BOWLERS START

The Nelson bowling alleys have
been re-opened after thorough over
hauling, and the bowlers are at it
again. Babe" Wigen appears to be
already in pretty fair form, as he
knocked the sticks for a 236 score
Monday.
The City Bowling League is about
to be reorganized, the several teams
to have practically the same personnel
as last season. There has been no
hint of scandal connected with the
playing of last years schedule, and,
with no grand jury probes pending
the coming season should be very
successful one.
We understand the league will have
another team this year, captained by
Chris. Wiger. Captains Fortune,
Rosenberg and Johnson will retain
their titles in the other three teams,
having waived examination and adj
mitted their supremacy in that posi-
llOi. IlG oSctlS ANtAASAAtAS SAAS
same, the players receiving nothing
per annum for their services, and all
agree that sum to be enough if not
plenty.
1t is said that Bert Hawkins has
his old comrades again in readiness
to play any god team, Fred Knobel's
preferred. whenever Capt. Finn and
Fred Williams are out of town or
otherwise situated so that substitutes
can be legally inserted.
1t looks indeed like a promising
season-all players are promising to
be in fine bowling form, and between
alibies they'll keep on promising to
do better throughout the series. The
captains declare, however, that the
financial end won't be promising, >
cash in advance before every game,
Otherwise "a pleasant time will be
had by ALL"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The first six weeks of work in the
high school is over. This is an in
teresting time because it is the first
time in the year that the students get
a grade. Parents, as well as pupils,
should closely study the grades to
determine whether the students are
doing what is expected of them. If
any student falls below rs in any sub
ject it probably means that he needs
to put little more time on that sub
iect. If student fails in more than
one subject it may be taken as evid-
ence that he is not making the proper
use of his time, and unless the work
improves at once he is perhaps vast
ing his time if he continues to attend
SCHOOL.
Parents are invited to talk with the
teachers regarding the work of their
children. 1t will many times avoid a
misunderstanding that might come
up
Report cards will be given out at
the beginning of next week.

River Falls
Beats Superior

River Falls took the first hurdle
in the Normal school football confer
ence race by winning al Superior last
Saturday. The game was a close one
the Red & White winning by lone
touchdown in practically the same
manner in which they won from st.
Thomas the week before.
Toward the close of the first quar-
ter Chinook made a neat 30-yard
pass to Gurnoe, who was downed on
the 10yard line. Superior held well,
but too eager linesman was off side
and they were penalized on the second
play giving River Falls the ball on the
2-yard line, and first down. The next
charge brought but yard gain. On
the next play Billy Smith squirmed
through for a touchdown. Gurnoe
kicked goal.
The remainder of the game was a
see-saw affair, with the Red & White
showing slightly the better. Superior
has quick, shifty team, but Captain
Bliss and his crew kept them well
away from the Red & White goal.
River Falls was scheduled to play
at Eau Claire tomorrow, but on ac-
count of the ruling regarding the in
eligibility of several Eau Claire play
ers, that team has been dropped from
the conference, and the next cham
pionship battle will be with Stevens
Point here on November 5. This
game will decide the Northern con-
ference title.
An exhibition game with La Crosse
Normal will be played here next Fri
day. Ira Crosse has always been the
strongest of the Southern circuit con-
tenders, and the next weeks game
will undoubtedly be the best exhibit
ton of the local schedule.

A New Pension Bill
Of Interest To Veterans Of Spanish,
American War, Philippine In
surrection and China Relief
Expedition

Chief of Police H. A. Hutchins has
brought to our attention the following
item regarding the new pension law
which President Wilson has recently
signed:
The item is of special interest to
all ex-soldiers who served in the war
with Spain, at home or abroad, or
those who saw service in the Philip
pine Instruction or the China Relief
Expedition, and their widows.
The late Congress passed laws of
the utmost interest to soldiers and
if they will send name and address
to Walter S. Buchanan, National Aid
de-Camp, Army and Navy Union,
Route 2, Louisa, Va, he will be glad
to advise them fully as to their rights
under the new law.
Prompt action viii mean the pos
!sibe saving of money, as the pension
commences from the filing of the
claim. Mr. Buchanan wishes to as
sist his comrades in every possible
manner.
The above notice is enclosed in a
letter over Mr.. Buchanan's signature,
and he requests his comrades to write
to him and enclose stamp for reply.

