SHOTS BREAK SABBATH QUIET
Exciting Chase Follows Hotel Theft
Discovery

Soon after dinner last Sunday it
was discovered that a number OF
articles Of more or less value had
been Gifted" from several of the
rooms Of the City Hotel, and sus-
picion was attached to two young
men who had stayed there the
NIGHT before. Chief Ramberg was
notified and the young men were
located in hiding near the depot,
where they had evidently gone to
catch the train. They complied
with the officers demand to march
ahead Of him up the street, but,
after a block or two they made
D dash for liberty, each taking
different direction. One was soon
caught but the other refused to
stop. even when the command was
given to the accompaniment of
spatter Of revolver shots, and he
reached a place of hiding out in
the woods about two miles north
o. the city before he finally gave
himself up. after learning that his
partner had been captured. There
we're fifteen or twenty men in the
chase before it ended.
IN court Monday morning they
gave their names as Edwin and
George Deneen, and said that they
lived on a farm near New Rich
mond. They pleaded guilty and
Justice Sanderson gave them their
choice Of $50 and $25 fine or 90 and
80 days in jail, respectively. At
ter couple Of hours spent IN
a futile attempt to raise the 80
25, they left in an auto with Chief
Ramberg and Deputy Sheriff for
the county bastile at Ellsworth to
serve out their 5000. They were
between "a and % years of age.

INTER-N0RMAL DEBATE

Since the great war broke out
the decisive situation Of this
country has been a question of
the Invest interest. We are told
ON the one hand that the country
is so poorly prepared for war that
it awaits only a determined attack
to reduce it to the condition of
Belgium. On the other hand we
are told that our defenses were
never in better condition. What
is the truth?
This question will be debated
on Friday evening, May IA, at the
Normal school auditorium, by
teams representing Superior an d
River Falls Normal schools. The
boys have worked hard and have
made a fine showing in a practice
debate on Tuesday evening. Riv-
er Falls will defend our present
system of defense, while Super
Tor will argue for ornaments on
a larger scale. Come and salts
fly yourself on this great question.
The debaters representing Riv-
er Falls are Lynn White, Earl Fos-
ter and Walter Rummel.

GIRLS GLEE CLUB CONCERT

The Girls Glee Club of the Nor
NAL school. under the direction of
Miss Willett made their first pub
lie appearance in the presentation
of the operetta. "Hiawatha's Child
hood" at the Normal auditorium
Thursday evening, April 20. The
music, based on motives derived
from Indian melodies, was written
by Mrs. Bessie Whitley, and was
awarded the prize of a thousand
dollars by the National Federation
of Music Clubs Competition in 1912
1t is a charming little operetta in
one act, and we'll worth the time
given to the study of it, which
was necessary for the credita BILE
presentation given by the Glee
Club.
The stage. was beautifully set
to represent a forest, with wig
wan in the foreground. and a few
men and women in Indian costume
seated about. COlOred lights were
used to good effect and suitable
costumes added much to the spec
tacular effect. The characters
were taken by children of the Mod
ell school. Allen Walker, fro m
Miss .Armstrong's room made pic
turesque "Little Hiawatha."
The dancers under the direction
Of Miss Schlager, were an inter
estirg and beautiful feature of the
entertainment. "The Indian War
Dance" "The Dance of the Fire
flies" and the "Phantom Dance"
deserve especial mention, and were
greatly enjoyed.
y delightful addition to the reg
ular program was given in tn e
form Of a prelude. The Glee
Club dressed in Indian costume,
and grouped effectively, facing the
sun "a group of yellow lights)
sang the Indian version of the
beautiful song. "The Sunrise Call :"
which is the song of the Sun WOr-
shippers. The echo was sung at
distance by Miss Willett. 1t was
received with enthusiasm by the
audience.
The Girls Glee Club has an un-
usual number of good voices this
year, there being about forty-five
members. The excellent render
ing of the difficult music of this
operetta. is the evidence of hard
work and careful training and they
reflect credit upon the part of their
director, Miss Willett. They are
to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of their first public venture
and it is hoped that their appear
ance will become more usual
event.

