BENSON DEFEATED
IN ROUGH ENCOUNTER

| The Willmar High School eleven
took things easy in the game with
Benson last Saturday and were satis-
fed with only seven points while hold
ing the BensOnites to a blank. The
game lacked ginger and pep. Willmar
trudged along making periodical
spurts here and there but it's playing
was minus long runs, large line gains
or sensational plays. The ball moved
slowly in the possession of either side.
Benson was somewhat more lazy iii
it's work than Willmar and resorted
ITO rough practices to gain a score
and stop the advance Of the locals.
The game was characterized by much
| unmanly methods on the part of Ben
son. She freely adopted fistic tactics
and other foul means to achieve vic
tory and hold the Willmar men who
would otherwise have annexed a few
more points. The only score of the
game was made in the second quarter
when by line plunging and mass work
the oval was showed over and goal
kicked making the first and final score
70 in Willmar's favor. Linn made the
touchdown The only instance where
Benson appeared at all dangerous was
when she reached the 8 yard line but
was effectively held for four downs
and Willmar got the ball. No long
runs for either side marked the game.
Benson attempted several forward
passes and completed one or two but
without netting them noticeable
gains. Willmar failed to make her
passes count
Willmar had a large crowd of root
ers to back up the team and if the
teams lacked pep and real football
spirit the crowd didn't as the cheer
ing was pitched high thruout the
game. The regretful phase of the
game was the means employed by
Benson in a vain endeavor to score.
Football is too old and established,
it's rules are too well known and it's
standard Of sportsmanship is too high
to allow and tolerate any 'dirty'
work between High School teams
where the manner of playing ought
to be the cleanest. Such actions of
Benson brot them nothing but the
censure and criticism of followers of
manly football

PRODUCERS IN A KICK
Declare Egg Prices Set by I2emper
Commission Too Low.

Declare Egg Prices SSt 2oS 5Aehpef
Commission Too Low.
From the poultry raisers come loud
protests against the fixing of prices on
eggs. aEmery johnson, of Emmett,
kan, who won second prize in The
State Journals high cost of living
contest, and Mrs. d. A. Collins, of Erie,
Kan, have written The State Journal
protesting against the egg prices fixed
by the fair price committee for Shaw
nee county. They point out that at
this time of year eggs cannot be pro-
duced for so cents a dozen and that
such action would drive the poultry
raisers out of business. Mrs. Collins
takes a healthy slap at the society
women of Topeka
II wish to say to these women" she
says. ''if they will come to my poultry
farm for enc day. follow me and see
the work I do, to say nothing about
the feed used-hen feed, 81 to 8 so
per cwt. wheat. 81 to $3.50 bushel;
corn chop, $3.50 per cwt.; bran, S2.10
to $3.50 per cwt.; kafir corn, So pr
cwt.; in addition to which they must
have green food-and to say nothing
of range, housing, cleaning, Grating
and shipping eggs, then to say SO
cents is enough at this time of the
year is far worse than the profiteers
are doing to the producers.
She accuses the women of being the
cause of the scarcity of eggs, and
points out that the experience of the
poultry raisers las year when egg
prices dropped and grain prices scared
was a bitter lesson" She makes the
assertion that there is SO per cent less
poultry being kept on the farm this
winter from this one cause.
johnson writes, in part:
II wish to congratulate the grocers
of Topeka for not accepting the price
fixing that is being attempted by the
committee. -. That kind of a
policy will work fine to discourage
production which now is at a low ebb
There can be no confidence in the
future market of the producer if some
commission has the right 20 fix the
price of an article, compelling the
producer to contribute to an unworthy
cause and the retailer to run his bust
ness at a loss. l don't think the aver
age American needs a guardian placed
over him In time of peace, telling him
what must be paid for an article and
what 1t must sell for."~

THE NET TIGHTENS

to drive them to the oil fields.
According to County Attorney r. T.
McClugeage, the investigation is NOV
ing rapidly and every clue that can be
picked up is being used by the officers
against Lane. The officers believe
Lane Is the strongest clue they have
found so far. His manner of dress
when arrested. and the description of
one of the four men believed to have
killed Gossett. tally in nearly every de-
tail. 1t Is the opinion of officers that
If Lane Is one of the four men, he will
"squeaT' on the other three. McClug-
gage said today. Lane does not know
Yet whether he has been identified or
not. All that he knows about the case
is that he is being held as a suspect.
He is said to be growing nervous and
showing signs of emotion.

THEY QUIT KIMONO

Miss Hawai- 'NThe majority of in

The result is women can no longer

Women of ordinary circumstances
in Japan have fifty or SO dresses made
of linen, cotton, silk or mixed, ma
terials, varying with the use to be
made of them. In addition the
Japanese women must have at least
two kinds of coats. one cut with. a
square neck and one with an ordinary
ki1nono neck.
THESE dresses are made by hand
and must be ripped apart at least once
a year, Numbered or cleaned and put

BARBER is YOUR FRIEND
He Takes Place of Barkeep in
Condolences OF the New Fathers,
and Other Trouble Keepers.
Exit bartender.
T1-4o

Enter barber.
Hail to a new star in the role of
play, Mankind" which re- enjoyed
such an unprecedented run.
In the days gone by, memory of
which is not yet dim. the bartender
was mere mans confidant. He was
the man who could always be depend
ed on to LEND a sympathetic ear to a
tale OF woe or an equally encouraging
and congratulatory member to an out
burst of good news. In those days
when a man was beset with a great
grief-real or imaginary-he could
walk into saloon, throw an arm af-
1ectionately about the shoulder of his
be-aproned friend and pour out his
troubles while the barkeep poured out
the ale. Or, if he had come by a
great piece OF fortune. who would evil
Their of fizzes? Now congress has
changed all this and the barkeep is as
extinct as the Dodo bird.
But man could not get along with
barber, who had already been "unz
derstudying" the barkeeper, for the
job.
Pouring Out TROUBLES.
Now. one can go to a barber shop
at. almost any hour of the day and
hear some fellow pouring out his life
history thru a crack in a face towel or
between strokes of a razor. He will
get soap in his mouth, but what mat
tiers that? He is talking and has an
audience.
When a baby is born. who is the
first to hear about it down town? The
barber. No sooner has the proud
father bounced into the chair than he
says, Say, you aughta see my kid
born this mornin'-weighs ten pounds
Tor more)-perfec'ly formed-looks
like his daddy they say" ETC., etc.
Then the barber enjoys a cigar.
When a man meets with business
reverses. he now carries his woes to
the barber who listens and consoles,
som etimes advises. This latter gent
will probably lsave some worse catas-
trophe that befell him once to relate
in reply. Some BARRIERS would have
had to have lived zoo years to have
had all the experiences they lay claim
to- even if these experiences had fol-
lowed on consecutive days.
Secrets Cost More.
The barber shop long has been the
forum of political goSsipers. At few
times during the day does a shop not
contain at least one man who could
run the nation or state better than
the present governments and he is not
bashful about telling how he would
do it. Many political campaigns are
won or lost in a barber shop months
before they end.
Yes, BARRIERS have had to take the
place of the bartender as the male
public's confidant. They increased
their rates recently. Perhaps this was
to cover the new services they are
called on to render.
