LOOKING BACKWARD
BY WILLIAM r. SHIELDS

l love to think of days in camp, when
early in the morn
/ family heard-and deeply Fcursed--theE
bugler's raucous horn;
l sit and dream of training days whenGI
would hike and drll. - ~
And learn a thousand fancy ways the
subtle poche to KILL
And often from the field I'd trudge with
sweat upon my brow:
l love to lie in bed and think, I needn't
do it now.
love 20 think of .days-and nghts-when
in the snow and rain
l stood on guard and froze my feet and
almost went insane;
l love to think of slushy days when on
my sturdy back
I'd tote through Frances sticky mud a
hefty army pack;
And oft at night I'd hunt berth in
some chilly NOV; ...-..-. ..s.-.--.----..
l love to lie in bed and think, I needn't
do 1t now.
All we'll; "the moving finger writes, and,
having writ, moves on"
Those days (alasD will ne'er return-they
are forever gone
The time has passed when l was wont
to stick the husky Hun:
I'm just a drab civilian, boil miss the
20 old time fun; 80.
But still l don't feel very blue: I kiss my
loving frau,
And lie in bed. and thank my stars I'm
not soldier now.

OBSERVATION BALLOON PAYS
BURkHARDT COSTLY VISIT

An army observation balloon from
the signal station in Oklahoma made
a rather disasterous landing in the
vicinity of Burkhardt about 2 o'clock
last Saturday afternoon. Finding
their supply of gas to be diminishing
the baloonists let out their anchor to
make a landing, but before the big
bag could be brought to stop the
anchor had caught and shorted the
wires from the Burkhardt power plant
and also torn off strip of the high
tension power line of the Minnesota
Wisconsin company.
There were four passengers in the
basket, but none was seriously injur-
ed in the rather rough landing which
was finally negotiated. All returned
to Oklahoma, leaving Hudson that
evening, accompanied by the balloon.
The shorting of the wires burned
out switch boards, dynamos and trans
formers all along the Burkhardt Cos.
line, leaving Hudson, Baldwin, Ham
mond and Woodville without service.
The operator at the Burkhardt plant
was rendered unconscious when the
short sent the Juice" back into the
plant, but is said to be about recover
ed. At Hudson they are getting their
old steam power plant back into oper-
alton again and by its means to gen.
crate enough power for at least the
-city's lights. 1t is expected that the
work of repairing the Burkhardt plant
and system will not be completed for
at least four weeks, and it may pos
sibly take longer.

NOTED TEACHER PASSES AWAY

(From Pasadena Star-News, 1922, '20)
Warren d. Parker, a noted East
ern educator who has lived in Pasa-
dena, retired, since July, 1907, died
last night at his home, 1911 North
Ell Molino avenue. Three weeks
ago he returned from San Diego, hav-
ing been told that he was afflicted
with an incurable illness. He at once
set about putting his house in order,
telling his friends that he had receiv-
ed his death sentence. Last night the
end came. He was cheerful to the
last in the face of inevitable death.
He leaves widow here. He was a
cousin of the late Ella Wheeler Will
cox.
Professor Parker was born at Brad
ford, VT, September 26, 1889. At the
age of Is his family moved to James,
vile, Wis, where he completed a
high school course and at once en-
tered upon his life work with the
zeal and ambition of a youth of 20.

ANOTHER REASON
For A Community Hospital

In the consideration of hospital for
this community, there are the many
reasons to be given for its erection
that any provident, generous and pub
lie minded people could give. But the
location of a state Normal school in
our midst creates a situation that
makes the desirability for this oppo,
tunity of caring for the sick an es-
pecially urgent one. Four hundred
young men and women are away from
their own homes and are living in the
homes of the River Falls citizens.
Thirty or more faculty members are
similarly situated. One hundred
twenty-five homes of this city are
housing this school group, the num-
Der of students in each home ranging
from one to twelve. In case of illness
this foreign population is dependent
upon the generosity and kindness of
the householders for care. Inconven-
fences and discomfort to both parties
may be the result of this inadequate
provision for the care of these school
people living in our city nine or more
months of the year.
The Normals competitors, the
neighboring state Normal schools,
have made capital of there being no
hospital in our city and have advised
prospective students to attend schools
located in places where there are hos
pital privileges.
In times of contagion great concern
on the part of the school people is
engendered. In the past the school
has closed it's doors because it dared
not assume the responsibility of keep
ing these students here with made
quate equipment to care for them in
case many were ill.

