Our friends are all nice to us

believe We should not accept
the company of one young
man exclusively. unless en-
gagged to him. Are we right,

Probably the neighbor was, as you

Q.-Should a young lady

8. l..
A.There is nothing improper
about offering the hand to a
friend on the street, but it is not
customary to do so. A young lady
shakes hands when she is hostess
in her own house, when greeting
a guest.

Tank Sleigh Turns Turtle

Hans Ronning, an employee of the
Bartles, Scott Oil Co., of this city, is
confined to his home, as the result of
an injury received last Thursday. He
and Olaf Sundt were enroute for Lake
Elizabeth to fill oil orders, and when
they were about eleven miles out, the
sleigh struck drift at the side of the
road, resulting in spill. The two
men were we'll bundled up, and this
made it almost impossible to jump to
safety. Ronning was pinned beneath
the tank. and his leg severely wrench
ed. Sundt secured a sleigh from a
nearby farm house, and drove the in
jured man back to this city.
None Of "the precious juice" con-
tanned in the tank was lost owing tn
the fact that the latest thing in safe
ty valves, known as triplex, are en-
ployed on the tank wagon. One allows
the air to escape when oil is drawn,
another allows it to escape when the
oil expands in hot weather and the
third keeps the tank perfectly tight, in
such a case as occurred Thursday.

FREIGHT CARS
DERAllED At HOLLAND
Passenger Service Temporarily Grip
pied on Sioux City Division


pied on Sioux City Division
Last Saturday.
Trains were delayed and journeys
of passengers were temporarily dis
continued last Saturday afternoon and
evening, following the derailment Of
seventeen freight cars at Holland, that
morning. Just how the wreck happen
ed is not known but either broken
rail. or broken flange on one of the
cars, is thought to have been the
cause. The engine and four cars of
train No. 420 passed safely over the
fatal spot, but the next seventeen box
cars were derailed, many of them tum-
bling down the twenty-five foot en-
bankment, scattering their contents
in all directions. The wrecking crew
were called from this city, and put
in some hard work before the track
was cleared so trains could run thru.
No. % reached here about 6 O'Clock
Saturday evening, but in order to &C.
commodate the passengers who had
tickets for points east Of here, spec
ial train was run, leaving here about
nine o'clock.
No. So, due into this city at $3.50
a. M, arrived at noon Sunday. Fast
Mail train No. 2S8, was held here, and
carried the passengers eastward
bound. Those who came in the night
before, and those coming in Sunday
noon, were not so fortunate however,
and were forced to remain in this
city until Monday afternoon. How
ever, the railroad company voluntar-
lily paid for their board and lodging,
at the Savoy, thus doing away with
some of the inconvenience.

MOVEMENT IS ON
FOR 0|L|NC STREETS.
Commercial Club Takes Initia-
tive Towards Securing This
Improvement.

At the Commercial Club meeting
last night the preliminary steps to-
wards securing the oiling OF city
streets was taken. The Committee
on Highways was directed TO secure
the necessary data regarding most
approved methods OF applying the oil
and the cost. and appoint committees
OF citizens residing along the thoro-
fares which should be oiled, to circu-
late the necessary petitions to be pre-
sented to the City Council. There
was considerable discussion pro and
con before this action was taken. and
the consensus OF opinion was that if
properly applied and cared for oiled
streets are a success and much more
effective in keeping down the dust
than water sprinkling.
Prof. Z. l.. Rodegeb presented the
report OF last year S garden contest
and the prizes We're ordered paid, but
by request OF the committee the pub
lication Of the report is deferred un-
til next week. The contest was a
great success and has attracted state
wide attention.
Mayor Wellin reported on the work
Of the public improvement committee
Over two hundred boulevard trees
were set out last year, and all trees
have been pruned and cared for. The
work Of the committee was commend
ed and ordered continued with the
same appropriation OF funds.
An invitation will be extended to
the Seventh District editors to visit
Willmar on the occasion Of their out
ing at Green Lake next summer. 9th
er gatherings coming to Willmar next
season, spoken of at the meeting will
be Trondelaget and possibly the an
nual meeting of the Lutheran Free
church of America.
This was the annual meeting of the
Club. 1t was a cold evening and the
snow was flying, but what the mem
bership present lacked in numbers
was compensated for in harmony and
spirit. The officers Of the past year
were all reelected, as follows:
Judge T. o. Gilbert. President.
F. G. Handy. Vice President
R. w. Stanford, Secretary
c.. w. Odell. Treasurer
The following is a. synopsis of the
