Inc lead was snort uVe0 In00gn as
with less than q minute left to play
Taylor got loose from his man, and
on a long pass from Carlson, he shot
the basket putting his team in the
lead. The game was by far the fast
est and toughest ever seen here al
though at one time in the first half
it looked as if the locals would win
by large score.
For the visiting team Way and Nc
Keon at forwards were the indiyid-
| Iual stars. The former is probably
the fastest man on his feet that has
ever played in Willmar. Simms had
a lot Of trouble following Taylor in
the 1st half, but stuck little bet
ter in the second period. Straite and
Nordin did great work on the defense
and the latter was especially effec-
tive in advancing the ball.
For Willmar every man on the team
played at his best, Carlson and Tay-
lor divided the scoring honors, each
securing six baskets from the field.
Swenson secured one basket and
shot five fouls.
Owing to the fact that aHank"
johnson has badly injured hand,
Branton started the game at right
forward. This was his first chance
to start game and he played good
ball, securing one field basket and
holding his man to one also.
About the middle Of the last half
johnson went in. Nordstrom played
a great game at guard, especially in
the last half, he held his man and
broke up long passes.
Next Saturday evening. it is prob
able that the interclass tournament
will be held to determine the class
championship Of the school.
i It is also probable that another
city team will be brought out to play
here again during the season and
possibly a return game can be played
in the city.
The lineup was as follows:

BRYAN, AT HAYS.

Last Monday evening William J.
Bryan spoke at the Chautauqua,
which'is in session at Hays, to over
three thousand people, his subject
being the Making of a Man, Mr..
Bryan came from Russell where he
had addressed big Chautauqua as
sembly in the afternoon. He looked
tired and warm and his voice showed
the wear and tear of his strenuous
lecture tour. Mr.. Bryan opened his
lecture with a brief description of
the two conventions at Chicago and
Baltimore and in his characteristic
manner of handling political subjects
brought many smiles To the faces of
his vast audience. He was very
tOlerent in his veins and modest in
assuming the credit of the defeat of
the Clark faction at Baltimore. Mr.
Bryan is profound speaker and
leaves something in the minds of his
hearers that gives food for thought
and his humor and witticism always
carry a point that is worth while. Mr..
Bryan spoke well and favorably of
western Kansas and paid a tribute
to his staunch supporters in Ellis
county, who have stood by him in
every tight, OF course it was an easy
task for Mr.. Bryan to speak to a
crowd that numbered four to one
Democratic for sympathy was with
him, over in Missouri, Champ Clark's
neighborhoOd wouldn't allow the
Chautauqua managers to send him to
I'LL his dates, so after all it depends
nightly whether the fellow gets in
the right pew or not. But William
j. Bryan Is great speaker, a good
man, and believes in the principles
which he SO earnestly advocates but
he is on the wrong side of the fence.
The people of this part of the country
were glad of an opportunity to hear
him and gave him rousing welcome
and standing room in the great tent
could scarcely be secured. He left on
the midnight train for points east.

Midsummer Offerings

Last Sabbath the 9th of July the
Seven Day Advent people met at the
usual place at the regular hour for
worship. The Sabbath school was
well attended, the lesson for the day
was Prayer Answering. How encour-
aging to know that the true god, not
only hears prayer, but answers our
petitions. As this was the day for
our midsummer offerings, for sup
porting our missionaries in foreign
land. A few reports were read show
ing how God prepared the way for
his everlasting salvation. After that
the Offering was taken, all were in
terested to add little to this good
work, quite a liberal sum was raised
considering the situation in this part
of the country. After Gods blessing
was asked for, TO go with this gift,
we separated with the assuring that
it is great blessing to have a little
part in bringing the gospel of the
Kingdom, to the world in this gener-
alton. L. H.

