ALUMNI BANQUET ON MONDAY
Tenth Class Confirmed at Willmar
by Rev. Andersen. Pastor Makes
Three Addresses Sunday Morning.
Confirmation Alumni Has Enjoy
able Evening, Elects Officers,
Hears Letters From Absent Mem
bers, A Program of Class Prophe
cies and Other Pleasing Numbers.
Confirmation of the annual class of
young people at the Lutheran Synod
church drew a record attendance last
Sunday morning. The splendid edi
fice nicely decorated for the occa
sion was packed, every available
space in the church being filled with
extra chairs to accommodate those
attending.
Out of a class of 28 whom had be
gun receiving instruction, 16 were
confirmed at this time. They were
the following, eight boys and eight
girls:
Elmer Arthur Hagen

Arnold Samuel Nelson
Philip August Otos
Hazel Miranda Nelson
Lottie Elnora Lee

Norma Helmina Hanson
Anna Heborg Alvig
Valborg Constance Engelstad.
The impressive exercises began
with a march to the tones of which
the class came from the church par
lor, girls first and boys second, and
took their places about the altar. Af
ter the opening prayer the pastor,
Rev. J. N. Andersen addressed the
confirmants in Norwegian, using as
his text, Ps. 126: 3—"The Lord hath
done great things for us whereof we
are glad." This was applied to the
confirmants, to the parents and to the
church as a whole. The cathechisa
tion followed and required about fif
ty minutes.
The congregation then arose and
sang a Norwegian hymn, after which
followed the act of confirmation. Af
ter another hymn the pastor made
an address in the English, based on
Matt. 28:20—"And lo, I am with you
alway." A hymn in English followed,
and an anthem was sung by a quar
tette composed of Misses Evelyn
Grindeland and Sophia M. Tallakson
and Messrs. Arthur Bruss and Erick
Glad.
Then the pastor made an address
to the parents and grown-ups on the
words in John 21:15—"Feed My
Lambs." The services closed in the
usual manner, and the offering taken
amounted to $105.89.
The Confirmation Alumni.
The ninth annual banquet and
meeting of the Confirmation Alumni
of the Synod church convened at the

dition served as waitresses. The

coffee and cake, and candy.

Locals Play at Saintly City Last
Saturday and Lose One
sided Game.
The local high school football team
played the St. Cloud high- team at the
latter place last Saturday afternoon.
The final score was 53-0, with Will
mar on the nothing end of it. In the
first place several reasons caused the
locals downfall. They didn't know
the game was to be played until
some time around midnight Friday.
Then it was necessary to get an auto
and round up several of the team
who were out hunting.
When it came time for the train
to leave at six o'clock Saturday morn
ing but nine men had put in an ap
pearance. One was picked up out at
the junction after the train had
started while two others, Roy Carl
son and Tim Norling were sent out
by freight on the local at 7 olclock.
The latter two had overslept and
nearly succeeded in spilling the
beans by doing so.
As if the absence of Hallie Styles
and Fred Danielson was not enough
handicap for the team, Walter Erick
son thought he needed a rest in or
der to get in shape for the big game
with the Alumni on Thanksgiving
Day, so he very obligingly fell down
the gymnasium stairs and twisted his
ankle, so he was out of it for the day.
That made it necessary to put San
ford Osmundson at fullback and as he
didn't know the signals he failed to
distinguish himself- very much. The
weather was wet and so was the ball
so open football was out of the ques
tion.
The St. Cloud bunch used the "Min
nesota shift" with deadly effect and
seldom did they fail to gain the re
quired distance. Their forward pas
ses, however, failed to work, as the
man receiving invariably fumbled the
ball. It was no disgrace for the boys
to get beaten so bad as the winners
have not been scored on this season
and have won all their games by big
scores.
Windom Institute of Montevideo
plays here Saturday and the locals
will try and get revenge for the 18-6
defeat handed them some time ago.
KERKHOVENRESIDENT
KILLED UNDER TRAIN
Slips WhileTrying to Save Time
By Crawling Thru a Moving
Freight at Kerkhoven.
A sad accident happened last Sat
urday evening when Frank L. John
son, a well-known young man of
Kerkhoven was killed by a freight
train. About 8 'clock Mr. Johnson
left his Jiome for the depot, where he
had an appointment with a man who
was going to Minneapolis on the eve
ning train. A freight train was stand
ing on a track and to save time he
attempted to cross between the cars.
It seems that he slipped while cross
ing and before he was able to get
away the train started and the wheels
passed over his body. No one saw
him at the time but he was found in
a few minutes. He was still alive and
when asked how it happened, he re
plied, "I slipped." Then he became
unconscious and died within a short
while. Mrs. Johnson was ill at the
time. Two weeks before she had fall
en and sustained painful injuries. On
Friday an operation was performed,
and, altho not of a serious nature,
she was confined to her bed at the
time of the funeral.
Frank L. Johnson was born on a
farm near Buffalo Lake in 1875. At
the age of ten years he moved with
his parents to Kerkhoven, where he
grew into manhood. He worked at a
great variety of things, having had
a butcher shop in Kerkhoven at one
time worked in a factory in Menom
inee, Wis., for a while, and had been
employed in a Kerkhoven elevator.
He was most proficient as an auction
eer and was employed a great deal
along that line in and around the
community.
In 1897 he was married to Miss
Ella Segerstrom, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Segerstrom, 1221
Campbell avenue, of this city. The
union was blessed with two children,
Francis, aged twelve and Merril, ag
ed ten.
The funeral was held on Monday at
3 o'clock in the Presbyterian church,
the local pastor officiating. It was
conducted under the auspices of the
Woodman lodge, of which the deceas
ed was a member. His mother sur
vives him, but his father died about
nineteen years ago. Two sisters and
six brothers mourn the loss of a bro

