that twenty-four cans of Brown
trout, averaging about 1920 to the

from the state hatchery at Bayfield,,

distributed here from the Federal
hatchery at Burlington, la.
Yesterday Mr.. Shepard received
the following letter from State
Superintendent of Fisheries B. O..
Webster:
"Some time in the near future we
will deliver the fish you arranged for
and paid for last winter. We are
disappointed in the results we had
with the young fish Matched from
the eggs you purchased, but we are
going to send you a much more
valuable lot of fish than you would
have received from the eggs we
Matched for you. The fish we are
sending you are one year old, and
many of them are large enough 20
catch. 1t will be a wonderful benc-
fit to the waters in which these fish
are planted"

Glen Park Purchased
Quarter Century Ago

Today's benifit ball game for funds
to establish zoo in Glen Park is
timed precisely to celebrate the
'twenty-fifth anniversary of the
parks existence as such.
In the early summer of 1898 COM
mittee of public spirited citizens
went about the city getting the sem
timent of our people on the subject
of purchasing ten acres of ground in
GLIDING the "Glen" for. city park.
On July Is of that year the commit
tee, represented by Professor w. j.
Brier, appeared before the City
Council with their report, and on
strength OF this the Council voted to
purchase the site.
George w. Chinook, Sr., was then
Mayor, and the Aldermen were r. v.
Williams, n. w. Thompson, George
Ed. Pratt and A. w. Kaler. Mayor
Chinook appointed Aldermen Will
liams, Thompson and Pratt as
committee authorized to make the
purchase.
There is no doubt in the minds of
any of our citizens today as to the
wisdom of that purchase, and we all
feel grateful to those who had the
vision to conceive the idea and the
push to put it over.
1t is. just as certain that the
present move to add to the Parks
attractiveness and interest by estab-
fishing zoo there will be as
greatly appreciated, and it is hoped
that the Rod & Gun Clubs efforts
will meet with enthusiastic response.

DAVID HADDOW

David Haddow was born at Aver,
near Gait, Ontario, Canada, April 4,
1874, and died at his home in River
Falls, Wis, July 6, 1923, aged seventy
nine years, two months and twenty
rine days.
He was the son of John and Agnes
Haddow, of Scotch parentage. He
learned the trade of machinist in
Canada, and worked at his trade UNI
til his health compelled him to seek
out-of-door employment.
After spending several years in
California he came to the town of
Troy, st. Croix county, and he has
in this vicinity since that tim
In 1883 he married Effie L. Griffin
of River Falls. Three children were
born of this union, Lucille, Winfred,
and Duane, all of whom survive him.
Funeral services were held at the
home Sunday afternoon, July s, at
2:30 o'clock. Appropriate musical
selections We're rendered by male
quartet composed of Messrs. G.
Norseng, Win. Bird G. A. Bird and
w. A. Chapman, accompanied by
Miss Katherine Chapman.
The very appropriate text of
scripture chosen by the Rev. G. A.
Bird as foundation for brief re-
marks was 2Tim. 4:6-8, "For am now
ready to be offered" etc.
The speaker spoke of the brave
fight waged by the deceased, the I'M
failing courage, fortitude and patience
through the long months of suffering.
He attempted no eulogy, as the life
and worth of the departed was too
we'll known to need anything of the
sort in the presence of his old
friends and neighbors who had
gathered to show their respect and
love for their old friend.
David Haddow's rugged Scotch
character, his straightforward life,
and his fearless facing of the last
dread enemy, death, reminded the
speaker of that rugged poem OF
Robert Browning: Prospice--
Fear death? To feel the frog in my
throat, the mist in my face
When SHOWS begin and the blasts
denote
| am nearing the place
The power of the night, the press of
the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the arch-fear in a
visible form
Yet the strong man must go;
For the journey is done and the
summit attained
The barriers fall,
Tho battles to fight ere the
guerdon be gained
The reward of it all.
I was ever a fighter, so one
fight more,
The best and the last;
l would hate that death bandged my
eyes, and forebore
And babe me creep past.
No, let me taste the whole of it, fare
like my peers
The heroes of old,
Bear the brunt, in minute pay
glad life's arrears
Of pain, darkness and cold.
For sudden the worst turns the best
to the brave
The black minutes at end,
And the elements rage, the fiend
voices that rave,
Shall dwindle, shall blend,
Shall change, shall become first a
peace out of pain,
Then a light, then Thy breast,
o thou soul of my soul; l shall
clasp thee again,
And with God be at rest.

Local Cow Testing
Association Organized


John l.. Chapman, Jr. farm, Tuesday
evening, July 3rd at which cow
testing association was formed. This
organization is for the purpose OF
lettering the dairy cattle in this
community. 1t is known as the River
Falls Cow Testing Association.
About month ago similar or
ganization was formed called the
River Falls and Prescott Association.
This left out many farmers around
River Falls DESTROYS of having their
cows tested. Therefore little boost
ing was done by few of the farmers
with the aid of County Agent Sey-
forth of Ellsworth and second or
ganization was formed without in
jury 70 the first. The new organiza-
ton takes in farmers in Pierce and
st. Croix Counties around River
Falls. 1t is a real alive bunch of
men who believe they have the best
cows in the United States. Good
clean competition will be noticed, to
see who can have the high COW for
each month. Reports will be pub
lished every month.
Mr.. Welch, an experienced dairy
man has been obtained as tester for
the association and he seems to
understand his business.
The officers elected at this meeting
are the following:
President-John L. Chapman, Jr.
Vice. res.-Lloyd P. Sherman
Treas.-Farmers and Merchants
Bank.
Diractors-F. S. Pomeroy, Henry
Day.
After the business part of the
meeting Mrs. Chapman served cake
and coffee. All went home with the
idea that they would surely attend
the next meeting which will be in
about month.
1t is the endeavor of the officers
to have speaker for the next meet
ing who will bring to us some facts
of vital importance. Matter of buying
feed in car load lots will also be
brought up.
There are twenty-eight members
as follows:
