was not out very far in the pond,
nor was the water deep. Bawly
only laughed when lie fell into the
water.
Weezie and Wizzic did not like
it 50 much. Frogs are intended to
live in water at least half the time,
but rabbits aren t.
However whom WeeZie and WizZie
had dried their fur in the sun they
laughed a little and then Wizzie
said:
u know how we can play trick
on Uncle W;ggily with BawIy 5

"How?' asked Wcczic, always
ready for "a little mischief.
I've II find our new daddy and

the leaf won hold him and he II

"'Oh, that II be lots of fun
laughed Wcczie. Gwen 90 tell
Uncle Wiggily Daddy about the
boat he can ride on.
BY this time Bawly had swan
away to find his brother Bully. For
if he had been there he would not
have allowed trick like this to
be played ON Uncle Wiggily. But
Bawlv was gone, though there was
his big green leaf boat floating
near shore. And when Uncle Wig
gill hoped down to the edge OF
the pond, after Weczic and Wizzic
called him, and when the bunny
rabbit saw the leaf boat, the little
bunnics cried:
Jump on and have Il ride. Dad
dy Uncle Wiggily. Get on Bawly S
boat
Wishing to please the new little
buunies who had come to him with
his new wife, Uncle Wiggily jump
Cd on the leaf. Wizzic and Weczie
were all ready TO laugh, thinking
they would see their daddy tumble
into the water, but to their great

a raft, giving Uncle Wiggily a fine
ride.
"Ohl On" cried the mischicyi-

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BAWLY'S S
BOAT

Bawlv No Tail. the little frog
brother of Bully, was playing near
the edge of the pond, where Lulu,
Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble, the
duck children, padded around and
swan after school. Today there
was no school for Bawly the frog,
who had that odd name because he
used to make such a queer bawling
sound of crying when ho was Il
baby tadpolc.
Bawly was jumping from flat
stone into the duck pond with jolly
wet sPlashcs. After he was in he
would swim around and then crawl
out on a big, broad green lily flower
leaf or pad and sit blinking, his eyes
in tho sun.
Once when Bawlv crawled out on
a large lily pad it broke loose from
the long stem, which grew up from
the black mud at the bottom of the
pond. and the green, flat leaf went
floating along, with Bawly perched
on it.
Along the bank came running
Weezie, the little girl rabbit, and
behind her jumped her twin brother,
Wizzic. They were looking, for
something to do to have fun, for
they did not have to go to school
and when they saw Bawlv floating
on his leaf the little rabbits cried:
"Oh, Bawly. YOU have green
boat, haven t youo''
"Why. yes; YOU might call it a
boat croakcd the frog boy.
May we come on and have 4
rida'' asked Weezie. And before
Bawly could say anything the two
little rabbits had jumped from the
bank and landed on Bawlv's leaf
boat But no sooner had they done
this than the leaf, not intended to
carry so many, crumbled up and
into the water splashed Bawly,
Weezie and Wizzie.
"Oh. IN all wet" cried Weezie.

Wizzie. Then they splashed their

Saturday Blaze Wrecks
Halls Printing Plant

The plant Of the Ellsworth
Record" located at East Ellsworth,
was Quilted by fire about noon last
Saturday.
Editor Oscar A. Halls was alone in
the building, operating the linotype
machine when he noticed smoke is
suing from the front office. Upon
opening the door he was greeted
with furnace blast Of flame which
drove him from the building and
within a few minutes spread to all
parts Of the shop.
The fire department arrived
promptly and soon had the blaze ex
tinguished, but the entire interior as
well as the front walls and part of
the roof had been destroyed,
Although the contents of the shop
were pretty well covered by insur-
ance, the loss includes the Record
files for the past twenty-six years
and other valuable items which can
not be replaced. MIR. Halls had just
completed several job printing
orders and had them ready for de-
livery when the fire broke out and
destroyed not only the finished work,
but the forms from which they were
printed. He had just purchased
new overcoat which was destroyed
before he could rescue it from be-
hind the office door.
Mr.. Halls announced Saturday
afternoon that he planned to con-
tinue the Record" in temporary
quarters until he can rebuild on the
old site. He believes that much of
machinery in the burned shop can be
overhauled for further services, but
some will have to be replaced with
new.
The printing fraternity sympa
thize with Bro. Halls in his mis-
fortune and those of the neighbor
hood have volunteered whatever aid
their shops can lend to Insure unin-
terrupted service to Record" pat
rons.