To the Voters of Trego County.

l wish to say a few words through
the columns of the World to the
voters of TregO county, in behalf of
my candidacy for the nomination for
reelection to the office of Clerk of
the District Court.
1t has been my earnest endeavOr
and pride since my election to dis
charge the duties of the Office in a
plain, straightforward and credit
able manner, so that at any and all
times my records could be inspected
and found up to date. 1t is true that
one unfamiliar with the work cannot
do this at the beginning in as clear
and mprehenSiYe n way as can be
done after the laws and customs
governing the work are understood,
for this reason can assure the public
much better and more efficient
service than l could at the beginning,
for as we are all aware there are new
problems continually coming up and
past experience always helps to solve
them.
The same business rule should ap-
ply in hiring public servant as to
our private business. In our private
hiring of help we would not discharge
person who had done the work we
had assigned him as we had directed.
1t would be an error and contrary to
our better judgment if we should do
so, l have at all times enGeavored to
extend, to all alike, whatever favors
they were seeking that were consis-
tent with the office. | have never,
during my terms, engaged in, or in
any way associated myself with any
other line of business, but have given
my Office my undivided attention,
and will promise, if nominated and
reelected to continue the duties of
the office in the future as the past to
the best of my ability.
/ mention the above facts for the
benefit of those who have not had oc-
casion to transact business with the
Office during my occupancy.
Thanking you for your liberal sup
port in the past and trusting that l
may have a continuance on August
9th, / am,
Very respectfully,
G.. E. RIDGwAY

The Primary Election.

The primary election to be held
next Tuesday is the most important
election held this year. To be sure,
1t IS only nominating election but
if only good and capable candidates
are selected we are reasonably sure to
elect good and capable officers next
November. If the candidates selected
next Tuesday are not all that
class of persons we run the risk of
electlng incompetent or untruSt-
worthy officers later on. The primary
is also. important in ansther way
The candidates selected next Tues
day expect to be elected to office
right here at home-not thousand
miles away. They are the persons
who will have charge of local public
affairs. They are the persons with
whom we shall have. to do business
during the next two years. Where
one citizen sees a president once in a
lifetime, dozen may have business
with governor or congress man, but
hundreds come in almost daily
contact with county and township
officers A change in the presidency
VIII not mako five cents difference to
the average citizen. Local taxes
mean dollars, sometimes hundreds of
dollars, and these are levied, collect
ed diSbursed by local forces In our
excitement over the supposedly big.
away-oH things let us not forget
local matters, and finally, if we stay
from the primary and have a bum
bunch put over on us, we have no
one to blame but ourselves. Attend
the primary and vote your Judgment
or forever hold your peace.

Senator Curtis a Friend of Western
Kansas

For. years the people of western
Kansas have been deeply interested
in the irrigation question and have
been trying to determine the best
method of irrigating in that section.
Last fall a number of the people
presented the question to Senator
Charles Curtis and he visited every
cection of western Kansas except two
pounties, and he corresponded with
teople who knew tile condition in
shose counties.
Upon his return to Washington he
presented the data he had gathered
10 the officers of the Geological Survey
and found them ready and willing to
help and the officers of the Agricul-
tural Department were also willing
to do what they could.
Senator Curtis proposed two amend
ments, one to the Agricultural
Appropriation bill and after hearing
the Senator, the Committee on Agri
cultural agreed to his amendment
authorizing and directing the Agri-
cultural Department to investigate
and report upon the feasibility of
irrigating in western Kansas by the
reservoir plan
But the people seem to be now
deeply interested in securing infor-
nation as to the best methods of II
rigation from the underflow; and
Senator Curtis offered an amendment
al iii CNO4Aie IiiC OCOAOSA-
cal Survey to make an investigation
and report upon the extent OF the un
dertiow and the best methods of us
ing it for irrigation purposes. The
Senate committee on Appropriations
incfeased the general appropriation
fOrs this work TO the extent OF SO.
10000, the amount covered by Mr..
Curtis amendment, and it is hoped
that the House will agree to the
amendment
senator Curtis says from. the ex-
maination lie made he is sure that
the. underf1ow in western Kansas is
inexhaustible and the members of
the Survey say with the data they
have on hands it will take them long
to make the investigation and report.
In this matter Senator Curtis
followed his usual course, that of
securing Information from a personal
investigation so he could properly
present the question to the COM
mittee