Miss Edith Tubs, who is at

of the Chicago School of
Physical Training, writes most in
teresting letters &c her sister Camp
Fire Girls in River Falls. Last
Friday she atteneed the Third An
nual Conference of the Middle West
Society of Physical Education and
Hygiene at the Chicago University.
She saw wonderful gymnastic DEM
onstrations and heard splendid
talks from the leading physical di.
rectors in the Middle West. At this
meeting she met Miss Jeffry, who
was physical director at the River
Falls Normal three years ago. Miss
Jeffry sends her best wishes to her
former students and friends in
River Falls.
Last Thursday the Mems Glee
Club gave concert in the Fire
mems Opera Hall in Ellswcrt
The concert was very we'll attended
and the boys were enchored again
and again. Mr.. Howard assisted
the Glee Club with a few we'll Sc
lected selections. The closest at
tention was given to all numbers.
The club wishes to state their ap-
probation Of the reception which
the people gave them. Besides the
Normal car, five other town cars
were appropriated to convey the
boys to Ellsworth. Lucien Kinney,
Eden Finn and Lloyd Peterson
procured bicycles and left about
five o'clock. They feared that with
out their presence the concert
would be failure. When asked
about the trip, Mr.. Kinney stated
that except for l2H miles, the
roads were in very plausible con-
dition. Except for the reprehens-
sible practice of Eden Finn in
breaking down every half mile, and
Lloyd Peterson's deplorable habit
of getting off to settle a difference
of opinion with every dog he met,
We had very pleasant ride" The
schedule is as follows: May 9Th at
Prescott; May IS at Roberts, and
May Goth at Hudson.

CAMP FIRE CONFERENCE

Since May, 1914. the local Camp
Fire Girls have been watching the
Developments of t h Camp Fire
Girls conference very eagerly, and
hoping that some member Of DR..
Gulick's family might come to con-
duct the series of meetings here.
Under the auspices of the State
Normal School, the Camp Fires
from the high school, the two
Camp Fires from the Normal, this
conference will be conducted un-
der the personal supervision Of the
two greatest experts of Camp Fire
work in the U. S., namely NJ is
Margaret Bradshaw, the National
Secretary, and DIR. Luther Halsey
Gulick. President of the Camp
Fire Girls of America.
Miss Bradshaw will conduct the
practical Camp Fire activities for
all active guardians and prospec-
tive guardians. This will prove
especially beneficial to many Of
our Senior girls who have not been
in a Camp Fire group during any
of the past three years and who
will be called upon to organize a
group next year in the community
in which they will teach.
The Camp Fire Girls work is
developing rapidly. Many girls
are eparing for leadership.
Guardians realize the need of train
ing. 1T is for this reason that
the River Falls Camp Fire Confer
ence has been organized. We want |
to be more efficient guardians for
our communities for the State of
Wisconsin, and for our country.
DR.. Luther Halsey Gulick, who
now holds a chair in the Russell
Sage Foundation in New York City
is known throughout the United
States as the Father of Physical
Training in America. Before COM
ing to the Russell Sage Foundat-
ion he held the position Of Di-
rector of Physical Training in the
New York City Public school sys-
tenn. at which time he organized
SO successfully the Public School
Athletic League of that city, that
it has become the model for all
the large cities in America.
DR.. Gulick is the author of the
efficient Life "Healthful Art of
Dancing" Emergencies "a series
on "Health and Hygiene" besides
a large number of books on phys
zeal education and it's relation to
our schools.
Four years ago DR.. and Mrs. Gu
lick laid the foundation of the or
ganization of which he has been
the president-The Camp Fire Girls
of America
The Camp Fire Girls organiza-
ton started in the summer of 1911
with one camp at Lake SebagO,
Maine; now there are over $4,000
girls with 5000 guardians, repre-
senting every state and territory
in the Union.
River Falls is indeed happy and
fortunate to secure such nat
iOnal character as DR.. Gulick to
conduct work of this kind here.
We want all who may be interest
ed to hear him.
This is the first Camp Fire Girls
Conference in the Northwest.
Thus far those at Ames, Ia, Lake
Sebago. Me-. and one or two 9TH
ers have been the only ones con-
Quoted under the personal super
vision of DR.. Gulick.
There are IFS nationalized Camp
Fires in Wisconsin and Guardians
from Chicago, Milwaukee, Sparta
and other places have already sig
nified their intention to be present
at the River Falls Conference May
26. 1915.
A detailed program Of the Con-
ference will appear in next weeks

WINTER VACATION THE BEST
Writer Puts Forth Strong Arguments
IN Favor OF Rest During the
Cold Months.

