High School in Final Game

The local high school football team
will close its 1916 season in game
with the North st. Paul high, to be
played here next Saturday after
noon. N. St. Paul averages up we'll
with the Twin City high school teams
and Saturdays game should be a
dandy to watch. Turn out and give
the boys a good send-off. They are
a deserving little crew, for they have
more than made good in upholding
the football record Of the school, and
their clean gentlemanly playing has
reflected great credit on the school
and the city. Their efforts have been
considerably eclipsed in football
fame because of the attention which
the local normal schools team of
state championship aspirants has
drawn, but had they been alone here
the interest shown would have been
the same as that accorded the larger
school. We believe, had their sched-
ule included more Wisconsin high
schools, that they would now be con-
tenders for the state title.
New Richmond high expects to get
into the race in this section, and
they have a good team there, as US
ual. An attempt was made. through
a local business man, to get River
Falls and New Richmond to reopen
athletic negotiations and to have a
game this fall, but Supt. Neverman
evidently feels that a defeat of his
team by the locals was too much of
a probability to risk, for he refused
to consider it.

fiChicken Case" to Circuit
Court

The election room of the City
Hall, and, in fact all the available
space in that vicinity, even out into
the alley and street, was crowded
Monday afternoon with people who
had gathered to hear the famous
chicken case" District Attorney
w. G. Haddow was out from Ellis
worth to attend to the states side,
while Atty. F. M. White is retained
by the defendant. The hearing was
held about $3.50 and the room had
been crowded for an hour or more.
After a short consultation it was
decided to waive examination and
the trial will be held before the Cir
cult Court which convenes at Ellis
worth Dec. 4.
Mr.. Volenski claims that on Hal
lowe'en a party of four men raided
his chicken coops and that he lost sc
out of over 100 fowls. He heard
them on his premises. he says, and,
with his son Robert went out armed
to investigate. Firing his shot gun
started the invaders on a scramble
to safety, all but one making a get
away in an auto that was waiting in
the road nearby. The one he claims
to have recognized and talked with
for fifteen minutes. The defend
ant in the case has plead mot
guilty" and it said that he is able to
prove that they must have been mis-
taken. No hint as to the identity of
the others in the party was made at
the hearing. John inertia acted as
interpreter for Mr.. Volenski in. de-
scribing the affair.

River Falls FavOrS
Wilson for President
Republican State and County
Candidates Win

The city vote was consider ably
below that polled at the municipal
election last Spring. but the total
Of Ats is considered as a pretty
fair turn out. The Democratic
national ticket had a slight lead in
"straights," the totals being 225
to 220. The first ward gave each
ticket 20 votes each, while the count
in the Pierce county section was 200
to 205. The Prohibitionists receiv-
ed Is and the Socialists 4 presi-
Dental votes.
On state and county tickets this
city favored the Republicans by a
comfortable majority. In the four
wards the Governor defeated Burt
Williams 235 to 1853, while Dithmar,
Hull, johnson, Owen, LaFollette
and Frear had even greater major
critics over their Democratic rivals.
Thelaw firm Of White and Skogmo
split the city votes 1913 to I'll resp
ective!y.
In the Pierce county wards Chas.
Hanson was the citys' choice for
assemblyman. 203 to 156 for Monty
Sanderson. District Attorney poll
ed the largest local vote on his
ticket. A dozen or more from here
scratched the Republican candidate
for sheriff in favor of Samuel Car
risch, Prohibition candidate.
The first ward gave the ST Croix
county Republican candidates a
good margin in their total vote.
NOTES
Pierce county gave a small ma
jority to Hughes. and also favored
all of the Republican candidates on
state and county tickets. La Fol-
lette. with majority of over 1900,
led the race.
Senator Skogmo was reelected to
the Senate from this district.
In ST. Croix county all of the Re-
publican candidates were elected to
county office.
The result of the presidential
election is still in doubt, and it may
take two or three days to ascertain
the final result. Both sides express
confidence in victory.

Mayors Name Dele
gates to Convention
Held In Milwaukee Nov. 24.25

MAYORS in Wisconsin cities are man
ifesting their interest in the general
nublic health movement, to which
communities, organizati ons, an d
individuals are giving increasing at
tention each year, by the appoint
ment of delegates to the annual
meeting of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association, which will be
held in Milwaukee Friday and Satur-
day, Nov. oath and 25th. Practical
ly every municipality in the state
will be officially represented in the
delegation which will meet in Mil
waukee to discuss more intensive
campaign against tuberculosis and
all preventable disease and an extern
sion of the organized forces, such as
open air schools, community nurses,
and health measures which are as
important to the general physical
welfare of the community as they
are to it's protection against specific
disease foes, such as tuberculosis.
The action Of the various cities in
appointing delegates to the meeting
is especially fitting in view OF the
fact that the organization of the
state association eight years ago was
the fulfllment of promise made to
the various Wisconsin cities which
involuntarily raised the funds for
sending the first state tuberculosis
exhibit to the international Congress
on tuberculosis in Washington and
which asked in return that state
campaign against the disease be or
ganized. Since that time the scope
of the state association has steadily
enlarged until it is now a general
public health organization, specialize
ing in infant welfare, school health
and sanitation, community nursing.
and other lines of activity by which
the economic COSC anu CHO ooAAO"
caused by preventable disease and
death may be cut down and which
are closely allied with the campaign
against tuberculosis.
In connection with the annual
meeting, the general sessions of
which will be held on Friday, there
will be special conferences for public
health nurses, for visiting nurse as
sociations and club women interest
ed in promoting the visiting nurse
movement, for sanatorium superin-
tendents and trustees, and for medi-
cal men on the diagnosis and treat
ment of tuberculosis.

