ARC LAMPS FOR ICE RINK

Mr.. Whitcomb, of the Prairie Roller
Mills Co., has generously offered to
furnish electricity from his private
plant to light up the skating rink on
the mill pond. The City Council is
doing its share by furnishing power
full arc lamps and wiring them up for
use in the most advantageous position.
The ice on the mill pond has never
been better for skating, and with the
lighting system installed the young
STEERS have especially fine opportunity
to enjoy the sport this season. The
ice has been scraped by Mr.. Kay.
In donating Juice" from his pri-
vate plant Mr.. Whitconlb makes the
lighting of the rink possible without
affecting the city plants capacity
which is already overtaXed.

A Social Event Of the
Congregational Church

The social committee Of the Senior
department of the Congregational
church entertained Wednesday even
ing, Dec. Is, in the basement of the
church. Abo@t eighty young people
enjoyed the activities of the evening
for which they are indebted 20 Miss
Writ, who is the advisor of the social
committee. Various new games and
stunts were introduced into which
everyone entered with great enthusi-
assn. Ten cent gifts were exchanged
and the receivers were obliged to re-
veal the nature or use of the gifts by
dramatization. This created much
aughter and merry-making. A de-
licious lunch was served.
The young people of the Senior de-
pa1tment are planning to continue
these monthly social gatherings, and
they wish to extend most cordial in
vitation to all to join them in these
good times.

terested n what some of the Goodhue
county farmers are doing along that
line. These Minnesota farmers con-
slider wheat and flax one of their most
profitable cash grain crops. They
SOW it on their fields as often as their
crop rotations and the flax wilt will
allow. The average value per acre
of wheat, barley and rye is $3.50,
that of flax $2S.04. The difference,
$4.45, is the reason farmers wish to
grow flax as cash crop. Flax is diff
ficult to handle when it lodges and
tangles up. 1t is impossible to cut
such flax with binder and when
flax is cut with mower it is hard to
cure, very bulky to handle and thresh.
Flax cut with a binder is hard to
shock SO that it will shed water. 1t
is hard to thresh properly, owing to
the tendency of the tough straw to
wind about the moving parts of the
separator. Goodhue county farmers
have practically overcome all of these
disadvantages by sowing mixture
of wheat and flax. At the same time
they have increased their return per
acre considerably. Wheat and flax
does not lodge as often as the flax
alone does. 1t is always cut with
binder. 1t makes a good weather re-
sisting and quick curing shock. 1t is
much easier to thresh. lessening the
power requirements and the tendency
of the straw to wind. The farmers
have found that the wheat in the flax
is of better quality than that which is
grown by itself. This undoubtedly
is because the black rust does not do
as much damage to the wheat when
grown with the flax. The usual mix
ture is 1-2 blu. flax and IL bu. wheat
mixed together and sown rather shall
low, for one acre.

EQUITY HAS OPPORTUNITY

At the annual state convention of
the Equity society at Fond du Lac,
last week, George Nelson, of Polk
county, was elected president. 1t
was voted to incorporate the society
and also to move the headquarters
to Milwaukee, in order to "take the
society out of politics." The annual
reports disclosed that there had been
q considerable reduction in the
society's indebtedness. There were
about 900 delegates in attendance
The Equity society is not as strong
as it was before it became political
football, when politicians played for
its CONTROL, not for the benefit Of
the society or its members, but for
the benefit of the rings. 1t still has
a big field, big opportunity, and if
it can be put on sound financial bas-

of the farmers it might regain its
strength and even more. There is a
great need of such an organization
on proper lines. It's influence might

luton of farmers problems is always
productive CT results. But that mo-
ment farmers movement, or any

TIE PEOPLES HOSPITAL AGAIN

Now, when so many demands are
made on our purses for donations,
gifts and overdue bills, it does not
seem an opportune time to ask for
money. 1t is only because of ex-
treme necessity that, at this time, we
urge the people of River Falls and
vicinity to pay their subscriptions,
which stand as legally contracted bills
against them, and to make such 9TH
er donations as they see fit, to help
the cause. A goodly number of peo-
pie have needed the appeal made last
week, but it doesn't take much know
ledge OF accounting to see that it
takes many S200's to wipe out a
debt of $1,000 May we therefore
ask that the next time you go down
town, you deposit your part toward
the hospital fund. If you have sign
ed no subscription, will you not give
subscription now in order that q
fairer representation may share the
burden. Deposits may be made at
Allard's, Hagestad's, Newcomb's or
at either bank. Take your assess
ment notice of Nov. / with you and
get your receipt.
(Signed) The Board of Directors.

OLIES LOSE THRILLER

In whirlwind battle at North Hall
gym. last night the Red and White
basketeers nosed out a 24-20 victory
over Coach Anderson's speedy five
from st. Olaf.
Fiercely contested from start to
finish, the game was, however, one of
the cleanest exhibitions ever witness
ed here.
River Falls led at the end of the
first half, 7 to 5. Toward the mid
die of the second period the North
field machine took a vicious sps1rt and
gained small lead. Capt. Claflin
called conference, after which his
clan came back with a lightning at
tack that regained their lost margin
and kept them ahead during the re-
mainder of the fracas.
st. Olaf made the final score on
a field throw that was still in the air
when the timer fired the closing pist-
oil shot.
Ziebel led the scoring with 5 field
baskets and four free throws, max
ing a perfect record on his gift shots.
Chinook made field baskets and
Gurnoe the other two. Capt. Olaf
lin and Fields, guards, played brill
liant defense that forced the Olies to
long shots for the majority of their
pointers.
Last Friday evening the Red and
White had an easy time disposing of
the Concordia college quint of st.
Paul, 37-11. The visitors put up a
plucky fight, but the Red and White
short-pass attack had them complete
ly baffled. Coach Eggebrecht used
substituted during large portion OF
the game, and in the last minutes,
when one player was disqualified on
personals, and all the others had gone
to the showers, River Falls held the
visitors scoreless with but four men
on the floor.

NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY
FOR CHURCH and SCHOOL

Following is an account of the big
mass meeting as recorded in The Riv-
a Falls Journal of Dec %, 1897:
"When the freight arrived this
morning, bearing President Parker
and Regent Lord, throng of students
and townspeople poured about the de-
pot to give them reception worthy
of the cause. Hustling them into 2
carriage, with handshakes and cheers
along the whistles blowing and
bells clashing UP and down the town,
the crowd formed a procession and
headed for the Opera Hal In the
lead rode the band, glittering in their
gold-braided uniforms. Following
came the carriage of the President
and Regent, and behind this a long
procession of students and townspeo-
pie, four abreast, with flags waving
over them and pennants tossing at the
ends of slender standards.
"At the hall, the band struck up Ell
Captain, and the students cheered
everything in general and President
Parker and Regent Lord in particular.
The Mayor Geo. w. Chinook, Sr.)
then called upon Prof. Brier, who told
the returning delegates how eternally
glad we all were that they brought so
pleasant a message, and insisted on
their telling how it all came about.
president Parker responded by de-
claring that this was the Regents
day and the Regent should therefore
speak for himself. This the Regent
did, with very good grace and fine
sense of humor of the situation-not
failing to mention that though Eau
Claire sent down a carload of people
in special, it was not the elaborate
special that brought back the titles to
a new Normal, but a certain unpre-
tentious hand bag in forward coach,
that some of US had seen before
In response to repeated cheering,
Pres. Parker again arose and made a

H. G. sefortn

Parties having Pieric Acid to store
for the winter might be interested
III the following:
/. Picric acid can be kept over
Winter without deterioration if kept
in proper storage conditions. Freez-
ing temperatures will not harm pic
ric acid in storage.
2. Picric acid should be stored in a
dry, we'll ventilated building. Do not
store in basement, root cellar, or
where livestock are kept. A dry
granary is good place to store your
picric acid.
8. Blasting caps should not be
stored in the same building with pic
ric acid or other land clearing eXplo-
sives.
4. Under a stump or covered with
tar paper is not satisfactory stor-
age place for picric acid or any other
dynamite.
5. If picric acid gets wet and then
freezes, the cartridge is apt to be
bursted and the picric acid, when dry,
will then leak out and be very diff
cult to use. While the moisture can
be dried out of picric acid in dry at
mosphere, the paper wrapper on the
cartridge will be much weakened and
the cartridges will not stand up well.
Moisture, by all means, should he
avoided in storage.
Last year considerable over 5000
pounds of pure Grimm alfalfa seed
was purchased by farmers in Pierce
county. 1t is very likely that more
will be used this spring. The ques-
ton is, do the farmers want to save
considerable amount by placing or
ders before January l or wait until
later when prices will be higher? A
South Dakota farmer has offered his
pure Grimm alfalfa seed at 3S cents
delivered at any point in this county
if large order is placed before jan
uary LIST. Seed houses right at the
present time are quoting the same
quality of seed at so cents per To-,
and every information that | receive
in regard to alfalfa seed states that
the price will go up as seed is rather
scarce this year. With all this infor-
nation on hand, farmers who intend
to use alfalfa seed for next spring
sowing, ought to be able to decide
when to purchase their seed.
Farmers Institutes will be held at
four different points in the county
this winter. At Maiden Rock, Jan
uary 2 and 8; at Diamond Bluff, Jan
uary 4 and 5; at Elmwood, February
and Z; at Ellsworth February 8
and 9. Women's Institutes will be
held at Elmwood and Maiden Rock
on the same dates the Farmers lnsti-
tutes will be held. Plan to attend
these institutes. Programs will be
published next week. Grain Shows
will be held in connection with each
Farmers Institute. Try to exhibit
something. A boys and girls pos
ter contest will also be held in connec
ton with each institute.
The State Grain Show will be held
at Madison this year at the same time
that the Farmers Week and Home
Makers programs are held.

Therefore when the Regents vote
was announced here, there was gen
eral rejoicing. Bells rang, whistles
were blown, firecrackers, shot guns
and cannon were fired, monster
parade of students and townspeop-o
was staged around huge bonfire
down town, and an enthusiastic mass
meeting was held in the Opera Hall.
Next morning Regent F. D. Lord

that the Normal returned to River
Falls was due, he said, to two things
first, River Falls was a decent town;
second, the school had always done
merito1ious work.
"By authority now definitely con-
veyed to it, the executive committee
would take immediate steps toward
erecting a new building. By the
first of next October this building, it
was confidently expected, would be

class are really more dry.minded than
the men but the drys continue to claim
the women's vote.
This first vote to be tahulated il may
also be remarked, is gathered largely
from the telephone subscribers of the
country, lists of whom furnished the
chief address.list for mailing the earli-
est ballots. Lists from such sources it
has been argued, furnish a very repre-
sentative vote even though they may not
include many elements of the floating
population, both those who live in hotels
and those who live in boarding houses
or apartments without private tele-
phones. A vote gathered from telephone
subscribers tends to be solid and conserv-
ative rather than radical. Later on re-
suits of the polling of factories where
working men and women will be given
a chance to express their preferences will
be shown. The present Digest poll gives
the first opportunity ever given to the
citizens of the United States to take
part in u nationwide vote on Prohibi-
ton. The Importance of obtaining the
widest and most representative registra-
ton of public opinion is the strongest
possible argument for marking and re-
turning all ballots at once.
