Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1918-07-31

The Tribune "came back" with
what amounted to grOundless charge
against this newspaper, II It's state
ments we're to stand uncorrected OF
unexplained. The Tribune in its is
sue of this morning had the opportuni
ty to say that the charge was not
made. Instead it repeats the charge
and its system of appealing to the
passions and prejudices of the people
as the situation affects the whole
community has been transferred to ap.
ply to the newspaper situation.
Because the Republican Gazette has
hoped that the Tribune's seeming po.
sition as affecting the whole situation
would be satisfactorily explained, it
has, though there has been the most
extreme establishment because OF the
Tribune's position, refrained from
commenting.
Now it can no longer be doubted
that the Tribune's position has been
deliberately taken and its appeals in
tended to have the effect that they
have had.
II ever newspaper has shown con-
sideration toward a contemporary the

The Tribune now transfers it's ap-

Of its readers who do not know what
the Republican Gazette has said, let
it be said again
Go to it!
The charges made by the Willmar
Tribune are not only untrue but the
question is unbeatable. If the Trib-
une still wishes those charges to
stand uncorrected or to repeat them
or to enlarge upon them in the work
ings Of it's system of appealing to the
passions and prejudices of people,
let us say again
&C. to it!
The Republican Gazette had hoped
that the newspaper business in Will
mar was on different plane. Dur
ing the past sixty days there has
been cause for serious misgivings.
Now the absolute evidence of a
deliberate purpose, the Republican
Gazette, while expressing regret,
must also give expression to feeling
of extreme disgust.
The Republican Gazette will con-
tinue to meet its full editorial re-
sponsibility. Charges may fall
where they may, appeals reach whom
they may.
There will probably be little &C.
casioh in the future to burden the
readers with statements like this, for

FOOD DEMONSTRATION
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Food Demonstration on Tues
day and Wednesday Of last. week In
the Holmes block, under the auspices
Of "The Committee Of Home Econom-
les of the Woman's Committee Of the
Council Of National Defense" proved
itself great success.,
The committee having the matter
in charge spared no pains from start
to finish in making it a success. Mrs.
Walter Lambertson, chairman Of the
comittee Of food administration; Miss
Edna hummer, chairman Of the home
economics committee, assisted by 9TH
er members Of the committee and f.
A. Puffer, carrying out the patriotic
decorations with our American flag,
American eagle. and large picture of
President Wilson, strongly bespoke
patriotism for our country.
Chapman & Strunk, Skellenger's
and Underwood Bros, cooperated
with fine display Of substitutes for
wheat -four, sugar and meats.
The many sample of breads, pies,
cakes, etc., made by using substitutes,
with recipes accompanying and made
by some Of the best housekeepers OF
the city were a most inviting sight
and a great school and incentive to
many willing to be patriotic in using
substitutes, but did not always know
the way.
1t was estimated that during the
two days over five hundred ladies
with their pencils and pads for copy
ing recipes attended and expressed
the warmest appreciation of the
event.
We are glad to publish the recipes
as given in our woman and Home"
column, one-half this week and the
remainder next week. Our house
keepers will find them valuable as
set to their cook books, not only for
this day of substitutes for all time,
as they cover list of very good
things to eat.

School Life
stand BY The Captain"

Last year when war was declared
the slogan of the nation was, "Stand
by the President" In like manner we
must "Stand by the Captain" or cap
tains of our athletic teams. Early this
spring there was some discussion in
regard to dropping base ball from the
schools athletic, but it was finally de-
cided to put team into the field.
Then, Coach Reed was here to take
charge of the teams. Now he is call
ed to fight the Germans and the full
responsibility Of managing, coaching,
and directing the base ball team IS
thrown upon the captain. He has sue
ceeded in organizing team, which,
though made up of new material, has
shown its rnettle in its first two
games. On May 3rd and 10th the
team will play at home. This Is our
chance to get behind the captain and
prove our loyalty to B H. S. and its
team. Let us all purchase our
athletic tickets and be out in full
force to cheer the team to victory.
Let's every one of US stand by Cap
tain Lambertson," and prove to- him
and the team that we are with them
win or lose.