ISRAEL O. PETERSON.
One of the early pioneers of Will'
mar township and for many years a
familiar figure in our city, especially
at gatherings of the Luth. Free,
church, of which he was one of the
respected elders, passed away from
this life to his reward in the next last
Monday morning at 6:05 a. m. when
occurred the death of Israel O. Pet-,
erson at the home at 504 14th street.
Mr. Peterson suffered an attack of
apoplexy eighteen months ago, from
which he never, fully recovered, al
though he was able to be up and
around until within a week of his
death. \_-
Israel Olaiis Peterson was born at
Moe, Helgoland, Norway, August 3,
1836. He grew to manhood in his'
home parish where he received the
usual parish schooling and from
where he followed the occupation as
sailor. In the summer of 1869 he
emigrated to America, came to this
county and located on a homestead
claim in Section 30, Township of
Willmar, where he lived many years
and raised the family. He retired
from farming and for a number of
years has made his home in the city
of Willmar. He was a charter mem
ber of the Lutheran Free church, and)
has taken a live interest in the church
work ever since.
The deceased was married to Miss
Petrine Haagenson, who survives him
with five children and twelve grand-1
children. The children are: Martin
Peterson, Hanna Peterson, Anton
Peterson and Clara Peterson, all of
Willmar, and Nels Peterson of FargOy
The family have the sympathy-of a
large circle of friends in their be
reavement.
The funeral takes place this after
noon, with services at one o'clock at
the home and at two o'clock at the
Free Lutheran church, Rev. M. B,
Michaelson to officiate.
The Anderson Obsequies.
The obsequies of the late Mrs. A. J.
Anderson occurred last Thursday af
ternoon from the Swedish Baptist
church in this city. A large con
course of sorrowing friends assem
bled to show their respects to the de
parted. Rev. C. E. Oberg made a
very impressive sermon, using for his
text Rev. 21: 4-5, which the deceased
lady had chosen several months ago,
to be used on this occasion. The
pastor" was^assisted 'by Revs -The©,"
tors of the M. E. church, also bf re
quest of the deceased. The choir ten
derly sang two favorite songs, "Nei
ther Silver or Gold Has Secured My
Salvation," and "Shall We Meet Be
yond the River?" The pallbearers
were four sons—Messrs. Harry,
Charles, Levi and David Anderson, a
son-in-law, Christ Birkeland, and a
nephew, Joseph Broberg. Interment
took place in the Lutheran Free
cemetery. Relatives present from a
distance were a daughter, Mrs. F. E.
Norman of Finlayson and a sister,
Mrs. Ingeborg Broberg of New Lon
don.
The guests tried their skill at draw
ing a jack-'o-lantern blind folded, and
Nellie Robbins proved the best art
ist.
An excellent lunch was served at
small tables decorated with Hallow
e'en favors. Marsh mallows were
toasted over colored candles which
adorned the tables in front of each1
guest.
After having spent a delightful eve
ning the guests departed, pronounc
ing the party a most jolly affair.

