Fatal Accident
At Bay City

Haden Darlington, aged 20 years,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Daring
ton of Esdaile, was killed by Bur-
lington train at Bay City early last
Saturday afternoon. Daring n
was driving an automobile and ne
gotiating crossing when the Bur-
lington flyer struck his machine.
The young man was thrown out
and picked up unconscious. He was
placed on the tram and hurried to
Hager, where the train was met by
an ambulance from Red Wing. Ex-
animation showed that he had sus-
tanned broken neck, and although
alive and conscious when the start
was made for Red Wing, he died in
the ambulance on the way over.
The Darringtons are we'll known

been employed by the Esdaile Mer-
camille Co. Besides his parents he
is survived by a number of sisters

Seed Situation Serious

The corn in Pierce county was Sc
verely injured by the frost. In Sec
tons there is no corn available for
seed. This means a very serious
shortage next year. Farmers are
exceedingly busy this fall but those
who have corn that can be cured in
to seed should make an extra effort
to cure more than they need. This
will undoubtedly be of benefit to
them and also to the community.
More care will be necessary this
year than in ordinary years due to
the excess moisture in the ears.
While corn can be cured without
heat yet if the heat is available it
should be used. Corn should be
hung where it will not be affected
by the damp days of the fall, which
very easily start mold.
Some farmers have more seed
than they have time to pick and
room to cure. Wherever possible it
would seem advisable for those who
do not have seed to secure it from
these men now and cure it them
selves. Every indication points to a
serious lack of seed and by doing
this more corn would be made avail
able that would otherwise be lost.
Many farms have been visited
where the fields are suitable for
seed. A list of farmers having seed
is being prepared to assist those
wishing it. This will be published
later when the list is more com
plete.

MUSIC-LOVERS
GIVEN RARE TREAT

On Friday evening, through the
courtesy Of C. R. Taggart, large
audience of River Falls music lovers
enjoyed real musical treat at the
Normal auditorium, M ISIS Marie
Kaiser. a we'll known soprano, ap-
peared in a contest with her own re-
cords as reproduced on an Edison
diamond d S monograph. M S S
Kaiser demonstrated how thorough
ly Edison has made it possible to re-
produce music with naturalness
that is positively fascinating. Just
how successful is that recreation of
the hum an voice was we'll illustrated
when Miss Kaiser sang a duet with
herself.
This tone test, as the inventor
calls it, was an as unique and artis-
tic performance as the music low
ers Of River Falls ever enjoyed. The
occasion was more than a musicale,
more than charming, it was planned
to illustrate what Edison has long
claimed-that he reproduces music
so true to the original that the sing
er's voice cannot be distinguished
from his recreation of it.
When the soloist sang in compar-
ison with her photograph record of
the same selection, practically no
difference could be detected between
the two voices. When the auditor
ium was darkened, so that the au-
dience could not watch the singers
lips it was impossible to distinguish
the difference.
Miss Kaiser has a voice Of remark
able range and rare quality, to which
she adds a remarkable technique.
During the entire performance one
could not detect the slightest effort
in her singing.
Abraham Bond, the violinist, rend-
cred some very pleasing selections
and in his comparison with the Edi-
son record, ave Maria," and the
'Humoresque',, his violin matched
tone for tone that of the Edison
monograph.
Mr.. G. r. -Taggart, the local Edi-
son dealer, who is responsible for
bringing Miss Kaiser here, g v e
River Falls musicale that will long
be remembered by all who had the
pleasure of attending.

al years, the River Falls high school
eleven defeated New Richmond high
last Saturday at that city by a score
of 81 to 6.
River Falls played better football
than the Cyclone Cityites and had no
trouble in winning by good score.
The powerful attack and tricky Of
Tense of the locals was too much for
the orange and black in the first half
and River Falls rolled up pair Of
touchdowns and kicked both goals.
New Richmond scored in the third
period by intercepting forward
pass, the runner having a clear field
for the goal line. Goal was missed.

crossing the New Richmond line
twice in the final period.
For the locals, George, Hammond
and Quinn played star game, and
all the men showed up well.

