1--WE, the farmers, bankers ard

that the board may re-establish the
office in consideration of the popular
sentiment of the farmers.

For River Falls

With Capt. Dawson and Ray
O'Malley taken out of the game on
account of injuries, New Richmond
was able to rose out a 8 to victory
over River Falls at the Cyclone City
last Saturday.
Fumbles marred the play through

out the two stars, River Falls out
played their opponents and kept the
ball in New Richmond territory most
of the time.
New Richmond scored first in the
secord quarter on a perfect drop
kick by Lynch from the 30-yd. line
Their touchdown came as the resul;
of a forward pass over the line just
at the close of the game.

an excellent showing, not only in the
craft of football, but as clean, honor
able sportsmen, ard the school and
