GLEE CLUBS PLEASED
AUDIENCE AT CONCERT
Gymnasium Occupied To Doors
Friday Evening. Students Of
fer Fine Program

The two glee clubs of the Willmar
High School appeared in a concert
program last Friday evening before
an audience which taxed the seating
and standing space of the new gym
nasium.' The audience was far larger
than had been anticipated. The two
singing clubs had been we'll trained
by Miss Nell S. Robbins and acquitted
themselves most acceptably in all the
various numbers. Each of the clubs
rendered songs separately while
songs by both of the organizations
were also rendered. The piano ron.
ditions of Gladys Peterson and Nora
Swenson were very pleasing. The
vocal solOists, Agnes Paulson, Beat
rice Eckwall, Dortha Coss, Nora
Strand, Pearl Johnson, Walter Ryk-
ken, Reuben Lundquist, and Loyal
Tallackson deserve special mention.
The impersonation and recitation
number by Elvira Redlund brot the
young lady the usual applause and
approval of the audience.
Selections from the Messiah 0y
Handel were included in the second
part of the program and was we'll rem
dered. The program selected from
this oratorio contained arias, solos
and recitatives sung by glee clubs
members and the we'll known and
beautifully composed "Hallelujah'
Chorus. The latter was the conclud.
ing number which many preferred to
disturb by early leaving as is custom
ary among American audiences.

Decision

At a meeting held last Thursday
evening in the H. S. gymnasium by
members of the American Legion in

ketban quint, it was decided that such
a team should be organized. It was
thot advisable to welcome the SER
vices of any player in the city not
member of the local post and in
this way secure the support of every
one following the sport. Some of the
boys down at the Roundhouse had
planned upon organizing CUNTS thus
making several teams in the city
with prospects of creating more con-
fusion In out-of-city contests and each
OF the teams weakened by this div
ision Of basketball material. It was
the sentiment of all to organize an
American Legion five to which any
man in the city is eligible The team
thus secured would wear the Legion
uniform and be ruled by it's regula.

Bio Track Force Cut

During the last week the large force
of men on the repair track in the local
railroad yards numbering over 100
employees has been diminished to
about 40 men. The over SO per cent
men dropped were laid off according to
the length of time employed on the
track. More may be laid off in the
future but nothing definite is known
before specific orders come in. Pros
poets for the return of the men to
work are not as dim as some picture
them and it is hoped that when the
better times return the great number
of men dropped from the pay roll
will be placed again.

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With CAL
otabS, the Purified and
Refined CalomeI Tablets
That Are NauseaIess, Safe
and Sure.

Doctors have found by expert
ence that no medicine for colds and
influenza can be depended upon for
full effectiveness until the liver Is
made thoroughly active. That is
why the first step in the treatment
is the new, nausealess calOmel tab
let called Calotabs, which are free
from the siCkening and weakening
effects of the old style calomel.
Doctors also point out the fact that
IAN active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and
is one OF the most important fac
tors in enabling the patient to sue
cessfully Withstand an attack and
ward off pneumonia,
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water
that's all, No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is
purified, and you are feeling fine,
with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only
in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. Your money will
he cheerfully refunded if you do
not find them delighttul-(Adv.)

coin Day dinner Of the Utica Rcpubli-

American people never would countn-
nance such policy and warned against
what he called "a sinister movement
Of small coterie Of public officials"
seeking to dominate the affairs OF the
country.
Senator Poindexter expressed the
opinion that the rank and file OF labor
was against the movement and that
it would be promptly and effectively
met He said:
"Mr. Gompers curses Congress, but
is not specific in his complaints. On
the contrary, his announcement states
that all Of the essential legislation in
labor's bill of grievances Of 1906 was
enacted. This proclamation states
that the free institutions of our coun-
try are menaced,' but the only specific
reference is to the proposed anti
strike legislation. The right to throt-
tie the transportation of the nation,
on which the lives of the people de-
pend, is not one of our free institu-
tions.' Unfortunately for labor, as
we'll as for the whole country, it has
on it's staff some Communist writer's
who know great deal more about the
use Of language than they do either
about government or about work. Con-
gress has sided with the officials of
the American Federation of Labor in
opposition to anti-strike legislation,
the only specific issue that it men
toned, and still it is denounced as
'reactionary' and as endangering the
ideals. Of democracy
"1'he farmers and the laboring men
of America have in every crisis been
the great bulwark Of our free institu-
tions, and they will not follow the mis-
taken leadership which would place the

have grown powerful by the contribu-
tions they have levied upon labor and
who would use that power to coerce
and intimidate the government Of the
Constitution. This government within
the government is not ruled by labor,
but is an autocracy Of a few leaders
who would not only impose their will
upon labor itself, but would now ex-
tend 1t, not only by the ballot, but by
strikes and starvation to the entire
people of the United States"

Lincoln's Manuscript Is
Read BY Senator Keyes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE orgi-

Gettysburg's address was read in the
Senate to-day by Senator Keyes, Re-
publican, New Hampshire.
The manuscript, presented by Mr..
Lincoln to Edward Everett, has been
in the possession of Senator Keyes's
family for several years.
In the House the Rev. Henry N.
Couden, chaplain, in his opening
prayer said:
"To-day we would sing, with all true
Americans, songs of praise to Thee for
our beloved Lincoln--a man of God,
called of God to be the savior of his
country in its darkest hour; pure in
his conceptions, strong in his convic-
tions, firm in his purposes, great in his
goodness, good in his greatness, the
paragon of American citizenship, who
bore in his heart the sorrows of a ma
ton and laid down his life that it
might live. But he lives, his country
lives. May his life, character and
achievements inspire us to follow his
illustrious example!"

Freight Ban Is Placed
On Silk Due to Thefts

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Losses
through theft Of silk from railroad
cars have forced amendments to the
consolidated rate classification which
prohibit the transportation of that
commodity by freight in less than car
load lots after February 29, the rail-
road administration announced to
night. While the reduction in freight
revenue as a result Of the order will
be great, the losses sustained by the
railroads through payment of claims
have exceeded the freight charges sew
eral times.
Hundreds of protests already have
reached the railroad administration
against the proposed change in classi-
