Close Vote Against
New School Building

The high school auditorium was
packed, and there were large crowds
in the Railways and recitation
rooms waiting their turn to vote,
last Monday night when the matter
of new school building was brought
up for vote of the district, COM
prising the towns of River Falls AID
Troy and TIE City of River Falls.
1t was generally expected that the
proposition would be voted down by
at least a wo-thirds majority, and the
result of the ballot, showing 221
for and 237 against, was great sur
prise to everyone.
Those who are urging new school
quarters are greatly encouraged, and
hope that the propositions can be put
up in some manner which will be en-
tirely acceptable.
There appears to be no doubt but
that new building is needed, and
if it can be worked out in such a
way as to insulh no taxation hard
ships, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the proposition will carry.

Jubilee Festival At
South Rush River

On Sunday, Oct. %, the eongrega-
ton of Our Savior's Church al
South Rush River celebrated the
.fftieth anniversary of the building OF
their church.
Long before the building was erect.
ed tie pioneers of this settlement
most of whom have now gone to
their eternal rest, assembled in the
school house to hold their services.
AS long ago as 1867 the Rush
River, South Rush River and North
Rush River communities organized
i,.so one large district and Rev. 0. J.
Hagestad was called to serve the
united district as pastor. Rev. DR..
Larson and Rev. Mr.. Brandt had
been preaching in the territory for
several years previous.
Peter Aasterud served as the first
secretary of the new district, with
E. Hagestad and M. Lundgaard as
trustees and Ole T. Moeig as deacon.
In 1873 the Rush River and South
Rush River sections separated from
the North Rush River alliance, and III
that year commenced the building OF
their own church edifiee.
Rev. M. Thorsen, who had been
acting as chaplain to Rev. o. j..
Hagestad, was called to the pastor
ate in 1874, Rev. Hagestad resigning
on account of poor health. Rev. Mr..
Thorsen served these two charges
faithfully and well during forty
three years, when he, too, resigned
on account of failing health. Only
thrd4 charter members of the church
survive-T. 0. Moen, who served as
deacon, E. p Bjerking and NJ. G.
Messing.
In 1897 the building was painted
and redecorated, and this summer it
was raised and full-sized base
NEXT put underneath. Dinner was
served by the ladies of the congrega-
ton in the new basement Sunday
Sunday mornings sermon was de-
livered by Rev. N. L. Blomholm of
Hudson, and Rev. Mr.. Nordby of
Baldwin preached IN the afternoon.
His sermon was followed by a his
torical sketch of the church by Rev
2. Ordahl, the present pastor.
A mission offering of $4,000 was
collected at the services.

River Falls Team
Harder Than Rock S

The Orange & White proved too
much for the grid. warriors VIII
represented Ed. Rocks school at
Hudson last Friday, and the River
Falls boys returned home with an
IS to victory.
River Falls l,iceived the kick off
and on the first play Capt Dawson
tore off 80 yards, following that a
moment later with 20-yd dash to
the goal for the first score, after but
minutes of play. Goal was missed.
River Falls 6.
Hudson then received, but we're
forced to punt. Carisch made a 90
yd. return. Line plunges brot the
ball to Hudson's 1-yd. line, from
where Carisch went over. Again
goal was missed River Falls u.
Hudson then opened up with pas
ses, the first taking them to the 20
yd. lina. After couple of at
tempts at the line another pass re-
suited ir touchdown. The try at
goal was missed. River Falls II:
Hudson 6.
The third quarter was thriller,
featured by Capt. Dawson's 50-yd.
dash and a pass over the goal line
which nearly, but not quite scored.
In the fourth period Dawson, Hayes
tad and O'Malley made some bril-
liant line plunges, and Ray dove
thru for the final score after pass
from Dawson to Smith had placed the
ball OF Hudson's 2-yd. line. Goal
was again missed, and the game
ended, River Falls IS, Hudson 6.
Herman Hagestad, substituting at
fullback for Lowell Dawson, who was
cut of the game on account of ill
ness, made a splendid showing, and
perhaps has won regular job there.
Lowell, when abe to return, may be
put in at the other half or end.
The game was slowed up consider
able on account of the wet grounds,
but both teams put up clever ex-
hibition and game fight through
out.
The Orange & White will battle
the Orange & Black at New Rich
mond next Saturday. The Cyclone
City team trimmed Chippewa Fails,
10 to 6, last Saturday, and is said
to have shown great improvement in
its last game. Chippewa Falls had
already defeated Menomcnic high,
so Saturdays tilt will be a good in
dication of River Falls rating in
this section of the state.

