Glen Park Is Popular

The popularity of Glen Park as a
picnic and playground is steadily
increasing. During the warm
weather the park is daily patronized
by large crowds of men, women and
children who go there to be out in
the cool shade and to use the ac-
commodations provided for picnic
dinners and luncheons.
There is a noticeable lack of play
ground equipment for the children,
and it would be a good idea to make
some sort Of investment in this line.
There are several teachers in this
city who have had considerable ex-
perience in playground work in the
larger cities, and we would suggest
that the Park Board consult with
some Of them and find out what
equipment would be best adaptable
to Glen Park, and install as much of
the same as possible.

A TRANSFER IN MID-AIR

Aviaton's latest and greatest SEN
sation, Lieut.. Omar Locklear, the in
ternationally famous aviator acrobat
who leaps from one plane to another
in mid-air and performs other unbe-
lievable stunts, will be the leading fea-
ture of an unusual entertainment pro-
gram at the Minnesota State Fair,
August 80 to Sept. 9. Lieut.. Locklear
will perform his unparalleled act of
jumping from one plane to another
! the first three days of the fair.
With his plane speeding through the
air at the rate of eighty miles an
hour, Locklear climbs past his pilot,
worms his way under the wing and
sits on the axle of the undercarriage.
Here he waits until the other plane is
flying about eight feet directly be-
meath him, when he hangs by his
hands and lets. go. He also reverses
the act and climbs from the lower to
to the upper plane by means Of a rope
ladder. Locklear demonstrates his
faith in the stability of his craft by
climbing to all parts of the flying
plane. His act is invariably perform
ed at an altitude of less than five hun
dred feet so that the change of planes
may be easily seen. He frequently
scampers from one part of his plane
to another at an altitude of less than
one hundred feet.
Locklear was star of the Interna-
tonal Flying Circus at Sheepshead
Bay Speedway, New York City, last
May. Before aviation experts of both
continents at the Pan-American Avi-
alton Congress at Atlantic City in
May he made the changes of planes
in gale of puffy wind and won the
admiration of the biggest men in at
tendance.

A Popular City

The daily crowds in River Falls
indicate the Importance of this city
as business center. No city in
this territory of anywhere near the
size of River Falls can show anything
like it. This towns average day
crowd would be considered a big
showing for Saturday turnout, and
our Saturday evening crowds equal
circus or fair days elsewhere.
The big factor in bringing these
crowds of business patrons to River
Falls is advertising. Merchants of
this city have good goods to sell and
they advertise that fact. The local
papers carry lots Of it, and this
brings in the croWds-it is a constant
reminder to the people of this com.
munity that the merchants Of this
city are on the job and alert for
their trade a constant invitation
to come TO River Falls.
And the best testimony to the
honesty of the advertising of River
Falls merchants is the continually
increasing patronage which comes
to this city.

ST. Croix counties met at Hudson,
Wednesday to organize Real Estate
Board for the two counties.

airy chairman, and Chas. Settergren
secretary. The following gentlemen

Faast of Eau Claire and r. P. Stein
berg of Appleton.
The aim Of this organization is to
associate real estate men of these two
counties for mutual benefit to them
selves and to the public; to have some
foundation, and place to go for re-
dress for any wrong doings by unre-
liable so-called land men. It is also
for the purpose of multiple listing.
When a farmer, or other property
owner lists his place with his local
dealer, if a Board member, it is list
ed also with every other member of
the Board, which will reach over
twenty of the most prominent Real
Estate men in the. two co'nties. These
men have signed the agreement and
will be held responsible for their acts.
At this meeting w. E. Webster was
elected president, Chas. Setergren
vice-president, w. III. Putnam secre-
tary, John Hagen assistant secretary
and C. N. Wiger treasurer. A COM
mittee on Bylaws was appointed, af-
ter which a rising vote of apprecia-
ton was given to the visiting real es-
tate men present aud to the landlord
of the Chaplin Hall House for his
splendid service to the members. The

New Richmond on Monday, when it
is hoped to double the present mem
bership.

Death Of fillmore Ensign

Shocking to the entire community
was the death by drowning in the
Apple river last Thursday evening
of fillmore, second youngest child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Ensign, at
the Riverdale power plant, three
miles northeast of Somerset. The
little fellow, who was not yet four
and half years old, fell into the
water at the gate of the dam and
was drowned before knowledge of
the accident was had and help OBJ
tanned. fillmore, who was a very
active, likable child was at the gate
with rake taking the debris away,
in imitation of his father. His
brother, but year or so older, was
near and talking to him. Fillmore
turned about to listen and stepped
backwards into the water having
depth of twenty feet or more. AS
soon as news of the accident reached
Somerset many rushed out to the
scene of the tragedy to give assist
ance that kind thotfulness could
advise and render. The body was
not recovered for about two and
half hours following the mishap,
though unremitting efforts were
made. Pulmotors and lung motors,
combined with physicians services,
to resuscitate were employed, the
former having been obtained at
Saltwater, but to no avail. The
vital spark had fled. Fillmore was
the second youngest of three, and
his sudden taking away is rude
shock and grief to his parents and
many friends Of the family, who ex-
tend sympathy and condolences -

bondale (Illinois) Normal, whore for
a number OF years he has been head
OF the Music Department.
The President of the Carbonate Nor
NAL, in speaking of Professor Powers
work, states; "At the time Mr.. Pow
ers began his work here, there were
no musical traditions, no enthusiasm
and not much talent. Within six years
he has brought about complete trans
formation. At that time he had to
DO all the work without any assistance
Whatever. Today he is head of the
department. with three assistants. Our
music has become the pride of our
school and of its friends. We have
tried to induce him to remain with us
but ne wishes to seek larger field"
PROFESSOR Brown is spoken of as a
thorough musician in every respect:
line tenor and a writer of music.

