Old Settlers Are Beginning

Treasurer C.. w. Odell reports to
the press Of the county the following
contributions received by him up to
date for the Old Settlers Memorial.
This project was launched by the Old
Settlers Association OF Kandiyohi and
a committee was appointed which was
directed to begin the work Of gather
ing funds for q suitable memorial to
be erected In the courthouse yard to
commemorate the early pioneers Of
the county. The minimum amount to
be considered was set at $500 and
it is hoped to make it much more.
Every donor Of dollar or more will
receive fine certificate Of that fact,
suitable for framing. Every school
donating five dollars or more will re-
ceive certificate already framed to
hang In the schoolhouse. It is believ-
ed that every district in the county
will wish to be represented in this
movement to do honor to the early
pioneers who came out and conquered
the wilderness and many of whom fell
victims to the savage Indians.
The following are the contributions
received uD to this time:

BASKET BALL SEASON TO CLOSE
Several Fast Games Scheduled for

Several Fast Games Scheduled for
This Week Will Wind Up the
Local Season.
Basket ball fans of this season will
have just one more chance to see
their teams in action this week, before
the curtain is rung down on one of the
most successful seasons ever enjoyed,
locally.
One of the features of the games
this week is that all five of the Will
mar teams will perform.
On Friday evening in the Seminary
gym. at o'clock the Cosmos team will
clash with the fast Morris Independ-
ents. This without doubt will be one
of the hardest fought games ever
played in this city, as the feeling be.
tween the teams is none too good
Morris defeated the locals at that
place couple Of months ago, and
then refused to come here for a re-
turn game. Monday morning, how.
ever, their manager called up and a
contest was arranged. Both teams will
have the strongest possible lineups in
the field, and the game should be a
warm one.
On Saturday evening the boys
teams of the Seminary and high
school will play again, this time al
the high school gym, and the girls
teams will also meet.
The Seminary girls team has play
ed but one game, but in this one they
showed considerable knowledge of the
game, and should give their more ex
perienced opponents hard battle.
The boys games will be dandies
The rivalry between these teams is
always intense, and, altho the higf
school has by far the best record fo1
the season, the northside bunch arr
planning little surprise, such as was
the case last year.
Anyway you look at it, it is bount
to be grand finish to the local bas
ket ball season, and monster crowd.
are looked for each evening.

mated In the First Round.

High School Basket Ball Team Elimj-
mated In the First Round.
Fate seems to be. against Willmar
high school basket ball teams. Each
time they enter the state tournament
at Northfield, they draw one of the
hardest teams to play the opening
game with. Three years ago it was
their luck to draw FOsston for the Op-
ening battle, and that year Fosston
won the championship of the state.
This year they drew Mountain Lake,
and this team entered the finals for
the title, losing to Red Wing in a hard
game.
However, the Willmar team put up
a great game, and were only beaten
after one of the hardest fights of the
whole tournament. The final score
was 1925. Mountain Lake jumped in
to the lead at the start of the game,
and had things pretty much their own
own way during the first half, which
ended with the score 20-12 in their
favor.
The second half was different, how
ever, and Willmar tore in with q ven-

half. Mountain Lake made but one
field basket in the final period.
The inability of Johnston to cover
Hfebert in the first half, aided mater
tally in the locals down fall. This ster-
ling forward connected with the net
five times in the first period, for q to-
tai Of ten points. Hedberg guarded
him in the second half, and so close
did he cover, that Hiebert was un.
able to score a basket.
Severinson led the Willmar team in
scoring with four field and nine foul
baskets. Yarrow with two, and John.
ston and Erickson with one each did
the rest of the Willmar scoring.
Hiebert, with five field and nine foul
baskets accounted for 10 of the win.
ners points. Jensen, Schiminowski
and Vogt did the remainder of the
scoring for Mountain Lake.
Fifteen fouls were called on Noun.
tain Lake and ten on Willmar. The
refereeing was quite close, altho il
didn't seem to bother the boys to any
great extent.
Red Wing won the championship
by defeating Mountain Lake Saturday
evening by score of 30-18 and from
the reports of the Willmar team, the
winners had by far the best team ir

