The man who wrote into the
new postal laws the provisions re-
lating to postage on newspapers.
ought to be taken out and shot as
an enemy Of this country. His
work appears to be a German de-
vice for causing confusion,
trouble and dissension and for
Gripping the greatest moral help
which the government ENJOYS. If
he did not intend these results. he
is an unmitigated fool; if he did
intend them, he ought to be shot
as a German emissary. If he had
restricted his deviltry to merely
doubling the postage on newspa-
pers, but few publishers would
have complained; but no, he must
inhict worlds of trouble, as well as
expense, upon the publishers
and, not only upon them, but up
on all the postmasters also. We
repeat it, he ought to be killed or
sent to a lunatic asylum.

Of course Amos Lewis is not the
proper man for speaker of the
house; but, if the newspapers
keep on giving him columns of
free, though adverse advertising,
they may provoke him into run
ming for governor, in which e.
vent all he would have to do to
win would be to demand the sup
preston of the Episcopal church

clare in favor Of giving forty a.

might be in a whole lot better con-
dition.
Ocala Star:-The reason why
most great editors use little words
is because they are too darned la.

make sure how to spell the big

million hogs, now being prepared
for market in Florida, will swell
the great roar of battle and help
put down the Prussian tyrant.
Times Union The watermelon
crop brought more money to
growers than ever before and the
corn crop is the greatest in the
history of the state. Something
new every month in Florida.

cluslvely shown that Florida can
produce enough sugar to supply
the entire country. With a short
age OF sugar staring us in the face
there never was more propitious

Annual Class Play

The Senior Class of the River Falls
State Normal School will present it's
annual class play in the Normal Au-
.ditorium Tuesday evening, June 4, at
1915.
The play, "Fannie and the Servant
Problem, is a comedy by Jerome K.
Jerome. Fannie Ward, we'll known to
movie enthusiasts, starred in this play
when it was first produced.
The fact that it is coached by Miss
Schlosser of the English Department
of the Normal School is a guarantee
to the public that rare treat is in
store for them. Miss Schlosser has
selected a strong cast, many of whom
have appeared in former productions.
The following is the cast of charac-
tiers and a synopsis of the play:
Fannie, ............. Alta Anderson
Vernon Wetherell, Lord Bantock
Cher husband) =. Russell Robinson
Martin Bennett Cher butler)
........ Chester Sanderson
Susannah Bennett Cher housekeeper)
............ Jennie Wilson
JANE DeHn0C, (nef malu)
..... Winifred Montgomery
Ernest Bennett Cher second footman)
............. Leo Kelly
Honoria Bennett Cher still-room maid)
........ Marion Granbois
The Misses Wetherell, -.
Elizabeth Taggart
Rosetta Demulling
DR.. Freemantle ). i. Francis Mcmahon
George P. Newte Cher former bust
ness manager) ......... Ed. Rock

lons), ............. Marion LetsOn
Marie Johnson, Janice Allen,
Margaret Smith, Olga SIZZLING,
Gertrude Gfegerson, Frances Mckee
Madeline Peterson, Mabel Folden
Evelyn Davidson, Mamie Preston
Eva Cole, Rochelle Rudolph.
The scene takes place in Bantock
Hall, Rutlandshire, in the fboudoir of
Lady Bantock. Fannie, chorus girl,
has married Vernon Wetherell, an ar
tist. He woos her under an assumed
name and she does not discover that
he is Lord Bantock until arriving at
his home she finds that his twenty
three servants are her own relatives.
The butler is her uncle, the house
keeper is her aunt and the other serv-
ants are her cousins. Fearing to tell
Lord Bantock of her lowly connec-
tions, she remains silent and conse-
quently is dictated to and harassed by
the butler and his family. The climax
comes when her twelve chorus girl
companions pay her an unexpected
visit. Fannie asserts her rights and
the play eventually comes to a happy
ending.

Through his congeniality, his enthu-
siasm and his intense patriotic devo-
ton, President Ames has won a place
in the hearts of his students and fac
ulty that few men gain in so short a
time. There can be no doubt that he
has a school 100 per cent patriotic.
The one note sounded continually
from the platform has been, eve
must do everything in our power at
this time to help our country and
those of our allies who need our sup
port" The students responded loyal
ly to the call as shown in their hearty
support of the Y. M. C. A. and Red
Cross, in their thrift stamp and liber-
ty loan activities, through the adop-
ton of French war orphans, and
through the response to the call to
serve their country in the ranks. Our
service flag shows 127 stars, among
these, two members of the faculty
and rs Seniors are represented. The

troops and that no preference exists
may be understood from the fact
that the writer's son now in France.
has not been heard from for several
weeks. His last letter was dated
nearly two months ago. The same
rule applies to all.
One result of having our boys in
France in large numbers is evidenc-
ed in the success Of the great drive
for the Red Cross, which brings
home to our people through occa-
sional casualties and deep personal
interest. realization h every
thing must be done to relieve any
possible suffering on the part OF our
own troops. In this city every
agency as been impressed into
service and girls and matrons on
the street join in selling daily papers
containing reports of Red Cross ac-
tivities, while all proceeds f r m
every source are turned into the
fund. Personal interest not only
helps to swell the amount but also
largely increases h e number of
Contributors. The old adage that
1t is better to give than to receive,
has a present application and those
who give have the knowledge that
however small their gift, it will be
of far reaching service to humanity
in general. This is one result of the
war which brings our whole people
together for a general purpose at
this time.

Government Shoe Prices

There has been much discussion
about the high cost of shoes and we
are glad to learn that our River
Falls merchants are not taking ad-
vantage of war conditions to make
extra profits. One of our merchants,
upon being questioned about the
cause for the high price of shoes, re-
marked, 1T is cinch we are not
getting it," and brought forth some
interesting information, printed in
The Shoe Retailer of May 4tb, a
standard magazine printed in Bos-
ton.
There appear TO be two distinct
styles of army shoes. the improved
Field Welt shoes for which the gov
eminent pays oyer $3.50 a pair and
the new Pershing metallic fastened
Trench shoes for which the govern
ment pays oyer $3.50 per pair. This
merchant went on to say, The
government pays over $3.50 for the
Field Welt shoe in million pair lots.
We will sell you one pair, same
quality and fit for $3.50, SO you can
see we don't get rich at that. The
following is taken from the Shoe
Retailer of May 18th.

shoes:
