TUESDAY CLUB SPENDS DAY IN
ST. PAUL; GUESTS OF S. p. A.

A rare treat was enjoyed by thirteen
members of the Tuesday Club who
spent Wednesday, April 6, in ST. Paul,
guests of the st. Paul Association.
Members of the Hospitality Com
mittee, with automobiles, met the Riv
err Falls ladies and personally conduct
ed them through the Tri-State Tele-
phone Exchange and the Washington
School, school for mentally deficient
children.
They also spent little time at the
Capitol theatre and at the Auditorium,
where the Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra was giving an excellent pro-
gram for children.
The ladies were entertained at
luncheon at the ST. Paul Athletic Club
Fortunately it was Open Forum day
and the ladies were privileged to list
en- to an excellent address by H. &c
Johannes of Chicago. Just before
train time they enjoyed drive thru
Como Park and to the Indian Mounds.
The st. Paul Association consists of
all the economic clubs of the city, and
is doing wonderful work for St.
Paul.
The River Falls ladies deeply appre-
ciated the many courtesies shown
them, and though very familiar with
ST. Paul as shopping center, they
had never realized the many other
attractions ST. Paul has to offer visit

Kinnickinnic to Get
100000 Trout Fry

Several members of the River Falls
Rod & Gun Club niotored to St. Croix
Falls yesterday to make arrange
ments for the shipment by truck of
10000 trout fry which are to be plant
ed in the Kinnickinnic liver today or
tomorrow.
This big order came as result of
an application made by officers of the
Rod & Gun Club to w. f. Barber,
Chairman of the State Conservation
Commission. This amount of fry is
to be sent here annually, and the only
local expense is that of having the
shipment transported here from the
state hatchery at ST. Croix Falls.
This is the largest planting ever
made in the Kinnickinnic, The usual
allotment being from eight to fifteen
thousand.
Mr.. Barber is here today, and will
deliver the principal address at the
Rod & Gun Club banquet to be held
at Foresters' hall tonight.
On May 3rd moving picture pro-
gram, sent out by the state Conscrva-
ton Commission. will DC shown at
the Normal school, both afternoon
and evening. The afternoon show
will be especially for the children

every youngster in the city and COM
munity is cordially invited and urged
to attend. These are very interest
ing and entertaining pictures, and
all should plan to see them.

bers of the Rod & Gun Club, and
their guests.

A "HICk" AND A "RUBE"

Because we published an item urg-
ing further appreciation of home
town activities we drew the following
rather laborious attempt at vitrol-
ic attack from our esteemed neighbor,
the Times, last week.
The Times says:
A "Hick" and a "Rube" very
accurately describes grow-up
kid" dangling at the end of an
apron string, so satisfied in his
microcosmic sphere and acknowl-
edges his pleasure in attending
'cheap" movie show. How his
imagination must sparkle with
envy when he sees a fellow citi-
zen step outside the city limits
and halls him ass a "globe-trot-
ter"
There is no doubt but that, espec
tally in comparison with the Times
editorial staff, we must humbly ac-
cept their description of us as hick
and rube, yet we are not little
surprised to note that they evidently
are seriously convinced that the rest
of us really consider them envieusly
as travelled personages.
There is no question but that we may
have a few personal digs" rightfully
coming from the Times staff, but we
are indeed sorry that they felt it nee
essary to emphasize their venom with
most uncomplimentary reference to
another local business institution.
That was entirely uncalled for. But
perhaps they can repeat the pecul-
lar and comical Innovation which they
sprung in the recent City Hospital
campaignAone editor placed the
Times on record as opposed to the
maintenance plan, and the other I'M
mediately issued little poster procla-
nation announcing that 'twasn't he
that shot cock robin, twas his part
ner, and that he was "drastically" in
favor of the hospital-and IN this
manner attempt to appease all con-
cerned
Coming from that sagacious source
we have no alternative but to accept
the dangling hick and rube character
ization, that is true, yet. with the
Times staff as an example of the
swagger metropolitan ever before us
we feel that we have hopeful chance
for development

Co. "A" Notes
(co. az 10Th Ana Tr.)

The company drilled for about an
hour on Main street last Monday eve
ming. This is the first outdoors drill
of the season. 1t is hoped that at
least an hour every Monday evening
may be'spent outside from now on.
The Armory will be in use every
night by members of the company
competing for places on the gallery
rifle team. Each National Guard unit
in the state has been furnished with
% caiiber gallery rifles and this week
each is holding tryouts to select an
indoor rifle team. These teams will
compete later for the state champion
ship.
Pvt. lei Herman F. Kuss received
an honorable discharge last week.
Since he ceased working in River
Falls and moved to Prescott he has
found it next to impossible to attend
drills regularly. He was accordingly
given a discharge.
The State National Guard Basket
ball tournament has been abandoned,
but the winning teams in each dis
trict are to receive silver watch fobs
in recognition of their efforts. The
River Falls boys viii receive these
fobs.
s. Sgt. Chas. Phillips is on a weeks
leave of absence.
The opening Saturday night dance
in. the Armory last week was well at
tended, but the floor was not at all
crowded. 1t is hoped that the wealth
er will be more favorable this week,
and a larger crowd in attendance. Re-
member, there's dancing in the Ar
mory every Saturday evening from
500 to 1900. Admission 75c.
Uniforms for the new recruits and
articles necessary to replace those OF
the old members whose clothing is
worn out, have been requisitioned
from the State Quartermaster. They
are expected to arrive this week or
next.
Marvin ]. Carolan was elected Cap
tain of the company baseball team at
drill last Monday night, and Tryg
Smuland was selected to assist him in
getting team organized. 1t is plan
ned to get the team organized before
the company goes to camp this years
and to take on some of the rleighbor-
ing city teams Gust for practice) be-
fore going to camp.
We understand that Battalion Hi.
Co., 128th Inf, is being organized at
Hudson, and will receive Federal rec
ognition at an early date. This will
relieve River Falls from its present
state of isolation in National Guard
circles, the nearest unit al present
being that at Menomonie.
There is still an opportunity for a
couple of new men to join the Com
pany.

TROUT SEASON OPENS MAY 1ST

There appears to be some misund-
erstanding regarding the opening of
the trout fishing season, and there
are also rumors that resident
license is required.
The trout fishing season does not
open until Sunday, May. 1st.
No license is needed by Wisconsin
residents to fish in Wisconsin. A
nonresident license is required for
those who come from out of the state.

For the love of Mike, why expect
the manufacturer, wholesaler and re-
taller of clothing and furnishings to
go the route alone? Why expect us
and no one else to go back to pre-war
prices?
Why pick on us?
Aren't we Americans all in on this
proposition together? Haven't we
got to work it out together? Well,
then, haven't we, the manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers of clothing
and furnishings gone much faster and
much farther than the average in re-
ducing prices and making readjust-
ments? Well say we have!
We're ahead,-'way ahead of the
procession. Now let the BARRIERS and
the movie houses, and the Standard
Oil, and the soft drink parlors, and
the landlords, and the hotels and res
taurants, and the draymen, and the
bankers cut their prices and catch up
with us.
It's time for us manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers to pick on
somebody!
We've been the goat long enough!
