WACO PAUSES TO RENDER HON.
AGE TO SAM SANGER.

Probably the largest gathering that
ever assembled here for similar &C.
casion gathered recently at Temple
Rodef Sholom for the funeral of Sam
Sanger. The auditorium and the gal
lery of the synagogue were entirely
inadequate. Many were standing in the
edifice, and many more remained on
the outside, unable to gain admission
to the temple.
Deserved Tribute from DR.. Macht
DR.. Wolfe Macht, rabbi of Congre-
cation Rodef Sholom, conducted the
funeral service. In his euology Of Mr..
Sanger, he said in part:
Sometimes, on the bosom of the
tossed ocean, we see a stretch
of water, placid and serene, and in
the midst of troubled surroundings,
the one whose memory we honor here
today preserved his tranquility. In
this eager, everyday life Of ours, his
life was lived in the world of relig-
ion; it was replete with religious beau
ty and heavenly joy. One who was vir-
tuous and wise and well proportional
has gone to receive the reward for his
work on this earth; he has been sum-
moned by the angel of death to a we'll
earned rest. He rendered a distinguish
ed service to Israel and to humanity,
and in the great book, the soul Of our
beloved friend will shine conspicuous
ly.
81 consider myself privileged to
have had an insight into this mans
life, to get glimpse of his wisdom,
his patience, too, in trials and tribu-
lations, his reverence for God and his
high conception Of duty, and every
one of these qualities was in ample
evidence in his daily life.
"He dealt with his employees as
men, not as hands or machines. II
the labor question was handled in the
manner in which this good man han
died it, we would have fewer social
and economic troubles in our country.
"His was a deeply religious life,
and he was ever conscius Of his duty.
His patriotism knew no bounds, and
his love Of country and his city were
manifested in his daily life. He was
fired with zeal to aid in setting the
world in order, and shortly after
reaching mans estate he began
preaching the doctrine Of righteous
ness and justice. Later, when he began
his mercantile career, his preachment
became the vital dominating force Of
his life, for he practiced both right

HAD FINE TRIP

Mr. and Mrs. Frank n. Fuller and
son William and Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Fuller returned home Saturday from
a weeks auto trip to Bemidji, Mimi.
where they visited at the, home of
Fred Chamberlain, former resident
of this city.
They report that they found the
crops along the way not as good as
those in this vicinity; corn was es-
pecially backward, in some places not
more than knee high, and farmers
were already digging their potatoes,
not daring to leave them longer
They have had no rain in that section
for nearly two months.
The farms, however, showed pros
pertiy-bnildings in splendid shape
and lots of pure-bred stock.
The scenery along the route was
beautiful, and they were especially
delighted with visit to Lake Itasca.
The roads were in the main real good,
and the trip was very pleasant one
in every respect. Will Fuller did the
"chauffering" all the way out and
back.

High School Notes

School will begin next Tuesday at
S:45. There will be no school Mon
day, except that all high school stu
dents who do not find it possible to
enroll this week may do so Monday.
There are several cases of small
pox in town and no doubt there are
some that have not been reported.
Everyone should feel share in the
responsibility for the control of this
disease.
In every case where there has been
any recent sickness in the family, the
matter should be reported to the
family physician before sending the
children to school. Anyone knowing
of any suspicious cases which have
not been reported should feel it his
duty to the school and to the city to
report the same to DR.. Gallup, Health
Officer, or to Mr.. Davee, Sqperin-
tendent of Schools, before school be-
gins.

CAN'T GET CEMENT

Work on the new dam at the upper
electric power plant is at standstill
on account of the fact that the con-
tractor cannot get cement, and there
will be nothing more done on it this
season. 1t is hoped that work may
be resumed early next spring and
that the structure may be completed
during the summer.
The City Council has made every
effort to secure material, and tried to
enlist the aid of the State Railroad
Commission, but aside from monster
stack of correspondence nothing was
achieved. There appears to be a
combination of some sort which di-
reefs the allotment of cement only to
certain contractors, and while the
chosen few seem to have no difficulty
in filling their orders, those outside
the favored circle are out of luck. At
enc time five carloads of cement were
headed this way, but mysterious

shipment and it was sent elsewhere.
The City is also having some diff
Guilty with it's order for the big iron
sluice and flume gates. 1t was es-
timated that the two of them would
cost about $500 and that they could
be secured in short time. 1t is
found, however, that each will cost
$500, and that if ordered at once it
will be months before delivery can be
made.
The City is fortunate that the old
dam is in condition to hold out, barr
ing accident, for season or more,
for the light and power system would
be badly crippled, to say the least, if
it was necessary to shut down the
upper plant until the new dam could
be built.

NEW EQUIPMENT INSTALLED

A complete outfit for reboring cyl
inders, turning lathe, an emery
wheel, ETC., all operated by h. p
motor have been installed in the base
nent workshop Of the Jensen & Hal
sted garage the past week. The re-
unainder of the basement of the new
garage will be devoted to the moto,
repair department, paint shop, store
room and testing bench for generator
ignition and magnetic work.
The floor on the Main street leve
win be used for display room, sales
department, stock room and wash
room.
The floor above will be used TO,
dancing, and will be provided with
toilets and check rooms. There also
will be balcony for spectators, with
lunch counter and club rooms.
There has been some talk of Co
"a" leasing the upper floor for It's
armory, but no such arrangement has
as yet been completed.

