twinkled a few minutes more and
then went into total eclipse from

the visiting team was not in the
class with the Ely team and while
at times they showed some attri-
butes of ball players, as a nine in

were pulled off on both sides, the
feature of the game being the hit
registered on the "coco" of Umpire

FOOLED THEIR FRIENDS.

Harold Johnson of Pitt and Miss
Elizabeth Nichols of Ely, Mimi,
were married on July Sth. at CHS
holm by Rev. E. F. Stidd. These
young people are we'll and favor
ably known at Pitt and Hackett.
Miss Nichols taught the Wabanica
school last year and when Harold
announced that he was going to
spend the Fourth at the home of
Mrs. Nichols he assured your scribe
that he would not be married for
some time to come but when the
young people found that a wedding
was planned by the brides parents,
they took a motor ride and stole a
march on their friends. The mar
riage was supposed to be kept a
secret, but the news was too good
to keep, and Harold, when con-
fronted with the news from CHS
holm, admitted that he was now a
benedict. They will be at home to

CLEAN MILK Is BETTER THAN
q CLEANED MILK ~ <'>

Editor Tribune
Not all pasteurization, as practiced
commercially, is always effective. For
the cities which depend on pasteuriza-
stion to free it's milk of tuberculosis
germs, this fact is important.
When milk is heated to 40 degrees F.
for 20 minutes or to 1853 degrees F. for
one minute these bacteria are killed.
But: many technical difficulties make it
impossible to bel sure that all milk
passed through the apparatus is held at
a sufficient temperature for sufficient
length of time. At a number Of COM
mercial plants where samples Of milk
have been taken from the machines at
various points in the process the tenn
been found to vary between 81 degrees
and TIA degrees. Theoretically all of
that milk was supposed to be at a tenn
perature Of at least 40 degrees, but
not greatly exceeding that. Milk at 81
degrees is nothing but raw milk Milk
at ia. degrees is scorched milk, hard to
digest. Inefficient in vitamins, unpalat-
able and shows a poor cream line.
Pasteurization as a commercial pro-
cess does not always kill the germs;
and sometimes when it does, it de-
creases the food value of the milk. The
only sure and satisfactory way to get
the tuberculosis germs out of milk is
to stop them before they get in. Kill

MOVING THE MILK STOOL

The unspeakable Turk needs the raw
hide Of the world powers across the
seat Of hisspants.: Proof of this is un-
necessary, for the powers admit it. K:
s. The.brutal Turk is committing new
atrocity.. He is removing his seat out of
reach Of the cowhide, w.
Withdrawal from Constantinople to
Angora is a dirty trick. The powers
invest billions in warsboats. War boats
are strong arguments in international
conversation. p BY removing the seat of
government to the interior, Kemal
weakens the argument of the powers.

ample in the first place when he picked
up his seat at Petrograd and sneaked
back to Moscow, where he sits in i'm
pudent security. Moving of the milk
stool also interferes with outsiders talk
ing further part. in the milking except
by special invitation and under spe-

And yet this idea of doing your own

MAKE IT AN ANNUAL EVENT>
The successful rendition: Of +

The successful rendition: Of the
wonderful Handel's "The Messiah"
last night as community effort pre-
lim2inary to the Christmas holidays,
by the Willmar Choral Society, ap-
parently but sparingly appreciated
by our people at large, and the effort
made by other civic bodies to prop
:erly convey the Christmas. spirit in
a community way by the erection Of
a large tree lit with colored lights on
the postoffice square,, but with no
general attempt at public dedication
of the same, have led some. Of our
people to urge that by little CO.
ordination an opening festival of the
Christmas season at Willmar could
be made an annual event. Of great
significance to the city as a whole
and Of great edifcation of the citi-
zens of city and county.
This suggestion is that the fist
lighting of the tree be made public
occasion. to be followed by the rem
dition of 'The Messiah" at the aud
itorium. The date should probably be
set a little earlier than it was this
year. r..
With each succeeding rendition of
the great oratorio, an increasing
number: of voices for the wonderful
choruses will have been trained in
our various church choirs which con-
stitute the main body Of the Choral
Society and it may reasonably be ex-
pected that more finished and in
creasingly inspiring effects will be
possible to the director.
Let US hope that the Choral So
ciety will not lose heart from diff
culties which it may have encounter
ed but persevere and continue it's
good work.

Urges Change in Constitution

Editor Willmar Tribune:
1t appears to me that one of the most
unsatisfactory features Of our consti-
tutional laws is the long time that U. S.
Senators and Congressman, retain their
seats after election, and the still longer
time before men elected to succeed them
can enter upon their: duties. Elections
are held on the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der and according TO the constitution
Congress meets on the first Monday in
December and continues in session until
the, 4th day of March. thus giving the
retired members three months. to serve
after having been 2repudiated by a maj
.ority of their constituents, and this year
an<additional two weeks on account of
the so-cal1ed ''fWall1aStreet Special" call
ed by Pres. $FIardinsd sIfs the reactionary
members like Kellogg; z~Volsteads and
Others of their stripe, succeed in pass
ing the Ship Subsidy bill during this
special session or during the regular
session of three months following be-
fore the Progressive men elected in
their place take their seats in March,
they will have accomplished more harm
eafter their defeat in the: last election
than all the good they have accomplish
ed during their entire term Of service.
1--WE ought to have the law changed in
this respect so that men elected to the
u S.: Senate and Congress could get
down to work soon after election while
the issues ON which they were elected
are fresh in the minds of the people
who elected. them and also in their
minds. Too many forget their pre-el-
| ection pledges after election and the
long time elapsing before they enter
upon their duties maybe is at least part
lyttthe cause For ay-man to wait more
than a year to begin the work he has
been elected to do seems ridiculous. I'M
agine a bank or any other institution
electing an officer to replace one whose
services have been unsatisfactory and
then to have him wait a year before en-
tering upon his duties. Common sense
tells JUS that this is wrong SO let us all
unite in demanding change in the law
in regard to this matter.

A TENDENCY IN EDUCATION .

| AS Americans we pride ourselves ON
our social institutions, but we never
claim that any of them are perfect.
That is we'll, for If we did. the very in
! centive for further progress would be
removed. Altho granting that. wonder
full things have been accomplished in
the past, they rather serve as stepping
stones in future stages of development.
We have been taught how, to select. the
essential elements and these have be-
come the basis for further progress. If
we wish to succeed, there must be no
departure from the fundamentals. We
must always accept an underlying prin-
ciple as the foundation: for all construc-
tive work. y
In education, this is essentially true
and the nucleus in it's program is Gull
ture. That has been and always will be
the motive force and as long as we adj
here to- it we are building on perman-
ence. ~ 49,. ...
Our American system of education
has developed rapidly. Compared with
the European, it is in many respects,
vastly superior. We claim that, our
SYSTEM: is democratic, extensive = and
practical. The democratic feature is
necessary to substantiate our form of
government, for republic to be sound,
must have an intelligent citizenship.
Hence the schools in the United States
are open to all and practically free: The
second claim "extensive," simply means
that we aim to- make our education as
broad and symmetrical as possible. This,
too, is largely due to American ideals
| and social reuuisities.' Finally, we aim
to make our education practical We
insist on this because of economic de-
mands. and the keen competition that
social life. -: !
ton has been subjected to a great deal
of criticism lately, particularly by Eur
opeans who see in it selfishness and
materialism. American educators also
concede that there is some, truth in this
criticism. There is, in the opinion Of
| the writer at least, a great danger of
sacrificing culture in our efforts to be-
| come practical. One cannot help but
notice this tendency even in our, high
| schools In selecting subjects the aues-
ton invariably arises: Does it pay and
will it give. me an economic advantage
in the field of competition ~ The :cultur-
al value is oftentimes entirely over
looked. Such tendencies may lead to
an over emphasis Of practical ideas and
| may In time retard our progress.
Also it may be pointed out that such
| Tendencies must lead to a policy of is
olation. Culture is common heritage
| and must be, kept alive by the nations
Real cooperation can best be secured
thru education as a medium but it must
| retain it's high standards so that the
| truest and noblest in man, may be de-
veloped.-Hr,L w +''>~ = -

PARTY ALIGNMENT

The question of the probable
alignment Of the progressive forces
during the next two years is being
discussed at length in liberal news
papers. To establish a third national
party has been the aim of reformers
for forty years. Let US not be in a
hurry in this matter. Old party names
have ceased to have their old time
significance. The stand-pat rings of
the North control the Republican
Congresses, and the stand-pat rings
OF the South control the Democratic
congresses The West and Central
States are more independent, throw
ing their influence to either side as
their interests seem to dictate. This
is5 q strong position if logically fol-
lowed up. The West has been urged
TO- keep their stand-patters in Con-
.gTess in order to hold chairmanships
and secure their share of the .tloayes
and fishes But they are being swift

ssive bloc will soon be in position to

the progressives will compel Z the
standpatters of North@and South to

then the decks will be cleared for a
truly national progressive party. Our
economic enemies have PLAYED the
bipartisan game to secure the con-
troll they have. Let the progressives
meet them on their own ground. BY
capturing local. and state organiza-
lions heretofore controlled by the
stAnd-patters, often by default Of
the progressives, las for instance in
Kandiyoh county, the opposition will
have the disad Vantage of position,
and they themselves will do more
