DICKSON HALTS PETITION City Should Choose Paving, Not Citi.
 zens, Commissioner Saws

Commissioner ". E. Dickson of pub lie improvements objected to a resolu- ton submitted the city commission Tuesday morning for the paving of Avenue B from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-Fifth streets. on the grounds that the petition specified bitulithic pavement on a concrete base, arguing that property owners were incompetent to determine the kindeof paving that should be used since they were influ- enced in their preference by claims of agents and travelling snlesmen. Dickson said the kind of pavement should be determined by the commission itself. on recommendations from the city engi- neer, in his own department. The com mission refused to act on the petition for the Avenue B paving and referred 1t to Dickson for report.

Beldenville Club

A crowd that comfortably filled the
church listened to a well balanced
program at the Beldenville Commur-
ity Club Saturday evening.
Miss Cecilia Plourde furnished US
with some fine music. Miss Dora
Husfoen put our digestive organs in
good shape with some comic read
ipgs.
Mr.. C. f. Hanson talked on "The
New Auto License Law and it's Re-
lation to Road Building" Mr.. Han
sen covered thoroughly the cost of
road building, where the money
comes from and how it is apportioned.
Before he got through most of us
discovered that on the subject of road
Luilding and maintenance we had
that "little knowledge" that is such a
dangerous thing.
At the close Of the program an
oyster supper was served in honor
of the Judging team, which consisted
Of John Smith, Terry Snow and
Elwood Eaton. The Club also pre-
scented each of the boys with a box
Of candy.
We noticed number Of members
Of other clubs in the audience. You
were very welcome. Come again.

Large Barn Burns
On Simpson Farm

All the countryside north of town
was brightly illuminated early Sat-
urday evening from livid glow of
flames which consumed large barn
ON the Simpson farm, mile north of
the city.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
as no one had been in the upper part
of the building, where the flames
first made their appearance, since the
middle of the afternoon, and there
had been no lanterns used or anyone
smoking in the barn all day.
Last summer the structure had
been entirely rebuilt, and was prac
tically new throughout. Insuranc
will partially cover the loss, but will
not include many articles of machin-
cry, harness, grain, etc.
All livestock, with the exception
of one calf, was rescued, and through
heroic work of the River Falls Fire
Department and others who assisted,
all adjacent buildings We're saved, in
spite of the fact that falling embers
kept the roofs constantly on fire
while the big barn blaze was at its
heighth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Simpson, who
are occupying the farm, have asked
The Journal to express their SINGERS
gratitude to the River Falls Fire De-
partment and to the others who rend-
cred such splendid aid during the fire,
and to assure them all that their
services were deeply appreciated.
The alarm was sounded at the
City Hall and two of the fire trucks
responded, their presence accounting
for the fact that none of the other
buildings on the farm were destroy
ed.

CANTATA is APPRECIATED

Many who heard "Queen Esther"
at the Normal auditorium last Tues
day evening had heard it two or three
times before. Many favorable COM
ments and comparisons were made.
Mr.. Geere did an excellent piece OF
work in training the cast. Not only
was Mr.. Geere director of the cam
tata, but he took the part of King
Ahasuerus. The school and commun-
ity are very fortunate in having a
man of Mr.. Geere's ability.
The cast throughout was strong.
Mrs. j. H. Ames, who represented
Queen Esther, sang unusually well.
Mr.. G. M. r. Smart's clear teno'
voice and dramatic action made the
character of Mordecai of more than
usual interest. One of the most
touching scenes Of the cantata was
that in which Mr.. Bird (Haman) and
Mrs. M. A. Shepard (Zeresh) sang
Farewell, the Hour is Come" The
parts taken by Mrs. Seton, MARI
Dittes, Avery Ames, Margaret Egg
dahl, Rexford Mitchell, and Mr..
Walter Chapman are worthy Of
special mention. Much praise is due
the Normal Glee Clubs for the chorus
work.
The musical entertainment was en-
ioyed by all who heard it. 1t is hoped
that the Mcdowell Club AM
Normal Glee Clubs viii give another
program Of this kind next year.