I have friend-I don't know
whether | can really call him
friend, the relationship is so one
sided and he may turn against me
any moment-who illustrates very
pointedly group Of psychological
laws which it is very important for
us Jews to comprehend and APP
preciate.
This friend, gentleman by dint
of social rearing and intellectual cul-
ture, is descended from an eminent
family Of Portuguese Jews, but, his
father having become converted to
Unitarianism, he himself has never
been ew in faith. A European by
birth and education, he has travelled
in almost all continents, speaks with
correct fuency number of modern
languages, but has become natural
lied in this country, of which he
is an ardent, though rather criti-
cal admirer He is an expert of rare
competency in, certain branch of
business but he copes with increas-
ing difficulties in finding employ
ment, partly because he has high
standards of honesty which fire.
quently conflict with prevailing bust
ness practices, largely also because
he is what people call conceited and
overbearing which, in his case,
means that he always knows better,
delivers opinions with an air of final
authority and becomes very bitter
in his personal denunciations. Worst
of all, by reviling and exposing the
methods of past employers, he
creates an impression of disloyalty
and fear of similar experience, 50
that people hesitate to take him into
their employ; besides, very natural
ly, the influential enemies he has
made are not backward in caution
ing people against him. With all
this he is the soul of honor, clean,
upright, independent man, brave
and perservering in the presence of
constant Encouragement, grateful
and appreciative for friendly offices.

ists-that is all the Jews can be to
Uniforms an interesting, though
not always a pleasant study. From
his parental home he knows all the
conversational Jewish phrases
which, when with Jews, he uses
lavishly and with gusto and is so
thoroughly acquainted with Jewish
customs that one would be inclined
to doubt his native Christianity, if
his truthfulness were not clearly
above suspicion; he also seems to
feel special shame and indigna-
ton against Jewish vice and Jewish
failings which really bespeaks an
unconscious sense of responsibility
and brotherhood; yet he has, at
times, come very near to losing my
friendship, when he has expressed
open aversion to associating with
Jews, and | have often felt that he
is peculiarly disposed to blame the
lapses of individual Jews on their
Judaism; so much so that [ have
been made. to understand better,
how thin a wall really separates
wounded Jewish pride from actual
Antisemitism. When mans Jew
ish vanity has been hurt innumer-
able times by the unrepresentative
ness Of unworthy Jewish brothers,
he finally falls victim to chronic
disease, to that hatred and contempt
of Jew for fellow-Jew of the man
of Jewish temperament and habit
for all that flows from Jewish tenn
permanent and habit, phenomenon
which to me stands for the final
tragedy of a people losing it's own
soul.
Despite all this he probably has
no other father-confessor than me,
the rabbi; Christian ministers have
either been unsympathetic as to his
many troubles or they have kept
him at distance by a cold air of
reserve or they have been "too
busy" to listen to his tales and trials

him so, that I had before me an
unhappy scion of Israel, a small

wreckage on shore Of painless

wreckage on shore of painless
desolation.
But as a student of the human
soul and as searcher into the in
wardness Of Jewish history and
Jewish psychology am profoundly
interested in the impressive lessons
conveyed by the sterility and de-
feat of this promising life. 1t is to
me most lucid illustration of the
supreme need, for every full-blown
spiritual embodiment, of being root
ed firmly and Loyalty in definite
soil. There is a certain justice in
the contempt with which the pres
ent-day German philosophers, his
torians, economic and social writer's
regard the cosmopolitan" and COOS
mopolitanism," and it is just the
futility, the homelessness, the dis
integrating, critical temper of such
a wanderer as my friend, which
show the dangers of what [ might
call spiritual rootlessness, of that
inhuman, unloyal detachment which
suffers from having either no true
fatherland or too many Of them.
The imam without a country" is
pathetic moral cripple; but even
a sadder figure is the man whose
heart has cut itself loose from all
rootage in it's natural soil. "He
says of his father and his mother
I have not seen them; his brothers
he does not recognize, his children
he does not know" Compare him
with the man who feels completely
at home in the environment to
which Providence has assigned him;
such man need not be uncritical
of the shortcomings of his people,
his country; but he accepts these
faults as more or less inevitable, he
has certain forbearance, almost
an affection for them, feeling them
to be, in sense, part and parcel of
himself. effectiveness and detach-
ment will serve we'll enough in the
realms of critical investigation and
scientific research; they are disturb
ing and upsetting in the cozy at
mosphere of home where one has
a right, almost duty to be his own,
unconscious, uncritical SELF
1t has been claimed by various
writer's, Leo Reich, for instance,
that the Jew, like all immigrants,
aliens, wanderers, foreigners, has, in
competitions of every sort, the adj
vantage of the outsider, the OBJ
server, of the man with more than
