ian, was a distinct success in every
way. The program was interesting
thruout, and the sale of the socks,
ably conducted by Axel Johnson
added much to the enjoyment Of
the evening. The proceeds amount
ed to $35 and this will be spent in
purchasing needed supplies for the
school.
Among those who attended were
a number of Willmar people who
blew in in a tallyho and braved the
icy northwest zephyrs back "just
to show 'em they could do it,
The weather man tried hard to
make them think they had struck
the Cook-Peary reservation but he
didn't succeed. They all agreed
that the joke was on the weather

springing a number of warm yarns,
the frost did not bother much.

Just now and during the past few
months Wi(lmar has been the target
for the misrepresentation and abuse
of the literature sent out by the
brewing companies. Why? Because
there is no stronger argument than
a living concrete example. The
success of the no-license policy of
Willmar is shown up in every city
and village where there is a liquor
fight in the state and far beyond
the borders. That is why the brew
ing companies find it necessary to
try and misrepresent conditions at
Willmar. And that is why they

The choice must ever be in favor
of Righteousness, whether the alter

Then imagine the great virile

splendid work along missionary
lines. The Society. union Of them
