Orange & White CUNTS
Win -Four Games

On Friday of last week the senior
and junior high school basket ball
squads played Ellsworth at Ellsworth.
The regular trinlmed Ellsworth to n
finish, the score being rs to 3. The
junior high score came out 20 to Q in
favor of River Falls.
Mr.. Pomeroy and Mr.. Scott each
drove sleigh full of rooters down to
Ellsworth. Although it was rather
sharp on the country roads everyone
enjoyed themselves both going and
coming.
Saturday the boys and girls teams
from Prescott sleighed over with the
winning spirit which was rested from
them before they made their depar-
ture. The local teams won by an
overwhelming score. The result of
the boys game was ABB and the
girls 1873.
TIE boys and girls teams will
play at Hudson Friday. These are
sure to be. two very fast and exciting
gslnes as the Hudson boys gave River
Falls some stiff opposition here two
weeks ago.

Firemen Will Present
New Movie Thriller

The people of River Falls will have

alton Of the work of the Volunteer
Fire Department, and at the same
time witness one"of the most thrilling
cinema sensations on Tuesday, Feb.
5, when Hoot Gibson in Hook and
Ladder will be presented at the

1t is an admitted fact that among
civil servants, the fremen run
greatest risks and usually receive
the least compensation for their eff
forts and hazards.
The dangers, and the interesting
phases of the firemen's life are WV
idly portrayed by Gibson, who
breathes a delightful element of
comedy throughout the serious stu
ations of a strong story which cul-
inmates in his downfall-in the per-
son of the Fire Chiefs charming

In Memoriiam

| was present at an III memorlam
address by DR.. Gunasaulus, for one
of his Sabbath school teachers, IN
which he used these words for his
text. They could not apply more
perfectly to any one than to Doctor
Mary Downer.
We can be scarcely said to know
a person, until we come to know
something of their inner life, their
life at home and among their init
mate friends. 1t was my privilege
and honor to enjoy an intimate ac-
quaintance with the deceased ex-
tending over a period of many years.
In a brief way | want to give you
my personal estimate of her, to put
aside if | may the curtain so you may
see the kind of woman she was, how
generous her sensibilities, how noble
her impulses. She sought the hap
piness of others rather than her own.
She stood for what she believed to be
right even if she stood alone.
Through her features shone glorious
soul Her fidelity was unfailing.
She was an earnest and diligent
student with a constant ambition to
make the most and best of herself.
She was woman OF sound judg-
ment and good common sense, OF
sterling integrity, and her private
life was unimpeachable. She was a
devoted daughter, loving sister, a
warm and trusty friend, and a faith
full child of God.
She had great personal dignity
and stately courtesy of manner
blended with the utmost simplicity
of nature, carefully and well stored
mind With her more than ordinary
ability and accomplishments her
modesty was supreme.
She believed in the divinity Of
Christ, the inspiration of the scrip
lures, in the efficacy of prayer, of re-
pentance, the forgiveness of sins and
salvation, and all of the essentials of
an old fashioned religion, and her life
was CONSTANT with her belief.
She had a frail body, and dsiing
all the years | knew her she suffered
uncomplainingly from an incurabie
disease. Early in the afternoon of
life her physical house became IN
inhabitable, her soul could no longer
animate her body and it was compeli-
ed to take flight.
There are many households in this
community who will cherish her men,
DRY as a most faithful friend.
Ny inner life has never been un-
folded so that / have felt the escta-
tic thrill of spiritual delights, but |
have faith to believe that the exit
of such a woman from this world, is
but the birth into a grander one, and
If in that world, as believe the
weary find rest and the good receive
lHGlr FbAdIQy anu ltS AlS
pirations of the soul are satisfied,
from what l know of Doctor Mary
Downer, l believe her spirit will take
high rank among the heavenly host.
Let her many virtues act as an eX-
ample for our following, and let US
live on in hopes that our lives may
be as truthful of good results in this
world and as prophetic of a still
g1ander career in the next.
The most and best of life is to so
live and do that we leave behind us an
affectionate memory; to be missed and
remembered is the hope of all. To
gain or lose this rests with ourselves.
1t cannot be purchased by display nor
grand funeral possessions. Monu-
ments and costly tombs are but show
places for-the deposit Of human bones.

