Dear Mrs. thompson: ] have a
friend much older than myself who is
constantly giving me advice. He says
am too young to go out with my girl
friends and meet boys and go walking
right about it?
EVELYN.
He certainly is right and IL you are
wise you will heed his advice. No
girl can keep the respect OF men or
keep from being very severely criti-
cised who will form acquaintances on
the street or go walking with chance
acquaintances. 1 should judge that
you were too young to be out walking
with young men at all.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I rub cold
cream over my face and then put
powder on, as most girls do, and after
a while my face shines like glass, espe-
cially my nose. Kindly tell me what
causes this and also advise what to do
in order to take the shine off, or what
to do so that it won't shine in the first
place? HIBBY-
Try washing your face only in cold
water in the Daytime and steam1ng
it and soaking it with hot water at
night. After all the pores are work
ing well apply cold water at the last
before going to bed. The cold wa
ter stimulates the action of the pores.
Do not put soap on the face; it will
make it shiny. | would advise less
cold cream. Try the powder without
it; the two together clog the pores
and that produces heat and as the
pores are clogged there can be no per
SEPARATION or moisture. That is what
causes the shiny appearance.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % 1 am a
girl of thirteen years old. Am 1 too
young to have boy friends?
CD Is it all right for boy to take
you home from a party?
CD Is it wrong to speak to boy
you have never been introduced to
when you meet him?

Der of railroad cases for trial and

w. Otos VS.. Great Northern Railway
Company which was tried last spring

PLAN PROPOSED
TO CONSOLIDATE
County Fair Association May
Conclude to Take Over
Assembly Park.

The Willraar Park Assembly Cor
poration held it's annual meeting last
Monday night when the same execu-
tive committee as before was re-elect-
ed to have charge during the coming
year, VIZ: Russell Spicer, E. C. Well
in, w. F. Gratz, G. H. Bitterness, F. G..
Handy, G. B. Carlson and v. E. Law
son. A committee from the County
Fair Association, composed of G. Otto
Bergquist, Peter M. Burns and John
Swenson, appeared and inquired what
the attitude of the stockholders of the
Park Assembly would be towards a
consolidation of the two organizations
with the view of putting the grounds
under one management. The commit
tee was given the personal assurance
from all the stockholders present that
they would meet the county organi-
zation more than half way on such a
proposition. A resolution was passed
endorsing a plan by which all the as
sets, including grounds and all, be
turned over to the county association
to be used for public meeting pur-
poses on condition that the additional
ground needed for track and athletic
field be acquired free from incum-
brances, and the assembly stockhold-
ers would exchange their stock for
stock in the County Fair Association.
If this plan materializes it will give
the county the finest county, fair
grounds in the state, and Willmar will
have a dandy athletic field for all
kinds of outdoor sports in addition to
the park. The County Fair Associa-
tion has options on all the adjacent
land necessary for a fine half-mile
track. Committees of both organiza-
tions are at work and next week we
hope to be able to announce that some
plan Of cooperation has been agreed
upon.

the cost of placing farm products in
the hands Of the consumers. Farmers

HORACE B. JOHNSON.

A familiar figure at the Central Ho-
tel is no more. Horace B. Johnson
died last Monday night, at an age of
80 years. For eleven years he had
charge Of the Central Hotel. Five
years ago he was operated upon at
the hospital and since then has not
been able to do any work. Death was
caused by complications of the inflrm-
tiles of old age. He was a native Of
Messina Springs, N. Y, where he was
born in Dec, 1888. He was for many
years prominent business man of
Litchf1eld. He is survived by his wife
who lives at Minneapolis and bro.
ther, George W., who lives at Los
Angeles, Calf. Since the deceased
became unable to work he has been
supported by his brother. The re-
mains were taken to Litchfield this
afternoon, where they will be inferred
near those of a son who lies buried
there. The Masonic fraternity had
charge of the funeral.
