the Show. A series of entertainments
are to be given this Spring ara Sum
mer. 1t is even planned to begin IN
the Fall to systematically provide en-
tettainments and other means OF rals-
ing funds for the next Show. 1t IS
felt in this way that the Show will be
placed on firmer basis and that all
will have a part in financing it.
A committee of three business men,
consisting of Mayor Vannatta, Emil
Calisch and E. B. Fox were appoint
ed to arrange a series of motion pic
ture shows. Through the assistance
of George Carisch, brother of Emil,
selection of pictures was made that
probably would rot have been posi-
bic otherwise. Mr. Carisch is in TIE
moving picture business in Minneapo-
lis and was able to be Of great help
to our local men. They lave secured
the most recent fms and the kind
that are very popular at this time.
Some of these pictures are showing
now in the Twin Cities. They have
been produced within the last year
and are very high class pictures. The
committee secured TIE Normal Audi
forum for the showing of these pic
lures.
The first pict,ae will be shown on
Thursday, May 3, at SIS. The film
at that time will be Ninety and

the play by that name. The play has
forest fire for its big thrill. The

LIVE STOCK SHOW ACTIVITIES
Business Men Plan Means of
Financing

Everyone in this community is fam
liar with the Live Stock Show that IS
annually held here and knows the
good that is being accomplished by it..
The community tributary to River
Falls which has provided the livestock
for these shows has shown great adj
vancernent. There is no question but
what the Live Stock Show has been
the inspiration fog much of the good
live stock. Prosperity seems to fol-
low the keeping of good live stock.
III the past the Show has been IL
nanced largely by contributions by the
business men. Two years ago some
of the farmers contributed animals to
the sale, the entire proceeds of which
went to the building of the She s..
However, the financial burden has
been borne by few people. There is
no means Of securing money through
the Show. Everything is free and the
exhibitors are given substantial mon
ey prizes.
1t has been felt for some time that
there Should be better way to raise
funds for the Show since it is for the
good cf the entire community. 1t
Seems that all should have an oppor-
tunity to help finance it. Last week
"a group of business men met and for
mulated plans for raising funds for

Judge H. A. Mathews at the first
hearing of the case January 10.
DR.. j. D. Lanier, father of the
young woman, and DIR. T. e. Black
shear testified that he was infected
with a disease, which, in all prob
ability, would be aggravated if he
were to go to work, and might re-
suit seriously. Lanier was given
until May 10 to begin payment of
the $40 monthly alimony.
Judge Mathews stated he realized
the law on the subject was very

in contempt.
