WiIImar Wins Hard Game,

Last Friday evening in the open.
ing basket ball game Of the season
the local high: school team defeated
the team from Grove City by a score
Of :24710. =,
Grove City seemed out to win thai
game by fair means or foul, and the
result was that they fouled alright
az fouls being called on them), but
they failed to win and were licked
decisiyely. Outplayed in every de-
partment Of the game, they never had
a chance after the first three or four
minutes.
Willmar was the first to score,
"Hank" Johnson shooting pretty
basket from the middle Of the field
Baskets by. Carlson and Taylor and
fouls by Swenson brot the total up
to IL. The score at the end of the
first half was IL to 4. In the second
half the locals worked harder than
ever end completely outclassed the
visitors.
Only. fair sized crowd was in at
tendance at the game. The high
school team is practicing faithfully
during vacation and should be in fine
shape for the games which come af.
ter school opens. The team will prob
ably go to Granite Falls the Friday
after school opens and Litchfield
comes here next. Then Delano and
Granite Falls play here and then the
team makes a trip playing Litchfeld
February 23rd and Delano February
24th. Then follow the most bitterly
fought games Of the season, those
with the Seminary, March LIST and
10Th. This schedule, with the poss.
ible addition Of q game with some
team from Minneapolis, like that Will
".The White Flyers" last year, should
furnish plenty Of excitement during

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Winds Victims Among Every Race,
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases Of the skin and
scalp which torture and disfgure man
kind. three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and 1t
~ the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
secting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious,
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and IL
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
alled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture.
One OF the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings OF Cuticura oint-
ment. For more than a generation.
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms OF eczemas, rashes.
feelings and irritations OF the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith In
everything may make trial of them

MICE INJURE
FOREST TREES
Little Rodents Gnaw Bark Of Ca

Frequently Results In a

GBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE1

For some years catalpa. mulberry
and other trees commonly grown have
suffered considerable injury by the
attacks of field mice. These rodents
gnaw the bark about the base of the
trees TO n greater or less degree. which
frequently results in a complete cir
die. When girdling occurs below the
root crowns the trees usually die.
There are no practical means of ex
terminating field mice. although Ger.
tain operations are helpful in prevent
ing their attacks on trees. II has been
observed that injury is greater and
more general when dead grass. mulch
or debris of any kind lies close to the
trees. Material of this nature affords
a harboring place, from under which
cover mice prefer to operate. All
grass or mulch material of any kind
should be raked away from the trees
for a radius of at least two feet, leav'
ing the ground as bare as possible
Where mulch culture is used a foot or
two above each tree should be left
bare. Injury is more severe on those
trees whose root systems set forth on

The grower of Strawberries is more
sure of a good annual profit from
strawberries than from almost any
other crop. because Strawberries are
the hardest, as well as the best. of
all fruits: and it does not require any
more labor to grow strawberries OF
high quality than it does to grow veg
etabIes of the same class.
In the growing of strawberries. you
have practically no plant enemies-in-
sects or fungi-to combat, providing
you follow up-to-date methods. Rota-
ton of crops. fall blowing. thorough
and repeated cultivation, strong.
healthy plants. moving off the foliage
and burning Immediately after the
last picking. are the things which may
make spraying unnecessary.
Crop rotation is a necessity with
any kind of farming II encourages
a healthy and productive condition
OF the soil.
Fall blowing discouraSes all kinds
Of underground insect, such as the
white grub. root-maggot and wire
worm
Thorough cultivation keeps down
weeds and all obnoxious growths,
which if allowed to grow. would af-
ford breeding and alternating place
for insects.
Strong. healthy plants insure YOU
against such enemies as the crown
