A DEVELOPMENT IDEA

1t appears to be the opinion of
many that River Falls should acquire
the land adjacent to Glen Park on the
south-a portion of the Foster estate
and build up fair grounds. The
town is perfectly located to stage an
inter-county fair or stock show, as
the success OF the annual exhibit now
given here proves. With the park
adjacent an ideal arrangement could
be made at comparatively little ex-
pense, and the double advantages
thus offered would insure record at
tendance. Enclosed race track, ball
field and exhibition grounds would
give opportunity to promote athletic
affairs on a paying basis. River
Falls crowds donate literally to like
institutions in other towns; why
not give our neighbors an opportun-
ity to reciprocate?

Early NaUigators' Dared
Perils of Every Sort

1t is a little more than 400 years ago
since man made his first-known trip
around the globe. The first voyage
took three years, and they were years
of great privation and discomfort. The
early successful navigator was }. 5.
dei Cano, a Spaniard. He returned to
port on September 8, 1872. The expe-
tition numbered five vessels, and OF
the $50 pioneers who set sail only 81
returned-ragged and broken. One or
the objects of the adventure was to
test the theory that the earth was
round, and the ships took a westward
course to discover passage to the In
dies. Ferdinand Magellan, a Portu-
guese, after whom the straits are
named, was a leading spirit in the ex-
petition. When the task was almost
accomplished he and 40 others were
killed by natives in the Philippine is
lands. Only one ship, the Vittorla,
under del Cano, completed the Journey.

RAINIER & HANSON, INC.

After condemning Tie River Fails
Journal for assuring the public that
Mr.. Hunt has a perfect right to run
for the senate in this district, Mr..
Kramer in an article published in our
local contemporary goes on to de-
velop an impression that Hunts
election would "put him in position
to influence legislation to raising the
salaries of teachers of which he is
a member" Chose are Mr.. Ramer's
own words, as quoted from his arti-
cle-not ours).
To further quote Mr.. Ramer: "If
the nine Normal schools each sent a
member to the senate it would be a
powerful lobby within the senate for
favorable legislation for a limited
class"
Thus Mr.. Kramer theories and at
tempts to build up an impression
that the nine Normal schools are at
tempting to create legislative lob
by and that Mr.. Hunt is one of many
teachers now out to form this senate
clique.
Now for a cold, hard fact or two
that Mr.. Kramer carefully refrains
from even limiting.
Mr.. Hunt is the only Normal school
teacher now running for legislative
office in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Hunt would not be in a position
to influence legislation raising Nor
NAL school teachers salaries, or, in
fact increasing any Normal school
appropriations unless these were first
asked for in budget prepared, pas
sed and recommended by the Board
of Regents, of which Mr.. P. w.
Ramer is president. The legislature
is supposed to, and does, examine
this budget before passing upon it.
The Board of Regents naturally try
to have their recommendations pass
ed and it is, in our opinion signifi-
cant that the President of the Board

EVERY LIVE CITY!

In a recent issue of the Milwaukee
Journal the motor editor remarks
that on a trip through the state he
found that "every live city," with but
few exceptions, had adopted the ar
terial highway method of insuring
public safety. Since we started
"harping" on this matter many local
motorists have taken to the idea and
have gotten into the habit of observ-
ing the rules as though Main street
really was an arterial highway. But
visitors, and greater share of local
drivers, continue to rush onto the
street from all sides, and the menace

FATE OF THE 81;
CAMPAIGN FOR PROSPERITY
Prizes For Story Are Offered-JOur-
nal Will Run Series of Articles
On The Subject

Public spirited citizens of many
communities throughout the North
west and the st. Paul Dispatch and
Pioneer Press are joining in a CAM
paign for permanent prosperity that
is expected to be one of the most
constructive movements ever under
taken in the Northwest.
The idea for the campaign grew
out OF the now famous statue made
by Frederick Humphrey, "The Fate
of the Fifty-four."
The condition pictured by the
statue is not new. Economists tell
us that out of every hundred mon
starting out in the business world
together, fifty-four are dependent
upon their relatives or upon charity
at 65 years of age. Humphrey took
those cold, lifeless figures and put
them in the form of statue that tells
the story in way the average man
can understand.
Cooperating in the venture, bust
ness men of many towns have offered
special prizes for the best letters
written from their county or their
community.
Letters from the different COM
munities will be sent in to the St.
Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press to
participate in the thirty-three grand
prizes to be awarded by these papers
and then will be returned and judged
for the local community prizes.
Humphreys statue brings home
in striking way a condition in
American life that demands a
remedy.
Their schooling over, a hundred
men set out together. Each gets a
job and starts out with high hopes to
make his place in the world.
When they reach thirty five, ten of
those hundred men already are
wealthy. Ten more are well-to-do.
Five have died. All the others
seventy-fve- are self-supporting
Then we come to the final tragic
scene at sixty-fve. At this age thirty
six of the hundred are dead. Of
those who remain, one is rich and
three are well-off. Six are still work
ing for a living, and fifty-four are
dependent upon their children or upon
charity.
That is the story of a hundred
average men, the kind of men who
make up your community. They are
not just r-do-wells, but average
men, who had success within their
grasp and then lost it. Roger Bah
son says that ninety of these hundred
men made enough money between
thirty and fifty to live in luxury the
rest of their lives-but lost it.
Schools are partly to blame for
this condition. The average person
spends all the years of his education
learning things that may be helpful
in making money, but not one-half
hour is devoted to showing him how
to use his money when he gets it.
Parents, the community, business or
ganizations-al of us are to blame.
1t seems that all along the line We
have failed to impress the individual
with the value of money.
For all this neglect, the COM
munity pays. If hundred men in
this town are dependent, the rest of
US in one way or another must sup
port them. Thus the community as
well as the individual must be inter-
ested in solving the question sug-
gested by the stopped figure in Hum
phrey's statue, "The Fate of the
Fifty-four."

O.
Twenty-Five years ago, according to
The River Falls Journal files, there
was an epidemic" of carbolic acid
suicides throughout the country, and
in New York City ambulances were
permanently equipped with bot

A revival of that form of poisoning