co. "A" TO ENTER STATE
BASKETBALL TOURNEY

Co. "a" has voted to enter the
State Military Basketball Tourna-
ment for the season 1920-21, and will
soon commence the organization of a
team. The state is divided into dis
tricts, and district tournaments will
be held to decide upon representa-
tives to compete in the state tourna-
ment which will be held during the
latter part of the winter.
The local company has many adj
vantages now, with it's fine new ar
mory, and its membership includes
several of the best players in this
section, Lieut.. Dawson believes that
Co. "a" has a grand chance to cop
the pennant.
River Falls, with its crack team at
the Normal and a fast Guard quint
will be treated to some grand basket
ball exhibitions during the coming
season.

EAU CLAIRE VICTORIES
NOT CONFERENCE GAMES

On account of the fact that Coach
Simpson used ineligible players
against Stevens Point and Superior
Normal schools this season, these two
games are declared as exhibition"
games, and will not count in the con-
ference title race.
The players protested are Gill and
Brumm, both of whom were former
stars on the university of Wisconsin
Freshman team. 1t was their play
ing which was chiefly responsible for
Eau Claire's 3 to 0 victory over Stew
ems Point and the 10 to win against
Superior.
Because of this ruling the first real
conference game of the season was
that played Saturday, when River
Falls won at Superior, 7 to 0.

Crop and Poultry
Show Notes

Everything points to an excellent
showing of crops and poultry at the
show to be held at the Normal school
November 18th and 18th. County
Agent Knott in st. Croix county and
County Agent Seyforth in Pierce
county are both working toward gett-
ing entries in the show. There is as
fine material here as there is in the
state if the people viii bring it out.
There will be two very strong
speakers here on November 10. Mr..
Briggs from the university of Wis
consin will be here to present the
question of Inning. AS was stated
before in this paper, special exhibit
is being prepared to show the value
of lining, and also to show the an
alysis of the rock in this vicinity.
There is no doubt as to the value of
our rock here, and the use of it would
mean much to the farmers in this
vicinity.
Mr.. Halpin, also of the university
Of Wisconsin, will be here on Friday,
November 18th, to talk on the subject
of poultry. A poultry culling demon
stration will be held at that time,
showing how it is possible to go into
flock and Gull out the undesirables,
thereby saving feed without reducing
egg production. All persons interest
ed at all in poultry will find this
demonstration valuable.

victory over st. Croix Falls high here
last Saturday, the final count being
62 to 0. The visitors We're game and
fought against big handicap Of
weight and experience, but were too
completely outclassed to make the
battle interesting.
The local lineup included all of the
regulars, most of whom were out of
the disastrous New Richmond walk
away the week before, and the show
ing was a much different one.
River Falls high is putting up a
classy game and their games deserve
much better patronage.

PRICE DROP MISLEADING
October is, 1920.

River Falls, Wis.
Dear Sir
To your inquiry of recent date rela-
tive to reduction in prices on lines
such as we manufacture.
While we all recognize the fact
that there is a downward trend in
prices of all commodities, the decline
will come gradually, over a period of
time, and we cannot look forward for
marked reductions Immediately.
Recent propaganda by the news
papers has been very misleading to
the general public who are not con-
yersant with the facts, and we are of
the opinion that if our newspapers
would present the entire facts in each
case, showing comparative prices, it
would assist greatly in restoring con-
fdence among buyers.
As an example of misleading news
paper information will draw your at
tention to an article carried by the
press throughout the country recent
ly. Same referred to a reduction in
the price of cotton goods, headed as
follows:
"Amoskeag Mfg. Co., reduces price
of all goods 33-1-3R"
Now the casual reader of this item
would naturally come to the conclusion
that with a reduction such as quoted,
he should buy shirts made of these
materials at very NEARLY pre-war
prices.
Now for your information we wish
to say that we buy large quantities
of materials from the Amoskeag Mfg.
Co., who manufacture besides other
fabrics, the blue chambray which
goes into work shirts.
Over a period of years before the
war, the average price of this cham
bray was 61ac per yard. In August
of this year their price was 521ac per
yard, the highest point it had reached.
At about the same time the above
newspaper item appeared, the Amos
keag people did reduce their price
SO 1-3M. However, that reduction
was from their peak price of 32Rc,
and their price today is Csc per yard.
We bought some on this basis only
last week.
You will therefore note that while
they have reduced their cloth about
33 1-3Ge, based on what we paid for
it before the war, 61ac, it is still
1000 above the pre-war level.
Now this same condition applies
to most other fabrics anu commodi-
ties which we handle, and if the
people, therefore, would have their
attention drawn to the fact that these
reductions which appear so big on a
percentage basis, are from the peak
prices, and even on today's basis, are
still considerably above normal, or
rather, pre-war levels, the buying
public will assume an entirely differ
ent attitude.
We believe that il is up to our
newspapers to enlighten the public
along these fines and stabilize the
present uncertain conditions.
Yours very Truly.

