TRIBUNE AUTO TOUR
THROUGH WILLMAR,

The Tribune Reliability Tour
passed thru here Friday afternoon
between. 1:3O and $3.50 O'Clock.
The members Of the party made no
attempt to keep together, each
driver determining his own speed.
The object of the tour is to prove
mechanical reliability and fuel and
fabrication economy, and for that
reason those who take part avoid
sensational runs for the most part.
Barring a strong gale blowing
directly from the west the weather
was favorable. A good deal of in.
terest was taken in the tour by
citizens in every town on the route,
and everywhere the tourists were
greeted by large turnouts. But
one unfortunate incident occurred
to mar the sport. Several miles or
the other side of Litchfeld boards
with nails had been laid across the
path and as result several tires
were punctured. For a stretch OF
seven miles between Atwater and
Kandiyohi citizens had taken upor
themselves the task of removing
stones in the road. but unfortunate.
ly another route had been selected
so the tourists could not benefit by
this thoughtfulness.
The tourists took dinner at Litch.
field and spent the first night al
Morris where they were entertained
by the business men. The tour ex
1ended thru Sisseton to Aberdeen
S. D. and return thru Ortonville
Montevideo and Granite Falls t
Minneapolis, distance of 662 miles
81 cars were entered in the contest
The run started Friday morning
and closed last evening.

Wilsmar High Defeated.

The high school boys suffered de-
feat at the hands of the St, Cloud
high school last Friday, the score
being % to 0. The fact that the
local boys were out weighed and a
deplorable tendency to tumble was
responsible for the defeat. The
boys are working hard to overcome
this weakness, and the team will
be considerably stronger when it
faces Litchtield here next Saturday
afternoon. This will be the first
fout ball game here this season
and it is to be hoped that there
will be a large turnout to give the
boys encouragement. An admis
sion of Is and Is cents will be
charged.

COUNTING A. SCORE.

Il Represents the Whole Man, Ten Fin.
gers and Ten Toes.
Twenty is called q score because It
represents the whole man, ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically it means
q cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or zone man." it was usual
to cut q notch in q stick and begin
again, and so it went on, one man, two
men, and so on. This is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now,
a tally (French taille, cut or nickedD
means an account kept by means of
notched stick, and until the end Of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as exchequer receipts, accom-"
panied by a written document. This
was also the usual way Of keeping &C.
counts in the inns Of the middle ages.
The number of drinks or meals Gus
toner had were scored against him on
what was called a tally stick, and
when it reached twenty, or whole
man." he was expected to pay. In
some English country inns scores are
still kept on slate, four chalk marks
and one across-tive-and four of these
make twenty, or a Observation-Disclosures
Gazette.

Devils LAKE PREPARES
R0USlNG WELCOME FOR
MlpRN a! H!ANsBRoudH

Devils Lake, N. D., June 24.-The
home. coming of former United States
Senator Hansbrough on Saturday is
to be made q memorable occasion in
Devils Lake. In the evening the SEN
ator will make the only political
speech he has made since his retire
ment from the senate, and he will
dwell upon conditions in North Da

the opera house, after which a re-

in the Commercial club rooms, when
and where his many old-time friends
will have an opportunity to visit with
their old friend and neighbor.
No man in public life has ever
done so much for Devils Lake as has
Senator Hansbrough. One of the
things he procured for this city. and
which has been completed since his
last visit here, is the handsome white
stone government building, which
graces the corner Of Fourth street
and Uline avenue, and IL easily the
most attractive building in the city,
and one in which every citizen of
the city takes pardonable pride.

CIVIC LEAGUE WORKS
With COMMISSIONERS

Grand Forks, N. D., June 24.-The
pure food committee of the CIVIC
league has been doing excellent work.
It has investigated the conditions sur
rounding the preparation and vend
ing of many of the food articles used
in this city. 1t has discovered many
defects, has called the attention OF
interested parties to them, and IN
very many cases has secured the will
ing cooperation Of the makers ana
vendors of goods, who were glad to
get in line with the pure food move
ment when the matter was brought
to their attention. In some cases 1t
has been necessary to bring some
pressure to bear, and this has been
done carefully and discreetly.
Already there are evidences OF in
movement. Food Is handled In a
more clearly manner. Goods are not
EXPOSED to dust and flies, as was the
old custom. Articles which were ex-
posed for sale in the open air, at the
risk of all kinds Of contamination, are
now kept under glass by many of the
merchants, and moro Of them a.
eouipping themselves with modern
sanitary appliances. The ladies OF the
committee have worked hard to bring
this about, and are to be congratulate
ed on their success.
Thus far the committee has worked
without funds, but some funds Will
be needed if the work is to be pushed
forward as it should be. Some sort
of regular inspection must be provid-
ed for. Some money could be very
profitably spent in carrying on WORK
of education among the people. II
the habits and customs of that filthy
and disgusting pest, the house fly,
could be brought home to every per-
son in the city, the fly problem would
not be a problem very long. To place
this information before the people In
such a way that it will be assimilated
will cost something. Other valuable
educational work could be carried on
if there were funds available for 1t.
For these reasons the committee
has decided to invite contributions
for the promotion of its work. The
plans at present do not involve per-
sonal solicitation, as 1t Is desired to
have the contributions come volun
tarily, and without even the appear
ance of pressure. The plan decided
on is to place contribution boxes In
a number of the business place of the
city, into which can be dropped the
offerings of those who choose to con
tribute Nickels, dimes, quarters. dol
lars or double eagles may be dropped
in, according to the ability and inter
est of the individual. Names may &C
company the Offering or not. as may
be preferred. There will he no pub
LEGATION of the names of contributors
but the amounts will be published
from time to time.
