STOUT HERE SATURDAY

The first local game of the Normal
School conference will be played here
Saturday, when the strong Stout In
stitute team comes up from Menom-
onie. Stout has made good showing
in its early season games, and from
all appearances the two teams are
evenly matched.
Last Saturday River Falls, after
scoring one touchdown on lucky
break in the second quarter, wore
down the st. Mary's gridiron war
riors so that two more touchdowns
were made possible in the last period.
All three goals were kicked, bring
ing the total to 81 for the locals.
Except for one short burst in the OPP
ening period the Winona team did not
even threaten the Red & White goal.
At the same time Stout was taking
into camp the Winona Normal school
team. They had an easy victory there.

LOCALS WIN AT HASTINGS

The River Falls city team, the
Ideals, won hard fought game a.
Hastings Sunday, 10 to :. All of the
scoring was done in the first half.
Shortly after River Falls kicked off
they recovered the ball on tumble,
and Whitenack booted perfect drop
kick from the AZ yard line, scoring 3
for the Ideals.
River Falls again kicked off, and
Hastings again fumbled, the Ideals
recovering the ball. A forward pass,
Whitenack to Smith, and consistent
line smashes by Nelson and Bake
brought the ball to the l yard line.
D. Smith wiggled through center for
the touchdown and Whitenack kicked
goal for the Ideals final score.
Hastings came back strong in the
second quarter after recovering
River Falls tumble, and marched
down the field for their lone touch
down. This ended the scoring for the
entire game.
The Ideals made great defensive
showing at crucial point in the game
when they held Hastings for eight
downs on the yard line, with a
frenzied crowd mingling among the
players with clubs and other weap-
ons, and even grabbing River Falls
| players to keep them out of the play
The craftsmanship displayed by the
Hastings crowd was nothing for that
fair city to be proud of.
H. Smith at right guard, and the
work of Whitenack, Nelson and Bake
on the defense were the shining lights
for the Ideals, while Young at half,
was the star of the Hastings tribe.
The River Falls players were: Nj.
Carolan and l.. Finn, ends; Pace and
C. Roberts, tackles; H. Smith and l..
Carolan, guards; Follansbee, center;
Whitenack and G. Nelson, halfbacks;
E. Bake, fullback; and d. Smith
quarter.
That the affair was no "petting
party" is shown by the fact that sew
| eral River Falls players are still nurs-
ing minor injuries, and one Hastings
| gladiator had an arm broken and
another leg fractured.

MEET IN NEW RICHMOND

Messrs. I. /. Lusk, C. N. Wiger, R.
S. Freeman, A. Rollins, A. w. Stiles
and w. Vannatta represented the
Greenwood Cemetery association of
this city at the meeting of the North
western Wisconsin Cemetery Associa-
ton meeting held in New Richmond
last Friday. Other cities represent
ed were New Richmond, Barron, Clear
Lake, Hammond, Hudson, Prescott
and Glenwood City.
A large share of the meeting was
devoted to the discussion Of ways and
mean of maintaining cemeteries.
The former system of yearly dues has
proved unsatisfactory. A few have
flatly refused to pay their yearly dues,
but as the neglect of few lots spoils
the appearance of the entire cemetery
all the work must be kept up, and
paid for. The new law, which has
been published on several different
occasions in this paper, makes it i'm
possible for a few to slack their re-
sponsibility, and it will also cause a
few to lose their ownership in Genet
cry lots.
In Greenwood cemetery the fee, in
comparison with that of most other
cemeteries in the Northwest, is very
low-$25 for perpetual care, and from
SIS to $35 for purchase of lot.
People of this community should
show more interest in their cemetery,
The funds have been increased in the
last nine or ten years from $4,000 to
$4,000, but as the interest only car
be used from the perpetual fund, the
amount must be increased to insure
maintenance and needed improve
ments. Among the improvements
needed is a receiving vault and new
fence.
Those who are interested in Green
wood cemetery lots should at least
attend and take an active part in the
annual meetings.