Writing of the effect of weather
and climate upon work. in Harper's
Magazine. Ellsworth Huntington
brings out some interesting facts in
regard to vacations.
owe have an idea that people need
vacations in summer, but apparently
the need is much greater in Janu-
airy and February. OF course there
are strong arguments for taking va
cations in summer, since that is the
time when it is pleasant to be out
of doors, whereas during the winter
the majority of people have no
means of enjoying themselves. In
spite Of this the work Of our opera
tives suggests strongly that in the
management of factories it is emf
nently wise that work should be
light during the winter months. Al
ready It is a custom in many places
to slow down during January. and
now we see that there are strong
physical reasons for doing this. II
the operatives of a factory. or
people engaged in any kind of work,
are to be speeded up, the time to do
it is when nature lends her aid. To
speed up in February is analogous to
whipping tired horse and expect
ing him to win a race. Later in
the year, however, during the spring,
and especially during May and June.
people may be pushed to the limit
and will not suffer, because their en-
ergies are naturally increasing. This
is still more the case in October and
early November. After the middle
of November pressure may produce
important results, as we see at
Christmas. Nevertheless, the chances
are that if the pressure is continued
straight through the winter it ex-
hausts people to an undue degree.
1t may be that a considerable part of
the nervousness Of Americans is due
to the fact that, although we relax
during the summer, even in years
when we do not greatly need it, we
keep ourselves at high pressure right
through the winter, when the need
of relaxation is much greater"

THE FUTURE TO RUSSIA.

Whatever may happen to the other
nations whose swords are crossed in
the great conflict that is now wag-
ing, no one expects that the destiny
of the colossus of the north will be
seriousl " interfered with. France
may be overrun or similar fate
may Oyertake Germany; Austria
may disappear from the map or the
British empire may be broken up;
but between Russia and any great
harm still lie those impenetrable
spaces where the armies of Napoleon
lie buried-those armies that Eu-
rope has not forgotten. When the
swords that are now clashing are put
up and the game is over, Germany
and Austria or England and France
may divide the present, but the flu
ture belongs TO Russia.-CeRtury.

RAT KILLING IN MANILA.

Doctor Heisen says Manila, in
1900 to 1905, paid $4,000 in rat
bounties and S325,000 in other rat
catching expense, without decreasing
the number of rats.
The way they succeeded in getting
rid of bubonie plague was to catch
a few rats in each part of town, ex-
anime them for bubonic plague-a
rat sampling process, if you please
and then draw circles around the
places where plague-infected rats
were found. They then began rat
determination and rat PROBING at
the periphery and worked toward
the middle.

Comparisons Of Alaska and Finland
Show What May Be Expected
IN the Yukon.

Once American unfamiliarity with
Finland would have impaired the
force of Governor Strong's compare
son Of Alaska with that country, and
of the conclusion in his annual re-
port that everything done in Fin
land in population wealth, material
development is possible in
Alaska on a much larger SCALE" the
New York Evening Post remarks.
|The prominence Finland has gained
from political troubles and the war
should now give the comparison
point. With climate very like that
Of Alaska, and with one-fourth of
Alasks's area, Finland supports
2,750,000 people; she has over
100000 head of live stock; she
produced annually some 900, o0s
tons of grains and legumes. This
development is in part a result of
good roads, of which she has nearly
10000 miles, and of her railways,
aggregating nearly $500 miles. It
is also partly traceable, though Gov
ernor Strong does not mention this,
to a huge canal system impossible of
duplication in Alaska, and to the
fact that Helsingfors and the central
part of lower Finland are less than
300 miles by rail from st. Peters
burg. On the other hand, mineral
and fishing opportunities in Alaska
and the area of available farming
land are much greater The new
government railway and the wagon
roads building in Yukon and British
Columbia should also diminish one
severe handicap as compared with
the older country. One fact in sup
port of Governor Strong's COMPARE
son is the statement that Alaska now
has nearly $4,000 reindeer.
