A Limited Language.

IN Don Quixote. Dona Rodriguez
says of her husband: "He is as
well born a king, because he comes
from the mountains" and when San
cho Panza. as governor of Barataria,
seeks secretary. one Of his attend
ants exclaims: Il. sir. am the man, for
I can read and write. and, moreover,
/ am a Basque" with that addi-
tion." says Sancho, you are fit to be
secretary to an emperor"
The Basque people are pleasantly
described by an American who has
visited their little known country.
They have. 1t appears, the natural,
active politeness of the Irish, with
out servility; the sagacity of the
Scotch. without "dourness"; the
steady self-respect of the upper
classes of England, without Saxon
stupidity. The first impression of
this people. as one settles among
them, is of extraordinary force, no.
bility and intelligence. Dignity is
stamped on, their faces and an air of
high-minded, simple sincerity in
spires absolute confidence.
Though the Basque is the most
difficult Of all languages to acquire,
the smallest child, conscious of his
own thoughts, can express himself
perfectly in it.
Each word depends on the thought
alone Of the person who speaks it.
One word translates will, desire,
fancy. thought. There is no express
sion for abstract ideas and few ex-
pressions that imply COLLECTIVELY or
generalization. There is no single
word for God. He is the Master on
High" There is no word for law.
king. animal. They cannot say "a
sister," but only "the sister OF a
mana woman"
1t is said that in vigor, word-paint-
ing and locutions this is the richest
Of all languages. This may be partly
due to the fact that nouns, pronouns
and adjectives change into verbs at
will. and verbs may be transformed
into nouns and adjectives. Every
part Of speech. and even the letters
of the alphabet, are declined like
nouns. and adjectives are corrugated
like verbs. AS might be inferred, the
literature is scant and poor in works
of Imagination.

REINCKE, NELSON WIN CAPS

Reincke, of the Red and White, and
Mat. Nelson of the River Falls high,
were each awarded their choice of any
cap in the Bjerstedt & Benson store
as a result of making the longest
gains in their respective games last
Saturday.
Reincke plowed through the entire
Oshkosh team for as yards, being
overtaken from the rear and downed
on the Oshkosh 20-yard line. 1t gave
River Falls a grand opportunity to
score, but on the next play the OPP
portunity was spoiled when the Red
and White were penalized Is yards
for holding.
Mat Nelson was awarded the prize
in the River Falls high school game
at Stevens Point only after consider
able discussion. The Orange and
White, for the first time this season,
were unable to pull off any long runs,
and it was matter of feet rather
than yards which decided in favor Of
Mat.

HAYWARD RESIGNS AS COACH

Professor H. E. Hayward has re-
signed as football coach at the Nor
NAL School. He will continue his du-
ties in the Biology Department and as
Registrar.
Mr.. Hayward, who succeeded Prof
essor B. E. Swenson as coach, has had
splendid success in that work, devel-
oping teams that have brought great
credit to the school, not only by the
victories which they have won, but
more especially for the spirit of
gentlemanly craftsmanship and fair
play which every one of Hayward S
teams has shown in victory or in de-
feat during the past six seasons.
George Simpson, of the Eau Claire
Normal school, for the past four
years, has also resigned, and will
devote his time hereafter to his aca-
demic teaching there.
M. Hayward was a Minnesota uni
versity gridiron star. Simpson gain
ed his football experience on the L.
of Wisconsin campus.
Neither school has as yet announc-
ed any plans as to successors for the
resigned coaches.

METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL

Next Sunday, Nov. 26, is the day
when everyone connected with the
Sunday school and church is going to
Sunday school so that our plan of a
1909 attendance may not fail. We
want at least 1926 present and hope
that everyone now enrolled will not
only come but bring with them new
members who are not now attending
any other Sunday school. The teach
ers and officers are all working on
this problem and results must fol-
low.
The Sunday school board met for
it's Nbvonber session last week on
Wednesday night. A committee of
men served a very excellent oyster
supper which was enjoyed by 45 peo-
pie. About 60 attended the business
meeting and Bible study hours which
followed. Miss Lumby, Mr.. Karges
and Mrs. Taylor assisted Mr.. Bird in
the presentation of the lesson.
The board decided to observe
Christmas by the use of the white
gifts for the king" plan and COM
mittees are now at work to make it
a succdssful and inspirational SER
vice. 1t is hoped that rot only men,
bers of the Sunday school, but every
member of the church and all others
who do not attend some other church,
will want to take part. The service
is to be at twilight instead of later
on Christmas eve, so that all who
wish may enjoy the evening at home
or attend some other service.
There is to be an colder Boys Con-
ference" at La Crosse, the Friday
Saturday and Sunday after Thanks
giving, under the auspices of the Y.
NJ. C. A. Several boys from the Sun
clay school are going, paying their
own expenses if possible, brit anyone
who is interested in helping pay
their expenses will have the opportr
nifty next Sunday. 1t is the finest
thing of its kind for boys that has
been within our reach for some time
and we hope that as many as possible
will go.

