RIVER FALLS NAMES

A contributor in "Lund's Messeng-
er," advertising pamphlet Of the A.
w. Lund Company, has composed the
following play on names which he
found in the River Falls directory:
Frequently one will say names do
not mean much" but in River Falls
we find names of people representing
a good many things.
With our warm weather, we have
with US Winter and snow and, as
usual Coal (Kohl) and Frost are
with us. Sum(n)er is not out done
by winter either for with it we have
first Spring, then May, June and
August. 1t is only natural that we
should also have Greens, Birds,
Roses and Thrushes, at this time.
Ordinarily when we speak of the
beautiful park and the zoo, we also
think of the variety of animals that
one sees there. However, without
the zoo we would still have Does,
Foxes, Bucks, etc.
Among the laborers in the city, we
find Fishers, Plummers, BARRIERS,
Hunters, Junkmans and Fidlers set

Scottish City Goes
Far Back in History

The city Of Glasgow, the metropolis
of Scotland, had its origin in the Sixth
century, when St Kentigern founded
a small religious establishment on the
banks Of a tiny stream which flows
into the Clyde at a point where the
Scottish city now stands
Christianity was then unknown in
that part Of Scotland, and Kentigern
was the first to introduce the faith
among the rude people inhabiting that
section. Beside the clearing in the
forest where lie built his home he
hung on tree bell which was rung
TO summon the savage inhabitants to
Worship, and thus it came about that
a tree with a bell appears on the arms
of Glasgow.
The saint had trouble later on with
the king of the Strathclyde Britons and
had to flee to Wales. Later he re-
turned, and after his death, at an adj
yanced age, was buried at the spot
where now stands the great cathedral
bearing his name.

As "Wiip' Would Say IT

Jones and jerks were arguing about
Shakespeare. Jones contended the
bard was a genius, and jerks scoffed
at 1t. Genius, nothing" he said.
"All he had was big vocabulary.
Anyone that applied himself to 1t
could duplicate Shakespeare's stuff. l
could do it myself" At that moment
two very bow-legged men turned the
corner and walked toward the dispu-
tants. Here's a chance to show how
good you are" said Jones. "How
would you describe those two fell
lows?" THAT'S easy" said jerks.
There's only one way to describe
theln; Shakespeare himself couldn't
say anything but Here come two bow
legged men, 1t was what Jones
was waiting for. "He couldn't, Ell?
Shakespeare would have said: 'Hol
What manner of men are these, with
legs that could serve as parentheses' ="

Spring Month Named
After Greek Goddess

Maia, the Greek goddess for whom
the Romans named the lovely spring
month, was the oldest of the Pleiades,
or seven daughters of ASlas and Gee
amid Pleione. She and her sister, who
were born on Mount Cyllene in Area
da, according to Greek mythology, are
sometimes called the goddesses Of the
mountains
Maia became the mother of Mercury,
and was greatly loved by the old Re-
mans, who, on the first day of May,
made sacrifices in her name. In Italy
she was known as Maa Mapesta, the
goddess of spring.
If you will watch the sky on a spring
evening, you win see the six stars
which form the Pleiades. The old
Greeks believed that Jupiter placed
Maia and her six sisters together in
the sky, and that they formed for a
long time IA group of seven. One day
Myrope married a mortal named Sissy
plus, WHO in some way displeased the
gods For punishment he was con
demned TO spend eternity rolling a
stone uphill, so that Myrope hid her
face from her sisters in sorrow and
shame. That is why we see but six Of
the daughters of Atlas shining in the
sky; for Myropes face is still CON
ceaIed behind one OF her sister stars

poor results of the past two sea-
sons. The condition of 80 per cent
is three points above the 5-year aver
age for this date in Wisconsin, and in
the entire Corn Belt the crop is like
wise above the average.

