Wool Growers Did Not Organize.


The attempt to organize a Wool
Growers Association for Kandiyohi
County last Monday afternoon failed
by reason Of no interest being shown.
No one was present except P. J..
Thorstenson, J. A. Risdall and An
drew Fagerland, the parties who
signed the call. The advantage of
clubbing together and selling all the
wool grown in the county in one lot
are so obvious, that the above gen.
tlemen concluded that other growers
in the county must be fully satisfied
with the prices received by selling
ing in small lots-otherwise, they ar

The Civics Lesson,

On Friday evening, picnic lunch
was enjoyed by the entire High
School at the eating pavilion of AS
sembly Park. In spite of the rain a
good time was had. The serving was
done by the pupils of the Fourth
Ward. This affair was the culmina-
tion of the Lesson in Civic Help
fulness," when the High School at
the suggestion of the Civics Class,
undertook to make a canvass of the
city for season tickets to the Willmar
Chautauqua without receiving pay,
but simply as public spirited enter
prise. The pupils had two days in
which they might do this work. They
organized by wards, but the brief
time gave no chance for checking up
names of people approached. The
result was announced by Supt. Fos'
ter as follows:

This effort on the part of the High
School Is a commendable one, and
gives the Willmar Chautauqua Com
mittee of 1914 substantial lift in
their work of selling $3.50 worth of
tickets.
After the lunch short talks were
made by. Myron Cramer, Vance Pet
erson, Herbert Hoglund and Myrtle
