A SPLENDID FAREWELL
RECEPTION

The reception, held at the Nor
NAL school gymnasium Tuesday
evening in honor of Professor and
Mrs. ]. H. Ames, who leave in a
few days for their new home in Eau
Claire, was a splendid testimonial
to the love and esteem in VIII ich this
worthy couple are held by the fac
ulty and student body of the school
and the citizens of River F ais.
There were about four hundred
guests present. In the receiving
line were President and Mrs. ]. w.

Clark, Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Spence,
Miss Alice Shultes, Professor and
Mrs Lloyd Goble and Professor and

several cattle in the winter. A
ballet dancer who has been engaged
as premiere danseuse cannot be
compelled to take an inferior posi-
tion in the ballot, nor is lady's
maid expected to milk COWS. But
the masters requirements must be
clearly beyond the scope of the ser
wants employment to justify re-
fusal. Thus a man hired for gen
eral work on farm is not justified
in abandoning his employment be-
cause he is set to cutting flax with
a machine and thinks this too hard
work, nor because he is required to
carry bricks.
The hours at which a servant is
required to work are not infrequent-
ly fixed by the terms Of the agree
ment between employer and emplo~
pee. The length of a working day
may also be prescribed by law. 1t
may be understood from the nature
of the employment, but servant
cannot be required to work at un.
reasonable times, nor for periods,
which considering all the circum-
stances, are excessive.
AS to holidays the laws of the
state control. Other days off may
be recognized and understood by
custom or stated in the contract.
Sunday is usually legal holiday,
or understood as holiday, yet it
may not be in exceptional callings
as those of seaman or railroad en-
ployee.
Sickness or other urgent necessi-
ty is recognized excuse for an en-
ployee's failure to work during Pc
RODS of required labor. BIT a SER
want who absents himself from work
contrary TO the instructions of his
employer, for no good cause is
guilty of breach of duty and may
be dismissed.

The postofice department sends
out a general appeal to all patrons
to send their Christmas mail as
much before that date as possible
to insure prompt delivery. During
the week before Christmas the

ployees must work great deal
overtime, and even then cannot
handle it all on schedule. To have
your Christmas mail delivered
promptly and to insure no mistakes,
send it as early as possible, mark
ing it with the label, DO Not Open

CHAS. A. PAYNE
70 LECTURE HERE DEC. 3

The next number on the Peoples
Lecture Course, an illustrated lee
ture upon the subject, 'The Pana-
ma Canal" to be delivered by Chas
A. Payne in the M. E. church next
Wednes day evening, December 8,
promises to be the most popular
one of the season. Three features
enter into making this lecture of
especial worth-Mr. Payne, who is
from the Wisconsin University
Extension Department, and who is
lecturer Of exceptional talent,
takes for his subject a topic which
is especially appropriate at this
time, just at the moment of the
completion Of "the worlds biggest
job" the Panama Canal: he knows
his subject, having just returned
home from Panama, and his slides
are from photographs taken with
the idea of being most servicable
in illustrating the most important
and most interesting details of his
subject.
Some idea of the esteem in which
Mr.. Payne is held by those who
know him best is shown in the fact
that the school board of his own
city, Milwaukee, has had him on
their school lecture course for the
past five consecutive years. He has
returned twelve times to the Peoples
church, Chicago, ten times to the
Peoples church, St. Paul, and
fourteen times to the Y. M. C. A.
lecture course in Milwaukee, and
his every appearance has drawn
immense audiences.
Mr.. Payne's lecture will be con-
siderable different from any other
lecture of this years course, the
others being either political or
purely literary, while Mr.. Payne
topic will throw light on the largest
thing in the everyday news of the
present.

of Jerseys on his farm about IN
miles north of the city.
j. S. Wadsworth, treasurer of the
Normal Day Picnic celebration of
August IS, sends in the following
report Of the financial side of that
affair. The amount collected, by
solicitation among the citizens of
the city, was $4,000. The expenses
of the day amounted TO $3.50 81,
leaving balance in the treasury of
$16.49. No plans have been made
as yet for the disposal Of the bal
ance.
A great majority of the Twin City
travelling men who visited this city
in the past few days, bought their
Thanksgiving turkeys from the To-
cal markets. Although the price
is about the same, zoe per pound,
the superior grade of these turks"
according to the estimation of the
knights of the grip, more than re-
pays them for their extra trouble of
taking them home. Some former
River Falls people, now living in
the Twin Cities, telephoned their
orders for Thanksgiving turkeys to
the local markets.

After the moving picture theatres
of Hudson were notified to discon-
tinue their Sunday performances
one of them continued for a couple
of Sundays, charging no addmis-
sion but taking up a collection,
thinking in that way to evade the
Sunday closing law. A decision by
Atty. Gen. Walter c. Owen declares
this method as illegal. The Star
Observer relates that the collection
box at the two performances men,
toned was found to be aim ost COM
pletely filled with buttons, cigar
checks and tobacco tags, and that
the proceedes did not meet the ex-
pense of operation.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS OF CITY

On next Sunday afternoon the
City of River Falls will be the
scene of much religious activity.
Workers will go from house to
house making a religious census of
the community. In this task the
Methodist, Congregational, Swedish
Mission and Baptist churches have
united. About fifty workers have
volunteered for this census and the
entire city is to be covered. The
work will be done between the hours
of and p. m. and all citizens are
asked to be at home during that
time that the census takers may

greater glory of God.
