RIVER FALLS BAND
WILL PLAY SATURDAY

The River Falls band, organized
his Fall and directed by Mr.. Waters,
will make its first public appearance
next Saturday, when it will lead the
Normal school Homecoming parade
and afterwards play few selections
at the River Falls-Eau Claire foot
BAH game on Kramer FieiG.
For the past two months the ex-
pense of getting director here has
been borne by the Normal school and
the players themselves. Business es-
adjustments of the city have CON
tributed funds for a share of the ex-
pense for the ensuing few weeks.
1t is hoped that plan for perman-
ent support of the band may be evol-
we'd soon, and that hereafter the or
ganization will have sufficient back
ing to carry it through.

St. CrOix Taxpayers
Favor Mr.. Hunt
Following Communication Is Pub
lished In Neighboring County In
Reply To Hanson Propaganda

To Property Tax Payers: A So
called tax payers league of Pierce
county is distributing a circular at
lacking W. H. Hunt, candidate for
state senator. 1t is true that the
property tax payers of the cities as
well as large proportion of the
farmers voted for Professor Hunt
and for very good reason. Take
for instance last sessions pet
measure, the socalled Homestead
Exemption Law This law practic-
ally exempts the owners of small
homes in our cities and places their
taxes on larger property owners and
the farmers. AS law, it favors the
cities. To illustrates: The City of
Hudson is entitled to about $780,
100000 in exemptions on a valuation
of $2,300,0 100000, while the towns of
Hudson and Troy get an exemption
of less than $85,000.O0 on a valua-
tion of $2,550,00000. BY voting fer
this act Mr.. Hanson deliberately in
creased the taxes of the farmers at
time when they were least able to
bear it.
From the above it will be seen that
Hanson is not the friend of the
farmer. But what more can be tx-
pected of him? He means we'll but
does not know any better. PRESUME
ably the socialist bunch from the
eastern part of the state fnd him
useful.

Capt. Ryan Coming
Here Saturday Eve

Captain Thomas A. Ryan, St.
Croix county's former ex-service
man candidate for Congress, on the
Democratic ticket, is staging one Of
the greatest campaigns of the politi-
cal history in this section of Wis
consin. He has spoken in nearly
every part of the District to large
and enthusiastic gatherings, and at
this time he is planning to close his
campaign with an address at River
Falls Saturday night, Nov. 1.
Mr.. Ryan declares that the need
of this part Of the State is the re-
jNvenation and revitalizing Of agri-
culture, and that to secure this the
farmer must be brought under the
protective system on a parity with
industry, commerce and labor. At
Chippewa Falls last Saturday eve
ming Captain Ryan addressed a very
large meeting and his plea, Equal
ity for Agriculture" won a splendid
response from farmers, business
men and laboreis. "All the farmer
asks is a square DEAL" declared Mr..
Ryan. Being thoroughbred Ameri-
can the farmer refuses to ask
handicap. His demand is for justice;
to get justice he must choose men of
capacity, courage, and conscience to
represent him. No other course can
give him relief"
Where is our Congressman Frear
that he is not in the District asking
the support of the voters? 1t has
been openly and repeatedly charged
that Mr.. Frear, while holding the Of
fee of the Member of Congress from
the 10th Congressional Districs of
Wisconsin, is not a bonifed resident
of the District. Also that he does
not pay taxes in the District, either
real estate, personal or income tax.
That he possesses no realty in this
district. This is charge laid at his
door, not by Mr.. Ryan, but by prom
inent Republicans and to date Mr.
Frear has made no answer to the
charge. Perhaps MIR. Frear has gone
from the 10th Wisconsin District for
good.

SAW TWO BAD WRECKS
LAST SUNDAY NIGHT

]. L. WATSON and Geo. w. Chin
mock, Jr., returning home from the
Twin Cities last Sunday night, were
on hand to witness two disasterous
and spectacular automobile wrecks
which occurred within a short dis
lance of each other on The Yellow
stone Trail few miles this side of
st. Paul.
The driver of the first car to be
wrecked was killed He had swerved
his car off the road, across a deep
ditch and up steep enbankment,
and the machine tipped over back
wards onto him, causing internal in
iuries from which he died soon after
wards.
After leaving the scene of this
wreck Messrs. WATSON and Chin
mock were just in time to come upon
the complete ruins of a buggy which
had been demolished by an auto
An elderly couple in the buggy mir
aculously escaped uninjured. The
auto, which overturned after strik-
ing the car, was badly wrecked, but
no one in it was seriously hurt.
Those involved in the two wrecks
were strangers to the River Falls
men.

ALL PARTIES FAVOR
THE FORESTRY MEASURE
Voters Are Urged To Vote For The
Forestry Amendment

In the language of the typewriter.
This is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of their party"
But there is at least one question to
be put to the voters of Wisconsin
next Tuesday that is in no sense a
party question. That question
Quoting from the BALLOT is this:
Shall amendment to Article
VIII, Section 10, of the state consti-
tuition, providing that he state may
appropriate not to exceed two tenths
of enc mill of taxable property for
forestry purposes, be adopted ?"
The local chapter of the Izaak
Walton League calls your attention
to this question, believing that in
your own interests and in the inter-
ests of your children you will sup
port it. Passed, this question means
that the foundation of a wise, for
ward-looking pollok of demonstration
will be laid. Defeated, it means
that we sel6shly beQueth to poster
tion constitution of our haphazard,
wasteful methods in using up the
states timber resources with no at
tempt at replacement. That means
chat we selfishly bequeth to proster-
ity land stripped of trees, streams
whose failing waters are unshaded
and unfed, and whose hills where
once deep shade and beauty dweIt
will rear their bald tops unfit even
for niggardly pasture-land.
Don't pass up the referendum ball
lot. Ask for one, and vote right.

