The safe
and sensible
way to keep money
is in this bank on checking ac
count. When you have a check book, you
are ready for any financial emergency. It is
just as handy as cash in the pocket, but with
out the risk of carrying a large sum of cur
rency. If you loose your check book,
are nothing out.
If the check you write falls into the wrong
hands, you have lost nothing. A check
book safeguards you against loss.

Minnesota Ready to Go Dry.
Hon. W. G. Calderwood, one of the
leading party prohibitionists of Min
nesota, attended the Anti-Saloon
League convention at Columbus, O.,
and sends the Willmar Tribune a re
port of his impressions of the gather
ing, which we publish in part An an
other column. This is the only re
port that we have received. We are
not taking sides in the controversy,
if such it may be called, between the
two divisions of the temperance
forces. We, of the ordinary everyday
people, never hear from either organ
ization except when the "campaign
funds" from which salaries of the
workers are paid, need replenishing.
We have been glad to "chip in" oui
mite to keep these excellent gentle
men going, in order that they might
get more funds to keep themselves?
going some more and so on, and on
but are inclined to believe that what
has been accomplished against the
saloon locally, here and there, has
been done on the side of these organ
isations rather than thru them. Mon
day we received an appeal to become
one of 2,000 Minnesota citizens to
raise a fund of $10,000 with which to
labor for THE RATIFICATION BY
THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
OF A FEDERAL AMENDMENT
TO ESTABLISH NATIONAL PRO
HIBITION! This would indicate that
the A. S. L. of Minnesota is not dis
counting the high aim set at Colum
bus to secure the submission of such
an amendment, but are taking it ser
iously. Our humble opinion is that
Minnesota will be ready to vote right
on such an amendment as soon as
is submitted by Congress, but that it
will be a "dry" state before it gets
the chance to vote for a "dry" nation.
The people of Minnesota are ready
right now to vote the state "dry" if
the question would be submitted. Why
not get together on such a program?
The new non-partisan law for elect
ing legislators in Minnesota gives the
temperance forces their opportunity
to get together. The brewing inter
ests have been non-partisan enough
to unite on men friendly to their in
terests regardless of what party label
they wore, while the temperance
forces have been divided among re
publican, democratic, progressive
prohibitionist and socialist candi
dates. By abolishing the party
names on county and legislative tick
ets, the legislature,—whether it so in
tended or not—has paved the way foi
united action among the forces whc
have been prevented heretofore to co
-operate by reason of partisan pre
judices. If we fail to get together

Rev.
Henry Dollerschell, resident in the
vicinity of Forest City, met with an
unlooked for accident on Saturday
last. He was in the woods, near the
river, when suddenly a bullet from a
small 22-rifle lodged in the elbow joint
of an arm. The wound, being in the
joint, is rather a bad one and will lay
him up for some time. He was un
able to determine the direction from
which the missile came. It was a
close call to a more serious injury.—
Litchfield Saturday Review.
The fears of his physician of gan
grenous infection in his mangled heel
were realized in the case of Charles
Fredericks of Lake Jennie who was
the victim of a bad hunting accident
last week, while sneaking up oh some
clucks. He was taken by auto to Das
sel last Sunday and thence to Eitel
Hospital, Minneapolis, where an oper
ation for the removal of the foot was
performed that evening. Portions of
gun wadding, shoe and woolen stock
ing had been driven clear into the
foot rendering the chances for saving
the foot desperate indeed.—Hutchin

John Warra, a young Finlander,
thirty-two years of age and married,
was drowned Friday afternoon while
engaged in raising a net in Lobster
lake. The ice upon the.lake made it
necessary to open a way for the boat
and Warra was standing, breaking
the ice with an oar, when he plunged
head first into the cold waters of the
lake. He rose and siezed hold of the
side of the boat, but, in endeavoring
to pull himself into the boat, he fell
back into the lake. Warra was a
good swimmer but was evidently
chilled and unable to keep* himself up
until help arrived.—Alexandria Post

Where the Trail Divides.
In casting about for a piece with
which to live up to his reputation as
manager and producer,-Mr. Primrose
ran across Robert Edeson's great
masterpiece, "Where the Trail Di
vides," and as a result the patrons of
the Willmar Opera House will get one
of the country's great successes for
the first time at Willmar on Wednes
day evening, Dec. 3.
Most theatre-goers are familiar
with this play and to them it needs no
introduction further than to say that
it is ill the hands of a most capable
company, and that no expense has
been spared to make the production,
thegmost pretentious and complete of
any Middle West play ever placed be
fore the public. When the late Hen
ry B. Harris made the original pro
duction, it was said to be most com
plete and jotted them down, with the
result that when the present produc
tion was built, the managers had thePercheron
advantage of the late producer and
are able to give the public a more,
thorough and complete detailed pro
duction of one of the best Indian
plays. Mr. Edeson's play is a partial
dramatization of Will Lillibridge's
novel of the same name, "Where The
Trail Divides," and is a complete and
masterful interpretation of all that is
good within the Indian nature, bring
ing to light that which has been hid
den for centuries from his white
brethren, his soul, and his innermost
feelings, wherein affairs of the heart
are concerned. When an Indian loves,
he does it with nobleness and a true
virtue, while most white men love
with a passion, that brings out all of
the animal instincts born of hatred
and* passion which usually results in
unhappiness to both.—Adv.
Oil Men are Here.
C- L. Maguire and A. G. Talbot, re
presenting the new independent oil
company, were in the city yesterday.
They report that work installing tanks
for the new plant will begin as soon
as the necessary filling can be done
and foundations laid. They will have
a capacity of 60,000 gallons for light
oils and 4,\)00 gallons for lubricating
oils. The new firm hopes to be able to
be able to open for business in April.
Mr. W. E. Scott, the president, will
make his residence here and expects
to move to Willmar in March, if he
can find a residence. Prospects for
the new enterprise seem very encour
aging.
