HAS CHARGE OF DRY GOODS
DEPT. AT STEWART NERO
ANTILE COMPANY STORE

The Dry Goods Department at the
Stewart Mercantile Company store is
now under the experienced manage
ment of Mr.. A. Hardyment, who
comes here with the highest recon-
mendations from former employers
for whom he had held similar posi-
tions in some of the leading stores
in the Northwest.
Mr.. Hardyment, who is a native OF
England, came to this country at the
age of twenty. He had served an ap-
premiership in one of the great stores
of that country, and upon his arrival
here took position in the Golden
Rule store at ST. Paul, serving as as
sistant manager. He has also held
like positions in the T. Eaton Co.
store at Winnipeg, Cam, and the De
Lendracie Co. store at Fargo, N. d.
He has also had experience as trav-
cling salesman, for the Nonotuck Silk
Co. of st. Paul.
At the outbreak of the World War
Mr.. Hardyment joined the Canadian
army, and was in France with the 18th
Battery for three years and seven
months. Upon receiving his honor
able discharge, he returned to st.
Paul.
The Stewart Mercantile Co. feel
highly gratiied at their good fortune
in securing so capable man to take
charge of their dry goods departments
and their advertising and window dis
plays, and they urge their patrons to
come in and get acquainted.

Stout Institute
Takes The Count
st. Paul A. C's Here Saturday

The Red & White put another little
clincher into their claim for the title
last Friday evening by drubbing the
Stout quint for the second time. 1t
was fast game at the start, but as
soon as the locals got into their stride
it become altogether too fast for the
visitors, who were completely be-
wildered and stood about almost pa
thetically while Reed, Carolan, Rice,
Kruger, Morrow, and, toward the last
a nearly new lineup of subs, shot at
in and about the basket. The final
tally was AZ to IA.
Tomorrow night the Red & White
go to Eau Claire for their return
game, and next week Stevens Point
will be here for the final bout of the
Northern circuit race.
Local fans are not to be without
a game for the weekend, however,
for on Saturday night the crack A.
c. team of st. Paul will be here, and
River Falls fans know that there is
a fast, clever game to be seen when
these two teams meet.

past, should be left. The answer is
that death is no respecter of persons
nor class.
Floyd lived in River Falls the first
twenty years of his life; from that
time until the present he has made
his place o. abode Minneapolis, COM
ing to his home town from time to
time to see his parents and sister.
His sunny disposition, his affability
and good cheer made him desirable
companion which socn developed into
lasting friendship. His employers
here and elsewhere speak Of him as
honest, efficient, trustworthy and al
together reliable in whatever he un-
dertook to do. His exemplary conduct
inspired respect and confidence in him
as man.
At the time of his death he was a
Special Policeman in Minneapolis and
bore on his person letters OF intro
duction to the Pasadena police, be-
speaking confidence and courteous
consideration.
He was joined in wedlock May 10,
1911, to Blanche DeCourcey OF Min
neapolis. To them were born two
children, Marjorie and Floyd William.
Floyd was a faithful husband and
a fond father and after nine years
of happy welded life his call came.
What can we say to this wife, moth
err, widow, in this hour of great sor-
row. We can only say to her to lean
heavily on the arm of her Heavenly
Father and trust in His promises. For
He that tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb will never leave her nor
forsake her.
To his parents, who have lost an
only son, and his sister, an only
brother, the old friends will mingle
their tears with theirs and remind
them that as time is measured in
years the parting cannot be long and
the meeting will be eternal.
Funeral services were held at the
residence of his parents Monday, Feb.
16, at 1880 p. M, conducted by Rev.
J. o. Thrush. Interment was made IN
Greenwood cemetery.

Word was received here of the death
of Mr.. w. F. Kellogg which occurred
at his home in Spokane, Wash. Feb
End. after an illness of about two
months. His illness, however. had
not appeared serious and he was about
the house as usual the morning OF his
death, but after breakfast he had
complained Of pain, went to his room
and in a few moments had passed
away.
Although eighty-four years old ne
was mentally and physically alert and
active to the last, and took an espec-
ial interest in events as chronicaied
in the daily papers which ne read
without the use of glasses.
Mr.. Kellogg was born in New York
September 3, 1910, and came to River
Falls in 1877. He married Miss M.
A. Wright, who preceded HIM IN
death. They are survived by two
daughters.
Funeral services were held at the
Spokane Epworth M. E. church, OF
which he was a charter member, ana
the remains were laid to rest beside
those of his wife in the Fairmont ceni~
etery.
All of the older residents OF this
city will remember this kindly old
gentlemen who presided for so many
years at his little studio which was
located at the corner of the lot now
occupied by the Stewart Mercantile
Co. store, and there are probably few
if any of our people of that day who
have not at one time or another either
had their photo taken by him or APP
peared in group picture which ne
took.
Here as we'll as in his late home he
made a host of friends, all Of whom
unite in sympathy for the bereaved
daughters. He was an especial fav-
orite among the children, OF whom he
was very fond.

