And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

ENJOYABLE CONCERT AT j
LUTHERAN SYNOD CHURCH

One of Willmar's native sons ap-
pears with three other represents
t1ves of the Mozart Club of Manitowoc,
Wisconsin, in exceptionally fine musi-
cal program. -
Willmar has reason to feel proud
of many of her sons who have destin-
uished themselves in different fields
of endeavor. Rev. E. A. Boyd of Mani
towOc, Wisconsin, is a. Willmar boy
who came back last Wednesday ev-
ening, bringing with him, three other
musical artists. They gave a concert
at the United Lutheran Synod church
and it was one of the best and most
enjoyable concerts heard in this city
for many day.
Mr.. Boyd first played the clarinet
as a member of the Willmar' Semin-
ary band. Later he became clarinet
soloist with the Luther College band
of Decorah, Iowa, and today he ranks
with the best of them as a concert
clarinetist.
Every member of the company was
an artist of the first rank. Orville
Westfor on the violin demonstrated
unusual ability and pleased his audi
enoe immensely. He rendered the
most difficult selections in masterfu1
manner. His violin spoke 80 clearly
and beautifully that no one could help
but understand and enjoy it.
Miss Anna Kubosch, who has had
grand opera experience, sang several
selections. She has beautiful rich
clear voice and her singing pleased
everyone.
Mr.. F. F. Horstmeiers accompanied
the soloists on the pipe organ and
his work was Of such a nature that
the whole audience was talking about
it when the concert was over. He has
an exceptionally fine full strong base
voice too and sang one solo and the
only regret was that he did not sing
more and offer a pipe organ solo.
The pipe organ, violin, clarinet and
soprano Quartettes were exceptionally
fine.
The concert lasted one hour and
fifteen minutes and the only COM
plant We have heard is that it did
not last twice as long.
It was given under the auspices of
the Young Peoples Society.

|*0VER THE TOP" IN
CITY AND COUNTY
Chairman Oden Says That Kandi-
yohi County Has Subscribed Its
Quota of Victory Loan.

kandiyohi County has gone "over
the top in the Victory Loan The
City of Willmar has also passed the
mark Of buying the Victory notes al
lotted to its people. While details are
lacking, and there are yet some re-
ports and odds and ends to be ac-
counted for, this much is known that
the people of both City and County
have subscribed the full amount ask
ed of them. There really was never
any doubt about that they would, but
still the accomplishment brings re-
lief ar.d satisfaction to County Chair
man C. w. Odell and the committees
>charged with the responsibility of Sc
curing subscriptions.

SOLDIERS ATTEND
SPECIAL SERVICE
Patriotic Service at Synod Church
in Honor of Returned SOL
diers.

The special service at the Synod
church last Sunday evening for re-
turned soldier boys was an impress
sive event with the building packed
to the doors. Thirteen boys repre-
senting that many of the nearly fifty
stars on the service flag Of the church,
attended in uniform in a body and
there were other returned soldiers in
the audience. Some Of the boys are
still in France and others are return
ing, but it was deemed best to have
this service before those who have
returned would be scattered.
Miss Marie Berg at the pipe organ
played patriotic selections. At the
first strains Of the Star Spangled Ban
ner, the audience arose and remained
standing as the soldier boys marched
from the basement to the pews re-
served for them which were decor
ated in red, white and blue. Potted
plants, flags and cut flowers made a
beautiful effect in the church.
The opening service was conducted
in the usual way. Rev. Andersen, the
pastor, read the Tooth psalm, which
as hymn Of praise was most appro-
pirate. The church had a special
cause for thanksgiving, the pastor
said, in the fact that of the nearly
fifty boys which it had sent forth, not
a one was represented by gold star,
neither from wounds nor disease al
belt some had been severely wounded.
The theme for the pastors dis
course was, "What the War has
Taught U.s." One of the telling points
made was that the war has awakened
the latent patriotism of our people
both naturalized and native born, and
made all more fully realize what it
means to be citibzen of this Ameri-
can Republic. The speaker referred
to the case of Jacob Riis, the author,
who when lying ill in Copenhagen,
was stirred by the appearance of an
American flag in the harbor to real
ize fully that he had become, heart
and soul, an American.
At the close of the address, the au.
dience arose and sang, God Bless
Our Native Land" Mr.. William Ryk
ken sang two Victory songs, and the
service closed in the usual way.

A Novel Illusion.

A foxy contraption has been Install
ed by Ben Benson in the window of
his plumbing shop. A disconnected
faucet fastened to couple of wires
is made to hang in midair, but from it's
mouth there comes a continuous
stream of water. Where does the
water come from? Is it an optical
illusion Or is it real stream of
water? 1t will bother you to figure
out the problem.
