Farmers and Merchants
State Bank Of CaTpio Sold

A deal that has been pending for
some time was brought to a close
last week whereby the Farmers and
Merchants State bank was sold to
S. ]. Rasmussen and Oscar Herum
of the First National Bank of Car
pic. The Farmers and Merchants
bank was organized some five years
ago by M L. Myers and Sampson
Brothers, but as the territory here
has proved to be too small and the
business not sufficient to maintain
two institutions of this kind, the
bank was sold as above stated, and
the business of the Farmers and
Merchants bank will eventually be
taken over by the First National.
Mr.. w. o. Sampson, who has been
cashier of the Farmers and Mer
chants bank since its organization
will continue in this capacity for a
while and the two banks will con-
tinue to be in operation until such
time as the transfer can be conven-
iently brought about, when the
First National will occupy the
building now occupied by the Far
mers and Merchants bank.
The First National Bank has a
capital and surplus of $30,00000,
which means a larger banking cap
ital for Carpio and community than
most of the towns of its size in this
part of the state The First Ma
tional has been established here
since 1902 and has from its begin
ming enjoyed splendid business till
today it ranks as one of the storg-
est financial institution in Ward
and is headed by men who have
good banking ability, and the Of
fcers and directors who at present
control it have taken an important
part in the development Of Carpio
and country tributary to it, and
have always had the best interest
of the community at heart. This
policy will unqestionably be con-
tinued in the future as it has in the
past.-Carpio IN. d. Free Press.

In Memory of Charles H. Haven.

1t seems fitting that tribute
should be paid, through the Jour
nal, to the memory of the late
Charles H. Haven, whose burial
recently took place in this city.
Born in Worcester, Massachu-
sets, he came with his parents to
River Falls when a child of four
years. Here he grew to Manhood
and among the old friends was al
WAYS known as Charlie. Ener-
getic in his nature and eager to be-
gin life for himself, he went while
very young to Galesburg, Illinois,
where he passed a few years as
clerk in a clothing store, but he
soon took up the work Of a travel
ing salesman, and in that capacity,
in the service of one firm, The
Woven Down Buster Company, of
Chicago, he spent the greater part
of his life.
Between his trips he made fire.

RAY ERLANDSON WINS LOCAL
CONTEST

The blizzard of Friday evening
did not check the enthusiasm of the
Normal students in their interest in
the local oratorical contest, and
there was a large gathering of them
at the school house at seven-thirty,
to march to the Opera House, where
the contest was scheduled to be
held. Arriving at the Opera House,
which was decorated in class COL
ors, the Seniors and Sophomores
took their places in the reserved
section on the south side of the
hall, while the Juniors and Fresh
men united forces in the north
section, and until the opening
number of the program was an
nounced the class rooters kept up
continuous round of songs and
cheers for their favorite contestants.
The orations were unusually fine,
and each contestant deserves great
credit. Ray GRANDSON won first
place on his Grafton, THE Higher
Patriotism, and Miss Marie Laue
was awarded second place. Her
Grafton was entitled, THE Lost
Trail" The other orators were
Willard Irle, who spoke on THE
Disappointed Immigrant" and
Louis Manion, who had for his sub
ject, Law Enforcement"
Mr.. GRANDSON viii represent the
River Falls Normal in the State
Inter-Normal contest to be held at
Stevens Point March %. The
others who competed III the local
contest will be sent to the Inter
Normal contest as delegates.
The musical selections given with
the program were all excellently
rendered. The school orchestra,
under the direction of John E.
Howard, opened and closed the
program. Two songs, Little Boy
Blue" and a lullaby from "Er
minie," were beautifully rendered
by quartette composed of the
Misses Elya Ritchey, Anna Davis,
Ethel Luberg and Mable Megorden.
The entire program was a splen-
did success in every way, and all
who attended were greatly pleased
with every number, and are con-
WINGED that the River Falls school
is to be very ably represented at the
State contest at Stevens Point next
month.

