STOCK SHOW

The tenth annual Stock Show is
taking place Thursday and Friday of
this week. At this time there are 258
entries of pure-bred cattle. This num-
Der is eaualed by a very few of the
fairs outside the state fair at Mil
waukee. The fact that the state pro-
vides no money for promoting this
fair and that we are competing with
county fairs in both counties shows
that the people in the community are
strong for the show. The very best
livestock in the state are here.
Thursday the cattle were Judged. Fri
day a number of the demonstrations
which were given last week will be
arranged again for the benefit of the
visitors: the rope tying and splic-
ing demonstration, livestock fitting
and dairy demonstration are schedul-
ed. Friday afternoon at o'clock will
be the parade of the prize winners.
This show provides valuable exper-
fence on the part of the students in
conducting different types of extern
sion work. Practically all the stu
dents are assisting in some way or
other.

sT. CaoIx VALLEY u" MEETING

On Thursday evening, May 2, at the
Normal school building in this city,
the University Of Wisconsin Club held
what was in many respects its banner
meeting. The number present was
the largest that has been present at
any meeting of the club since its or
ganization a little more than four
years ago.
The banquet was served by Mrs.
Eva Shepard, and it was one OF her
Enthusiastically delicious repasts.
Music was furnished throughout the
meal by Professor Koepp, Miss Smith
and Mr.. Bradford, and Wisconsin
songs, cheers and yells made the hall
ring between courses. There was no
lack of Wisconsin "pep."
Immediately after the banquet Pres
ident Prucha, Is, introduced Profess
sor Junkman, Is, as toastmaster, and
a right royal good POSTMASTER he
made.

in the city in connection with the AZ

The climax of the evenings pro-

the club by Professor Frederick l..

at the university Professor Paxton
took as his subject, "The Submerged

Appropriate, What7

The Church at Work, published by
the National Council of the Episcopal
church, tells Of res0urceful native or
ganist who was called upon suddenly
to furnish the music for mission
wedding ceremony at Hankow, China.
The bridegroom had recently become
a Christian. Following the custom,
he sent beautiful sedan chair and a
brass band to escort the bride to his
home, where the ceremony was to be
performed. Something delayed the
bride, and the impatient young man
hurried down to the mission house,
where 1t was decided to have the
wedding on the spot. A meeting was
in progress in the church, so 1t was
impossible to have the brass band
play. Whereupon one Elsie Ii was
Communicated to play the wedding
march. There was no sheet music on
hand and Elsie was not equal to the
task of playing Mendelssohn from
memory. She was strong, however,
on one good old march tune, and ac-
cordingly the wedding party were dunn
founded and amused few minutes
later when the bride and bridegroom
marched blithely forward to the altar
to the tune of Coward Christian
Soldiers, Marching as to War;"

ward for his work and his unusual
speaking ability, Winfred was given
a silver medal and a years scholar
ship to Lawrence College. This is a
fitting climax for the splendid work
Winfred has done this year.
Ronald Baker also made the walls
ring with River Falls sound judgement
and speech, and he is to be congratu-
lated on the splendid Grafton he put
up. The contest was conducted under
the auspices of the Public Speaking
department of Lawrence College. The
constants were picked solely upon the
records they have made in Oratory
and debate and other speaking con-
tests. The fact that we had two men
chosen from this school augurs well
for the work that is being done and
is in itself something to be proud of.
Chalk up another victory to the MANY
that River Falls HI. s. has won this
year.
The following teachers vol be back
next fall to assume their school duties
at the High School: Mr.. Mason, Mrs.
Sims. Miss Kellar, Miss Kelley. Mr..
Hawley, Miss Peterson, Miss Twee-
dale. and Miss Upgren.
The Senior Class play fulfilled all
hopes and expectations OF the au-
dience and the coach last Friday night
The actors were greeted by large
and enthusiastic audience, which GER
tainly appeared to appreciate the work
Of the members of the cast and their
coach. CONTINUED next week.
The Senior class cleared about 1925
which with the exception of small
sum, was turned over to the athletic
association to pay their present debts
and give them something to start on
next year. As the main object of the
play was to raise money, these re-
suits were very gratifying.
Grateful Acknowledgement NUT be
made to the following for their kind
ly donations. Kulstad Bros. and Stew
art MERCANTILE Co. for costumes 'and
the Newcomb Furniture Co. for stage
furniture. The senior class certainly
feel indebted to them for their will
ingness to help put the play across.
The dental examination planned by
the Parent Teachers Association was
held last week. DIR. Kalk, DR.. Laue
and DR.. Fortune made the examina-
tions, examining 226 pupils in one
forenoon. Out of the 226, 176 needed
attention or had two or more teeth
that were not in good condition.

