Z. e. RANDALL TO MANAGE
STEWART MERCANTILE CO.

The many friends of Craig Randall
will be glad to know that he has
again become a resident of River
Falls. He is coming here to take en-
tire charge of the Stewart Mercantile
Co.
Craig began his business career in
this town, as conductor on our first
cooperative delivery wagon, later en-
tering the employ of R. N. Jensen as
head of the kerosene and molasses de-
parrment. After remaining there for
several years he went to st. Paul, to
work for the wholesale dry-goods
house of Finch Van Slyck & McCon-
vile.
In few years he was promoted to
the position of travelling salesman,
and moved back here, and for many
years made his home on the old Ran
dali farm, up South Fork way.
In 1900 he organized a company
which later became the Stewart Mer-
camille Co., and bought out the F. j.
Burhyte store. He has been presi-
dent of that company for several
years.
His experience, energy, and keen
business foresight will be valuable
asset to the Stewart Mercantile Co.,
and he and they have our best wishes.
Mr. Randall's announcement as
manager appears in the Stewart Mer-
camille Co. advertisement published
elsewhere in this issue of The Jour
nal.

VETERANS MUST FILE
CLAIMS WITHIN 5 YEARS

Little attention has been paid up to
the present time to that secion of the
War Risk Insurance Act (Section
309) which deals with the time limit
for making claim for disability incur
red in the u. S. service. Under this
Section of the Ace it specifically
states ''That no compensation shall
be payable unless claim therefore
be filed, in case of disability, within
five (5) years after discharge, or,
resignation from the service"
In plain language this means that
any man who has disability which
is due to his service in the U. S. Arm
ed Forces must file claim for that
disability within five 60 years after
date of discharge. Any man discharg-
ed from the service between April 6,
1917 and October 6, 1917, as an OPP
tional right, can either apply to the
Pension Bureau or to the Veterans
Bureau. Any person discharged aft
err October 6. 1917, must apply to the
Veterans Bureau for his disability
claim and must do so within five
years period. An example of this is:
A man discharged from the Navy
December 1, 1917, on disability dis
charge, files claim with the Veter-
ans Bureau at Chicago District office
on December 10, 1922. His claim
must necessarily be disallowed be-
cause he has not applied for compen-
sation within the five 80 year per-
iod.
The Chicago Office is urging all ex-
service men and women who believe
that they have disability due to SER
vice to Immediately file claim for
same in order that they may not be
disbarred from the benefits of the
Act because the time limit has expir-
ed in which it is possible for them to
make claim.
All claims and information concern
ing same may be taken up with the
District office, U. S. Veterans Bureau,
Ill N. Canal Street, Chicago, Ill., OF
with the Sub-District Office of the U,
S. Veterans Bureau at 51s Barstow
Street, Eau Claire, Wis.

PARK DISHES BROKEN

The Improvement League donated
quite number of dishes to the Lodge
in Glen Park, July 8.
We hoped that this would be an adj
ded attraction to our beautiful Lodge.
We are now very sorry to see that a
large number Of these dishes have
been taken away or broken and
thrown away. We do not know who
the guilty parties are, we only know
that any parties with an ounce of self
respect would pay for any loss in this
matter. The keeper, or Mr.. Spillcke,
one Of the members of the Park
board, and who keeps the keys, could
very easily be paid for the loss
The Park board has been taking
great pains to beautify the park, and
the League is very glad to help all in
its power. We have lately helped in
the erection of new swings, have just
put new curtains in the small room
and repaired those in the large room.
Read the rules put up by the board
and obey them. Let US help and not
hinder.

THE DARKIES WIN

For three innings Friday afternoon
there was fine bali game on at the
High School lot-Illinois Colored
Giants VS.. pickup team represent
ing River Falls.
Right at the outset it looked dis
asterous for the locals, for four dark
clouds rolled up and resounding
crashes scattered our outfelds to all
points and beyond. But the locals
came back and evened honors for
brief period, until infield errors broke
the spell and turned neat battle into
a SHAMELESS.
The tally sheet showed River Falls
sin the red" with a balance of II to 8
against them.
Financially, howsomever. the affair
was a success, as some 200 odd pes
toes oiled the gate.
A shower in the morning prevented
threshing and let the crews in from
the farms.
The colored boys, besides showing
some excellent baseball, held the in
terest of the fans with jolly line OF
chatter and copieal antics,

