PIERCE COUNTY TO CONTRIBUTE
TO ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FUND

Theodore Roosevelt, the then great
January, 1919. Whatever criticism
was made OF Roosevelt, none ever
challenged his Americanism. Patriot
ism was his chiefest virtue and love of
country was a passion with him. 1t
has been proposed that his countrymen
now erect a fitting and lasting memoir
ial to him, ehus preserving for future
generations a personal tribute to the
life, character and services Of this
most remarkable American.
This program includes the erection
of national monumental memorial in
Washington, the establishment of a
park at Oyster Bay, and the creation
of a foundation which will teach the
Rooseveltian ideals to the succeeding
generations.
To accomplish this purpose nation
wide campaign will be held during the
week of October 20 to 27. Each Amer
lean, rich or poor, may assist in the
establishment of this memorial.
The sum to be raised is comparit-
lively small, only $1O0,000.00 in this
state, and $4,000 in Pierce county.
1t is expected that everyone will con-
tribute his efforts to perpetuate in the
minds Of all true Americans that last
message of Theodore Roosevelt, deliv-
cred the night before he died: eve
have room for but one fag-the Amer
lean flag; we have room for but one
loyalty, and that is the loyalty to the
American people"
A Chairman has already been ap-
pointed for Pierce county, and COM
mittee to raise these funds will be ap-
pointed in a very short time. The
amount to be raised is very small,
but it is desired that everyone have an
opportunity to do his share.

THE NEXT EPIDEMIC

From a Reader: "They say we're
going to have another flu epidemic =
eyes, and understand that they ex-
poet it to be harder than the other ep-
idemics."
The above is part of conversation
overheard the other day. The latter
statement, which I believe to be great
ly exaggerated, struck me rather fore
IDLY, but l couldn't help thinking that
even if it were generally true and if
every citizen of the state would CO.
operate Fundamentally with the
health departments, the next epidem-
ic (if there is to be next one) would
not be "harder that the other epidem-
les.
1t is true that proper way to meet
the first influenza epidemic was a very
difficult task. It came with cyclonic
suddenness. A large proportion of our
doctors and nurses were in the army
But since then doctors and other pub
lie health workers have devised pro-
gram to meet such epidemics. They
have given US certain "do's" and
"don'ts." The chief difficulty in fol-
lowing them seems to lie in their be-
ing so easy and simple.
Let's prove to the nation that we are
made of the right kind of material!
Let's make our Respective communit-
les regular anti-sickness centers We
can do it, so let's start this tug-of war
right away. Don't have it said that
you are letting your end of the rope
slaclSen by ignoring the so-called COM
mond cold, because this is the very
foundation of Influenza and many 9th
er contagious diseases.
Don't cough or sneeze into the open
air and do stop others doing SO. And
| if another epidemic does come, let's
organize in the way the last epidemic
has taught US, with everyone a star
player in the team.

GRACEFUL MODELS

cal Display By Living Models.

The formal season opening and
Style Show at the Stewart Mercantile
Co. R. c.. U. store on Friday evening
and Saturday afternoon was the fin
est of the several similar displays
which this enterprising establishment
has staged in the past few years.
In spite Of the fact that great deal
more space was provided by taking
out most all OF the display tables, the
store was unable to accommodate the
large crowds that came from all over
this territory to witness the displays.
The store itself was transformed in
to a veritable fairyland by the beau
tiful decorations arranged under the
able and artistic direction of Mr..
Frank West His window displays for
this occasion were especially attract
i've. A very clever and pleasing color
scheme bordered the entrance and

Splendid music was furnished dur
an orchestra under the leadership OF
Mr.. Almond Christensen, violin, with
Miss Garlid, piano, Paul Bird, cornet,
Jesse White, trombone, and Mr.. john
son, of Red Wing, traps. Catchy song
numbers were rendered during inter

The coiffures were high tribute to
the art of Mrs. Warren Dean, of
Minneapolis. The millinery worn was
all from local shops.
This semi-annual affair, through the
excellent manner in which it is staged
is not only splendid advertisement
for the Stewart Mercantile Co., but
promotes the interests of the entire
community in lending an air of up-to
date and hustling enterprise for which
the city as a whole receives credit

AT ELLSWORTH THIS WEEK
Local High Deserves Better Grid
iron Patronage-They're Giving The
Fans Their Moneys Worth.

Blake high school, of st. Paul, sent
down about ton of Drawn to crush
the gridiron daylights out of the small
but frisky warriors of the River Falls.
high Saturday, and when the SANITY
giants lowered over the locals in the
first lineup, the situation sure did look
hopeless from the home fans stand
point.
But after River Falls kicked off, and
Blake made three unsuccessful at
tempts at the line, the outlook bright
ened, and when, on the second play af-
ter the locals secured the ball,
double pass, Whitenack made 25 yds.,
and Standish added 20 more, there was
more than a CLEAN of hope in the home
camp.
Blake held up the rush for while,
though, but the locals played them
more than even, and treasured their
hackers by tossing every try at the
line for loss, securing the ball again
on downs.
The locals then started business
like campalgn of open plays, and on
fake kick formation " hitenack circled
Blake's left end for touchdown. He
kicked the goal.
River Falls kicked off and Blake
made good return to the center of
the field. They made first down on
two plays, but couldn't repeat the per-
Torrance and lost the ball on downs.
The remainder of the half was rather
ragged, both teams fumbling lot.
and neither team being able to gain
consistently.
The locals opened right up with
their speed stuff in the second half.
Dooley Smith was in at quarter, and
on the fourth play, grabbed long for
ward pass and ran ten yards for a
touchdown. The goal was missed and
the score stood 13 to 0. 1t only stood
there about eight minutes, however,
for the Falls, after blocking three sue
cessive attempts at drop kicking, fin
ally recovered the ball, and on the
first two plays made so yards on for
ward passes, little Dooley catching the
second pass for a twenty-yard gain.
5tandish carried the ball over for q
touchdown. The score was the result
of some fast and brilliant open play.
In the last quarter the locals played
mostly on the defensive, and the work
of our linesmen was especially bril-
liant in this period. Near the end of
the quarter River Falls added another
tally for good measure, Ted Johnson
squeezing through center and over the
goal line. The final tally was 25 to O.
Although punting in good form White
mack was off color in place kicking,
and got but one over after the four
touchdowns.
Ellsworth is said to have a large,
| fast team, and although they are new
at the game, next Sundays battle at
the Fair Grounds will undoubtedly be
good one.

The score came in the last quarter,
after River Falls had held and secured
the ball in the shadow of their own
goal. Heck Morrow punted, getting
off dandy boot, but the referee called
the play back and gave Carleton the
ball on NormaPs Sgd. line. Although
he gave several explanations, none Of
which appeared to have any bearing
on the play, the game was continued
and was decided by this score.
River Falls played the fast and hus-
ky Gophers more than even, and but
for hard luck in the pinches, should
have scored on two or three different
occasions when within striking dis
lance Of the enemy goal.
The game showed that the Red &
White have powerful defense, and
when the offense is perfected to bal
ance, the locals should be prime fav-
orites in the state title race.
Hunter was injured at Mortified
Saturday, having his back badly twist
