In an article in The Youths Compsn-

c. W. Saleeby cites and subscribes to the
theory that the small stature OF the
Frenchman of to-day is due to the fact
that Napoleon used up the best blood OF
France in his wars, leaving the poorest
and weakest physically TO perpetuate
the race. He also suggests that the de-
cline of Rome may have been due TO the
same cause. And yet those who regard
war as not only unavoidable but bene-
fetal, talk about its results as being the
elimination of the weak and the survival
of the fittest,

A writer recently commenting on the
English language as used in England
and America, says that in England,
while slang is used, it is generally used
only where it may be considered as ap-
propriate, while in America it appears
almost every where, even in "dignified
conversation" II dignified conversa
ton were only that in which there is no
slang, dignified conversation in America
would be pretty nearly limited to the
faculty meetings of the universities

The wisdom OF our Maine court is
again demonstrated TO the layman by
recent decision handed down by the law
court, in liquor case where the re-
spondent endeavored to escape on the
technical ground that the description OF
the place was defective. The court says
that the description is "merely prelimi-
nary" and does not constitute descrip-
tion of the offence alleged to have been
committed
Oxford Democrat., 1915-02-09

So many things are being put up in
price, in these days of the high cost of
living, from five cents TO six, that there
is certain amount of agitation for a
six-cent coin. May II never come! But
II it does, for goodness sake let's shoot
every one who calls it sixpence. It's
bad enough to have third of the people
call our good American cent penny,
which it never was and never will be-
in fact it is almost exactly half penny ;
let's not misapply any more names of
England's coinage.

Robbins, whose garage is on east
Front Street. This gentleman runs
auto livery, handles storage and repair
ing and has full equipped filling sta
ton.
Although Mr.. Robbins is one of the
oldest business men, having been in
Willmar over forty-two years, it is but
eight years ago that he entered the
automobile business. Previous to- that
time he dealt in implements and is
widely known throughout the county
as an able business mon. Three years
ago he moved into the present build
ing which can accommodate eight cars.
Mr.. Robbins is thoroughly experienced
in repairing and gives all work his at
tention. The French auto oil, Texaco,
Tropartic, and Ideal are the automo-
bile oils handled here. Red Crown
gasoline is also speciality.
Mr.. Robbins knows every inch OF
Kandiyohi County and has a know.
ledge which makes him the most eff.
ficient of livery men. He is acquaint.
ed with every one in the county and
they all know him and he has won
many friends. Although his garage
is not the largest, it is one of the best,
and every effort is made to please its
patrons.

ing at our own University of Minneso-
ia, and for the past IA years has been
doing high class work in this line not
only at Willmar, but all over Kandiyo-
hi County.
In connection with his undertaking
business, Mr.. Olson runs the only up
holstering establishment in the city
and he can take care of anything in
this line that comes to him for atten-
ton. The store handles 7 the we'll.
known Patton's Sun Proof paints, and
an adequate stock of furniture. The
making of window shades is also a
speciality here. Mr.. Olson's expert
ence in his line of business makes the
work turned out by him both salts
factory and prompt.
In 1872 Mr.. Olson first began bust
ness in Willmar as contractor, and
has constructed many of the business
and private buildings in our communi-
ty.
He takes charge of funerals and is a
Licensed embalmer equipped both with
theoretical and a practical training.
Mr.. Olson is one of our Oldest business
men, and one of our more popular
ones and his business is steady and
run upon a highly efficient basis.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1915-08-25

The store is large and attractive and
the goods are artistically arranged, so
that they are displayed to the best ad-
vantage and for the most convenience
of the customers. An especially large
line of ladies' skirts and dresses are
carried here. Mr.. Sandven aims to
keep everything which the women of
Willmar are likely to demand in the
way of women's apparel That he
has been successful, is shown by the
extent of his trade.
AS long as the store has been es-
tablished, it has always given the alb
solute satisfaction and Mr.. Sandven
gives personal attention to any COM
plants and will adjust these at once
However, he has seldom occasion to
do this. The women of Willmar ought
to feel appreciative for an establish
ment which caters to their demands
as thoroughly as this store does and
patronize it whenever possible.

Department Store.

An important factor in the retail Of
any district, is the department store.
In Willmar, one of the most up-to-date
establishments of this kind, is run by
Berkness, Lundberg Co., whose spa
clous salesrOom is on the corner of
Third Street and Benson Avenue.
This firm has a standard line of
groceries, dry goods, shoes, ladies'
ready-to-wear and mems furnishings,
everything being up-to-date and being
displayed in attractive style. With
the name Of Berkness, Lundberg Co.
back of every article that goes over
the counter, the purchaser may feel
sure that he will! get full value for his
money. The store is a fifty by eighty
foot affair, which occupies the one
floor and basement. A good sized bal
cony runs around one side, and which
adds considerable and gives more room
for display. An overhead cash sys-
tenn links each department and coun-
ter to the treasurer's desk. insuring
you promptness of service.
In all, six people are required to han
die the business done at this depart
ment store. Berkness, Lundberg &

der this name for only two years, the
former firm name having been Berk-
ness, Peterson & Co. Mr.. O. Berkness

other business. Fair and square deal

them; satisfaction can surely be guar
anteed to customers.
Thirteen years ago, the Gilbert o.
Sand Co. opened up business where
the Great Northern Express Company
is now, on Front street. -Four years
later, they moved into their present
modern building and have enjoyed the
large trade from those who desire
stylish and durable clothing. What
ever success has been made, is made
through square deal and truthfulness.
If a piece of goods is not all wool, the
salesman will tell you so. The pro-
prietor will make good, anything that
is not satisfactory. About year and
a half ago, they installed some of the
finest of Grand Rapids revolving cab
inets, such as are now in use in the
larger Metropolitan stores. These
form a convenient department for
hats and clothes and each ar
ticle may be quickly brought for the
inspection of the customer.
Mr.. G. o. Sand is one of our most
progressive business men, and is very
we'll and favorably known both in
Willmar and surrounding territory.

THE LADIES' STORE.
O. A. Sandven.

For the past twenty years, Mr.. O. A.
Sandven has been prominently known
In the business circles of Willmar
Twenty years ago he opened up gen.
eral store, but after being in that bus
mess for seven years, sold out and
specialized by establishing what is now
known as the Ladies' Store. This has
proven to be very far-sighted move
ment on his part, for by specializing
In this way, he is able to give the very
best service to the specific wants of
the public. He has been very, success
full since opening up the Ladies' Store.
This store is one of the most COM
pletely equipped with ladies wearing
apparel in the city. Here may be
found everything in the way of ladies'
apparel and furnishings, including
hats, ladies', misses and children's
mems furnishings of all descriptions.

of not only being the largest, but also
the finest clothing establishment in

of Fourth street and Litchfield avenue.
One of the best examples of how big
city ideas may be transferred to small
