fellow, the Poet,

We had crossed our legs and put
our feet on the Office table. Small
clods of Willmar clay had fallen off
our No. lis and dropped on the
blank sheet of paper on which we
were about to write an editorial on
the purity of American politics.
We took out our pipe for a sooth-
ing smoke, but found the tobacco
sack empty and nary a match at
the bottom of the lining of our vest.
Thru the second patch on the knee
OF our trousers was plainly visible
the calloused cuticle of our knee
pan.
We tapped the pan with our pipe
and the sound awoke the Office cat
sleeping in the waste basket. Poor
old cat! He had been dreaming of
home and mother and of the days
when H. c. of L. stood for some
thing better than Hash Chopped of
Liver. He stared at us with a hun
cry look in his big sad green eyes
as If begging for bread. Poor

GRAND CONCERT
EVENT TUESDAY
Gustavian Concert Company t
Render Classical Program
Before Willmar Audience

One of the best musical programs
ever given before an audience in this
vicinity will be rendered at the Park
Auditorium next Tuesday Evening by
the Gustavian Concert Company. This
company of musicians have establish
ed an excellent reputation as being
exceptionally talented along classical
and semi-classical musical lines and
have been welcomed by large houses
at every point on their extended tour
Of this state. Their programs include
the choicest and most we'll known of
the masterpieces in composition with
delightful addition here and there
of the best known Swedish songs
which will be familiar to all those of
Scandinavian extraction. The COM
pany's personnel includes A. Waldo
mar Anderson, pianist; Walter Scott
Johnson, violinist; Arthur W. Ryberg
tenor soloist and Lyle H. Perry cell
list. Prof. Anderson is the head of the
conservatory of music at Gustavus
Adolphus College and is recognized
as being one of the most skillful and
talented pianists now appearing be-
fore audiences in the Northwest.
"Scotty' Johnson. as he is Familiarity
called, Is the instructor of violin at
Gustavus and his control and mastery
of his instrument was demonstrated
some years ago before a local audi
ence. Prof. Arthur W. Ryberg pos
sesses SPLENDID tenor voice being a
soloist of the Apollo Club of Mime
apolis. Mr. Perry, the cellist is an
artist in his use of the cello and will
offer some of his best renditions be-
fore the local enthusiasts of his
instrument. The musical treat which
the people of Willmar will be given
ought to attract all those who find
satisfaction and enjoyment in hearing
what is best in music and having it
produced in an artistic way. Events
of this nature rarely find their way to
| this city and all should avail them
selves of this golden opportunity of
hearing musical numbers of the first
class. The price of admission is but
fifty cents for adults and is placed as
low as possible in order to permit as
many as possible to attend the grand
concert. The date is Tuesday even
ing, June 18th at the Park Audi
forum.

FREE BANNERS
IN GREAT FALLS

The State of Montana has a law pro-
hibiting the display Of red flags. The
city fathers of Great Falls thot they
would go the state one better, by pro-
hibiting the display Of all banners in

jealous in following a fashion. That is
what happended at Great Falls The
workers determined, prohibition or no
prohibition to have free banners. And
they got them.
The story, written for the American
Civil Liberties Union by the secretary
of the local lodge Of the brotherhood
of Railway Carmen, runs as follows:

carrying a banner. A tine of fifty dol

ed on any person who violated this or
dinance. But there was no fine impos-

other companies displaying signs.
