Everything Photographic Done Right Willmar, Minn. 307 Benson Ave. SOLDIER MINSTRELS HAD GOOD TIME AT WILLMAR Last Monday evening the boys of the Uncle Sammy's Minstrel Company, the Red Cross Canteen Workers and the soldier boy ushers were treated by Mayor E. C. Wellin to a banquet dinner given at the Masonic Temple. After the banquet a social time was enjoyed till the show by the Minstrels opened at the Willmar Opera House at 8:15. There they were greeted hy a full house, every seat having been sold out. After the entertainment, the Minstrels were entertained by the Canteen committee at the B. P. O. E. rooms to a pleasant social time and served delicious refreshments at a late hour. Thus the hours passed happily for the boys till it was time ~-_«fiy them to take the early train for Morris where they were booked for an entertainment for Tuesday even ing. That the visitors appreciated their reception is proven by the fol lowing resolution adopted: "We, the boys of Uncle Sammy's Minstrels, rthu the kindness of the Tri bune wish to thank Mayor Wellin, the Red Cross Canteen Ladies and the mem bers of the B. P. O. E. Lodge for the splendid way in which we boys were so royally entertained while in your Glty. The banquet 'At the: Masonic Temple was great! The dinner was home cooked which appealed to us boys, and believe us, when we say a home cooked meal means much to us in a strange town, and we know how to ap preciate it too. "The B. P. O. E. Lodge members have our thanks for the generous hospitality and the fine lunch served by them through the Canteen Ladies after the eveni&g's performance at the Elk's Par lors. Mayor Wellin certainly went over the top in making us feel at home in Willmar (Signed) Uncle Sammy's Minstrels." Receives $3,500 Insurance. And. J.

Hours: If All who attended the Tractor School, which closed Wednesday, March 12th, after a two days session at O. W. Kroona's Implement house, were well satisfied In every respect. All that we were able to talk to said that they were so well pleased that should a school be held within reasonable dis tance another year, they wilf be sure to attend. A no more timely subject than the operation of tractors could possibly have been studied in this community. It is timely both from the standpoint that there are many new tractor owners and also from the absolute necessity jQjkkeeping all the tractors working thlPlollowing season. We know that it takes power and plen ty of it to produce the most crops and to get the farm work done on time. If the tractors are laid up for repairs, onrome little adjustments, it is valu able time lost. The object of the trac tor schools is to give tractor owners and others enterested in power farm ing some first aid work for the trac tor. A very fortunate feature was its practicability. The instructor Edw. J. Hennings assisted by Nick Jones, well known engine expert and the un ceasing efforts of A. J. Webster cer tainly knew their subjects and knew how to bring out the points in a clear, understandable fashion. H. J. Hal vorson also offered valuable assistance about the apparent mysteries of an internal combustion engine. They started in at the beginning and went through the principles of operation of an internal combustion engine, and step by step took up the various sys tems into which the mechanism of a tractor could be divided. If there has been any apprehension in this com munity about the use of low grade fuels in tractors, we are glad to say that this school has cleared up this important phase of tractor farming. We are now satisfied that if a tractor is built right it will operate success fully on kerosene and other low grade fuels. It certainly seems greatly to the farmer's advantage to have a tractor that will produce power on low priced kerosene, coal oil, or distillate. Through the courtesy of the Handy Lewis Motor company the instructors were able to talk on International Motor trucks the machine that will eventually follow the tractor. We assure the I. H. C. that if a tractor school is held next year the attend ance although being close to the hun-v dred mark will be much larger, be cause we hear nothing but words of praise from all who were fortunate enough to attend the school.* Books Pictures at Minneapolis.

In the battle where Elmond was wounded, which occurred in a village, there were 2,000 Germans killed. Among the American artillery forces who were supporting the French there were only six wounded. The wound ed boys were taken to three different hospitals before room was found for them and had to ride forty miles in the ambulance. He was at the hospi tal two months.