NO MORE PILLSBURY
FLOUR FOR US

The other day the local agent for
Pillsbury flour walked into our office
and informed us that we were selling
flour too cheap in our Cash and Garry
department and that we must raise
it to conform with the regular stipu-
lated price of this commodity.
We told him that it was contrary
to our policy to enter into any price
agreement whatever; that we Thought
that a customer who bought his gro
ceries in that department and paid
cash or the equivalent in eggs or pro-
duce and carried it home was entitled
to a lower price than the one who
phoned his order in, had it delivered
and charged fof an indefinite period.
All that service costs money and
why should customer who does not
use it pay share of the expense of
the one who does?
We told him that we made it a
point to sell everything in the Cash
and Carry department at price of
5 to 10 cents lower than the regular
grocery store price, and we proposed
to continue doing it. He said in that
case he would not accept any more or
ders from us for flour, and left the
office.
So it is probable that for time at
least, we shall be unable to supply our
customers with Pillsbury flour, but
we will have other brands just as
good
An attempt to dictate to us at what
price we shall sell our own merchan-
disc makes us "kind of muleish" and
we will be in desperate need of flour
before we will submit to it.
We ask your patience and for
bearance for few days.

Edna Means

Miss Edna Means, noted interpre-
tative reader, who is to appear on
the local Lyceum course Wednesday
evening, ranks among the foremost
professional entertainers on the Ly-
ceum and Chautauqua platform.
In a cleverly assembled group of
readings, "From the Passing Crowd"
Miss Means has drawn upon the peo-
pie of real, everyday life for her in
spiration. Her character-sketches
entertain, amuse ana instill friend
ly spirit of helpfulness and good
will towards others. No one will
forget her presentation of the
"Whistling Boy" or the farmer who
would go back to the farm, two char
acters almost invariably included in
her program.
Miss Means is an untiring student
of human nature and, to quqte the
Des Moines, Iowa, Register, "she has
wonderful voice, a charming per-
sonality and an unusual mastery of
her art" She achieves a gratifying
success in her every appearance.
Miss Means was secured for the.
local Lyceum course through the well
known Redpath Bureau.

OSHKOSH WINS. 8 TOO

Last Saturday saw perhaps the
largest crowd that has ever assembl-
ed about River Falls gridiron to
witness a football game.
When Oshkosh kicked off to the
Red and White that afternoon 1t is
estimated that there were nearly q
500 people on hand to see the battle.
And they all stayed to the finish-a
finish that carried victory back to
Oshkosh for the third consecutive
year..
It was a game of brilliant flashes
of offense, AMI stubborn, relentless
defense. Both teens had moments
of glory. when their backfield men
tore out for long, twisting gains
that kept the crowd in uproar. And,
with their respective goals threaten
ed, both machines buckled down to a
stonewall defense that smothered ev-
ery attack under an avalanche OF de-
tenders.
Reincke, until carried from the
field with the tendons of one foot bad
" torn, was the all round star OF the
shambles. His 47-yard run through
the entire Oshkosh ensemble was the
afternoons big feature play. The
Oshkosh McAndrews took all honors
on the offense. He also ramblad
along for 45-yard gain, but his Ell
fort was fruitless because team
mate was caught in rank foul and
the play was called back for penal
ty.
River Falls had all the better OF it
in the first and during considerable
portion of the third period. But Osh-
kosh finally, with but two minutes
left to play, slipped over quick place
kick for the only counter of the bat
tie, and the game ended, Ito 0, IN
their favor.
Thus closed the season for River
Falls: two conference victories-La
Crosse and Stout; one tie-Eau
Claire; and two defeats-Superior
and Oshkosh.
Practice has now begun for the
basketball season, which the Red and
Wri;e will open against Dunwoody,
Dec. 9.