inee and evening, under the auspices
of Albert Harvey Fletcher Post of
the American Legion.
The scenes in FLASHES of Action"
were taken under fire by photograph
ers of the United States Signal Corps,
who were with the troops from the
training camps to the trenches. The
film is five reels in length and in
cludes the best of the millions of feet
of film ground out by the army of
men during the war. Nearly every
Division is shown.
FLASHES of Action" has attracted
capacity crowds in all the large cities.
Following a record breaking atten-
dance in New York. the owner of a
syndicate of theaters said, The
popularity of this film convinces me
that we are now far enough away
from the World War to sit down and
cody see what modern warfare IS"
Legionnaires who have seen the
picture say: "Don't miss FLASHES of

1passion Play Result of a Vow.

The Oberammergau Passion Play"
dramatic representation Of the suf-
ferings of Christ, originated from d
vow made by the inhabitants Of the
little Bavarian village in 1888. with
the hope of staying a plague then
raging. The original text praosnly
was made by the monks Of Ettal, but
the parish priests have since car.r ~
revised it. The music was composed
by Rochus Dedler In 1914. The play
is given by amateurs in purely rever-
entail spirit, and not for gain. 1t re-
quires a cast of about seven hundred
persons. In 1901 an $4,000 playhouse
was erected especially for the pres
entation, which is gives every ten
years. The first performance was
given In 1884.

out the hurley district for the past
several days that the warehouses OF
the association will be opened Mon
day, December 4, to begin receiving
the 1922 crop. While this has not
been confirmed by officials of the as
sociation. it is said that speakers in
the dark belt the past week have in
dicated that this will be about the
opening date.
IL is almost a certainty, we have
been reliably informed, that the open
ing date will not be later than Decem-
ber Is. This will be good news for the
farmers throughout the district.
In last weeks issue of the Augusta
Chronicle was the following article,
which would bear out the above:
Joseph r. Insko, who has been con-
nected with the hurley tobacco asso-
citation since its organization, and
whose headquarters are at Carroll
ton, spet the weekend with his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Insko, and
from him the Chronicle gathered
much information that will be of in
terest to tobacco growers who are
members of the association.
"Mr. Insko says that the sale of the
54,O00,O0O pounds of pooled tobacco
was completed on Monday night of
last week at Lexington, the r. j. Rey-
nolds Company being the principal
buyer, but a good portion of the to-
bacco was for export. On Tuesday
morning work of sampling the tobac-
co was commenced, and the buyers
will receive their purchase as fast as
it can be shipped to them.
"Mr. Insko says it is the opinion of
the officials of the association that
the third distributor Will be as large.
If not larger, than the two distribu-
tions that have already been made.
The farmers will get the money from
the third distribution at the earliest
possible moment, and there is not
much question but that it will be be-
fore Christmas"

AN OUTCAST!

