Two little girls of II years were
drowned at Parsons last Friday, lit
tie Ruby Stevens and Yvcnne Luzier,
they ventured on thin ice on the
pulp mill pond, the father of the
Stevens girl witnessed the tragedy
and succeeded in rescuing another
daughter of his. This should be a
warning to children that recklessness
is often fatal Skating on thin ice,
beating trains at crossings, lodging
autos and many other dangerous
chances which children take in the
spirit of dare.

An amazing new treatment for
Rheumatism has been received IN
this country from Italy. This new
scientific discovery promises to put
an end to terrible rheumatic suffer-
ing in even the most stubborn
cases.
AlessandrO Volta, the well-known
Italian physicist, for whom the elec.
trio volt has been named, discover
ed IL scientific combination of Ger.

fine powder that is intended to be
powerful and active Uric Acid
solvent. This discovery he has
Called Volta. 1t is not to be taken
internally, but is shaken into the
shoes or stockings and is intended
to be absorbed into the blood
through the pores of the feet. This
absorption is aided by the fact
that the soles of the feet contain
over 10 times the number of pores
found in any other part of the
body.
SO remarkable and rapid have
been the results from the use Of
Volta powder, both in this country
and in Italy, that the American dis
tributors have authorized local
druggists to dispense Volta with an
unqualified guarantee of relief froln
the use of the very first package
or your money will be refunded.
If you suffer from rheumatic
pains, Sciatica, Lumbago, Govt or

to try this remarkable scientific
treatment 1t Is absolutely harm

|AP ROBERTS AND FREAR
ENGAGE in VERBAL

Congressman Frear and Editor
Percy APP Roberts gave the members
of the Hudson Commercial Club bit
of impromptu entertainment at re-
cent meeting of that organization
when the editor answered Frear's
charge that the Hudson newspaper
was not giving its congressman
proper publicity.
Frear took the occasion to point
out that Hudson should feel indebted
to him for securing another rural
route for that city. He also called
attention to his majorities through
out the district.
In reply to the publicity charges,
Mr. APP. Roberts stated that he was
the editor of the Hudson paper and
was responsible for its statements,
and therefore felt called upon to
answer.
Mr.. APP Roberts regretted that IA
these serious POLITICAL days so many
of us are not taking enough interest
to turn out and vote at the primary
and general election. Emigration
has been permitted into America un-
til this country is no longer able to
absorb it, and American traditions
are being overwhelmed 1t is a stu
alton of which political damagogues
are taking advantage.
In conclusion Mr.. APP Roberts
stated that he had not criticized Mr..
Frear as severely as he had the rest
of that crowd of politicians who are
steadily tanning the flames that lead
on to revolution, and said that he
could not support such a program
and be true to his country, our con-
stitution and our flag, The editor
speech was heartily applauded.

PROFESSOR MITCHELL
ON RECEDING DEMOCRACY

Professor R. S. Mitchell of the
River Falls Normal school, in a
lecture delivered before the Woman.
Club of Hudson on Tuesday OF last
week, pointed out the deplorable lack
of interest in government shown by
the voters of the United States.
Only about fifty per cent Of the
men and less than forty per cent OF
the women vote, declared Professor
Mitchell.
His topic was "Rcceding Democ-
racy," and he cited Spain and Italy
where revolution and Fascist move
ments are rife, and where democrat
ic government, monarchistic in name
only, has been supplanted by gov
eminent that is practically pictorial
Mr.. Mitchell urged that principles
of good citizenship, especially re-
spect for law, be inculcated in the
minds of the children, at home AMI
at school.
After the meeting of the Woman's
Club, Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell were
entertained at the home of Judge
and Mrs. George Thompson.

COUNTY HOLSTEIN UNITS
PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR

With an outstanding Holstein show
at every county fair in the state
with 526 Black and White animals on
exhibit at the State Fair; with COM
petition so keen that almost every
county in the state of Holstein inn
portance breaking into the blue win
ming ranks and with the Holstein
owners of Wisconsin taking five
championships out of a possible six,
z firsts, 8 seconds and thirds at the
National Dairy Exposition, Holstein-
Friesian associations now number
ing 65 in Wisconsin have closed the
most active year in Wisconsin's Hol-
stein history.
However, they are not content
and will not hibernate for the winter,
Already plans for 1925 are in the
making. A few county associations
have already called the members in
to conference and committees are al
ready appointed and busy. In most
cases program of activity at least
is in the making.
Wisconsin must not let up in eff
fort of her organizations if Wiscon-
sin leadership as the greatest Hoi-
stein state is going to continue.
Official records and COW testing as
ISOLATION methods of determining
production will be employed as never
before this winter. Everywhere
there seems an increased interest in
the possibilities of advancement to
the breed thru organization.
The very strongest leaders are
being urged to hold offices. Member
ships will be increased. Finances.
always the ban of farm organiza-
tions are receiving the attention of
competent committees. Lack OF
finances circumscribes activities
while money makes the mare go
is common slogan. Holstein own
ers realize this and must meet The
fewer enemies with prompt remit
lance in membership payments and
other forms of contribution.

Hudson Team SWamped
By Orange and White
River Falls High Smothers Hudson.
rs to O-Will Play Menomonie
High At Menomonie Tomorrow

River Falls High breezed through
to 26 to 0 victory over Hudson high
here last Saturday afternoon in
weather ideal for the audience but
altogether too warm tor snappy
football playing.
The score fairly indicates the COM
parative strength of the two teams,
River Falls having decided advan-
tage in all departments of the game.
Hudson opened the fracas by kick
ing off to Standish, who made a 30
yard return. After couple Of
skirmishes a beautiful pass, Standish
to Bliss, resulted in the first touch
down. Another touchdown in the
second quarter brot the score to Is
to 0 at the end of the first half.
The Orange & White was given an
opportunity 10 show its power in the
second half, and the forwards per-
pormed in veteran fashion, giving
the backfield grand opportunities for
big gains. The line plunging of
Savage, and the masterful leadershio
of Capt. Carisch had the visitors
completely baffled, and River Falls
scored two more touchdowns in the
last half, the game ending 26 to 0 in
favor of River Falls.
Tomorrow the Orange & White go
to Menomonie to play the fast Mem
cmonie high, one of the strongest
high school teams in this section of
the state. This should be wonder
full game, and many local fans are
planning to accompany the team.

ARTERIAL SIGNS UP
ALONG MAIN STREET

Although the ordinance declaring
Main street an arterial highway has
been in force for several weeks, and
violation of the rule punishable by
fine, no effort has been made hereto
fore to call drivers to account on this
score.
But the arterial highway markers
have been erected at the intersec-
tions and the ordinance is to be en-
forced from now on, with arrests ana
fines if necessary.
The signs are in black lettering on
a white background and so conspicu-
ously placed at the drivers right
that there is no excuse for anyone
not needing them.
