COMMITTEE.
There was Hallowe'en party at
the home of Luther Spalding last
Saturday evening, promoted by
Frank Spalding and wife from Min
neapolis. Besides the presence of
all the children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Spalding about 40 young friends
were in attendance.
E. J. Noes, who had been a clerk
in the A. R. Alleman store for the
past six months, left Tuesday for
Blue Earth, Mimi, to locate on a
farm which he had lately bought.
Mr.. Noes is very pleasant young
man and has made many friends
while here. Peter Hagen of st. Paul
| takes Mr.. Noes place in the store.
One of the most noteworthy adj
dresses delivered before the West
ern Wisconsin Teachers associa-
ton now in session at Sparta was
that of John F. Sims, Institute Con-
ductor of the River Falls Normal
school, in which he took up the SUBJ
ject of Impulse to Initiative. The
address was delivered before the
convention Thursday evening and
was ably handled. La Crosse Daily
Tribune, Oct. 81.
Many people have noticed the fact
that calendars differ this year on
the date of Thanksgiving day for
1905, remarks an exchange. Some
of them mark November % and
others 80. There are five Thursdays
in November, which is unusual. 1t
is usual to proclaim the last Thurs
day as Thanksgiving day, but there
is an idea among some that the day
proclaimed is the Thursday after
the third Wednesday. This would
bring Thanksgiving on the 23d.
Since the calendar makers have diff
fered and little information is at
hand, the doubtful have concluded
to wait patiently and see what
President Roosevelt says about it.
Several items in last weeks Jour
NAL read a little like ancient his
tory, as that in which is the state
ment, flowers are yet in bloom and
only last Saturday Mrs. E. Van
Voorhis picked full-blown rose in
her flower garden" When the
statements were written and put in
type the items were pertinent and
fresh. Some of these statements
were made week before last but did
not get into the JOURNAL on account
of the crowded condition of every
column, Notwithstanding the fact
that we had tried to catch up by
setting everything solid, increasing
the reading matter of four pages by
two columns. Last week we were
enabled to get off much of this re-
serve fund by issuing a supplement,
enabling us to start this week with
all fresh material.
New Richmond's new 5000
school house has 10 school rooms
besides the recitation rooms and Of
fees. AS we have said before, the
school board of that city acted wise
1y in building not only for present
needs but also with view to future
demands. 1t was measure of
economy and efficiency. A munich
patty can afford to be liberal in the
venture of features of public sery-
ice. In the matter of water works,
electric lights, school buildings,
etc., an adequate outlay will give
convenience to the present and
future generation. The issuing of
bonds to pay for such utilities en-
ables all to enjoy their use people
of to-day, who put in their labor
and a part of the money to erect
them, and those of the future who
must justly bear part of the bur-
den of expense.
