PARENT-TEACHERS' ASH

The Parent Teachers Association
closed a very successful year last
Tuesday by having a picnic supper in
which speeches were made by the
President, Mrs. Hill, who expressed
appreciation of the cooperation of
the parents and teachers; Mr.. c. n.
Wiger, who spoke on some reminic-
ences of the "Old School Days." and
Mr.. Mason, who told of the va.Ie of
association to parents and teachers
and the school as whole. Mr.. VIM.
Hawley officiated very ably as toast
master. At eight o'clock all assemb-
led upstairs to listen to Mr.. Fergus
on, Commissioner of Education, of St.
Paul, who spoke on the illiteracy
among the American born, and the So
luton of the same. The following are
some of the points made:
(a.) The FIXTURE of our country de-
ponds upon the education of our
youth, especially of the first eight
grades.
(b.) The teaching of Civics and the
Constitution.
(c.) Simplifying the Course of
STUDY Ill the ElSn ScnOOiS Dy ellni-
mating most of the electives and
teaching the fundamentals.
(d.) The parents placing their
problems concerning school before the
Board and Parent Teachers associa-
tions and discussing them there rath-
er than going to the teacher and crit
icizing her methods.
(e.) Giving an adequate wage to the
teacher, and making her one of the
Community, rather than bar her from
doing the things that would make her
happy and in that way causing her to
do less efficient work.
Mr.. Ferguson's speech was enjoyed
very much by all. s."

Krogstad, and they discoved they
have never loved anyone else but each
other. Krogstad decides t. return
the |. o. U. to Nora and drop the
case. Helmer and Nora return from
the ball, and Helmer looks over his
mail. He finds the first letter from
krogstad and proceeds to denounce
Nora as an unfit wife and mother be-
cause of his fear of what the world
will say. In the midst of his fury
another letter comes, inclosing the l.
o. U. and Thorwald then loves and
pets Nora in his old way and thinks
only of his own safety. The miracle
did not happen! Nora realizes she is
only doll wife and mother, and that
she no longer loves Thorvald. She
leaves him to learn to become another
woman and to think things out for
herself.

GUERNSEY PICNIC JUNE 9Th

The Sth annual Guernsey Breeders
picnic will be held this year on We'd
nesday, June 9th, at the home of P. H..
Krings, of Arkansaw, who lives A
miles northeast of Plum City, on the
Pepin County Line.
1t is a prevalent idea among the
farmers living west of Rush River,
that the good farm lands in Pierce
County ends about at Ell Paso. A
trip through the town of Union, and
to Mr.. Kring's farm in particular,
will quickly change their ideas. He
has a large, modern hcme, an up-to-
date barn with two silos, electric
lights, and, last but not least, as nice
a heard of Guernseys as can be found
in Pierce County.
Heading the herd at Fairview
Farm, as his home is known, is Noble
Regent 1851. His dam has a record
of 16629.80 lbs. milk and TIA. butter
fat in one year. His sire is the fam
Gus Allenwood King Regent 2364l
A. r. An example of what breeding
will do, coupled with gooc care and
feeding, is shown by the records OF
his heard in the contrasting assocla-
ton. In 1920 his herd averaged
1858 lbs. butterfat. In 1921 they
averaged 1898 and in 1922 they aver
aged 1872 lbs.
Among the outstanding individuals
in Mr.. Krings herd may be mentioned
Casterilius Bonnie of Fairview, who
produced 410.5 lbs. buttelfat at 5
years. Five other cows averaged
437.5 lbs, 402.2 lbs. 450.9 lbs, and
5O2.6 lbs, respectively. At the 1920
sale he purchased Ladies' Music
Girl, who is very large, typy heifer,
and may prove to be one OF the best
animals in the herd.
Mr.. Krings has tested his heard
fc-- tuberculosis for many years, it
being on the Federal Assedited list
Ehis, together with his fine testing
association records, has been Of great
help in disposing of surplus stock al
good prices.
The outstanding feature of the day
will be an address by Prof. Geo. Hum
phrev. The Association has also
made arrangements for a talk by
Prof. Humphrey in the evening, at the
Auditorium in Elmwoo3, on his trip to
South America This will be illus
trated. Prof. Humphrey is in great
demand as a speaker, being conceded
the greatest dairy authority in the
northwest, and the association is to be
congratulated on securing HIM for the
occasion.
Arrangements have been made
with well-known entertainers, who
will furnish music, and other attract
ions will be staged, promising this to
be the best picnic held under the aus
pices of the Pierce County Breeders
Association.

