TWO BUILDINGS AT
BELDENVILLE BURNED

The barn of George Richardson and
the granary of Mrs. L. L. Larson at
Beldenville were totally destroyed by
fire about twelve O'Clock Saturday
night. The cause of the fire is I'M
known. The granary contained about
1000 bushels of grain and this was
destroyed as was also about 80 cords
of wood belonging to Mr.. Richardson.
The loss on both building is covered
by insurance.
The chemical cart of the River
Falls fire department came out ard
was ready to prevent the fire from
spreading to adjoining buildings.
A dance was in progress at the
pavilion and it is thought that some
one may have carelessly thrown a
match or cigarette butt and caused
the fire.-Ellsworth Record.

Girls Meet
To Honor Mrs. Quick
(By An 0. A. c.

Tuesday, the 25th, was day long
to be remembered by the Old Academy
Girls when we met at Glen Park to
do honor to Fanny Stevens Quick,
one of the original members of the
organization.
After the bountiful dinner, while
we sat at the table, she entertained
us with descriptions of her island
home, telling Of the mountains and
valleys, flowers and fruits, and the
wonderful harbor of Honolulu. In
spite of Hawaii being "the most
beautiful country in the world" she
told US, could she bring the climate
of Honolulu to River Falls she
would like to spend the remainder OF
her life here.
Mrs. Gulick is the daughter of
Rev. VIM. Stevens, the first pastor
of the Congregational Church OF this
city, and spent her childhood here.
She graduated from Oberlin College
in 1876 and went to Japan as a mis-
sionary, living one year in Kobe and
then locating in Osaka. Some years
later she was married to Rev. John
T. Gulick, also missionary to Japan.
After twenty-three years of service
in that land, they returned to Homo
lulu, her husbands birthplace, where
she has lived ever since. Her only
daughter, Mrs. Robert Whitaker, is
carrying on the good work Of her
parents and is new a missionary in
the Shantung Mission, Lintsine
China.
Mrs. Gulick left Wednesday morn
ing to spend the winter with her son,
Addison, professor of Medical
Chemistry in the University Of Mis-
souri,.

the new regulations, enlisted MEM
bers of National Guard Unit are
permitted to hold commissions in the

Orange ( White Win
Opening Grid. Battle
BY Gordon Teare

Coach Klanrud's proteges opened
the local football season last Satur-
day with 20 to win over the South
st. Paul high school squad. The
game was played on the high school
campus. The Orange & White or
ganization is an exceptionally clever
machine, and deserve the whole
hearted support of the community
which the boys represent. Future
games should draw at leat twice the
attendance of last Saturday.
The game was hard fought through
out, the visitors giving much sitter
opposition than the score would in
dictate. The Packers kicked off to
Capt. Dawson, who returned to the
Boyd line. IA River Falls tumble
was recovered by the Packers, who
started steady drive to the goal.
They had reached the 30-yd. line at
the close of the first quarter.
In the second period the Orange &
White line braced, recovered the ball
and carried it back to the visitors
lloyd. line, from where Capt. Daw-
son plunged through for the first
touchdown. The goal was missed,
and the half closed with the score 6
to in River Falls favor.
South ST. Paul came back strong
in the second half, and were on the
offensive most of the third quarter,
until tumble was recovered by
Farrell. Farrell, Olson, Martin,
Smith and Jensen pounded the
Packer line for steady gains, carry
ing the ball far into enemy territory.
Lowell Dawson then slashed his way
through for the second touchdown,
and followed by kicking goal, bring
ing the total to IS for River Falls.
Bliss was substituted for Standish
at half, and made a good showing.
Toward the close of the third quar-
ter one of the Packers best players
broke his collar bone and retired
from the game.
The teams battled on even terms
throughout the final period, until
Bliss, grabbing pass out of the
ether, raced over for the final touch
down. Lowell Dawson kicked goal,
and the game ended 20 to 0, in favor
of River Falls.
Captain Lawrence Dawson handled
the team in fine shape, and displayed
driving attack that was good to see,
Collins, at center, Standish at half,
and Carisch at quarter, also deserve
prominent mention, although team
work, in which every player shared
honors, was the especially bright
feature of the exhibition.
Next Saturday River Falls high
will journey to Red Wing, and hard,
fast game is expected there. Many
local enthusiasts plan to motor over
to take it in.

