WRIST MANCLED
IN GUN ACCIDENT
A. G. Molander Injured When
Loaded Gun Accidentally
Discharged

While in the act Of removing among
many other articles, a loaded single
barreled shot gun from his motor car,
at his residence Friday afternoon, A.
G. Molander suffered severely
wounded wrist when the weapon ac-
cidentally discharged Mr. Molander
had used the car on a hunting trip and
had left his equipment including the
gun in the car. Intending to remove
same into the house he picked up the
gun and other articles and in some
manner it was discharged. The char
ge struck Mr.. Molander's left fore

badly mangled. DR.. I. S. Benson of
the Union Clinic was called immedi-
ately and dressed the wound. He was
taken to the Rest Hospital where a
careful examination was made of his
injury. 1t appears that no amputation
will be necessary as was at first fear
ed. Mr.. Molander's friends are pleas
ed to learn that he will retain the
member. He is getting along very
nicely at this time.

MOST IN HISTORY
Largest Volume of Mail on 9TH
Day Before Christina. In
History

= Folks actuall seem to have finally
learned quite thoroiy the lesson that
early Christmas mailing guarantees
practically that Christmas parcels will
reach their destination. Our post.
master tells US that on Monday which
was the seventh day before Christ
mas, saw the largest volume Of mail
entered at the Willmar postofice in
it's history. This heavy mailing on
Monday indicates an improvement in
mailing parcels at Christmas season
During Christmas time it appears
that those who give and those who re-
ceive find delight in the act while the
mail carrier and clerk has the burden
CT the work in carrying for the mail.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Nearly 1000 years ago the Judaean
hills resounded with the glad song Of
the angels:
"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men,"
The Christ of God had come; born
of a virgin, in Bethlehem of Judaea,
even as God had said. Since that hour.
men have found peace only in Him;
peace with God, peace with men, peace
with self within. The needs Of today
are inherently the needs Of peace and
good will. Solution of problems in.
ternational and domestic, depends up
on and centers about the hope Of
peace. Shall we not turn to the Christ
of Peace, knowledge Of whom guar
antees the fruition Of our highest
hopes of freedom peace, and good
will. '...+..-.,
May this Christmas be to you a
Merry Christmas indeed; partak:ng
Of the spirit OF the Christ in every
part:cular-J Renwick Mccullough,

NEW PASTOR FOR
MISSION CHURCH
Rev. G. A. Younsshom Ha. Ae.
cepted Call To Serve Swed.
Mission Church Here

Rev. G. A. Youngstrom of the Beth
ania Mission Church in Minneapolis,
has formally accepted the call to serve
the Swedish Mission Church congre
cation in the city. He will assume his
new charge here on April first Rev.
YOungstrom while conducting services
in the local church some time ago,
made very favorable impression and
his acceptance Of the call has been re-
ceived with much pleasure by the con-
gregation.
Rev Youngstrom is a comparatively
young man of experience in the min
istry but is viewed as one Of the most
capable pastors in the covenant He
is fluent speaker both in the Swed'
ish and English languages, Is good
singer and above all, has good Chris
tian personality.
He has been pastor for three years.
The Bethania congregation numbered
in its fold as many souls as the local
congregation.
The reason for his delay in assum-
ing his duties here are that his work
at the Bethania and at Minnehaha
Academy necessitate him staying n
II rneapolis until il the spring He
las class OF confrmants on whom
he wishes to confer the rite of con
firmation. Also he is instructor in
Minnehaha Academy and it would be
difficult to close his work there dur
ing the middle of the school term. Fur
thermore he wishes to give his con-
gregation three months advance not
ice of his leaving.
In the meantime the pulpit in the To-
cal congregation will be occupied by
Rev. Nathaniel Franklin and Dr. o. r.

HEPAVlNG BONDS
HAVE BEEN SOLD
$25o,0 to 100000 Certificates
We're Sold Monday Night at
Six Per Cent Par

The Willmar paving program for
1922 is now an assured fact. The coun-
Gil will have the cash to offer contrac-
tors when proposals are called for ear
ly next year, and that will mean ad-
vantageous bids. A joint option bid
by representatives of Gates, White &
Co.. Wells-Dickey Co., and Kalman,
Wood e Co., to take the issue at six
per cent par value, and pay for all eX-
pert legal service and costs of bonds
was confirmed by the respective hou-
ses by telegram last night.
The special meeting of the city
council called for the purpose of con-
sidering bids for furnishing money
opened rather gloomily. No sealed
bids had been fled Representatives
of five financial institutions were pres
ent however, These houses were Ga
tes. White & Co., who purchased the
last summer, WellsDicky Co.. Kalman,
Wood & Co., Drake-Ballard Co., and
First National Bank Of St. Paul. Am
ong local citizens who showed an in
terest in this big transaction by their
presence were C. w. Odell, P. B. Hong
Samuel Nelson and VIM O. Johnson.
After some preliminary discussion
open bids were taken which was start
ed by Mr. Quist for the First National
Bank of St. Paul at 81 A recess was
taken to give the representatives time
to consult their chiefs. BY small de-
grees the bidding proceeded. The
high point at 97-74 was reached by
raised. The council went into exc
cutive session and rejected all bids
and called for new bids to be opened
jan 18th.
The point which prevented the hou-
ses from not making better bids was
the undesirability to investors of Sc
curities of short time certificates run
ming from two to eleven years. Had
the time been extended to fifteen or
twenty years better bids were prom
ised. But the. council was loath to
compel property ty-owners to continue to
pay interest on assessments any long
er than eleven years and so refused to
GXCSuu IuG tine. lu6 Sl6dC dI1Ou1lL VI
such short time certificates also made
each bond house timid about assum-
ing the task of disposing Of them at
a better figure. The limit the instruc-
tions from the houses had placed was
$3.50.
Before the council adjourned three
representatives. of the houses first
named above had a consultation and
asked 70: JOINT option bid to take
the certificates as called fer at par, the
bid to be referred to the respective
houses AID subject to Geographic ac-
ceptance within twenty-fOur hours.
This bid was accepted by the council
and agreement signed. At five o'clock
yesterday the deal was ratified over
the wires.
This sale of securities, the largest
in the history of the city, removes all
uncertainty as to the imn1e ediate pro
ceeding with the paving program and
a busy winter is in prospect for the
council in determining many features
of the work