Buy "A Firemen's Ball Ticket

Representatives of the River Falls
Volunteer Fire Department will use
the Ford Chemical to make house
toulouse canvas for the sale of tickets
to their annual Thanksgiving Ball, to
be held at the opera house Thursday
evening, Nov. 80.
The revenue from the sale of these
tickets, after deducting the expense
Of the affair, is the only recompense,
practically, which the local firemen
receive for their services, and every
citizen should buy ticket to make
the total as large as possible.
Besides the risk these men run in
protecting your property from des-
truction, they are each year put to an
actual expense of more than this re-
venue amounts to, through the des-
truction of their clothes-they U.s.
ually don't have an opportunity to
change when the call comes, and
shoes are ruined, and clothes burned
or soiled at every fire-while from
burns and colds and loss of time they
are put to much added expense and
inconvenience which is not generally
considered by those who do not be-
long to the department.
The solicitors will be around to
your home soon. See to it that they
do not call in vain. Leave the dol
lar for them, in case you might not
be there. Show that you appreciate
the sacrifice these men make to pro-
tect lives and property in this city.

Have Soil Analysed

During the last two months Sc
Wisconsin farmers have asked to
have their soil analysed by the Farm
Soil Survey of the Wisconsin Exper-
iment Station. Since the survey
was founded, 585 farmers have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
find out what kind of "feed" their
soil needed to have to be made the
most productive. The practical
value of these farm soil tests is best
shown by the reports of some farmers
who have had them made, and who
have followed the surveys recon-
mendations.
+ Near Shiocton, an average of 80
percent increase in all crops is report
ed by the farmers. A considerable
amount of special fertilizer was re-
commended. At Stevens Point,
following the treatment outlined,
clover was grown on land where it
had formerly been failure.
In Taylor county, one farmer who
applied potash after the soil tests had
been made, secured yield of 224
bushels Of potatoes to the acre, from
treated land, while on the soil where
he did not follow the recommends
tons of the survey, he raised but Ga
bushels.
Have you had your soil Analysed"
is the title of a new circular just
issued by the Experiment Station at
Madison, which is sent free to farm
ers or landowners who write for it

Galahad Bows to
Local High School

Using straight foot ball most of
the time River Falls waded through
the Galahad team at Hudson
last Saturday for 33 to 0 victory,
and not once during the game was
the Orange and White goal threaten
ed. Hammond, Smith, Nichols and
George each played a great offensive
game, while on the line Hunter,
Scott, Morrow and Quinn were the
star performers, spilling play after
play behind the line when GaIahad
had the ball, and giving their own
runner splendid protection on
offense.
Galahad kicked off and River Falls
carried the ball right up the field for
a touchdown without once losing
possession. George took the oval
over. The goal was missed.
River Falls then kicked off and
Galahad had her chance. The first
two plays Melted a first down, but
Scott and Quinn threw them back on
the next two, and Morrow spilled the
third attempt for loss, and Galahad
was forced to punt. Again River
Falls marched up the field, a 25-yd.
run by Smith featuring this advance.
Theball was on Galahad's 6-yd. line
at the end of the quarter, and on the
first play Smith took it over for the
second touchdown. Nichols kicked
goal. River Falls scored again in
this quarter. Nordby blocked
punt on Galahad's 15-yd. line.
River Falls Immediately lost the ball
on tumble on the 6-yd. line
Morrow intercepted a Galahad pass
and went to the sgd. line and made
the remaining distance. After the
kickoff Galahad was penalized for
smuggling. Their attempt at a for
ward pass failed and the whistle end
Gu CIlG udIl.
At the opening of the third quarter
Galahad took brace and for time
kept the ball in River Falls territory,
but soon the high school boys got
down to business and scored again.
Smith made another long run, Is
yards to the Sgd. line, and Nichols
went on over. Thegoal was missed.
Just at the close of the third quart
er Galahad caught aRiver Falls punt
on her 15-yd. line, but in three plays
lost to her 2-yd. line where tumble
was recovered by Nordby. Hamm-
ond made the touchdown at the open
ing of the fourth quarter.
During the remainder of the game
the ball remained in the center of
the field most of the time, the honors
being about even.
