American Legion Auxiliary
Will Remember
Ill Ex-SerViCe Men

The American Legion Auxlllary OF
Wisconsin is making preparations to
remember every i'll ev-service man OF
the state at Christmas time, whether
he is hospitalized in Wisconsin or IN
any other state in the union and the
desire Of the society to increase Its
membership to include every woman
who is eligible.
The three great hospitals in the
state where men who served in the
World War are cared for, National
Home at Milwaukee, Resthaven at
Waukegha and Memorial Hospital at
Mendoza are each to have Christ
mas tree with all the glitter and
sparkle it is possible to provide, and
gifts and smokes" for each man.
A real Christmas box containing
candy, sailed nuts, a gift and other
items, wrapped in the true Christ
masy" style and containing a personal
greeting from the American Legion
AuxiE airy is to be sent every Wiscon-
sin man whether he is in hospital
in Maine or in Florida.
The fund which right now is being
collected from the Auxiliary organi-
cations in the state for this purpose
is called the Christmas Cheer fund.
The local unit has sent its check for
the fund.
The task of raising money enough
to remember every i'll exservice man
has reached such greet proportions
that the Legion has generously offer
ed to share in the expense.
This personal method Of saying
Merry Christmas" to every service
man in the hospitals is but one phase
Of the rehabilitation work which the
American Legion Auxiliary carries on
every day in the year. Providing
bathrobes, sleeping caps, bed slippers
reading lamps, various amusements
and games, Victrelas and printing
press for one of the hospitals are
lust few of the things which the
Auxiliary purchases for the hospitals
1t aids the ex-service man who is not
hospitalized by loaning him money
without interest when he is in need,
by caring for his family when he Is
i'll, and by being Of service whenever
it is poss he.
Enurine ito We the Red Cross was
rightly called the Legion of Mercy;
now it is the American Legion
Auxiliary, as the co-workers of the
American Legion, which has taken up
the task where the Red Cross has
left it, and is earnestly attempting to
bind up the wounds of war" which
today are causing nearly as much
suffering as they did seven years ago
and which continue to cause suffering
and anguish for many years to come.

BAND PLANS PROGRAM
FOR NEW YEARS NIGHT
The River Falls City Band To
Give Fine Program

Since closing its season in the lat
ter part of October, The River Falls
City band has held regular weekly
rehearsals under the direction of G.
A. Smith and has been making fine
progress working up to series Of
entertainments, the first of which will
be given in the Armory on New Years
night, Jan. i.
While the band is asking the whole
hearted support of the public in these
entertainments, and while the mem
bers feel that the time they have de-
voted to the public deserves this sup
port, yet the organization is not ask
ing for a donation and those who pa
tronize the entertainments will re-
ceive more than the worth of the
money which they spend for admis-
sion. In other words, the public will
be given some real enjoyment and at
the same time help a worthy cause.

Every farmer, merchant and pro,
fessional man. and every youngster
who is interested in farm life, should
be in River Falls next Tuesday,
December Is, To attend the opening of
what is destined to be new and great
era in the pure bred stock raising in
dustry, not only in these two counties,
but perhaps throughout the state and
in many other sections of the country
For the first time in the history OF
the United States group Of business
men, twenty merchants of River Falls,
are to purchase and place with young
farmers of the two counties some of
the very best pure bred stock pur-
chasable.
Each business man has purchased
one pure bred heifer, and these heifers
bred to highest type pure bred sires,
are to freshen in from 80 to 80 days.
These heifers are to be given on a
share basis to twenty farmer boys on
farms where there are no pure bred
animals now. The boys will become
members of the Junior Boys and
Girls Club and will have the assist
ance of their County Agents in
handling and caring for the cows.
The plan is to develop in three
years twenty more converts to pure
bred stock raising.
Next Tuesday afternoon the heifers
will be awarded to the lucky boys, and
there will be parade of the stock,
after which nationally known speak
ers will deliver appropriate addresses
in the National Guard Armory.
The program viii be worth coming
miles in any kind of weather to at
tend. Every farm paper that circu~
lates in this territory and every lead
ing daily paper of the Northwest will
have special staff reporters on hand to
write up the affair and to get pictures
for feature articles.
Following is the program for the
day:
1900 a. REPRESENTATION Of the
cattle to the boys, and parade.

and their fathers. Address by leader
of the State Boys and Girls Club.
1880 p m.-Dairy Speaker. at the
Armory.
2:30 p. m.-Auction of several high
class pure bred bulls.
The city will be full of visitors, and
the talk VII all be of pure bred stock
raising, an exchange of experiences
and opinions that will be of value TO
everyone
The reporters and photographers
from the Northwest's greatest publi-
cations will be on hand to get the
story; be on hand to do your part in
showing them that this community is
enthusiastically behind this great
movement The more enthusiasm the
community shows, the more en-
thusiasm will be reflected in the pub
licity and the greater the fame of this
community as leader in pure bred
stock raising.

ELGIN, ILL.,. Oct. S.-Prohibition

mittee of the Rock River conference
of the Methodist Church in session
here, declared in it's annual report

A warm debate is anticipated on
the floor of the conference before
the report is adopted or rejected.
"The bootleggers and beer barons
are not entirely to blame for the
failure of enforcement" the report
declared. THE clergy is as much
to blame as any one. The clergy
has been asleep at the post.
"Our reply to the charge that pro-

ton has not been tried.

prohibition must face the bitter fact
, that we have idled at our posts
while the enemies of prohibition
