PEELED from school remains to be seen.
According to the victims version of
the affair, he was denied chance to
tell his story, and in fact, he did not
even know that the committee consist
ed of more than the two members who
quizzed him, when in reality there are
nine members on the board.
It is certain that this case will
bring about a. definite understanding
between the Conference colleges in re-
gard to the much talked of "summer
base ball" rule. It is almost certain
that the rule forbidding college ath-
letes from playing base ball in the
summer time, will be rescinded.

TRIBUNE SPORT COLUMN

+ f+++++++++++++++
On Saturday last, the local high
school football team journeyed to Rem
Vile, and after a hard game, were
beaten by the team of that place, by
a score of 20 to 0. The game was
originally scheduled for this city, but
on Thursday Renville called up and
stated they would be unable to come
here. The score of the game would
make it appear as an easy victory for
Renville, but such was not the case,
as during the first half neither team
was able to score. Each team was
able to gain when the ball was in mid
field, but when the goal line was
threatened the defense frightened. In
the third period, the break came. tho,
and the home team managed to shove
across one touchdown. After the ice
was broken, the going was easier for
Renville, and before the final whistle
blew, they added two more touch
downs, and secured an additional two
points on safety.
The teams were pretty evenly
matched, altho the winners line had
something on the local forwards, in
the matter of charging and all around
ability. Most Of the Renville gains
thru the line were made on smashes
off-tackle, Willmar seeming unable to
cope with this mode of offense. The
winners also used the forward pass to
good advantage, all three touchdowns
coming directly from forward passes.
Renville played their pass game
from a kick formation, and time and
again had a man loose to receive the
throw.
For Willmar, Conway, Danielson and
Limperich bore the brunt Of the heavy
work, altho each member of the team
did the best he could.
The big game of the season will be
played here on Friday afternoon at
$3.50 when the Willmar and Litchfield
teams meet at the local Athletic Park

LuBRIcATING THE CAR.

Ques.-How often is it necessary
to insert lubricant in the crank case
and in the gear boxes? Should differ
ent lubricants be used for different
seasons?
Ans.-The fact that lubricant some
times works out through the bearings
should they be worn, or at the cover
should it be loose, makes it impos-
sible to set an arbitrary time for lub-
rication. Should these be absolutely
tight, it is good practice to remove all
lubricant from the boxes at the end
Of every 1000 miles. Thoroughly wash
the gears and case with kerosene. New
grease should be used when replac-
ing. Gauges are located at the side
of the crank case on most late mod
els to indicate the exact amount of
oil in the case. A car in good condi-
ton should run at least 100 miles with
out requiring replenishment of lubri-
cant.
Experts differ as to the grades of
oil to use in the different seasons, but
If a change is required, it is gener.
ally believed that much thinner oil
is required for winter than summer.

great scrap in their annual clashes,
and this year seems to be right in line
for a continuance of this. There is
just one game that may be used as a
comparison of the ability of the teams.
Litchfield defeated Paynesville 155 to
0, at Litchfield in the opening game of
the season. A couple Of weeks later,
Willmar defeated Paynesville by a
score Of 46 to 0. Judging by that
Litchtield's offense has several times
more power than that possessed by
the Willmar team. OF course Paynes-
Vile was aided somewhat in their
game here by the presence Of three
outsiders.
Litchfield this year has shown a
wonderful ability at piling up big
scores. In addition to the 155 against
Paynesville, they ran up something
like 80 on Hutchinson and a like
amount on Eden Valley. St. Cloud
they defeated after a hard fight, Is
to 20.
Willmar can show no record to
compare with that of her opponent as
there are more losses than victories
charged to Willmar's account. How.
ever, when playing Litchfield, and es.
pecially at home, Willmar teams have
happy faculty of rising to meet the
emergency, and local followers have
hopes that such may prove the case
this year.

