In the near future mass meeting
will be held to properly inform us of
the gravity of the Naticnal. situa-
ton. A speaker will >be secured.

LOYALISTS TO
DISCUSS SENA-
TORIAL SITUATION

The call issued by the Wisconsin
Loyalty Legion for a meeting at
Madison to discuss the senatorial
situation, is meeting with wide
and n t h u 81 a tic endorsement
throughout the state. The response
is certain to be representative of all
parties as the leading men from all
have promised to be present.
The tone of the responses that
have been received at the Loyalty
Legion Headquarters show t h at
Wisconsin is determined upon one
thing, and that is that the successor
to Senator Husting shall be loyal
supporter of Americas cause in this
war. Almost the only feature of
the proposed convention, which has
been discussed sufficiently to give
line on opinion, is the one proposing
to urge the legislature to enact a
law making possible united action of
loyal forces at the polls. This seems
to meet with unanimous approval.
Not only will the various political
tendencies be represented, but there
will be men from the professional
class, representatives of employers,
of union labor and of farmers.
When the meeting is called to or
der it will control itself. It will be
practically state wide town meet
ing such as Americans have always
called on larger or smaller scale
when confronted with any great
crisis. 1t is open to everyone, but
patriotic organizations are especial
ly urged to insure representation by
electing someone from their mem
bership to act as a delegate. This
applies to County Councils, to Loyal
ty Legions, to Red Cross, Liberty
Loan Committees and other patri-
otto organizations.

to their homes. While the work
took great deal longer than the
contract called for the Cast Stone
people struck hard shedding"

Federal Funds For
River Falls Normal

At the meeting of the Board of
Normal Regents at Madison Satur.
day, December 18th, arrangements
were definitely completed by which
Federal funds become available for
use at the local normal school. The
State Vocational Board, after very
thorough investigation of the OPP
portunities for expanding e
funds for the development of agri-
cultural education in the state, Sc
lected the River Falls N o m
school. The work at River Falls
appealed to the State Vocational
Board as being in line with the in
tent Of the Federal Act appropriate
ing these funds. This Board by &C.
ton designated the River Falls Nor
NAL School for this work and re-
quested the Normal Board of Re-
gents TO accept plan of co.opera-
ton in order that such funds might
be used at River Falls.
This is a great compliment to the
agricultural department of the local
school. M ny other schools, in
Guiding the Agricultural College of
the University of Wisconsin, made
application for these funds b u t
were passed over for River Falls.
This will mean the expenditure of
several thousands of dollars for the
development of agricultural educa-
ton in this school. 1t will mean
the operation of the agricultural de-
partment on twelve months basis
and the addition of several members
TO the faculty. This fund is an &C.
cumulative uln d growing larger
year by year.
The services of several of our
prominent citizens in securing these
funds for River F al | S should be
mentioned n t h i S connection.
Assemblymen C. E. Hanson, who is
a member of the Vocational Board
and very firm believer in agricul-
tural education as it is carried on
in the River Falls Normal school,
was an important factor in conclu-
ding this arrangement. Professor
sc No
partment of Agriculture, formulat-
ed the plans and presented them
to the State Vocational Board. This
presentation of the opportunities at
once favorable to this plan. Re-
gent Ramer has been prominent
throughout n n e conferences
which has had this matter under
consideration. His business fore
sight and judgment played a promi-
nent part in the decisions. At the
Saturday meeting of the Normal
Board of Regents the matter was
presented in such way as to Twin
the unanimous approval of the said
Board. The plan becomes effective
at once.
The selection of the River Falls
Normal School to receive Federal
aid not only means an extension
and enlargement of its work, but it
also signifies recognition of the
merits of the school and the firm es-
Enlistment of its reputation before
the state which means much for the
future growth and prosperity of the
school.
