Improvement League Sale

The Ladies' Improvement league
will hold a secondhand sale October
26 and 27, in the G. A. r. room in the
City hall. Those having articles OF
any kind to contribute, whether cloth
ing or furniture, are requested to
leave them with Miss Copley at the
Rest Room, as early as possible, that
they may be arranged and marked
ready for the above date Of sale.
The Rest Room has come to be, not
only an attraction and convenience.
but also a necessity in our city. Pe0-
pie living nearer other towns have re-
peatedly said, they come here to trade
because of the convenience Of waiting
and leaving wraps and packages in the
Rest Room.
The free library, though small, is
also an attraction.
The Improvement league makes
this possible and is doing it for the
benefit Of our city. Help us raise the
funds to keep up the work, and don't
forget how much we have done in the
past to make our city attractive, when
you are asked to aid in any way.

Local School Gets Fine Farm

The agriculture school of the River
Falls Normal has received the pur-
chase papers for a forty-acre farm
lying just south Of the present hold
ings and crossed by the railroad.
Every foot of this farm is under pillow.
The school takes possession this fall
in time to do the necessary work. 1t
is definitely planned as to what is to
be done on this farm and it will be
under direction of the head of the
agriculture school and the farm man
ager. This means a chance to get
down to real farm operation and pro-
vides a way to extend our plan of
giving aid to boys who must earn
something toward their school sup
port. The results Of farm work and
students projects worked out will ap-
pear from time to time. The farm
will be self-supporting.
In support of that statement let US
tell how the former tract Of thirty
two acres used as the Normal Farm
returned a net cash income of $4,000
year and paid besides labor in
come of $500 day for man and
team and a heavy expense for fertil-
izer. This last item was heavy. AS
much as 300 loads of manure was
used in one year on twelve acres Of
the land. That land is now producing
heavy crops of all kinds.
A part Of the work required of each
student is that he work out at least
one project Of actual farm operation
and produce satisfactory results. Some
of this is done on the Normal farm
and the recent purchase enables US to
give more students this local oppor-
tunity eand pay rent for the land
used.

Hudson Gusts PacifiSts

Officers of the so-called Peoples
Council of America" a society Of pro-
test against everything generally and
against the countrys war program
particularly, arrived in Hudson last
Thursday and made arrangements for
holding their national council in the
boxing arena.
AS soon as the fact became gener-
ally known about town the citizens of
Hudson held a mass meeting at the
Co. G armory and an emphatic pro-
test was raised against the proposed
affair, the city council adopting reso-
lutions prohibiting it. Among the
speakers at the mass meeting were
Mayor Condit, DR.. c. F. King, w. c.
Bradley, Percy Ap Roberts, County
Attorney Nels O. Varnum and Major
Sam Campbell.
Following the mass meeting the
crowd gathered at the Chaplin Hall
hotel, where Charles Krause, one of
the leading officers Of the pacifst or
ganization, and number of the won-
en- leaders were sitting in the lobby.
For while it appeared as though
blood would be shed as the refusal of
Krause to sign loyalty resolution
was followed by cries of chang them. .
''kill the kaiserites," etc., and several
reached out to haul the now thorough
ly frightened pacifist from the chair.
At this critical juncture County At
torney Varnum appealed to the
crowds better judgment and I'M
doubtedly saved the lives of the dele
gates, who were then hustled into a
big touring car and driven to the
junction depot, with orders to take the
first train out of the state.
This organization has attempted to
hold meetings at several points
throughout the west-they were re-
fused in Minneapolis; Grand Forks
turned them out in spite of the friend
ly attitude of North Dakota's COVER
nor, and now Hudson has demonstrate
ed to them, and to all, the loyal atti-
tude Of Wisconsin.

The Girl Without A Chance

When contractor starts to build
a great building, he goes down into
the filth and slime for his founda-
ton, but the building stands just as
firmly, when finished, as though it
were built on white stone. That's
what Whitney Collins did when he
wrote "THE GIRL WITHOUT A
CHANCE" which will be seen at
the Auditorium Friday, Sept. 14th.
He went into the slums of great
city. He brought forth characters
that were reeking with crime, but
they were human. He brought
scenes that will cause a lump to rise
in your throat, but they are true
He brought forth a wonderful char
acter in h e irrepressible Jerry
Sullivan" but he too is a picture
from life and one that will make the
world better for having been in it.
The metropolitan papers unite in
calling this the most delightful play
of the year and the management
was very fortunate to secure it.
Admission fifty cents to all parts
of the house.
Reserved seats at Freeman's with
out extra charge.