SERVICE MEN RECEIVE
THEIR INSURANCE POLICIES

World War service men who filed
their compensation blanks early have
been receiving their insurance poll
icies.
The Journal wishes to correct the
impression that it is now too late for
service men to file their applications.
and to urge all who have not done SO
to do it at once.
Benificiaries will lose big share
of the benefits provided in this bonus
if the service man should die before
filing an application.
Officers of the River Falls Ameri-
can Legion Post will assist ex-service
men in making out their bonus APP
plications if desired. This service,
and blanks, are available at the
Postoffice or the First Natiotal bank.
The service is absolutely free.
The treasury has mapped out its
financial program for meeting the
requirements of the soldier bonus
and has made it's first deposit $780,
O,O00--in a special account from
which the adjusted certificates will
be paid.
1t is the plan to add each year a
similar amount under the law to
this special account and this sum,
with its interest compounded annu-
ally at per cent, is calculated to be
sufficient to meet all payments on the
service certificates when they ma
ture 20 years hence. Provision is
made whereby the fund is equipped
from this state to meet such matur-
ing certificates as may be due as a
result of deaths of benefciaries ard
the addition to the fund is expected
to be able to care for the gradually
increasing maturities of the future
years.

First Title Game
At Normal Friday

The River Falls Normal basket
ball team will official. open the sea
son here Friday night when Coacl.
Eggebrecht sends his cagers against
the strong Superior team. Many
lovers Of the indoor sport viii wit
ness for the first time the Normal
team in action, as all our games be-
fore the holidays were played on
foreign floors. Inasmuch as this Is
our first conference game a monster
crowd will be on hand to give the
team a much needed backing to keep
them in the conference running. The
Northerners are coming here with q
very formidable aggregation, and as
it is their first conference game,
they hope to take the measure Of the
locals. Several other Normals play
their first conference games the same
night.
A very interesting game was play
ed in the Normal gym Saturday
night between the Normal five and
the All-Stars. The All-Stars won,
81 to 81.
The All-Stars were true to their
name and demonstrated that this in
stitution had some real representa-
tive teams in by-gone days. Our
fellows put up feeble exhibition OF
basket ball and at times looked
rather mediocre. Only a few times
during the game did they work the
ball down in machine-like fashion.
Their passing and shooting was en-
tirely off color. Cleberg, however,
showed up in good form and proved
the high score man of the game
with four field goals and FIVE out of
seven shots via the foul route.
O'Malley and the two Dawson's got
into the game also, but the All-Stars
had them buffaloed.

