NATIONAL GUARD INSPECTION e

The National Guard Inspection last
Monday evening was success from
every angle. Three officers and
fifty-four enlisted men of the 10Th
Ammunition Train were present for
the inspection. The Inspecting Of
ficer, Col. William Reed, of the
Regular Army complimented the
members of the company on their
performance after he had completed
his inspection.
The company formed at 500 p. M,
and Col. Reed inspected each mem
Der of the company individually as to
personal appearance, knowledge of
the military courtesies, and along
practical military lines.
The inspection in ranks was fol-
lowed by about ten minutes close
order drill, after which the company
broke up into squads, each squad
giving demonstration of some diff
ferent activity, including guard duty,
first aid, and calisthenics.
Col. Reed then made a short talk
on the c. M. 7. C. which was fol-
lowed by another short period of
close order drill by the company
after which they were dismissed.
About one hundred fifty spectators
turned out to witness the inspection,
and all were well pleased with the
demonstration put on by the local
boys. Every member of the company
is to be complimented on the salts
factory showing made.

LICENSE SAVES FIDO
FROM BULLET DEATH

The town is over-run with dogs,
We ought to know as we have one
that does more than his share of
over-running. And Mayor Vannatta
and other City Fathers ought to
know, as they have been besieged
with complaints, and with requests
for permission to shoot certain and
sundry annoying CANNES, requests
made at all hours of the day and
night.
If this was the "Kaintucky" blue
ridge, where babes are taught to
sight their rifles over the cradles
edge to protect the family still or
promote the family feud, or if muir
der, as in Herrin, was routine
daily dozen, permits might be moro
readily and safely granted here, but
in the ordinary law-abiding city it IS
a dangerous grant.
The dog nuisance is evidently
general, and the following quotation
from the Wisconsin Farmer, ex-
planning the law regarding it, will
no doubt be of interest, if not quite
to the satisfaction, of many:
"There is no liability against any
one for shooting a dog which has
never been licensed and which is
found trespassing upon his land
If, however, the dog has been licensed
no one has right to shoot him I'M
less he is found worrying stock. In
that event he may be shot without
liability. You would be liable even
for shooting a dog which had no tag
if it should develop that he had been
properly licensed and had recently
lost his tag without the owners
knowledge"

HOSPITAL SHOULD BE
CITY'S OWN PRIDE

1t is the popular sentiment that
The Peoples Hospital, which has
been a source of great benefit and
pride to this community since its in
ception several years ago, should be-
come a municipal institution and be
free of the handicap and stigma of
charity dependence.
The adoption of the hospital by the
city will mean no appreciable addi-
ton in taxes in any case and with the
prestige of city backing should and
undoubtedly will be self-supporting.
A board, appointed by the City Coun-
ell, will be in full charge of its af-
fairs.
Voters who have the welfare of
their fellow citizens and Of the COM
munity as a whole at heart will vote
next Tuesday to make The Peoples
Hospital municipal institution.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO COMPETE
IN ANNUAL MUSIC CONTEST

The State High School Music Cen
test, which is to be conducted among
city and rural high schools again
this year by the University of Wis
consin, will open with preliminary
competitions in the various normal
schools on April "a.
Last year more than 600 contest
ants entered, and this year a larger

ments have been made to hold pre-
liminaries in more accessible localit-
les.
The normal schools at Oshkosh,
Whitewater, La Crosse, Platteville,
Stevens Point, River Falls, Superior,
Eau Claire and Milwaukee are now
preparing for preliminaries. River
Falls has already enrolled IA high
schools and is sending its quartet on
a concert tour to arouse interest in
the contest.

CHURCH PRESENTS GIFT TO
BELOVED RETIRING PASTOR

One hundred dollars in crisp new
bank notes was presented to Rev.
w. j. Gray and Mrs. Gray by mem
bers of the Congregational church on
Wednesday night at a farewell gath
ering in honor of the retiring pastor
and his wife. The gift came in a
real surprise to Rev. and Mrs. Gray,
and they were touched by the express
sion of love from their Pensioners.
Two hundred sat down to a ban
auet at $3.50 in the church parlors.
Two men served from opposite end
of each table, while Christian En-
deavor girls acted as mattresses.
Mrs. G.. F. LaPaul was chairman of
the banquet committee. Mrs. C. J.
Smith, president of the Ladies Aid
society, was her first assistant.
Each table held a centerpiece of
carnations and roses. At each place
was a souvenir poem, The Little
Gray Church on the Hill, the work of
Miss Ella Stratton. The toasts were
given in the auditorium, Mr. o. w.
Lundsten acting as POSTMASTER.
Miss Stratton responded to the toast,
The Past, and gave an intimate re-
view of the church's history in verse.
The Present was then outlined by c.,
A. Speedy. The Future was outlined
by Mr. Gray. The church must eX-
ist for the community, he said, and
its future depends upon its connec-
tion with the larger things in life.
H. H. Aspden gave the toast to the
honor guests and then presented
them with the purse as an expression
of the love and admiration of a CRATE
full people. Mr.. Gray responded with
feeling.
Resolutions from each department
were read: j. f. Gilman from the
church, c. M. Peck from the Sunday
school, Miss Stratton from the Aid
and Missionary societies, Miss Clar-
issa Wendt from the c. E. society
and 0. w. Lundsten from the trus-
tees.
A program was then given by the
Misses Ruth Barwdell and Bernice
Peterson, as follows: Song by class
of girls, Ruth Bardwell accompanist;
piano solo, Verna Hanson; recitation,
Gladys Robertson; piano solo, Garlic
ton Stenderson; song, Dorothy Hop
kins; reading, Helen Aspden; duet
Doris Dovenberg, Helen Lyons; du-
EFT, Ruth Bardwell, Bernice Peter
son. The program closed with the
hymn, "Blest be the e."-The
Minnetonka Record.

