TROUT SEASON CLOSES
NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT

Midnight next Sunday, August 81,
will wind up the trout fishing for
this season.
Thanks to the efforts of the River
Falls Rod & Gun Club, the streams
of this vicinity, and especially the
upper. stretches of the Kinnickinnic,
have been well stocked and have af-
forded local and visiting Waltonians
with some good sport all summer.
Those who knew how have taken out
some fine strings, and even some of
the rest of us have had pretty fair
luck.
An unprecedented pestilence Of mo-
squitoes has been a severe handicap
to the enjoyment Of angling during
the closing weeks of the season.
The oldest inhabitants cannot re-
member when these pests were as
numerous or as persistent and greedy
for human blood.

WRONG MAN HELD
in WALBY MURDER?
"Lifer" At Saltwater Claims To
Know That Convicted Slayer Did
Not Kill Son OF Hudson Post
master

MinneapOlis.-W Stauffer, con-
fessed murderer of Emil Engstrom,
Minneapolis patrolman, has written
a letter from Saltwater penitentiary
in which he said: "Verne Lane did
not kill Walby. The man who did
it was friend of mine"
Lane, convicted largely on circum-
stantial evidence, also is in the
differs" row at Saltwater prison.
Orville P. Walby, 8Sth Division
veteran and grocer at 5000 Chicago
ave., this city, son of Postmaster T.
A. Walby, Hudson, Wis, was shot
and killed Dec. %, 1923, by holdup
man. Four children, peering in at a
Christmas tree display in the grocery
window, saw the crime and later
picked out Lane as the murderer.
Twenty minutes after Walby was
killed." Stauffer wrote, "this friend
of mine drove up in a car, where
was standing at Seventh and Hen
nepin avenue.
"Here," he said, handing me a
pistol, 'take this rod. l got into a
jam and had to shoot a fellow"
"The next day l read of Walby's
murder and knew who had done it
Lane is innocent.
Acting on information in the let.
ter, detectives reopened investiga-
tion of the Walby murder, and SAID
they would question the man named
by Stauffer as the real murderer.
From Milwaukee comes the infor
nation that the man named by
Stauffer as the murderer of Walby
is under arrest in that city.

GYPSIES SEE COPS;
CUT VISIT SHORT

Local police gave the "bum's
rush" to three auto loads of gypsies
that came into town about eleven
o'clock this morning.
The gypsy "queens" had been
turned loose at the north end Of
Main street to pick up a few honest
CD pennies at the business places
when Chief Hutchins appeared on the
scene and precipitated mad scram-
bic among the nomads to reach their
cars. Hudson authorities had sent
q warning that the gypsies W. e
headed this way, and the local police
were notified to be on the lookout.
They headed south out of here, and
Prescott and Ellsworth were notified.

SOUVENIR HUNTERS STRIP
WRECKED AEROPLAN E

Baldwin people had their first op-
portunity to witness an aeroplane
smash-up on Friday afternoon, Aug.
Is. A plane being driven from
White Bear Lake to MenomOnie
smashed into field on the Kapper's
farm east of the village. Friday
was cloudy and rainy day and while
flying they accidently ran into q
rain cloud which shorted the motor,
causing the machine to fall. Forum
ately the occupants were not serious
ly injured. Mr.. Louie Canoe of
Menomonie (the owner of the ma
chine) was knocked unconscious but
suffered no internal injuries.
Mr.. Canoe had purchased the ma
chine some time ago and was just
taking it home. 1t was very badly
damaged and it is reported that what
was not damaged was taken by peo-
pie anxious for souvenirs.-Baldwin

MAY GET BUFFALO
FOR GLEN PARK zoo

Attention of the River Falls Chap
ter of The Izaak Walton League of
America has been called to the fact
that the United States Department
of The Interior has made an offer to
distribute buffalo from Yellowstone
National Park to applicants, free of
charge.
The Walton Chapter and Rod &
Gun Club here have sponsored the
establishment of the Glen Park zoo,
and may make application for one
or two animals from the Yellowstone
herd.
The reason given for decreasing
the national park herd is that there
are getting to be too many there for
accommodation on their allotted range.

Frances William Baker Elected
President

Following is the secretary's report
of the twenty fourth annual picnic
of the Old Academy Girls, held in
Glen Park, River Falls, last Thursday,
August 81:
The day came cloudy and threaten
ing, so much so that it seemed for a
time that We could not have our
picnic in the park. We felt that we
would not be living up to our tradit-
would not be living up to our trad
ition unless we did, so we gathered
there as in years past, and twenty
nine responded to roll CALL
Old friendships were renewed, and
many "reminiscences were unchanged
while our Food Commissioner, Lucy
Powell, and some of the daughters
were arranging the tables for our
banquet. Lucy showed her usual eff
ficiency in planning and serving the
meal, and a rising vote of thanks was
given her.
The tables were beautifully decor
ated with an abundance of flowers,
which were later sent to Mrs. Elmira
Nichols Powell and Mrs. Nettie
Thayer Collins, who were unable to
meet with us.
We then drew a little closes to-
gether for the business meeting.
Our President, Ella Atwater Taylor,
called us to order. She reminded us
that while our hearts had been sad
dened an unusual number of times
this year through the loss of twelve
of our schoolmates, we must close
the doors of our memories for a
while and spend the day in the way
our lost ones would wish us to.
Notes from Miss Laura Weld and
Mrs. Ethel Hubert were read, each
expressing appreciation and thanks
for flowers sent and love shown at
the time their mothers were laid
away. Extracts from an obituary Of
Ann Hickock Swanson, who had died
a few days before, were read.

FARMERS LOSE MONEY
ON FERTILE EGGS

Curtis Johnson of this city has re-

prominent position in local stores, a
government bulletin which urge
poultry raisers to produce infertile
eggs for the market.
The poster illustrates by photos
the development process of fertile
and infertile eggs during a seven
day period, proving that the infertile
egg is the one to bank upon for
market value.
Every poultry raiser should study

Thus, if one will take the trouble
to figure the matter out, it is proven
that instead of beneftting the farm
communities, the actual figures show
that the cities and villages benefit
over the rural communities by more
than two to one in the ratio of ex-
emption.
That is why Assemblyman Miner
of st. Croix county, and others who
are particularly interested in farm
legislation, declare that they will do
all in their power to have this politi-
cal maneuver law repealed.

in connection with growing a bumper crop Of wheat
There are many chances for something to 90 wrono he

Twenty bushels, grain buyers say, is the most common
figure heard in reporting t~hreshing returns and 20 blsh.
els is believed to be close to the average. Manv fields
have turned out far more-24, %, 80. SO. SO and 2 few
even more. On the lower side there are Yields of Is. 16.

of farmers have threshed out a crop Of over 1000 bush
els. Another matter of congratulation is the almost ideal
weather thai has attended the harvesting and tbreshino
of he crop.
When it comes to consideration of the money end
of the 1924 crop, not much of a head is ,eouired to know
that the farmers are getting far better reward for their
labor and their faith in the country than at any time in
recent years. With the average yield at 20 bushels, or
possibly more, and the price holding around S1.15 or
S1.18, the 1924 crop is by far the most profitable to the
growers of the four good to fairly good crops of the last
years.
When it is considered how thinly the land is settled
and what the wheat acreage could reasonably be expect
ed to reach with a farmer on each section or half section,
with wheat held to its proper proportion in the plan

Wolf Point territory is something Misunderstanding