Haiti Will be
Viewed by Expert

Port-Au- Prince, Haiti-Desiring to
bring before the American public a
true picture of economic conditions
in Haiti, and the possibilities in an
agricultural way of its wonderful soil,
General Russell, the American High
Commissioner, made certain specific
Recommendations to Washington.
As a result E. Verne Richardson, of
the American consular service, was
assigned the task of making an ec-
onomic survey of the republic, and is
already at work.
While the productivity of Haiti's
soil is voguely known othe people of
the United States, few are aware that
100000 pounds of the finest coffee
are harvested annually from plants
growing in a wild state and that
amount represents less than two
thirds of the berries that could be
harvested by intelligent picking. Long
staple cotton nearly the equal of sea
island and superior to that grown in
the United States, flourishes in a wild
state and produces annually about
100000 pounds. Alligator pears
grow wild and they are large and
have an excellent flavor.
Haiti has the soil, climate and
cheap labor to produce vegetables for
the winter months to supply the east
coast of the United States; all it
needs is American capital and energy.

Gettle Condemns
Allotment Waiver

Madison, Wis. - The so-called "al-
lotment waiver" used in connection
with the sale of some stock was con-
the Wisconsin Railroad commission,
today as merely scheme to bludgean
customers into buying more shares.
The commission, at the same time,
refused an oil company permission to
use the allotment" which was includ-
ed in advertising submitted by the
company for the commissions approx
al. The company already had been
granted permit to sell the stock.
Commissioner Gettle explained the
scheme as follows: "a stakeholder
OF the company is approached and in
formed that he has the right to pur-
stock. Frequently he is told that some
large eastern concern wants to pur-
chase all the remaining stock, but that
the present stockholders are being CIV
en- first chance.
"All sorts of representations are
made to him to make him take more
stock, and if he has the courage to
resist the stock statesmen, then a piece
of paper is showed in front of him, and
he is told that if he does not take his
allotment, he must sign waiver for
ever giving up his right to that allot-
ment. This device, of course, is call
culated to make the stakeholder anx-
ious, and he begins to wonder wheth-
er he wants to sign away his rights
forever.
"There is no reason for the waiver
or the allotment rights release, or
whatever it is called, except that it is
handy device in the hands of high
pressure salesman. If a. person does
not want to subscribe for more stock,
he does not need to sign the waiver.
The signing does not make his refusal
any more effective"
Gettle warned investors to be care
full about signing on the dotted line.
Cases have occurred, he said, where the
signature on the waiver has been con-
verted by the stock salesman to sub
scription contract, and the victim has
found he has presumably signed note
in payment of additional stock.

Engineers Trying
to Save us Fuel

Dayton How can the threatened
gasoline shortage in the United States
be averted?
Experts for some time have feared
famine in auto fuel. Motor vehicles
and gasoline power machinery to-
gether with the converting Of coal
burning engines into oil burners, is
rapidly depicting the oil reserves.
Facing Problem.
The situation brings the motor We
hicle industry face to face with the
problem of obtaining more efficient
results from the fuel used.
1t is known that Is per cent of the
power in gas is utilized in the pres
ent method of operation.
"A gallon of gas contains enough
energy to run car 450 miles on
level paved road, if it were possible
to utilize all the energy in the gas,",
according to 7. A. Boyd, Dayton, O.,
an authority on fuel
Cracking Process.
Further development of the crack
ing process in the manufacture Is
seen By Boyd as one solution to the
problem.
AT present, however, much remains
to be done to bring this process to a
plane where it will not be too costly
to be practical.
Another, solution lies in the in
creased efficiency of engines in
which gasoline is used
If remedy could be found for
crankcase dilution, motorists would
save millions of dollars annually. and
big waste of oil and gasoline would
be averted.
Manufacturers now advise the
draining of the crankcase at stated
intervals, depending upon the unb
Der of miles the car has been driven.
Waste
Often this is waste of the oil, and
any gasoline, escaping into the oil,
condition that often makes drain
ing necessity, is waste.
Engineers are attempting to de-
sign an engine in which it will be
impossible for gasoline to become
mixed with the oil. Also, efforts are
being made to develop some easy
method of testing oil in the crank
case.
If every motorist could carry some
simple little devise by which he could
determine when his oil was unfit and
dangerous it would result in a great
saving in money and oil.
