TWilite League Starts
On Its Second Series
Butchers" Win First Series And
Will Play Winners of Next
Round For City Title

Trig. Smuland's Butchers are
awarded the wreath of victory in the
first half of the Twilight League
race, and the second series was start
ed Tuesday evening when Fox's
"Skim Milks' trimmed Medley;
Chicken Chasers" IA to 10, or there
abouts.
The game was featured by heavy
smuggling and few acrobatic feats
of note. Prominent among the lat
ter was life-like imitation of some
thing or other from the zoo staged by
Buster Brown, who, on all tours,
capered in record time from first
base to the pitchers box without
Sitting a trouser-leg. 1t can't be
done, but he did it, receiving his
justly earned applause from ribald
audience.
Bob Dumond also astonished the
gaping world when he managed to
drop high fly which, like dream,
came to him as he slept and tried to
snuggle deep down into his glove.
He shook it free, however, and two or
three runners scored.
When Wigen essayed to pitch the
batters hit the ball so hard that the
fielders couldn't stop anything, so
Medley went in and for the next ten
minutes or so the fielders had no
trouble as the ball was batted too fan
overhead for them TO bother with
Thus Capt. Medley won the game
for Fox.
1t was a good game.

BUTTER MAKERS NET
HERE LAST WEEK

Every butter maker in Pierce
county had sample of his butter at
the scoring demonstration held in
this city the first of last week, and
great interest was shown in the scor-
ing.
Names and scores were not given
out, but it is said that the River
Falls Cooperative Creamery entered
one of the most perfect samples.
Mr.. Toteman, extension specialist
of the Wisconsin Dairy Department,
explained the why's and wherefores
of butter-scoring, and there was a
general discussion on the subject of
making better grades of butter.
Another meeting similar to this is
to be held this fall and every cream
cry patron should attend.

BOARDED WRONG BUS;
REACHED WRONG FALLS

One Of the Twin City dalies de-
voted column one day last week to
a story which relates the sad adj
venture of st. Paul young lady who
boarded Taylors Falls bus instead
of a River Falls bus at the Union
Bus Station in st. Paul.
The name Of the young lady ism
given, the story telling only that she
planned to spend the weekend with
a sister here; that she fell asleep
after getting into the bus, and awoke
to find herself we'll along on the
route to Taylors Falls.
This incident should serve as q
warning to others not to fall for any
old bus that goes to the Falls" but
to insist upon transportation to
"River" Falls if they want to have
an enjoyable weekend.

June Storms Are
Short But Snappy

The month of June is staging a
series Of short but poppy storms,
featuring wind, rain and lightning.
The week-ends are usually chosen,
probably with the idea of reaching"
the most motorists and other outing
parties.
Last Saturday afternoon this ST.
ton was favored with two or three
performances" and on Sunday a
real show was put on through the
middle sections of Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
Property loss was considerable,
especially in the vicinity of Tracy,
Mimi, and in the city of River Falls
and neighborhood many trees were
blown down and branches tossed on
to telephone and electric wires with
disasterous effect. The light service
was cut off here Sunday evening
and not resumed until repairs were
completed Monday morning.

Bulls At Large
Are Serious Menace
Complaints Are Made That Scrub
Bulls Are Not Confined Properly
Law Makes Owner Liable
For Damages-Dist. Atty.
Is Asked To Give
Warming

Complaints, especially from breed
ers of pure-bred cattle, have been
coming in quite frequently of late
that owners of bulls are not keep
ing them confined to the home
pasture, and that these animals are
breaking in among neighboring
herds.
District Attorney X. S. White and
County Agent H. G. Seyforth have
been appealed to to help put stop
to this careless pasturing of bulls,
and to invoke the law if necessary
to protect pure-bred herds.
The Law
The law pertaining to this matter,
Sec. 172.01. of the Wisconsin statutes,
reads as follows:
'No stallion over one year old, nor
bull over six months old, nor boar
or ram, nor billy goat over four
months old shall run at large; and if
the owner or keeper shall, for any
reason, suffer any such animal so to
do he shall forfeit five dollars to the
person taking it up and be liable in
addition for all damages done by
such animal while so at large, al
though he escapes without the fault
of such owner or keeper; and the
construction of any fence enumerated
in section 1890 shall not relieve such
owner or keeper from liability for
any damage committed by an an
imal of the enumerated class upon
the inclosed premises of an adjoining
owner"

