The Story of
Our States
Ry JONATHAN BRACE
XXXV.-W. VIRGINIA
MSEzEm A name H ii ins r.
&M3a 4 w plies, West
ESlS&ZAS - &S (E Virginia was
thkENfSkssaSsd|J originally a
[sNScssssS6T portion Of
W%S-+[w Virginia, the
~ SSMSs> Old Dominion
Colony. While its history is nat
urally yokcd up with that of the
Mother State, there are many
points in which the two sections
Of Virginia were divergent and
1t was for this reason that West
Virginia finally became q sepa-
rate state.
The first white man who prob
ably penetrated the wilderness
Of this Western region was John
Laderer, a German surgeon, who
went on q tour Of exploration in
1869. In the same year, La Sale
sailed up the Ohio and landed
at several points in the present
state. There was little colonial
ti0n until 1882, when Scotch and
Irish adventures began to fill
Western Virginia. They were
encouraged but little, and, in
fact, the King in 1883 declared
that this part of the colony vas
Indian country and could not
rightfully' be settled. Colonlza-
ton continued, however, and Bit
ter warfare was wagGd against
the Indians and the French who
had come down from the North.
In l774 the battle Of Pt. Pleasant
was fought, which was one of
the bloOdiest of Indian conflicts.
The 'backwoOdsmen who set
tied in the Western part Of Nir-
gnia were entirely different
types Of men from the wealthy
slave owners along the coast.
JCalOusics between the two sec.
tiOnS arose and the Western
countries felt great dissatiSfac-
tiOn ut the way Virginia was
governing them. The most
marked point OF disagreement
was over the slavery question,
and It was because of this that.
when Virginia seeded from the
Union in 1861, West Virginia
took matters in It's own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew
up a separate constitution, and
declared their independence.
Their application for admission
into the Union was accepted by
Lincoln, and in 1868 West Yir-
ginia became the thirty-ffth
state.
1t is often called the "Pnn-
handle State" on account of its
shape. It's area is 2i,17O square
miles, and it has eight prcSiden-
ti2l electors.

OLD HALLOWEEN STUFF

1t had been long time since the
serious destruction of property has
marked the observance of Halloween
in River Falls, until last Monday,
when a group of youngsters played
pranks that harked back to the days
of the One Hoss Shay and mustache
cups.
Considerable property was damaged
about town, sheds being torn down or
tipped over, porches and plank side
walks torn up, ink or blueing thrown
onto the sides of houses, wagons
smashed, and SO on.
A number of the offenders have
been aprrehended and those engaged
in the destructive celebration will be
forced to pay for the damage or make
repairs themselves.

FORMER PASTOR HERE ON VISIT

Rev. A. w Friberg, former pastor
of the Swedish Mission church here,
and at present pastor of the Mission
church at Pilot Mound, Iowa, was here
last week on a visit to friends in
River Falls and Mann Valley.
Last Saturday he addressed his
former congregation in his simple but
forceful way and his message was well
received.
Tuesday evening in the city church
Mr. Friberg gave short but inter.
esting lecture on his journey to Swell
en-. He concluded the lecture by an
nouncing that the congregation ana
friends had not come out to hear him
lecture, but to surprise their present
pastor ON his birthday. Rev. Nh.
Strandberg was greatly astcnishad by
the sudden change in the program.
Congratulations were extended and
refreshments were served, and the
pastor was presented with avery valu-
able gold watch and chain.
The lecture on Sweden will always
be remembered by the pastor and his
family.

Chase PedIar

Put that on the board November
is good month for the pedlar. Cut
the string on the dog. The stock food
man will try to sell you mixture of
pine bark, screenings and salt at fiji
teen cents pound that is not worth
half as much as oil meal at three cents
pound. The brood SOW pedlar
worked Pierce and ST. Croix and Dunn
counties to a finish last fall. This
year they will have something new,
Sick 'em dog. The tree peddler is NOT
half so bad. You ought to have more
fruit trees, strawberries, vines and
flowers and the peddler gets you in
terested, but you pay 500 more than
if you ordered from some of the nur-
series that advertise in your farm
papers. Call the dog off after he has
taken mouthful or two out of his
pants. He really is not such bad
fellow.
Geld Rains; Put In The Stock
Put that on the board You may be
away from home but the hired man
will see it and get them in because
that board tells him to do it just the
same as if you were there, and in or
der to keep up the milk flow they
must not SILVER from cold rains or cold
nights, and just remember that butter
fat and poultry products are the only
things produced on Wisconsin farms
that are paying any profit today.
After 1t Freezes Up
| don't know why we say freezes
up when it freezes down. Just like
an Englishman when he says, button
up your coat, and expects you to begin
at the top and button down. Well
anyway don't care whether you begin
up the road or down the road, grind
the one handled axe, no | mean the
double bitted axe and clean up the
brush and trim the trees. And if any
fellow from the city comes out with
a load of tin cans, old wash boards and
antique furniture and dumps it Oh
your roadside have the Winchester
handy. You may not be able to hit a
deer, but you ought to be mad enough
to get him. Oh no don't kill him, just

OSHKOSH Ia; RIVER FALLS 2

For the first time since the Normal
school football conference was or
ganized River Falls has been eliminat
ed as contender for the state cham
pionshir. Last Saturday the defeat
at Oshkosh, added to Stout's victory
here the week before, put the Red &
White out of the running.
At Oshkosh last Saturday River
Falls led, 2 to 0, until the latter part
of the third quarter, when Oshkosh
scored touchdown on forward pass
in the same manner in which they won
out here last year. They followed this
with another tally, bringing their total
to H.
The River Falls score was a safety,
made when the Oshkosh center made
poor pass and the fullback was
downed over his own goal line, early
in the first quarter.
Saturday River Falls plays at Eau
Claire and a large delegation is plan
ing to accompany the team.
On Armistice Day, Nov. IL, the
SUPERIOR team will be here for the last
home game of the Normal conference
season. Superior is making a great
record this year, and the Armistice
Day game will be battle royal.

Because it is still helping in the Re-

Because it is helping the nations

During the. month of October 35
ex-service men visited the office of
the Pierce County Chapter and filed

the National American Red Cross
Convention which met at Columbus,

great mission in the days of peace, as
we'll as in the turmoil of war. First
of all our duty is to the disabled ex-
