Fighting with all the spirit they could muster, the local high school football team practically tied the heavy and fast team representing Windom Institute of Montevideo, last Saturday afternoon. Altho the final score was 14-12 in the visitors' favor, the locals can look with pride on their work, "as they outplayed their oppon ents during the greatest portion of the game. Each team scored two touch downs, and the winning points were scored on goals from touchdown. This point is usually overlooked in high school football as it seems quite easy to boot the ball over the cross bar from the 15 yard line, and anyway, what's a point or two. In this case the point or two proved the locals un doing. The field was in wretched shape and it was almost impossible to secure footing of any kind. Both teams fought hammer and tongs dur ing the first half and each team could gain plenty of ground in the center of the field, but as soon as the ball was worked down near one of the goal lines the defense immediately stiffened and further gaining was im possible. Neither team was able to score during this half. The second half opened with the lo cals playing a little more advanced, football and they pulled off several good forward passes. However, one of these went astray and a Windom man clasped one of Erickson's choic est passes in his arms and dashed down the field for the first score of the game. Goal was kicked. Windom scored once more in this period and kicked goal. With the be ginning of the last quarter the locals played desperately and pulled off a bewildering series of forward passes that proved the best ground gainers of the day Pass after pass was reel ed off, most of which were successful and finally Styles went across for the first Willmar score. Soon after this Erickson ripped thru the line for an other score, but both goals were miss ed. The high school team have put 'n hard practices this week for the big game tomorrow. Norling will be at center and MacDonald at tackle out side of these changes they will line up as usual. FORMER BELGRADE RESIDENT CONVICTED OF MURDER Louis A. Larson is Found Guilty of Murdering His Wife at Los Angeles. Louis A. Larson who was accused of having slain his wife in the Ver dugo hills, Los Angeles, on June 23, was found guilty of murdering his wife after but forty minutes delibera tion by the jury. The first degree verdict calls for the death penalty which was imposed Tuesday of this week. No news as yet has been re ceived here vhat sentence will be im posed. The witnesses in the trial were Miss Lulu Carpenter and the daugh ter of Larson, Miss Luella. The evi dence of Miss Carpenter with whom Larson was intensely in love did not prove damaging. M. D. Yale, a con ductor testified of seeing Larson and a woman on his car on Sunday, June 22, and J. H. Burns, a carpenter, testi fied of finding Mrs. Larson in the hills and that he also saw Larson getting through a wire fence and spoke to him. Another witness called during the trial was a saloon-keeper who tes tified that he sold Larson two bottles of beer on the day before his wife met her death. There were still other wit nesses but the most damaging testi mony was that given by Larson's own daughter, Luella. Her voice was fill ed with bitterness and she glanced contemptuously at her own father and eager to answer all questions. She told of the double life Larson was liv ing while the family resided in San Francisco and also of her mother tell ing her that if anything ever happen ed to her, to never let her father go free. Many other things were testi fied to by Miss Luela but her father denied all charges. During the trial Larson displayed little worry, anxiety or emotion and even when he heard his fate he show ed no concern and seemed entirely at ease. Larson expressed the hope that he may have a second trial as he proclaimed that he was innocent.— Belgrade Tribune. SVEA. Svea, Nov. 24—Miss Ellen Lindberg of Willmar is dressmaking at M. R.

On the occasion of her de but in musical circles of Chicago last April, when she gave a recital at the Fine Arts Theatre of that city, she pleased the audience and received many gratifying press criticisms. From a number of these we cull the following: "It is pleasant to be able to set down words of commendation con cerning Miss Pearson's singing. The voice of this artist is not of great sonority, but it carries well. The higher' compass is brilliant. There is that in this recitalist's sing ing which is more appealing than her voice. She has endowed herself with the power of translating emo tion into vocal sound, and by that token not a little of the.work she set forth was of appealing charm."—Chi cago Record-Herald. "Miss Pearson proved a singer of much promise. Temperament that can present-Mrs. Beach's "An, Love but a Day" with such fervor as -Miss Pearson developed, never fails of its appeal to the people, so there was abundant reason for the cordi ality of her listeners."—Chicago Tri bune. -v -'J "The voice is a soprano of wide range." "Miss Pearson's per formance was encored—which is something of a hint." "Wagner's Traume ,was ^beautifully «. -done,"-1 Chicago Inter-Ocean. '. "The possession of a voice of more thaftv ordinary quality and power, plenty of tempframeq.t -0MB3W8&""""""'" idea of the meaning of the songs she sings makes Miss Pearson a most en joyable artist to listen to."—Chicago Evening Post. "Last evening Esther Pearson, a soprano of agreeable personality and with musical gifts of high order, pre sented a program of songs, and in the- fine German Heder of Schumann, Schubert, Brahms and Wagner, dis closed some very excellent qualities. She has a high,^ light voice which is well schooled, and has fine interpre tive talents."—-Chicago Examiner. IAKE-IUUAN LETTER. Lake Lillian, Nov. 25—We are still enjoying summer weather.

