John Will iams and L. A. Wold had done their part well in planning the feed, and the Ladies' Social Union had charge of the serving of the same. The menu consisted of grape fruit, roast turkey, sage dressing, creamed potatoes, brown gravy, mashed turnips, celery, dill pickles, cranberry marmalade, graham bread, white bread, shrimp salad with cream dressing, Saratoga wafers, ice cream, snow cake, coffee, mints and cigars. After having en joyed this feast the participants were in a receptive mood and listened with great interest to the addresses made. The first talk was by Mr. John H. Hohmann of Mankato, the president of the "Minnesota State Automobile Association. We will not say much about this speech here because we deem it worthy of being published in full, and it will appear in an early issue of the Willmar Tribune. The speaker traced the movement for better roads from its beginning to its present stage and sounded a note of caution that such improvements be distributed as fairly as possible to the different communities. He urged the local club to become affiliated with the state association, which suggestion was later favorably acted upon. The next speaker, Atty. Eric Thornton of Benson, made a very in teresting talk, telling of the success of the Benson Club and methods they had used to overcome prejudice and opposition to their work. The last speaker was D. N. Tall man, chairman of the Good Roads Committee. He spoke of the amount of money available for the building of roads in Kandiyohi County and how it will be distributed. There will be available to be spent on the state roads in tne county this year, $34,015.72, which has been ap portioned by the County Board as follows: Willmar to Atwater, $4,000 Willmar to Pennock, $3,100 north m. s. nuROKH »., Surgeon in Charge K.

The speaker claimed that only one-half of the increased taxes are due the road taxes. The total amount available to be spent on Kan diyohi County roads this year reach es the sum of $82,473. The membership committee assist ed by Dr. E. H. Frost were active and enrolled sixty-five new members. This will give the Club an impetus it has never had before.

Gilbert, secretary and E. P. Bjornberg, treasurer. The an nual meeting of the club occurs this month. A MARCH WEDDING. North Dakota Farmer Claims Kandi- yohi County Girl as Bride. A fine home wedding took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Olson of Dovre Township last Wed nesday afternoon at four o'clock, when the daughter, Miss Olga, be came the bride of Mr. Emil Anderson of Foreman, N. D. The service was read by Rev. A. W. Franklin. The bride was attired in crepe chiffon laid over white satin. She was attended by two cousins, Misses Ethel Olson and Esther Wal stead. Miss Olson wore pale blue crepe trimmed in white and Miss Walstead wore pink crepe trimmed in white. The groom was attended by a brother oT the bride, Axel Olson, and a cousin, Elmer Olson. 'The wedding supper was served .at six o'clock, covers being laid for twelve. Guests from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Anderson and Miss Esther Walstead of Foreman, N. D. The happy young people left for a short trip to the Twin Cities last Friday and will be at home to their friends on the groom's farm near Foreman, N. D., very soon. All friends of the contracting parties in this county extend hearty congratu lations. Alderman Would Abolish Tax. Alderman Sperry asks the Willmar Tribune to make clear to the voters how to make their "X" on the poll tax amendment. If you place the "X" after the word "Yes" that will be in favor of the amendment that abolish es the tax. If you vote "No" that will help defeat the amendment and retain the tax. Mr. Sperry is strong ly in favor of abolishing the tax. He says that in the first place the exemp tions of the law release a large share of the voters from paying the tax then it is a tax that has been abolish ed in most townships and cities and people moving in resist the payment, and create bad blood and annoyance of many kinds then the net returns to the city after paying a man for col lecting the tax is small and lastly, but not least, the injustice of allowing only one dollar a day to the man who must work it out. The charter pro vides that the tax shall be two days' work or $2 in cash. These reasons, says Mr. Sperryt ought to convince any fair-minded man that Willmar should abolish the tax. Masons May Build. The Masonic fraternity secured an option on a lot 50x75 feet next north of the library and may decide to erect a temple on the same. The building would probably cost in the vicinity of $20,000. Postponement The Toung People's society that was to have met at Carl Sletten's north of town Thursday evening, Apr. 2 will be postponed until Good Friday, April 10 at the same place. —Miss Enga Etrandness spent last Wednesday here with Miss Evelyn Grindeland, after having visited in the cities and with her sister, Mrs. Rev. Johanson at Spicer.

The annual mass convention of Willmar City voters at Bonde Hall last Thursday evening proved a very harmonious one.. All present incum bents of city offices were re-nominat ed by acclamation. The following is the ticket: For Mayor—E. C. Welln. For City Clerk—H. Gunderson. For Treasurer—C. W. OdeU. For Assessor—August O. Forsberg. For Constables—Alfred Gilbertson, Ole Westgard. FIRST WARD. For Alderman, 2 years—Ben Ben son. SECOND WARD. For Alderman, 2 years—J. W. Kent. For Alderman, 1 year—J. H. Martin. For Justice—A. O. Forsberg. THIRD WARD. For Alderman, 2 years—L. A. Tjos vold. FOURTH WARD. For Alderman, 2 years—G. A. Er ickson. At 7:30 o'clock the convention was called to order by Russel Spicer, of the city committee, who read the call. On motion duly, carried Hon. C. W. OdeU was elected chairman of the meeting and W. O. Johnson, secre tary. For Mayor, Judge Gilbert presented the name of the present burgomaster, Mr. Einar C. Wellin, in a neatly word ed speech and the nomination was seconded by Atty: Chas. Johnson. There being no other nomination, Mike, Manning moved that the nomi nations be made unanimous and" the secretary be instructed to cast the ballot for the meeting which was done. The same procedure took place in the renomination of H. Gunderson for City Clerk, C. W. OdeU for treas urer, Alfred Gilbertson and Ole West gard as constables and A. O. Forsberg as assessor. The convention then divided into groups by wards to nominate alder men and Justices. The old battling Third ward proved most harmonious of all. Alderman Tjosvold who has served a one-year term was re-nominated without op position. The annual Joke of nomi nating a Justice in this ward was sprung and G. P. Karwand was nam ed in spite of his protests. In the First Ward caucus, Ben Benson was nominated for Alderman over H. C. Larsen by a vote of 17 to 9. In Second ward J. W. Kent receiv ed 25 votes, E. M. Stanford, 12 and Sandbo 8 for the two-year aldermanic term. To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Alderman Andrew Hedin, three candidates were suggest ed of which J. H. Martin received 37 votes, E..M. Stanford, 7, and E. T. Sandbo, 8. A. O. Forsberg was, re nominated as Justice. In the Fourth ward caucus G. A. Erickson received 14 and Andrew BJorsell 1% votes as candidate for ald erman for two years. As a city committee to call next year's convention, chairman OdeU, V. B. Lawson, L. O. Thorpe, A. A. An derson and N. O. Nelson. The signing of the petitions for the several candidates was completed and lights were out before nine o'clock. The good natured feeling of the odd two hundred voters who attended this meeting forecasts a very quiet city election. Ladies' Aid Meets. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Thursday afternoon, April 9th.
