We copy the above invitation as
an item of interest to the older in
habitants Of River Falls, some of
whom will undoubtedly remember
the occasion. This place at that
time was known as Greenwood

the Greenwood House stood on the
site now occupied by Hotel Glad

Don't remove presents from the
tree until the candles are all extin-
guished.
Don't permit a draft of air to
sway the branches of the tree while
candles are lighted.
Christmas is intended to be a
time of joy and good cheer; and
hearts should not be saddened on
this sacred day by tba burning of
homes or the injury to loved one s
through carelessness, when proper
forethought and vigilance will sure
ly avoid such disasters.

of the pennant
IS based on the sale per capita, and
cities and towns are classified ac-
cording to tire population, it is felt
that Wisconsin h a an excellent
chance for national honors for com
@nunity sales as we'll as for its total
IS a state.
Reports from Wausau, Beloif,
Kenosha and Manitowoc indicate
unusually aggressive sales in these
cities, aud il is believed that they
will break the record of former
years The outlook is equally hope
tut IN other parts of the state. Due
to the special campaign made by
the bankers and bond salesman's
organization, Milwaukee expects
he largest seal sale in the history
of the state metropolis in spite of
the fact that thous ands of people
are out of work and demands on the
public are many and varied.
Theatres are taking an especially
active part in the campaign and
daily health talks are given from
practically every theatre stage in
the city. The most unique of these
theatre features will be demon
stration at the Males tic Theatre
Christmas week, when T. J. Werle
will tell city people of his motor
cycle trips to the rural districts,
giving in this connection an illus
trated lecture similarto those which
he has used in his rural work In
many of the theatres girls in nurses
costumes are selling seals.
Ellsworth, which has al ways
made an amazing per capita sale,
is determined to defeat it's own rec.
>rd this year, and among other com.
munities where the present sale
seems to warrant pennant hopes
are Fort Atkinson, Port Washing
ton, New L o n, Rhinelander,
Burlington, Edgerton, Waterloo,
Galesville and lola.
The growth of the visiting nurse
movement in Wisconsin is evidenced
by five reports that came in to the
headquarters of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association in N
day within the last week. The news
that La Crosse has a bill before the
City Council providing that school
nurse shall be made city official is
especially gratifying, while associa-
ton workers are also jubilant over
the announcement that Waukesha
De Pere, Ladysmirh and Amigo are
installing visiting nurses for peri
DDS Of varying duration. AS re-
suit of the work done by Miss Nellie
Van Kooy, sent out about a month
ago by the Wisconsin Anti Tuber4
| culosis Association as a demonstra;
| ton nurse to introduce the work in
twelve of the smaller communities
during the year, Lake Mills reSM
dents are considering the feasibilEtY
of joining with Jefferson and e1n-
ploying nurse to divide her tine
between the two places. ~

DANGERS FROM CHRISTMAS
TREES.

1t seems important at this time
to call attention to some of the da
gers of the lighted Christmas tree,
because Of the fact that so mary
homes and most of the schools
have Christmas exercises n
Christmas trees.
When the Chris mas tree is trim
med and lighted it is nothing more
or less than big torch, ready to b.
ignited The tree is always an ever
green whose twies are full of resin
1t is trimmed with festoons of It's
sue paper n d wreathes o f dry
leaves which will burn with a flash
M any of the presents are made OF
celluloid which explodes when heat
ed and burns fercely. Other pres ts
are covered with lace or embroidery
which may be ignited by spark,
and the paper Christmas bells, the
netting of which the candy bags are
made, and the dry painted wood In
the toys, are easily ignited. In the
excitement of these Christmas exer
cises children are sometimes diff
cult to control and accidents fire.
quently happen.
Last Christmas, while attending
the Christmas exercises of school
in this state, one could see beau
tifully trimmed and lighted Christ.
mas tree, with the floor underneath
the tree covered with highly inf1am-
mable cotton to represent snow
One of the exercises of the evening
was a song sung by six little girls
wearing their night dresses and
carrying lighted d ! e S, who
marched while singing round and
round this tree. What might have
happened had one of these little
girls dropped her candle or had one
| fallen from the tree, is awful to
contemplate
Cotton should never be used to
represent snow, either on or under
the tree, because the same effect
can be obtained by using mineral
wool or asbestos, which is safe
/ Care should be taken to see that
the candles are securely fastened tc
the tree and so arranged that they
cannot set fire to the branches Of
the tree or the presents hung upor
themf Always extinguish the can
dies before beginning to remove the
presents from the tree.
Last year number of fires and Z
number. of serious accidents result
ed froml not taking proper precau
tons in regard to Christmas trees
Therefore we take the liberty to ash
the newspapers of the state to aic
in the publicity of the following:
fs CHRISTMAS TREE DoN'Ts
Don't leave the lighted tree IN

Don't put cotton beneath the. tres

Don't let children touch the tree

Serene Payne's death removes
the dean Of the House, and a man
admired generally for his remark
able ability. Some time before his
death l said to him one day that it
was surprising what condensed ar
guments men could put into a five
minute speech = the limit under
House rules when amendments are
discussed. Mr.. Payne explained the
gift of Contamination possessed by
Mr.. Mann and'Ehimself by saying
that after a score of years of prac
tiee he had grown to measure the
time with exactness, SO he could
express all that was necessary in Z
few words.