recently organized State Athletic AS

this they adopted a number of rules
which will be rigidly enforced in the

A Russian S Effort
to Lose Himself
By EUNlCE BLAKE

Peter TrOlenco was member Of one
of those circles that sprang up in Rus
STA some forty years ago when nihil-
ism was first heard of. They took their
name from their underlying principle
that nothing in government which ex-
listed should continue. The Latin word
for nothing" is nihil.
There was great secrecy in those cir
Giles, the members of one circle being
completely ignorant Of those in anoth-
er. Peter understood that different
circles worked in harmony through
their chiefs. but beyond this he had no
information whatever. And yet st.
Petersburg (now Petrograd), where he
lived, was full of nihilists.
Peter was young, and there was
something captivating in all this mys-
terry. But one night there came to him
terrible awakening. Lots were
drawn to decide which one Of the cir
Gle should assassinate the chief Of po-
lice, and Peter drew the fatal paper,
on which had been sketched dagger.

All the romance attending the secret
meetings, the DISCUSSES, the many in
genious plans Of the propaganda of nj
hilism. shriveled before this terrible
deed which Peter was required to COM
NIT and from which there was no es.
cape. He might flee to the ends of the
earth, but would never know when
some one. possibly his best friend,
would strike him.
To add to his horror, he loved q
young girl, to whom he was expecting
to be married. Nina Dimitrieft was at
the time preparing her trousseau. Pc
ter feared that his misfortune, which,
in any event, would break their be
trothal, would kill her.
he spent long while in making up
his mind what to do and finally decid'
ed upon fight. He would leave Rus
STA disguised and 60 to a land where
he would be lost to the world. But
what action should he take in refer.
ence to his betrothed? After weigh
ing the matter, dreading the shock he
would cause her by telling her what
had happened, he decided to disappear
from her as mysteriously as from 9th
ers. He would conflde only in his
mother.
A few days after he had drawn the
dagger he began journey to the Dor
der. Disguised as beggar, he Travelled
by night and begged by day in the
towns through which he passed. What
money he took with him, added to what
he received from charity, enabled him
to reach Genoa and take passage for
America.
For five years the fugitive kept
changing his residence, avoiding the
large cities so far as possible, think
ing to lose himself more effectively In
the country. But whenever he came
near Russian he moved on. He dared
not write to his mother for fear his
letters would be intercepted, but be-
fore leaving Russia he had laid a plan
for communicating with her at long in.

her that friend of his in the circle to
which he belonged had informed her,
at the risk of his life, that an emissary
had been sent to assassinate him.
One day Peter appeared in a small
town in Missouri to receive a commu.
nication expected from his mother.

HAVING CARBON TROUBLE

Ques.-I am having continual trou-
bic with carbonization and sooty
spark plugs-A. H.
Ans.-It seems evident that too
much lubricating oil and possibly too
heavy mixture of gasoline is used,
and our advice would be to cut down
the amount of lubricating oil some,
watching the results closely. AS
colder weather approaches, naturally
one should use little higher test OF
gasoline. Possibly you are carrying
too much lubricating oil in your crank

Socrates and His PUBL.

There is story told Of Socrates that
he once asked a self confident pupil
to draw a line and, the line being CON-
pleted, to construct square upon it.
The youth did as directed. "Now,"
said the sage, make me a square
twice the size Of the one before you."
""That is easy" replied the novice, and
forthwith. producing the line so that
it was double the length of the first,
made another square. Very carefully
Socrates proved to the now crestfallen
follower that the new square was real
" four times the size Of the original.
Next he explained how the task ought
to have been done and concluded thus:
"Our first step to wisdom Is ever a
knowledge of our own ignorance"

it be possible that the girl he loved had

Peter followed her and presently saw
her drop bit Of paper. Picking it up,
he read, Meet me at II on the bridge"
The town was on the bank Of a small
stream spanned by single bridge.
This fixed the place. At the hour ap.

disappearance she had wormed the Sc
cret from his mother. But it was not

emissary had been dispatched to kill
him that Nina decided to join him in
his exile. The immediate reason for
her coming was to warn him against
this person who had been described to
his mother. Nina knew the man who
was to avenge the circle, but he did
not know her. Indeed, she had seen
him in the town that day.
What was to be done? Nina declared
that she would remain with her lover,
protect him SO far as she might be
able and die with him If she could not
save him. The danger was imminent