Legion Auxiliary
Plans Active Year

The A. H. Fletcher Auxiliary Unit
Of Post 121 has begun the new year,
1925, in the very best way known,
namely, to obtain as members all
who are eligible to the Auxiliary in
this community. All mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters of Legion men
are eligible to this great organiza-
ton
There may be some who would like
to know just what we are organized
for and what we have done in the
past year or so. Our organization
is a helping hand to the American
Legion. The past year, our unit here
has accomplished several things with
good success. The Auxiliary fur
nished the congoleum rugs for the
Legion Club rooms, also the drapes
for the windows. They purchased
the dishes, silverware, linen and
range and kitchen utensils. They
paid for some much needed carpen-
ter work done in the rooms. Out
side of this work the Auxiliary paid
for 2 bathrobes to be made for
soldiers in hospitals. The 1924
Poppy Sale was big success, due to
the hard, earnest work of Mrs Daw-
son and her committee. The pro-
ceeds were over $4,000, part Of
which went to aid the disabled
soldiers in the hospitals. They also
contributed to the Christmas cheer
Fund and sent box of food to a
Soldiers Hospital. Last Christmas
they helped the Legion make Christ
mas happier for several families in
our city.
This new year, there are 8 big
head lines of work; LIST is the mem
bership campaign, End and 3rd are
the National duties for the Soldier
Endowment and Child Welfare
work. Our unit here has begun work
on the membership drive and are in
hopes to get in touch with all eligible
women in the community. We hope
to more than double our present en-
rollment and trust all who are ell
igible will help US. The work on the
Soldier Endowment and in Child Well
fare will be mapped out for US dur
ing the year by our higher officers.
We trust this new year will be the
the best in the history Of the Legion
Auxiliary unit Of this city and that
we will have the hearty cooperation
Of the community in all our endeav-
ors.

LOCAL RADIO RACKET
NOT FROM VIBRATOR

In a test conducted by the A. w.
Lund Co. and DR.. P. H. Manske it
was proven that the vibrator so often
given credit for the loud radio in
reference is not actually the cause.
Three parties situated in three d.
rections from the machine were call
led to tune in their sets to discover
if the familiar racket" would be
heard when the machine was turned
en-. None of these parties was able
to hear any undue noise.
Needless to say the noise SO COM
mon at some times is disagreeable
and this is only the beginning of
tests that will help River Falls to
suffer less from local interference.

Talks On Cooperation
At ElmWoOd Meeting
.mwood. Addressing the Pierce


mtg Livestock Shippers Associa-
smn at Elmwood on Tuesday after
noon. December 80, Edward Nord-
man, Commissioner of Markets took
as his subject Organization and
Golden Rule"
Mr. Nordman stated that organi-
cation was undoubtedly the means
through which improvement in the
social and economic conditions Of the
community would have to be made.
Individualisrn, he said, when carried
to extremes means savagery. Or
ganization and cooperation on the
other hand make it possible to ac-
complish great things for human adj
vancement. However, said Mr..
Nordman, organization has not all
ways been used wisely or for good
purposes and sometimes it has been
used selfisnly and for very bad pur-
poses. A case in point, is organiza-
tion FOR carrying on war and another
for securing unjust advantages for
the organized group or for its mem
beers. 1t is indeed within the truth to
say that thus far in the experience
of the world, organization has been
in bad way quite often as it has
in peaceful benefcent way. Even
vet organization is thought of by
farmers and workingmen as means
Of protecting their interests against
predatory wealth. 1t is also not I'M
usual for one set of business men to
organize for protection against an
other set of business men. This sort
or thing might have been justified in
Corner periods Of the worlds history
but it is not justified now. People
should organize in this day and age
to cooperate and not to fight.
Organization for peaceful and con-
structive purposes will change So
Getty from state of warning BUSH
ness and industrial factions to a con-
tiition that seeks to apply the golden
rule to the work-a-day world, and
there is no question about there be-
ing plenty of room in the world for
that kind of organization. With the
enormous increase in production re-
sulting from technical improvements
and inventions we can, through or
ganization, accomplish great deal
in trying to put our economic system
on the solid foundation Of prosperity,
provided we realize the fact that
good markets for the products of
farm and factory are dependent on a
just distribution of wealth, which
presupposes a compensation for the
producers based on, and equivalent
To service rendered.
Neither is it possible for farmers
az a class to ever pull themselves
out Of their financial difficulties 50
long as they continue to be burdened
with interest charges on inflated and
fictitious values and 9th taxes that
the recipients Of unearned income
should pay. But organized effort,
when directed along investigational
and constructive lines, will find the
solution for these and all other basic
questions. The sooner, therefore,
that we organize and the more effec-
lively, through organized effort. we
apply the golden rule to our indus
trial and our trade relations, the
sooner will farmers and all other
primary producers get what they
have coming to them.