BEAVERS MENACE HIGHWAYS

Came Warden C. S. Little may
soon face the task of again blowing
up huge beaver dam now in process
of construction on creek near Boyd,
Chippewa county.
Early in the summer he was forced
to blow a dam built by the indus
trious beavers at the same point on
the creek, because the dam held
back a sufficient fiowage of water to
submerge part of the highway and
force vehicles 70 detour. Farmers
in the vicinity have just reported to
Mr.. Little that the beavers are busily
constructing another dam and the
same trouble is looked for.
81 dislike to break up beaver dams
with winter just head" Mr.. Little said.
However, the roads must be kept
open. The law provides that traps
cannot be set for any bearing
animals within 500 feet of bea 'er
dam and the only way to trap the
beavers that are proving obnoxious
is to trap them on the trail Will
they are hauling their timber to tbs
flowage."
The dam, it is said, is being sub
stantially built, the best timber avail
able is being used. When this dam !,
completed, the beavers will begin o,
second dam and the material fol
this will be floated up stream fror
the lower dam, and the same pro
gram will be carried on until the tEirC
dam is completed.
1t takes a lot of dynamite wei
placed to destroy one of these beaver
dams, Mr.. Little says.

And found my wife had gone away.
No dinner, but upon the table,
Set two quart bottles ard label,
All marked with color bright and

"Have you had your Milk today Z"
I'm drinking milk just like baby
This rage is making wife lady.
No more cooking, no not now,
Since we're living from the cow.
Let's just think it but don't say,
"Have you had your Milk today"
And now I've struck a happy though
Since food from the COW I've sough
No more Doctor trips for me,
No more grocery bills I'll see
Ard you ara apt to hear me say,
"Havo you had your Milk today"

HE WAS LUCKY y
TO GET THE COMP

The editor of neighboring country
weekly, hearing a waitress at a church
society dinner announce to those
serving that she was waiting on a
"deadhead," meaning the editor, who
had only contributed some 5000 worth
of advertising to the society during
the year ard had received reluctant
comp" and lots of abuse in return,
decided that thereafter he would pay
for his feeds-and that the societies
would pay for their advertising.
Another publisher got dubious
thrill out of a call-down which fol-
lowed an error in the free publication
of church society menu, which he
copied from a poster that the society
had PAID to have printed-at anoth-
er shop.

CHAPMAN DALE FARMS
HAVE FAMOUS HERD SIRE

John l.. Chapman, Jr, has recently
received interesting information con-
corning the Holstein Freisian SIR
now in service at the head ct his fine
herd of registered cattle. The dam
of this bull was sold at the lover
Dee Farms dispersal sale October l6
and II, which farm has been her home
since a calf. Mr.. w. ". Walker,
owner of the farms and also from
whom Mr.. Chapman purchased his
bull, wrote the following letter In
regard to the sale Of this wonderful
COW X. X. Pontiac Lass Arlene, the
pride of his herd:
Austin, Minnesota
Oct 10, 1928.
Mr.. John L. Chapman, Jr.,
River Falls, Wis.
Dear Sir:
| have your letter of October 10Th
inquiring about Arlene, and in reply
will say that she was purchased by
the Minnesota Holstein company OF
Austin, who are putting her on Of
fetal test Immediately. The day of
the sale, with all it's disturbance, she
MIXED 100 lbs. and has been milking
considerably over 100 lbs. since the
first of October. She freshened Sep
TENDER 10th. Her baby calf sold for
100000, and she sold for $4,000.
She has been Grand Champion fe-
male at shows three times. l en-
close here with pedigree of her year
ling calf which was sold. She has,
however another record of 901.94 lbs.
of butter and 1921 lbs. of milk in
sos days as four year old. In the
sale we sold two Of her sons and two
of her daughters, which, including
the $4,000 which she brought, came
to over 100000. She is wonderful
COW and you are to be congratulated
in owning one of her sons. l am
willing to wager that, subject to &C
cident or disease, she will be the
Grand Champion female at the Min
nesota State, Fair next year if shown.
Assuring you that it is pleasure
to me to give you the information,
remain,
Very Truly yours,

Mr.. Chapman is just beginning to
receive fine bunch of offspring from
this herd sire. They are show type
calves like their sire, who took the
Grand Champion honors at both the
River Falls Inter County Stock Show
and The Pierce County Fair this year.
Mr.. Chapman is endeavoring to build
up as fine a herd of Holsteins as
there is in the state. He has the
right kind of cattle to do it with also
with show type and large production
back of them. The herd now con-
sists of about 80 head and increas-
ing rapidly. Preparations are being
made to make official records on
several of the cows this winter.