FOREIGN NILSSON SOCIETY

sILO OWNERS FORTUNATE

Farmers who own one or more OF
Wisconsin's $4,000 silos are fortunate,
particularly if their corn crop was
damaged by the recent heavy
frosts. The silo provides the best
means of salvaging the feeding value
of the crop.
According to F. B. Morrison of the
state agriculture experiment station,
the crop should be ensiled as soon as
possible after it is killed by frost,
for if it is allowed to stand in the
fields rains will wash out most of the
nutriment from the frosted forage,
and the winds will also whip off the
dried, brittle leaves.
If the crop is very immature when
it is frosted, it will make silage which
is too watery and sour if the fodder
is put into the silo with all the water
present in such immature plants. If
the fodder is cut at once, the bundles
may be allowed to lie in the field UNI
til the fodder is dried out a trifie.
When there is large acreage of
frosted corn, quite often before the
last of it can be cut and ensiled it
will have dried out too much to make
good silage. In this case enough
water should be added as the fodder
is ensiled SO that the material will
pack well.
When frost strikes the corn crop
before it reaches the usual stage for
silage, less feeding value will be OBJ
tanned from the crop than if it had
not been frosted. This is because the
greatest shortage of nutrients occurs
in corn during the latter stages of
growth, after the kernels develop and
as they are being filled with rich
nutrients. The silo, however, will
preserve what feeding value there is
in the crop in a form where the
greatest return possible can be OBJ
tanned from it.

DONALD WIGER

This community was deeply shock
ed by the tragic death last Sunday
afternoon of Master Donald Wiger,
twelve year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
HI. N. Wiger. The boy had been
spending the afternoon with his pal,
Master Roy Hanson, at the farm
home of the latter parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris. Hanson, in the town of
Troy. The boys had gone out to the
pasture after the cows when they
saw Mr.. and Mrs. Wiger driving into
the yard, and ran to meet them. Roy
who was carrying small-calibre
rifle, stumbled and fell when they
were about twenty yards from the
house. The gun was discharged and
the bullet struck Donald in the tenn
pie, death resulting instantly.
Donald was born in the tom of
Troy July IL, 1911. A few months
later the family moved to this city,
and had resided here ever s.nc,. He
was staunch member of the Eng
lish Lutheran Sunday school, ard
was attending the local pubic school
at the time of his death. A bright,
energetic little fellow, he was always
popular among his schoolmates,
teachers and other friends, loved by
all who knew him.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
parents, two sisters, Hiss Florence

PIERCE COUNTY CHURCH
SCHOOL RALLIES
Last Sunday at Ono, Next Sunday
at Diamond Bluff, and October Z, at
the Ellsworth M. E. Church.

At the church school rally at the
Ono NJ E. church, Sunday afternoon,
Sept. %, the east section of the
county sustained its reputation as
strong supporter of the church school
effort, and for it's vital, enduring in
terest in the work of religious educa-
ton. The schools of this section
were among the pioneers in the or
ganized Sunday school movement in
this country. The first teacher
training classes in the county were
started in certain schools in this sec
ton, and at this time, it is evident
these schools are not going to yield
their positions as leaders in this
good work. The conference of pas
tors and superintendent, at the
close of the session Sunday afternoon,
disclosed the fact that constructive
and progressive plans of work TO,
the coming year are under way in
this group. Maiden Rock is building
an addition to their church, which
will provide the room necessary for
properly grading their school. Some
of the schools are reorganizing,
partially or entirely, in order to
better meet their present needs.
Others are taking up new phases of
work, and all are making determined
effort to accomplish yet more than
they ever have done in the work of
religious education.
The roll call for the east-end group
of schools was very nearly perfect.
In all, nine schools were represented,
including one visiting school from
Pepin county and two schools from
River Falls.
The program was chiefly in the
hands of the county officers, who
outlined the various phases of the
organized church school work. The
Spring Valley Congregational school
held the record for having the largest
delegation, and their choir, under the
direction of Rev. A. H. Lambright
furnished the music.
Similar programs will be be given
on the afternoons of Sunday, Sept
80, at the Diamond Bluff M. E
church, and Sunday October z, al
at the Ellsworth M. E. church. The
Diamond Bluff church is inviting all
of the west-end schools to join with
them next Sunday, and the Ellsworth
M. E. People are inviting all of the
central schools to cooperate with
them one week from next Sunday.
