St. Cloud is Defeated.

Last Friday afternoon the local
high school basket ball team defeat
ed the fast St. Cloud high school
team by the score Of 20 to Il. Will
mar was outweighed, but made up
for this in their good team work and
close guarding. Willmar got bas-
ket in the first half minute Of play
without St. Cloud man touching the
ball. The play and basket seemed to
bewilder st. Cloud. The game was
fast and furious, but clean. Erick-
son got one basket, as did his man.
Thunstedt at guard stuck to his man
like glue and got into the team work
in great style. Johnson got three
baskets, and held his man safe. Tav-
lor at forward Gagged the basket 8
times and got into the team work
well, as did Branton who got two
field baskets. AS St. Cloud had the
reputation Of having a strong team a
large crowd was present, altho the
game was in the afternoon. By this
victory it means that Willmar has an
exceptionally strong team and Coach
Crosby deserves great credit for
bringing the boys into championship
form. The team representing the
Farmers Short Course pupils also
went down-to,. defeat by the score Of
81 to 20. Raymond was very much
bigger and stronger and showed: that
experience is what counts in basket
ball. Whenever the Short Course
forwards got a chance at the bas-
kets it invariably counted for 2.

FARMERS ENJOYED
WEEKS PROGRAM
Willmar Short Course Declared
One of Largest Similar
Events in State.

The closing days Of the Farmers
Shourt Course were big days in Will
mar. Besides the agricultural insti-
tute there were meetings Of school
officers and teachers Of the county,
which brought representative men
and women from nearly every town.
On Saturday afternoon there were
three meetings in progress at one
and the same time, at the court
house, high school auditorium and in
the Industrial building, each Of which
had very big attendance.
Splendid and able lecturers have
been taking part each day and es-
pecially gratifying has been the gen
eral interest shown by the people.
Among the workers here Thursday
and Friday We're F. G. Gibbs, horti-
culture and gardening; L. p. Potter,
hogs and cattle; DR.. w. r. Boyd, dis
eases of hogs and cattle. ..
On Thursday evening an address
was delivered at the court house by
S. F. Kerfoot, president Of Hamline
University, and was an able effort
along educational lines.
One of the strongest and most in
structive addresses Of the sessions
was given by E. NJ. Phillips, rural
school commissioner Of the state on
Friday forenoon. It was a strong
plea for the consolidation of rural
schools. He was followed by DR.. c.
johnson who spoke on the proposed
enforced medical examination of
school children, pointing out the dan
gers that might be involved in GER
tain proposed plans. 49,.
At the high school auditorium in
the afternoon two splendid addresses
were delivered to a large gathering
Of school officers and teachers. The
first was by P. c. ~Tonning, Asst.
State Supt. of Public instruction,
and was full of helpful and practi-
cal suggestions both for teachers and
school officers. The second was by
Prof. P. NJ. Magnuson Of the St.
Cloud Normal, an able discourse
along the lines Of social evolution.
The closing meeting was held at
the court house Friday evening when
Supt. Merica of the Red Wing Train
ing School delivered his lecture, ''The
Boy Who Goes Wrong" Mr.. Merica
is forceful and magnetic speaker,
who delights in carrying his enrap-
tured listeners near to the falling of
place and then dumping them back
on to safe ground again. He took an
unusual point of view and showed
new side of the boy question. His
lecture was one Of the most unique
given at Willmar for some time.
Taken as whole the Farmers
Short Course has been a great sue
cess all thru and thoroughly enjoyed
not only by the farmers and students
but by town people as well who have
found time to attend.
There were 365 farmers enrolled
in the Short Course proper, with 81
women in the Home Economics class
and 63 boys in the Boys Shor'
Course. The state instructors pres
ent say it, was the best attended
Short Course they have yet met with
The two silver cups offered in tn

MONTPELIER.
High Water Floods Low Cellars, But
Does Little Damage

1t looked for time yesterday after
noon as if Montpelier would have anoth-
er food as the water rose at the rate
of six inches an hour; but about q
o'clock, when the rain ceased and it grew
colder the water began to recede. The
water did not come into the streets, al
though at one time it was within a
few feet of State street. Most of the low
cellars of the city were flooded, but none
of the merchants suffered any loss, as
they had ample warning The road from
this city to Middlesex was under water
in places all day yesterday and last
night was impossible. The hill roads
here were badly quilted and traffic over
the electric road was threatened for some
time during the afternoon.
Harry Harvey OF Waterbury, who is
at Heaton hospital for treatment of his
eyes, seemed more comfortable yester-
day, but it is not yet determined wheth
err his eyesight can be saved. 1t was
butter of antimony, which Mr.. Harvey
got into his eyes, at a lumber camp
90 miles from Waterbury. The prepare
ton is used to burn out horses hoofs,
and the bottle tipped over, scattering
the liquid into both eyes. Being so far
from physician, the acid had three or
four hours to eat into his eyes before he
could be relieved.
The board of trade met last night to
consider whether it should again main
tain the rest room in the city hall, and
it was decided Montpelier could not af
ford to do without what has come to
seem almost necessity. Since last
September, 400 names have been signed
to the visitors register, and many have
taken advantage of the room who did
not sign their names. James II. Kelliher
resigned as secretary of the board of
trade. and the naming OF his successor
was left with the board of directors.
There has been dissatisfaction over the
fact that by telephoning to the Central
Vermont station to learn whether the
trains are on time, little satisfaction is
given by the replies received, and the
committee of the board
will look into the matter.

was in somewhat of turmoil when one
Of Calder & Richardson's coal teams in
charge of John HolIenbach dashed
through the square and down freight
avenue OF the Central Vermont yards,
before the steeds could be brought to
standstill. Danger was imminent for
those in the proximity of the course
taken by the animals, which wound their
way through wagons and pedestrians.
