AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr.. and Mrs. Nels christensen and
son Gordon met with an. auto acct
dent Wednesday evening about 10
o'clock that might have proved more
serious to them than it did, but as
it is they have a wrecked car and
received severe shaking up.
AS we understand it the Christen-
son family were driving on the pave
ment just east Of town when they met
the G. F. Hallman's of Diamond Lake.
Both turned out, nearing the edge of
the pavement, leaving a good space
between them. When about opposite
each other in dashed car between
them, going at a high rate OF speed.
This car was driven by N. H. Nelson
of Willmar and a trailer was hitched
to his rig which was hurled against the
Christensen car with such force it il
miracle that the: occupants escaped
without serious injuries. The trailer
was smashed up and thrown several
feet, as we understand; it. The body
of the Christensen car is badly dam.

bowed their heads than of the, early
devout worship of our county pio-

overlook what we have at home. ::
To know, the. history. of the great

Federal Inspector OF Postof1ce Build

Treasury Departme nt, made his .annu-
al inspection Of the Willmar Postof-
flee building and grounds on Saturday.
He, arrived on the noon train and find
ing everything in excellent condition
took passage on. the. bus to. Minneap-
oils. 81. 5:. Is .s e :s, ..saszs:. :SS:,
When about to enter the building
Jack Carney, the postoftice janitor and
caretaker. Of the grounds offered to act
as his guide thru the building. Mr.
Rider declared that he had noticed
how brightly the brass plates. on the
outer doors. ,shone and therefore judi
sged that an inspection was hardly ne
cessary. Mr.. Rider. however made a
:thoro inspection Of the building and
also the condition Of the grounds alb
out the place. s.~.:
= Upon the conclusion of his scrutiny
he stated that the Willmar Postofice
showed more orderliness and cleanli-
mess than any Of the. 2S6 postoffices
on his route. Within his memoranda
booklet were found pages Of damag
ing. evidence against the tidiness and
appearance of many postoffices in the
state. ,..
His praise of the work done by the
employees of the postofhce and Mr..
A. O. Forsberg in keeping the insti-
tuition neat and presentable is indeed
an. encouragement. %: "
The thoro inspection to which the
postoffice was subjected finally brot
to light one thing which would seem
to be trifing matter and absurd to
| even cali attention to. An advertis-
ing thermometer with the name of the
advertiser printed at the :. top was
found hanging On. the wall. In order
to maintain the local postoffice along
line of 1000 compliance with post
office regulations, the name had to be
I covered with white square of paper.
| Apparently Uncle Sam does not want
any advertising in his postoffices and
every little evidence of such is barred.
