Don't Fail to See This Interesting Collection While it is Here.

The Minnesota State Art Society has on display at the High School Industrial Building this week a very interesting and instructive exhibit. This exhibition is free and is open to the public every afternoon of this week after 3:30 p. m.

Those most competent to judge, who have already made a careful in­spection, pronounce ; the exhibit as being of great interest and value to the community. And it is earnestly hoped that all our citizens will avail themselves of this opportunity to se­cure the benefits of this great educa­tional factor, which is in our midst.

In connection with the exhibit at the Industrial building the State Li­brary Commission have placed in the Willmar Public Library, for this week only, a 'collection of books which will give detailed information regarding the Arts and Crafts illus­trated by the exhibit. Those inter­ested should avail themselves of this opportunity while the books may be had.

Seminary arid High School Both Win. Last Friday aft rnoon the Semin­

ary defeated Delano by the score of 53 to 17. The game resembled a com­edy more than a basket ball game. Delano stood around and watched the Seminary place the ball in the basket which they certainly did for the sum total of 53 points, while Del­ano ran up the large score of 17 points, three of which were fouls. Delano lacked life and team work and looked as if the high school on the next evening would have equally as enjoyable time. But Saturday evening Delano showed a complete reversal of form. The high school hasn't been up against such a close-guarding team this year. Delano was fast, ever on the alert and always following the ball. The half ended 8 to 10 in favor of Delano. The first part of the second half it looked as if Willmar was not destined to win. But in the last five minutes of play they got together and caged enough baskets to win. The high school sure­ly pulled this game out of the fire. During the first half the local boys seemed unable to get together. As Erickson was on the sick .list, this might account for the situation. Holt, who took Erickson's place, played a good game, but lacked Erickson's ex­perience. Taylor got 3 baskets, Branton five, Johnson 2 and the rest was gotten by means of free throws.

Housekeepers' Club Entertains. One of the prettiest socials of the

season was given by the Housekeep­ers' Club last Saturday afternoon at the Odd Fellows hall.

The shades were drawn and the hall softly lighted with candles in old brass candlesticks. Flags and bunting and old time-honored and valued china and other relies were the decorations.

Mrs. Andrew Larson as Martha Washington looked very quaint in her old time costume and curls, and Philip Haley made a typical George Washington. Mrs. Moore, assisted by Mesdames McKinnon and Faley, poured the tea and served dainty re­freshments at a prettily appointed table in true colonial style. Assist­ing about the rooms in old fashioned costumes were Mesdames Philip HalT

ey, J. R. Petersen, George W. Tyler and C. F. Spencer.

An orchestra composed of Reuben Ekander, Wm. Mooney and Alvin Nordstrom rendered several very pretty selections. Piano duets by Misses Geraldine and Phyllis Haley were well received. Miss Margaret Hicks entertained very pleasingly with piano solos and a m dley of patriotic airs. Mrs. B. Y. McNairy sung in a most charming manner several old time ballads so popular in by-gone days, and the Misses Breher and Coleman delighted their hearers with pretty vocal duets ac­companied by Miss Hanseom.

MRS. J. H. NEER. Mrs. Hannah E. (Knowles) Neer,

widow of the late. Joseph H. Neer of New London passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. S. Johnson at Paynesville on Feb. 17, from an attack of pneumonia.

With her parents, Robert Knowles, she came to Kandi­yohi county in 1867, living first at Green Lake where Spieer village is located and later at New London, where Mr. Knowles was employed in the mill. In 1871 the deceased was married to Jos. H. Neer, and they lived at New London until Mr. Neer's death three years ago. She is mourned by her two daughters and their husbands: Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Johnson of Paynesville and Mr. and Mrs. C. J . Halvorson of New Lon­don; one brother, Robert Knowles of Minneapolis; and a sister, Mrs. Har­ry Attix of Colorado, and a large circle of devoted friends. The fu­neral occurred at New London last Thursday.

Pool Room Keepers Fined. Sheriff Peter Bonde inaugurated a

crusade last Friday against pool room keepers in the city who have permitted minors to play at their ta ­bles. The cases were all secured Feb. 17 and 18, and the sheriff has a sufficient number of cases on his list to make the pool room men look out closely as to the age of their patrons after this.

The first case was that of A. C. McGrew, who was charged with per­mitting a 16-year-old high school student to play pool in his place. After some hesitation Mr. McGrew concluded to plead guilty and paid a fine of $10 and costs. James McGrew paid a similar fine on Sat­urday. We understand the sheriff has eight or nine more counts against the McGrew place which he will hold back if no further complaint is made. Other pool room men who were as ­sessed fines of $10 each and costs in the Municipal court Friday were F. L .Ward, John Ward and A. H. Locke.
