ty nurse drew applause as the Red
Cross nurse while the vets sang The
Rose Of No Mans Land" Rosamond
Gerretson very affectively carried out
the pose Of Joan of Arc while the sing
ers sang a song by that name. Mrs
J. A. Curran took the role of mother
reading letter from her boys across
the seas while the song Mother Ma
chree" was rendered.
The succeeding tableau of the Red
Cross and its mission was unusually
well portrayed. Russell Curran typi-
he'd the discharged ex-service man and
Gerta Rasmussen the Red Cross
nurse. The conversation carried on
In the scene was written by Rev.
j. r. Mccullough. The theme of the
tableau was to impress upon the audi
ence the fact that the work of the ex-
service man closed with his discharge
from the military service while the
work OF the Red Cross nurse had Just
begun. To her lot fell the RESPONSE
bllity of taking care Of the sick and dis
abled veterans, to bring aid and sue
cor to the poor and other humane
work in civil life. The two principals
In the tableau merit praise for the
parts they contributed.
The crippled children in the scene
were Kenneth Johnson and Douglas
Gerrettson, the blind child, Betty Dan
ie!dson, the disabled soldier, Arthur
Swenson, the immigrant mother Myra
Ruddy, the poor children Alberta Tay-
lor and Billy Ruddy, and the tornado
victims were Charles Davis, Myrtle
Ruddy and Helen Rodberg. The
health posters exhibited were borne
by members of the Junior Red Cross
of the city.
Judge R. T. DAILY Of Renville then
delivered the Armistice Day address.
The judge talked in a very pleasing
style and made a very favorable inn,
preston with his audience. He made
a plea for the father who was forgot
ten in the tableau which had been
staged and stated that the daddy also
deserved mention as having sacrificed
and suffered during the struggle. The
Judge expressed his faith in the hope
of humanity for peace in the world
and some covenant of the nations to
maintain world wide peace. He
touched on the bonus question and the
purposes of the American Legion and
commended both, expressing, how
ever, some hesitancy about carving
out the former at this time.
The judge in the brief time which
he was allotted covered a number of
matters all appropriate of the day.
Inc ceremony of the flag was the
last and very pleasing tableau and
recitation. Miss Lille Noren very ably
look the role of Goddess of Liberty
and delivered recitation which
wound thru the ceremony in a clear
and acceptable manner. Margaret
Splcer and Dorothy Diffendorf were
the herald girls attending Miss Noren

Armistice Day Program in Willmar
Most Fittingly Observed; Fall I
en- Dead Are Honored

The observance of 1921 Armistice
Day was fittingly carried out last Fri
day and was declared by all to have
been a most pleasing success. The
day, tho cold, did not restrain the citi-
zens from coming to town to view the
parade and to- attend the program at
the Dreamland theater in the after
noon. business places displayed flags
and were closed during the day.
The parade and program was
planned by the HanscOm post of the
American Legion and the Ladies Aux
iliary of the post A committee COM
posed of Charles Ekander, chairman,
Sig Nelson and Arthur Hanson of the
legion had complete charge of the pa
rade and committee Of the Auxiliary
composed of Miss Winifred Sherwood,
Mrs. Herbert Wadell and Miss Marion
Gratz prepared and supervised the
program at the Dreamland theater.
Mrs. Albin Carlson, vice president of
the Auxiliary officially assisted the
committee and arranged for musical
numbers.
The parade in the morning began
at II o'clock All participants in the
parade had assembled at the court
house at that hour.
At the stroke of the hour of II
o'clock bells in the city began pealing
a solemn toll while the veterans stood
at parade rest" for period of two
minutes. This tribute was paid to the
soldier dead of all the wars and in par
ticular to the unknown dead which
the entire nation was honoring.
Buglers at three stations in the city
played taps while the uniformed men
stood in rigid attention. 1t was to be
regretted that so many in the audi
ence failed to understand the mean
ing of the ceremony and neglected to
removed their head coverings.
The Willmar Municipal Band was
present, volunteering their services
free of charge, but the cold weather
having incapacitated their instruments
they were unable to render any
marching music. The drums furnished
the only music" Sheriff Peter
Bonde, Chief of Police Ole Westgard,
Mayor V. E. Lawson and County Au-
ditor Samuel Nelson followed the
band. Then came the Civil war vet
Grams in their uniforms with their post
banner followed by the Spanish war
veterans and finally the ex-service
men of the World war. All veterans
came out in large numbers. Much
credit is due the veterans of the Civil
and Spanish wars for their cO-opera-
ton with the legion boys in the OBJ
servance of Armistice Day The legion
boys came out in large numbers. The
column of marching men extended for
two blocks. Following the ex-serv-.
men were two floats, one entitled

