In order for the local postofice to
comply with the new ruling regard
ing the eight-hour limit for postal
clerks working day it was neces-
sary to secure an additional clerk.
The reason for this is the early
morning and late evening train
service, which keeps the postoffice
open from seven a. m. until eight p.
m Miss Gertrude Browell has been
secured for the position, Miss
Mary Levings is working in the
postofice after her school hours,

The Ellsworth and Prescott high
school basketball teams played at
the Normal Gymnasium Saturday
afternoon to decide which team
would play the Menomonie high
school for the honor of represent
ing this district in the state high
school basketball meet to be held
at Appleton. Ellsworth won out
by the close margin of Fl to 16. 1t
was an excellently played game
from the start to the finish. At the
end of the first half the score was a
10 to 10 tie. The Ellsworth team
work was the best that has been
seen on the local floor this season.
Both teams were little off in bas-
ket throwing, Ellsworth especially
missing great many rather easy
chances.
A few young men of the Menom-
onie high school basketball squad
came over from Hudson, where
they had played Friday evening, to
witness h Ellsworth Prescott
game at the Normal Saturday after
noon. In returning to Hudson in a
livery rig that evening. during the
blizzard, their horses ran away,
upsetting the cutter and throwing
them out. The horses return ed to
River Falls, and the young men had
to walk the remaining half mile
into Hudson. John Weiser, who
was driving, walked into Huds on
with the boys and returned on the
Sunday train. None of the occu-
pants of the sleigh were injured at
all, but the sleigh and harness were
quite badly damaged.

The Oregon Agricultural College
has force of experts engaged in
studying the habits of the enemies
of plants-"crop pests" Every
edible plant and fruit seem to have
it's enemies and it is estimated that
the agriculturists of Oregon suffer
loss of $4,000, 900 annually from
the ravages of these pests. The
legislature appropriates $4,000
year for investigation that is ex-
pected to give such information as
will largely prevent this great an
nual loss to the people. The work
of the agricultural colleges of the
country is eminently practical, of
incalculable benefit to the people
in the aggregate.

BEST CALF DEHORNER
IS CAUSTIC POTASH

Instead of dehorning calves by
the painful method of saving or
clipping, caustic potash should be
applied as soon as the button like"
horns can be felt, after the calf is
three days old. There is no dan
ger that the calves will suffer from
blood poisoning or other infection
of the wound. The College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wiscon-
sin has use this treatment for the
past few years with great success.
The application of the caustic
potash should not be postponed, or
it may give unsatisfactory results.
To apply the potash, the hair is re-
moved from about the horns close
to the skin. The potash is moist
ened slightly and rubbed over the
skin which covers the point of the
horns, unit il the skin is white.
1t is not necessary to rub the skin
until the blood comes as this will
cause unnecessary soreness. One
such treatment is usually sufficient
to prevent the growth of the horns
The following precautions should
be taken: The caustic should be
wrapped in heavy paper to protect
the hands of the operator. Il
should not be moistened too much
or else the liquid will run down the
side of the calf's head and cause
unnecessary pain. The calf must
be securely fastened so that the
head may be held still to avoid APP
plying the caustic anywhere except
over the horns. One stick of eau
site potash, if preserved in a tight,
ly corked bottle, will serve to de-
horn many calves.

being the largest creamery in the
world. The cash receipts for the
Baldwin creamery were $3.50, $50 80
against 1929, 1892 60 for the Barron
creamery, and they received about
$1,000 pounds more cream than we
did at Barron. But if you will no.
tice Baldwin is in North Wisconsin
and in the Tenth congressional dis
trict, and it is really just little
ueighborly tussle to see who is on
top. We expect that the Barron
county dairymen will set pace this
year that will put them at the head
of the list again. We would like to
call attention to the fact that Clear
Lake, also in the Tenth district,
holds strong third place in this
creamery race, the receipts at this
place amounting to about $3.50, 900.

PRESIDENT CRABTREE'S LET
TER TO r. r. N. S. ALUMNI

| am pleased to give the follow
ing information to each of the grad
yates of the River Falls State Nor
NAL School:
Cd The greatly increased at
tendance has forced the regents to
rent another residence for school
use, and to employ an additional
teacher, who began work recently.
The following positions have been
added since last June: Teacher of
agriculture, teacher of physical
training, superintendent of prac-
tice, assistant in manual training
and science
CD An option has been taken on
the Burnett forty acres south of the
campus, the land to be used as a
demonstration farm for the new
school of agriculture. The new
school has an attendance of over
fifty and the practical work of the
| department has attracted state wide
attention.
(3) The new school organiza-
tions are: The Agrifallian Club for
the school of agriculture; the Boys
Glee Club; the Normal School Band;
the G o. P, meaning the Girls on
Promotion; the Student Council,
and the Camp Fire Girls Society,
being organized at the present
time. 80
"a The school spirit could
hardly be better, enthusiasm over
athletics and debating, cheerfully
performing the daily tasks, few if
J any indiscretions among the girls,
practically no smoking at all among
the boys, great respect for members
of the faculty, and genuine con-
idence in the school.
60 President and Mrs. Parker
write often and never fail to express
interest in the welfare not only of
the school but in the welfare of
everyone of it's graduates. You
could reach them by addressing
your letter to Mr.. w. D. Parker,
Pasadena, California.
(6) An increase of from $50 to
$500 in salaries of members of the
faculty took effect last September.
A similar increase will likely
take effect next September. Our
allowance for operation and all
other expenses for the second
semester last year was $21, 675,
whereas for the present semester
our allowance is $27,446 1t now
looks as if our 100000 for a new
building may be increased to $780,
900 because of the unexpected in
crease in attendance.
(7) Professor ]. H. Ames of the
department of History and Prof. r.
w. Himelick, Superintendent OF
Practice, will have charge of the
appointment bureau. They are
arranging to extend help to grad
yates whose success as teachers
entitle them to better paying po-
sitions. If it pays the state to
educate men and women for efficient
service it certainly pays to place
them where they may render the
most efficient service. 1t will be a
favor TO the present graduating
class and to those who have finish
ed the work of the school in earlier
classes if each graduate who knows
of desirable vacancy will kindly
report the same to this appoint
ment committee.
(S) Our slogan last year, "a
new student for every alumnus"
had its part in increasing our at
tendance Let US continue this
same effort for the coming year.
We are likely to pass the 400 mark
this year. There is no harm in set
ting the mark at $50 or even 500 for
next wear.
Very sincerely yours,
J. w. CRABTREE.
