PLAY frs GAM
AGAIN|s'1 ! / GLElgN00D j! \
High School Eleven. to Journey to
Glenwood on Saturday for
.r First Test

The High School =. football eleven
will meet it's first gridirop opponent
next Saturday afternoon when. Glen
wood will be played on their: own
grounds. This game will be an ex-
cellent preparatory contest to- the
game with. st. Cloud scheduled for
October 7th at st. Cloud. ~,
The boys are being given their last
grooming this week by Coach McClaf-
lin. They ought to be fit and ready for
the fray on Saturday.
Montevideo doesn't like Willmar
this year, not since the wrangle which
occurred on October %, 1921. She sta
tes her schedule is complete but un-
der the surface Of this argument lies
the truth that she#not only fears Will
mar this year but would rather avoid
us due TO the injustice perpetrated
against the w. H. S. last fall.>
The following games have thus far
been scheduled: J.:
Glenwood at Glenwood, Sept. 80.
st. Cloud (there) October 7th.
Hancock (there) October 18th.
Madison (here) October 21st.
Litchfield (here)% November 4th.
Hutchinson atS:Willmar, Nov. II. 90
The team this sszzyear is somewhat
lighter, than it has been in several
years, but the spirit is the best that
we have ever had. Three full teams
turn out for practice every night and
we feel certain that the boys will give
good account of: themselves.

AT MASONIC TEMPLE
New Canopy Over Entrance to
Masonic Temple Adds Improve
ment to Looks of Building

A new canopy has recently been in
stalled at the Masonic Temple extend
ing out over the sidewalk in order to
protect the entrance. This adds very
much to the appearance of the build
ing. The canopy was purchased from
the Minneapolis Ornamental Iron Com
pany of Minneapolis. The company
sent two men to Willmar to put the
large canopy in place.
The canopy is about seven by nine
feet, made of cast iron and supported
by iron chains fastened in the build
ing. A large light will be placed in the
center of this. The new canopy cost
between seven and eight hundred dol
lars. -
The Masonic Lodge will also install
a large emblem in the space about
three by FIVE feet which is left vacant
at the present time. This will cost over
one hundred, dollars. " i. ..;. 4 r * 81.

cordance with the desire then enter
tanned by plaintiffs and for the pur-
pose Of partially repaying the defal-
cations of the said Oscar Orred and
SAID conveyance was executed and

sentations, coercion, threats of pros
ecution or thru the; practice of any
unfair means or dealings whatsoever
on the part of any Of said defendants
or any other person and neither OF
said plaintiffs was in said transaction
made the victim Of coercion, threats
or undue influence on the part of any
one and no threat, undue influence,
fraud or coercion was indulged in by
any of said defendants or any other
person but said conveyance was the
free and voluntary act of plaintiffs,
and each of them, and was executed
by them with full knowledge of all
the circumstances and conditions sur
rounding the dealings of said Oscar
Orred with, and his defalcations from,
! said bank and in the absence of any
undue or improper influence exercis-
ed by any one.
That the defendants in acquiring
title from the plaintiff were not guilty
of fraud, deceit, oppression or duress
| on or toward plaintiff but on the con-
| trary all the parties acted understand
ingly and in the utmost good faith in
matters pertaining to said transfer.

STOLEN CAR IS
FOUND A WRECK
Car Bandits Have Collision Near
Maynard and Abandon
Car

Through the efforts of Sheriff Mel
son of Clara City and Sheriff Bonde of
Willmar, the Ford coupe belonging to
liver Nelson of 'Willmar which was
stolen last Wednesday afternoon, was
recovered. Sheriff Nelson had re.
ceived word from the Willmar author
tiles to be on the lookout for the car
and as soon as he saw the wrecked
car he telephoned to Sheriff Bonde.
Sheriff Bonde, Sigmund, Andrew and
Iver Nelson then drove to Maynard
to bring the car back Friday evening.
The accident happened l mile on this
side of Maynard Wednesday evening.
1t seems that a man in Ford car
was attempting to pass another car,
going east and the stolen car which
was going west against the sun ran
into them. The coupe was badly smash
ed, all wheels were broken and the
top nearly destroyed
That the work is not that of ANA
teurs: is very evident. The thieves
had a key that correspondent to the
O1A6Au0l duu IL IOuIu OpcA IL OlA
63 to 68. This key was found in the
lock Of the wrecked car. The bandits
took off the curtains that were on the
inside Of the car and exchanged them
for some Of their own of a different
color. They also put on a new seat
cover to avoid detection. They did
not have time to take the license
plates off properly so they just jerked
them from their place and inserted
some South Dakota ones.
After the accident the bandits told
a hard luck story and were taken by
a farmer to doctor at Granite Falls
where their bruises were dressed. It
is reported that the men stole an
other Ford coupe while at Granite
Falls.