River Falls went "over the top" in
fine style last week in it's campaign
for a National Guard Company. Sew
eral more than the required number
of recruits were secured, and the Com
pany was inspected and accorded Fed
eral recognition last evening.
River Falls is now the station for
Company "A" Of the First Wisconsin
Motor Supply Train. Ours was the
first city in the state to qualify for
Motor Supply Company, so River
Falls has been accorded the distinct
ion of having its Company designat-
ed as "a" Company. A number OF
other cities in the state have been
working for the distinction Of having
the first company in this new organi-
cation, but through the fine work OF
DR.. Dawson and those who have been
helping him in the campaign for re-
cruits, River Falls has been able to
outdistance all her rivals and to Sc
cure the coveted position.
Our neighbor, the city of Hudson,
has for a great many years been the
station for a National Guard Co., not
a few of the recruits for which have
come from River Falls. Several
months ago a movement was begun in
New Richmond to try and secure
National Guard unit for that city. so
far neither Hudson or New Richmond
has succeeded in completing the quo
ia required of them under the re-or-
ganization plans of the war depart
ment for National Guard Units.
Last evening, at 7:30, the River
Falls Company was formally muster
ed into the service by Captain Ball,
Federal Inspecting Officer for the
State of Wisconsin. Although Nat
ional Guard unit has never before
been stationed in our city, the people
of River Falls are alive to the adj
vantages of having such an organiza-
ton located here and their hearty
support during the campaign for re-
cruits has enabled us to qualify
ahead of either of the neighboring
cities of Hudson or New Richmond.
Captain Ball congratulated Lieut..
Dawson and his company very highly
on the fine appearance made by them
at the inspection. He said that they
were the most clean-cut and vigorous
bunch of men that he had inspected
so far among the National Guard
Companies in the state.
River Falls now has a National
Guard Company which bids fair to
be one of the best companies in the
state. If the citizens of this city will
all get behind our boys and boost, and
encourage them in their drill and
other activities, there is no reason
why River Falls should not have one
of the "crack" Companies at Camp
Douglas next summer.
Co. "a" is planning an extensive
athletic and social program for the
coming summer. They're going to
have a baseball team which will be
second to none in this corner of the
state. A boost for Co. "a" is boost
for River Falls! Let's all be BOOST

Our Weekly Letter
From Washington
BY James a. Frear, M. C.

Washington, d. c., Feb. Is, 1920.
A remarkable statement from the
pen of Frank H. Simonds, military
expert, was placed in the COMPRESSION
al Record last week by leading Sen
ator. Simonds was in Europe during
the war and claims that assurances
were given by Americans at the Peace
table that the loans made by this gov
eminent to Europe, reaching nearly
$10,000,000,000 in amount, would be
RENTED soon after the war. Reas-
ons given by him were that the claim
was based on proportionate losses sus-
tanned by this Government. IL re-
mitted to Europe, then England would
do the same with France, France with
Germany, Italy with Austria so that
the only thing now standing in the
way is a mere gift of $10,000,000,0
by this Government. The article in
the Record mentions great resentment
held by foreign governments, because
of assurances given in Paris that are
not now kept.
Simond's statement was squarely
denied to the writer, at committee
meeting, by responsible parties who
sat at the Paris Peace table and had
much to do with the negotiations.
Facts are claimed to be directly con-
trary to the Simonds' statement, and
all the leading men of Europe, in
Guiding Lloyd George, understand that
the loan is to be paid, together with
interest, although bankrupt conditions
and decentralization of business abroad
had resulted in request for temper
arily extending the interest payment.
1t can be stated as a certainty that
the Treasury and Congress are eX-
pecting full payment, and nothwith-
standing pressure has been brought
to bear by outside interests to can
eel the debt, there is not the remot-
est likelihood now of any such move
ment gaining force.

Inquiries received from several
farmers in the district relate to pres
ent prices of farm products and OF
prospects of 1920. It has been my
observation that the keen, we'll read,
experienced farmer generally knows
far more about practical business
prospects concerning his matters than
do those who are engrossed in legis-

When pretty Fifth Avenue miss
who speaks proper English attempts
to reconcile herself for while, at
least, in a most sorid neighborhood,
unusual events are destined to happen.
This theme forms the basis of 'The
Hoodlum," the second production
starring Mary Pickford produced by
her in her own studios and which
will be seen here Thursday and Fri
day, Feb. 26 and 81 at the Princess
theatre.
Comedy -Romance-COmedy-and
Comedy
"The Hoodlum" is essentially
comedy romance picturing the dis
tress of the fashionable Amy Burke
who desires to reside in the tene-
ments in order to be with her father
whose life work depends upon sue
cessful book on sociology.
Amy makes great friends of Dish
Lowry, a tenement chap who is a
past master at shooting craps, evad-
ing cops, and helping the unfortunate;
old Peter Cooper, whom no one seems
to know, and struggling artist who
was wrongly sent to the penitentiary
to cover up a crooked deal of Amy's
rich grandfather. 1t is fact, how
ever, that the artist does steal Amy's
heart.
How Amy adjusts family matters
by almost landing herself in Jail makes
fast moving comical story.
