APPRECIATE RIVER FALLS
CLOTHING DONATIONS

In response to an appeal from Bow
man, N. d., River Falls societies and
individuals united in sending dona-
lions of clothing to people there who
were impoverished by crop failures.
These donations were distributed by
Mrs. A. A. Tingwall, formerly of this
city, and she. sends the following let
ter of appreciation:
Bowman, N. D.,
Nov. IL, 1891
The Editor of the River Falls Journal,
Dear Mr.. Editor:
1t would give me great pleasure
if through the columns of your paper
/ may express the appreciation and
gratitude the people of this drouth
stricken county feel toward the peo-
pie of River Falls and vicinity Such
a shipment of clothing never before
has been witnessed by Bowmanites
and the good that it will occasion can
never be measured.
] We wish to thank especially those
women most directly responsible. Mrs.
Myrna Larson and Mrs. Ella A. Tay-
lor. They must have given their I'M
firing efforts for weeks. The Home
Culture Club is recognized Thy mel
tions, and it gives me happy warmth
about the heart to remember that at
one time / was a member of this COM
pany of "doers."
Our heartfelt thanks is given to
those merchants who contributed so
generously from their shelves, the
shoes, stockings, coats and underwear.
Not garment but will warm some
little body, make some little boy or
girl happy and comfortable.
To the individual donors also, many
thanks. If they could but see the
comfort and feeling of safety shown
by the mothers and fathers and chill
dren, | am sure they would glory in
the expenditure of time and energy it
cost them.
1t is great pleasure to me to be
the distributor of this bounty and
though | seek to disclaim all respon-
sibility, yet thanks and praises thick
and fast seem to come my way.
Our people are unfortunate because
of climate conditions over which they
have no control. They are rugged
thrifty, hard working people. ac-
customed not so much to high living
as to high thinking. We pride our
selves on our high ideals and consider
a reason for shame.
Never has help been accorded a
more worthy people and if any of you
should chance to pass this way, look
US up and we will prove it to you.
Again MANY thanks.
Mrs. A. A. Tingvall

Show which was to be held Nov II
and IL has been changed to Dec
and 2. Good speakers have been pro-
cured for the programs on both days.
Anyone having good poultry, corn or
grain should make an effort to exhibit
one or all at this show. For further
information write to j. M. May of
River Falls.
/ have had quite few calls for al
falfa hay but am waiting until Dec.
before shipping it in, hoping thereby
TO get lower freight rates. If anyone
else would like to order some, they
should try to get their orders in by
Dec. 1.
| have orders for Is bu. of pure
Grimm alfalfa seed for 80 cents a
pound plus the freight. This is an
exceptional opportunity to get this
seed at such a low price. | hope that
anyone who is planning on sowing al
falfa next spring and must buy seed,
will take advantage of this opportun-
ity.
Mice, rabbits and other field pests
cause untold damage to fruit trees
every year. In some instances, mice
and rabbits have completely destroyed
young orchards in the course of a sin
gle winter. The growing of orchards
involves time and expense and if the
trees are to be uniform in develop
ment it is necessary to take steps
against these field pests. Many use
tar paper or some other kind of build
ing paper, but the mice and rabbits
sometimes eat through this paper so
it is recommended that young trees
be protected by cylinder made of
galvanized wire netting, three mesh
es to the inch, or galvanized wire
screen. This screen should be i'm
bedded in cinders, gravel or soil so as
to keep all part of the screen an equal
distance from the trees.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the orchard pruning demon
strations held throughout the county.
If the weather and roads are more
favorable the first part of December,
it might be possible to hold some
more. If you are interested let me
hear from you. Apples are selling
from 10 to Is cents pound in the
stores. These same good eating APP
pies can be raised in Pierce County if
you give the trees a little care and
attention in pruning and sprayin"

