Browns Boot Wins
For River Falls in
First Title Game

FOR the second time this season To-
cal grldiron fans have had the onnor-
tunity OF seeing a game decided in the
iast lew seconds of play by the drop
KICK route. In their opening game the
River Falls high school won from New
Richmond by Whitenack's 45-vd. dron
the ball touching the ground lust as
the whistle ended the battle.
Last Friday in the first conference
game, River Falls and Superior nor
mails fought back and forth over tha
center of the field, scoreless until the
last minute of play, when Brown drop-
ped back on the 30-yd. line and booted
a pretty one over the bar, winning the
game to 0, for the Red & White.
There was just time to make a kick
OFT after that and the game was over.
Although not of a sensational ma
ture, the game was fine exhibition
OF pluck and logged determination on
the part of both teams, and while all
the plays seemed slow in starting
there was enough in the line of long
runs and snappy forward passing to
keep the crowds interest at TOP pitch
at all times.
Archie Morrow was again the star
OF the game, while Butler, Superior's
dusky half-back, gave some spectac-
uiar exhibitions in speed. His work,
however, was not consistent. for while
ne made several long gains, he was
more than apt to be chased back for
an even greater loss on his next few
attempts.
To the sideliners it looked as though
River Falls was deprived of touch
down at one time by official decision.
A long pass was caught by A. Morrow
back OF Superior's goal line, but the
umpire didn't seem to will it thus and.
as it was fourth down, Superior was
given the ball and the opportunity to
punt out OF danger.
The Red G White squad will 90 to
Menomonie Saturday for a game with
Stout Institute. The following Sat
urday Eau Claire normal will be here
for what is expected to be the decisive
game in the northern circuit race.

Now Making Ladders

The Wisconsin Brown Safety Lad
der Co., which purchased the opera
house for its factory, is now filling
orders, sending out several thousand
feet of ladders every week.
The stability of the Brown Safety
ladder is attracting the attention of
dealers ali over the country, and all
prophesy it's universal popularity
wherever ladders are used.
A recent patent added to the Brown
Safety step ladder makes it the most
stable article of it's kind ever manu-
featured, and dozens of visitaEs have
been attracted to the plant in the past
few days to try it out. Through this
devise the highest step ladders turned
out at this plant are found to be so
firm even at the topmost step, that
the user feels as safe thereon as
though he were on the floor. It has
certainly been revelation to those
who have had an opportunity to try
it.
There is also factory at Chicago,
operating under grant from the par
ent company of this city. The Chi
cago factory, although established for.
some time, has not commenced to put
out their product. They are having
machine Of especial construction made
for them by which the entire ladder
is completed in one operation, thus
speeding up production immensely.
They expect to be ready within few
days.

SHERIFF TO HAVE ASSISTANT
Twenty-four Hours, Seven Days i
Week Too Strenuous For One Man,
Says Sheriff Ho2a-"ArsenaP' Also
To Be Augmented.

Supervisor James Dunn, of the LIST
Ward, in company with Supervisors
H. A. Chinook and VIM. Williams, of
Troy and Kinnickinnic, attended the
special meeting Of the St. Croix coun-
ty Board Friday.
This meeting decided in favor Of
issuing bonds to meet st. Croix conn
tvs share Of the soldiers bonus, the
vote showing % in favor of the bond
and II against. It developed in the
discussions held on this subject that
many were under the impression that
the tax limit for this purpose was z
per cent instead of mills. It also
appears that several members have
changed their views regarding the ad-
visibility Of the bond issue, and that
the vote Of this meeting may be recon
sidered at the regular session in favor
of immediate tax.
Sheriff Andrew Hope gave some in
teresting facts concerning the activit-
les of burglars throughout the county,
and displayed wicked looking "blun-

Gently took from an auto thief on the
Interstate bridge. The thief was sub
sequently convicted and is now serv-
ing a year and half sentence in TIE
penitentiary.
The Sheriff relates that there is cor
siderable thieving going on through
out the county, farmers being frequent
victims recently in the loss of cattle,
pigs and poultry. He has been receiv-
ing numerous calls, which, distributed
through the day and night, keep him
on active duty most all the time, and
give him no opportunity for rest.
The Board authorized him to hire
an assistant to relieve him. He was
also instructed to secure ample guns
and ammunition for the. effective per-
Torrance of his duties, and new ar
rangements were especially planned
for barring auto burglaring parties
from crossing the Interstate bridge
at Hudson.

ANOTHER NATURE FAKE.
Story of the Lion That Worked for
ST. Guerassim.


ST. Guerassim.
st. Guerassim, when he was a her
nit In the wilderness met a lion
crying out with pain and holding
up its paw to have thorn pulled
ont. The lions seem to have made
many appeals of this kind to the
early Christians, and Guerassim was
not less backward than Androcles
and the other heroes. He bound up
the poor beasts paw and led it to
the monastery, where for FIVE years
il gratefully served the old man,
even doing domestic labor for him.
The other brothers OF the monastery
also made use OF the lions services,
and even set him to watch the mon
astery ass while It was grazing One
day the lion returned to the monas-
terry without the ass, and Guerassim,
thinking that the natural leOnne ap-
petite had accounted for the beast
of labor. said to the lion. Hence
forth YOU shall be the monastery
ass" Panniers were put on the king
of beasts and he carried their grain
and their pitchers, and he brought
water from Jordan. The lion, who
seems to have been more sanity
even than Guerassim himself, served
meekly, and in those days when the
pilgrims came down to Jordan he
not only brought up water, but
chased the peasants from the sacred
river to the monastery where they
paid the brothers good money to pray
for the health of their bodies and
the peace of soul of their fathers
and grandfathers. At last, coming
back one day, the lion found that
Guerassim was dead. From that
hour he had nc more JOY in life
When the saint was buried the
monks showed the lion TIE tomb
and there he stretched himself out
and expired.
