Card of Thanks

For the departed Bernyce F.
Hawkinson. born Aug. 20, 1900
died April 5, 1919. To all neighbors
and friends of our immediate vicinity
of Mann Valley, to the people of
River Falls, to the faculty and pupils
Of the High School, who have shown
so much of the sincerest, fraternal,
affection, your precious deeds will
linger with us as long as the memory
of our Dear One, which will be to
the end of our time.
We can but requite you with our
heartfelt thanks, of the profoundest
gratitude, such deeds are cathedrals
and shrines, gorgeous, and rich with
all human affection, they seem to
move softly toward the far horizon,
and our hearts follow, with yearn-
ing love, which relaxes the grip of
the grievous burden, which it has
been our doom to endure.
She came, she cheered our hearts
for more than eighteen years. faint
ly we sigh for the by-gone hours and
moments when her smiles and cheers
made our home fragrant with all
human joys. But the past is forever
gone, she is ours no more, we may
stand upon the shore and call her,
but she will not return, we are
answered only by the murmur of the
mournful pillows from the majestic
shipkhat carried her away, beating
family against the shoreless tide. as
she recedes from our longing view,
summoning onward, announcing the
inevitable hour which must come to
one and all.

Plan For Big Live Stock Show


At a recent meeting of farmers
and business men, it was decided to
continue the annual stock shows
and to have one this year June 3 and
4. The war last year interfered with
holding one at that time, but the in
terest displayed on the part of farm
ers seemed to indicate that this year
the stock show would be larger and
better than any held heretofore. The
livestock is to be entered sometime
before the Show, and it is planned
to publish a premium book of the
exhibitors and the animals NUM-
Der of days before the show comes
off. There are to be exhibits of dairy
and beef cattle, horses and hogs.
1t is requested that anyone who
plans to exhibit animals at this show
notify C. N. Wiger at the Farmers &
Merchants Bank, Or ]. M. May at the
Normal School. More definite an
nouncements will be made later.

High School Notes

Our first game of baseball will be
played on the home campus with our
old rival, Hudson, Friday. April Is.
We have a good squad this year, and
no doubt the game will be an exclt-
ing one.
Mr.. Johnson, from the local Nor
NAL school, gave us an interesting
talk on the AGRICULTURAL situation
and showed us that even though we
are not at war we must try not
cease in our efforts to help our
country and supply the great de-
mand for food. He appealed to the
students to have war gardens, and
said it was necessary to have even
more this year than last.

orations is only fifteen and twenty
five cents! Most of the pieces are
new, and all of them will be well
given. Miss Williams has secured
Miss Schlosser and. Miss McMilIin

New Store On
Main Street
Geo. Theo. Smith to Erect New
Building to House Lusk Fur
niture Store, Adjacent TO
Stewart Block

Geo. Theo. Smith is about to build
a one-story building, "A foot front
bv so feet long, just south of the
Stewart block to accommodate /, l..
Lusk's furniture stock and under
taking parlors. The work is. to be
started within few days, and is to
be completed by October | of this
year. The contract has not as yet
been let, nor the final plans definite
" made, but it is expected that the
building will be Of the same materl-
al as the Stewart block, with similar
display windows in front, and a full
length basement for storage.
AS soon as Mr.. Lusk occupies the
new place, the Stewart Mercantile
Co. will take over the portion OF It's
present store now occupied by Mr..
Lusk.
At it's completion this will be the
fifth among Main streets best build

Guiding the first Stewart block,
which was destroyed by fire and re-
placed. In 1893 he built the First
National bank building; in 1901 the
building first occupied by O. w.
Newcomb & Co. and C. F. Heinrich
(now by Messrs. Newcomb and
Sherburne.) He built Vino Fait's
meat market building in 1902. The
first Stewart block was erected IN
1914, was burned to the ground in
1916 and rebuilt the following year
Mr.. Smiths contribution to the
city's growth is by no means re-
stricted to the business section.
Near the high school he built the
brick residences now occupied by
the Reynolds, Peterson and Pat
Manion families, and the Knapp
house, and he also built the house
which E. r. Deans moved into, just
off E. Cascade ave.
While in control of the brick yard,
he also built, under contract, the
houses now occupied by H. 0. Wen
eel, Harley Chinook, VIM. Alton
and Mrs. Baker.
Mr.. Smith has also been active in
farm building, putting up the house
and barns on the Barney farm, now
occupied by r. Jackman, on the
County Line Eoad; also those on the
Sam Woods and Charlie Nelson
farms in Kihnickinnic, and he re-
built those on the Chris. Fable farm
north of town, where John Myhre
now lives.
Last, but by no means least, Mr..
Smith has erected one of the finest
of the summer cottages down. at
Lake st. Croix, just north of Ilwaco
Springs, at Messy Dells, where he
and his family spend the summer
months.

