and over to Mr.. Davis gate, where
they stopped, pretty we'll done from
running all the way from River Falls,
three miles, without losing the spring
seat or the blankets from the wagon.
We had just got the team back to
the barn and were unhitching, when
Nelson, having hired livery team,
from Bill Wells, came into the yard.
Tying the livery team behind his wa

In those days, from early fall,
throughout the winter and spring, one
could always see strings of teams all
the way from Beldenville to River
Falls, loaded with the finest cordwood,
and when Oakley was hauling wood
f-cm the divide west OF Forestvllle
to his lime kilns. 1t was some stir
in the the teaming line around the
Falls and on some of the hills, with
balky horses pulling the load up with
a rope tied with a loop in the horses
tail and the other end of the rope tied
to the end of The evener. Starting the
ether horse would surprise the balky
one, ard It would pull the load and
the other horse to the top of the hill
by its tail.
Yes, when / look back and see the
changes it is wonderful. | remember
the old reaper; four men running with
rakes on shoulders, Strengthening up
and tieing bundles and watching to
see how close the reaper was getting,
or if they would get rest at the end
of the line And the marsh harvester,
where you could ride and very often
boy and girl standing side by side
would do the binding.

of happy greetings.

REAL HORSESHOE PITCHING

Enclosed with a letter from his
uncle, who resides in st. Petersburg,
Fla, Henry Elliott of this city last
week received clippings from news
paper published there which gave the
details of the National Horseshoe
tournament, held in February. The
clippings were read with especial in
telest by members of the River Falls
Horseshoe Club, who thereby added
to their professional vocabulary if
not to their pitching ability.
The new champion, Harold Falor,
is 15-year old school boy of Akron,
Ohio. He won 20 games and lost
none, making tbs ringers, of which
100 were doubles. He pitched 1922
shoes.
The scores given in the contes. for
women make our local ''pros" haul
in the slack on the old ego too The
winner in that department slipped on
ia ringers, with Fl doubles, in 5
games, feat that isn't any too often
surpassed on the Syndicate lanes.
In fact, after perusing the Florida
scores some of us who freqrent the
courts here are wondering if we
would be allowed to even watch a
national meet from the bleachers, to
say nothing of taking part in one.
