PARK is CROWDED
FOR BAND CONCERT

The concert given by the bands of
River Falls, Ellsworth and Elmwood,
given here last Sunday, was attend
ed by an audience which in numbers
rivaled, and by some estimates sur
passed the Izaak Walton League at
tendance of the week before.
Most of the crowd arrived early
and spent the day. Every available
bit of parking space was utilized,
and almost every foot of ground in
the upper park was spread for pic
mic lunches at noon.
The bands rendered splendid music
and everyone enjoyed each selection
immensely, as was indicated in the
liberal response to the collection
solicited for the River Falls band
fund. About 5000 was collected in
this manner and as profits from the
ice cream stand conducted by the
band.

RAINBOW
SEEN LAST NIGHT

There was lots of moonshine last
night, the real Luna brand that is
not even one-tenth of one per cent
intoxicating except in the mushy
chapters of fiction, but despite its
lack Of kick there are many who
claim that it produced a rainbow in
the eastern skies.
Throughout the night there were
frequent showers from solitary
clouds which, black and heavy, drift
ed singly or in pairs across the sky,
and the brilliant half-moon, shining
through the mists, created pale
white rainbow, entirely devoid of
color but perfect in shape.
The description is from that of al
legged witnesses, but whether the
rainbow was real or inspired by one
brand Of moonshine or another we
cannot vouch for first-hand.

CATCH SWIMMING BADGER
FOR GLEN PARK zoo

The Park Board has long deplored
the fact that it hadn't another
badger for the zoo, and it remained
for George M. R. Smart to fish one
out of the Mississippi river Saturday
and bring it to cage with the Parks
old settler.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smart were in their
out-board motor boat on the Missis-
sippi near Prescott Saturday after
noon when they spied what at first
looked like a monster fish skimming
just under the surface. On futher
investigation they discovered that
it was badger, evidently swimming
from one shore to the other.
They manoeuyred into position so
that Mr.. Smart was able to grasp it
by the tail and hold it suspended and
half submerged until ropes could be
fastened to its front and rear and
thus the animal, snarling, squealing
and fighting, was brought to shore
and thence home to River Falls.
Placed in the cage with Mr.
Konicheck's pet, the wild badger inn
mediately dug itself in. Discovering
the wire netting deep under the. sod
floor the terrified animal would
come back to the surface and dig in
again, until Sunday the cage looked
as though whole pen-full of hogs
had conducted roofing tournament
there.
The two badgers have made no at
tempt to get acquainted with each
other as yet, the wild one staying
under ground, while the OF settler
remains ( the mouth of his barrel,
always alert to receive the other,
but more especially alert for Park
Custodian Konicheck, who brings out
the zoo meals and always spends a
few minutes playing with the tame
badger
1t is expected that the two badgers
will soon become friendly, and that
10th will spend most of their time
above ground where park visitors
may watch their antics.

GASOLINE TAX LAW
is MARKED SUCCESS

Over a million and a quarter dol
lars has now been collected under
Wisconsin's new gasoline tax law.
Figures made public by state treas
urer Solomon Lcvitan today show
that collections for the month Of
June to date total S499, O65.S6 bring

600. 1t is expected the returns still
to come in will swell June collections
well over the half million mark.
Wisconsin's gas tax is operating
smoothly and is bringing in to the
treasury for the construction and
.maintainance of our splendid system
of state highways nearly half
million dollars a month But few
people perhaps realize the stupen-

STATE RETALIATES in
TRUCK LICENSE WAR

Auto License Inspector Dixon was
in River Falls last Thursday and
while here singled out whatever
Minnesota trucks were in operation
thru town and forced the owners to
come through with the state fee.
Two years ago the Warren S.
Oligney truck line protested the pay
nent of the Minnesota fee in the
Gopher courts, but his protest was
over ruled and the full license fee de-
r1anded Of him. Since then Wiscon-
sir has retaliated by demanding a
fee from Gopher trucks which come
into this state.
One Jewish peddler held here last
Thursday disclaimed ownership of
the truck and called up his alleged
"boss' in the Twin Cities. The
''5oss,' it is reported, demonstrated
with the Inspector and declared that
If the driver was held another would
be sent to drive the truck out of the
state. The Inspector, according to
the story, invited the 'boss" to send
as many drivers as he pleased,
there'd be jail room for all Of them
until the license fee was paid The
owner Compromised by paying the
full fee.
Minnesota truck operators thought
the Oligney decision in their courts
was a splendid thing and great joke
on the Badgers, but they are putting
up an awful squeal when Wisconsin
gives them the same<dose.
