his eyes with his hand and stared
straight into The zenith. A minute or
more he remained thus, the human

choked. 4 policeman showed his way

with an enrolment of one hundred
ffty-eight, the largest first day
registration in the history of the
school. Work began in dead earnest
right from the jump.
1t is hoped that all students who
must enter late will register not later
than next Monday. Late corners will
find it very difficult to make up back
work.
The High school offers an oppor-
tunity for adult students to enter and
take work in stenography, typewrit-
ing, Spanish and some other subjects.

Eight race horses from River Falls
appeared on the program at the Rice
county fair at Fairbault, Mimi, last
week. They made a good showing.
River Falls got some fine advertising
out of the fact of having sent these
horses out, and they are making more
advertising for the city by appearing
in several other fairs in this neigh
borhood. In appreciation the people
of this city should at least be willing
to support the Matinee Clubs local
activities whenever the opportunity
affords.
Compared with the dread OF an
increase of few mills on the dollar
of taxes, a competent school system
means nothing to the voters OF the
Hammond district; the stencil and
infection of open sewers are prefer
able to new sewer system at Els
worth. and the saving of life and the
convenience of community hospltaI
isn't worth financial consideration to
this community. Each Of these pro-
iects, voted upon at special elections
the past summer, is worthy one,
and will sooner or later be adopted.
But, like Burt Williams in his song,
the voters say, its gotta be done by
somebody else; not me!'