A $4,000 fishing rod and reel is on
exhibition at the Freeman Drug Co.
store-a solid gold reel mounted with
genuine topaz, and a split bamboo
fly rod with solid gold mountings,
ornamented with genuine topaz in The
butt end and in the ferrule plugs.
To local Waltonians who are al
ready perhaps braced for a rush to
purchase it we hurry to announce
that it is not for sale; it is merely
on exhibition.
The outfit was built for exhibition
purposes by the Abbey & Imbrie Co
Of New York, originally for the Cen
tennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in
1876. 1t has since been exhibited at
worlds fairs all over the world, and
at sporting goods stores throughout
the United States and Canada.

and the community is invited to call
and look it over; it is well worth in
spection.

AUX. PAPER SALE IN APRIL

Most all housekeepers, when they
are house-cleaning, wonder what to
do with all the papers and magazines
that have accumulated. The papers
and magazines may be of no further
use to you, but if placed in proper
hands can be used more.
The American Legion Auxiliary
will have a Paper Sale in April. They
will gather all old papers and maya
zines from anywhere in the commun-
ity and will sell the useless material
to a large Paper Company. Any
good reading material will be sorted
out to be sent to the soldiers at
Madison and Milwaukee Hospitals.
Anyone who has paper or maya
zines that they would like to let the
Auxiliary collect for these purposes.

Miss Tossing of River Falls, fur
nished music of an exceptionally high
grade for the Beldenville Commun-
ity Club Saturday evening, Mar. %.
After listening to her music, which
was of a descriptive variety, Mr..
Gilbertson's talk on "Ole Bull" was
particularly fitting.
Miss Helen Howe gave two read
ings which everyone enjoyed.

charts showing the trend of prices
over a long period of years. One
level-headed farmer remarked at the
close of the meeting, at was the

AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY

At the last meeting of the Auxil-
larry, the members began work on
some community sewing. Mrs. Daw-
son was there with her electric sew
ing machine and Miss Weberg of the
Normal D. S. Department was there
to aid in the planning and cutting. A
lot of work was accomplished and
that, which could not be finished that
night, was taken home by several
members. The business Of the meet
ing was taken care of while the
members worked.
What was accomplished that night
only shows what our Unit can do.
There is some work now that we can
do for the soldiers in the hospitals.
How many willing workers can come
out to the next meeting and lend US
new ideas and helping hands?
Spring is here. That means house
cleaning time. Most all housekeep-
ers have more or less of an ac-
emulation of papers and magazines.
All Auxiliary members are asked to
speak to friends and neighbors re-
questing them to save all their pap
ers and magazines for the Auxiliary
Paper Sale to come during April.
This is an easy way to make money
for our Unit. Let every member help
and at the next meeting turn in a
list of places where a supply Of pap
err can be secured.
The next Auxiliary meeting will
be held April 10. The Program as
well as the Rehabilitation or Work

FERRIS WHITE MAKES
TRIP TO TWIN CITIES

Atty. F. M. White, who has been
confined to his bed and in very
critical condition for the past FIVE
months, has so far improved that he
was able yesterday to make trip
to st. Paul.
The trip was made to afford Mr..
White an opportunity for an oper-
alton intended to relieve a pain
which he has been suffering in his
limbs.
Mayor Vannatta took Mr.. White
to st. Paul in his new car, with DR..
Gendron in charge of the patient.
Mr.. Whites wide circle of friends
are rejoiced to learn of his great i'm
provement III health, and all hope to
see him about town again soon.

MOUSE GNAWS MATCHES;
BLAZE RUINS CLOTHES

A mouse crawled into a pocket of
one of Herman Elertson's suits that
was hanging in closet, gnawed at
some matches and thereby started
blaze which not only ruined the suit
and some other clothes, but the
mouse as we'll.
Saturday evening Mrs. Elertson
opened a closet door at their suite in
the Meyer apartments and found the
clothing stored there all ablaze. Mr..
Elertson piled the burning fabrics in
the kitchen sink and turned on the
water.
Examining the ruined clothes
afterwards Mr.. and Mrs. Elertson
found in pocket a dead mouse and
a number of burned matches.
The culprit rodent had paid the
supreme penalty for his crime.