TAX ASSESSMENT. 1921

The State Tax Commission has
made public the total assessment of
all property in the State for the year
1921. The amcnnt is S4,594, 739, 1868,
about twenty-four million dollars
higher than the total of 1920. This
in itself does not necessarily confirm
the statement made in this paper last
week that the tax levy of 1921, which
will be collected early in 1922, will be
higher than the levy of 1920. That
statement is based upon other condi-
tions. What the people of Wisconsin
as well as those of all other states
must recognize, and reconcile them
selves with is that if civilization is
not to come to stand still, or retro
grade each years cost of that civi!i-
cation will exceed that of the preced-
ing year. The problem of living is no
longer the simple thing it was half a
century ago. and it is growing more
complex. The beauty of all this in
creasing cost, if there be any beauty
in it, is that we are all responsible
for it. We may kick about the Legis
lature, swear at the tax collector, but
the Legislature adds just the increase
we insist upon and no more. We may
become sarcastic over the expendi
lures of the Highway Commission
but none of us are willing to return
to the conditions preceding scientific
road building. The piece of concretl
or substantial macadam which has
taken the place of the suck hole which
made our road to town impossible for
a portion of the year we are not Will
ing to give up and go back to the suck
hole, and so we must nay for the bet
ter road which makes life better worth
living.

HOSPITAL DIRECTORS CHOSEN

About 125 citizens showed live in
terest in the advancement of this
community by attending the meeting
which was held in the Armory Mon
day evening for the purpose of giving
the Peoples Hospital Of this city an
opportunity to exist and to develop.
DR.. Steven Williams-"Steve" he
asked to be called by his friends in
River Falls--came up from Chippewa
Falls and gave very fine talk con-
corning the establishment and main
tenance of hospitalsJ citing the ex-
perience of similar institutions else
where to illustrate that they are es-
sential to every community, and es.
pecially to "a school town where many
students come from other localities.
Atty. j. H. Grimm described the
articles of organization and explained
the method proposed for financing the
hospital. C. N. Wiger, who acted as
chairman, also gave some excellent
Z SuSSeSIlOuS tliC SuUJCNt. OCNCio
others made short speeches, showing
an active interest in the institution.
Over $500 were pledged among
those present at the meeting. 1t is
planned to cover the entire commun-
ity thoroughly to secure pledges OF 81
or over for the annual maintenance
of the hospital.
The following directors were elect
ed: Mrs. w. F. Smith, Mrs. Ella Tay-
lor, Miss Rosa M. Cheney, Rev. G
A. Bird, o. w. Newcomb and H. A.
Hagestad. The directors viii meet
soon to elect their officers.
The present Plan of financing the
Hospital makes it an all-community
affair, and it is certain that there can
be but few, if any, who would rather
see this institution failure than
pledge So a year to insure its main
tenance and give it an opportunity to
develop.

10 PER CENT REASONABLE RENT

Landlords are entitled to rental
that will net them return of 10 pei
cent on the present value of a house
is the decision by the Appellate Term
of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn,
which ruled against the contention
of tenants that the original purchase
price should be the basis of determin-
ing the return.
The decision ends a long coutro-
versy on the question of what should
constitute a reasonable rent. The
court holds that if the rental does not
exceed 10 FER cent of the present
value of the property the rent is not
unreasonable.
''The evidence shows" says the
Court. "that at the present time one

Everybody wants TO be loved!
1t is the one thing. that every nor

whole wide world.
What? No? oh. let's be honest

To love is a glorious luXury-but
10 be loved is a lifelong necessity.
Wealth. power. honors. titles
what do you want them for?
To make yourself lovable. ad-
mired, sought after, desirable.
Why does an actress crave fame,
money. popularity?
So that she may shine IN some
ones eyes-and be loved.
What do YOU want with success u
any kind? To lay II at the feet OF
someone who loves you-Or 10

whom you wish 10 love you.
Love is the hors d'ouvre. the
bread. the meat. the wine, and the
dessert Of life.
All aspiration. all accomplish
ment. all achievement. all struggle,
all work, all roads lead-tO love!
II is the goal at the end Of every
race. the prize in every game.
And, as you grow older and the
glitter wears off your tinsel fancies,
and one by one the little Christmas
tree candles Of illusion sputter out,
there is nothing worth while left
except 20 be loved,
Yet. how carefully we conceal our

our vanity. our grouches. our cyni-