Rousing Patriotic Meet
ing at Hudson

An audience, which taxed the ca
pacity of the Collins arena at Hud-
son on Friday evening repledged
themselves to support the govern
ment, and following a stirring ad-
dress by FIR. Dunno of Eau Claire,
formed st. Croix county chapter
Of the Loyalty Legion. Father Dunno
delivered an address that is said to
have been the most thrilling and pa
triotic lecture ever heard in Hud-
son. He raped in no gentle manner
the Stacker and those "who would
fight if the Germans invaded us"
Said Father Dunno:
You need wait no longer, for
Germany has brought the war right
into our country and has had head
quarters in Washington. The Kaiser's
agents have been plotting against
the country, spending money to cor
rupt congress, spreading pro-Ger-
man propaganda, destroying proper
ty and numbering our citizens when
ever possible in a quiet way. Can
any Of you still excuse your paci-
fism and remain true Americans?

Red Cross Notes

The Ono Branch completed their
organization on September II with
membership of 80. Their head
quarters are the Ono M. E. church.
The Diamond Bluff Branch com
pleted their organization on October
7. Their hopes for so members
were more than realized, as they Sc
cured 60 A number of their ladies
have already begun knitting.
The Woman's League of the Nor
NAL school held the first meeting of
the new school year Monday even
ing. They decided to continue the
making of convalescent gowns for
Red Gross hospitals. 1t is hoped
that other groups Of ladies in River
Falls will volunteer to sew for Red
Cross. The Chapter is anxious to
raise money at once to buy material
for the work.
The following statement has been
issued by Harvey D. Gibson, gener-
al manager Of the American Red
Cross: "A story is being circulated
to the effect that sweaters, socks,
and other articles knitted for the
Red Cross are being sold to the pub
lie in shops or direct to the soldiers.
This is emphatically not true. No
articles whatever, either knitted or
otherwise made by Red Cross work
ers and turned into any Red Cross
Chapter, Branch or Auxiliary, or to
any supply warehouse are sold either
to the soldiers or in shops. There is
no way to prevent people from
making the same type of articles as
are produced by Red Cross workers
and selling them for their own ad-
vantage. Should they use the name
or emblem of the Red Cross in con-
nection with such sales, however
they will be vigorously prosecuted. "

On With the Winter CEHiffons

Late sleepers Tuesday missed the
first snowstorm of the season. Snow
fell for a few minutes shortly after
o'clock and at 7:30 the air was

LOYALTY LEGION
PLANS WORK

Recognizing that IL the war is 20
be fought effectively by democra-
cy every citizen must be able to
think intelligently concerning it, the
Wisconsin Loyalty Legion has plann-
ed comprehensive system Of educa-
tional work on war subjects
The material for series Of pro-
grams has been gathered from a
great number OF organizations and
individuals. The Legion hopes to
focus the widely scattered informa-
ton on the war upon each single
point as treated.
To this end the CO operation of
many war educational societies was
secured. The Committee on Public
Information has promised its fullest
cooperation and is constantly aiding
at every point. The National Sc
curity League, Red Cross, Y. M. c.
A., and many other patriotic and de-
tense societies have furnished litera-
ture and other assistance in their
special lines.
The library Of the University Of
Wisconsin, the Milwaukee public Ii
brary, the United States Burea of
Education, the American Historical
Association and various other indi-
viduals and organizations gave assist
ance in planning the work and Sc
lecting the material to be used. The
musical department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin has pledged it's aid
in developing community singing in
connection with the work
The plan proposes a systematic
preparation of regular programs SO
arranged as to cover the whole field
of war activity. The subjects Of the
main talks at the first five meetings
give an idea of the general plan;
These are, why We are at War"
Mobilization of a Nation, " Feed
ing a World at War;" Financing a
War" Caring for the Injured"
The books required for each meet
ing are being assembled so that they
can be furnished to each chapter. In
this work tbs state Circulating Ii
brary Commission and various local
libraries have pledged assistance.
The Committee on Public Informa-
ton has also helped in collecting
these books and have promised to
supply all works published by the
government in such quantities as
may be needed
With the information furnished
any community can easily present
the program in a satisfactory man
ner. With this series of programs,
containing lectures, general discus
sion, recitations and other entertain
ing features it is believed that the
chapters of the Loyalty Legion can
become the centers of war educa-
ton and as such, of great help in
that mobilization of intelligent pub.
