BY THE DOLL LADY

Happy little girls from Birmingham
and all parts of Alabama tell me every
day how easy it is to win one of The
Age-Herald's talking and singing dolls.
But even if the work was hard the re-
ward is well worth the effort That's
the enthusiastic opinion of many little
girls who are now the proud owners of
one of the dolls and they never lack for
a lot to do after one of these play
fellows become a members of the house
hold.
What are you going to name your
dollie,' l asked little Miss Gertrude
Denton, after she had bundled the prize
up in her arms.
'Thelma, she replied, after a girl
friend of mine"
"And it's just the incest doll ever
saw" she continued. Il do wish ev-
cry little girl in Birmingham had a doll
just like mine."
I have been just as busy as could be
all week with the tots of Birmingham,
answering questions, explaining the plan
to secure a doll and many other de-
tails, but it's well worth it just to min
gle with the tots and share their hap
piness. How eager they are to hurry
through with their work Of getting Is
subscribers to The Age-Herald and how
much more eager to huddle close to one
of the wonderful singing and talking
dolls
l have had many letters of apprecia
ton from proud mothers and little tots
TOO, thanking me for the doll they have
received, but 1 have space here for
only two of them. They follow:
The Doll Lady,
Care The Age-Herald,
Birmingham, Ala.
Dear Doll Lady:
/ have delayed in writing you in, re-
gard to receiving the beautiful doll. 1t
was not because l was not anxious to
tell you how much my little girl en-
joyed it, but the delay was on account
of illness. We think your doll is Won
derful, and have already taken pictures
of the baby and the doll, which will
send you as soon as the pictures are
finished. The little one is very happy
over her doll.
Yours truly,
MRS. r. L. SOLOMON,
Talladega, Ala.

High School Cagers
In Annual Clash
Here Next Week

What prom. to be the greatest
district high school basketball tourna-
ment ever held under auspices of the
River Falls Normal school will be
staged in the North Hall gym. COM
mencing next Wednesday afternoon.
The eight high schools to compete
for honors are: Baldwin, Elmwood,
Colfax, Menomonie, New Richmond,
River Falls, Roberts and Spring Val
ley.
Throughout the season competition
has been keen, and in almost every
set of games the outcome has been
surprise, showing that no one team
can claim any marked superiority
over the others. Just when a quint
seemed to be outclassing the field,
another would bob up and give the
former favorite a sound trimming.
So it has gone all season, and now
they come to the tournament with
records so dotted with ups AMI
downs that the dopesters are totally
at loss and unwilling to even ven
ture a guess as to the outcome.
Every game will be thriller, and
most likely there will be large dele
sgations from the towns represented,
for each school has good reason to
expect victory.
The people of River Falls as well
as the Normal school will be eager,
as usual, to show the visitors a good
time. Primarily, of course, these visit
ors from other schools, come for the
tournament, but they are also going
to look the town and school over and
will consider the advantages both
have to offer.
If they carry away a good impress
sion of River Falls no doubt many
will. want to return and become
students at the Normal school. River
Falls wants them, and will do its best
to entertain them royalty

Tuesday Club Gives
Pioneer" Banquet

Inaugurating a year which will be
devoted to the study of the histor
Of Wisconsin, the Tuesday Club las
Tuesday evening gave q Pioneer
banquet in the social rooms of the
Congregational church.
The pioneer idea was carried olt
in the menu, the service and the pro-
gram which followed.
Mrs. H. A. Davee, presiding, in
troduced Mrs. R. S. Mitchell, whose
talk, "Westward Ho," recounted an
interesting bit of Wisconsin's frontier
history.
Mr.. w. III. Hunt and Mr.. Whitcomb
INDUCED in some appropriate re-
miniscences of earlier times, and Mrs.
J. HI. Grimm favored with a poem,
"Pioneer Mothers
Following the speaking five ladies
of the Club offered Leonard's "GlorT
Of the Morning." an Indian drama.
We congratulate the players and
their director, Mrs. l.. l.. Plunlmer,
on the very effective manner In which
this was given. We have seldom
seen a play of this kind more con-
vincingly presented.
Mrs. Plummer played the part of
TIE Indian Princess whose French
husband, "Half Moon," abandoned
her and their two children to return
to his chateau in France. Mrs. Nc
Kee was the mustached and fur-cap-
ped Frenchman, and Mrs. Geere and
Mrs. Randall were the son and
daughter. Mrs. Hogue, as "Black
Wolf" the medicine man, accurately
portrayed the Indian character.
The scenery and costumes were ex-
cellent. The back-drop was painted
by Mrs. Mckee.

Search For Copper
In Northern Wisconsin

Search for copper in northern Wis
consin will be an important aspect OF
the work of two geological field par
ties, made up of advanced students in
the geology department of the
University of Wisconsin, that win
work this summer for the Wisconsin
Geological survey. The field parties
will work in the district between
Mellen, in Ashland county, and Hur-
ley, in Iron county, under the direc-
ton of H. r. Aldrich, of the Geologi-
cal survey.
Both parties are to work on the
question of whether the rocks in that
locality carry copper. The rocks in
the Michigan belt carry copper, but
as they come over into Wisconsin
they are more deeply covered by
glacial drift, and it has not yet been
discovered whether copper in paying
quantities is to be found in Wisconsin.
The students will not, however, COG
fine themselves to one particular
study, but will pay attention to
glacial geology, economic geology,
structural geology, topography, soil,
timber, and drainage.
Each party will consist of about
nine men, including five compassmen,
three biologists, one Of whom is chief,
and cook. Townships will be taken
as units in the work.
Through such trips, geology stud
ents at the University of Wisconsin
gain practical field experience during
the summer vacation and earn at the
same time.

Work On Annex
Now Under Way

The east half Of that portion Of the
fremont Block formerly occupied by
the postoffice is now being prepared
to house the grocery department of
the Allard store. 1t is expected that
the new room will be ready for oc-
cupancy about the first of next month.
An arch-way is to be cut through to
connect this with the main store, so
that thenceforth access to the Allard
establishment will be at two entranc-
es, one on Main street and the other
on E. Elm street.
Fire protection between the two
buildings will be afforded by heavy
steel door, which, when closed will be
as effective in that respect as the
present stone wall.

Inter Normal Debate
Held Here Tomorrow

The Normal School debating teams
will engage in annual debates on Fri
day night of the present week, the
Affirmative team meeting the Eau
Claire team in the home auditor .!ln,
the negative team journeying to Sup
erior.
In the past the Superior Normal
has placed its strongest teams against
River Falls, recognizing in this school
their strongest opponent.
Coach Mitchell has worked with
comparatively green squad of de-
baters this year, but has developed
two good teams which will certainly
make a creditable showing in these
debates.
The affirmative team is made up
of Everett Smith, Margaret Bailey,
Kenneth Preston; the negative team,
Ronald Baker, Carleton Ames and
Fred Wandrey.
The question for debate is: Re-
solved, That the. Federal Government
should own and operate the coal mines
of the United States.

years Stillwater's leading hosiery,
is about to be torn down to make
room for the new Lowell hotel which
is to be built on the site of the his
toric mark. :.
Today an auction is being held at
the Sawyer House, and among the

tin-types and numerous other relics
of pioneer days.
One item of especial interest is an
old mohair chair, favorite of the
late "Uncle John" Daubney.
Next week the work of razing the
old building will be commenced and
soon nothing will remain of the st.
Croix Valleys most famous re-
minder of pioneer days.

interesting meeting in the City Hall
here last Thursday evening.
The affair was arranged for by Mr..
z. p. Welch, the associations able
tester, who plans to get the members
together at least once month for
social and educational programs.
County Agent H. G. Seyforth, who
had been holding a series of soil
meetings in the county, cooperated
with My WEIGH in arranging last
Thursdays program.
One of the entertainment features
was talk on "Plant Feeding" by Mr..
A. 7. Rankin of the American Agri-

Normal School Seniors
Present Class Play

The Senior Class Play, three-act
comedy, entitled Cousin Kate" was
given last Friday night, February 30,
TO a remarkably large house. The
play was as unusual as was the
date on which it was given.
Ellen Hanson, as Cousin Kate, pic
tured skillfully the rather sophisti-
Gated, successful woman, who real
ICES at last that home and hus-
band are the things worth while.
Heath Desmond, the man in queeti
was very cleverly presented as rath-
er of the idealistic type by Carroll
Brown. Frances Webster, as the
mother of Bobby and Amy Spencer,
showed some excellent character
work. Amy Spencer, as played by
Frances Sharar, was the perfect type
of good religious girl. Wayne
Taylor, playing the part of Rev.
Bartlett, was barely recognizable
with his sanity manners. Charles
Dawson, as Bobby Spencer, showed
himself a juvenile actor of promise.
Romola Cheney, took to perfection,
the part of Jane, a rather dumb
English maid.
The entire play cast is to be con-
graduated for its good work, and
ability to give such a pleasing play.
Miss Schlosser should certainly feel
proud of the play, for more depends
upon the coaching than we some
times realize. We must not neglect
TO mention the electrician, George
Hutchins, whose efforts produced such
realistic lightning, nor Vie Erickson
and Cliff Evenson, who served as
thunder-makers. Music was furnish
ed between acts by the Normal or
chestra.- Student Voice.
