The Citizens of River Falls
should understand that the fight
between aldermen of the various
wards of this city, is not saloon
fight; that none of the candidates
are taking any stand against
saloon rights. That it is not a
fight for the purchase of any water
power; that with the present
financial condition of the city no
power could be purchased without
a bond issue and q vote of the
citizens in favor of the same; that
all of the new candidates have
declared that if elected they will
not vote to purchase any water
power unless authorized so to do
by vote of the people. Conse-
quently citizens asked to vote
against any candidate on these
grounds may know that this is. not
the real reason the person has for
asking them to vote against the
candidate ADV.

SPECIAL WORK FOR THE GIRLS
BY Supt. N. A. Aune

| would recommend that every
school take up some form of special
work for the girls, that may be con-
sidered contest work. This work
need not be confined to any special
grades. | would suggest the three
following lines of work. One or more
of these might be attempted by
each school.
I.-SEWING: This work should
be taken up only in it's elementary
form. For material for this work
would recommend Blair's Sewing
Tablets sold by the Webb Publish
ing Co., ST. Paul; Goodwins Course
in Sewing, sold by Frank D. Beat
tvs & Co., 225 Fifth Ave, New York
City; and Patton's Home and
School Sewing. sold by Newson &
Co., New York. Some of these are
listed in the Township Library
List. You might have some of
your girls supply the two missing
stars in the flag of your school, and
perhaps they would be interested
in making a new flag,
II.-GARDEN CONTEST: This
/ would limit to a Tomato Contest
and Sweet Corn Contest. Write to
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Washington, d. c., for as many
packages of the Stone Tomato,
and Sweet Corn as you have girls
wishing to take part in the contest;
and the following u. S. Bulletins:
Nos. 218, 22O and 225 on Tomatoes.
and Nos. 414, AIS on Corn Culture.
State that you want the the seeds
for school contests.
III.-FLOWER GARDEN CON-
TEST: For seeds for this contest
| would refer you to The Children's
Flower Mission, Cleveland, Ohio,
WIZ AdHOiO penny PoShoSSo VI
seeds. If you have not already
received seed catalog from this
company, write for one Immediately.
Each school might select the flower
seeds for this contest.
If you are to attempt any of this
work, and | hope every school will
do something, it will be necessary
to proceed with it Immediately
If any fairs will be held in the
county next fall, no doubt
arrangements will be made for
exhibits by the girls.
wish every teacher will write
before the close of your school,
stating definitely what work of this
nature has been done by your
school.

You do not expect a scrub COW to
produce as much butter fat as one
bred from many generations of
heavy milk producers, so why
should you expect a scrub hen to
lay as many eggs as a pure bred
one, bred carefully for egg pro-
duction from heavy egg producing
ancestors?
AT the National Egg Laying Con.
test held at the Missouri State
Experiment Station last year it
was conclusively shown that the
Plymouth Rock leads the world as
an all year round egg producer.
My Stamina Strain of barred
Plymouth Rock are absolutely
pure bred from heavy egg produc-
ing stock.
My breeding pen this spring con-
sists of twelve mature hens of the
famous J. w. Parks, Bred-to-lay
Strain of heavy layers and two
beautiful Ringlet hens. The Parks
hens were carefully selected from a
large number of good ones not only
for their good looks but because
they were steady layers. These
fine hens are mated to a Ringlet
cockerel of perfect shape and fine
barring and just the shade to pro-
duce standard colored and barred
pullets. He and the two Ringlet
hens were recently purchased by
me from the great E. B. Thompson
of Armenia, N. Y, whose Ringlets.
as he calls them, have, for more
than thirty years, won practically
all of the first honors at all of the
prominent poultry shows in the
world.
The Parks hens were raised from
eggs bought direct from ]. w.
Parks, of Altoona, Pa, whose Bred
today Strain is famous for heavy
egg production.
Breeding stock raised from eggs
from this carefully mated and high
quality pen are bound to raise the
standard of any farm flock of
Barred Rocks not only as to eggs
but also as to appearance.
Quality considered, my price of
five dollars per fifteen is low and l
absolutely guarantee the fertility.
You cannot do better elsewhere
at twice the price. Buy your eggs
now and get early laying pullets.
All are invited TO call and see
these birds.

