ROD and GUN
CLUB BANQUET
Efforts TO Build Up This Organization
To Strong and Influential
Membership
MUCH MAY Be ACCOMPLISHED
Many Items of Vital interest To Com"
niunliy Can Be Cared For BY
Rod and Gun Club

The River Falls Rod e Gun Club
seeks to increase its membership to
point where it may prove an intiu-
entail factor in the community, and
a get-to-gether banquet is planned
for this purpose, to be held at $50
Friday evening, Feb. %. in Forest
ers' hall.
With membership representative
of the various interests in this locali-
ty much can be accomplished in the
matter of advancing all phases of
outdoor sports here. Fishing in the
Kinnickinnic will become thing of
the past if measures are not speedily
adopted toward protection. Farm
ers along the best stretches of the
river should have their property
rights respected, and a we'll organ
lied club can provide for this fea-
ture of the situation. The matter of
stocking the creeks has never been
Systematically taken care o f, be-
cause oflacko of organization Of those
interested These and dozens of 9TH
er items are included in the work
which the club may successfully ac-
complish if strongly organized, Out
door sports Of all kinds are becom-
ing more popular and are being re-
cognized more and more as a neces-
sity. and under competent organiza-
ton they can be promoted much
more efficiently.
A little thought to the subject will
bring the realization of what organi-
cation for this purpose may mean to
the community, and, we sincerely
hope, will ultimately result in per
fecting this club to a position of
strength and influence in the city
and country adjacent 1t is o worthy
effort, and everyone should join in
bringing it up to it's highest effic-
iency, by joining the Club and be-
coming an active worker in the or
ganization.

FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1917
Market Day in March

On account of the continued cold
weather and the poor condition of
roads in this vicinity, it has been de-
cided to abandon any idea of staging
a market day during the present
month, but a convenient date in
March will be chosen and plans made
for putting on big cash bargain
sale and farm stock auction.
Merchants and farmers should
keep this in mind and plan on what
specialties they will have to offer at
that time. A goodly list should be
on hand for the auction, as that will
constitute one of the prominent feat
ures Of the day.

Mrs. josephine EStsY Holmes
Reads fEYst While Susan"

Through the efforts Of the Mele-
team staff an audience of about 800
had the pleasure Of delightful eve
ming last Thursday when Mrs. Jose
phine Etter Holmes gave a reading
from the book 'Erst While Susan"
Many in the audience needed no
introduction to Mrs. Holmes. for her
reading of THE Little Minister" was
still fresh in their minds, and no one
who heard her at that time needed
a second invitation to buy ticket
for her return engagement here.
Mrs. Holmes makes her own cut
tings for her readings, hence her
work has a personal touch that is
often lacking in professional read
ers. We will always be glad to see
and hear her again in River Falls.
On the following afternoon about
so ladies gathered at the home Of
Mrs. w. G. Spence, whose hospitali-
ty was shared by Mrs. M. A. Shep-
ard, and there heard Mrs. Holmes
present the play every Woman"
She held her audience in intense in
terest as she touched on the differ
ent phases that come into the life Of
every woman, be she high or low,
rich or poor, and as she closed each
felt that all women of the world are
of one kin, sharing alike to greater
or less degree, the experiences that
she had portrayed. 1t was thor
oughly delightful afternoon.

At Minot, on Jan. Fl, occurred the
marriage of Mr.. Conrad Iverson and
Miss. Anna c.. Johnson, Rev. Gullik-
son officiating.
That the contracting p a r t ie S
sprung a complete surprise on their
friends goes without saying for on
Saturday night after their return on
the evening passenger train, it was
whispered about the city but no one
for moment believed it. Their con-
tinued residence among US combined
with the fact that at home" cards
had been printed and also formal in
Productions go to show that "he has
gone from amongst u.s. and can
really now be counted as a benedict,
whatever that is. That Mrs. Con-
rad Iverson can play the title role IN
Along Came Ruth" goes without
saying for it has always been a safe
bet that the marriage meshes of that
matrimonial net have always seemed
too big to hold him. The girl OF his
choice has been resident Of Minot
for number of years and has gain
ed the esteem If associates and her
many friends there regret to loose
her companionship while the many
friends of the groom here will well
come her into their circle with gen
uine pleasure. During the past year
Mr.. Iverson has won for himself an
enviable record at the First Nation
al bank where he can be seen behind
the counter holding responsible po-
sition.
Miss Hazel Crabbly and Mr.. Chas.
Johnson, brother Of the bride, wit
messed the ceremony.
The former bachelor associates of
Mr.. Iyerson can now be seen Sink
ing around the corners looking with
disfavor upon one who was counted
upon to maintain and support that
irresponsible position in life that has
made everything free and easy. The
Tribune News extends to the happy
couple congratulations and wish for
them a prosperous and happy we'd
ded life.