R. T. Normal 4 Hudson High z

The Normal baseball team went
to Hudson last Friday and again
brought home the bacon. Although
the weather man had been busy
with his sprinkler the Hudson man
agement had been buster with dry
ing methods so that game was
possible though the grounds were
somewhat dead. The day was cold
and cloudy and only a fair sized
crowd attended.
Odinwald, the youthful Hudson
slab artist, was the big noise and
persists in keeping his strikeout
reputation. His support was "a
great deal superior to that given
him a week ago but the locals bat
ting eyes seemed to have improved
for they garnered total of hits
in the nine innings and pushed over
4 runs. The Normal fielding, on
the other hand, was inferior to that
of last Friday. With three errors
and several wild throws the high
schedules were able to score twice.
Dean pitched the first inning but
was wild and gave place to Krue-
ger in the second. Kruger worked
steadily throughout the next 5 in
nings and allowed but four hits, but
these, with poor support. let in two
runs. In speaking about pitchers
though, the River Falls Normal will
take off their. hats to none. In
Club" Lowery they have pitch
ing ace of first caliber. In the last
three innings Lowery struck out
seven men and did not allow hit
or pass a man. The team as a
whole did not show much improve
ment over last weeks exhibition
but this is because of the lack of
practice and will no doubt be reIni-

The Victory
Liberty Loan

The twenty-six counties of Wis
coDsin in the Ninth Federal Reserve
districts have been allotted nine mill
lion dollars of the liberty loan. The
ninth districts quota is one hundred
fifty-seven million, five hundred
thousand dollars out of the total for
the nation of four billion five hum
dred million dollars.
The rate of interest is four and
three quarters percent.
The unexpected small amount of
the loan and the high rate Of inter-
est have brought great joy to the
Liberty loan workers of the Ninth
Federal Reserve district who will
begin their campaign on Monday,
April %.
AS announced by the Treasury De-
partment, the Victory Liberty Loan
will take the form of gold notes ma
turing in four years. These notes
will be exempt from state and local
taxes except estate and inheritance
taxes and from normal federal in
come taxes. The notes will be con-
vertible at the option of the holder
throughout their life into three and
three-quarters per cent four year
notes of like maturing, and exempt
from all Federal. state and local
taxes except estate and inheritance
taxes.
The notes of both series will be
dated and bear interest from May
20, 1919, and will mature on May
20, 1923.
If the loan is over-subscripted, as
is probable, only subscriptions OF
ten thousand dollars and less will be
allotted in full. The terms of this
issue have been based upon the de-
sire to devise security which will
not only be attractive to the people
but the terms of which will assure
a good market for the notes and
not affect adversely the market for
the existing Government securities.
Theodore Void, Governor of the
Federal reserve bank, commented
as follows:
''The terms of the victory liberty
loan are so extremely favorable, and
the amount to be raised in this dis
trict is SO comparatively small that
to my mind there is absolutely no
doubt but that the loan will be
promptly over-subscribed in the
ninth federal reserve district"
A. r. Rogers, Chairman Of the
Central liberty loan committee ex-
pressed eager satisfaction over the
terms of the loan.
tThe victory notes are the finest
security ever issued by the United
States" said Mr.. Rogers. People
in this district and ali over the
United States will take them be-
cause they appreciate their value as
an investment and because they be-
lieve in their government. The
treasury department announcement
Of terms should dispel the last trace
of pessimism and this has been the
cause-of our only fear about the
overwhelming success of the loan. "