FIRE TRUCK CALLED OUT
THIRD TIME IN ONE WEEK
Large Crowd Turn. Out to See
Blaze a. Shed Burns on North
Side of Track

The fire whistle sounded again
at ten minutes after eight on Tuesday
evening for the third time in one week.
The firemen hurried to the fire house
and in a few minutes the truck was
on it's way. About ten or twelve men
were on the truck when it left. 9th
ers hurried to the blaze in their own
cars. There were about. rs men alto
gether. I< :'
The fire occurred at the residence
of Mrs. C. Bonde which was rented by
the N. J. sletten family. One OF the
boys noticed bright light in the back
yard and looked out to see the shed
burning. His sister, Miss Nora Slet-
ten, turned in the fire alarm. The truck
arrived in few minutes and the hose
was strung from the e,hydrant on Ella
avenue and 1th st. About six hund-
red feet of hose were needed to reach
the shed. ,sGEy
The shed was burned to the ground.
The loss is placed at; between two and
three hundred dollars including the
StOl4A "AuuOWS duO OluEE. tNlu&6 LudL
were stored in the building. Mr.. Slet-
ten succeeded in getting the heating
stove out of the building so that was
saved. About fifty chickens were hou-
sed right next to the shed and it is be-
lieved that some Of them were slight
ly scorched.> The wind, al on the day
Of the large fire at the fair grounds,
was coming from the right direction
or otherwise buildings might have
been burnt, the, house being only alb
out 20 feet away from the shed. Water
was poured on the house to prevent it
from catching on~dre.
The blaze attracted large crowd
Of people who came on foot and In
cars. AS usual cars were 4 great hin:
drance to the firemen as they got too
near the burning building and 1t was
with difficulty that the hose was
strung. The engine Was not used as
tthe water main furnished enough;
pressure. The origin of the fire is not
known.

fortunate in escaping serious injuries
last Tuesday afternoon. He caught
ON to car without the driver know

T00BSERVE " FIRE
PREVENTION / & DAY
Schools Of City to Have Drills.
Citizens Urged to Remove Rub
bish and Clean Premises


served in the City of Willmar by spe-
cial exercises and drills in the schools
of the city and appeals made to the
citizens of the community to look af-
ter fire hazards and to clean up their
premises in such manner as will
prevent every possibility of fire.
Supt. Geo. Brohaugh of the city
schools in his outline or program for
the coming term has set aside Octo-
Der 9th fas the Fire Prevention Day"
for the city schools. On this day,
which happens to be Monday, special
exercises and programs will be given
in the schools. Fire drills will be
executed and the pupils taught how
to leave the building in an orderly and
rapid manner.
Official "Fire Prevention Week" is
october 2 to 9.
The citizens of Willmar are urged
to clean up their premises, remove
rubbish, correct all hazards, enlisting
the aid of the fire department and to
try and cultivate carefulness about
the house. The idea of fire prevention.
should be born in mind and every care
taken to remove fire causes.
Fire Prevention Day is national
nay and is being observed thruout the
nation. It should be taken insearnest
and citizens should see the value of
the advice to be taken to heart on
that day.
- If any proof of the need of ohserv-
ing Fire Prevention Week is required,
it resides in the most recent estimate
by the Actuarial Bureau of last years
contribution to the national ash heap
|-$485, 100000. Only once in the 1856
years of this republic has this stupen-
dous figure been exceeded, and that
was in 1906, the year Of the San Fran
cisco confagration. The present burn
ing rate of 1923 a minute constitutes
one of the heaviest drags on our &C.
onomic progress If it is allowed, to
continue at that appalling pace the
country WILL as time goes on, find it.
self seriously handicapped in compel
ing with the nations of the world.
JUST ONE MINUTE.
You can read this in one minute.
BY the time you reach the last line,
property worth 1923 will have been de-
stroyed by fire somewhere in the Uni
ted States.
Minute after minute, day after day,
on the average, this appalling pace
keeps up, to a grand yearly total of
$4S5, 1000, 900.
That, at least, was the record in
1921. What the showing will be this
year, and in the years to come de-
pends, in large measure, on YOU.
Ninety per cent of all fires are pre-
ventable for they are due to careless
ness.
Take a look in your cellar, your at
tic, that closet. Clear out the rubbish
the old stuff stored away because
'maybe some day We'll find use for
it," Many fires about the house are
born in trash piles.
While insurance marks the differ
ence between protection and destitu-
tion, every American home has its
treasured possessions whose worth
cannot be computed in terms of money
and can never be replaced.
A minutes thot now may save the
patient accumulation Of a lifetime from
the ravages of fire.
After all, it's chiefly a matter OF pro-
tecting your own dwelling and those
whose presence there makes it HOME.
Isn't it worth minute to you?,s
