River Falls Will
Observe National
Thrift Week

River Falls is to observe Thrift
Week. A preliminary meeting was
held last evening and it was decided
to ask every resident of River Falls
to assist in making the demonstra-
ton success. January II is Benja-
man Franklin's birthday and fitting
time to commemorate the achieve
ments of his useful life. National
Thrift, or Bank Day, will be turned
over to the local banks to see that
proper recognition is secured. Bud
get Day is assigned to the various
women's clubs of the city, and they
are asked to see that the sentiment
in favor of planning family expendi-
lures with the income is furthered.
Life Insurance Day is turned over
to the local life insurance agents and
they are expected to develop that
idea. Own Your Own Home Day will
be taken care of by the Pasco Real
Estate Board. Make a Will Day is
assigned to the lawyers and to Judge
w. P. Knowles, who is more familiar
with that necessity than others. Pay
Your Bills Promptly should appeal
to the retail merchants and they are
asked to make something of that idea.
The clergy of the city are asked to
speak on "Share With Others" on
Sunday, Jan. %.

German Safety Razors

Last week l received vigorous
protest from SIS safety razor COM
pany against German importations
of counterfeit razors which after pay
ing freight charges, and retailers
profits were sold here at 80 cents a
set including IL blades. This COM
pany has charged SIS set for razors
for ten years and the American pub
lie has paid a $4.20 razor bill over
the German price. / suggested in re-
ply that if instead of profiteering over
600 per cent beyond the price charged
Or the German article, the American
company would accept a reasonable
profit, an incentive for counterfeiting
would disappear. Manufacturers in
their race for profits frequently for
get the consumers or purchasers
standpoint.
Tax Hearings Finished
The Ways and Means Committee
finished number of important tax
hearings prior to the holidays. Otto
Kahn, Rothchild, Goldschmidt and 9TH
er New York financial experts urged
in the committee the Importance Of
a sales tax in order to relieve bus
mess" and to let the consumers OF the
country have equal voice and part in
raising directly $4,000,000,oOO with
which to run the government. The
committee begins tariff hearings,
morning and afternoon, on Jan. Bird.
Every day thereafter during January
and February is now assigned to some
particular industry that desired to be
heard before the tariff bill is prepar-
ed at the extra session which Presl-
dent-elect Harding is expected to call
next March.

C. WENZEL REBUYS BAKERY


Chris. o. Wenzel has bought back
The Home Bakery from P. 7. Paynter
and took possession last Friday.
Mr.. Paynter and family will spend
the remainder of the winter at their
former home in Mineral Point. He
has not made any further plans, but
stated that he may return and engage
in business in River Falls. The Paynt
ers have made many friends here and
all hope that they will decide to re-
turn.
This is Mr.. Wenzers third "inaug-
uration' as proprietor Of The Home
Bakery. He bought it from his broth
er, H. o. Wenzel six years ago. In
January, 1918, he sold it to Robt. d.
Clark and, after returning from over
seas service, bought it back from Mr..
Clark in October, 1919. Two months
later he sold it to Mr.. Paynter and
went to Montana, buying a restaurant
at Bainville, which he conducted until
q few weeks ago when he traded his
restaurant there for quarter section
of Montana land.
Chris. knows the bakery business
thoroughly and conducts his business
in a manner which merits and re-
ceives good patronage.

CITY FEED STABLE OPEN

The City Feed Stable, located back
of Hotel Gladstone, has been rebuilt
and enlarged since the fire which de-
stroyed the original building a few
weeks ago, and is now doing business
under management of Geo. w. Chin
mock, Jr. There are stalls to accomo-
date 80 horses, and the rates are very
reasonable.
In case the roads become impassa-
BILE for auto traffic Mr.. Chinook will
put in a half dozen or more horses
for livery purposes, an accommodation
that will no doubt be greatly appre-
ciated.
aaH Farmers Of this community have
made considerable protest because
there has been no feed stable accomo-
dations and they now have the oppor-
tunity of showing whether or not they
really do appreciate it. 1t is to be
hoped that an incident of last week is
not to be typical. A farmer drove up
into the feed-stable driveway, unhitch-
ed his horse, and instead of leading it
into the feed stable, hitched it at the
back of the cart and fed it there. He
did not, however, ignore the existence
of the feed stable, for, when he had
hitched up again to start home he
found the stable convenient as COM
fort station.

lions year. If we cut out those
sums which now go through the state
treasury for different departments,
which, eight years ago, did not, we will
have the sum of twenty-one millions
a year to set over against sixteen
sixteen millions year in 1913 requir-
ed to carry on the state government
1t will be seen from this that expens-
i've as the state government is, its
cost has not increased in eight years
relatively, as the expenditures OF the
average family.
The Per Capita Cost of Caring for
The States Dependents
Figuring the states population at
100000 it cost each person in the
state twenty cents in 1920 to care for
the states insane. To care for the
feeble minded it cost each person IL
cents; to care for the criminalistic
class, 26 cents; to care for the blind,
4cents; to care for the deaf, three
and four-fifth cents; to care for tu-
berculosis patients, Z cents; to care
for dependent children, cents. To
put it in another form, it cost each
person of the state about so cents to
give the criminal, defective and de-
pendent people proper humane care.
In addition to this it cost about 10c
per person for the year to make per-
manent improvements in the build
ings in which these classes are housed.
Varsity Instructors Salaries
The University, according to a re-
port made by the business manager,
has ninety professors and deans who
receive a total salary of $473,100,
with an average of $5,257. Of those
positions fifty-eight are in the Col
lege of Letters and Science, with an
average salary of $5,156; fifteen are
in the College of Engineering with an
average salary of $4,950; twelve are
in the Medical School with an average
salary of $5.708, and five are in the
Law School with an average OF $3.50;
forty-four associate professors, thir-
ty-seven in Letters and Science, six
in Engineering, and one in the Medic
al School, receiving salaries averag-
ing 1886, and totalling 100000.
Assistant professors number seventy
five. fifty-three in Letters and Science,
thirteen in Engineering, eight in Med
icine. and one in Law. Salaries in
this division average $3.50, and to-
tai s214,15O. Instructors number 179,
of whom 119 are in Letters and Sci
ence, forty-one in Engineering, and
nineteen in Medicine. Salaries for
instructors average $1,812, and total
S324,360 Comparison with the sal
ary scale at the University of Michl-
gan shows that Wisconsin salaries
average thirteen per cent below Mich
igan in the College of Engineering,
1877 per cent below Michigan IN the
College of Medicine, and 1877 per cent
below Michigan in the College OF Law.
In the College of Letters and Science
Wisconsin averages 2.3 pei, cent
above Michigan.

proyal.
