werld championship honors in seven

The Canning Factory Proposition

The Canning factory project is
being urgently pushed this week
and in a few days an idea may be
formed as to how it will result here.
Inquiries have been sent out re-
garding other plants of this kind,
and from replies the proposition
looks very promising. A member
of the State Fair association board
sends a very interesting report con.
corning t b e factory at Mondovi,
which is a great success. He urges
that it be made cooperative, SO that
farmer patrons will haye share in
the profits. The Mondovi plant was
owned by company of business
men alone, and farmers of that ter
ritory, OF ing its great success
were inclined to be jealous and were
somewhat dissatisfied that they were
not included in it along co operative
lines.
We understand that New Rich
mond believes it to be a worthy
proposition, and has already made
overtures t o secure j IS location
there.

Art Circle VS.. Fox Trot

Through an inadvertant Juggling
of headlines The Journal last week
labeled the newly organized dancing
class "Art Circle Dancing Club, "
and since then members of the Art
Circle have been circulating queries
which. in less cultured circles would
be launched in such terms as Where
d'y get that stuff? or What d'y
mean, Art Circle Club"
Well, all we can say is that it was
just terrible mistake, and we here
by retract the heinous libel and sin
cerely hope that as the years roll en-
time will erase the sting.
But the dancing class still flourishes
and at the second meeting, Monday
evening, the attendance was larger,
the enthusiasm higher, and several
paid up their dues.
In the club are some fifty-odd
ladies and gentlemen, a nc that
art" should be some part or parcel
of it's title is proved by the fact that
the membership list includes such
Terpsichorian artists as j. L. Was
son, DR.. Fortune, Wellesley Van
natta, Sherm. Davis, n d o h n
Knowlton, with Emil Carisch to fur
nish kindly comment and suggest
ion from the "side lines"
Well take another chance-the
name is "The As-You. Like-It Dane
ing Glass"

Has Thumb Torn Off

E. H. Currier lost the thumb of
his right hand Monday while at
tempting to adjust the starting APP
paratus of his automobile A shaft
was not operating correctly, and in
reaching about to fix it his glove
caught in the whirling mechanism
and in an instant jerked his thumb
completely off from his hand, clear
to the palm. The wound was attend
ed by Dr. Dawson, and Mr.. Currier
is recovering nicely from the shock.
Mr.. Currier has had some harrow
ing experiences with his automobiles
in the past few years. On one oc-
casion he miraculously escaped death
when his auto struck another ma
chine and almost crashed through
the railing of the Maple street
bridge, and again, some months lat
err, it turned turtle as he was back
ing it down a steep incline from the
garage, pinning him beneath it in
such a manner that had he not been
promptly discovered and released
he would have been strangled to
death in few moments.

SHOW INTEREST In
LIVE STOCK CREDIT

Credit for the purchase of improv-
ed live stock and different ways in
which farmers may avail themselves
OF it in cooperative manner is at
present one Of the major questions
in rural finance.
This is forcibly shown in a recent
statement by the secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers association:
Since the middle of October we
have had requests from 20 different
states for copies of Bulletin SO, of
the Bankers Farm series, "HoW to
Borrow Money to Buy Cattle"
Wisconsin farmers and bankers in
terested in securing better live stock
for their communities have also
shown much appreciation of this
pamphlet, written by Raymond Bak-
er, Madison, assistant secretary of
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association. 1t briefly describes sue
cessful live stock credit methods in
use by farmers near Ashland, Iron
River, Marinette, and points in other
states. The bulletin is distributed to
farmers through local banks.

ELLSWORTH TEAM
SHOWS CLASS
Coach Peterson's 1916 Quint Up to
County Seat Standard
Normal at MINI. "U" Tonight
The Real Fun Starts After the H0li-
days When Circuit Teams
Clash

In a practice game with the Nor
NAL school five Tuesday afternoon
Coach Peterson's Ellsworth high
quint demonstrated that this years
machine is quite up to the excellent
standard that has made the Hub
famous in basketball for many years.
Reed, their star basket shooter,
made most of their points, in spite
of the fact that he was seldom al
lowed to get closeup shots. Kruger
is little whirlwind, slipping away
from his guard and keeping up the
teamwork with lightning speed. Roy
Rice is a worthy successor to his
brother Howard at center. The
guarding of McAleady ands Warner
made even the veterans Bethel and
Eccler hustle to keep clear. In the
first half the honors were almost
even, but the Red & White hit their
stride at the opening Of the second
period and scored almost at will,
winning out by score of 80 to 10.
Bethel, Eccler, Eggebrecht. Morrow
and Peterson started, but toward
the end of the game several substi
tutes were put in. Vezina took a
try at it, but his knee does not APP
pear to be in any condition to war
rant hope that he will be able to con-
tinue through the season.
The Red & White quint will play
Minnesota "U" at Minneapolis to-
night. After the holidays the cir
cult schedule will open, commencing
with the game with Stout Jan. IL.
Following is River Falls complete
schedule for the remainder of the
season:
Jan. 9-Local Indoor Class Meet
Jan. 12-First and second teams of
Stout play here
Jan. 19-Minstrel Show, Athletic
Benefit
Jan. 26-Superior here

Feb. 16-Eau Claire here
Feb. 23-At Stout
Mar. 2-Stevens Point here
Mar. 7-8-9-District High School

Big Annual Road Meeting
Sixth Annual Road School of the Wis
eonsin Highway Commission to Be
Held In Capitol City

The Sixth Annual Road School of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission,
an event looked forward to by all
road builders in the state, will be
held in the state capitol at Madison
the week commencing January 20.
At this meeting all recent develop
ments in road and bridge construc-
ton, maintenance. and administra-
ton will be discussed by experts
from Wisconsin and other states. All
who are interested in any phase of
road or street construction are in
vited to attend.
Last year the registration at the
road school was over 700. 1t is ex-
pected that even this high water
mark will be exceeded this year due
to the increasing interest in the sub
ject of road Improvement.
The usual exhibit of road machin-
cry, motor trucks. and road materi-
ais will be held in connection with
the road school.
Those desiring to attend would do
we'll to make their hotel reservations
Immediately, as the hotels will be
crowded.

Local High SWamps Hammond

The Hammond high school basket
ball quint fell easy victim to Coach
Kuranz's tribe here last Friday night,
the final tally being IS to Is. In the
first half honors were about even,
but with the score 81 at the opening
of the second period the locals came
back with a dazzling exhibition of
team work that completely baffied
their opponents and made the re-
mainder of the game almost too one
sided to sustain the interest Of the
fans.
The River Falls players are: Pet
erson, captain, and Smith, guards;
Chinook. center; Nichols, Quinn,
George and Snodgrass, forwards.
Their next game is with Galahad
here soon after the holidays.

Secretary of the Treasury, Nc
Ado, has furnished Congress with an
estimate of the treasury situation on
June 30th, 1918, with the prospect
i've result of a deficit reaching ap-
proximately $185, 100000, at that
time. With that prospect in view it
is hard to understand how Congress
approves wasteful and extravagant
bills. Naturally difference of
opinion may occur on some bills but
on others, the waste cannot be de-
Tended. Thus far during the ses
sion appropriation bills have held the
right of way.