Three" O'clock Thursday Afternoon,
Nov. 27, Thanksgiving Day, is~
"-.%„ Time Set for Battle. ^v
Weather permitting, the people of
this city will witness the cleanest,
fastest and most sensational game
of football ever staged in this city on
Thanksgiving afternoon, Thursday,
Nov. 27.
This annual meeting between the
high- school and alumni teams has
always been an event of general in
terest because all the members of the
two teams are Willmar boys. As a
general rule most of the spectators
have yelled for the old timers.pro
bably because they thought the sup
port was needed as the High School
would win anyway. We have a sort
of hunch that this year things are
going to be different, and the Alumni
this year has at least an even chance
of winning.
Should they do this it will be the
first time in the modern history of
the local school that such an event
has happened. Usually the superior
condition and training of the school
team stands them in good stead, and
along about the fourth quarter their
wind is better than that of the Alum
ni. Such was the case last year. For
three quarters the game was close,
the score being 6-0 in favor of the
High School. However, in the last
period the school team scored two
more touchdowns and won out 20-0.
This year it will be a different story.
At least five of the regulars to be
used in the game are in training for
the contest, while the other six are
in good physical condition. Add to
this the fact that there will be four or.
five goods subs on hand, and that all
those who will take part have at least
two or three years of football experi
ence to their credit, it can be seen
that the chances for an Alumni vic
tory this year are bright indeed. To
cap all this they will have the bene
fit of all the ideas of modern foot
ball obtainable. Those who are to
play on the team this year are bent
on making this an Alumni year, and
they have an idea that 1913 is the
year to turn the trick. With John
Feig and Viggo Larsen, two of the
best and fastest tackles the local
school has turned out, a line that will
prove invulnerable to the onslaughts
of Holt, Erickson and Yarrow, will be
built up.

NAMES FOR
FARM HOMES
Ninety-Seven Kandiyohi Farms
Have Registered Names
LIST OF THE NAMES ADOPTED
Suggestive List of Names That Are
not Yet Taken in the County. Sup
ply of Names Unlimited. But Few
Scandinavian. Names Found in the
List "-?"*,.
Ninety-seven names of farm homes
have been registered with the Regis
ter of Deeds in Kandiyohi county.
Farming is a business and as a busi
ness institution each farm ought to
have a name.- Nothing makes a bet
ter impression on passers-by as to
the kind of farmer than does a well
chosen name, neatly printed on the
mail box, or posted in a conspicuous
place. Some up-to-date farmers have
a signboard on which they have the
name and also a space below to ad
vertise anything they have for sale.
The majority of names registered
are of English origin, although we
find a few which are derived from
he Scandinavian, as "Olesund,"
"Kristinelund," "Stavanger," and
"Mamre-Lund." "Buena Vista" is
from the French meaning "good
view." Indian names, when properly
applied, make very attractive farm
names. Of Kandiyohi county names
derived from the Indian we note,
"Waconda," "Kasota," "Medayto" and
"Pohoka." There are any number of
foreign words or phrases which would
make good names for farm homes,
provided they are descriptive of the
place. In naming a farm care must
be taken to get a name which in it
self describes, to a certain extent, the
appearance of the place. To call a
farm "Jersey-land," with only one
Jjersey^cow on the place, or "Glen
wobo*, when- the farm is perfectly
would be" absurd. Still, it 'is- a
temptation when Such an attractive,
smooth-sounding name is run across.
