Galli-Curci could not leave the
tri-cities without calling on her
"old friend, Thor Norberg." She
made the appointment for yester-
day afternoon at the Norberg Mu-
sic shop, and as on previous visits
listened to some of her latest rec
ords and was snapped by local
photographer. The above is one of
the pictures taken during her
hours call.
A few interested followers of the
great soprano had gathered to meet
her and were Joined by passersby
who seeing the singer stopped in to
get a closer glimpse of her in all
off-stage setting.
Galli-Curci off-stage is just what
you expect her to be-utteriy
charming, gracious and unassum-
ing. One completely forgets the
set speech planned while waiting
for the celebrity's arrival-and you
mutter the same acknowledgment
to the Introduction and the thrill
ing handclasp as you unconscious
ly mutter to an ordinary person.
She makes you feel more like you
are doing her the honor of allow
ing her to met you. And before
you know it you find yourself talk
ing her to meet you. And before
questions, which make you shud-
der when later you think of the
boldness of it.
Galli-Curci, followed by her hus-
band, Homer Samuels, and Man
ager Evans enters the store and the
singer stops to listen as she takes
a high note in her latest record.
Typically Galli-Curci she joins the
record singer. Then she greets the
gathered friends.

LAYTON CREAMERY ROBBED

The Lawton Creamery was enter
ed during the night of November 27,
and 13 tubs of butter, nine BIB. jars
of butter, and one 5-lb. jar of butter
stolen. The thief entered the building
with the use of skeleton key which
opened the back door. Entrance was
gained to the store-room where the
butter was kept by cutting chain
with which the door was locked.
The stolen butter was taken away
in small truck, presumably a Ford,
sometime during the late evening or
early morning horl.s, and the loss was
not discovered until the Creamery
was opened for business next morn
ing. The truck was left standing
northeast from the creamery while the
butter was being stolen and loaded.
From there the tracks in the snow
showed that it was driven east one
mile and from there turned south.
THE tracks were lost at this point.
A reward of $4,000 has been offer
ed by the Creamery Company for in
formation leading to the arrest and
conviction of the person or persons
who stole this butter.

Normal Notes

The Normal School closed for the
Thanksgiving vacation Wednesday
afternoon and will reopen next Tues
day morning. Most of the st.11ents
and several members of the faculty
are spending Thanksgiving at their
homes.
The men of the faculty gave their
annual banquet to the football squad
on Tuesday evening. The banquet
was prepared by Miss Weberg and
her Department, and was given in the
Sewing Room. Covers were laid for
sixty. The tables were Hastily decora-
ted and the banquet was voted the
best ever. Professor Mitchell acted
as postmaster, which is enough for
one to be assured that the program
was good. Mr.. Karges paid tri-
butte to Mr.. Hayward, the retiring
coach, and on behalf of the men of
the faculty presented him with a
beautiful blanket and the school EN-
blein.
DIR. Helen Gage of New York City,
representing the National Board of
the Y. w. C. A., was here from Fri
day evening to Wednesday morning

young women of the school in the in
terests of better health. Her talks
were excellent and her services were
much appreciated.
The Junior High School gave a
very interesting Thanksgiving pro-
gram at the general assembly hour
last Thursday.
Mrs. Sarah E. Hollister, who was
Primary Supervisor here last year,
is now working in teachers Institutes
in the states of the Central West.
She will continue this work up to the

ter Columbia University for post

be of great service to any teacher. It
shows the result of good deal Of

METHODIST CHURCH SCHOOL

The plan for 1000 attendance of
enrolled members last Sunday went
over the top with a good majority.
The average attendance has been
around 225 but came up to BAT last
Sunday. This is considerably the
largest attendance ever recorded here.
That is fine, and all the officers and
teachers deserve much credit Tor
their efforts, but it will be better still
if we can have at least that many ev-
cry Sunday all the rest of the year.
Let us set our goal at 1000 attend
ance of enrolled members every Sun
DAY, and then enroll some new ones.
1t can be done if each one does his
part.
A splendid delegation of at least
twenty seven boys from River Falls
have signed registration cards for the
colder Boys Conference" at La
Crosse next Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. 1t is under the auspices of
the Y. M. c. A. and presents a very
fine program. The following boys
from this Sunday School are going:
Harvey Treievon, Reynolds Jensen,
Winfred Bird, Mauiuice Taylor, Herb
ert Chapman, Marshall Norseng,
Robert Smith, Maynard Enloe, Oil
yer Scott. 1t is planned to have a
union meeting when they return so
that the rest of Us may catch the
echoes of the conference.
The Sunday school has experienced
a deep loss in the passing of N. n.
Fuller, which it will long feel. He
had been a member for many years,
always in his place, always ready to
help wherever he could, always ac-
lively interested in the work of the
school, Who will take his place?
Preparations for the "White Gifts
for the King" Christmas service are
going forward smoothly. Miss Myers
is chairman of the Publicity commit
tee, Mrs. Phillips, of the progragm
committee and Mr.. Goble of the Gifts
committee, which insures careful at
tention to each part. 1t is probable
that the hour for the service will be
changed to accommodate fa1lmers who
are busy at o'clock. Announcement
later.