Big Show Wednesday

The River Falls Fire Department
has secured one of the greatest of the
modern film releases, go And Get
It," for their annual benefit show,
and it will appear at the Princess
Theatre for three matinees and two
evening performances next Wednes-
day
The Fire Department is entitled to
the support of every resident of this
city, and there should not be a per-
son here who is not eager to show his
on her appreciation by purchasing
tickets for this show.
1t is said that the advance sale of
tickets has thus far gone very slow,
but we believe that when the people
understand that through this benefit
the Firemcn receive in small portions
their years compensation for this
work, there will be better response.
\ River Falls surely wishes to show
it's volunteer firemen that the city
truly appreciates the work that they
have already done in saving its prop
erty, and that the fact that they have
volunteered for this service when
ever called upon is appreciated far
more than the paltry sum which adj
mission to this splendid picture play
demands.
Let's snap out of it during the next
few days and boost the Firemen's
fund in manner which will show
that we mean it.

NORMAL NOTES

President Ames and Regent RAINIER
attended meeting of Normal school
authorities at Madison Friday and
Saturday of last week.
The school is proud of the fine re-
cord of its football teamI River Falls
has an enviable record for clean
craftsmanship along with earnest
scholarship, and the men this year are
all eager to maintain that record.
Should Coach Hayward's men sue
coed in tucking away the state cham
pionship this year, it will be as before
"a championship well-deserved and
cleanly won.
The Woman's Gymnasium under
Miss Wirt's direction is being over
hauled and re-equipped.
A number of members OF the facul-
ty will attend the meeting of the
Northwest Wisconsin Teachers As
ISOLATION at Eau Claire Friday and
Saturday of this week.
Owing to the ineligibility of two
men on the Eau Claire team, the foot
ball contest between River Falls and
Eau Claire Normals is called off. 1t
is unfortunate that Eau Claire has
sacrificed her conference opportuni-
ties by playing men on her team
who are ineligible. Superior, Stevens
Point and River Falls are absolutely
right in refusing to countenance any
thing that savors of insincerity in
this matter. The Falls next game is
with La Crosse. 1t will be played
Friday, October 10Th.
Statistics of enrolment in the Nor
nal schools of Wisconsin for the past
four years indicate that while there
has been no general falling off in
attendance, there has been a decline
in the number who are preparing for
elementary school positions. The call
for teachers for the primary and
grammar grades and for rural schools
is much greater than the supply, and
the salaries offered are exceptionally
good. A statewide movement for
improved schools and better prepared
teachers is now being launched by the
State Department. All things con-
sidered, now is the time to get in line
for a teaching position. Students
desiring to begin work the second
quarter which opens November 18th,
may enroll at any time during the
next three weeks.
President and Mrs. j. III. Ames
gave delightful reception to the
members of the faculty Tuesday eve
ming. Several violin selections by
Miss Wind and delightful solos by
Mrs. G.. B. Skogmo accompanied by
Mrs. Spence added much to the pleas
ure of the evening.
Mr.. Davison's class in Money and
Banking visited the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank Wednesday of
last week Mr.. C. N. Wiger addressed
the class on the subjects of Bank
Credits and Inter-bank relationships.

NEW SONG, LOCAL COMPOSER

E. Neil Reed, local composer, has
placed his song, Dear Old College
Days." with the Max E. Hasenbien q
Co., Inc, of Racine, and their con-
tract, which includes it's production
on photograph records and player
piano scrolls, indicates their faith in
its popularity.
Mr.. Reed has just completed new
song one step, "Oh, Oh, Billy" of
which he is both author of the verse
and composer of the music. He has
submitted it to number of promin-
ent critics, who have praised it very
highly and predict its success.
