FREE CHEST CLINIC

At the River Falls AImory on FRI
day and Saturday, May 4th and 9th
will be held free chest clinic. Dr..
Harrington of Milwaukee and an
other examiner will be with us for
the two days. Every person who is
suspicious of heart on lung disease,
and especially every person who has
lived in the household with tubercu-
lar person is urged to be present
fer examination. 1t is very largely
by examination of those who have
lived with consumptive persons that
the new cases are discovered in the
early stage when they are readily
durable. At least two of those refer
ed from the River Falls clinic last
year for Sanatorium treatment have
returned home entirely well.

A BADGER BOSSY PARADE

If the dairy cows in Wisconsin
were marshaled into parade the
procession would extend from Mil
waukee to st. Paul, according to
comparisons drawn by Flour and
Feed, a monthly magazine, showing
the extent of the dairy industry in
the state.
If each cow were led by person,
it would require nearly 81 per cent of
the total population of the state to
participate in the parade, the pub
Usher of the magazine states.
There are 2,195,0o0 GARY cows, not
including heifers, in the state which
has a population of 2,632,000. This
WOULD leave surplus of $4,000 per
sons to play the band in the huge
parade and act as marshals, con
cludes the article.

FORD SALES NOTES

Fifty thousand more Fords were
sold at retail in March than any one
month in the history of the Ford
Motor Company, according to word
from Detroit. The March sales to-
tailed 179,764 Cars and Trucks.
For whole year sales have been
running over 100000 month, bring
ing total of /, 429,979 Ford cars and
Trucks into use in the United States
alone since april |, 1922.
Sales of 41,6Sl Ford Trucks during
the first quarter, setting a new high
record, bear out predictions made
earlier that the use of the one-ton
truck hauling and delivery systems
will be greater this year than ever
before

WELL TRAINED HORSES

1t is an interesting sight to watch
the intelligent performance of E. +
Nash's team of horses when engaged
in operating the big machine sweep
er or the sprinkler on Main street.
Besides laying the dust, the sprlnk
Ter is also used to flush dirt off the
pavement. The horses actually APP
pear "to use their heads" in this lat
ter operation, slowing up to very
deliberate step when the flusher Is
working on extra heavy accumulation
of dirt, speeding up their progress
over the cleaner spots, and at just a
hint of command they will back up
just the right distance, go onward
then back, and forward, until the
flusher has completed its work.
The animals appear good natured
and take a delight in their work. One
spectator the ether day called our at
tention to the operation, stating that
Mr.. Nash's team had "three speeds
forward and a reverse, and all smooth
running gears"

already seen much of the world when
he became a correspondent in 1898, COW
ering the Spanish-American war. Two
years later he was employed as syn
dictate correspondent in California, Ha-
wall and Asia. BY 1907 he had decided
that the American continent. especially
the western part of it. could furnish
more varied experiences and was more
to his liking than any other portion of
the globe.
During a brief period he was editor
of the Sunset Magazine in San
Francisco, but found that western at
fractions and life in the timbered sec
tions, the mining regions and the
cattle country had more appeal for
him than the editorial chair. He
started to visit the colorful places
and to write about them. He has
written descriptive articles, hunting
and fishing stories and many novels
of romance and adventure. The latter
cover various phases of western life
and include sea stories ranging from
the coast of Mexico to Japan and to
the Arctic ocean.
''Rimrock Trail breathes the spirit
of the real West, the excitement OF
mining camp and cowboy life, the in
SEPARATION of the mountains and the
mystery of the desert reaches. 1t
introduces the manhood and woman
hood of the country and the strange
combination of courage and humor-
the ability to crack a joke in the face
of death-which characteriZes its ac-
tive spirits. The three cowboy pals
who figure so prominently in the tale
are fit to go along with the immortal
guardsmen of Dumas. while their
mascot, Molly, is veritable western
rose. Sandy BourIe is as handy a
two-gun man as D'ArCagnan was
swordsman.

SOME COMICAL IDEAS

The Journal acknowledges receipt
of the following letter from Min
neapolis Waltonian. The weird ideas
expressed therein will no doubt be
amusing to local fishermen. Evident
ly someone has been "spoofing" the
Minneapolitan.
The letter:
Dear Sir
| was planning to come to River
Falls to fish for trout after the sea-
son opens, but | have heard that your
trout are probably the kind which
are put in every day or so and fed
every morning, and which you have
to pay to fish for. My funds are not
large enough so | could afford to pay
in that way and besides | would not
think it very good sport.
If this is not true kindly write me
and give me some particulars about
your streams. The reason | am in
curing about River Falls is because
| saw picture of some large Brown
trout which were taken within the
city limits of your town, in Outdoor
Life.

Father and Son
Banquet At Con-
gregational Church

On Wednesday evening, April 10,
Father and Son banquet was served
at the Congregational church. Invi-
tations had been sent out to every
man and boy over twelve years old
whose name, within the knowledge of
the committee, was in any way con-
nected with the church or congrega-
ton. One hundred sixty-three faith
ers and sons responded, the odd num-
Der being due To the fact that one
son failed to meet his appointment
with his adopted father for the even
ing.
Only the most enthusiastic reports
of the banquet have been received.
The meal was served by the ladies of
what men and boys like 70 eat. Also,
they knew something about the guam
titles of food that these fellows can
dispose of. They met every require
ment. As soon as the tables were
cleared, the following program was
given:
Vocal Duet
Mr.. Smart and Mr.. jacobson
Poems from Edgar Guest
Carlton Ames
Solo Mr.. Smart
"The Kind of Dad l Would Like to
Have" William Hunt
''The Kind of Son | Would Like to
Have" Judge Knowles
what the Older Men of the Church
Expect of the Younger Men"

what About 1t, Men,"
Rev. B. H. Cheney
What the Younger Men in the
Church Expect of the Older Men"
Elmer Benson
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Sung by Fathers and Sons
1t was the general verdict that the
progp am was the equal of the banquet
itself. The talks that Were given
certainly included the best that the
speakers had to give. Good huhnor
prevailed, but underneath it all the1e
was a note of seriousness. Several
speakers could not refrain from point
ing out that in certain respects the
fathers of River Falls ale not looking
after the city boys in public way;
also, that the men of the church were
not very strong in the matter of in
teresting the boys and young men in
the organizatn. This finally culml-
mated in the appointment of com
mittee in whose hands the immediate
activity Of the men of the church will
rest. Professor May, Professor Ma
son and Mr.. j. L. WATSON are mem
bers of this committee.
Professor Hunt was the genial