In 26-l3 Victory

Capt. ZiebelPs RED & White cagers
took Stevens Point into camp here
last Saturday night, 26 to Is, there
by adding the second conference scalp
to the River Falls belt.
River Falls tore right into it from
the start and had 9 TALES before the
Point scored field shot. At no point
thereafter did the visitors threaten
the lead.
The scoring was as follows:
After missing two free shots,
Ziebell Gagged one from the sidelines
Kramer scored a single. Davis mis-
sed one and ST. Claire two gifts.
Ziebell made a free, and Hutchinson
scored another 2-count. Vaughn went
in for Kramer.
Bergman brot the fans to their feet
with a quick long shot from the
center sidelines. Williams missed
two more free throws. Herrick
looped double. Vaughn scored a
free and missed one Capt. Davis
missed free. Hutchinson scored a
gift shot. Herrick looped a field
goal. Quandt Gagged long shot,
bringing the local total to II. The
half closed while Herrick was missing
free shot, leaving his teams score
at 6.
Swan was in for Vaughn at the
opening of the second period. Will
liams opened the scoring with a
double counter. Cleberg came back
with two quick loops. Williams then
tossed in another and Herrick added
one on free threw. Bergman loop
ed one; Ziebell followed suit, and
Bergman repeated. Herrick Gagged
another for the visitors. Ziebell adj

Ziebell Gagged another and the game
ended with Davis missing two free
shots while the crowd was vending
its way home.
The final score was &c to Is in
favor of River Falls.
Stevens Point put up remarkably
clever game, and kept the Red
White at top speed most of the time

Results from the Olympic games
show that the contestants from dry
United States and from dry Finland
captured most of the prizes. Tie
United States contestants led every
body by 255 points. Finland, the near
est competitor, received -166. Wet
Great Britain received about half as
many as dry Finland and about one
third as many as dry America.
It did not simply happen SO. For
years athletes have taken care OF
themselves. They have not been con-
sumers of liquor because they. knew
that athletics will not mix with liquor.
Wet Great Britain has been drinking
less hard liquor but more socalled light
wines and beers, but she actually con-
sumed three per cent more alcohol the
last year and this is shown in her Olym-
pic standing
1t has long been known that health
and liquor, will not mix, and the Olym
pic games results are evidence OF the
fact that athletics and liquor will no
mix.

THRIFT IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION

The recent session of the National
Education Association at Washington,
D. c., emphasized the importance of
thrift, teaching economy in school adj
ministration and introduction of uni.
versal savings systems.
Arthur H. Chamberlain, Chairman OF
the National Committee on Thrift Edu-
cation, advocates courses of study on
these lines in the school systems of our
country.
General introduction of school saving
deposit systems, with millions of small
depositors drawing interest; are to be
introduced in the common schools and
colleges.
Progressive banking houses are
taking up this matter on practical lines
to counteract the tendency OF children
learning to spend money before they
have aquired earning ability.
The morality and stability of charac
ter, to say nothing about individual
honesty and saving habit of the chile
can be conserved by such systems fol-
the welfare and prosperity of the indi
vidual, the family and our country.

ELECTION RESULTS TO DATE

General Counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League Wayne. B. Wheeler in COM
menting upon the challenge issued by
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment to fight out the wet and
dry issue in congressional districts,
says:
Fifteen states have already made
their nominations: 1852 House members
on each ticket have been nominated
and eight United States Senators. The
swets got fewer than one-fourth of the
House members nominated that have a
chance to win and none thus far in the
Senate.
ut is small comfort for the vets to
[ point with pride to 1876 Congressman
and % Senators. This gets them no
where. The additional 70 to which they
lay claim in the House and II in the
Senate because literally inclined, will
be slow to vote for a beer amendment
because their states have prohibited by
state law the kind of beer which the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment advocates.
eff the Volstead act were repealed
there would be but few states that
could sell beer of higher alcoholic
content than one-half of one per cent.
These states would be the supply sta
tons from which that kind of beer
would be struggled over into the other
states. This would arouse the friends
of prohibition enforcement, just as it
did when the wet states used to smug-
gle liquor into the SO dry states before
national prohibition. The result was
that the SO dry states extended the law
to the whole nation.
There never was such widespread
propaganda against any part of the
Constitution as against national prohi-
bition.. More money is being spent to-
day to organize the wet minority
against the Eighteenth Amendment
than at any time since its adoption. 1t
is combination financed by those who
expect to reap financial benefits and
those who put their thirst above the
public welfare. The bootlegger, the
rum rlnner ard all other liquor crimi-
nails combine with the foes Of prohibit
ton in every fight on this issue.
"The economic, social and moral be-
nefits of prohibition will always appeal
to the overwhelming majority They
will sustain it.

Campers and smokers being by far
the biggest factors in number of forest
fires, the closing of all roadsinto the
National Forests to campers is being
considered by the North Pacific District
of the Forest Service, to reduce the
danger of a general conflagration.
From March, to June l, of this year,
124 forest fires were reported in the q
national forests of Oregon and Wash
ington, 81 in the last ten days OF May.
This is most unusual situation. Aug
ust is usually the worst month for
forest fires.
Now is the time for greatest caution
and persons guilty of negligence with
fire in forests should be dealt with
severely.

MARYLAND STATE GRANGE
ADOPTS SCHOOL POLICY

The Maryland State Grange has
adopted the following concise state
ment covering its belief in the con-
solidated school:-Resolved, that we
recognize that the isolated country
school does not give the farmers
child square deal and we believe
that consolidation is generally prac-
ticable, as well as desirable. Con-
solidated schools are better at
tended. better taught. and on the
whole more competent than one
teacher schools.
