WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE
PUZZLEHAS BUT RYE DAYS LEFT
GET BUSY! THERE IS
YET GOOD TIME TO WIN
Win $50 or $100 In Tribune Con
test Closing Jan. 1, 1923
Five days left before the big con
test will come to a close. The pop
ular Willmar Tribune puzzle which
has been engaging the attention of
so many during the past months will
officially close on January 1, 1923.
"What's Wrong With This Picture"
has indeed proven a source of much
enjoyment to our readers and others
interested. Answers and subscrip
tions have been finding their way to
the Tribune office and increasing in
number as January 1 approaches,
gome excellent lists have been hand
ed in showing that care and keen ob
servation has been used. Best of all
those competing have made it a point
to gather a few subscriptions with
out much effort. These contestants
have placed their lists in the money
winning class which may reward
them liberally for their efforts. The
lists show splendid work. There are
a few scattering lists already handed
in with which we regret to note there
are no subscriptions. Contributors
who feel they have good lists should
not fail to back up their opinion by
a little effort in securing a number
of subscriptions. It will surely be a
disappointment later in case the list
was a winner and without a subscrip
tion.
All lists handed in or mailed with
the post mark of Jan. 1, 1923, will be
accepted but not later. This rule will
be observed strictly. Contestants
should prepare their final list with
care, enclose the subscription money
and name and address of subscriber.
Especially on the last days will the
mass of letters be great so that con
testants are urged to mail the lists
properly and neatly so that they can
be well taken care of. It is well to
use only one side of the paper, writ
ing the name on the top of each
sheet. Write plainly and if possible
have lists typewritten. The judges
may have trouble in deciphering
some of the handwriting. When sub
scriptions are enclosed write name of
subscribers and address. This should
be carefully observed.
CLEVELAND ROADSTER
BURNED ON WEDNESDAY
The car of E. N. Feleen as he was
enroute to the Bethesda Homes last
Wednesday, was burned. The fire
was caused from an overheated mo
tor and soon destroyed the curtains,
seats and other parts of the car. The
motor and front wheels were not
damaged. Harry Smith, Mr. Feleens
partner in the Willmar Construction
Co., was also in the accident. At
tempts to save the car were useless.
The damage was partially covered by
insurance.
BOY FALLS OFF BUILDING
JDHsworth Boomer, the small son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Boomer, was
rendered unconscious when he fell
from the Central School building on
Thursday. The boy had climbed up
on the outside of the building and
in some manner slipped and fell to
the ground. The boy was taken to
h\3 home.
FIRE
The fire department was called out
on Friday evening at 7:15. The fire
was at the home of Ed Sanderson on
Fifth St. It seems that Mr. Sander
son's car caught fire in some way
which threatened to destroy both the
car and the garage. The fire was put
out before the truck arrived.
CIVIC CLUB
The Civic Club will hold their reg
ular meeting in the library basement

JUDGMENT IS FOR
CITY COUNCIL
Atty. Young's Mandamus Case
Against City is Dismissed by
Judge Daly
Judge R. T. Daly filed his decision
in the case of Henry Young vs. City
Council of Willmar at the Clerk of
Court's office Dec. 19. After review
ing the case Judge Daly finds con
clusions, of law, as follows:
"That relator is not entitled to the
relief sought in these proceedings.
"That the-council in refusing to
appoint the relator acted within its
legal rights and exercised its legal
discretion.
"That the respondents are entit
led to judgment against the relator
dismissing and discharging the alter
native writ of mandamus herein and
dismissing this action.
"Let judgment be entered accord
ingly."
The case was tried in the Novem
ber term of court, George E. Chapin
appearing for Mr. Young and Geo.
D. Barnard, C. E. Oberg and Charles
Johnson for the city. Mr. Young in
forms the Tribune that he does not
know whether the attorney will ap
peal the case or not, but doubts that
he will. The idea was to make this
a test case to find out an ex-service
man's rights under the law as amend
ed.

