Seven Billion Dollars TO be Snent
Or About $40 For Each Man, Woman and Child In The
United States.

This immense sum appropri-
ated by Congress for war pur-
poses, when circulated through
the channels of trade, will make
money more plentiful than at
any time in the history of our
country. 1t means that every
person who has food, merchan-
disc OF their labor to sell, will
find ready market and at ad-
vanced prices.
Money like other commodi-
ties is controlled by supply and
demand. When money is plen-
tiful the demand is likely to be
weak, but as money terms are
our basis of reckoning values,
it apparently remains station
airy while the prices of other
commodities advance or recede
in price.
Here in this district tributary
to New Richmond, we are in
a highly favored position to
take advantage of this great
distribution of money and not
only benefit ourselves, indi-
vidually and as a community,
but to be of material assistance
to our Country in supplying
the needed provisions for the
great world struggle into which
we have entered.
In speaking of this district,
we have in mind the splendid
body of land laying north of
Lake Pepin between the Chip
peWa and ST. Croix rivers, en-
bracing the Counties of ST.
Croix, Barron, Polk, Dunn and
Pierce and parts of Burnett,
Washburn and Sawyer and is
the home of the 1890 progress
sive farmers who own the splen-
did Inter-County Cooperative
Packing Plant located at New
Richmond.
With our fertile lands, dairy
herds, immense creameries,
cheese factories and packing
plant, we are in a position to
supply an immense amount of
food products for which the
rest of the world are clamoring
and badly needing, and for
which we will receive GREAT
sums of money.
In some lines of industry,
plants may be taken over for
war purposes. In others there
may be a slackening up Of pro-
duction owing to the scarcity
OF high cost of materials, but
in this section, the only draw
back may be the scarcity of la
Dor. The agitation along these
lines may bring people from the
cities during vacation periods,
who can be of considerable help.
Just as machinery and mod
ern methods have ben found
advantageous in handling the
products of our farms, so are
banks advantageous in the
handling Of our money; and es-
pecially is this true of banks
that are owned by men who take
a deep and far sighted interest

ST. CROIX COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL FIELD MEET, 1917

We have decided to inaugurate a
new activity in our out door plays
and games, by having a field meet
for the rural school boys and girls
at our common school commence
ment exercises on June 16, 1917.
The contests on this meet will be
divided into two classes: Class 1
will be open to boys and girls in the
Upper Form, grades and 8; ClassII
is for all children below the 7th grade.
GIRLS-CIass l
Running 40 yards,
Standing Broad Jump,
Shuttle Relay 40 yards.
GIRLS Class ii
Running so yards,
Baseball throw for distance,
Standing Broad Jump,
Shuttle Relay so yards.
BOYS-Class /
Running so yards,
Standing Broad Jump,
Relay Shuttle SO yards,
Baseball Throw
BOYS-Class III
Running 60 yards,
Running High Jump,
Relay Shuttle 60 yards
Running Broad Jump.
Note-The relay shuttle is run by
two relay teams of four in each team,
by marking off two lines the required
number of yards apart; the first run
ner of each group runs from line "a''
to line 3D." carrying a flag or other
suitable article; runner number 2
standing ready at line "b" takes the
flag and runs back to line a." ETC.,
until all runners have taken part in
the relay.
Schools that are too small to make
up relay teams may join with other
nearby schools to make up these
groups. I would suggest that town
ship relay team in each class, be Sc
lected at the town spelling contest;
and at the county meet we will have
a number of relay races between
township relay teams.
Each rural school may be repre-
sented in each event by two contest
ants. These contestants better be Sc
lected by having a number of tryouts
during the spring term of school, SO
the best two pupils in each event will
represent the school in the county
field meet. The teacher will be the
judge in selecting the representatives
for her school. Suitable prizes will
be offered in each event in the county
field meet.
