The Willmar high school started its foot ball season this year by taking Litchfield into camp last Saturday, the score being 20 to 0. The day was ideal and a large crowd was present and helped greatly in giving the mighty warriors encouragement. Personal and Otherwise Willmar plowed thru the line and around end making yards every time. The first touchdown came in the first half when Erickson carried the ball around end for the score. The other two came in the last half when Larsen went thru center for 6 points and then Tay lor bucked the line for another touch down. Every man on the Willmar team worked hard, while Palm and Lagergren were"the shining lights fdrO«cSif6fd?^ Litchfield did a great amount of kick ing and "beefing" on«ome of the decis ions, which showed that they had only a hazy notion of this year's rules. Capt. Larsen played a good game. He ran the team well, made several long runs and kicked the ball hard. Taylor! was right there on line plunging and when ever a few yards were needed Taylor was given the ball. He was in almost every play when Willmar was on the defense. Erickson played his po sition as half well and was good at picking holes thru the line. Yarrow car ried the ball like a veteran and was also good on the defense. Styles at .end didn't lot a play get by him and caught the: only successful forward pass of the game. Feig played his usual good game and also carried the ball for many extra yards. Carlson played guard the first half and showed himself able to take care of himself as well as his man. Rus sel Johnson replaced him in the second half and did equally as well. Geer showed that he could play center, never making a poor pass In the entire game. On the defense he was into everything. Danielson showed that he was made of the right kind of stuff and as soon as he learns the game little better, he will make a star guard. Boyd played a swell game at tackle, handling every thing that came his way and carrying the ball for good gains. Aim at end played as if he had piayed football all his life.

SPECIAL DISCOUNT on Confirmation Outfits at OHL PU\GLCA.OTH\£RS DOVT BUXV TOUB STBAW I Prof. XosTelly Kates a Strong- State ment Begardlng the Straw That Goes Up In Smoke. On returning after dark from a trip into the country last week the writer counted eighteen burning straw piles. The weather had been good and threshing was on full blast. Evidently the farmers were so happy over the big crops that they said to one another as they applied the match, "Hur rah boys! let us celebrate! We'll build a ban-fire of the products of our soil and warm up all out-doors. What do we care for next year's crop?" What does it mean co burn the straw? It means for the average. 50 acres of wheat straw that 500 lbs. of nitrogen, 375 lbs. of phosphoric acid and 1,400 lbs. of potash goes up in smoke. Nitro gen as a fertilizer costs 25 cents per pound, phosphoric acid and potash each cost 6 cents per pound. This makes the actual fertilizing value of the straw that went up In smoke on the 50 acre field $231.50. In addition to this there was lost the value of the humus which was probably equal to the fertilizer value. In Wisconsin the man who burns his straw is called a 'soil robber" and we believe the name fits in Kandiyohi coun ty. The man who burns his straw does not deserve the name of farmer for even tho he does not need the soil fertility himself he should remember that suc ceeding generations for hundreds of years must needs make a living from the same piece of land He is robbing them. One man holds a deed for but 40 or 50 years out of a million. He has no moral right to leave the land poorer than he found It. Suppose grain Is raised exclusively on a 160 acre farm. If the grain is sold and the straw burned there would be a loss according to Prof. Henry Snyder of 28,500 pounds of nitrogen, 3,000 pounds of phosphoric acid and 5,500 pounds of potash. These are the necessary plant food elements and they are limited in the soil. It would be but a short time before the crop yield would fall off. If you check on your bank account without making deposits you are bound to over draw. Suppose on the other hand that the same 160 acre farm was used as a live stock farm—the crops diversified and rotated, clover grown and a little bran and oil meal purchased and fed on the farm. The land would then increase in fertility. ^The live stock would pay as much for the grain as the elevator and there would be more of it. The farmer would receive a double profit one the eggs, butter, wool and meat products as well as on the grain and we would no longer hear the plaintive cry, "the land is not as productive as it usedJto..be.'i. We ask farmers tc think this over and remember that it does not- pay to burn the straw. It is not done on managedp^farnis where land is wo?^ |10fr annexe. ','., i* C. L. MCNELLY. Pour Farms- Jtecently Sold. Lewis Johnson, the land man, has re cently disposed of four farms in the vicinity of Willmar. The Nels J.

Albert Bulman, a stranger who claims Michigan as his home state, came to Aug. "Blakely's place, about two miles west of Paynesville last Sunday, osten sibly looking for work. The Blakely family drove to Paynesville for a visit with relatives in the afternoon and the stranger accompanied them to town, the suggestion having been made that he might get work with a threshing rig. The stranger however, made his way back to the Blakely home, and was still there when the family returned. The suspicions of the Blakelys was aroused, but the stranger proceeded to make himself useful assisting with work. It was discovered that a box containing $1,000 in certificates of deposit was missing, but it was later found out side broken open and empty. The strang er was accused of the theft, but denied his guilt. Deputy Sheriff Chisholm was called and took the man to Paynesville, where he was examined and searched. He still protested his innocence. No certificates were found, but a check for $80 in favor of one Kimball, with Aug. Blakely's name forged at bottom, was found on Bulman's person. The latter claimed that he had received the check from a companion. Sheriff Bonde was summoned and went out the same night and brot the man to Willmar. The Sher iff had his prisoner "register" and com pared the handwriting with the forged check and found it similar. It was also found to be identical with that used In a letter which Aug. Blakely had re ceived in which the writer threatened to burn his farm buildings unless $300 was left in a suit case in a certain place indicated in the letter. The pris oner did not withstand the questioning very long1 before he weakened and con fessed the crime. The grand jury indicted Bulman on the charge of grand larceny in the sec ond degree. He was arraigned yester day, and Atty. Chas. Johnson was ap pointed to defend him. After an hour's conference with his attorney he con cluded to plead guilty to the indict ment and was sentenced to the St. Cloud reformatory. The certificates of deposit were not re covered, the prisoner claiming that they had been burned. Sanderson-Bodberg. The J. S.