SITS THE GRAVEL

The fine quality Of gravel now be-
ing used on the town of Troy section
of Highway As, between River Falls
and Hudson, can be attributed to a
sitter devised and installed at the
Harley Chinook gravel pit by Pa
trolman M5lt. Savage.
Mr.. Savage made this improvement
on his own initiative, and deserves
great credit for the efficiency of his
device. The gravel is scooped direct
from the pit to the sitter, and
through the sitter into the wagon.
Three wagons can be loaded in less
than twenty-five minutes, with gra-
vel which is all ready for the road.
Adjoining Mr.. Savage's sitting
machine, are large piles of stones,
which if ground up, would make ex-
cellent road surfacing material. The
sitting machine is simple but eff
cient device operated by a small gas
oline engine.
Mr.. Savage is certainly the man
for the job on this particular section
of highway, which is one of the hard
est to maintain on account of the
heavy and varied traffic, and pa
irons of that route should feel thank
full for having man of his enthrs-
iasm, ingenuity and energy in that
position.

10th Ammunition
Train Arrives At
Michigan Camp
Soldiers Well Received by People
Trip Slower Than Expected

Upon leaving River Falls last Sat
urday morning at seven o'clock the
Company made good train time as far
as Era Claire, where the Chippewa
Falls Artillery Battery, carrying sew
eral carloads of field pieces and hors-
es, was met and special train made
up. From this point south to Chicago
the time was cut to maximum speed
of twenty miles an hour, which is the
regular troop train limit.
A rood lunch was served at Merii-
Ian. drawing much favorable COM
ment from the men. After such
feed the company was in the best OF
good spirits. The dicipline Of the en-
tire group was fine, and continued
throughout the trip. 1t is perhaps
needless to say that much OF this ex-
ceIlent conduct is due to the absence
of the old-time booze, and the pre-
sent time ''moon" Not drop OF the
staff was sighted in the whole outfit.
Men are Hailed by People
The attitude of the civilians en-
coui1tered along the road was very
favorable for the soldiers. Every
body had smile and q "high-balP' IN
return for the shouts Of greeting
elected through the open train win
dows. From the start to the finish,
the good-natured respect and salu-
tations of civilians was kept up. This
demonstration of right feeling toward
National Guards1nen shows the APP
preciation of the people for the new
army. 1t appears after all that Ma
tional Guardsmen are to regain seine
Of the popularity and notice they had
before the war.
Tired Bunch Arrives
& The hat-cars of the Chippewa out
fit caused considerable trouble and
switching about of the various coach
es. This with the reduced speed
caused the train to reach Milwaukee
four hours behind the scheduled time
In Chicago the switching arouno,
backing up, and other railroad man
ueyers. brought miriads of witicisms
not Greatly creditable to railroad
companies. The train finally lett
Chicago about eight O'Clock Sunday
morning. From this stop to Camp
Custer, which was reached oy the
lwav Of Gary, Kalamazoo, and Battle
Greek. the speed as increased some
what. The big camp was seen Dy the
tired outfits at two-thirty O'Clock
Sunday afternoon.
The whole trainload of soldiers was
marched to the company streets
which had been assigned to them.
Here their packs and blouses 'Tere
thrown off and they returned to me

On to His Job

An automobile was afire and there
was considerable excitement, SAYS an
exchange. No one knew lust what to

out Of q nearby office building after
n look at the burning ear, ran back
into the building, took q fire eXtin-
gulsher off a rack, raced with it to
The street and turned It's contents
loose on the blaze. The stuff in that
cXtlnguisher was what persons addict
ell to slang call the goods" Tor the
fire was subdued quickly.
Then, there being a little of the
chemical matter left in the cylinder
the young nan emptied it into the
gutter.
I'm very much obliged to you"
said the car wner
"Don't mention it, replied the
other. ANY time | can be of service
just call on me. Here's my card.
The car owner smiled as he looked
at the card.
"You certainly are right on the
job he remarked.
And the young nan was, for the
card announced that his business was
writing INSURANCE and selling fire

Mrs Carnegie's Tablecloth

Guests at a formal dinner once
given by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie in
New York were surprised when, after
the last course, the butler passed a
pencil to each and their hostess re-
GuesN'd that every one write his
lame beside his plate, says the Feb
ruary D~elineator. Afterward. ex-
planned Mrs. Carnegie, the cloth would
be carefully removed and given to an
embroiderer, who would do" the sig
nature in outline stitch.
Famous names were already en-
broidered at each place-Thomas A.
Edison, John Burroughs, Philip Gibbs.
The cloth formed an interesting SOU
venir Of guests who had broken bread
at this famous hostess table.
But Mrs. Carnegie owns another
completed autograph table cloth which
she prizes infinitely more. She start
ed it in her home town years ago.
and Il bears the names of local men
and women, who helped to build I'D the
town and make its history.
ANY hostess may carry out this