Princess Newana Gayfsh, Winnie
bago Indian beauty of Hatfield, Wis,
upset a thousand years of tradition
and her own domestic life when she
bobbed her hair and introduced her
fellow Redmen to fiapperism. Her
father. Chief Running Wolf. and her
husband, Dan Gayfish, put on a war
dance that made the silent forests
sound like a reunion of boilermakers.
After the storm had cleared Newa-
ma found herself to be an exile, so far
as her relatives were concerned. But,
not being easily disturbed, she ac-
cepted her misfortune with a smile,
and that evening she and her infant
son turned their backs on the old res
ervation and went to Nebraska,
where an uncle left her $4,000 and a
large tract of land. She will attempt
to cultivate the land.
Newana is Is years old and has
been married for three years.

LADIES' HOME JOURNAL EDITOR
TELLS OF FIRST MODERN ROAD"


New light has Just been shed in
the discussion concerning the origin
and development of improved high
ways in the world. No less a person
age than Edward w. Box contributes
the newest bit of information.
Edward Box is one of the best
known publicists in the United States.
For thirty years he was editor Of
the Ladies' Home Journal. More
than a million readers felt they were
almost personally acquainted with
him while he was editorially active.
Thousands more have come to know
him through reading his famous au-
TYPOGRAPHY, "The Americanization of
Edward Box" He was born in Hol-
land.
II is generally known that Appius
Claudius, the Roman censor, built
the first really durable highway in
81 B. C. This highway. named the
Appian Way, runs from Rome to Ca
pua. It still exists and carries traf
fic. Although it involves many fear
lures applicable to present day con-
struction, the cost of building such
highway today would be prohibitive.
The Appian Way was built princi.
pally by slaves and was designed for
a military highwty. The labor cost
was practically nil. 1t was construct
ed of stone and mortar, frequently to
a depth of four feet, and was surfac-
ed with stone slabs or gravel.
The question, however. as to the or
igin of the modern type of highway
surface has always been in dispute.
Under modern types" are included
vitrified brick, asphalt and concrete.
Herein lies the interest in the follow
ing quotation taken from an article
written by Edward Box and publish
ed in the October issue of the Allan
tic Monthly. Under the title, well,
| Didn't Know That" Mr.. Box writes

built in Pennsylvania, when the con-
tractor said to me: Best kind of q

Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri,
that are from twenty-nine to theirty
two years old. with the road still in
excellent condition. We Americans

TARIFF AND BONUS VETO
BRING HALF A MILLION

Admissions that the Republican ma
tional committee is to spend at least
$500,000 in the present congressional
campaign were made by Fred Upham,
treasurer of the organization. in an
interview with a Washington repre-
sentative of the New York World. OF
this amount, he is quoted as having
said. S250.000 will have bee nexpend-
ed by October IS. The balance of a
quarter Of a million. apparently, is to
be reserved for the exigencies of the
last twelve days of the campaign.
Those familiar with the efforts the
Republican national committee and
the Republican congressional commit.
tee are making in various parts of
the country are not accepting Mr..
Upham's figure as large enough to
meet tn expense of hordes of speak
ers, vast quantities of literature and
floods of other propaganda being
sent into every quarter of the coun-
try by the Republican managers. 1t
is believed this is one of the costliest
congressional campaigns the Repub-
licans have, conducted in years.
1t is the common report in Wash
ington that since the Republican con-
gress passed the profiteers' tariff law,
defeated the soldiers adjusted COM
pensation bill and set the stage for
the enactmnt of the ship bonus bill,
large contributions have been made
to the Republican campaign fund.
The delay of the ship bonus bill, it
is commented, has proved to be an
advantage to the Republicans in OBJ
tanning funds. The bill has no chance
of passing in a Democratic congress.

PASSES IN YOUNG MANHOOD

Albert Kirk, aged 10. eldest son of
]. o. Kirk and wife, of the Grassy
Lick neighborhood, died at the Mary
Chiles Hospital this morning at 8
o'clock from appendicitis, following
an operation last Monday. Young
Kirk had chosen Christ and was a
member of the Methodist church at
Grassy Lick. Our report of this
young man is good and his act in con-
Tossing Christ is an index of those of
the second birth. Funeral services
will be conducted at the late home
by Rev. Ed Allen. Burial will take
place in Machpelah cemetery.
