Cow Test Associations
To Be ReOrsanized

Farmers of this community who do
not belong to the River Falls Cow
Testing association will have an OPP
portunity to become members on
May 8 when a reorganization meet
ing is to be held in the City Hall
here.
The Maiden Rock, Prescott, Elm
wood and Plum City associations will
also reorganize, and dairy men oil
those localities will have opportun-
tiles to join the club most convenient
for them.
Those who have belonged to COW
testing associations for a sufficient
length of time to realize the adj
vantages are enthusiastic in promot-
ing the work, and every farmer who
has dairy cattle should be interested
A splendid testimonial on this sub
ject is given in County Agent Sey-
forth's column elsewhere in this
paper, and further notice of the
River Falls reorganization meeting is
given at the end of the local associ-
ations report for the month of April
published in the column adjoining
this on the left, of this weeks Jour
nal.

Are Liable To A Fine

Dist. Atty. Kenneth S. White has
rendered an opinion to Mr.. C. F.
Kenall, County Highway Commits
sioner, to the effect that any person
found defacing, mutilating, or other
wise interfering with highway mark
ers, ratings, bridges or culverts

partment is about to remark all

this county, and have asked the
newspapers of Pierce County to pub
lish warnings that any persons found
violating the section of the statutes
referred to above will be severely
dealt with.
Small boys armed with % rifles,
and others inclined to destructive in
stincts, will do well to turn their at
tentions to something else besides
highway guards and markers this
summer.
The penalty for violation If Sec
4442 of the Revised Statutes, Is a
fine of not to exceed $4,000, or a jail
sentence of not to exceed six months

Baldwin School, Stores
Petty Larceny Victims

Baldwin.-There comes a time in
every young child's life when his de-
sire to gain possession of some arti-
Gle may tempt him to steal. If this
habit continues without being check
ed in its early stage, eventually, the
child may cultivate the instinct and
become a regnear future.
This petty larceny occurs in all
towns and at this time seems to be q
regular occurance in our village.
Last Friday night Bliesuer & Lar
sons establishment was broken into.
AS their usual custom, the small
cash was left in the open cash regist-
er, this was stolen. The drug store
also reports the loss of pipes, cigars,
cigaretts, face powder and other
toilet articles. The restaurants have
lost Eskimo pies, pop and candy.
The greatest of all these thefts was
that which occurred at the local
school. About twenty-five Eyersharp
pencils and the same number of
fountain pens were stolen.
People will not stand for this long
and evidence is now being sought to
bring the guilty people to order.
This should serve as timely warning
that such actions will not be tolerat-
ed.-Bulletin.

members.
The costs Of the suits for the band
members will be approximately 500.
The organization officers say they
have about $4,000 in sight of their
own to go toward purchasing the
uniforms; a committee of the band
went before the Village Council ask
ing the Council to appropriate APP
proximately $4,000 to the band to
help defray the expense of purchas-
ing these uniforms.
The Council asked the Clerk to de-
termine just how the granting Of the
request for $500 would effect the tax
payers of the village. The Clerk
finds that on each 800 of assessed
valuation the cost to the taxpayer
would be ) cents; soc on each $1,000
of assessed valuation, So on each
$4,000 assessed valuation. Conse.
quently you can readily see that the
cost to the taxpayers thus distributed
is very small.
In return for this appropriation
from the Village the band agrees to
give numerous open air concerts dur
ing the summer free of all charge to
the people of the Village and sur
rounding community. The uniforms
when purchased will remain in the
Village under lock and key and do
not become the individual property
of band members, but remain the
property of the Band organization.
1t is to be hoped that should the
Village Council decide TO grant the
request of the Legion Band it viii
meet with the approval of every tax
payer of the Village. The open air
concerts by the band at intervals
during the season will draw large
numbers of people from the sur
rounding country, to say nothing of
the enjoyment derived by cur own
citizens, and the appropriation of the
small sum of $500 is one way Of
showing the public spiritedness OF
our Village Dads" backed ZIP. as we
trust it will be, by every taxpayer
in town.

City Should Have
Good Brass Band
LOTS OF TALENT IN RIVER
FALLS. AND MANY DEMANDS
FOR SERVICES
Spring Valley Village Clerk Explains
Situation There

There is strong sentiment here in
favor of a local brass band, and there
appears to be plenty of talent, yet
there is no move on at present in
that direction.
Band concerts on Saturday even
ings, and for various occasions dur
ing the summer would prove a great
drawing card for the city, and, in
our opinion, the organization of a
band here should be encouraged.
Spring Valley has good organi-
cation, and perhaps the following
item, from the Spring Valley Sun,
will provide some inspiration that
viii help in starting a band here.
The Spring Valley Band
By Fl. J. Park, Village Clerk
The Spring Valley Legion Band,
as you all know, was organized over
a year ago by some forty of fifty
public-spirited men. 1t has by con-
slant effort developed into a we'll
managed organization and its con-
certs lately have been enjoyed by all
the people of the Village and sur
rounding community. These band
men have each and individually paid
for their own instruments, instruct
ors' fees, and music. Such real pro-
gress has been made by this band
that they now realize it is perman-
ent organization and they are now
confronted with the problem Of pur-
chasing suitable suits for the band

BROTHERS RIVALS FOR
 MARBLE CHAMPIONSHIP
Alexander Zaleski, l3' Elim- mates Frank, Younger
 Member of Family

A marble manipulator Of unusual ability in the person of Alexander Ialesd, 13 years old, Of 99 Booth street came to light yesterday after noon when he defeated all corners for the Elihu Burritt junior high school championship in tho Herald Junior Achievement marble shooting contest held on the school grounds. There is no predicting that he will be the city champion, but the boys and girls who may meet him in the inter- school and semi-iinal matches will need 10 have Timber knuckles to elim- mate him. He was the clevcrest shot in the field yesterday and only his own brother, Prank Xaleski, F years old, remained to oppose him in the final game of inc afternoon. The lat ter had eliminated William Helm, Milton Berkowitz, Leonard Anderson and Boris Srogi in the semi-fnals.
 Nicholas Kalos 1 9 years old, Of 70 Cherry street won the championship of the Central junior high school hav- ing eliminated Edward Matus and Ed- ward Faith in the deciding match. While the play generally is getting better as the various schooi cham pionships are being played off there are still many entries to get into the ring and a sufficient amount of prac- tice might enable boys or girls who may think they are not expert enough to win a match at least 10 win their school championship.
 The Camp and Washington schools will play off their school champion ships this afternoon and every effort is being made to have the finals played off at Walnut Hill park on Saturday. weather and other circum- stances permitting.
 The schools remaining where cham pions are 10 be determined are the Lincoln. Sacred Heart, Smalley, East, st. Joseph's and St. Mary's. These schools have the largest number Of entries and win probably develop some good material for the finals.
 Referees will bc notified by tele- phone of their assignments for the rest of the week.
