EXCELLENT RECORD
OF LOCAL ELEVEN


ball eleven of the Willmar high school
was brought to. a close with the Han
cock game on Armistice Day. Snow
covered fields and the cold weather
prevents any further engagements this
season. The schedule as originally
planned was carried out Four of the
six games played were played out Of
the city leaving but two home games,
those with Hancock and Glencoe. Tho
former game was played on snowy
and slippery field, thus handicapping
both elevens. zssss --&7zssE:.e-7F -
Willmar this year has made name
for herself in the football history OF
the district where it could rightfully
consider itself the champions. The
game with Monte which has been pro-
tested and ON the most just grounds
was really notable victory for Will
mar. We understand that Monte has
laid claim to the title of this district
in spite of the Willmar protest. This
protest was not only the protest OF
the Willmar high school officials but
of fans both in ,Willmar and other
cities who attended the game, No
one disputes the justice of the protest.
In view of the protest efhad ex-
pected that Monte would at least have
allowed the matter to drop and avoid
further unpleasantness for itself and
yet I'VE find that she has laid claims
to the title of this district. We would
term this as poor sportsmanship to
say the least and be generous with
them The following were the games
played during the 1921 season:

A PROMINENT FIGURE.
A Longshoreman of Client, Belgium, Be-
come Cabinet Minister.

| About fifty years ago, in the seven
+ ties, boy by the name of Edward
Anseele, the son of a poor shoemaker
of Client, Belgium, being very tired
Of working all day and every day IN a
| shop decided that he would break loose
and see the world. So he set out
tramping it, working in one place
long enough to earn his expenses to
the next town or city. In this way
he finally reached England, where he
worked on the docks of London and
Liverpool as longshoreman, helping
load ships.
Now, this boy tramp, whom most re-
spectacle people would have looked up-
on with contempt, had keener pair
Of eyes in his head than most of his
prosperous critics probably had, and
considerable gray matter behind them.
One day he saw a cooperative store,
one of the Rochdale institutions. In
stead of passing, and although he
had not penny in his pocket, he went
inside and asked questions. In few
hours he knew as much about cooper.
alton as would take year or more TO
filter into the brain of an ordinary
person.
A year or two later he returned to
his home town, Client, and worked in
the textile mills He joined the I'M
ion. And all the time he talked to
his fellows about Roehdale stores as he
had seen them in England Finally one
one Of the officials of the weayer's
union invited the youth TO give talk
on the subject TO the assembled mem
bers. He did, and when he got through
the members not only voted him a res
olution OF thanks, but they made an
appropriation of $500, which was
good deal of money TO them with
which to start a cooperative bakery,
Of which they asked Anseele to take
charge.
Anslee's bakery prospered, and then
the society which he organized took up
groceries, shoes, clothing, drugs and
everything else working class family
needs. To-day, even after passing
through the German occupation, it is
over thirty stores in the little
city, with one central department 7!