HOME RULE AMENDMENT
SHOULD BECOME LAW

The "Home Rule" amendment, to
be voted upon next Tuesday, is a
good measure and should be passed.
1t would give to cities the power
to adopt BENEFICIAL local legislation
not covered in their charter, without
having to place the matter before
the state legislature. This power is
not handed over to the city councils,
but to the voters themselves, as ali
such matters would have to be passed
by a majority of the voters Of the
municipality.
An illustration Of the benefit Of
home rule government in cities IS
shown in the case of Hudson, which
was delayed a year in the purchase
of its bridge through having to await
the pleasure Of the state legislature.

CIVIC PRIDE CALLS
FOR EVERY VOTE

Let's put River Falls on the map
as "The City Without A Stacker"
There are one thousand, three
hundred eighty-nine 1,3S9) persons
in River Falls today who are eligible
to vote at the city polls next Tues
day.
No one of these 1889 people has =
valid excuse for not voting. If there
are some who can not walk to the
polls automobiles will be furnished
to take them there and back at any
time during the day. Those unable,
through sickness, to even ride, may
secure doctors affidavits and have
their vote registered for them.
To aid in this service a free auto
service is to be established next
Tuesday, and cars will be dispatched
to any part of the city and placed
at the service of voters. No distinc-
tion is made in regard to politics or
policies-the idea is to get out every
single vote.
Those wishing the free auto ser
vice Tuesday should call phone 81.
Vote as early as possible, so that
a last-minute rush won't find some
left out when the polls close
The voting hours are from 9 a. m.
to $50 p. M; at the City Hall for
Second, Third and Fourth Ward resi-
dents; at the Pumping Station on
North Main street for the First
Ward residents.

SUNDAY MORNING BLAZE
CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE

Fire which started in the base
ment of The Fair Store, corner of
Main and Walnut streets, about 4:30
Sunday morning, spread throughout
the building and caused heavy dam
age.
Dense smoke enveloped the struc-
ture and seeped through into the
Golden Rule store adjoining, and
this, with the deluge of water which
was necessary to smother the hid
den flames, was responsible for most
of the property loss.
The firemen had difficult task to
reach the flames, and twice after the
blaze appeared to be subdued, it
crept up through the partitions and
broke out anew. A section of the
floor in the Fair Store gave way and
fell into the basement. A large
share Of the Fair Store stock and fix
lures was damaged by smoke and
water. Lodge rooms over the Fair
store were also damaged somewhat.
The Fair Store, owned, building
and stock, by Mr.. A. Rosenthal, was
insured as follows: building, S12 :
600; stock, $4,000. The loss on the
building is estimated at between 40
and SO per cent. The stock loss has
net as yet been estimated.
Mr.. Plummer's loss in the Golden
Rule store was covered by insurance.
The Plummer and w. Biddick apart
ments, over the Golden Rule store,
also suffered some damage from
smoke. This loss is also covered by
insurance.
Mr.. Rosenthal has made arrange
ments to carry on his business in one
of the Gladstone Hotel annexes until
his store building is repaired.

Orange & White Trims
St. Paul Central High
Headwork OF River Falls Players
More Than ff-sets SANITY Beef
Locals Play At Eau Claire To-
morrow

Coach Klanrud's gridiron warriors
invaded st. Paul last Friday and de-
feated Central High of that city at
Lexington Park Is to 6.
The two forward walls were pretty
evenly matched, and neither team
had much success in line plunging.
But River Falls had the Saints COM
pletely at their mercy in the air at
tack game, the Standish to Carisch
pass working to perfection, while the
Central passes were smothered by
Orange & White backs.
Almost Immediately after the
opening kickoff pass from Standish
was hauled in by Capt. Carisch for a
35-yard gain, and this was followed
by another which resulted in
touchdown, Carisch racing 25 yards
4to the goal.
In the third quarter River Falls
Unanswered the ball into position in
front of the goal and Savage drop
ped over a neat field goal, bringing
the Orange & White tally to nine.
This was followed by three success
full Standish-to-Carisch passes which
brought River Falls last touchdown.
Central then had it's inning, three
first downs, followed by forward
pass resulting in Ccntrals only
score.
In reviewing the game, Ed. Shave,
St. Paul Daily News sport writer,
who was umpire at Lexington Fri
day, complimented the River Falls
aggregation and mention individual
PLAYERS as follows:
"Carisch and Standish were the
outstanding stars for River Falls
Their snappy combinations were
very effective. segerstrom, Jensen,
Hagestad and Collins all performed
stalwartly on the line. Manion's
rushes in the backfeld gained many
yards when necessary"
Tomorrow the Orange d White
will journey to Eau Claire to accept
challenge from the high school of
that city. Next Tuesday River Falls
will take on Roberts high at Roberts,
and a week from tomorrow Bloomer