TO PLAY CARLETON

The first big game of the Normal
schools football schedule this fall
will be played with Carleton College
at Mortified, Mimi, Oct. 2. If ar
rangements can be made, a game will
be played here a couple of weeks
earlier with one of the stronger high
school teams of the neighborhood.
Owing to the advance in railroad
fare and hotel rates the expense con-
nected with Eat home" games is going
to be serious problem this season,
and to secure a good schedule of
games here the fans will have to give
loyal support.
Work on the new gridiron in Ramer
Field is going ahead rapidly, and the
ground will be in readiness for the
opening of the season.

In Memory of Grandma Mapes

Over the river of life,
A dear one has passed away,
Out of sorrow and strife
And into a better day.
We weep of her departure
We mourn because she's not here.
We're glad her life is ended,
Her spirit is very near.
Days of toll and sorrow
Passed her brow in life,
Thoughts of happiness and grief
In this world of strife.
She is through with life and sickness
No more will her heart beat with
life.
But over the River of Jordan
She's living in happiness
Well weep no more for her
We must all pass some day,
Over his River of Jordan,
And into a better day.

Company "A Notes

Regular drill Monday evening
Owing to the press of threshing and
other work, the necessary 50ee OF the
company were not present and BUSH
ness meeting could not be held. An
extra effort will be made to secure
the attendance of the necessary SOC
next week so an election of officers
can be held and Constitution and
Bylaws adopted.
Although there were not enough
present to go on with the business
of incorporation, several matters of
interest to the company were brought
up for discussion and settled to the
entire satisfaction of all members
present.
The meeting was opened with a
few remarks by chaplain" Dodge,
after which the discussion became
general. The devastating effects of
matrimony upon the ranks of the
company was called to the attention
of the meeting, and a unanimous re-
solution passed requiring any member
of the company who thereafter enter
ted into matrimony to furnish cigars
for the company. Then, not wishing
any of the members to feel sighted,
it was voted to make the resolution
retroactive, so as to include Messrs.
Verne Nopp and John LINER. There
will be smokes for everybody at drill
next week, for the penalty for a
failure to comply with this resolution
is a charivari by the entire company.
Watch for the excitement!
Lieut.. Dawson left on the late train
from Hudson Monday night for Madi-
son to personally take up the matter
of a Rifle Range with the Adjutant
General. He hopes to get an allow
ance for the necessary work, and to
have the targets and frames issued
to the company early in September.
The khaki uniforms which the
company wore at Camp Douglas have
all been cleaned and were returned
to the boys Monday evening. Sgt.
Bill Oligney is to be congratulated
on the fine job done by the Cooper
alive Laundry in the cleaning of the
uniforms.
Former LIST Class Private Douglas
Allard has returned to our city for a
short visit. He came up to the
Armory after drill Monday night and
unhesitatingly announced that the
first thing he would do, if his stay
here were to be at all permanent,
would be to join Co. "a" again.
A boost for Co. "A" is boost for
River Falls. Let's all be boosters.

TROUT SEASON CLOSED

The trout fishing season closed
Tuesday night. The Kinnickinnic has
furnished some grand sport for the
Waltonians this summer, and some
fine catches have been made. Many
of the large trout caught We're not
brought to the judges of the local
prize contest for measurement, but
several grand snecimens were, as the
following list will show.
The largest, trout measured by the
judges weighed 5 pounds, is ounces,
and was caught on bait by Victor
Bennett. Vic also landed one weigh
ing pounds, Ia ounces, but the con-
test, as we understand it, allowed but
one entry from each angler. Mr..
Bennett wins a pair of waders, donat-
ed by the Stewart Mercantile Co.
Atty. ]. H. Grimm won hat prize,
offered by the Walter Johnson store,
for the largest trout caught on the
opening day of the season. Mr..
Grimm's fish weighed 4 pounds, A
ounces.
Leroy Collins gets the So fishing
tackle set at the Freeman Drug Co.
store. His fish weighed 8 pounds, A
ounces.
Fred Pomeroy wins the creel at
Taggart's, with an entry weighing 2
pounds, 121sounces.
Max Sherburne wins the Martin
reel offered by the Lund store for the
largest trout caught on a fly-4
pounds, 6 ounces. Max also landed
one weighing 3 pounds, Is ounces.
The above weights were taken from
the official record, but technical points
in angling that we wot not of may
alter the awards, as the judges,
Messrs. C. f. Nelson, r. Osborn and
r. L. Hurd, have not, at this writing,
sat in council nor uttered their ultim-
alum.

cred. A true and noble woman has
been called to her home above.

Women May Vote
For Every Candidate
Ladies' VIII be Represented on Elec-
ton Boards-Estimated That
Over 500 May Vote In This
City, Bringing Total Poll
To Over 1000

All women, citizens of the United
States, twenty-one years or over, who
shall have resided in the state for
one year, and in the city 10 days pre-
ceding election, may vote at the pri-
maries next Tuesday, September z,
under the same conditions as the men.
The women have long been striving
for equal rights at the polls; now they
have the opportunity of showing ap-
probation of their victory.
They may vote for every Office,
from sheriff up, and as there are, on
the Republican ticket, so many OPP
portunities for using judgment in
the selection of candidates, this is an
ideal time for the women to go to the
polls and 'learn the ropes"
To make the ladies feel more at
home" in the River Falls election
rooms the City Council will appoint
three women on each election board
an inspector, an election clerk and a
ballot clerk will be chosen from
among the lady voters for each pre-
cinct. The ladies need not feel timid
about going to the polls for there will
be ladies on the board to take their
ballots and to give them whatever in
struction on the technical matters of
voting that they may require.
1t is estimated that there are about
$50 women eligible to vote in this
city. There are also about that num-
Der of men voters, so that if full
vote is polled the total would be in the
neighborhood of 100 votes for the
two precincts of River Falls.
