The signal success of Kurtz &

OBITUARY
JAMES C. MANION (,

James G. Manion was born June
10, 1897, in the town of Clifton. He
died March z, 1919. In January he
was attacked with influenza, from
which he partially recovered. Later
he suffered a relapse, and after an
illness of about two weeks he passed
away. He is survived by his father.
James Manion; two brothers, Will
liam and Louis, and a sister, Mary.
Funeral services were held at the
Catholic church at Prescott on Mon
day, March 10, Rev. FIR. Bauer Of
floating.
When taken sick, James was a
student in the Normal school and a
member of the graduating class. He
was a young man whose fine quail
ties had won for him a host of
friends; and no one looked forward
more eagerly than he to playing his
part as a useful citizen.
The love and high esteem Of his
many friends was beautifully shown
in anxious and tender solicitude dur
ing his illness, and, afteward, in the
beautiful floral offerings. which were
sincerely appreciated by the family.
Few things seem more tragic or
stir us more profoundly than the
sudden rounding to a close Of a life
that is prepared and longing to rend-
er noble service. But human vision
is short and can not know how great
a compensation the All-kind Father
may bestow in place of the rewards
that lifetime of service might have
won. James life will long remain
an influence for good in the world
His teachers, his schoolmates, and
his many other friends mourn his
loss and extend their sympathy to
the bereaved family.

New Local Firm Selling Farm
light and Power System

Monroe Briggs and R. G. Rohl
have gone into partnership as local
dealers for the Lalley-Light, an in
dividual plant for supplying electric
light and power on the farm. This
is not an experimental venture, but
an institution Of many years of sue
cessful service and there is every
reason to believe that the local deal
ers will find this a good field.
Messrs. Briggs and Roll have a
demonstrating plant with which ev-
cry detail Of the service is shown, a
great feature Of it being the simpli-
city Of its operation. Last Saturday
they had their demonstration in oper-
alton on Main street, and, we under
stand it will be run for inspection of
all who are interested every Satur-
day at Heinrich's corner for several
weeks.
Both gentlemen have had long ex-
perience in work required for the
best results in this line, Mr.. Briggs
being an expert electrician and Mr..
Roll an expert mechanic, which fact
will insure their patrons of thorough
and satisfactory installations. The
firm is a thoroughly reliable and
honest one, and we recommend them
to the community.

settle down among his friends, and
in country he understands.
The evening session of Feb. 20
was a banquet, with after-dinner
speeches at which Chief Justice
Winslow presided. and Governor
Philip was the first speaker. The
Governor said: wisconsin had some
excellent land, some fair and some
of it isn't worth a d The
Governor urged the real estate men
to put the interest Of the state and
the interest Of the settler above
private gain.
Mr.. w. ]. Nolan, Speaker Of the
House of the Minnesota legislature,
was the feature Of the evening. His
topic was, "Americanism. He re-
viewed the various phases of the
world turmoil and denounced
Bolshevism.
Multiple Listing is a feature
that works to the entire satisfaction
of the owners desiring to sell real
estate. Where local associations
exist the property owners may list
with any member and the member
is obliged to re-list with all other
members Of this association at once.
Thus the property owner has the
benefit Of the combined efforts of
all authorized real estate dealers in
his city or county.

Normal Fl to IL. The locals though

Mattson. played on equal terms
with their opponents in teamwork,

Band Proposition
Enthusiastically Received

In our last weeks issue we
brought up the proposition of or
ganizing brass band in this city,
and from the flood of inquiries
which followed, both from musicians
and others who are interested, we
are Jed to believe that the deal will
go through.
There was hesitancy upon the
part of some musicians regarding
our request that all interested send
in their name, address and name of
instrument played, thinking, no
doubt, that this would entail upon
them an obligation that might prove
too binding. The request was
merely to get line on the manner
in which the proposition would take,
and there is no obligation whatever
imposed. Even if you are not
musician at all, we would like to
hear from you if you have ideas on
the subject, either for or agains t
the organization of a band here.
There have been many inquiries
for information, and it is already
ascertained that in the neighborhood
from Is to 20 musicians of this city
and vicinity are willing to go into it
at once. 1t is hoped that there
may be twice that many who will
send in their names during the next
week.
Some may be able to take part
occasionally only, and it is the pur-
pose to have as many as possible to
draw from, so that there will always |
be goodly number out not only for
the practice work, but who can be
relied upon to play at the engage
ments.
During this next week we hope to
get the name of every musician who |
might in any way take part and to
| this and we urgently request all who
have not done so to phone us or
mail in their names and addresses.
Remember this does not put you
under any obligation whatsoever.
The latter part Of next week we
will mail to each player who has.
been listed, letter explaining the
manner in which it is proposed to
to organize the band, and advertis
ing as to probable practice shedules,
together with further particulars
regarding it. Be sure and have
your name in during the next few
days, and if you know of anyone
who might not hear Of it, but who
would be available, send in his name
also.
Below we reprint a clipping from
Journal files telling Of the River
Falls concert band Of twenty-five
years ago.
The concert given by the River
Falls Band at the Opera Hall last
Friday evening was we'll patronized.
The performance as whole was
very enjoyable. The music was very
good. The Nelson's performance
with the Indian clubs brought
down the house," as did the George
Williams character songs. There
is nothing cheap about these con-
certs except the admission fee. They
are far in advance Of nine-tenths of
the travelling entertainments that
ONE here andthe community should
freely and literally patronize them.
These young men should be heartily
encouraged in their most commend
able efforts to keep up in the city a
first-class Band. 1t is in some sense
public institution and helps a
town in many ways. Give the boys
good house as often as they make
programme. River Falls Journal
