A Headliner on the All Star Vaude-
vile Program at the Normal Audi
torium-The Best Show of the Year.

The Athletic Benefit Vaudeville
Show, which is to be produced Feb.
6 in the Normal school auditorium,
will be one of the snappiest vauds-
vile programs that has ever been
presented in Reiver Falls. Definite
announcement of the program and the
players is to be withheld until the
next issue, but the interest is so
great in the coming event that few
of the leading features of the pro-
gram can be mentioned at this time.
One of the headlines will be a one
act playlet, Bills" which is being
staged by the well-known producer,
Miss Nell Schlosser. The playlet
has a cast of three members, all of
whom are we'll known dramatic stars.
The farce is full of action and life,
and will be we'll worth the price of
admission alone.
Then there will also be a sextette
who will present one of the latest
dance fantasies which has been the
sensation of the state. We do not
claim that this is a second Flora
Dora Sextette, but it is one of ex-
ceptional merit. There will also be
an opportunity to witness two fine
star sparring matches. The first one
will be between two local boys of
talent, and the second between two
men who are champions in their re-
spective classes.
AS was said before, the names are
to be Withheld until next issue.
There will also be famous humor-
list and cartoonist, who will present
an original, mirth-provoking, side
splitting monologue. Other numbers
will be free-for-all dance competi-
ton, and another novelty number of
exceptional merit.
Powers Peerless Orchestra will en-
liven the intervals between acts so
that there will be no dull moments.
Don't forget the date, February 6.
Buy ticket early to avoid the rush.

Features Of the
Agricultural Show
At Normal School
Exhibits


Indications point to a large exhibit
of poultry. There" are a number of
good flocks around River Falls, and
it seems assured that there will be
fine display of poultry. The ex-
hibits of corn and grains will doubt
less be large, since this community
has always grown considerable of
good seeds.
The Tractor School
The tractor school will begin on
Tuesday, Feb. 3, and continue four
days. 1t is believed that farmers
will take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to get practical instruction
and practice in gas engine and tract
or operation. Men have been secur-
er who have had years of experience
in this work. The meetings will be
held in the barracks building at the
Normal, and will begin at 1870 p. m.
each day. A number of tractors will
be in the building, which will be of
assistance in giving the work. The
discussions will be as follows:
Observation-Disclosures Principles
Observation-Disclosures
DISQUALIFICATION
Friday-Oil Systems
On Friday representatives from the
Case, Fordson, International, Avery,
Samson, and other tractor companies
will be on hand This will provide
an opportunity for men to get special
help on their particular tractor.
Dyeing Demonstration
One of the features of the meet
ings will be dyeing demonstration
arranged by three girls from Ellis
worth. These girls won first place
in an interstate contest held recently
at Sioux City, II. These young lad
les have been making a great hit
with this demonstration, and the
women will no doubt be interested
in seeing this. 1t will be given in the
Normal Auditorium Friday afternoon
Feb. 9th, at 2:30.
Poultry Culling Demonstration
There will be a poultry culling
demonstration Thursday evening at
eight o'clock in the gymnasium.
Methods will be shown how to select
hens that will lay eggs, in this dem
onstration.
Educational Exhibits
In addition to the exhibits in the
gymnasium, a number of education
al exhibits are being arranged. These
will include pot cultures of alfalfa,
showing the effects of the different
methods of treatment on the growth.
Fertilizer tests with the crops grow
ing will be exhibited in pots. There
will be about eight different exhibits
which will have an educational value,
and will also be interesting to see.
The gymnasium will be open in the
day time and both evenings.

