IMPORTANT NOTICE

The attention of all voters is
directed to the two constitution
al amendments which will appear
on the ballot to be voted on at
the coming November election re-
lating to the question of the state
embarking in the business of in
surance. By these amendments it
is proposed to remove all limita-
tions and restrictions provided for
in our state constitution, SO that
the legislature may provide for
compulsory state insurance.
The recent report of the Wiscon-
sin legislative insurance investiga-
ting committee, after an extend
ed investigation asting two
years reported that voluntary
insurance by the state could not
succeed, and the only other alter
native was statewide compulsory
insurance upon every property
. yner, the premium for the insur-
ance to be collected with other
taxes.
This would mean the creation of
another Commission or Board, and
the employment of hundreds of
state employees at the expense of
the state. Also the loss to t h e
state annually of nearly million
dollars, which is now paid in tax
es and fees by various insurance
companies.
The Mutual Fire Insurance COM
panies in this state are now con-
Quoted at actual cost and SO econ
omically that the state could
not hope to compete with the
rates which they are giving it's
citizens. 1T is even doubtful if
they could furnish insurance as
economical as stock companies.
1t is of vital Importance that
every tax payer should vote mo-
on both of these two proposed
amendments. Do not overlook
this important matter when cast
ing your ballot at the November
election.

MUST scRlMP ON LIGHTS

Beginning the first of next week
and continuing perhaps through
out the week, River Falls must be
very economical in the use of it's
electric light and power, or be
without it all together.
The dam for the upper power
plant is being raised. and the job
will take about a week. The plant
will be shut down Sunday. Dur
ing next week the "load" will be
carried by the lower plant, a n d
this has not enough power to sup
ply the needed amount of cleo
tricity to run all the house lights,
to say nothing of the arc lamps
and the motors
Therefore, to get service of any
kind, the patrons are urged to use
just as little current as possible
during the few hours the plant is
to be in operation. Scrimp on the
use of lights wherever you can,
and don't turn on any motor or
the whole thing will have to be
shut down.
The lower plant will be run from
sunset until about eleven o'clock,
and there will be no daylight SER
vice at all, and no arc lights.
The new kerosene pump at the
station on N. Main street comes in
mighty handy at this time as
there will be no need to cut off
the water service-this engine will
keep the reservoir supplied as us
ual.
REMEMBER, this warning in re-
gard to the use of electricity dur
ing next week is serious one.
and it must be conscientiously at
tended to or the results will be
disasterous to the service. Don't
turn on one single light unneces-
sarily, and by all means keep the
motors turned off next week.
Work on the dam will be rushed
as much as possible. 1t is a big
job but if the patrons heed this
warning and do not cause any .ex-
ira trouble by keeping the force
in hot water through overlooking
the smaller power plant, it will
be finished up by the end of next
week.

HASTINGS SHOWED UNDER

Coach Guetzloe's gridiron war
riors did some record scoring at
Hastings last Saturday, defeating
the high school eleven Of that city
by the lop-sided tally of 88 to O..
This is the highest score ever
made by a team from the local
school, the next highest being a
score of rs, also made against the
I astings high school in 1908.
Hastings was compl etely OUT
classed in every department of the
game. Not once was the ball in
her possession inside of River Falls
5O-yd. line, and only once did the
home team make first down.
River Falls made her first score
after four minutes of play, Nelson
tearing straight through the line
for a clear run to the goal line.
The second score came in the last
minute of the first quarter. In
the second quarter, the Falls made
two of the quickest touchdowns
on record. On the opening play
OF this round Wigen skirted tn e
end for 75-yd. run to the goal,
and on the kickoff after this score
Nelson caught the ball and ran
through the entire field for an
other touchdown, the total time
for both scores being 20 seconds.
AT the end of the first half River
Falls had "a, while the locals had
barely touched toe ball.
In the third quarter the Falls
ran wild, making "a more. They
were pretty well tagged out in
the fourth and added but twenty
to their score, making the final
tally 88 to 0.
Nordby made touchdowns. Mel
son, Moline and Morrow, 2 each.
and Wigen /. Nordby kicked ten
out of a possible twelve goals.
The River Falls lineup was as
follows: Wigen re; Rock. TT; Sew
erson, rg; Beebe, G; Hunter, lg;
Elliott, 1t; Smith, lie; Nelson, rh;

NORMAL WINS, 40 TO 0

The local Normal won it's sec
md victory towards the champ
ionship Friday afternoon by de-
seating Stevens Point 40 to 0.
Rain Threatened TO cause post
ponment, but even on the slippery
field the locals showed flashes of
speed. The local teams line held
strong at all times, while Brown,
Keith, Richards, Miller and Shuttle
went through Stevens Points line
almost at will. End runs and line
5mashes worked the best. The
forward pass worked a couple or
three times for the Falls, but was
not used often by either team,
the ball being too slippery. The
Point, unable to advance the ball
usually punted as soon as it was
in her possession.
During the first quarter River
Falls made two touchdowns. The
first was made by Brown, Keith
kicking goal. The second was the
result of a successful forward pass
to Nelson who ran SO yards to the
goal. Keith again kicke goal.
Both scores were made in seven
minutes.
At the beginning Of the second
quarter Brown and Nelson carried
the ball to the twenty-yard line.
