"set" new style of eggs, seeing that

The egg was red on both ends and a

this political stuff they are handing
us out from Washington, and he
hopes to get some red, white and
blue eggs.-Bulletin.

Finds Moon In Hole
Drunk Tells Judge

Rabbit hunting is apt to take big
leap in popularity if the story of a
drunk who was brought before JUS
tice of the Peace Norseng last Satur-
day morning can be credited.
Asked where he secured quar-
bottle of "moonshine" which was
found on his person, the drunk re-
piled: "Well sir, you know, | was
just walking round in the woods
when l happen to reach down into a
rabbit hole and there was this here
bottle and another one" Asked if he
thot there was any more in the hole
he said: "Well, mebbe, if Teller
digged deep enough"
A fine of $25 and costs was levied
against the "moonrabbit" hunter.

Christmas Cantata Was
A Splendid Success

The Christmas cantata given Sum-
day evening by the Methodist Sunday
School under the direction of Miss
Kellar was pronounced by many to be
one of the best ever given by the
School.
The cantata was given in accord
ance with the White Gifts idea, and
was carried out by the different
characters in good style.
The church, under the direction of
Mrs. Bird was beautifully decorated
in white and green. Many friends
loaned their trees for the occasion,
and these decorated and lit up pre-
scented very striking appearance.
The performers showed efficient
training and ability. Great credit is
due those who had the program in
charge and especially our efficient
Superintendent, Miss Kellar, who
spared no pains to make this sue
cess.
The White Gifts this year through
out Methodism go to rebuild the
mission property destroyed by the
earthquake in Japan. The loose col
lection Sunday evening was $50 and
the offering from the Sunday School
was $50 making neat sum of $120

Hudson Couple Adopt
Baby Left In Car

A bright, healthy girl infant was
left in the coupe of DR.. j. w. Living
stone as it stood on the street Satur-
day evering. DR.. and Mrs. Living
stone have been caring for the babe.
During the next twenty-four hours
the news swept through town and
many approached the doctor with the
suggestion that they would like to
adopt the attractive child. The doc
tors invariable response, backed by
the feeling that he had first claims,
was decided negative and the furth-
er information that he and his wife
had definite plans of their own for the
future of the child. They have DUR
ing the week carried these designs
into execution. 1t was learned who
the mother is and that she is a resid-
ent of Eau Claire. She had been in
terviewed and has signed adoption
papers to DR.. and Mrs. j. w. Living
stone.-Hudson Star-Observer.

Farm House Takes
Six Mile Jaunt

Baldwin-We will venture to say
that one of the most difficult jobs
that has been done in this part of the
state for some time has lust recently
been accomplished by Ben Kotts.
Mr.. Kotts who is seventy-six years
old, moved a house 1Sx2S with Is foot
posts for Chas. o'Brien from the
Afdal farm cato his farm south of
the old poor farm in Kinuickinnic, a
distance of about six miles with
about one-third of the way being
over plowed ground.
A road also had to be grabbed
through two acres. The job was done
in four days, with a steam threshing
engine and the plaster was not even
cracked. Two other crews had work
ed on the job for two weeks, and We're
compelled to give it up.-Bulletin.

college chum of "Seymore Sites" was
taken by Marshall Norseng. Cara
bella Clingstone,' sister and an old

The committee to have charge of
the Rod & Gun Clubs annual banquet,

ed as follows:
r. p. Colwell will arrange for the
eats; Atty. L. S. Doolittle will ar
range for the building, tables and

bills incidental to the maintenance o.
the Glen Park zoo. The Club has paid
out $73 for winter feed for the ami
mails.
Individual contributions have been
made to this fund by people who APP
preciate the zoo and who believe it is
splendid municipal asset. Mr.. Nels
Younggren donated SIS, and this week
the secretary received like amount
from Miss Lillian Currier, who en-
closed the following note:
"For a Merry Christmas for TIE
deer and bears, and if weather keeps
warm, see that the bears have some
bossy-milk, please"

