TRIBUNE READERS ARE EAGER FOR STORE NEWS COUNTY OPTION LISTS ARE BEING SIGNED Reasons Why An Early Elec tion On This Issue Is Desirable. So far there have been 27 coun ty option petitions sent in with 459 signatures attached to same. Word ha9 also been received from various parts of the county that petitions are being circulated. There will be an op portunity for Willmar voters to sign those petitions at the city mass con vention Friday night. In some localities the question has been raised as to the necessity for a special election, and if it would not be a needless oxpense to the county. While the reasons for an early vote have been pretty well discussed in our columns before, we will restata them so that there need be no misap prehension on the part of those who are in favor of continuing and forti fying our county as dry territory. First, the county option law requires a special election. The question can not be submitted at a general election, but must be voted on at an election called for that purpose only Noth ing can therefore be saved by wait ing, as far as election expenses are concerned, if the law is to be of any benefit in the county at all Secondly, there is nothing to pre vent wholesale liquor depots being op ened in any township where there has been no formal vote taken against license, and with the increasing des peration of the liquor people, we have no guarantee that such places will not be put in. The experience in Harri son is a case in point. Were it not for an old vote taken there many years ago there would have been no means to rid the community of the nuisance last year. Thirdly, the result in the Township of Harrison, has actually made a por tion of our county wet, at least on the face of the returns. We are told that no less than four breweries are figuring on wholesale depots in Harri son, even with the short lease of life which county option promises. As the limits of the township include the beautiful summer resort of Diamond Lake, and extend to the shores of Green Lake and within a mile of At water, the prospect is wet enough to call for early action Fourthly, the voting of prohibition in the whole county will settle the question for all time to come This will do away with the possibility of further local fights on the question in our city or the villages and townships of the county It is a consummation which our people have devoutly wish ed for for many years, and now that the privilege is ours, let us use it Why should our county lag behind in a movement in which it has played so conspicuous part, especially when it comes to securing the fruits of vic tory? Let some one qualified to receive acknowledgements circulate a peti tion at every social gathering in the county. Don't allow the foolish talk of "needlesss expense" deter you trom doing this work in a good cause. —Edwin Stenson made a business trip to the twin cities last Saturday Majestic Theatre WHERE EVERYBODY GOES FRIDAY, MAR. 26 MR.

BASKET BALL SEASON TO CLOSE Several Fast Games Scheduled for This Week Will Wind Up the Local Season. Basket ball fans of this season will have just one more chance to see their teams in action this week, before the curtain is rung down on one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed, locally. One of the features of the games this week is that all five of the Will mar teams will perform. On Friday evening in the Seminary gym. at 8 o'clock the Cosmos team will clash with the fast Morris Independ ents. This without doubt will be one of the hardest fought games ever played in this city, as the feeling be tween the teams is none too good. Morris defeated the locals at that place a couple of months ago, and then refused to come here for a re turn game. Monday morning, how ever, their manager called up and a contest was arranged. Both teams will have the strongest possible lineups in the field, and the game should be a warm one. On Saturday evening the boys' teams of the Seminary and high school will play again, this time at the high school gym., and the girls teams will also meet. The Seminary girls' team has play ed but one game, but in this one they showed considerable knowledge of the game, and should give their more ex perienced opponents a hard battle. The boys' games will be dandies. The rivalry between these teams is always intense, and, altho the high school has by far the best record for the season, the northside bunch are planning a little surprise, such as was the case last year. Anyway you look at it, it is bound to be a grand finish to the local bas ket ball season, ana monster crowds are looked for each evening. Epworth League Social.

Fate seems to be against Willmar high school basket ball teams. Each time they enter the state tournament at Northfield, they draw one of the hardest teams/' to play the opening game with. Three years ago it was their luck to draw Fosston for the op ening battle, and that year Fosston won the championship of the state. This year they drew Mountain Lake, and this team entered the finals for the title, losing to Red Wing in a hard game. However, the Willmar team put up a great game, and were only beaten after one of the hardest fights of the whole tournament. The final score was 29-25. Mountain Lake jumped in to the lead at the start of the game, and had things pretty much their own own way during the first half, which ended with the score 20-12 in their favor. The second half was different, how ever, and Willmar tore in with a ven geance, scoring 13 points to 9 for the half. Mountain Lake made but one field basket in the final period. The inability of Johnston to cover Hiebert in the first half, aided mater ially in the locals down fall. This ster ling forward connected with the net five times in the first period, for a to tal of ten points. Hedberg guarded him in the second half, and so close did he cover, that Hiebert was un able to score a basket. Severinson led the Willmar team in scoring with four field and nine foul baskets. Yarrow with two, and John ston and Erickson with one each did the rest of the Willmar scoring. Hiebert, with five field and nine foul baskets accounted for 19 of the win ners points. Jensen, Schiminowski and Vogt did the remainder of the scoring for Mountain Lake. Fifteen fouls were called on Moun tain Lake and ten on Willmar. The refereeing was quite close, altho it didn't seem to bother the boys to any great extent. Red Wing won the championship by defeating Mountain Lake Saturday evening by a score of 30-18 and from the reports of the Willmar team, the winners had by far the best team in the tournament. The score: Willmar Mountain Lake Severinson Hiebert Yarrow Jensen Erickson Vogt Holt Schiminowski Johnston Eitzen Subs: Hedberg for Johnstone. Amateur Thespians Were Good. The Seminary students provided a very enjoyable evening for those who attended the rendition of "The Polit ical Tinker" last Thursday evening. This inimitable Holberg comedy was interpreted with good success. The difficult part of Herman Von Bremen, the tinker, was taken by Alexander Sand. Miss Ruth Sanderson, as Geske, his wife, carried her part well. Russell Curran, the servant, made a hit as the clown. The members of the Collegium Politicum was an interest ing bunch and their meeting was one of the funny scenes of the play. Gerret Roelefs and Thorwald Ryk ken, in their powdered wigs, made good as lawyers of that period. The others of the cast did well. The play was well costumed, and Prof. Peter son and the participants are to be congratulated on their efforts. Thai.* annual play has become an event look ed forward to by an increasing num ber of people. —Hon. L. O. Thorpe made a busi ness trip to St. Paul Monday. KANDIYOHI COUNTY BANK ANDRE HIT LARSON.

W. Odell reports to the press of the county the following contributions received by him up to date for the Old Settlers' Memorial. This project was launched by the Old Settlers' Association of Kandiyohi and a committee was appointed which was directed to begin the work of gather* ing funds for a suitable memorial to be erected in the courthouse yard to commemorate the early pioneers of the county. The minimum amount to be considered was set at $1,600 and it is hoped to make it much more. Every donor of a dollar or more will receive a fine certificate of that fact, suitable for framing. Every school donating five dollars or more will re* ceive a certificate already framed to hang in the schoolhouse. It is believ ed that every district in the county will wish to be represented in this movement to do honor to the early pioneers who came out and conquered the wilderness and many of whom fell victims to the savage Indians.