HUDSON LADIES STAGE
SPLENDID SHOW HERE

"The Old Peabody Pew was given
by the Methodist women of Hudson
Monday evening in the Methodist
church of River Falls.
The atmosphere created by the
quaint presentation of the char
acters was so informal one felt he
was not spectator but a partici-
pant in the action. Each act was
introduced by delightfully."- told pro-
logue by Mrs. Newton of Hudson.
AS each member of the Dorcas
Society entered the room she took
up her piece of carpet determined to
make the Tory Hill meeting house
the finest in the state.
Mrs. Burbank, the leader of the
group, inspired them to go on with
their hard and unappreciated work
and maintain the church which their
forefathers had attended.
Miss Lobelia Brewster, with her
quick repartee, proved that she was
mo lover of men," but a lover of
mankind.
The little romance centered around
Miss Nancy Wentworth and Justin
Peabody, the sole living claimant to
the Old Peabody Pew, was delight
fully enacted
The rest of the Dorcas society
were typical of the modern Ladies'
Aid Society, with their interest in the
church and their willingness to do
their utmost for its welfare no mat
ter how great the struggle.
The costumes represented the DAYS
of our grandmothers Dorcas So
cieties with their Paisley Shauls,
mutton leg sleeves, velvets and laces.
The characters were so well select
ed that each person made her own
character extremely life like.
1t was an unusual and very at
tractive play.

Evening

"Yimmie Yohnson's Yob," by Bel
denville talent, was playel to an
audience that packed the pavilion to
capacity last Saturday evening.
The young people of Beldenville
have the reputation of putting on I'M
usually good amateur plays, and this
one was no exception.
Burlin Bunce played the part of
"Yimmie johnson" to perfection and
Mrs. Archie Stewart, as Peg" the
Irish housekeeper, was a close
second as laugh getter.
Bernice Maier handled the ex-
ceedingly difficult role of Sylvia
in way that would have done
credit to a professional, and Arlene
Foss won all hearts as "Kittie," the
saucy housemaid.
Alice Hillson was her own sweet

forgot her vigorous youth and be-
came, for the occasion, the feeble,
broken-hearted "Miss Kent

"Mr. Kent" but we saw it with our

Frank was a crook of the deepest

Terry Snow as "Micky," the sup

cold chills run up our spines and
Phil Snow as "Pal," the detective

one Except "Frank") happy and
love reigning supreme as the curtain
fell.

Prof. Hunt Talks
To Old Settlers
Chooses As His Subject The For
ward March," and as His Slogan,
Hats OFF To The Past, Coats
OFF To The Future"

Professor w. H. Hunt of this city
delivered the principal address at the
st. Croix Valley Old Settlers associ-
alton annual picnic held in New
Richmond Tuesday. There was a
large attendance, and splendid pro-
gram was given.
The New Richmond News reports
Mr.. Hunts speech as follows:
There are many to whom any sec
ton of the country is but a bit of
territory, concrete and physical
3piece of property, but the real devel-
#opment of any community is embod-
led in the lives of it's pioneers.
'If you believe that polish and
fashion constitute character, then
you never could have been a pioneer.
But if you can go into the heart of
a forest and find peace and pleasure,
if you can eat your breakfast from
rock beside the stream, if the blaze
of autumn foliage is a panorama OF
beauty, then you could be pioneer.
"We meet today in the attitude of
retrospect. We are looking back
ward today for today is day of SEN
timent. Eighty years of develop
ment and accomplishment, eighty
years of progressive activity, eighty
years of pleasure and dissapoint-
ments, all of these years have made
you what you are.
Empire building and character
building go hand in hand. Hardship
overcome begets strength. Difficulties
met and conquered develop character
Sturdy character, rugged character
character that stands up in the face
of anything is not handed to us on
silver plate.
