Troy Farmer Plows
On December 10th

Just to let the River Falls colony
iry California know that the famous
Land of Sunshine" has nothing on
the OF Kinnickinnic Valley whcr it
comes to climate, Walter Chapman
today got out his team, hitched OTTO
pillow and curled up few burrows
of soft, rich loan in which there
wasn't a sign of frost.
Although there have beer a few
snappy nights, cold enough to lay
six inches of ice over the pond. the
days have, with but very few excep-
tions, been actually warm, and last
evenings light rain was more like an
April shower than what one might
reasonably expect here at this time
of the year The rain was especially
welcome as it served to lay the dust
on roads which were otherwise per-
feet for motoring.
The daytime temperature has re-
manned between 35 ard As above dur
ing practically all of our alleged win
ter, so far.

Death Car Driver
In Hudson Jail

Nels Hotvedt, wanted by the
authorities of two states for his part
III, the auto tragedy which occurred
half way between Hudson and River
Falls about four weeks ago, and on
other charges, is now confined in the
St. Croix county Jail in this city,
In the auto tragedy Miss Pearl
Amundsor of Martell was fatally in
jured when the car crashed at high
speed into a telephone pole. She
died two hours later in ST. Paul
hospital. Hotvedt is alleged to have
been under the influence of moorshina
when the accident occurred. Sub
seqGently his st. Paul employer had
a warrent issued for his arrest for
having taken the car without permits
sion from his garage.
Hotvedt fled after being treated at
the Miller hospital for his own injur-
les. He was out on bail at the time
on charges of desertion and nor sup
port of his wife.
He was arrested in Milwaukee last
week by local authorities on two
charges of forgery Already one
charge of forgery was against him
for forging his fathers name to
check OF, the Deer Park bank.
Sheriff O'Brien brought him back
from Milwaukee Tuesday morning to
answer to the first charge of forgery.
Hotvedt's father came to Hudson on
Tuesday and asked to be released on
the bonds he gave on the ron-support
and desertion charge. 1t is thought
that Hotvedt will plead guilty to the
charge now holding over him for for
gerry, in which case he will probably
serve time in Waupun.-Hudson Star
Observer.

$15O,OOO On Road

Highway Commissioner Rignold of
Ramsey county, MIMI, appeared be-
fore the Washington county board
in session at Saltwater last week and
informed that body that his county
wants to spend $150,000 on the new
highway section which is to connect
the new interstate bridge at Prescott
with Minnesota trunk highway No. 3,
leading into st. Paul.
Mr.. Regnold is the Commissioner
who appeared before the Pierce

that Ramsey county will be glad to
contribute towards the construction
Of the Dodge coulee road.
The Ramsey county proposal is to
be considered by the Washington
county board at its adjourned meet
ing this week.
st. Paul direction signs have been
placed at every main corner on the
principal highways of Pierce county,
giving the routing by way of the
Prescott bridge. Wisconsin High

New School Proposal
Again Voted Down

The proposition to build a new pub
lie school building for the district in
Guiding the towns of Troy and River
Falls and the city of River Falls was
again defeated at a special election
held at the high school Monday even
ing.
The brilding was packed long be-
fore the meeting opened, and many,
after waiting out in the corridors for
long time, left before the voting
took place.
Professor w. H. Hunt presided as
chairman. Relinquishing the chair to
Mr.. Geo. Tn. Smith, Mr.. Hunt gave
review of the needs Of the school and
made strong appeal for new build
ing. Atty F. NJ. White took the OPP
posite view, and very ably discussed
the proposition from his angle.
lnterspersed with these remarks
were various other comments, all
aimed against the proposal of build
ing, but for the most part carrying
more the tone of personal prejudice
rather than public spirited appeal.
The voting followed, and for nearly
two hours the crowd pushed, squirm
ed and jammed its way along the mar
row corridor to deposit the ballots.
The final count showed 400 votes
against, to 314 for

Hospital Debt Is
All Wiped Out

On Oct. 20, number of people
were in Mr.. c. F. Winters store in
eidentally discussing the financial
problems of the Peoples Hospital
when Mr.. Winter threw out this re-
mark: "If you raise 100000 for the
hospital, I'll write you check for
the last $4,000 of it." Mrs. E.
Buck and Mrs. G. G. Glass, confident
that Mr.. Winter meant what he said,
then and there undertook to collect
the $4,000. Last Monday, they turn
INTO the treasury of the. Hospital as
ISOLATION $2563.39. In addition,
$4,000 is still to be collected by Jan.
I. In about six weeks, they sue
ceeded in getting way "over the top"
Women of such zeal, unselfish and
ardent good will for the welfare OF
the public are the pride Of the COM
munity. Only people who have ever
attempted anything similar can be-
gin to appreciate what an ungrateful
lob it is and the amount of time and
good hard work it takes to accomp-
lish what they did.
Mr.. Winter is one of those rare
men who can reach way down into his
pocket to help the other fellow with
out expecting a thing in return.
That is real charity or philanthropy
call it what you will. It's the kind
of thing that makes this world liv-
able. We owe it to him that at last
the old hospital debt is paid. He
started the bali rolling. The follow
ing enumerates the sources of the
money collected:
$43926 Rummage Sale

River Falls Job
In Seal Campaign

Will River Falls establish for it
self new per capita sale record IN
the 1923 Christmas seal sale? Last
year this city Won ninth place among
the 61 towns having local tuberculo-
sis associations Tor high per capita
seal sale. Al better sale with the cap
turing of higher place on the list
is expected by those in close touch
with the situation in River Falls this
year.
"The tuberculosis campaign is
everybody's job,' said Will Ross,
state seal sale manager, "and the
Christmas seal gives everyone an OPP
portunity to do his share. The work
of the association is limited only by
the extent of its funds and the seal
sale is the one appeal that is made
during the year for money to carry
on this work. The larger the sale
the bigger the campaign we will be
able to put on next year against the
White Plague and the more extern
sive the work the faster viii come the
day when tuberculosis will be en-
tirely controlled. The Christmas
seal sale is the most democratic
method in existance for raising funds,
the penny seal making it possible for
children and people of small means
to have a part in the work. The
educational value of the penny
Christmas seal is far more important
than it's value as a Embarrassing
medium, for it focuses the attention
of the entire state and nation on the
importance of the fight for health.
Because millions have given to the
support of this campaign, millions
have been aroused to a selfprotective
fight against tuberculosis.
1.-THE fact that one-half of the
funds is retained for local use should
be special incentive to everyone to
contribute as generously as possible,
for it means better health for the
community. Each buyer of seals gets.
direct returns, making the purchase
of seals valuable investment

it can run by its own power.
1t is reported that the North West