"HILL TRAILS & OPEN SKY"

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found an announcement of Harry
Noyes Pratt's latest book of verse.
"Hill Trails &, Open Sky"
In the West the name of Harry
Noyes Pratt has become famous
the leading dailies in the great Pa
cific Coast cities have devoted col
umns to reviews Of his literary work.
and the literary critics have given
him wonderful praise.
River Falls may feel justly proud
that Harry Moves Pratt is native
of this city-that this is the COM
munity in which he spent his youth;
that here lies the inspiration for
many of the poetic gems which have
brought him fame.
His poems are moulded for uni
versal appreciation-there is fault
less form in their composition, depth
of thought and feeling that the stu
dent and critic will appreciate and
admire, yet couched in such direct
understandable manner that even
those who saint no time nor hank
erin fer poems an sech like" cannot
help but enjoy every one of them.
Besides the excellence of the verse
itself, the artistic way in which the
book is printed and bound makes il
an attractive addition to the library
River Falls should show it's appre.
citation of Harry Moves Pratt by ar
eager demand for his splendid liter
ary work.

c. A. BECKWITH AND BROTHER
BUY BARRON GROCERY STORE

The following item from the Bar
ron County News-Shield tells of a
business venture into which c. A.
Beckwith, now a clerk at the j. w.
Allard store, has gone with his
brother Pardee at Barron:
Another business change was con-
cluded this week when the Beckwith
brothers, Cliff and Pardee, purchased
the grocery stock and fixtures from
John Jensen. They took possession of
the business Monday with Pardee in
charge of the business for the pres
ent
The Beckwitn brothers, who take
over the business started early last
spring by Mr.. Jensen, were born and
raised in Barron. Both young men
have had business experience and
have ample capital to back them in
their business. Besides this they have
reputation for honesty and indust-
ry which is worth even more to them
than money. The combination is one
that speaks success for the boys from
the start.
Cliff is now employed in large
store at River Falls, but it is under
stood that he will return to Barron
to take an active part in the business
as soon as his affairs can be arranged
In the meantime Pardee will have
full charge of the business.

Normal Convention
At Madison Attracts
Wide Attention

The big meeting at Madison of the
faculties of the normal schools of the
state calls attention to the needs of
education in Wisconsin. The public
schools depend upon the normal
schools for teachers. There is a
shortage of teachers in nearly every
county in the state. Salaries in the
public schools are being advanced
rapidly IN order to hold teachers, but
in spite of this the shortage is more
acute every day.
The enrolment in the normal
schools is twenty-five per cent under
what it was in 1917. The number
preparing to teach is less today than
it has been in five years. In the Riv-
er Falls normal school the attend
ance is slightly above last year and
the year before. This is due to the
number of men-bonus students
chiefly-who are in attendance but
who are not preparing to teach but
are taking work in preparation for
college courses. The number of stu
dents preparing for teaching is very
much below what it has been in re-
cent years.
The normal schools are crippled in
many of their activities by lack of
funds. The appropriations for the
current year are about the same in
amount as were used by the schools
six years ago. Every form of activ-
ity has been cut. Schools are not
able to carry on extension work-ad-
vertising is not possible with in
creased cost of printing, ETC.; teach
ers are not able to visit schools in
their territory, and thus in every way
the schools are being crippled and
shorn of their influence. In order to
keep pace with increased demands
the schools need equipment and in
creased facilities. Under the pres
sure of war economy the schools have
made no improvements with the con-
sequence that they are falling behind.
1t is due to such reasons as these
that the marked falling off in at
tendance is seen in the normal schools
of the state. Many of the best men
of the faculties are leaving to better
positions.
This week a leading member OF the
Stevens Point faculty accepted
the superintendency at Fon du Lac
at $1,000 advance over his salary in
the normal school. Eau Claire lost
a valuable man this month to the
superintendent at Monroe at an ad-
vance of $7O0. Funds are not avail
able to attract strong men and wom-
en- to positions in the normal schools
and unless relief is afforded the nor
NAL schools are going into a period
of decline which will put them back
where they were fifteen or twenty
years ago in attendance and in cir
cumscribed influence in the state, and
with their decline will deteriorate
the teaching in the public schools,
which is really the important consid-
Grafton. The education and training
of our children should be in competent
hands-must be in competent hands.
