Festival in this city to be held
this Thursday evening. The
large evergreen has been rails
ed and put into place support
ed by the f1agpole standing op-
posite to the Great Northern
stetion. The electricians have
1oeen busy stringing the tree
with colored bulbs which when

the tree and have charge of the

and policing of the crowds as
we'll. Santa Claus will arrive
on the scene with his bells

carols and in unison will be led
in singing by Mrs. Sophus Lar
sen. They will march in COL
INN formation from different
parts Of the city which will
bring them in a solid body ar
ound the tree where Santa can
conveniently distribute the
presents.
Business men and those from
whom solicitations were made
contributed literally to the
Christmas Tree Fund. We are
] publishing on another page
| the complete list of those per-
Isons making donations for this
? purpose. The committee re-
ports over $400 raised.
The various numbers on the
program outside of the COM
munity singing are not known
as the committee desires to
create a surprise with some of
it's planned features.
The Willmar Municipal band
will play during the evening
with music especially appro-
pirate for the Yuletide season.
A squad of uniformed Ameri-
can Legion men will officer the
crowds and maintain order
and quiet during the program,
The ladies of the Women's
Civic Club have been busy pre-
, pairing to assist Saint Nick with
his presents and it is expected
that 2100 children will be the
recipients of something good
from that kind old soul.

MANY COUNTY STUDENTS
AT NORRIS SCHOOL
Students Home For Christmas Va
cations are Pleased With In
struction Received

The number of students
from Kandiyohi County attend
ing the West Central School of
Agriculture at Morris has been
increasing each year. During
the past fall term10 boys and
girls from the county attended
this school. Seven different
townships Of the county have
representatives at this school.
Kandiyohi taking the lead with
two boys and two girls.
Miss Clara Olson, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Olson of
Burbank and Miss Adelia Ros-
ke, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. A. Roske Of St. Johns have
been taking courses in Home
economics and business train
ing. In addition to their regu-
lar work they have taken pi-
ano instructions. They are al
so members Of the glee club,
and they have joined the Ceres
Literary Club at the school.
Harry Hallberg, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hallberg of
Green Lake and Russell Berg,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Berg
Of Kandiyohi and John Eddy,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Ed
dy of Whitefield, Monroe Gun
nufson, son of Mr.. and Mrs. N.
T. Gunnufson Of Norway Lake,
have been taking courses in
Agronomy and Engineering.
After vacation they will take
up automobile mechanics and
Electric Engineering in addi-
tion to their regular Agricul-
tural course.
Misses Hazel and Florence
Bergquist and brother John of
the c. o. Bergquist home have
been attending the School Of
Agriculture. Hazel and John
are juniors while Florence be-
gan her work this fall. During
the semester Mr.. Bergquist
visited the school on two dif-
ferent occasions and has TAX
en- much interest in work which
has been done at the farm
school. The girls are taking
courses in Home Economics
and John is taking the regular
Agricultural course.
Edna Berg of Lake Lillian is
also attending the school.
These boys and girls have
only the highest terms Of praise
for the training they are re-
ceiving at the West Central
School of Agriculture. This
seems to be just the school for
especially the boys and girls
from the farms who do not
care to take a complete High
school and College course. At
the time the school is in opera
ton it is 50 arranged that it
works as we'll as possible with
the operations on the farms.
The boys and girls are
crowded with all the work
that they can do while they
are attending the school. The
work is largely Laboratory and
Shop work of practical nature
which appeals to this class of
boys and girls. The Dormit-
ory system of rooming and the
big Boarding club afford the
best possible democratic and
social training. At the same
time this is the most economi-
cal way Of living. These are
undoubtedly some of the rea-
sons for the popularity Of the
school. It is. believed that
practically everyone of the
] above will return January Bird

He repaired toHhe Chinese doctor. who
was armed N.ith a lot Of sharp
needles of various sizes and lengths,
and lis method Of treatment was
and still is known as acupuncture.
This operation consisted of the inser.
of the body. the choice points of Sc
lection being &c for toothache and six
others for inflammation Of the gums.
The depth to which the needles were

portant point IN the operation. This
puncturing was associated with eau
tcriZation.

JOHN BURKE'S TRIAL

side--Many Cases

timony Probably Eliminated

Unless sickness intervenes the case
of State VS.. John A. Burke of Jack
man charged with the murder of Mel
son w. BARLEY last October at Moose
River will be heard at the September
term of court. 1t is probable that
considerable testimony introduced at
the trial last January. when the ju-
ry failed to agree, will be eliminated
at the coming hearing. 1t was stated
Tuesday that II was undecided as to
the matter of introducing the expert
witnesses who occupied so much of
the time at the last trial with their
testimony. The trial will follow the
disposition of the civil docket but no
principal time has yet been assigned
Attorney General Sturgis and County
Attorney Merrill will appear for the
State with w. r. Pattangall. Thomas
Leigh and Chester H. Mills for the
respondent.
The term commences September p
with Judge Scott Wilson of Portland
presiding. This Is Judge Wilson S
first term of court in Somerset Coun-
ty. The dockets which have been
placed in the hands of the printers
contain 240 civil cases with "a on the
equity docket and 30 on the criminal