BURNS WINS MATCH

Before a small audience at the Ar
mory last night Farmer Burns took
two out of three falls from F. Tyler
in the main go of a wrestling card
staged by the 107th Am. Train.
Burns won the first fall in 1919 min
utes and the third in 10 minutes,
both with body sissors and arm lock.
Tyler won a quick decision in the Sec
end round, taking less than minute
to pin Burns down with a hammer
lock.
Pace threw Jack Howe in 712 min
utes, and Linehan and Billy Cole
went 20 minutes to draw in the pre-
liminaries.
On Dec. 6, Pace and Tyler are to be
the feature attraction in a match to
be held in the Armory. 1t will be a
finish tussle, best two out of three,
and as they are both local boys and
evenly matched the affair will un-
doubtedly be great drawing card.
Young Brown of North Dakota, a
cousin of AL. Brown of this city, is to
appear against good opponent here
on some future card. Brown won
medal as champion light heavyweight
of the Isl Infantry in the army Olym-
les held at Coblentz, Germany. He
was at the ringside last night and
challenged the winner of the Tyler
Burns match.
Young Reynolds of Hudson will APP
pear on the next program against To-
cal talent.

A GRAND HOMECOMING

The drenching rain which followed
two perfect days seemed to inspire
even greater enthusiasm into the
spirit of River Falls NormaPs first
annual Homecoming last Saturday,
and the affair was grand srccess
in every particular.
The celebration started with big
mass meeting Friday evening, and a
parade, led by the band, down onto
Main street, in driving rain.
Practically every business place in
the city was appropriately decorated
in River Falls and Oshkosh colors,
and many show windows carried elab-
borate designs or cleverly arranged
displays. Many homes were also de-
corated. The cooperation of the towns
people was a big factor in the cordial
Homecoming welcome.
The school, using the 10th Am.
Train army trucks, and led by the
band, staged spectacular parade
Saturday noon.
After the ball game there was an
informal dance in the South Hall
GYM, and the days festivities closed
with grand Homecoming Ball in the
North Hall gym.

Obituary
Mrs George c. Ames

On Monday evening, Nov. Is, Mrs
George C. Ames died in st. Paul
where she had gone ten days before
for an operation. From the first il
was known that her condition was
critical, but she had gone through he
operation so successfully that hel
friends and relatives expected her
early recovery. 1t was only a feT
hours before her death that it be-
came apparent that her strength was
not sufficient to withstand the shock,
and she passed peacefully asleep be-
fore relatives from River Falls could
reach her bedside.
Mrs. Ames' maiden name was Nan
cy Main. She was Of New England
parentage, though born near Mon
treal, Canada, where her parents re-
sided for a short time. She was but
a child when they located near Shoe
ton, Wisconsin. Her father was a
pioneer farmer in that locality and
the family had all the necessary hard
ships belonging to such conditions.
In 1869 she was united in marriage
to George C. Ames, also near Shoe
ton, and for more than forty years
they resided in that neighborhood and
Mr.. Ames engaged in farming. Mrs.
Ames was very active in all commu-
nifty and church work. 1t was large
ly through her leadership that a
church was organized and a church
building erected. She was woman
of rare courage and unselfishness and
these qualities made her leader in
all enterprises undertaken for the
betterment of the community. These
same qualities were especially mani
fest in her home. She ever sought
to impress upon her sons the import
ance of equipping themselves to fill
useful places in life. No sacrifice
was too great if only her sons could
become educated. She was mem
Der of the Congregational church
from her girlhood, and there was tru-
ly manifested in her life and charac-
ter the Christian graces.
Brief funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. o. Thrush at the
home of her son, Pres. J. fl. Ames,
and the body was laid to rest in
Greenwood Cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ames had resided in
River. Falls a little more than two
years having come here to be near
their son, Pres. Ames.
Mrs. Ames is survived by her hus-
band, George C. Ames, and three
sons, Pres. j. H. Ames, River Falls.
George C. Ames, Lewiston, Idaho,
and Merl M. Ames, Stevens Point,
Wis, all of whom were present at the
funeral services. A nephew, Roy
Sawyer, of Shiocton, Wis. was also
present.