FREE LIBRARY in REST ROOM

The new free library, sent out
by the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, arrived and was
installed in the Women's Rest
Rooms at the City Hall yesterday.
The Library consists of one
hundred volumes of fiction and
scientific and historical literature.
Thirty-fo of the books are in the
German language. The use of the
library is free to everyone and
books may be drawn from nine
O'Clock a. m. to six O'Clock p. m.
on any week day. The set of books
now in the library will be exchanged
for an entire new set whenever
these have been exhausted by the
patrons. This new feature is sure to
be we'll received by the patons of
the rest room, and the books will
undoubtedly be in constant demand.
The Improvement League is to be
heartily commended for this addi-
ton to the Rest Rooms.
The registration at the Rest Room
shows that during the month of
February there were 625 visitors
Counting no visitor twice in the
same day., and that during the
first seven weeks of the Rest Rooms
existence it has had 1923 visitors.
Of course the great majority of
these have been from this city and
vicinity, but there haS = also Deen
many from other states-Washing-
ton, California, North and South
Dakota, Montana, Illinois and
Minnesota and many from other
cities in this state.
The rooms have a home lik e,
inviting appearance, and are we'll
provided. The large room has
many comfortable chairs, a couch,
a writing desk, a reading table,
bracket containing needles,
thread, sissors, pins, etc.. and the
free library. All of these articles,
including also several others such
as pillows, curtains, books and
magazines, with the exception of
the reading table and looking glass,
have been donated by different
citizens of this city. The cloak
room and toilet room equipment is
of modern design and includes
every convenience necessary.
The Improvement League hopes
that the general public will find the
library of service and that all who
care to will accept the cordial
invitation to the free use of the
books.

The attendance at the wrestling
match, held at the Opera House
last Tuesday evening. was very
small, owing to the bad weather,
and also owing to the fact that the
Minneapolis athletes missed their
train at Hudson and were so late in
arriving here that many who intend
ed to witness the affair decided not
to wait. The preliminary wrestling
match, between Young McCauley,
of Oshkosh, and Fred Krauth, of
this city, was won in two straight
falls by the former. The principal
match, between Bud Frisk, of
Minneapolis, and Singleman, of
Hudson. was changed from the
scheduled finish match to a hand
leap, in which Singleman agreed
to throw Frisk twice in an hour.
Singleman did not get one fall in
that period. The program closed
with an exciting six-round sparring
bout between Gould, of Hudson
and Parsons, of this city.

Two weeks ago we published the
report of the University Inspector
as to the condition of the River
Falls High School. That report
stated that the school had been
recommended for continuance on
the accredited list. Yesterday,
Prof. Ames received the printed
report of the meeting of the North
Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools showing
the high schools on the accredited
list of that association, and River
Falls is among the schools. Less

one of the one-fourth.

ExTERMINATE! THE FLY
BY n. A. Aune, County Superintendent Of
Schools, ST. croIx County, Wisconsin

Much attention has, during the
past few years, been directed to-
ward the eradication of preventable
diseases. Legislatures haye en-
acted laws, and boards of health
have issued orders, with a direct
purpose of preventing diseases that
are transmitted through disease
germs. The abolition of the pub
lie drinking c'.p, law on sanitation
and ventilation, and quarantine
laws are some of the measures that
have been put into operation with
that end in view. Too much credit
cannot be given for the efforts that
have been put forth in this noble
work; and yet, perhaps the most
dangerous agent for transmitting
disease germs, THE Common
House Fly", is permitted to carry
on its deadly work, comparatively
without restraint.
1t might seem like an impossible
task to "exter inmate the fly, but
if every individual would do his or
her share of the work it would be
an easy campaign to pursue No
doubt many are now doing every
thing possible to keep their homes
and premises free from the pests,
but there are too many, who through
ignorance of the habits of flies,
think and say never mind few
flies.
A fly is almost continuously feed
ing, gorging itself on whatever it
can find to drink. Digestion is
rapid and weak, and disease germs
pass through it uninjured. 1t also
regurgitates, vomits up, quantities
of the liquids it has swallowed. 1t
fills it's stomach from the cuspidor,
the garbage can, or the filth in the
back yard, then finding piece of
pie, first vomits the Sputum or
other filth onto the pie, and then
fills up again from the pie. No one
who will take a magnifying glass
and watch a fly feed, vomit and
speck for an hour can Willingly eat
food on which a single fly has been
seen to alight, and say never
mind few flies"
Two things necessary for COM
plete determination of the fly are to
have the cooperation of every
home and to begin the campaign
early. A pair of flies in April or
May means millions in July or
August.
A few struggling flies in home
NAV be exterminated by fly
swatter" or some form of fly paper
but a more effective means of ex'
termir alton is to have good fly
trap placed at every feeding and
breeding place for flies. Of al
rubbish and filth is removed and
destroyed there will not be many
breeding places for fies) A mum
Der of quite satisfactory screen fly
traps are on the market and can be
bought very cheaply.
would appeal especially to the
teachers, that you take mp and EN-
phasize this matter strongly in your
teaching of physiology and hygiene
of the body, Get the boys and girl:
interested and the rest will take
care of itself. If prizes were offered
in this contest, would award thu
first prize, not to the one reporting
the largest number of flies killed
but the girl or boy first reporting
mo flies" in our home, would b,
the winner Of the first prize or othe
honor of the campaign.
Let our slogan be "EXTERMIN
ATE THE fly.
