Last night and also the night
before it rained with an accom-
paniment of thunder and light
ming. The rain of last night was
pretty heavy, and as consequence
the roads are mud. Thunder and
lightning announce the fact that

crossed the equator Tuesday, the
21st, when the day and night were
of equal length, the sun rising at
six and setting at six. Another in
timation of spring is the advent of

week Rev. w. E. Risinger of Cum
berland is assisting. Interest has
been deepening and many have
been helped. The house has been
we'll filled at every. service with an
appreciative audience. Sensation
al methods have not been employed.
The services have appealed to the
heart and reason of each nearer.
Mr.. ]. N. Jensen of Hudson, organ
izer of Independent Scandinavian
Workingmen's Association was
here to organize local branch of the
order. Mr.. Jensen says he did not
receive sufficient encouragement to
warrent further attempts to organ
ize lodge here at present. He will
give the people more time to think
over the matter and study the
claims of the order on the commun-
ity of Scandinavians. The neigh
boring lodges of Hudson and Mar
tell will perhaps influence the
people toward the founding of a
lodge in River Falls. Mr.. Jensen
further says that the order is pop
ular wherever it is known and the
members are enthusiastic for it's
extension. The assessment rates
are laid on solid basis and a good
reserve fund has been accumulated
so that the order can meet the flu
ture with confidence.
