A FINE SHOW

The Firemen's benefit movie show,

cess in every particular. The play
itself was Q fine one, and was greatly
appreciated by all who attended. The
morning performance was attended
by only 10; the afternoon matinees
found the house just comfortably fill
ed for each show; the evening crowds
started coming about $3.50 and the
first rush filled the theatre for the
first show; the patrons of the first

through the crowd which was waiting
to go for the second, and so many
were still left out after the second
show started that it was necessary to
run a third evening show at 10 o'clock
and the house was again packed.
Quite a number, after failing to get
in to the first two evening shows,
went home rather than wait for the

RIVER FALLS CAR WINS
IN NEW RICHMOND RACES

Nash touring car, strictly stock
model, made a clean sweep of the
race program held in New Richmond
last Sunday. Herm Halsted of River
Falls drove the Nash against two
special built, 16-valve racing cars, and
although the arrangements. were
made with an eye to favoring the New
Richmond entries, Herm. had no diff
Guilty in making the others look very
amateurish before the close of the
runs.
Halsted was accompanied in the
Nash car by Byron Stevenson, who,
despite the fact that he is still using
a cane to favor leg which was brok-
en- in a mighty auto smash just few
weeks ago, calmly coached the driver
by keeping the track of the other rae
ers, and was continually urging full
steam ahead.
The races in which the River Falls
car was entered were five-mile events,
and the Nash averaged a mile min
ute on the course. Three races were
staged between the Nash and the two
16-valve specials, the Nash winning
each race.
Side-line remarks regarding the
abilities of other cars and other driv-
ers presented the River Falls driver
to issue a challenge to race any car
with any driver there, but none show
ed the slightest inclination to accept.
The program was a very good one,
and was greatly enjoyed. One of the
drivers in Ford race lost control of
his car and ran it through the fence,
suffering a slight injury to his knee.
There were no other accidents.

City Team Wins
Opening Game Shows New 0rganiza-
ton to Have Powerful Punch
Visitors Light But Game
The Bubbles, of St. Paul,
VIII Play Here Next
Sunday

The River Falls City football team
played their first game last Sunday,
at the Race Track grounds, and al
though pitted against very much
lighter aggregation, showed that with
little more practice they will be on
par with the best of the independ-
ents. The Bubbles team, which comes
here next Sunday, Oct. 81, have been
strengthened by new talent since
their defeat at Hudson a couple of
weeks ago, and are now rated one of
the most formidable elevens the
Sunday circuit. The game next Sun
day will be grand exhibition.
The Mendoza, Mimi, A. c. team,
which played here last Sunday was
light but game aggregation. They
were into every play, and fighting
from start to finish, and although
beaten AZ to 0, they were by no means
disgraced, for they were up against
heavy odds in weight and experience.
The team work of the locals was
rather ragged at times, but as indivi-
duals, the River Falls player showed
the old time snap that classed them as
stars of their school teams.
The River Falls lineup last Sunday
was as follows: F. Symes, fb.; L.
Kay and E. Wigen, hb.; A. Morrow,
OBJ; D. Smith and " Manion, ends;
F. Lowell and Segerstrom, tackles; A.
Dodge and P. Pace, guards, and Capt.
H. Clark at center. Knight was sub
stituted for Manion, Stafford for
Pace, and Dodge and Segerstrom
were shifted at guard and tackle dur
ing the game.
Two new players will appear next
Sunday, Chuck Hunter, who will have
a try at end, and Stan. Chinook, who
excells in passing the ball.
The local management is making a
very commendable start in its manner
of staging the games, keeping an
alert guard on the side-lines and in
sisting that the field be kept clear.
Next Sundays game is sure to be
a good one. 1t will start promptly at
2:30. Plan to be there-at the Race
Track grounds.

THE FARMER CANDIDATE
(By p. w. Ramer)

Authority tells us that the farmer
in this country gets one sixth of what
the consumer pays for his products
and that in Holland the farmer gets
nine tenths of what the consumer
pays for his products. 1t is quite
evident that the gap between the pro-
Queer and the consumer is bigger
than can be justified by fairness. 1t
indicates that there are too many
holdups while products are passing
through that big mysterious middle
mans field.
We notice that the press that de-
nounces the farmer for making some
efforts to rectify this admitted wrong
are the same ones that have fought
every reform that the people have
ever gotten or worked for. They
fought the election of u. S. Senator's
for 81 years; they fought the income
tax for II years; they fought the
Regional bank system and the Farm
Loan bank to the last ditch. The
saloon keeper, the brewer, and the
distiller fought no harder to protect
their selfish interests at the expense
of the American home than have the
people and press that are now fight
ing the farmers.
River Falls is a little city that is
supported entirely by the farmers
who cannot help but note which side
the city people are on when it comes
to voting for or against their inter
ests. We are on the list as a strong
Republican district. We have Re
publican as candidate for governor
whom the farmers have endorsed on
account of his sympathies with the
farmers interests and we have
candidate on the Democratic ticket
that is denouncing Blaine for his in
terests and sympathy for the farmer.
1t is true they direct the fight under
ether names but hasn't this same
press and people fought every reform
by misleading statements? We should
not forget that the big daily news
papers get their support from selling
their influence to the business man;
the subscribers pay little if any more
than the cost of the paper used.
1t makes more difference to the
farmers of this state who the Cover
nor is than it makes who the Presi-
dent of the United States is. Can we
expect the farmers to cooperate with
the business men of this city if they
fight the farmers at the poles?
The only criticism of Blaine is that
the farmers have endorsed him. His
opponents say he endorsed the Non
Partisan League but have you any
proof of this except by his opponents :?
Aren't those the tactics used by that
class in fighting every reform? The
proof of where our sympathy lies is
in our vote.