ASK TOR NEW SCHOOLHOUSE The Board of Education of Willmar has called a special school election to convene Friday evening, Dec 5, to vote on a proposition to issue $30,000 four per cent bonds for providing school room in this city. The Board has adopted working plans for an eight-room building, so designed that two wings with four more rooms may be provided when needed. A propos ition to remodel the old Lincoln building was rejected by the district early this year. The demands for ropm are growing steadily. There are ninety more pupils enrolled now than were enrolled in_November of last year. Every schoolroom in the city is filled and most of them are overcrowded, many far beyond the limit allowed by the State. The basement of the public library is also in use. This being the case, it is ob vious to all that something must be done to provide for more room be fore the beginning of another school year. By applying early, State money can be secured at four per cent. By having plans all -made and contract let early it will be possible to have building finished in time for school in the fall. Therefore the Board of Education has deemed it their duty to submit this question at this time. The question .of a site for the new building has not been determined as yet. It is conceded that the five lots on which the present Lincoln building stands is not a suitable site for a larger schoolhouse. Various plans are being discussed, with the predom inating sentiment being in favor of buying an entire block to place the new building upon. If it would prove practicable to carry out, the most sat isfactory re-arrangement would be to sell the second ward building, move the Lincoln building to take its place, sell the present Lincoln lots and purchas a new site for the new ^An eight-room ^building without the present Lincoln building would be filled with the present en rollment, leaving no lee-way for the expected growth of next two or three years.

Sorenson, Secretary of the Minnesota Dairymen'* and Buttermakers' Association. HE SILO on a dairy farm is something of great importance. It is not a question whether it pays or not, as this has been demonstrated time and again. It is merely a question of how' long can the dairyman afford to get along without it? There has been an immense number of silos built throughout the different sections of the state the past year, and I have yet to find the inan who will not say that it is the best investment he has on his dairy farm Stop and figure for yourself. Say you have a herd of 10 cows averaging 150 lbs. of butterfat per year, making a total of \r 1,500 pounds in all. Now if you can increase that herd from 150 pounds per cow up to,250 pounds per cow, by having a silo, or say ensilage to feed those ten cows, say for 6 or 7 months, figuring 1000 pounds of butterfat per year at 35c per pound, it would make $350 00. Would not this soon pay for a silo, I mean the cost of building one. -1 think you should take this into consideration when f^ this money is practically made by feeding succulent food to the cows during the winter stabling. You can readily see that it is not a question of whether it pays, "but how long can yon afford to lose^ money by not having one?" Last year was a hard one for hay, as a shortage prevailed nearly every-: ^3 where. But we do not hear much or at least not near as much from places where the ensilage is fed as roughage, therefore friends and dairymen think this matter over before seeding your fields^ into grain or field corn. Remember a few acres of good fodder corn will do well and it will not take a very large field to provide for a good full silo in the latter season of the harvest Again I put the question, "How long can when you are too busy with other things to think about a silo If you buy now you can Jiave that^*3W% Come in and talk it over ^±^^^.^^^^-^s^^^ 53^ kaki^ ZZJ Special School Meeting Called to Convene Dec. 5 to Vote on Yaw W«rt« litfct TRIBUIE £Z2&kk*&f )k'ii\\\\\^\\WKi [This column is open to any church in the County, the only condition being that "copy" is sent us In good season each week.