CHILDREN HAD A
W MERRY TME
*.
Elks Entertain Kiddies at Big Fes
tival Held Last Sunday After
noon at Lodge Room
The kiddies had a great time. From
two o'clock until five in the after
noon last Sunday a group of some 50
youngsters were entertained royally
by the welfare' committee of the B.
P. O. Elks at the Elks club rooms.
The members of t"he lodge who reside
in Willmar had contributed various
sums of money'to a special fund.
Out of this fund money was taken
to purchase what was needed to give
some of the youngsters in poor homes
a good Christmas time.
A large Christmas tree had been
placed in the large room. It was fully
lighted and attractively decorated.
The Community Welfare Committee
together with the Salvation Army
arranged to .have the boys and girls
there. The Salvation Army succeed
ed in having about 50 of them on
hand Sunday afternoon. They did
not need a second urging, -we are
sure.
The youngsters formed a single
file line and as they entered the large
room they .were each given a bottle
of pop. The pop was donated by Mr.
E. S. Schmidt of the Crystal Bottling
Works. Sitting on the floor around
the Christmas tree the youngsters
relished the pop. Then the program
and feasting began. A quartet com
posed of Mrs. J. A. Rowat, Mr. Har
old Handy, Miss Ida Sanderson and
Rev.. J. R. McCullough sang several
enjoyable numbers. Mrs. F. G. Han
dy served as accompanist.
Rev. J. R. McCullough then spoke
to the children about the meaning of
ChristmasT" The youngsters showed
an unusual knowledge of the Bible.
Verse after verse were recited by
prepared for the program but were
verses they had memorized ordinari
ly-
Upon the conclusion of the pro
gram the feast began. The children
were given chicken sandwiches, cake,
doughnuts, ice,cream, niilk or coffee'
Each one was the recipient of a toy.
These pleased immensely. The youn
gsters thoroly enjoyed the lunch.
Later on they filed into the dining
room and returned with a generous
bag of candy and a large apple.
The Community Welfare Commit
tee ,of the Elks desires to thank the
following for the financial aid they
gave and the other assistance ren
dered to make the event the success
that it was:
Rev. J. R. McCullough.
_Mrs. F. G. Hand}'.

One of the best games this season

bunch will try their, hardest to carry
home the long end of the score as was
done in the game played last week

last few minutes of play by putting
in a basket 'and breaking the tie, giv
ing them the best end of a 24 to 22
score^ Lelaiid Hartwick, the athletic

SEVERINSON ELIGIBLE
Harold Severinson Eligible For
Basketball Team After Passing
Quarter Exams
Harold Severinson returned to
Minneapolis on Tuesday morning af
ter spending Christmas at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O*. K.
Severinson. "Sevie" held down' a
regular forward berth on the Uni
versity basketball team last year and
he will do so this yea* providing he
passes a condition the first of Janu
ary. It was thot in the first part of
the season that he would not be eli
gible to play this year on account of
his studies. He has passed his quar-"
terly examinations and if he passes
a condition in the 'first part of Janu
ary he will be able' to play. Severin
son was one of the highest scorers in
the western conference last year and
he no doubt will make a big showing
again this year. The team started
practicing today (Wed.) in order to
get in shape for the games that start
the first part of January.
WEED REPORT
Annual State Report of State Weed
Inspector, C. P.
Bull
Summary of the annual reports of
the local weed inspectors in Minne
sota is being compiled. Some of the
figures as to acreages of weeds'are
interesting, to say the least. It will
surprise the average man, who has
observed scenery in the Country, to
learn that 143 local inspectors an
swering the question No. 1: "How
many acres of weeds were cut By the
land owners, whom you visited, but
whom you did not have to serve a
notice on?" reported a total of 189,
522 acres. In reply to question No.
2: "How many acres were cut hy
land owners or operators after you
had served a notice?" 121 inspectors
reported a total of 32,928 acres. The \J
reports of 59 inspectors shows a to
tal of 7,589 acres as hired eut by the y'
local inspectors because, tne owner
or occupant neglected or refused, to
cut the weeds. This makes a total y^
of 230,037 acres of weedr cot be- -t
cause of the activity of the local weed^*-"rf:J
inspectors./This figure, it must be
understood,--does not indnde weeds
eut voluntarily by person* not soli
cited by the, inspectors.. Of the totaF^j
acres cut, 19,193 acres were in grow
ing crops: mostly small grains, butS?
some patches in corn%vand. potato
ft
