Gustave Thompson, Martell's gen
eral merchant, died at his home in
that village Friday afternoon. He
had just eaten dinner and was sitting
in chair talking with members of
his. family when suddenly stricken
with death. The funeral will take
place at the family residence at one
o'clock this afternoon, Rev. A. Oberg
conducting the services. Mr.. Thomp-
son was a pioneer Of Martell, settling
and engaging in the merchandise

Thompson. He was sixty-seven
years of age. He is survived by his
wife and seven children-Gustave,
Fred, Randolph, Ida, Emma, Esther,

Local High Trims Hudson

Cap. Mr.. Doc. Peterson led his
basket shooters to another glorious
victory last Friday evening, victim
ling Hudson high school by the
rather lopsided tally of % to IS. 1t
was River Falls all the way through
the game-13 to 5 in the first half,
and Is to s in the last
Carlson was the only visitor to
make more than one field shot. Dor
gan and Singer scored one apiece,
and the former added points on
free throws The locals scored field
baskets as follows: Peterson 3,
Smith 2, Snodgrass 1, George 4,
Quinn j. Smith shot free throws
out Of 10 chances.
River Falls high has speedy lit
tie quint. When forced, they can
develope lightning teamwork, and
clever individual play. Basketball
1dl1o 0llUu!u Lulu OuC dIIU give CilSI1l
the encouragement of a large at
tendance at the game with Galahad
tomorrow (Friday) night. 1t will
be a good, fast game, and we'll worth
watching. River Falls has victory
to her credit over Galahad this sea-
son, and the visitors will come with
a strong determination for revenge.
AS in football, the high school ath-
letics are somewhat eclipsed by
those at the normal, but it should be
remembered that the best that the
larger school presents is developed
in the high schools and the more en-
enlargement given the high school
activities means a better product at
the normal. The normal school, al
so, can rely upon its own student
body md faculty for large share OF
financial support for its athletics,
while a successful year at the small
er institution must depend largely
upon the patronage of toWnspeople
and a reciprocal interest from the
Normal.

On a Weekly Schedule

King Boreas again decreed Siberi-
an isolation for this city, enforcing
his decree with a blockade of drifts
on Sunday that effectually put all
kinds of traffic out of commission for
a couple of days.
Monday evening the snow pillow
came through about $50, and on
Tuesday passenger trains made their
regular trips. and that noon there
arrived the first freight train since
the Tuesday before. Rural mail car
riers have been unable to complete
their entire routes for the past week
or more.
Several attempts were made Sun
day to drive through from Hudson,
but drifts in the vicinity of the
Hogs Back" proved impossible.
Professor E. B. Swenson and John
Vezina, returning from the basket
ball game at Stevens Point, braved
the elements and "hiked" down
from Hudson Sunday afternoon.

i'champs" Lose at Stevens Point

The Stevens Point normal school
quint appears to have a strong claim
upon this years championship in the
northern circuit, having won all of
their games by decisive margins.
Capt. Betzel's tribe journey3d down
there Saturday and met defeat, the
Point scoring nearly two to one on
them. The final tally was 35 to Is.
Pope, the Points star, is said to be
playing great game this year, but
he was unable to score against Egge-
brechts, while Otto shot three
baskets.
The Pointers will be here March 2
for the return game, and the Red q
White will extend themselves to the
limit to even up the honors then.
The Superior game was cancelled.

At The r. C. U. Convention

Geo. M. Stewart is spending the
week at the Retailers Commercial
Union convention in Chicag o.,
where representatives of over 500
stores that comprise this organiza-
ton have gathered to select their
stock of goods for the coming sea-
son.
These stores have conferred a
great compliment upon Mr.. Stewart
by choosing him to select from the
eastern manufacturers b stock
which is now placed for their Sc
lection at Chicago, for the success
of their sales in the next few months
depends almost entirely upon popu-
larity of the lines which he has Sc
lected for them to buy.
Mr.. Stewart was one Of the origi-
majors of the r. G. u, and it has
been chiefly through his efforts that
it has grown from a very humble
start to powerful organization
representing over five hundred mer.
chants. 1t is truly a sincere tribute
to Mr.. Stewart that these merchants
back their faith in him with the in
vestment of thousands Of dollars in
the purchase of stock which he has
selected.
An interesting announcement con
corning the r. c. U. plan is given
in the Stewart Mercantile Co. ad.
in another column of this paper.
Miss Edith Anderson, who has
charge of the corset department of
the Stewart store, is also at the
convention this week, Miss Ander-
son is considered as one of the
leaders in this department at the
convention, and the buyers from
other stores depend considerably
upon her advice in their selections.

Real Advertising Service
Offered TO Business Men

The Journal has just completed ar
rangements with the Bonnet Brown
Company of Chicago for an advertis-
ing service that will be Of special in
terest to Journal advertisers. The
Journal has long felt the need of a
good cut service that would enable
our advertisers to present their ad
vertising in more attractive man
ner and at the same time add mater
tally to it's pulling power.
The Bonnet Brown Company has
long held an enviable position among
the larger advertising firms of the
country, through its expert work in
metropolitan dailies and magazines.
Better facilities in the way of illus
rrations has given the city adj
vertiser an advantage over the coun-
try advertiser. The result has been
that the city has pulled trade from
the surrounding country. The Bon
net Brown Company has now extend
ed their sci vice to newspapers in the
smaller towns. This service which
is used by Twin City and other large
daily paper advertisers, is now made
available to River Falls business men.
The publisher of a country paper
must give his readers and advertis-
ers service. Our duty to an adver-
tiser is not to throw some type to-
gether to fill space, with his name
attached and then at the end Of the
month go round and take his money.
Our work is to make whatever space
he uses in the Journal productive to
him and not just an expense. People
must read the ad. if advertising is to
pay the advertiser. The ad. must be
attractive if it is to be read by the
readers Of the paper. The picture is
the universal language and can be
read by everyone. We are making
it possible for our advertisers to
properly illustrate their advertising
The Journal has this service exclu-
sively in its field The addition of
this service is another step in the d.
rection Of the goal for which we are
striving leadership in the local field.
We will be pleased to show the SER
vice to all who are interested.

Washington is struggling in the
throes of cross between the grippe
and influenza. Statesmen who COM
mand attention throughout the
country with their utterances have
surrendered to this maIady. Hay
fever in the winter time is the way
it is described by sufferers who
sneeze and crate with all the fervor
and fearful pathos of a man with j
cold in the head. This may seem a
matter of slight moment when great
national issues monopolize public at
tention but from Mann, the Republ:-
can leader, all the way down the
line, this influenza is a serious mat
ter that challenges attention and
gets its fair share, irrespective of
revenue, submarines, preparedness
or any other issues.
