the sale of seals constitutes almost the
sole financial resources of the society,
it is hoped that everyone will buy
freely. The Society has been doing
good work locally for some years and
ought to be encouraged.
On account of the large amount of
money collected from the public for
war purposes, contributions for local
relief are apt to be overlooked at this
time.

day Afternoon.

When Lloyd Peterson was laid out
on the play which netted Willmar's
only touchdown of the game, the local
boys were out Of luck. Though Lund.
quist and Swenson were back behind
the line, they did not seem able to
work their plays and after Peterson
was forced to-: retire, Kleve did the
main work on the offense. Renville's
playing was not particularly brilliant
nor was their team work what it might
be. Their gains were made on fake
plays and end runs AS in former
games, it was case of poor playing
on Willmar,s. gaart not Renville's
''. At the Hsp end q tie Il fourth quarter
Renville had three .,touchdowns and
one goal to their credit, while Willma1
had carried the ball over the line but
once, making the final score 1876 In
favor of Renville.

CAMP A|GN IS ON
Many Solicitors Busy Securing
Pledges For County's
Quota.

The campaign for raising Kandi-
yohi county's quota of $4,000 for the
Young Mems Christian Associations
War fund is progressing hopefully.
Chairman Willard and the other men,
bers of the committee are doing ef-
ficient work, and have effected an or
ganiZation that should get results.
There are over ninety solicitors in the
rural districts. and four to six in each
of the other voting precincts in the
county. Messrs. Bitterness and Odell
Of the Central Committee went to New
London and succeeded in starting the
work there with over $500 in subscrip-
tions. Mr.. Willard and DR.. Branton
were at AtWater and succeeded in
raising $1,000 in that village which
the local comittee has hopes of in
creasing to $1,000 or more. There
were six one-hundred dollar contribu-
lions in this amount.
The speaking campaign is we'll or
ganized. Many have volunteered their
services as speakers and others have
rendered their cars to use in making
the meetings.
Tonight four meetings are being
held-at Raymond, Dist. rs, Dist. No.
SO and Dist. No. 80. A big meeting was
held at Roseland last Monday night
by Rev. Jones and Atty. Bitterness. To-
morrow evening Prof. Foster will
speak at Prinsburg.
At Willmar the two Gratz meetings
last Friday gave the cause a good lift.
The canvassing is being done today
and tomorrow. On Friday the clean
up Of stragglers will be made and final
reports are to be made on Saturday.
The contributions may be made in
partial payments if desired: one-fourth
down, balance in January, March and
May; hence there will be less hard
ship in subscribing larger amount
than it would have been if all were to
be paid at once.