HOSPITAL BENEFIT CONCERT

River Falls music lovers were given
a delightful treat when trio Of ST.
Paul musicians consisting of Jane
Holland Cameron conlralto, Katherine
Hoffman, accompanist, and Helen
Schultz Kueffner, violinst gave a
concert in the Normal Auditorium
on Wednesday evening, November
ninth, under the auspices of the Mac
.Dowell Club.
These musicians gave their sery-
ices as a benefit for the local hospital
and we owe them not only for the sub
stantial, material gain to our hospital
but for an evening of such genuine
musical satisfaction as is seldom en-
ioyed in towns of this size.
Mrs. Cameron, who has recently
returned to st. Paul where she has
opened the Cameron Studios, possess
es voice of marvellous beauty and
sweetness. She has spent years OF
study with the finest teachers both
at home and abroad and her singing
may truly be said to, be without flaw.
She has a personality of great charm
and sincerity and this with her beau
tiful voice made warm place for her
in the hearts of the River Falls pao-
pie.
She was ably supported by Rather
inc Hoffman, accompanist. Mrs. Hoff
man is too well known in the Twin
Cities where she is in greater demand
than any other accompanist, to re-
quire much space in this article. She
has recently returned from trip to
Australia and the Orient where she
accompanied Madame Schumann-
Heink and we feel ourselves as more
than favored to have opportunity to
enjoy work of such artistic excellence
as that of Mrs. Hoffman.
Mrs. Kueffner contributed two
groups of violin solos and added much
to the pleasure of the evening. She
possesses a good tone and clean
technique and her modest unassuming
manner convinces you of the SINGER
ity of her musicianship.
Much gratitude is due to Mrs. Mar
garet Linehan McEwen who arranged
with these artists for this most en-
joyable concert and it is an occasion
to be long remembered by lovers of
music in River Falls.
The receipts of the concert amount
ed to $40. The talent, as heretofore
stated, was donated and the ladies
were entertained at private homes
during their stay, so that the total ex-
pense of the benefit was but $500.

1t may seem rather difficult TO ac'
cept, hut nevertheless it is a fact, that
all the munitions manufacturers are
opposed TO war. Schwab, Dupont aud
several others of the leaders have
made strong pleas for disarmament.
Their reasons are not in the least al
truistic either. but because wars mean
to them the loss Of cold, hard. cash.
This may Be difficult for us to under
stand since we have all been thinking
that the munitions manufacturers be-
came billionaires during the war. But
their point Of view seems very logical.
In times Of peace their factories
make peace munitions. a war sudden
Is comes along and they must immed-
lately either double the output of their
factory, build new buildings, buy diff
ferent materials and additional mat
erials, hire many more people in order
20 keep up their trade N peace and
war munitions at the same time. or
they must concentrate on war NUM-
lions as most Of them do. This is all
well and good as long as the war last,
but let il stop suddenly as most wars
do, with one and a half dozen men
knowing that peace is about to come.
Then the munition factories are filed
up with war raateriais which they can

The Thing That's Surprising.

The chief difficulty ID TIE way ol
Wisconsin's building up huge tour
ist trade is our failure to understand
and grasp the great opportunity thai
is all bat forcing Itself upon rs.
Some days ago Dr. Dallas Lore
Sharp, speaking ID Milwaukee. Great
ed 40 little astonishment when BE
| pointed ont that Maine enjoys tour
ist trade which has reached So, 49,
600 year. The astonished ones had
never realized that so many tourists
90 to any stste OF that they spend any
thing ike so much money.
Yet Maine is not a shining example
Of what a scenic state can achieve q
inducing tourists to come and spend
money. California tourist trade is
several times greater FIoTida's is
much larger. 50 is C0loFado's
Some viii expaIn that Maine is uoi
only land at forest and lakes. but Of
seashore; that Colorado is a land Of
mountains. thar Florida and CalIfor-
MIA possess warm and balmy climates
with long stretches Of ocean beach
and great orchards Of mseiogs fruit,
and that California, iE addition. con
tains many mountains. the \ Yosemite
and the Tedwoods.
All true. But compare Wisconsin
with state Of its Kind with Miehi-
gan, fronting on inland seas, as Wis
consfn does: with some forests left,
as in Wisconsin, and with some inland
lakes. but not nearly so many as exist
in Wisconsin: q state not nearly SO
accessible from the great middle west
as Wisconsin is.
Yet Michigan's tourist trade a.
mounts to S75. oo0. 900 year. Why
Because Michigan has increasingly ex-
plotted her attractions and catered to
ourists throughout the years
To many Wisconsin residents.
Names tourist trade LOOKS huge.
Michigan's coaceivably big. but these
Impressions are chiefly the result Of
the comparatively Insignificant vol
ume Of Wiseonsin's tourist business,
which hardly reaches SO. 100000
It's within WisconsjD's power To
increase her tourist business year by
year until ID reaches OF even exceeds
$40. 600, 600. To de- this. however. she
must establish large Wild PARKS, start
growing new forests. plant trees on
the bare shores Of many lakes and
beautify her me trunk roads Scenic
beauty inst eat ssili b. saved size
aust save. and some OF the great beau
y that has been destroyed she must
restore, recreate.
In addition. she must sees oat the
tourists, and make them understand
that here IS the place Of places Tor