C0nimends Pres. Crabtrae'S
Views

The Minneapolis Daily News
makes the following editorial COM
ment upon a recent criticism by
President Crabtree on the present
system of handling educational
foundations. president Crabtree Of
the River Falls, Wis, normal school
should be commended for his attack
upon the educational foundations.
1.-The American people pride them
selves on the democracy of their
public schools. The foundations are
thoroughly undemocratic-in princi-
pie, in the character of their organi-
zation, and in the manner Of their
administration Founded as they
are upon wealth acquired by notori-
ously undemocratic means, their
continued control by private individ-
uals and groups is becoming a dan
gerous factor in an educational pro-
gram that must be clearly demo-
cratic
'fThe ed a tional foundations
should be controlled and administer
ed by the government-that is, by
the people. AS managed at present
they are completely out Of harmony
with democratic institutions and
ideals"

j. ?. Inglis, recruiting officer for
Co. c, Wisconsin National Guard,
was down from Hudson Tuesday in
the interests Of that organization. 1t
is believed that sufficient number
can be enlisted from River Falls to
warrant the establishment Of an
armory here, and possibly have an
officer stationed here to take charge
of the drills, etc. With a platoon Of
thirty or forty men the work could
be done efficiently in a local hall
rented for the purpose, and in the
summer months provision could be
made for range practice. Local
members f the National Guard
have heretofore been considerably
handicapped in not being able to
attend the drills at Hudson regular
ly, with the result that they lose
their enthusiasm in the work. A
new provision has been made for
paying militia men, t he stipend
amounting to about one dollar for
each drill.
There are undoubtedly a large
number Of young men in this city
and vicinity who would like to en-
list in the National Guard. If there
are any who wish further informa-
ton on the subject. drop card to
The Journal and we will put the ap-
plicant in direct communication with
the officer in charge of this territory.
A meeting is to be held at the City
Hall Monday evening, at which Maj.
Burton, Capt. King and Lieut.. Inglis
will address those interested.

LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS DR.. HINS0N
LISTENERS REWARDED WITH
SPLENDID SERMON AT
BAPTIST CHURCH.

(E. r. e.
The audience gathered at the Bap-
tist church last night was richly re-
warded in the great sermon whicn
Dr.. Hinson preached. Tonight wall
be the last OF the series. No doubt a
large audience will greet the speaker
Come early and enjoy the song serv-
ice.
The text last night was Job 22:25.
"Acquaint now thyself with Him and
be at peace"
There are three things to be noted
about this statement:
Acquaintance with God as creator
gives peace to the mind. Atheism is
FOOLS religion. He says more than
he can prove when he says there is
no God. He must search everywhere
in the universe before he can say
there is no god. They say that evolu-
ton has dethroned God. something
could not evelve from nothing. Evo-
luton has not dethroned God Schools
have no business to teach religion
and they have no right to teach ire
ligion. Schools must be kept pure or
you poison life at the fountain. You
should take the dance out Of your
schools as quickly as possible
There is no rest to the mind until
you find God Every house is built
by some man. He that built all
things is God.
AcdIlainfanca with cod as Gayior
gives peace TO the conscience. The
religion which says. TT is Impossible
for man to sin is false. Let con-
science speak and it says you have
sinned. Sin and God cannot abide to-
gether. Repentance does not rid Us
of our sin. Neither does reformation
for you cannot reform the past. Blu;
to find God or Savior brings peace 70
the troubled conscience for he shows
us how he can take away eur sin and
liberate us from it.
Acquaintance with God or ruler and
Father gives peace to the heart. No
one knows how the migratory bird
finds its way from the nOrth TO the
south. l don't know the way am
going, but HE knoweth the way that
take" know my guide and my
heart has no fear but is at peace.
But who will acquaint me with
God? Assuredly not the law. No one
is competent for this but Jesus
Christ. God was in Christ reconciling
the world unto himself.