sion is engaged in laying out a sys-
tenn of 5000 miles of state trunk
line highways in accordance with the

the Pierce County Council of De-
tense, has sent in the following re-
port to the State Council;
Harvesting is over and Pierce
county has the largest crop in years.
Wheat is especially good and the
quality never better. A larger acre

The teaching of agriculture and
domestic science has become an i'm
portant field in education. No part
of our educational progression has
received as much attention as that
which relates to the improvement of
the farm and the home. The courses
in agriculture and domestic science
offered by the Union High school at
Roberts and designed to give prac-
tical and scientific training in agri-
culture and domestic science and at
t h e same time enough academic
work to permit the student upon
graduation to enter any college, nor
NAL school, or university. While
these courses are planned primarily
to prepare the boy for farm life and
the girl for home-making it does not
necessarily mean that all graduates
must follow these lines in order to
derive the most benefit. 1t is be-
lieved that these vocational subjects
will be of greater value to the stu
dent than many Of the purely AGA
demic studies should he decide to
follow some other line after leaving
school. School opens September IL.

Interstate League

New Richmond increased her lead
two notches last Sunday by defeat
ing Saltwater to /. The game
is said to have been one of the best
of the entire series.
Ellsworth's twirler Lindberg was
in very poor form again Sunday,
and was SO erratic and ineffective
that Drecho was called in from cent
er field to finish the contest after
the Carrs had scored four runs in
five innings. The Hub made three
TALES, and two or three times threat
ened to win out, but quick fielding
cut off the runners on bases.
In a game featured by near prize
fight H udson won from the
Shermans Sunday and earned equal
rights with Ellsworth o second
place. The score was 5 to 3.
Next Sunday Ellsworth will play
at Hudson. Manager Hyatt n
nounces that he will probably start
Drecho on the mound as in the few
chances he has had he has shown
cleverness that more than equals
the speed of leading pitchers. The
fans are assured Of some real enter
tainmentwith Drechc on the mound,
win, lose or draw, and the game will
be we'll worth seeing. The Cars
will play at Saltwater, and the East
on-Shannonites will make vicious
lunge to get out of the losing rut.
The Shermans are to try and break
New Richmond's winning streak.

Secretary Lanes Opinion

(Reprinted from issue of Dec. 8, 1917.)
 NO ASSESSMENT WORK
 Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary of the Interior Lane, in defining the req olution passed by congress exempting claim-owners from performing assess ment work during the years 1917 and 1918, announces in a letter to the dele gate from Alaska that the law applies completely to ALL Alaskan mining claims EXCEPT OIL CLAIMS, and declares that it repealed the Territorial law of April 2l, 1915, as it is in con- fict: and, further, Sec. 2324 of the United States Revised Statutes, the department considers, covers Alaska because of legislative recognition ac- corded said Soc. 1924 by act of congress of December 1, 1913. Advise all par. ties who may be in doubt as to the ap- plica bility of this law to Alaska. am forwarding a copy of the secretary's letter. CHAs. A. SUL2ER.

From Mir. Wickersham

Washington, D. C., Oct. F, 1917. Editor Iditarod Pioneer;
 Herewith is a copy of an act of con- gross which came from the public printer yesterday. Notice it is an act to suspend the United States law re- quiring the doing of sl00 worth oi labor on each mining claim in each year, and while it suspends the United States law alright, it does not suspend the act of our own legislature which requires the same work to be done. It is thought here to be intellectual in Alaska, and may add an extra burden on Alaskan miners by requiring them not only to do their assessment work on each claim, but also to file the afa- davit mentioned in this act.
 I wish you would publish the act with my notice below it for the inform ation of miners. Very truly yours,
 JAMES WICKERSHAM.

THE SOLDIERS BACK OF THE LINE

The bravest battle that ever was fought Shall tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find 'Tis fought by the mothers of men. Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
 With swold or nobler'pen! Nay, not with eloquent words ofthough, From mouths of wonderful men; But deep in the walledup woman'> Of woman that would not yield. But bravely, silently, bore her part | Lo, there is that battle field No marshaling troop, no bivouac song, No banner to gleam and wave; But, oh. their battles, they last, they From babyhood to the grave. Yet faithful still, as bridge of stars, She fights in her walled-up town Fights on and on in endless wars,
 Then silent unseen, goes down. Oh, ys with banners and battle shot,
 And soldiers to shout and praise, I tell you the kingliest victories fought Were fought in these silent ways. Oh, spotless woman in world of shame, With splendid and silent scorn, Go back to God as white as you came This kingliest warrior born. Anon
