Many Local Children
Examined At Special
During Two Days Here

Ninety children, from sixty homes
in River Falls and the surrounding
territory, were examined free of
charge at the Child Welfare Special
during its stand here Monday and
Tuesday this week, according to re-
cords kept by those in charge. Many
We're turned away because Of lack of
time for any more examinations, the
forty-fve each day forcing DR..
Stuessy, the physician in charge, and
Miss Doyle, the nurse, to rush the
work at top speed all the time.
The appointments were very even
ly distributed between city and
country children. sixty country
children and thirty city children be-
ing examined This is in approx
mately the same ratio as that of the
rural and city populations OF the
community.
No definite statistics are available
as yet regarding the results Of the
examinations. These will be tabu-
lated and published later. Many
children, however, were found to be
afflicted with goiter, diseased tom
sis and adenoids. Golfers were es-
pecially common. Very frequently
the parents of the children had no
idea that such conditions were pres
ent until the examination.
No attempt was made to treat
cases. The parents were almost in
variably referred to the family doc
tor when anything was found wrong
with the children. DR.. Stuessy did,
however, make numerous sugges-
tions as to the diet of various child
rem.
The Child Special was brought to
River Falls through the cooperation
of four local organizations: The
Home Culture Club, the Tuesday
Club, the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton, and the w. R. c., members of
which made all preliminary arrange
ments for the visit, and aided the
staff of the Special during its work
here.
The Cooperative Laundry also
helped materially by doing all of the
laundry work for the special free of
charge.
The next visit of the Special will
probably come in 1880, as it has to
visit every county in the state in ro-
tation.

NEW FORD PROJECT
MAY BOOM PRESCOTT

4 power dam across the Missis-
sippi river just below Prescott in
surfing navigation to the Twin Cities
is a new project now under contem-
plation.
Lake st. Croix would be raised 20
feet, and several new lakes of con-
siderable size would be formed along
the Mississippi.
A single-lock system at the dam
would admit boats which would then
have a 6-foot channel 800 feet wide
from Prescott to St. Paul, and the
raising of Lake st. Croix would also
provide ample water for freight
boating to Saltwater.
The proposed enterprise would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
600. More power could be generated
at this dam than at the Ford plants
high dam near Fl. Smelling.
The project is proposed by Twin
City organizations, with the idea OF
leasing the power to the Ford com
pany.

ern part of the state. The scenery
here is rugged and wild, command
ing splendid view of the Mississippi
and Wisconsin Valleys. Brule Park
and forest-land is in the heart of the
wooded country in northwestern Wis
consin, and includes 5000 acres lying
along the Brule River
Cushing Memorial Park, small

ands of people every year to view its
remarkable geological formations
and mountainous scenery.
Besides these properties the state
owns over 100000 acres of school
lands which have been protected

High Tribute Paid
Miss Addie Hunter

"A Life of Service" That was the
keynote to tributes paid to the late
Miss Addie Hunter by her pastor,
Rev. ]. o. Thrush and her former
pastor Rev. f. ]. Rulings at the ser
vices conducted in the Congregation
al church last Saturday afternoon.
Miss Hunters beautiful devotion
to her mother, her kindly considera-
ton of every friend, her faithful, eff
ficient and always cheerful service
in the post offce-evcry phase of
her entire career bespoke life of
service.
In developing their theme her pas
tors last Saturday had but to review
the items of her pathway through
life; as teacher in small Illinois
community, an employee in the post
office at Chebanse, H., for about
seven years and then in the River
Falls post office for the past eigh-
teen years, and all through these
periods devoted daughter and sis
ter, true friend and neighbor, help
full in the church and Sunday school,
and faithful public servant.
In concluding his tribute Rev. Mr..
IRidings pointed out the very fitting
and characteristic manner in which
Miss Hunters active life was closed,
the fatal affliction striking her after
she had spent an afternoon holiday
making the rounds of those of her
friends who were i'll, bringing them
words Of cheer and hope.
To none perhaps among her friends
does her passing strike deeper
blow than to those who have been as
ISOLATED with her IN the post office,
where her accurate knowledge of the
work and her ever willing assistance
and advice and sweet disposition
were a constant reliance.
We are glad Of the opportunity to
ttuu uCICWlCll q IIlDuLS IIOIl Il lOIIu-
er resident of this city and close
friend of Miss Hunter, Mrs. Hilma
Nelson Harris, of Hettinger, N. D.,
who sends the following verse:
Her kind is rare these days
Amidst the chaos, speed and strife
1t seems that more and more
The worlds in need of such a life.
She will be missed so much
SO silently she filled her place
She was so calm and kind
Performing tasks with skill and
grace.
And yet, our Father knows
We bend before his power and will
And he has called her home;
A higher place she has to fill.
And well she'll fill it,
That We know, for here on earth
She was indeed efficient
Still-Heaven alone will realize her
worth.
Hilma n. Harris.
