Many Boys And Girls
Enroll For Club Work

The meetings held May 5, 6, and Z
for boys and girls to interest and
enroll boys and girls in Club pro-
jects were very we'll attended, and a
large number of young folks enrolled.
Two hundred twenty-five enroll
ments were made at the meetings.
Of these % enrolled in the Corn
Club; 8 in Potato Club; 8 in the
Lamb Club; so in Sewing Club; 50
in Garden Club; so in Calf Club; 81
in Poultry Club; in Canning Club
and Is in Pig|Club.
Mr.. w. McNeel, Assistant State
Club Leader, helped conduct the
meetings. He was glad to see many
of last years members enroll again
this year.
Besides the above enrollments 70
boys and girls enrolled in various
Clubs thru their teachers or by mail,
and 20 have not quite decided what
project to take up. Every boy or
girl wishing to be Club Member
this year must fill out an enrolment
blank. These can be obtained from
the County Agent. Blanks are being
sent out to boys and girls who have
in some way indicated that they
want to enroll but did not attend any
of the meetings.
Some lists of names were handed
in by teachers, but no complete adj
dresses given, so enrolment blanks
can not be sent to those boys and
girls. If they wish to take up some
Club Project, they better write to
Mr.. Seyforth, or it is very likely that
some will be missed who really want
to get in.
All enrollments should be made
this month. Positively no enroll
ments will be accepted after July 1,
1924. AS Club Work is getting to be
more thoroughly understood, the
rules will be more strictly enforced.

Show At Ellsworth
Boosts Milk Products

Final arrangements were made by
the Pierce County Committee last
week for John NJ. Kelley's classic ex-
hibit, Fun On The Farm" to show
in Ellsworth, July /.
Kelley has three-fold purpose in
staging this show in Wisconsin.
First, as a needed community en-
tertainment; second, to introduce and
advertise milk as a drink, thereby
increasing the demand for Wiscon-
sins "Gold," and third, to wage an
effective battle against substitutes
for the real agricultural products.
Kelley has contracted for some
new stunts. In order to put over his
ideas of advancing Badger dairying,
he must do it in the form of clean
community entertainment.
The Baraboo attorney and farmer
has a pet peeve against farm pro-
ducts substitutes and chemical drinks
and proposes to use Fun On The
Farm" not alone to entertain, but to
put before the public p. actical
methods of putting agriculture into
its proper financial place.
"Think of it, here we are pr1duc-
ing the greatest health food and best
beverage in the world, Wisconsin
milk, and yet there is a surplus while
millions are collected out of CHARGED
chemical drinks" explCdes
Kelley. We want name for J
milk drink that will be sold in every
part of Wisconsin, in every store
where good drinks are sold and adj
vertisel.'
The Kelley show will make a cir
cult in Wisconsin this summer and
will end at the Wisconsin State Fair
and possibly at the National Dairy
Show in Milwaukee.

Old Time Students
Coming To Pageant

The response of alumni and friends
of the school leads the publicity COM
mittee for the pageant to expect one
of the largest crowds in the history
of River Falls. A frequent inquiry

will be accommodations in the city
for visitors.
A committee of faculty members
and towns people has been chosen to
handle this situation. A house to
house canvass of the city will be
made to secure sleeping rooms for
pageant visitors.
The cooperation and help of all
residents of the city will be solicited
and will be very greatly appreciated.

River Falls Asked
To Sign Petition
Mass Meeting AT ArmOry Next
Tuesday Eyening-EveryOns
Should Attend

Mr.. Citizen, this concerns you!
A blindly selfish project is on foot
to drain the great bottom lands of
the Upper Mississippi. According
to the Judgment of competent author
tiles this plan, if carried out, would
destroy one of the finest wild-life
refugees in the United States with
out yielding any recompense in
tillable land.
There is bill forbidding the car
rying out of this project in the
hands of our national Congress.
Members of the local chapter of the
Izaak Walton League have received
notice that Congress is likely to ig-
more the crying need for action, and
let this bill die.
Come to the mass-meeting and
hear the truth about this matter.
This nationwide protest needs your
support. Draining the bottom
lands means draining your pocket
book and robbing your children.
Be there with all your sons and
daughters to sign the petition to our
Congressman. The meeting will be
short, snappy and to the point.

Assessor Gives Out
Exemption Blanks
HOMESTEAD OWNERS MUST
FILL OUT AFFIDAVITS
BY JULY l
Will Mean Saving of About $2.75 per
$1,000 to Some and Like Increase
in Taxes to Others

City Assessor George w. Chin
mock, Jr., who is now making his
rounds for this years assessment
roll is leaving at each home an af-
fidavit for homestead exemption. A
deduction of $500 from assessed
valuation is allowed on property oc-
cupied by the owner as home--pro-
viding the homestead exemption af-
fidavit is filled out and field with the
assessor before July l, 1924. Extra
copies of the affidavit may be pro-
cured at the office of City Clerk
F. V. Williams, at the City Hall.
Last years assessment in the city
of River Falls amounted to $2,674,-
$50, of which $2,O53,155 was real,
and $621,295 personal. The tax rate
was 26A mills.
Estimating on a like assessment
this year, and, say 500 homes elig-
ible to the $500 exemption, total of
$250,000 assessed valuation will be
exempt and the tax will have to be
made up on other property.
The tax rate will be increased to
approximately 20 mills. Homestead
taxes will be reduced about $2.75
per $1,000, and the non-homestead
property will bear a corresponding
increase.

AMERICAS ANSWER

Rest We in peace, We Flanders dead.
The fight that We so bravely lead
We've take up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
With each crcss to mark his bed.
And peoples blowing overhead,
Where once his own life block ran
red.
So let your rest be sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that We have died for
for naught.
The touch We threw to us we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedoms light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that we
taught
In Flanders fields.

the death of Lieut.. Col. McCrae

Post.)

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our places; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If we break faith with US who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples
grow
In Flanders fields.

Cameron Dam Hero
Dies In Milwaukee

John Deitz, nationally famous as
"the defender of Cameron DAM"
died in Milwaukee last Thursday at
the age Of GO years. He is survived
by his widow and five children,
Clarence, Leslie, John, Miss Helen
Deitz and Mrs. Myra Newman.
Deitz came into the limelight when
unable to come to a settlement with
the Chippewa Log and Boom Co. re-
garding flooding rights on his Thorn
Apple river farm in Sawyer county,
he undertook to defend his claim by
force of arms.
In battle between himself, en-
trenched in his home, and sheriff 5
posse, deputy sheriff, Oscar Harp,
was killed. Dietz surrendered and
was sentenced to life Imprisonment
at Waupun. In 1921 he was pardoned
by the governor.
Shortly after his release he and his
family became enstranged, and he
had been making his home in Mil
waukee. His wife and children were
with him when he died.
1t had long been Dietz' contention
that Oscar Harp was not killed, and
last summer he came to Pierce
couny to try and get authority to
have the so-called Harp grave at
Elmwood reopened to prove his con-
tention.
