Mr.. Smith stopped on the first
bridge west of town to take a couple
OF little girls into his car. Mr.. Daw-
son claims to have put on the brakes

Ford kept right on going, and hard

President J. w. Crabtree visited
the La Crosse normal school Mon
day, and while there was eagerly
and enthusiastically greeted by the
faculty and students. Before the
La Crosse school at assembly period,
he gave an amusing little talk in
which he continually praised up their
school to the limit, putting them
above all others in efficiency, etc.
that is, above all others but River
Falls. He told them that he had
pleaded with his athletes to go easy
on La Crosse, but that in football
a I'd basketball his words appeared to
have had no influence. He added
that he has repeated his supplications
in view of the coming field meet
which is to be held by the two
schools, and that he felt almost safe
in prophesying that River Falls
would BE reasonable" in this affair.
(This prophesy may possibly have
been influenced by the fact that La
Crosse defeated the Stout track team
by about the same wide margin chat
Stout recently defeated River Falls.)

er Falls Commercial Club steps
have been taken to interest a con-
Germ in this city as a possible site
for their canning factory.
A representalive of this company
will be here June 2, and at the stock

the advantages of this location. To
aid in this all farmers who would
be willing to devote at least an acre
of land to the raisingof corn for the
canning factory are requested to
leave their names with w. G.
Spence, at the First National bank.
This does not mean that the farmers
are asked to contract corn for sale
to the factory, but is merely to get
a line on the amount that could he
secured in this vicinity, should the
factory be located here. Mr.. Spence
will explain the details, and all
farmers who are interested in hav-
ing a home market f their produce
are requested to confer with him
upon the subject.
Keep in mind this canning fac
tory proposition, learn all you can
about it when the representative is
here June 2, and if it is found to be
a good thing join in with the Com

Iceland Not Dreary Waste.

Iceland is far from being dreary
waste, for it exports large quantities
of the finest grade of wool in the
world, besides quantities of hides,
sheepskins, feathers, oil, fish and fish
products, and, curiously enough,
many horses. The island has sew
eral natural resources that have
never been developed, among them
great sulphur deposits. One Of them
contains not less than 250,000 tons
Of practically pure sulphur. There
are extensive deposits of copper ore.
This, while of low grade, could be
worked at a huge profit, since the
water power is unlimited and always
at hand wherever the copper is found.
There are also large deposits of gey-
serite which are equal to the best
Arkansas TOMBSTONE. In addition
there are several sections rich in
agates and chalcedony, which are
widely used in making jewels for the
bearings of watches and electrical in
struments. None of them has ever
been worked
