Millions Of Idle Money

TAere are. 1t IL estimated by the
aetuary Of the United States treas
ury, something more than 5000
misers in this country, who are hoard
ing and keeping out OF circulation
more than $4OO.O00.OO0. none Of which
is earning a dollar.
Contrast the nsiserly waste Of money
with the good which ID being done
with the $6S1.OOO,OOO owned by the
eS leading colleges Of the United
States.
From their investments these col
legeS derive an annual income Of
about $2T,0OO,O00. Assuming that the
smaller colleges not included in this
list of SO larger centers Of education
have an annual income OF only $18,-
100000 from their invested funds, we
arrive at the annual educational fund
Of @AO,O0O,OOO. This divided among
the $4,000 students Of both sexes in
all the universities and colleges allows
about $1O6 a year per student.
BY making this money work, still
other contributions are made to the

us to be rather far-fetched. Assum-

A business man. a pOulterer, was
in the habit of making claims on all
bills Sometimes these claims were
just, usually they were unjust; at
any rate, by his generous use OF
them he got q discount on every pur-
chase of 4 to 5 per cent.
Well, one Thanksgiving season this
tricky business man received a dozen
barrels of dressed turkeys from q
Western dealer. Heretofore he had
bought live turkeys from the dealer.
Hence, now, he make the grievous
error of writing and claiming for six
birds that had sickened in the transit
and had reached his storehouse dead.
The Western dealer replied to that
claim rs follows:
@Dear Sir: We regret to say we
find 1T impossible to allow claim put
forward In yours Of oath inst We
have established a rule that all
customers desiring live dressed
turkeys must notify us Of same in
advance. 30 that we may. ship birds
in cars specially steam-heated.
Turkeys without their feathers
and insides are liable to contract
pneumonia If shipped in ordinary
way in refrigerator cars. The NOR.
tally among dressed turkeys was
very pronounced this year. Yours

The Earmar,a Income

Just how much does the average
farmer make? The answer 80 th1s
puzzling question has been long sought
by agricultural experts, since it is the
ultimate test Of all systems Of farm
management. 1t is simple enough to
calculate the cash profits received in
the course Of the year, but these do
not cas- the farmers success.
The farm supplies him with much be-
sides money-with food, shelter and
fuel. For these things the city worker
has to pay out a large part Of his
wages. They must, therefore, be In
cluded In any just estimate of the
farmers income. In other words, the
city worker is paid entirely in cash,
the farmer partly in cash, partly d.
fectly In the necessities Of life.
To obtain fuller knowledge of the
value Of this direct contribution from
the farm the department has recently
concluded an investigation which in
cluded 438 farm families divided

partment Of Agriculture Farmers Bull

that on these farms the cost of main

This was hardwarel "A Mttls bit
! Of fifty million little bits Of III"
Dan said to himself, grimly, after he
had worked a while, picking out the
tiny pin-tacks that stuck in his finger
ends, 10 that he had nc trouble In
J finding them, but was able to pick
them out laboriously, n BY one, set
ting the brass screws In another pile
as he picked them out.
"Myi but It'll take me a yearl" he
said to, himself wiping his forehead,
which was wet and glowing In his
| effort to make haste and do what
I the others had failed on. "Tll do 1t.
too, If 1t does take It," he said dog
| gedly, remembering fathers motto
with wit and will"-@that wal what
mother said. He never gave up, and
won't. / will do It'll will, see 4
don'tI"
And he fell to work again. Sud
denly he stopped. and stuck his head
on one side and whistled softly.
1See here, sonny, that don't get
the. screws outi" admonished the
head clerk, and Dan took his hands
out Of his pocket, blushing deeply.
But hez1gonly stepped over to q
confer where he had seen some
magnets, and picked out a good-sized
horseshoe" Then he came back
and deliberately poured out the boxful
upor a big sheet Of brown paper IN
top Of the showcase Then he began
digging with his new tack-1nder.
The tiny tacks jumped at 1t as he
dragged 1t slowly through the brass
and-iron "junk-heap." He drew 1t
out fringed with thick clusters Of
them. He brushed them of with his
hand into an empty box and set the
magnet to work again. The tack-box
filed quickly, and soon there began
to be a shining heap Of brass screws
ready for the other box.
Dan couldn't help whistling softly
at his success.
There was another part of that
motto" he said to himself. 'Tisn't
all will-you got TO use your wits
and its lucky l thought Of you, you
beauty"
The whistle, however, drew the at
tention of the clerk again, and he
looking up in a temper, thinking he
should find he boy dawdling. They
had an order for those screws, and
wanted them badly. The thing he saw
made him come over to Dan to see
what be was up to.
well, you've got a head on you'll"
he exclaimed, a~dmiringly. Here,
give me that pile you've got clear, will
you? Right in this box. / want 'em."
He took the boxful and stepped to
the door of the inner office.
~"Here's your screws-part of ,em;
and the rest will be done In a half
hour. That boy of yours has got a
head piece that's worth money. Took
a magnet, and did in half an hour
what I'd been half a day about. He's
in On trial, but l guess you'll say he's
worth keeping"
The @boss", did say 1t. He came
cut and leaned on the counter ana
watched Dan finishing up his Job,
and chuckled softly to see him do it.
He did not say much to Dan beyond,
Good work." and a word or two
Of that sort. But TO the head clerk,
who also was spending valuable time
watching the performance he re-
marked In a low voice:
"Guess we can do better than
waste him on piling up kindltng-wood.
Shove him along as fast as he'll go
naturally. I'll make a place for him!~

