acquitted themselves with credit
and the address by Rev. 7. A. Hof
of Wheaton, was helpful and in
spring. Prof. Alfred Peterson
presented the diplomas with a few
we'll chosen words of advice to the
graduates. The past year has been
very successful one for the Sem

1912 are most encouraging.

Red Cross Meets.

The Willmar Red Cross Society
held their June meeting on Tuesday
afternoon at the Commercial Club
rooms. The visiting nurse gave an
encouraging report and asked for
months vacation which request
was granted. In recognition of
her work as secretary by a unani-
nous vote Mrs. H. G. Meyer was
made life member of the society.
Bills were presented amounting to
$20.93 and the treasurer's report
showed $17. 90 in the treasury. The
attention of all interested in the
good work done by the society is
called to the fact that the treasury
is empty. Members of the society
who have not paid their 1911
dues are urged to hand the money
to the secretary Mrs. j. R. Petersen
at once and all who desire to see
the suffering helped and given a
chance for life are asked to lend a
helping hand. .' s5'