No Charge to Exchange
Liberty Loan Bonds

Uncle Sam makes no charge for
the exchange of temporary into per-
manent Liberty bonds. The temper
airy ones may be surrendered through
banks and trust companies and for
warded by them to the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Chicago. The new
bonds will be delivered at the expense
of the United States. This official an
nouncement was made by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago that the
Liberty bond holders might know that
they do not have to pay anything to
the banks for exchanging the bonds
for them. The exchange of bonds
started March 15.
In the Seventh Federal Reserve
District there are outstanding $780,
100000 of the third loan bonds, dated
May 9, 1918, and maturing Septemb-
Ell Is, 1928. To this issue there were
close to 3,450,OOO individual subscrib-
ers. On and after April / the Re-
serve\bank expects to have sufficient
supplies of the permanent bonds of
the first and second 4s and first and
second 41as to go around. OF these
four classes there are outstanding in
this district about $51s,000, 900 worth.
The first 4s represent conversions
of the first 315 per cent Liberty loan
bonds to the 4 per cent bonds of the
second Liberty Loan. There is every
advantage in converting these to the
Az per cent bonds of the third Lib
erty Loan, as they retain their origi-
nal maturity dates. The first as
have been without an interest coupon
since last December; the second 4s
since November. This interest will
be fully adjusted on the exchange in
to permanent bonds.

MANY NEW SUBSCRIBERS BEING
ADDED TO LOCAL EXCHANGE

s+ E be4
At it's present rapid pace of growth
the local telephone exchange of the
Pierce County Telephone Company
will soon surpass all former records
in its total number of phones. At
present there are LOTT phones served
direct from the local exchange, all To-
Gated within a radius Of ten miles of
River Falls. Of this number, SIG are
in the city limits, while SCI are on the
forty-eight rural lines. Eight operat-
ors handle the calls Of this exchange
during the three eight-hour shifts Of
each day, three girls being on duty
each shift.
Few people realize the number of
calls attended to at this exchange, nor
the great amount of other work nee
essary to keep the service up. The
average number of general calls dur
day is 1902, and a good share of
those calls are punched" during GER
tain rush" hours. The fire alarm
always brings on rush of calls-on
the day that C.. A. Smiths house on
Cascade ave. burned, Feb. %, the to-
tai number of calls ran up to 1876.
The other exchanges of this COM
pany are, Ellsworth, 754 phones; Rob-
erts, 164, and Spring Valley, 146,
making total of 2141 phones on the
four exchanges.
Following is list of phones which
have been added to the River Falls
exchange since the last book was is

appraised the eight blocks desired at
$4,000 and allowed damages In the

that appeal will be made from the
appraisment and the condemnation
proceedings.
Plated by Conrad Weisssnhsr9sr.
The eight blocks sought by the
school district are q part Of the
original town of Laurel, which was
plated by Conrad Wsissenberger
and which have been in the Weissen-
berger estate for years.
Only the heirs of the Weissen-
berger estate are interested In the
condemnation proceedinxs altho nj
one time during the. preliminary
hearings there was q possibility tina.
the town Of Laurel might be involv-
ed because Of the question arising as
to the vacation of certain streets and
alleys.
All possibility of three cornered
contest disappeared. however, when
the report of the referees showed no
effort to consider the city property
in the condemnation proceedings.
Streets May DO Vacated.
It has been said by Laurel resi-
dents that should the necessity aris'
for the vacation of the streets such
action may be expected without coz
troversy as the streets never have
been used and, In fact, never have
been laid out. The streets ana
alleys in question traversed the
plated tract Of the Weissenbsrser
estate.
1t is not known whether the Weis-
senberger heirs will accept the ap-
praised value or will carry the case
to the district court.