The wrestling match, It the
Opera House Monday, drew out a
fairly large patronage, and all were
quite we'll pleased with the several
numbers on the program. Bud"
Frisk, of Minneapolis, and Young"
Pilot, who is working on the power
plant at Clifton, gave a fine exhibit
of scientific wrestling, the former
winning the match in two straight
falls. As a preliminary event Fred
Krauth and Howard Griffin, both of
this place, wrestled ten minutes,
neither being able to get the ad-
vantage of the other. During the
intermiSsions Mr.. Boothe entertain
ed with rope spinning and panto-
mine sketches. The closing num-
Der was a six-round boxing exhibit
ton between Carl Parsons, of this
city, and a light weight from Mimi
eapolis. The local pugilist showed
considerable more cleverneSs and
science than his opponent, and al
though to comply with the laws of
the land the bout was called a
draw, it was the general opinion
that Carl deserved the lions share
of the honors.

REST ROOM GAINING P0PU-
LARITY

The city hall rest room, operated
under the supervision of the Ladies
Improvement League, is gaining in
popularity and patronage every
week. The appreciation shown is
we'll illustrated by the following
remarks that were passed by recent
visitors.
One farmer said: II live nearer to
River Falls than | do to Hudson,
but I've been going there, for they
had place for the women and kids
to stay. Guess I'll come here
now"
Here are group of testimonials,
all overheard in the rest room:
It's just perfect"
How did we women ever get
along without it?"
Keep it up"
IF the women who started this
rest room know what it means,
even in my own case, they would
feel we'll repaid for all their
trouble"

town any more, it seemed as if
there was no place for me-"

PRESIDENT cRA3TREE TELLS
HOW SOME DISTRICTS FUR
NISH HOUSE

The idea of districts providing a
house and some ground for the
teacher is gaining ground through.
out the country. There are many
such schools near Walla Walla.
Washington. President Crabtree
of River Falls describes one of this
kind in Nebraska the state in which
he was state superintendent before
coming to Wisconsin. He says:
"The only district in Hall county,
Nebraska, able to retain its teach
ers for longer period than three
years is a district near the city of
Grand Island. Mrs. Theresa Sui
livan, the teacher in that district, is
provided with a good residence of
six rooms and a garden of two
acres. She has been teaching in
this district for ten years. Among
the things to be mentioned about
this school are: The beautiful
grounds and shade trees; the mod
ern heating and ventilation system
in use; the ideal adjustable desks,
the roller style of window shades,
the sand tables and little work
shop, the library of several volumes,
maps and globes and other equip
ment. The playground apparatus
consists of swings ring poles5-
teeter totter, basket and foot ball
courts, croquet and baseball equip
ment. The pupils stenciled and
made the curtains. The floor is
kept oiled and each pupil aids in
keeping it neat by brushing under
his own desk every day, The or
gan, the teachers desk, the chairs
for company are all of good quality.
This school was connecting its
work with the work of the home and
community, and it was doing
phases of domestic science and
other industrial work, long before
this recent movement for the prac-
teal was started. This is held up
as the model school of Nebraska. :"

The "WH0-SO-EVERS."

A mixed class of young and Mid
die aged people, called the who
solver" class, was formed some
three months ago in the Congre-
gational church Sunday school, for
the purpose of accommodating a
number of people who did not want
to go alone or be in the older or
younger classes of the school.
The class has grown rapidly and
is pronounced interesting" by all
who attend. There has just been a
reelection of officers and the class,
having been so successful and
helpful in the short time of its
existance that the officers and
committee are going to branch out
the coming three months with
greater energy and enthusiasm
and urge all who do not belong to
any other class or school to join
them.
Educators and scholars every
where teach that man is composed
of three parts, mental, physical and
spiritual. Great care is taken to
train the mental and physical
powers and many, particularly men,
neglect the spiritual side of their
nature entirely.
Now here is an opportunity,
gentlemen, to begin to build up the
spiritual, which, after all, is the
side of your being.
Next Sunday, at IL o'clock, go
up to the east parlor, on the main
floor of the Congregational church.
Messrs. Kuenning and Pratt, pres
ident and vice-president, will be
glad to welcome you, and Professor
Himelich, the teacher, will be there
with a lesson from the life of
Daniel that will inspire the best in
you, and give you something to
help you in business and in every
day life for the coming week.
If you don't want to come alone,
bring someone with you, man or
woman; all are welcome. whose