How Not to Take Cold

Some persons are subject to fire.
Quent colds, while others seldom, if
ever, have a cold You will find that
the latter take good care of themsel-
YES. They take a shower or cold
sponge bath every day in warm
room, avoid over heated rooms, sleep
with a window open or partly open,
avoid excuses, over eating, becoming
over heated and then chilled and get
ting the feet wet. Then, when they
feel the first indication of cold, they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
without delay and it is soon over

"Iest We Forget" which contained
three improvised graves with helmets
placed upon them and marked by Am
erican flags and another of the Rec
Cross. Several motor cars followed
and brought up the end of the. process
sion. The parade marched dowr
Becker Ave. then north on Sixth tt
Pacific, down Pacific Ave. to Fourth
street, then west on Litchfield to Fifth
street and down this street to the
court house where the ranks were dis
missed.
Program at 'Theater
The program at the Dreamland the
alter began at about 80. The full
capacity of the theater was taxed. Vet
Grams of the Civil and Spanish wars
were given reserved seats toward the
front of the theater.
The program began with a bugle
call by Clarence Granoski from a con
cealed position under the stage, Civ
ing the call distant tone which was
very effective. The the Willmar band
played a stirring martial air.
The curtain, then rolled upward,
revealed a trench scene in "No Mans
Land" Donald Hahn gave, in clear
voice, the recitation "November
Eleventh.. A group of veterans com
posed of Sophus Larson, Gus Thun-
stedt, Edwin E. Olson and Roy Chris
tian sang several songs about Home
and Mand" while the rest of the boys,
lying in and about the improvised
trench, amused themselves in various
ways.
Capt. Johnson and Ensign Nelson of
the Salvation Army then appeared on
the scene with large bag of dough
nuts and a beverage and treated the
boys. They were greeted with salts
faction by the boys. The singing vet
Grams mentioned before and who rem
dered all the vocal music during the
program with much credit to them
selves, sang "Salvation Lassie of
Nine" After this scene the band rem
dered "America."
Henry G. Young, commander of the
local post of the Legion, then gave a
curtain talk relative to the American
Legion and its aims as an organization.
Mr.. Young stated that he Legion has
been charged, and unjustly so, as be-
ing organized for various selfish and
political purposes while on the con-
trary those who are familiar with the
cause know that the Legion was
founded to band the veterans of the
World war together for the promotion
of loyalty, patriotism and development
of the American community. The talk
was we'll received by the audience
A feature Of the program which Gre
ated much favorable comment was the
series of tableaus very effectively
staged. It consisted of poses of char
acter prominent during the war with
an appropriate song rendered by the
group of singing veterans. The posing
character stood perfectly still within
a framework with white background
and brightly lighted. The first pose
was that Of Belgian girl, posed very
we'll by Martina Berg The boys then
sang my Belgian Rose" The next
tableau was that of the French made
moiselle posed by Genevieve McKin-
ley while the boys sang "Wee Wee
Marie" Miss Inga Imsdahl, our coun-

In your editorial page. viii appreciate
the same. as this Is an article pertain
ing TO a worthy cause.
Who will care for them7
Few OF us have considered this i'm
portant question, still Il is imperative
not only that we consider it; but also
render some aid. The Associated
Charities" has had the sole burden OF
caring for all these unfortunates. who
need help because OF the present crisis.
Fathers. brothers, husbands and sis
ters being thrown out OF work, leave
these poor people I'm desperate state
They need help and succor. and so
far the Associated Charities" has
taken this importunate duty IN hand.
lt, indeed, seems unjust that this SO
ciety should do all this charitable
work, when others could, without
oouht. lend n hand. The treasury fund
Of the Associated Charities has fall
IN low; and. surely they cannot go on
with their merciful work II they have
no funds. I. as the writer Of this ar
ticle, merely act as one inspired TO aid
by so doing. Those Of you who can
render some aid, should COME forth
because II is a duty. not only TO these
unfortunate, but likewise TO God.

nEAuTY IN MUNICIPAL LIFE.

Several months ago Every Evening
published letter from a citizen, in
which 1T was pointed out that the
parking of automobiles
around Rodney Square was spelling
the beauty OF that place. Since then
numerous complaints. similar in tone,
have been received by this Office.
Even visitors from afar. who pass
through wilmington. have expressed
their amazement that this community
should permit it's main downtown
show point to be ruined.
II has been said that the matter
Of restricting parking around Rodney
Square VIII be considered by the MEM
bers Of the Street and Sewer Depart
mcnt at their next meeting. 1t is to
be sincerely hoped that an adequate
solution of this problem may be
reached Immediately. Either we
should plan TO have n city beauti-
ful." or else We should come out in
the open and admit that our desire
for efficiency is so strong that we have
no desire for beauty in our municipal
life.
