Business
Women
are those who know and take advantage
of the facilities offered by banks to its
customers.
Women place their money in the bank,
draw checks and handle their accounts
in a manner that contradicts the idea that
they are not familiar with the best busi
ness methods.
We are glad to receive such business and
we would like to explain to you some of
its advantages.

WILLMAR. MINNESOTA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. 1912.
THE BIG COUNTY FAIR IS ON.
The Kandiyohi County Fair of 1912 begins today. With any kind of
favorable weather there will be a large attendance. The fair will go right
on rain or shine, however, and there will be no disappointments.
We hope that there will not be a single farmer in Kandiyohi county or
adjoining commnuities who will not come in for at least one day and evening.
It will be a day of pleasure and profit for every member of the family.
Remember that this is the big annual show of farm products, and every
farmer should be interested to see what the county is doing in way of im
proved products. The horse, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry exhibits prom
ise to be quite extensive, and there will be no less than 63 head of purebred
stock sold at auction.
There are plenty of amusements. Remember that "ail work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy." We all need a little relaxation once in a while, and
don't deny your family at least one day and evening at the fair. The*
grounds cover twelve acres and there is plenty of room for all.
The fair this year is on a broader scale than the former street fair, and
most of the departments are in charge of representative farmers. We be
lieve this new departure should help create a deeper and stronger interest
in this annual event and that every farmer should feel it his duty to not
only bring in the best of his products to show, but all the folks for a good
social time, sight-seeing and a little fun.
A hearty welcome to everybody at the Kandiyohi County Fair.
MAN-TRAPS IN RAILROAD YARDS.
The peculiar conditions contributing to the accident which befell Harry
Otos led the editor to make a personal inspection of portions of the extensive
railroad yards at Willmar and we came to the conclusion that said yards, in
the condition they now are in, are simply man-traps where little if any atten
tion is paid to the risks taken by men who work there. Very few of the
spaces between rails are filled with plank to keep feet from getting caught,
and rocks and rubbish of all kinds as swept from cars are permitted to ac
cumulate between the tracks, over which men may stumble, especially in the
dark, as they must run along in the switching of cars.
These observations are not written from any feeling of hostility towards
the railroad, nor are they inspired by anyone in the employ of the company,
for none such have said a word to us about it. But our own observations
have led us to call public attention to the matter, which we believe of such
vital importance to the lives and welfare of many of our citizens.
We do not believe that such conditions as exist in the Willmar yards
would be tolerated for a minute in the large terminal yards in the cities. Wt
believe that men working in an occupation that at the best is most hazardous
should be given the best possible conditions to work under, and that no ex
pense which would contribute to their safety would be misspent. Conditions
in the Willmar yards are bad, and if you don't believe us, go and look for
yourself.

CIVIC COMMEMORATION
City
of Hutchinson Plans Festival
and Home Coming Day,
Oct. I.
The editor has received an invita
tion to attend the 50th Anniversary
Commemoration of the Sioux Indian
Massacre and Defense of Hutchin
son, Minnesota, of 1862, which will
take place on September 30 and Oc
tober 1, 1912, at that city.
This event will be in the nature of
an Old Settlers' Home Coming and
Pioneers' Reunion and every former
resident of this vicinity will be made
welcome.
The program of the celebration,
which is being prepared will include
a reeeptioa to the Stockaders and
Defenders of Hutchinson, a reunion
of Old Settlers and Pioneers, and en
tertainment for all visitors. Among
the events will be the corner-stone
laying of the new school building 50
years after the burning of Hutchin
son's first school house by the In
dians, a grand historic and civic
street parade, and appropriate exer
cises, addresses and entertainment.
Norway Lake, Sept. 16—Shock
threshing in this vicinity was finished
the first part of last week. Oats
and barky yields more to the acre
than was expected, but wheat and
flax does not come up to expecta
tions.
Miss Anna Syverson, who was
chosen as a delegate from the East
Norway Lake Young People's So
ciety to attend a meeting at Canton,
S. D., is home again. Miss Syverson
says she enjoyed the trip very much.
Among those who went to the
State Fair in this neighboi'hood were
the Messrs. Worthy Nelson and Joe.
Me Kelvey and Mrs. M. Walby.
Ben Halvorson with five men and
one lady (the lady to act as cook)
departed for Clay County last Mon
day to harvest the flax on the for
mer's farm. It is Ben's intention
to hitch two 8-foot binders behind
the "Tractor" and two disc harrows
behind the binders. To operate the
Tractor and the binders, three men
were needed, and two men were to do
the shocking.
Gunder Swenson's dwelling is
nearing its completion.
The walls on the schoolhouse in
Dist. No. 104 are now ready and the
carpenters will begin to put in the
doors and windows this week.
Mark Peterson is at present build
ing a barn for Aug. Dengerud.
The Misses Anna Swenson and
Ottine Stai departed for St. Paul
again last week.
The East Norway Lake Synod
church has undergone a very costly
repairing this summer. The writer
has been told that the contractors
were to have $2,450 for the job.
It was predicted last spring that
the grasstboppers would do great
damage to the crops in this county
this season, but we have noticed vei'y
few hoppers this summer, and the
damage they have done does not
amount to anything.
In spite of all the Agricultural
press to the contrary, farmers a
round here keep up the old habit
of burning their straw-piles as soon
as the machine has left.
You, Knute, you "Vosse Knute",
you have been an unfaithful servant
and we sincerely hope your days as
a U. S. Senator are now for ever
and ever over.
Mr. and Mrs. Sandgren and two
sons, Harry and Roy of Litchfield,

