JOHNSON TIN SHOP
ROBBED OF GUNS

The o. M. Johnson Tin Shop, which
adjoins the Odd Fellows hall on s.
Main street was broken into last
Thursday night and robbed o. about
$500 worth of shotguns: rifles and
ammunition.
That the robbery was the work of
young local talent is indie ted By
small but clearly defined finger
prints found on pane of glass from
the window in Odd Fellows hall,
through which admittance was gain
ed. The selection of guns and Other
things concerning the robbery also
strengthens the belief that the deed
was committed by some young boys
of this community.
After trying the rear door of the
tin shop ard failing in efforts to
open it, the thieves pried open a
window in the Odd Fellows building.
A door between the two buildings
was broken down to gain entrance to
the shop.
The thieves then made their selec-
ton of firearms as follows: one
Remington and one Winchester II
gauge shot gun, both pumps" g
Remington 80 cailbre pump rifle; a
5000 Winchester Carbine rifle, bolt
action; Winchester % expert"
repeater rifle; Lewis % single
shot, bolt action rifle; Martin .22
repeater rifle; Colts 80 automatic
pistol with shoulder holster and
shells for the pistol; some cleaning
rods for the shotguns and rifles, and
a secondhand marine spy-glass, the
rims OF which had been Clipped.
John Bradley, stone-marker at the
Melgard Monument Works, who
sleeps in tent at the rear OF that
establishment, heard noises in the hall
or shop about two o'clock Friday
morning, but thinking that it was
someone closing up the hall after a
party, did not investigate.
Mr.. Johnson carried no theft in
surance.

ENGLISH LUTHERAN PARISH
INSTITUTE is POSTPONED

The first meeting of the English
Lutheran Parish Sunday School In
stitute originally planned to be held
in River Falls the first part of this
month has been postponed until
later day and will not be held until
later this fall when the rush of pre-
paration for the work of the year has
subsidized and when the results hoped
for from the institute can be inn
mediately and effectively applied to
TIE .unday .caool then IN full swing.
When the institute meeting was
first planned it was thought to COM
bine the institute idea and the usual
fall rally but being that the former
has been postponed the regular
"Rally Sunday" for the Sunday
schools will be held next Sunday, as
is the order of the day Uhruout the
Lutheran churches. 1t is hoped that
the Sunday school attendance will
register 100 per cent and that the
people interested in the religious in
struction of the young will seek to
enroll their children on that day.
The Lutheran Sunday school year,
as far as regular class work is COR
cerned, begins a week from next
Sunday, Sept. 16, and therefore it is
| for the good of the children that
they be present next Sunday in order
to receive the necessary preliminary
books. There will be no regular
class work next Sunday as the time
will be taken up with promoting de-
serving ones, assigning the children
to their new classes, seeing to it
that they get the books for the higher
grade, enrolling new pupils and CIV
ing them their class assignments and
books. And then there will also be
talks by Sunday school workers.
For the institute meeting that will
be held sometime this fall Rev. H..
P. Grimsby, President of our National
Lutheran Sunday school association,
has been secured as speaker and
will give at least one address. There
will be papers and talks by different
Sunday school workers and the
various problems pertaining to Sun
day school life will be considered.
1t is planned to have the institute
meeting on a Sunday so that all
people interested in Lutheran Sun
day school work may attend; and TO
noon and evening sessions.
The proposed institute meeting is
not only for Sunday school officers
and teachers but for the children as
well and for the parents in particular.
The problems discussed will be such
nature and Importance as o in
terest everybody.

RIVER FALLS A CLEAN CITY
(Contributed)

iCOHtTlUuttuJ
We often hear that this is what
our city has been called by tourists
who visit US.
We do not wish to lose our reputa-
ton. We do not wish our city other
wise than clean; but, citizens, there
are many places just now, VIII re
rag weeds and other weeds, too high
for the lawn mower, are growing in
alleys, on the street corners and even
in front of lawns making an UNI
slightly appearance.
Some of these weeds make it hard
for our citizens who have asthma or
hay fever, to remain here.
The Improvement League, which
has always worked for beautiful
and clean city, is asking you if you
will not clean up the unsilghtly
spots that may be near your homes.
We do not feel this an unreasonable
request to make at this time. We do
not wish any spots to become a
menance. Perhaps some who have
not lived here long, are not aware
of the great work the Improvement
League has done in River Falls.
Since it organization we have
raised and spent thousands Of dollars,
to help. We have always worked in
harmony with our city council and
Park board. For some years we
maintained the rest room and paid
its caretaker, until state law re-
quired an incorporated city to do
this work, which we cheerfully passed
it over to the .city council, so that
at the present time the Improvement
League has nothing to do with the
management of the rest room. We
have the privilege, however, of hold
ing our meetings there, and are very
willing to pay for the care of the
lawn in front of the library and rest
room, also the hospital lawn.

