River Falls Boys
Will Attend Camp

The following young men of this
city have made application to atteri
the Citizens Military Training Camp
at Battle Creek, Michigan, this SUM
mer: Kenneth Hummel, Franklin
Standish, Lowell Dawson, Richard
Smith, Behlmer Carisch and Leroy
Luberg.
The boys anticipate a fine outing.
The Government pays them five cents
mile for travelling expenses both
ways, provides them with uniforms,
meals and quarters while they are
there, as well as with many other
conveniences. The camp commences
August l, 1924, and lasts for thirty
days.
Pierce county's quota this year
was eight. Some of the counties
have failed to fill their quota, how
ever, so there is still an opportunity
for five or six more to go to Camp
Custer from River Falls if they de-
sire to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity at once.
If you are interested see Capt. K.
S. White, who has the necessary APP
plication blanks and will be glad to
explain the purposes of the c. M. T..
G. to you.

POPPIES IN FRANCE

The devastation wrought by the
war in Flanders and Northern France
is understood to a certain extent by
Americans, but one will never fully
appreciate the ruin until he sees it
for himself.
In one section of France, for ex-
ample, there was a wonderfully fer
tile soil, we'll adapted for wine max /.
ing grapes, the result of hundreds of
years of intensive cultivation and
fertilizing. The barrages completely
destroyed the fertile top soil, and the
region is now a whole waste with the
remains of trenches and fortifica-
tions.
Even with the constant aid of the
elements, it will be years before it
will be habitable for man again, but
the poppies have regained their foot
ing and make the only pleasant
thing to look upon.
These waving banners of flaming
peoples spring in perpetual memorial
on the countless graves of the war
dead.

I'VE HONOR THE LIVING BY
SERVING THE DEAD"

IF We break faith"-Oh trouble not
That we shall let you be forgot.
That we might live, We yonder lie,
AS the worlds tumult hurries by.
Fret not that thoughless souls do
slave
For gold, that not one life could
save.
We grateful thousands shall recall
Those Over There who gave their all.
If peoples blow where heroes lie,
Think not the flag of shame We'll fly.
Our duty to them lies at hand
Help to the living in this land.
To those less fortunate than we
Who cannot hear and cannot see.
Those shell-shocked souls with minds
distraught,
With such a price, our freedom
brought.
"Twere better far, we all were gone
Than that we fail to Carry On
Till. every man who needs our care,
Receives a recompense that's fair.
Well work and fight, till there shall
come
Justice to our disabled ones.
Wen keep the faith to us revealed
By those who lie in Flanders Fields.

Pioneer Merchant
Sells and RetireS

Spring Valley. P. Kahut, who
has been in business in Spring Val
ley for thirty-one years, has sold his
property and business here to Johr
and Rudolph Gavic.
When Spring Valley first started
Mr.. Kahut, in company with John
Weiser, built on the elevator corner"
and started wagon shop and black
smith shop. Later he bought out Mr..
Weiser, and ran the business alone;
the last few years he has had his
son Joe with him. But he has not
been well for several years, and con-
cluded he would sell out and take Il
long vacation, to see if he could re-
gain his strength.
The location is one of the best in
town for a business Of the kind, ard
the Gavic Motor Co. expect to make
the most of it. Joe Kahut will prob
ably stay at work for them this
summer.
Since the coming of the auto the
wagon business has been dwindling,
and the shop is now devoted to the
horseless wagon; even the blacksmith
shop has been relegated to the rear.
Joe Volmer, who has run the black
smith shop, will probably continue to
do so.
The Kahut family are among the
very oldest settlers in Spring Valley,
and will be missed here.-Sun.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION
IN PAGEANT CAST

In making up the cast of charact-
ers for the Third Episode of the
Pageant the name of Abner Morse
was inadvertently omitted from the
published list. The Committee
keenly regets the error, and wishes
to correct it at this time.
In securing the site for the Nor
NAL School, and in influencing the
Regents and members of the Legisla-
ture in favor of bringing the school
to River Falls the work of Abner
Morse was invaluable.
