State Auxiliary Head
Is Entertained Here

Mrs. Adalin Macauley of Menom-
inie, State President of the American
Legion Auxiliary visited the local
unit of the Auxiliary on Tuesday
evening of this week.
A six-thirty dinner was served by
the Auxiliary in the Legion Club
Rooms, at which Mrs. Macauley ana
members of the American Legion
were guests. At the close of the dim
ner, Mrs. Macauley gave talk on
the work of the Legion. She men
toned in particular the fine work
that is being done by the Washington,
d. c., Post in caring for the families
who bring their soldier dead for burial
in Arlington Cemetery. She also
talked at length on the Adjusted
Compensation Bill.
Mrs. Macauley has charming per-
sonality and her talk was an inspira-
tion to all present to go on with the
program for relieving disabled sold
iers and needy families of war veter-
ans. A meeting of the Auxiliary fol-
lowed the dinner at which the Ritual
was explained to members and in
stallation of officers was held.
The River Falls Auxiliary was in
deed fortunate in having Mrs. Macau .
ley as their guest.

River Falls Laundry
Has Banner Year

Elsewhere in this issue OF The
journal is published the annual state
ment of the River Falls Cooperative
Laundry, showing that 1923 was the
most prosperous year of the institu-
TONS history.
In the statement will be found an
item of S346.75, listed as The Henry
Prize Fund. When this laundry was
started, about 10 years ago, Profess
sor Henry, then a member OF the
Wisconsin university faculty, offered
a cash prize to the first Wisconsin
laundry to be operated successfully
on the Chatfeld, Mimi, cooperative
plan.
The River Falls laundry was the
only one of many such institutions tc
conclude successful year.. and Pro-
fessor Henry forwarded his check up
on receipt of the first annual state
ment. Each year thereafter the an
nual statement has been malice to
him, AID he has watched the pro-
gress of this concern with great in
terest. Last winter Professor Henry
was in Florida when the statement
was mailed to him, and in acknow-
lodging its receipt he stated that per-
haps it would be the last he would
live to see, as he was growing very
feeble.
The annual stockholders meeting
was held last Saturday. Mrs. Young
gren and Mr.. Grimm were reelected
as directors. The other directors are
Mrs. Frank Bliss, Mr.. J. L. Chapman.
ST., and Mr.. NJ. Norseng.
The directors reelected the follow
ing officers:
PRESIDENT. III. Grimm
Vice-Pres.-Mrs. Nancy Younggren
-Treas.-M. Norseng.
The so dividends are to be paid in
May as usual.
During the past year $500 of the
laundry debt was paid; $500 on the
laundry department, and $500 on the
new dry-cleaning works; leaving a
total debt of only $1,000.
The River Falls laundry serves a
large territory. Its patronage is not
only from this community, and from
most of the cities and yillages OF the
two counties, but comes from as lar
distant as Washburn, Cumberland
and the Twin Cities.
Successful operation at the low
prices charged and the high standard
maintained is a matter of constant
wonder to the operators Of laundries
in other localities.
The open secret of this success is
cooperation. Efficiency and low
prices can be maintained as long as
the people of this community pat
ronize this, their own home concern,
and supply it with sufficient volume
of business to keep it constantly en-
ployed.
