Final Vote on Governor.

The total vote ON governor ait the
recent Republican primary was 1884,
067, of which Eberhart had 62,4O2,
Falk $3.50; Gordon 1927; Lee 49,
ST.; Spoorer 1928; Young 30,398.
There were less than ONE fourth of
the voters who used their second
choice privilege only on 40,3O8. By
the process Of elimination Gov. Eber-
harris final vote was 66,557 and Lees
49,113, which gives the governor IT,
444 majority over Lee. What would
have happened if all the voters had
voted second choice is hard to tell,
but without Falk and Spooner in the
race Lee would have been am easy
winner Now watch and see what
happens to Falk and Spooner and
possibly also some of the other can

Having been appointed pastor of First
Methodist church, by Bishop Quayle, for
the fourth year, we wish to express our
gratitude to the people of Willmar, for
their hearty cooperation with us in the
past, which has made progress possible,
and secured for this church permanent
place among the forces of this city, that
speak for it's upbuilding and welfare.
We are glad to greet the many friends
(who are neither members or attendants
of our church) that have assisted in the
redemption Of this property, and to
make the following statement, that they
may know, that their help is apprecia-
ted and not in vain.
From three members (three years
ago. we have advanced to eighty men,
bers, with one hundred and thirty-f1ve
enrolled in Sunday school. Other de-
partments are in good working order,
and there is no debt: against the church.
While the work seems small, as COM
pared with many others, and we are still
in the struggle Of beginnings, all who
are constantly helping, may feel that the
failures of the past, (of this church)
are safely over, and that the future is
assured.
The church belongs to the city and
people, and we are here to serve the
same
We are not blowing our horn" we
are but acknowledging our gratitude to
all.
Willmar has many friends turnout the
state, who gladly make known every
where, it's unique advertisement: Fine
schools, homes, churches, and NO SAL
OONS! which demonstrates it's super
iority over all other cities of it's size in
Minnesota.
The Methodist church is proud to be
a part of a community in which the
moral as we'll as financial and social
welfare is considered. 1t is our desire
to share in the burdens as we'll as the
benefits Of the community.

unto the Lord for it; for in the peace
thereof, shall We find peace"

Vaccinate Your HoRs,

DR.. Wanner Of Willmar called our at
tention to the hog cholera item Of last
week in which appeared the following
statement: "Strange that science has
not disco:ered some remedy to check
this disease" Mr.. Wanner informs us
that a remedy was dicovered sometime
ago and that it is vaccination. He says
that vaccination will cure 80 per cent
of hogs afflicted with this disease If
treated in time. If this is the case and
we know it is for we have published
this vaccination cure several months
ago but had forgotten all about it, eve
ry farmer whose hogs are afflicted
should promptly call in veterinarian
surgeon as the cost Of vaccination is
small compared to the loss Of hog

"Didn't Know It Was Loaded"

While fooling with gun last Sun
day afternoon, Sigurd Susag, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Susag, aged about 16
years, was shot in the left hand and
left knee, by a companion who didn't
know it was loaded"
The boys had been hunting at Shall
low pond, and both supposed the gun
was empty. Sigurd was holding the
gun by the muzzle, when his companion
picked up the butt of the gun and asked
him if he would shoot. Sigurd, certain
the gun contained no shell, said "let 'er
CO., and he did, The shell was explo-
ded, making an ugly wound in the palm
Of Sigurd's hand. The shots, all but
three or four, then passed thru his left
leg, just above the knee.-Glenwood-