The drunkard, down and out, solilo-
9uizes as follows this week: E*
THE hour Of midnight approaches.
See the reflected light from the street
lamp, causes creeping shadows to
move about the walls of my lonely
room. Now the light rests upon the
calendar-the measuring stick of days
gone! yes, and of days to come. rTis
Tuesday, April 30th, 1918; how slow
ly but surely that day has come to
pass. Tick-tock-'tis twelve o'clock
and now every saloon door in Michi-
gan has closed forever. And with the
dawn Of another day comes a parting
of the ways. Oh, strong drink, you
cruel monster, how you have tricked
me. Do you remember the promise
you made me in the long ago? And
now, after all these years, the parting
of the ways, must be at the garbage
can. / first drank to the health of
friend; the second glass was for
pleasure; the third to drown my
shame-and my last for madness.
"The bar-room has been my bank
Into it have deposited my all. And
now / find the money deposited has
been lost; time deposited lost; char
acter lost; my manly independence,
lost; my home, lost; my self-control,
lost; my wife's comfort, lost; my
children's happiness, lost-Oh, God,
is there yet chance to save from the
wrecked bar-room bank, my own
soul? Oh, that had been subject to
any vice, save drunkenness. All 9TH
err vanities and sins are recovered.
But not so with a drunkard for he
can never shake off the delight Of
beastliness. The longer it possesseth
a man, the more he will delight in it,
and the older he groweth the more
he shall be subject to it.
"Now, don't laugh, my dear reader;
/ have mighty hard struggle before
me;-a human garbage can am /;
brought to this level by that which
you have this day taken from my
weak trembling hands. Why could
you not have helped me in the long
ago; when life, ambition and hope,

Too late, alas, too late for me. And

Physical Efficiency of School
Children

About ten years ago the Playground
and rRrecreation Association of Amer
lea adopted the following as stand
ards which every boy ought to be able
to attain, if he is physically efficient:
First test: Pull up (chinning) 4
times; standing broad jump #. 8
inches; 60 yard dash 3-5 seconds.
Second Test: Pull up (chinning) 6
times; standing broad jump 6 feet 6
inches; go yard dash 8 seconds or 100
yards dash Ia seconds.
Third Test: Pull up, (chinning) 9
times; running broad jump feet
inches; 220 yards run 20 seconds.
Later a committee of experts esta-
blished the corresponding standards
for girls: s hS%N l4a
First Test: All-up Indian clup
race 30 seconds, or potato race AZ
seconds; basket ball goal throwing 2
goals, 6 trials; balancing "a feet, 2
trials.
Second Test: All-up Indian club
race % seconds, or potato race 80
seconds; basket ball goal throwing 8
goal, 6 trials; balancing (bean bag or
hook on head) "a feet, 2 trials.
20 seconds; throwing for distance,
DdShCI Ddii NJ lSCty VI wiley Ddli "a
feet; volley ball serving 8 in 5 trials.
These tests are being used all over
the country to measure the physical
efficiency of boys and girls. Because
they are national standards, they fur
nish a means of comparing the physi-
cal efficiency of children in different
Communities.
1t is a significant fact hat much
smaller per cent of children in small
towns and rural communities are able
to pass these tests than in cities. This
is accounted for by the fact that city
schools have physical training and or
ganized play.
Thursday afternoon on the high
chool playground, Miss Ruth Sher-
burn Of the Playground and Recrea-
tion Association Of America, who is
in Bedding to organize community re-
creation, will conduct these tests for
the children of the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades.

BLAZE WEDNESDAY
DAMAGED HOUSE

\ The dwelling house of Mr.. and Mrs.
Phil Bedding on the north side was
badly damaged by fire Wednesday
morning. When the alram was
sounded the fire department made a
quick run and succeeded in putting
out the blaze, but not until the upper
story of the house was badly danag-
ed.
Mr.. Bedding was up early to go on
fishing trip, but built no fire and
his wife used the gas stove in the
morning. Most of the contents below
were saved but very little was taken
from the. upper rooms.
1t is thought the fire caught in the
attic around the chimney and smould-
cred for some time before breaking
out.

The following original poem IS
rom the pen Of Mrs. Mel Gilmore of
Shiloh:
am standing meath the pine trees
And they whisper 10 me low
on the happy days departed:
Dear days Of long ago
In the silence Of their shadows
A 4 child used to roam;
Happy In the peaceful forests
OF Michigan. Ny Home
And a. childhood drifted from me.
still the whisper tells me low
OF the days when LIES old story
Was repeated low once more
And they tell mo Of higher power
That watches while We roam
Beneath the s1kies Of Michigan:
Dear Michigan, Ny Home.
Where can state or country fAirer
Than Michigan be found:
How happy We who dwell here
On its sacred peaceful ground
The birds their welcome carol
Brieht flowers nod and bloom
while soft the pine trees whisper
In Michigan, Ny Home
Michigan SGichieanI Home Of the patriots
How happy We who dwell here
Beside its ripgling streams.
when fades 1ifes last glad moments.
May the pine trees Whispering moan
Bring quiet rest unto my soul
In Michigan. Ny Home. t