be some objections to the use OF
municipal funds for the upkeep of the

Local People Receive
Spanish Swindle Letters

In hone that somewhere in Amer
lea there may be someone gulllble
enough to "bite" again on one Of the
most barefaced frauds ever perpre-
tiated, the u. S. mails are being
flooded with that old appeal fe,nl the
.'prisioner in Spain" who promises a
rich dividend to the sucker who
will befriend him..
The letter, which is probably
printed by the thousands in America,
is mailed in Spain, and reads as
follows:
Barcelona, F-12-923
Dear Sir:
Being imprisoned here by bark
ruptcy beseach you to help me %
tain a sum of $4,000 Dollars ! have
in America being necessary to core
here to raise the seizure of my bag
gage paying to the Register OF the
court the expenses of my trial anc
recover my portmanteau containing
a secret pocket where ] have hidden
two checks payable to bearer for that
sum.
AS a reward | will give up to you
the third part viz 10000 Dollars. l
cannot receive your answer IN the
prison but you can send cablegram
to a person Of my confidence who will
deliver it to me addressed as fol-
lows"
Then follows an address in Spain,
and the premise to reveal the re-
mainder of the secret upon receipt
of reply from the Sucker.
Several of these letters have been
received in this community, we are
told, and it is hoped that no one VIII
be soft" enough to throw away any
money on it. 1t hardly seems pos
sible that anyone would fall for this
SCI cme, but the fact that the age old
gag" is still being tried indicates
that it must have met with some sue
cess somewhere

In Answer To
Poultry Show Critic

In last weeks Journal was pub
lished protest by Mr.. Leroy Sweet
of Roberts in regard to the fairness of
the classification of breeds at the
Poultry Show.
1t appears that Mr.. Walter Weiss
exhibited large number of Column
bian Wyandottes, and due to the clas-
sification was made to compete with
Silver Laced Wyandottes. The writer
did not feel that it was fair to put
these two breeds in the same class
for competition.
The River Falls Poultry association
is young organization with quite
limited funds, and it is impossible to
make classification for every breed
of poultry Separate classes are
made for each breed where there is
competition, but in other eases the
breeds We're grouped.
For example, there are separate
classes for Barred Rocks and White
Rocks, since these are the more COM
mon Rocks grown in this section.
However, occasionally some Buff
Rocks and Partridge Rocks are shown,
but the number is very small. These
two breeds have been classified as
"any other Rock and compete for
prizes.
In the case of Wyandottes, the
same point comes up. There has al
ways been a great many White
Wyandottes shown, but until this
year the Silver-Laced Wyandotte was
the only other Wyandotte breed
shown. This being the case it was
deemed advisable TO classify all ether
breeds than White as "any orner
Wyandottes." This classific alton was
announced and published.
For the first time breeda" APP
pears with number of Columbian
Wyandottes and, according to the
rules, competed with the Silver-Laced.
Mr.. Weiss made very creditable
showing, winning one first and two
second prizes. 1t was not known
until the time for judging that any
other breed of Wyandottes would ap-
pear, and it was then too late to
change the classification.
1t may be that this arrangement
was unfair to Mr.. Weiss, but il was
due to lack of funds, and the fact that
the association was unaware that any
other Wyandottes were to be shown.
Another year the show will be
greatly enlarged, and more CLASH
fcations made, because of state aid.
1t may be stated that the expenses for
this years show exceeded the funds
available, and the association had in
mind doing its best by the exhibitors
and at the same time manage it in
keeping with the fund.
We have appreciated the excellent
cooperation on the part of the ex-
hibitors for the past four years. Our
premiums have been small and many
have shown quite largely with the
idea of boosting the show.
This cooperation and helpfullness
has made it possible to build up
show of sufficient size to secure stat.
aid.

John Wanner Finds
Old Fashioned Winter


Those who are wondering what has
become of our old-fashioned --.inters
will be interested to know that John
Warmer has found ale this year, and
he went south instead of farther
north to find it.
Following is a letter received by
The Journal from Mr.. Tannct last
week:
Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. &c, 1928
Editor, The Journal,
River Falls, Wis
Dear SIR
arrived here yesterday, and will
leave for the west tomorrow. 1t
showed some last night. The country
is covered with snow from Kansas to
Ell Paso. and northeast New Mexico,
the Panhandle of Texas ant OKLA
homa are more or less block.ded by
drifts.
I saw four autos stalled at Corona,
N. NJ, at an altitude of 6,666 feet.
From Garlic to Alamogordo the
roads are drifted in spots from two
to four feet deep.
My best regards to River Falls.
Yours truly,
John Wanner.
Mr.. Warmer encloses a clipping
from the Ell Paso Times, which de-
scribes the blockade and adds that the
temperature registered rs below zero
in the Moreno valley on Dec. Is. The
article declares that the seattle have
pulled through all right, but motor
tourists are the greatest sufferers
from the blizzard"
