Nightshirt Parade

Following a rousing mass meeting
at the normal school last Thursday
evening a parade, led by 200 or more
boys wearing nightshirt overcoats,
marched from the school down to the
business section of town, where 500
students joined in giving the college
yells and singing school songs. A
brass band headed the procession,
and the long line was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by scores of torches. At
the school, students and faculty had
joined in a gay and wildly enthusiast
ic program of speeches, songs and
yells, and the parade was continual
ton of the effort to have the entire
school spirit in harmony for the foot
ball game on the morrow.
The students were at the game
with the same enthusiasm, and a
lively contest was on between the
local rooters and the La Crosse dele
cation vieing to Guido each other in
voicing encouragement to their re-
spective teams.
Between halves the large body of
local students paraded in a line COM
pletely surrounding the field, their
band playing while the students sang
the Red & White songs. The little
group from La Crosse, led by their
band, paraded in the center of the
field and made a respectable show
ing. River Falls boys led a goat
about the field with banner which
read, We've Got La Crosses Goat"
while another group paraded a donk-
ey with the La Crosse colors tied to
it's tail.
After the game the victorious
school rooters marched down town
cheering joyously and loudly, while
the La Crosse delegation made sadly
quiet preparations for their depart
ure.

"War Prices" AT Barber Shops

Commencing Monday of this week
the barber shops of this city have
raised the price of haircuts to 35c. 1t
was not announced whether this was
"on account of the war, or because
of the return of the democratic ad-
ministration, but the chances are
that the real reason is that the ton
serial artists want more money. The
neck wash, or shave, as the case may
be, is still gratis. River Falls has
some cracking good BARRIERS, SO
much better than the average that
patrons wont feel so put out about
the raise in price as though they
were getting less expert service.
Whatever you get at a local barber
shop, be it shave, haircut, shampoo
or conversation, you will always find
that it is of superior quality, well
worth advanced prices.

Farmers Get Many
Building Blueprints

The farmer as salesman, the
farmer as business man, the farm
er as a plant and animal breeder,
these are becoming more and more
familiar terms. Add to these anoth-
er, the farmer as construction en-
gineer.
Blueprints, which once were look
ed upon as technical and mysterious
possessions, known only to skilled
engineers, are now being thumbed
over and followed on the farm in
everyday practice.
Hardly farmer nowadays would
think of undertaking the erection of
building of any size without the
aid Of a good blueprint. A few
years ago a hammer, saw, some
nails, and a blurred pencil outline
were about the only aids at the COM
mand of the average rural builder.
Now, improved plans, combining
the best that experience and expert
ments can produce. are available,
and farmers are making use of
them.
Last year total Of 1880 separ-
ate blueprints were made by the Col
lege Of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin, for the use of farmers,
and for which 5 cents a print is
charged to cover cost of printing
and mailing. The subjects covered
by these blueprints in stock included
septic tanks and siphons, silos and
silo forms, barns, ventilating sys-
TENS, poultry houses, sheep sheds,
hog houses, machine sheds, ice
houses. feeding racks, homemade
ice chests, basket hay racks, amt
special prints showing belt lacing
methods, rope knots and spices and
the construction of a dynamite thaw-
er, dynamite cap case, stump piler,
and stump puller.
Just at present the largest demand
is for prints on the Conrath stump
piler, the mallet stump puller, and
dynamite tool kits. This is due to
the recent land clearing demonstra1
tions conducted by the Institution
throughout parts of northern Wis
consin.
