GREAT CHANGE SEEN
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

The change in the past twenty
FIVE years of the conditions in Wis
consin is almost unbelievable.
twenty-five years ago, one county OF
northern Wisconsin covering an area
of 900 square miles with popula-
ton of $500 had a vast wealth in
standing forest, that today the
younger generation can hardly APP
preciate.
Pine amounting to 400,000,000 feet;
hemlock to 100000 board feet;
spruce, balsam and poplar amounting
to 125,000,000 cords; birch 450, 000.-
900; oak 100000 feet; maple 1907
100000 feet; elm 175,G00,000 feet;
cedar for posts and poles 1000 900
feet. Add these together and that
single county of 900 square miles
possessed more standing timber than
there is now left in the thirty coun-
ties Of northern Wisconsin.
One can hardly conceive what a
change twenty-five years have
brought about. The dairy interest
has been increasing during this per-
iod until today this industry brings
into the state some $250,000, goo
yearly.
A new industry is now arising and
that of recreation. In 1922 the for
eign automobiles brought into the
state of Wisconsin between twenty
five and thirty millions Of dollars.
This business was increased in 1923
to about $60,000,000 while in 1924,
$9G,000,G00 was spent by people of
other states in Wisconsin. The High
way Commission prophesies that the
foreign automobile traffic has ex-
ceeded that of 1924. If this proves
to be true after they have compiled
the various road census which have
been taken during the past season,
no doubt the foreign traffic which
visited Wisconsin the past season
will amount to over 100000.
This does not say anything about the
number of people from Chicago and
various other cities throughout the
Mississippi Valley that was carried
by the various railroads entering the
state.
The Wisconsin, The Land o. Lakes,
Inc has played an active part in
helping to increase this enormous
business. They will hold the annual
meeting in the city of Wausau on
October IA at the Wausau Club and
they are extending an invitation 70
every citizen who believes in the flu
ture of the tourist business as a
means of developing our state.

DOES YOUR CHILD
HAVE MUSICAL TALENT

Does your child have musical
taIent?' is an important question for
parents. 1t is the purpose of Miss
Wharton to help paI ents answer that
question by means of her Miessner
Melody Way piano classes which will
be started Nov. at the Normal
School.
W. Otto Miessner, author of this
method, desiring to give every child
in America chance in music, has in
troduced this missionary movement
into hundreds of cities all over the
United States, by which children may
learn to play the piano without an
instrument at home for the elemen-
airy work.
Twenty children are taught in a
class and this group study increases
the interest. Boys especially like to
take piano lessons if they arc in
class with all the boys in the neigh
borhood
Miss Wharton has made a
thorough study of the Melody Way
Method, and holds a certificate from
Mr.. Meissner, authorizing her to
teach classes in the method.

Great Game Promised
For Local NOrmaI'S
Homecoming Saturday

Next Saturday, October II. is
Homecoming Day for the River
Falls normal school, and the main
event on the program is the annual
grid classic with Stout Institute
Last week the Trainers held the
powerful La Crosse normal eleven to
scoreless tie en- the latter's home
field, and scouts report either team as
of more formidable appearance than
Eau Claire.
The Red White marred the fes-
Invites of Eau Claire's Homecoming
Day last Saturday by trimming Ger
ber's hopefuls 6 to 0. 1t was a
costly victory for the Falls, however.
as Rademscher was taken out with
broken leg and Helwig, who replaced
him at left end was in bat few
moments before be had an elbow dis
located.
River Falls started the game with
. fierce offensive which completely
haffled Eau Claire. The two Daw-
sons and Quandt, behind perfect in
reference, tore through for eight
and ten yard gains, Quandt dodg1ng
through the entire outfit the final
20 yards for touchdown,
This, however, was destined to be
the only tally of the game, although
the Red & White kept the BAH in Eau
Claire territory practically all of the
time, Penalties, aggregating 90
yards in the first half alone, were
largely instrumental in depriving the
Falls of at least two more touch
downs.
In the final quarter Ingli and Glib
son both attempted drop kicks, Glib
by's missing the goal by inches, while
Pats try barely left the ground.
Eau Claire was held in her own
territory too far to try the passing
game very much, but, in desperation
took few chances, one or two of
which We're completed, and as many
We're intercepted.
Since these two schools opened ath-
letic relations in 1919 River Falls has
won four grid games and lost one
with Eau Claire, and one game ended
a scoteless tie. But the games have
always been close, and up to last
Saturday the total scores were even
at 80, this game giving the Falls
lead of six points-36 to 80 in the six
games they have played against each
other
the record is as follows:
l919-River Falls Z, Eau Claire
l920-No game
1921-River Falls 10, Eau Claire 81
1922-River Falls Q, Eau Claire 3
1923-River Fails 7, Eau Claire 3