choir leadper and conductor and as a
teacher OF public school music. Prof
essor Powers is not only specialist
in public school music, but he has had

known in southern Illinois as one of
the best musical organizations in that
section.

siders itself fortunate in secur,rl. so

Making Them Partners

In a recent article in the Country
Gentleman" it was advised the farmer
to snake your daughter a partner
It was proven in the article that
daughters make excellent partners,
that they are equal. to the responsible
ity, develop under the confidence i'm
posed in them and are more likely to
remain on the farm in which they
have a personal interest and financial
share.
The maryland Farmer" recently
printed a poem in which stranger
asks the farm boy, now city dwell
err, why he bolted. The following
poem, brief, but to the point, gives
the gist Of the reply:
I left my dad, his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his cow;
left my dad-'twas wrong of course,
Because my colt became his horse;
I left my dad to sow and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep;
I dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
Because my pigs became his pork;
The garden truck that I made grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe.
So the boy went to town, not be-
cause he liked smoke and dirt and
noise, but because he wanted some
thing that was his own.
There is lot of hard truth in it all,
and it applies to other places beside
FARMS.
Cooperation makes for contentment.
An interest in the business for which
one has toiled makes all the toll worth
while. Nobody who has attained to
years of discretion, and who has any
ambition, is going to remain contented
very long where another reaps all the
fruit of his labor.-Ellsworth Record

A River Falls Pavilion?

Now Dame Rumnr hath it that local
parties are considering the idea OF
forming stock company for the pur-
pose OF erecting and conducting. a
dancing pavilion in River Falls. Ii
is very nebulous rulnor, and it is al
most impossible to find it's source, but
the persistency of it's recurrence
would lead one to believe that, after
all, it might have a foundation some
where.
And why not? Because the one
and only pavilion of this city's ex-
perience, operated without enthusiasm
or faith, under handicap Of severe
censorship, and engaged at infrequent
intervals without proper advertising,
proved to be oliver is;certainly no
good reason for present discourage-
inent.
Most every large town throughout
the country has a big pavilion, or is
building one, and the patronage is in
creasing right along. Under proper
management these pavilions provide
popular amusement for the young
people at home and it will prove just
as attractive for them here as it does
in the neighboring towns if the same
efforts are made here as there to OBJ
tain good music and to keep the place
up.
River Falls furnishes a good per-
centage of the patronage at the dane
es in neighboring towns, and there is
certain to be an equal if not larger
reciprocity from those places at sim
liar affairs here.

KEEP 1T MOVING

Mr., Frear has introduced joint res
solution providing that after Dec. I,
1920, the Ways and Means Committee
Of the Senate shall form joint budg-
ct committee with jurisdiction over
both revenue and appropriation bills.
To that committee all executive esti-
mates of expenditures shall be refer
red; and no other committee of House
or Senate shall report any bill carry
ing an appropriation or to raise reve-
nue.. When the estimate of expendi-
tures-that is, the ,debit side of the
budget-has been made up and re-
ferred to this joint committee no new
item of expenditure may be added to
it by the committee and no item in
creased except on request of the Pres
ident or by IA two-thirds vote of the
committee. But the committee may
eliminate or reduce items by majority
vote. When the budget bill, passed
upon by the committee, is reported to
Congress it shall not be in order for
any member of the House to offer an
amendment increasing any item in
the bill except when such an increase
conforms to the original executive es-
innate.
Like Mr.. Goods bill, this moves in
the right direction. Finally there can
be no budget reform worth talking
about as long as a~dozen or twenty
COMMITTEES have the power, each on
on is own hook, to bring, in bill in
volving an appropriation at any time
during session, or as long as a log
rolling clique of members in either
branch can loadsup appropriation bills
at will. This Joint resolution goes de-
cidedly in the right direction.
This Congress is pledged to budg-
ct reform. That the present arrange
ment wastes money, time and oppor-
tunity is admitted by everybody. Con-
gress has started. See that it is
kept moving; write letters; interest
the local press; talk it to your
Enthusiastically Evening Post.

BULLET ENDS SUFFERING

st. Paul Dispatch-A few years ago
George Steckmeyer babe farewell to
his farm near Hudson, Wis, where for
years he had seen the fields of wav-
ing jgrain spring from the rich soil
OF Wisconsin and where, after years
of toll, he had reached the period in
life when he could put aside his farm
tools and go to the city to live.
He came to home at SO East Isa-
bel street in ST. Paul, where he could
spend his days resting latter the long
hours of toll SO necessary in farm
life. He could sit on the pore h
of his new home and dream of the
cows and the horses and the green
fields back on the farm.
But then hi days of rest were broh-
en-. Illness came and for three months
Mr.. Steckmeyer, a victim Of paralysis,
could not read Jor speak. His condit-
ion became worse. On Saturday, as
relatives were 'phoning for a ply
stefan, shot rang out and Mr.. Steck-
meyer was found wounded in the head.
He was taken to the City Hospital,
where, on Sunday, his suffering came
to an end.
Mr.. Steckmeyer, who was 81 years
old, is survived by three sons, Ed
ward, George and Fred, all of st
Paul, and three daughters, Mrs. r.
Bohrer, Lakeland, Mimi, Mrs. Frank
Kissner, Assinabola; Sask., and
Miss Emma Seckmeyer, st. Paul.