Lake Elizabeth, Sept. 16, 1912—tiful
Miss Elfa Forsberg of Farewell,
Minn., has been visiting at the Dan
ielson home for several weeks.
Dr. Hitch, the Svea telephone doc
tor and Verne Fahlstrom repaired the
telephone lines thru here last week.
They also put cross arms on the poles
from Bjur's corner to the village, a
distance of half a mile. The lines
that wei crossed have been straight
ened so we are again able to call the
Atwater central.
Mis. Andrew Norine of Kandiyohi
assisted with the cooking at the Au
gust Norine home last week during
threshing.
F. A. Nelson had the misfortune of
breaking his auto while on his way to
the creamery last Saturday morning.
The rear axle broke and he was
obliged to have the car dispatched
home by team.
School opened in District 79 last
Monday with Miss Victoria Peterson
as teacher.
Florence and Lillie Boom, who are
attending school in Willmar, spent
Sunday at their home here.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin An
derson, gave a very pretty birthday
party to a few of her friends last
Friday afternoon, lee cream and
lunch was served to the guests, who
had a most enjoyable time.
Louis Engberg, one of our retired
farmers and now a resident of At
water, was out here in the country
for a few days last week enjoying the
freshness of country air.
Mrs. Martin Anderson was at Will
mar last week taking medical
treatments.
Art. and Victor Anderson, mechan
ical experts from Atwater, were in
this neighborhood last week setting
up corn binders. The trip was made
in Andrew Anderson's automobile
wagon. When we hear the noise
four miles away we always know
what is coming.
Frank Mattson had a close call
from what may have resulted in a
serious accident one day last week.
While on his way to Atwater he met
an automobile. His horses became
frightened and ran into a ditch,
throwing the occupants out. Luckily
no one was hurt.
Carl Uner/s horse and buggy got
tangled up with the tank team of the
Pahlun and Lake Elizabeth Thresh
ing outfit last Thursday. The tank
team ran away and Carl tried to
stop them when they took a sudden
turn and ran into the rear of Carl's
buggy, smashing every spoke in both
hind wheels.
Fire destroyed the barn and one
large setting of oats for John W.
Peterson, owner of the Lake View
farm, located on the west shore of
Lake Elizabeth, last Saturday eve
ning about 10:30 o'clock. One horse
was burned to death and another
very seriously injured. The barn
was filled with hay at the time it
burned. The origin of the fire is un
known, but it seems as tho some per
son must have touched a match. The
wind was from the northeast and the
setting of oats was southeast from
the barn. There was two settings
of wheat between the barn and set
ting of oats that did not burn. It
seems impossible that a spark could
fly from the barn to the setting or
from the setting to the barn. We
have not learned how much Mr. Pet
erson's loss is or how much insur
ance he earned.
Mrs. Erick Eastlund and child,
who have been visiting with Mrs.
Eastlund's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