he was upright in his dealings and
was known as a good worker. In
his nature he was warm-hearted,
genial, generous, attached to his
friends and always ready to lend
the helping hand.
Within the last two years his

Use of recovery. To give up the
activities of life and TO submit to
long period of medical treatment in
the hope that health might return,
was a severe trial to him. For two
months he had been in Los Angeles
under the care of his physician.
His last letter was more hopeful
than usual, stating that his doctor
thought he was making some i'm
provement, and then he added
these words: II am getting very
tired of my task and wish it were
ended" A few brief days, and the
end came. He was attacked with
pneumonia and had not sufficient
strength to battle with this disease,
which resulted in heart failure on
Sunday morning, February 2.
Weary and discouraged in the long
struggle against i'll health, he had
sometimes expressed the wish that
he might lie down at night and
never awake. His going was almost
like this. There was scarcely
moments warning; swift messen-
ger brought the final summons, and
peacefully he passed TO the other
life.

OBITUARY
ALEXANDER WRIGHT

The funeral of Alexander Wright,
whose death occurred February Is,
took place last Friday afternoon at
two O'Clock at the residence in the
Fourth Ward. Rev. William ],
Gray preached a beautiful sermon
from the text 'All Things Work
Together for Good to them that
Love God" (Romans 1928 } The
remains were laid to rest in Green
wood cemetary.
Alexander Wright came of sturdy
Scosch-Irish stock. He was born
in the Townland of Craigs, near
Ballymena, County Antrim, Dec
ember 10, 1886. There he lived, on
the old homestead that had been
handed down from father to son,
until after his marriage in 1868, to
Miss Elizabeth Hardness.
Thirteen children were born to
this union, eight of whom are now
living The surviving children are
Matthew and James Wright, now of
Philadelphia, Pa; Mrs. t. R.
Mary Shimmin, Mrs, e. L Liz
zie) Saunders, Robert C. Wright
and Alex r. Wright, of Dickey
county, North Dakota; Reverend
John Wright, who is now in the
mission work in Kamerin, West
Africa, and Mrs. Samuel MAR
garrett Hardness, of Belfast, Ire
land. Mrs. Elizabeth Wright pass
ed away in 1881.
In 1885 Mr.. Wright married Miss
Mary E. Smyth. Three children
blessed this marriage: Mrs. Myron
Kimble, of ST. Paul, Mrs. VIM.
Baer, of West Bend, Wis, and Miss
Lavina Wright, who is the only one
left at home with her mother,
Others of the family are all mar
ried and have homes of their own.
Alexander Wright came to this
country in October, 1888. In Dec
ember of that year he moved to
Glendale, North Dakota. There
he ran horse and cattle ranch un-
til 1899, when he sold out to his son
Robert and came to River Falls to
be with his old friends. He was
lifelong friend of Mr.. James Boals,
and this family, with the Rays,
Davidsons, Martins, Morrows and
others, were friends and neighbors
in the Old Country, and continued
the same friendly relations here.
In his religious beliefs Mr.
Wright inherited the strong con-
victions of his forefathers, who be-
longed to the Reformed Presby-
terian (Covenanter) church and
followed the stern tenets of the
faith until he came to River Falls,
when he united with the Baptist
church.
He was endowed of a strong
character, was reserved in his man
ners and strong in his devotion to
his family and friends. In his re-
-moval from our midst it can, truly
be said, "a good man has passed
aWay."