The confusion regarding this mat

work has arisen from misinterpre-
tation of the action of the Normal
Board of Regents above referred to.
The purpose of this communication
is to call the attention of students
to the fact that Normal School

J. LEO BROWN

j. Leo Brown, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Brown of this city, was born in
the Town of Warren, ST. Croix county,
Wisconsin, December IL, 1908.
He spent his youth and attended
school in that community. He later
attended and graduated from St.
Mary's school in New Richmond, and
went to the high school in that city
for year. He then attended ST.
Johns college at Collegeville, Mimi,
and afterwards took three years
training at st. Thomas college, st.
Paul. Two years ago he attended
the River Falls Normal school, and
planned to take the commercial
course at the Whitewater Normal
school this year.
He was to have returned to his
home here and then leave for White
water, but two weeks before the
date upon which he was to arrive he
was killed between two ore cars at
Chisholm, Mimi, where he was EN-
ployed as timekeeper at the Dun
woody Mine.
"Budd," as he was more familiarly
known, was very popular and well
liked wherever he was known.
While at st. Thomas he was MEM
Der of the R. 0. I. C. and at Camp
Custer, Mich, he won the sharp
shooter medal and completed the
Senior Basic Course with distinction.
The esteem in which his employers
and fellow employees at the Dun
woody Mine held him was demonstra-
ted by their genuine sympathy for
the stricken family and the thorough
attention to every detail for the care
of the remains and the comfort of
those who were attend the last trip
home. The superintendent, on be-
half of his company, and of Budd's
fellow employees, also sent a beauti-
full floral wreath for the casket
The fatal accident occurred on
Wednesday, August %, ami the re-
mains, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Brown, and Budd's uncle, Mr..
Leonard Cushing of Chisholm, were
brought to the home here Friday.
On Sunday about seventy-fve men,
bers of the Knights of Columbus
fraternity at Hudson drove down to
pay their last respects to departed
brother. The following day the re-
mains were taken to Hammond, where
requiem mass by Fathers Cunning
ham and Dickoph was held in st.
Mary's Catholic church. The pail
bearers were Messrs. Fred Brown,
Lloyd Clennon, Lawrence Brown,
Harold Jenkins, Leonard Gushing
and Clarence Ottum. A firing squad
from the 107th Ammunition Train,
River Falls unit of the Wisconsin
National Guard, of which Budd had
been a member, gave the final mill
tary salute at the grave.
The young mans universal popula-
rity was manifest in the large at
tendance at the funeral, and the
great assemblage of beautiful
floral tributes, from his EN-
ployers at Chisholm, from the
X. of C. lodges at that city and Hib-
bling, Mimi, and Hudson, and from
many others who knew and loved
him.

IN CORRECTION
College Credit of Normal School
Courses

A false impression regarding col
lege credit for courses taken In
Normal Schools appears to have been
given circulation. This false impress
sion has arisen, no doubt, from action
taken by the Normal Board of Re-
gents in eliminating the definitely
organized college courses in certain
of the Normal Schools, with the view
to requiring these schools 10 devote
their energies exclusively to teacher
training work.
This action, however, does not
mean that work taken in Normal
School will not be given credit at
colleges and universities as hereto
fore. Very definite credit arrange
ments have been entered into be-
tween the Normal School and Uni
versity of Wisconsin, as well as
other institutions of higher educa-
ton, whereby the graduates of
Normal Schools are given very def
mite rating as to credits, as set forth
in the University of Wisconsin cato
log and in catalogs of the several
Normal Schools.
Students who do not desire to
teach may enter a Normal School by
paying an additional fee and may
take any of the academic work offered
in the teachers training courses of
the institution, and may transfer
credits thus aquired to The univer-
