For some reason or other local has,
ket ball fans are being cheated out
of a chance to see the high school
team in action, in any of their games
having a direct bearing on the dis
trict championship. They played
Beardsley at that place, and now that
Appleton is challenging for the hon
ors, why must Willmar invade that
place? In all lines of sport the cham
pions usually do the debating, SO why
not let Willmar, last years cham
pions and in line for the same hon
ors this year, do little debating?
Not that it makes any difference in
the playing Of the team, as they do
better away from home, as a rule, but
the boys deserve a chance to have a
friendly crowd shouting for them in
at least one Of these games. AS it
looks now, the team will not play at
home again until the championship is
either won or lost. They go to Apple
ton this week, and If they win must
play Alexandria at st. Cloud next
week, and then still have Morton left
to defeat in order to 60 to Mortified.

visitors off their feet and amassing

the locals went into the game the

met their equal here. The score for
the first half was 10 to 3, Morton hav.

and investigations in this department

A good many villages in the state
have adopted the Australian system
of voting at the annual village elec-
ton which can now be done by an act
of the last legislature. This does
away with caucus and leaves less
friction among the town people which
so often happens in small villages and
which should be avoided if possible