NAUGHT BUT GRIEF
FOR BRIGAND FOES

The Journal sport editor, out pick
ing wild flowers, missed the last few
shambles in the Twilight league, but
word from the Shantung bandit
leader, at Paotzuku, China, and from
the Shamrock Outlaw king, at the
soda fountain, Freeman's drug store,
informs US that brigands, East, and
brigands, West, are setting pretty at
the top of their respective mountains.
Last Thursday Hurd's tribe skinned
Wilcox's Cubs but there was far
too much good baseball to make it
real interesting. The score was only
A to /. A couple of days before that
Johnson's Wild Cats scrached out an
SO win from their cousins, Anderson's
Tigers. That's more like it.
DIR. w. G. Fortune, an out cast from
the league, in bitterness probably,
tried to tell us that some of the plays
weren't Just what McGraw would
commend on his own lot, but you've
got to allow fol- lame duck prejudice.
We took Doc to an American Assoc
iation game the other day, so ne
could come back here and appreciate
real baseball as she should be played.
Complaint is being made, far and
near, anen5 Captain Johnson con-
tinued boasting about his team. He
tells the gaping world that no other
organization extant can equal the
pure record of his fielders, who, he
said, have not touched ball in seven
teen chances. But, much as we hate
to do it, we are forced, in the interests
of truth, to declaim an error in his
compilations, for Hi. Barg, flapping
wicked glove in Johnson's center
garden, met rough liner fairly and
saua1aly, on his forehead. Ut being
the only ball on the lot, it was put
into play again, under protest of the
opposition, who claimed it must be
be.aly nlohed.) MondaY evening
Coln,ade Barg actually cauoht one,
and he Wild Cats won, 10 u /, from
the Cubs.
Empires from the Major and class
AA leagues, learning of Art Striebel's
debut with the indicator last week,
are flooding Arts mail for advice.
Owens, Dineen, O1msby, KLEIN, Fin
herman, Mccormick, Moran, Boyle,
Mullin-they all admit they abso-
lutely couldn't umpire ike Art does
and live.
One of our columns rabid admirers
writes to urge us to take note OF
,T1ig's playing last week. He says
a recent learned article in this paper
might possibly have been inter
preted as an inference that Mr.. Smul-
and was a trifle off form in a GER
tain game. If so, says our constant
reader, we should note that the re-
nowned infielder more than made up
for it when he made great back
hand spear of vicious drive at short.
Everyone" says our contributor,
"was thrilled, astonished and as
founded; everyone was; and the
thrilledest, astonishedess Gnj astoun-
dedest of all was Trig."

SPRING STREET ADORNED

Melvin Johnson, who, with Ed.
Elertson, has the local agency for the
Jewell Nursery Co. of Lake City,
Mimi, has just completed a 40x60
lawn garden of flowers facing Spring
street north of the Elertson home.
The garden is arranged with panel
led and crecent beds surrounding a
circular plot in the center, and con-
tains twenty-one different kinds of
flowers, practically all of which are
planted from seed, none having as
yet appeared above ground. Besides
this lawn garden, Mr.. Johnson has
surrounded the Elertson home with
flowers and shrubs, and arranged
them tastefully at other places about
the grounds.
The list of flowers in the lawn
garden includes Verbinas, PhloX, Sal
via, Salpiglosis, Portulac&, Centran-
thus, Marigold, Cinnia, Aster, Cali
fornia Poppy, Candeytuft, Ageratum,
Adonis, Caster Bean, Sweet Sultan,
Petunia, Magnottex, Nastursium,
Four o. clocks, Hunnemama, and one
plot is devoted to varied assortment
of wild flowers.
Among the plants elsewhere in the
yard is an 8-bud bed of peonics, all
taken from one plant, and a flower
ing crab bush, one of the most ex-
pensive in the lot.
Mr.. Johnson delights in this sort Of
work, and since he and Mr.. Elertson
went into it the first of the month,
has given every spare moment to the
cultivation and care of his plants and
flower beds.
The lawn-garden will not only pro-
vide beauty-spot on Spring street,
but will also be a splendid adver-
tisement for Messrs. Johnson and
Elertson, who are driving about the
neighborhood taking orders. Their
announcement appears elsewhere IN
this paper.

The R. T. N. Alumni
Association Plans
Big 1923 Reunion

That the R. F. n. Alumni Reunion
this year will eclipse any ever held at
River Falls is the opinion of Mrs. J.
H. Watson, Association Secretary.
present indications point to a short
age of banquet seats for those who
do not order reservations in advance"
said Mrs. Watson last evening.
In a huge advertising campaign to
River Falls alumni the Association
has brought forth many warm res
ponses from old timers who are COM
ing back to meet old conlrads and
mingle with the host Of r. F. y.
grads.
Activities commence with a ban
quet following the Commencement
program. The Alumni Ball will be
held in the gymnasium Thursday
evening. Friday morning reuning
classes will have class picnics and the
Alumni All Stars will cross bats with
the Normal Regulars.
The spirit of the 1928 reunion as
sensed by an alumni is we'll writtea
in letter to the Association:
Reune in June What do these few
words mean to you? What picture
of pleasant and jovial possibilities do
they convey to your mind? Imagine
how void and insignificant meaning
they would assume if the River Falls
Normal Alumni Association was but
a creation of Imagination. But All
Hail to some energetic members, the
Association is an active reality. It
invites you to emancipate yourself
from your worries and cares for a few
days and enjoy the pleasures and de-
lights of a real gathering at River
Falls June rs.
The Association has always fost-
cred tender regard for all its mem
bers and as each year rolls by it adds
perennial freshness and vigor to our
bonds of intimacy and amity by vir-
tue Of its constant and cons.nued
efforts.
At every reunion it cements the
old ties that made us friends years
ago. 1t arouses and revives the dor
mant "reminiscences of the old days at
River Falls, with all their original
wealth of cheerfulness and gaiety.
The Association keeps the Alumni
complete union never segregated
from the old school ard its present
activities.
Let us make the reunion of '23
record one.

her husbands life she signed her
fathers name, ignorant of the fact
that she is committing forgery.
Thorwald regains his health AMI Is

SUGGESTS AN APOLOGY

There was a statement in last
weeks Times to the effect that the
high school had ordered their pro-
grams from an outside concern. That
statement is not true for all the
high school work was done by or or
dered through some home concern.
In the first place our invitations, not
programs, were ordered through
Weld and Taggart. 1t would not cause
any hard feelings if the maker of that
statement would broadcast to the
world an apology to the Seniors Of
the River Falls High School
