SPlCER YOUNG MEN
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Ford Car Jumps State Road Last
Monday Afternoon Near Spicer.

Monday Afternoon Near Spicer.
Roy Cederstrom and William Gutz-
ske of Spicer were the victims of an
auto accident on the state road last
Monday afternoon about four-thirty o.
clock. The former is the proprietor
of confectionery store at Spicer and
was in need of freezer of ice cream.
Accompanied by Gutzske he jumped
into his Ford runabout and headed for
this city. Evidently the boys were in
hurry, as, after they rounded the
corner near the liver Peterson place,
and came down the grade on a straight
stretch, Cederstrom lost control Of
the steering gear with the result the
car jumped the road. Just what gyra.
lions it went thru will probably never
be known, but when it started out, the
machine was naturally headed for
Willmar, and after cutting capers, and
landing in the ditch, four feet on the
right hand side of the road, it was
turned about, and facing home again.
The occupants of the car were
thrown out Cederstrom landing about
twenty-five feet on one side, and Gutz.
ske a like distance on the other. The
most miraculous part of the whole
thing is that neither had scratch to
show for his experience, and outside
of being little Jared we're none the
worse for the affair. They landed in
water that was up to their necks, and
had they been stunned, the thing
might have turned out lot more ser.
iously than it did.
Assistance was secured and after
several hours Of labor, the car was
rescued from watery grave and TAX
en- back to the garage at Spicer for
repairs.

spoke on the great significance of re-
Hgious training and Thursday, being
Ascension Day, he spoke of the mean
ing of this day. Prof. Struxness gave
a. very interesting toast which was ap'
preciated by all. Emma T. Johnson,
President of the Alumni was called up
on and she responded with a request
to all members present to try to bring
one member each next year as there
are almost two hundred graduates re-
siding in this city and only eighty
were present. Arthur Wilcken, presi
dent of the class Of 1916, responded

over his chest. Luckily it was light

His clothes we're badly torn, and he
was bruised about the back and legs,
but was around the next day, little the

Seminary.

Nineteen diplomas were awarded
exercises of the Willmar Seminary
last Saturday evening. The stage was
banked with lilacs, and the class COL
ors were strung about the room. The
motto, "Seize Every Opportunity"
was conspicuously displayed on the
north wall. The chapel was well fill
ed with friends of the graduates, and
the program was thoroly enjoyed.
Rev. c. Davick, of Fargo, N. D., de-
livered the address of the evening,
using as his subject, 'The Secret Of
a Successful Life" "The secret of a
successful life," the speaker said, els
a faithful application of all gifts CIV
en- to you. Set your ideal high, and
strive to make use of all the resourc.
es at your command"
A hymn by the audience and the in
vocation by Rev. Davick opened the
exercises. Marion Fossum rendered a
selection on the piano, after which
Arthur Wilcken delivered the salut-
atOry address, which will be found in
it's entirety in another column. A vo-
cal solo by Miss Berrum followed,
after which Erwin Nelson talked on
Preparedness" and contrary to gen.
eral expectations he did not speak on
the preparedness of this nation for
war, but on the preparedness of the
individual to go out and fight the bat
ties of life. He handled the subject
in most convincing manner. After
a song by the girls glee club, Rev.
Davick addressed the class. This was
followed by a selection by the School
Chorus. Miss Nellie DIN followed
with the history of the class and Miss
Ella Samingson told of a dream in
which she had seen the future of her
class mates. Prof. N. B. Swain then
gave delightful violin selection, and
