WHEREAS, Our present primary
election law fails in practice to#have
this done, hut makes it possible to be
used by voters of other political be-

uses, contrary to- its real intent, and
purpose, and therefore not resulting
In true popular vote, ,' -

PUZZLE ANSWERS
Are COMING In.
Solvers Praise Contest as Educa-
tional Feature IN Which You
/ Win If You Lose

Answers to our "P-word" picture
puzzle are coming: in at lively rate
and the prospects are that it is going
TO be an interesting and exciting
game at the end
They are all working at it, it seems
the boys and the girls both old and
young, the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker, the "school-marm"
and the parson. But who is going to
win the prize? That: is what it will
be interesting to see. So don't be a
"piker" (even if it does begin with
'p). Get into the game.
There is, no game of chance about
this picture puzzle It is a test of
good eye and quick wits. And the beau
ty about it is that the fellow with a
lot of book learning doesn't stand much
more show than the fellow with only
practical education in the school of
hard knocks. The former may know
what '''probocis' means but don't know
what a potato planter looks like. So
there you are
at any rate, when they get thru
with the puzzle they will both have
increased their vocabulary and their
knowledge of things "p" From an
educational standpoint they will be
ahead. From financial standpoint
they are not losers even if they should
win no prize. They ought all have the
Willmar Tribune anyway. Incidental
ly. the Willmar Tribune ought to get
quite number OF new subscribers
this Way-also a very desirable re-
suit Of the game.
: There are some of the answers al
ready received of which we cannot
help but feel that it is toobadthat their
authors have not qualified for the big
ger prizes. There may be answers
coming in later that will win over
these but if they do they will have
to Ego some"

went on a tour Of exploration in
1869. In the same year, La Sale
sailed up the Ohio and landed
at several points in the present
state. There was little colonial
ton until 1882, when Scotch and
Irish adventures began to fill
Western Virginia. They were
encouraged but little, and, in
fact, the King in 1888 declared
that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not
rlghtfully be settled. Colonial
ton continued, however, and Bit
Ter warfare was waged against
the Indians and the French who

In l774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant
was fought, which was one. Of
the bloodiest Of Indian conflicts.

Their application for admission
