JAMES N. HALE

James N. Hale was born Sept. 8,
1s4S, at Georgetown, Wisconsin, and
died Tuesday, March 16, 1920, in
Minneapolis. He met his death in a
tragic manner, being struck by a
street car as, blinded by the storm,
he was crossing the tracks on his way
to work in the early morning. AL
though the accident occurred at an
early hour, the family did not learn
of his death until late that night. He
was not accustomed to return home
at noon, and there was no concern
felt until after ten o'clock, when they
telephoned to the place of his en-
ployment, to learn that he had not
been there that day, and this brought
the discovery of his body at the
morgue.
The remains were brought to River
Falls, his old home, and funeral ser
vices, conducted by Rev. G. A. Bird,
were held at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. M. Chinook. The Masons of
the local lodge had charge of the
ceremony at the grave in Greenwood
cemetery.
When a young man Mr.. Hale NOV
ed with his parents to the vicinity of
Mason City, Ia. In 1880 he came to
River Falls, and the following yea
married Miss Kate Oakley. For
about sixteen months he engaged in
the lime business with his father-in-
law, Mr.. S. J. Oakley, and then
went to work for Mr.. F. J. 3urhyte,
remaining in the latter's employ I'M
til Mr.. Burhyte's death.
In November, 1904, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hale moved to Minneapolis, where
they had since made their home. Mr..
Hale worked for the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange in Minneapolis
for thirteen years.
Mr.. Hale was a gentleman of
likeable nature, and he won many
warm friendships during his residence
in River Falls, and all join in extend
ing sympathy to the bereaved family.
He is survived by his widow, one
daughter, Mrs. Mary Olson, of Roos-
evelt, Mimi, a son, Frank Hale, of
Minneapolis, a sister, Mrs. Thomas
Callahan, of South st. Paul, and
brother, Phillip, of Mason City, la:
Besides those above named, the
following relatives were here from
out of town to attend the funeral:
Mrs. Callahan's two children, Susie
and James, of South ST. Paul; John
Oakley, of Glenwood City; Mr.. and
Mrs. r. A. McKeen, of Minneapolis,
and Mrs. Mckenzie, of Duluth.

Community Hospital

When we make our little city of
River Falls the ideal place to live in;
when we make it better town, men
tally, morally and physically, we as
citizens are Ejing our duty, and not
until then.
Mentally-we have the best insti-
tutions in the state.
Morally-Who is there living with
in radius of of many miles who
does not feel the influence of our
churches
Physically-are we not little be-
hind? Is there any time when we will
exert ourselves more for our families
than when they are sick? Do we stop
to consider expense?
What would you give to make your
boy or girl more comfortable and
hasten his or her recovery?
We will build hospital that will
be an honor to our community. We
can do so. We have proved this.
Have we not laundry, the first of
it's kind in the state? We get CORE
spondence from all over the U. S.
asking how we did it. Just coopera-
tion. Working together. What
makes this community what it is to-
day? Cooperation. Public spirited
men and women in the city and sur
rounding country, who join hands for
the advancement of each other.
For we are dependent one on the
other
Let us not be like the man in the
street car, who shut his eyes because
as he said, he could not bear to see
the ladies stand. Let us open our
eyes wide to see where we can do our
bit.
Let little of the spirit that seems
to prevail at some of our auctions
enter in. All try to be the highest
bidder. We don't know what we can
do until we try. Has not this been
proved the last years? Did not Riv-
Ell Falls and surrounding country go
cover the Top" every time?
And how proud we werel
Let us $50 Over the Top" with our
hospital.

third from the city of River Falls.

Someone overheard the following
conversation on Main street the 9TH
er day:
We've got the best and the most
progressive town board, and one of
the richest towns in the county," said
a man from Clifton.
1T isn't bit better, more progress
sive or more public spirited than our
town of Troy" came the quick reply.
"And Troy is rich enough to afford
anything that Clifton can afford"
"The town of Kinnickinnic isn't as
large as it's neighbors, but you can
count on it to do its full share" spoke
up another voice.
Just then a fourth man stepped up:
"What is that? guess the town of
River Falls is the largest and wealth
lest of you all. We will not take a
back seat for anyone. What the rest
can do, we can do, and more, too"
A hearty laugh followed.

PoWder Agents Kill Limit In One Hour;
 Like Phoenix Birds

Birds of a feather flock together" and it was just natural that E. L. Valleen of the Selby Shell company; Guy Hallihan of the DuPonr Powder company and W. L. Pinney (Dad Pinney himself) should fall in line for a little bird hunt when the powder agents dropped into the city.
 The trio got up real early yesterday morning and motored to the long open stretch south of Chandler, where they proceeded to massacre the poor ii in nocent birds. Each member of the party bagged the limit during the first hour of the hunt and they were back in Phoenix at D. m.
 Valleen and Hallihan have pursued birds in every known stretch of coun- try from border to border and from coast to coast, but henceforth they vii back up the claim that Arizona af- lords the best hunting spots in the Tinted States

FEAR THREAT OF
 W0MAN'S PARTY

New Haven. June 18.---Declaration of the policy of the woman's party of this city to oppose the Republican party has alarmed some of the leaders in the party in this state who have arranged to hold a. meeting at the Taft next Wednesday noon. 1t is the Mems Republican Ratification Suf- frage committee that is to assemble here and discuss what is to be done with the suffrage question in this state. It is expected that another att tempt will be made to get Gov. Hol- comb to call a special session of the legislature to appease the woman's S party.
 The wing of the Republicans mak- ing this move is not closely attached to the Roraback following. They in- clude Representative Samuel Shaw of Bedding, Senator Bowers of Manches- ter and about 90 others who are op posed to Gov. Holconlb's policy to lock the suffs out. It is feared that the woman's party will make good their threats to play havoc with the Repu'b- |lican vote in the presidential as we'll as in the state election and as many of these men Republicans want to run for political office again they regard Gov. Holcom'b's attitude as a, political blunder.
 Members of the committee that is to meet here said that no plan has yet been worked out as to how the situa- ton is to be handled. The whole mat ter will be discussed at the meeting and probably in view of the urgent necessity of a big political campaign coming on the committee may induce Governor Holcomb and Chairman Roraback to change their attitude to- ward the woman's party in this state.
