LADEN WITH SP0ILS OF WAR
cninaman Who Worked With Alii,a
Forces in France a Wonderful
Sight When He Returns

Pick and spade heroes OF the Chi.
nese republic. who soldiered SO hard In
france for an allied victory, are re-
turning TO the homeland with the
choice picklngs Of the salvage piles
OF Europe on their backs. The Home
Sector gives this picture OF the re-
turning coolie sports: There are two
obvious signs which make II plain
that great things are stirring In these
hitherto unstirred parts. One of them
literally smites the eye as soon as the
returned warrior steps down the gang
plank OF the coolie transport at Using
tau or Shanghai. Dlzzily arrayed In
the sartorial pickings Of all the earth,
they are fearsome wonder to behold.
American overseas caps and Scottish
kits. French shoes, swagger sticks, a
chasseur hat set rakishly on the ear
and bird cage In hand In the man
ner of the native teahouse. sometimes
even a Sam Brown belt--it Is wild
cubist melange of the costumery and
appurtenances Of all the world and all
times.
"The little children run before then.
In terror, the aged resign themselves
to the coming Of the long-forboded
evil spirits wreaking vengeance for
the joss stick left to 60 out before the
village god"

SUGAR FROM TREE AND FIELD
Years Ago People Got sweetcnino Ma
teriaI From the Maple and the
Watermelon.

AS long ago as 1T01 DR.. Benjamin
Rush put before the Philosophical So
ciety OF Philadelphia an earnest pro-
posal TO use maple sugar, pointing out
that '.for great number of years
many hundred private families in New
York and Pennsylvania have supplied
themselves beautifully with this sugar
during the whole year"
The year before that the United
States had bought over .17,500,Oo0
pounds of brown sugar. and more than
100000 pounds of other varieties from
the West Indies. Seven years after
Doctor Rush made his appeal the
brown sugar importation amounted to
nearly $1,000 900 pounds. and the loaf
sugar exceeded 20.5oo.000 pounds. AT
that time, somebody in Philadelphia
succeeded in obtaining sugar from wa-
termelons. getting half a pint Of strip
by gradually boiling the strained pulp
and Juice of a melon that weighed ii
pounds. This led ]. B. Bordley, an ag-
ricultural writer, TO compute In book
published In 1901 that an acre of wa
termelons would yield SAB worth of
strip.

HOLY CITY NOW FORGOTTEN
Established by Mormons on Island in
Lake Michigan, II Was Of Con-
siderable Importance.

The Wisconsin State Historical So
ciety is preparing a history OF the
Mormons who settled in and around
the state during the middle Of the
nineteenth century The history will
contain much new material concerning
the early Mormons who settled in llli-
nois and built their sacred city OF
Nauvoo, just above Keokuk.
After the death of Joseph Smith,
leader of the Mormons, in 1874, one
OF the claimants to the succession was
James J. Strang of. Burlington, Wis,
who was converted to Mormonism In
1913 by missionaries who came to Bur-
lington. Strang soon gained strong
following and established holy city
at Voree. where his followers made
their headquarters, sent out mission
aries and became successful rivals to
the Brigham Young movement in
Utah.
About 1S49 Strang moved his follow
erS 10 Beaver island in Lake Michigan,
where he built a new sacred city, and
had his headquarters from 1S49 to
1856. The city of st. James was the
most important between Detroit and
Milwaukee, Strang met death at the
hands of two of his followers. He left
no successor, and the Gentiles. profit
ing by the confusion, descended on his
domain and looted 1t. The inhabitants
were forced to leave with such of their
possessions as they could carry, and
were deported by boat to Chicago and
Milwaukee. The church built up by
Strang was thus destroyed. 1t is estl-
mated that Of this branch of the Nor
mons less than two hundred now re-
main.

Stock Show, June 1911

At recent meeting of the farmers
and business men it was decided to
hold the Live Stock Show this year
June 10-11. 1t comes one week later
this year due to the fact that the
National Holstein Sale is to be held
at st. Paul the week before. This
date seemed to meet the approval of
the farmers, because of the fact that
the animals will have been on grass
for some time and will be in nice con-
dition for showing.
Plans for this show are being made
earlier this year than previous years.
A number of features are to be. adj
ded. A premium and souvenir book
is to be published for the show. In
this book will be the names and en-
tries of all of the animals that will be
shown. In addition to this, different
illustrations and write-ups regarding
the live stock industry in this part
of the state are to be featured. A
large number of breeders have al
ready taken advertising space in this
book. 1t is to be a strictly live stock
book, and those getting it up hope to
make it one that will be worth keep
ing. Copies of this book are to sent
to County Agents in this and sur
rounding states calling their atten-
ton to this community as live stock
center, and also to the breeders in the
advertising section.
The Breeders Association in Pierce
and st. Croix counties have usually
held their meetings and picnics sep
arateiy. This year strong effort is
being made and with considerable sue
cess, to induce the Breeders Associ-
ations in the two counties to make
River Falls the place of their annual
meeting, at the time of our stock
show. This will undoubtedly increase
the attendance, and the entries in the
Live Stock Department.
The Pierce County Shorthorl As
ISOLATION is planning to have a sale
of pure bred Shorthorns the last af-
ternoon of the show. This sale will
be a special attraction. The quality
of Shorthorns in this vicinity is well
known, some of the breeders having
had animals in the State sale, at
Madison, this year.
The indications are that this will
be the best show that has been held
and the cooperation of every farm
err and business man in this eomr,un-
ity is desired.

RESOLUTIONS
River Falls Lodge, No. 100, A. F. &M.

River Falls Lodge, No. 100, A. F. & NJ.
Whereas, 1t has pleased our Su-
preme Grand Master to call our
worthy brother, James Hale, from
labor here to rest in the Celestial
Lodge on high; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of
Brother Hale we lose worthy men,
Der of our lodge, just and upright
Mason and good citizen.
Brother Hale departed this life full
of years-ripened with age and ex-
perience; he was worthy and we'll
qualified, and duly and truly prepared
for admission into the Celestial
Lodge above where our Supreme
Grand Master presides; and he will be
properly vouched for by his Lord and
Master, whom he loved and served on
earth.
We sympathize with his widow and
children, and his friends and neigh
bors who mourn his departure; but
we can only remind them that he is
not dead, he is only asleep-resting
after long and well spent life here;
he cannot, and would not if he could,
return to US; we can, if we will, go to
him. Let US so live and perform our
duties here as to insure a joyful re-
union with those who have gone be-
fore, and happy life in the great
hereafter.
