BROOKS HANDED THE HAMILTON
CLUB SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T EXPECT

were responsible for the crushed
womanhood of the nation. And a mo-
ment later Miss Brooks made it
worse.
"In particular" she said, consider
what the big State street department
stores are doing, how they are max
ing mere machines of young girls,
machines that are ruthlessly cast
aside when they become so worn that
they cannot work at top speed. :.
Gust because you employers know
that there are hundreds of girls so
poor, so needy, that it is easy to get
girls cheap, do you think it right of
you just because you have the power
to use it the way you do?
1T is possible that the O'Hara COM
mission will fail in what it has set
out to do. 1 don't know. But 1 do
know one thing, and that is that the
idea and the principle that economic
conditions must be held responsible
for vice and crime has sunk into the
very hearts of the people and never
will be erased.
Julius Rosenwald, on the stand,
declared that environment and not
wages caused girls to go wrong. But
Rosenwald did not answer when he
was asked if it were not true that
environment could be bought.
"The mask has been torn from
some of our leading citizens, our
'philanthropists.' The terror of the
situation of their girl employees has
become real to every man and woman
in the state, and even if the minimum
wage bill fails, shall consider the
O'Hara commission successful be-
cause of this.
81 am not going to try and say
what would be a proper minimum
wage. 1 do not know enough about
it. There are thousands of the peo-
pie who do know. But think min
imum wage should be fixed, and not
only for women but for men as well.

patters known as the Hamilton Club
now has an excellent idea of what it
feels like to ask for soft soap and be
handed wallop.
These latter days have been par
lous ones for the Republicans of the
Hamilton Club anyhow. There has
been insurrection among the young
er members. The clubs one hero has
been retired to a private golf links.
The shadow of William Lorimer lies
heavy over every debate, and nobody
seems to love standpat Republican
anyhow.
Still, the club was getting along
nicely, if somewhat obscurely, until
yesterday, when it make the mistake
of asking Virginia Brooks to address
it on white slavery.
Just what the club expected Miss
Brooks to say is not known. But she
didn't say it.
William B. Austin, president of the
club, introduced Miss Brooks.
There has BEEN" said Austin sad
", much talk lately of white slav-
cry. Miss Brooks has seen much of
white slavery and the causes there
of. She is going to tell you a little
about the curse that is destroying the
social fabric of the nation"
Miss Brooks looked around at the
300 or so, sleek, well-fed, prosperous
looking business men. And she
smiled.
ooh, you men of big affairs" she
began, cant you see the handwrit-
ing on the wall? Don't you under
stand what the big employers are do
ing? Can't you see how they are
crushing down the womanhood of
the nation?
what chance are you men giving
the working girls to develop the fine
qualities that all of them have? Why
don't you give them chance?"
The members of the club fidgeted

Send To River Falls For
Flowers

That River Falls is gaining a
reputation for high class floral
trade is attested by the large and
continuous express shipments by
the River Falls Floral Company.

order from the Hudson Car Shops,
sent in through the River Falls
Floral Co.. Hudson branch Office,

A Good AID. For River Falls

The Milwaukee Free Press of last
Sunday reproduced the photograph
of the business section of River
Falls which has appeared in the
Journal the past two weeks. Over
the picture was the caption, River
Falls, One of Wisconsin's Liveliest
Towns, Entrepot of Beautiful
Country" with the following COM
ment: "The River Falls Journal,
from which the subjoined illustra-
ton is reproduced, recently con-
tanned an elaborate write-up of the
early history of River Falls. The
town was founded in 1854 and is
reputed to be one of the most
beautiful i'll all Wisconsin"
This is good advertising for
River Falls. The picture and his
torical sketch referred TO were not
ed by many other papers through
out the state, all adding compli-
mentary notes of comment. The
Journal hopes to run several not
able boosts" for River Falls dur
ing this year, and invites all its
readers to help by sending in all
the live items they can, The items
of business and social activity in
the city and community are the
ones that are attractive to the
readers, both at home and abroad,
and it is to the interest of everyone
who wishes to see River Falls
prosper to have these items pub
lished. Don't wait for someone
else to do it-phone your items to

The sale of Red Cross Seals in
River Falls this year amounted TO
$32 "a. The sales by the school
children in the two hours that they
we're out, were $21.25. The balance,
$11 95, came from sales in the BUSH

sale for city of this size, but no
organized effort at large sale was
made here.
Are all children under sixteen
years of age living in the city of
River Falls attending school? The
lists are now being checked over in
order to answer the question. The
law provides that all such children
must attend school for at least eight
months each year, and penalty TO
parents and guardians who do not
see that they so attend. The dis
trict attorney, sheriff, under sheriff
and deputy sheriffs are charged
with the enforcement of the law up
on receipt of proper notice of delin-
quency.
Last weeks Journal contained an
item to the effect that the school
board at Spring Valley has passed

readers of the paper to know that
the state law provides fine or i'm.
prisonment to any person under
sixteen years of age who uses to-
bacco in any form anywhere, unless
he is in company with his par

yield was. He assured me that
there was no reason 10 suppose
that the mans statment of nine
bushels was an exAggeration. He
had often thraShed clover where
fields averaged twelve bushels to
the acre. l had never known that
the first moving, the first crop, of
clover in the East would furnish
any seed, only the second crop of
the season producing seed, but this
man says the first crop in Oregon
produces more seed than the second
crop does in Illinois while the
second crop will thrash up to
twelve bushels or more. Clover is
an absolutely sure crop in Oregon.
There is no winter killing" and
the seed sown in the fall at the
beginning of the rains is sure to
terminate while h weather S
warm enough to keep it growing all
winter. In the spring it has such a
growth that the dry weather will
not prevent it's advance to per-
lection.
This man had Travelled much and
his experience was very instructive
to me. In a former letter l wrote
something about the great Callatin
valley of Montana, saying that the
vast wheat fields with wheat in
shocks seemed to me to be remark
able for the numerous shocks and
the length of straw and | expressed
my surmise that the grain fields
were probably irrigated. This
gentleman assured me that the
farmers there did not resort to ir-
rigation. He had thrashed for the
people all through the the valley
for a number of years. Said the
Callatin valley wheat would often
go fifty bushels.
Dairying is an extensive and
profitable industry in the Will
annette valley. Feed is cheaply
produced and the pastures are
green the year around.
The planting Of commercial
orchards is a rapidly growing in
dustry. Apples, pears, prunes and
peaches are grown with great
profit. There are orchards from
which the owners sell the apples
for as much as $500 an acre, pears
up to $1100 an acre and cherries
yield enormus crops. Small fruits
are largely cultivated and give
satisfactory returns. A former
resident of Minnesota says he gets
more profit from an acre and a half
of strawberries than he did from a
quarter of section of wheat land in
northern Minnesota, The Logan
berry is new item in small fruit
culture. 1t is a new creation, a
hybrid produced from the rasp-
berry and dewberry. 1t resembles
the raspberry in flavor and the dew
berry in size and vine, 1t is not a
cane but runs along the ground. In
cultivating it growers tie the vines
to wires stretched in rows on posts.
The posts are set ten or twelve
feet apart, the wires about four
feet from the ground and the vines
will run from one post to the other,
making a dense growth in a few
years. The vines yield an aston
ishing quantity of berries, The
Logan berry is not we'll suited for
shipment as ii is quite soft. Con
sequently it is sent to outside mar
kets in cans. 1t is said that the
Logan berry thrives only in a linn
tied area in the western parts of
Washington, Oregon and northern
California.