RIVER FALLS GREW
FROM TINY VILLAGE

The City of River Falls of today is the
direct descendent of the tiny village of Kin
nickinnic of 1854, plated that year by Nathan
lei N. Powell and his brother, Oliver S. Powell,
and the name changed to River Falls the same
year with the establishment of the first post
office, and the appointment of Charles Hutch
inson as the first postmaster
The Powell Brothers, who in 1850 had tax
en- up a government claim where today's city
is situated, first plated tract of sixty acres
on the east side of the River. Two years lat
er, in 1856, they plated a tract of 120 acres
on the west side of the river.
The first merchandising establishment OPP
Grated in River Falls was the Pioneer Store"
located at the corner of Main and Maple streets
and owned by the Powell Brothers. The first
pOstoffice was located in the Pioneer Store
These men were aggressive and enterpris-
ing. They brought by steamboat from Illinois
to the St. Croix Valley, in 1849 the first
threshing machine ever operated north of
Prairie du Chen. This first was used in the
vicinity of Saltwater Minnesota. In 1852,
these brothers built the first sawmill in this
vicinity. -
Nathaniel n Powell died in 1862 at the
early age of So years Oliver S. Powell was
ASAVCA
Falls in 1888, at which time he was 81 years
old. Both were buried in Greenwood cemetery
here They were public spirited men, strong
in their support of the church and of educa-
ton.
The Powell Brothers were sons of Deacon
William Powell, born at Charlotte, Vermont, in
1884, and who died in River Falls at the age of
81 years in 1865.
The Powells were descended from a Welsh
family of some prominence, whose first repre-
sentative on American soil landed in this coun-
try in 1870, just fifty years before Deacon Will
liam Powell was born in Vermont. The family
motto, emblazoned on it's coat of arms, was
Fame Survives Fortune"
Deacon Powell was an American pioneer
of the old hardy, resourceful type. He first
took his family from Vermont to Madrid, New
York In 1843 he moved on to Augusta, ILL
nois, and in 1849 he ably aided his sons in COM
ing into the St. Croix Valley country.

ROMANTIC STORY OF JOEL FOSTER,
FIRST SETTLER, IN DAYS WHEN
RIVER FALLS WAS WILDERNESS
Continued from page p

Early in the spring of 1849, Mr. Foster
and Dick took the first steamboat from Hnd-
son to st. Louis, as soon as the ice had gone
out of the Mississippi They returned north
early in June, bringing four horses, two cows,
three dogs, dozen chickens, and pillow aboard
the steamboat to Hudson, and then drove IN
land to their location at the Falls of the Kin
nickinnic.
Farming was on in earnest in the Kinnic-
knnic Valley during the summer OF lo49.
Seven acres of prairie were broken immediate
ly and oats planted to provide horse feed for
the following winter. 1t was necessary to go
to Saltwater to get seed oats Potatoes were
planted and during the summer about twenty
acres of virgin prairie soil were turned over by
the plow
"Dick" proved to be faithful and enthu-
siastic assistant to Mr.. Foster. He was a good
rife shot and was keen for the hunting and
fishing to be found in the Valley. He was to
be freed in the fall of 1849, and In antclpa-
ton Of that event had taken up claim and
had made arrangements to go to ST. Louis to
be married. It was his plan to return to the
Falls of the Kinnickinnic in the spring of 1850,
keep house for Judge Foster and improve his
claim. But man proposes and a velvet-eyed
mulatto maid sometimes disposes. Dicks
new wife had no love for the prospect of ad-
venture and a fine farm in the Valley Of the
Kinnickinnic, "way up north She elected to
remain among her own people in Missouri
"Dick" was forced to choose between his fine
farm and his wife. Being twenty-one, and an
ardent young fellow to boot we all know what
he did.
Mr.. Foster never again saw Dick" after
driving him to Lake ST. Croix to take the
steamboat for St. Louis in that faraway fall Of
1849. "Dick" may have had some Fremont
ton of what would occur after his marriage,
for he shed tears freely as he chung to Mr..
Fosters hand at parting on the gang plank.
But the deep resonant whistle of Captain Har-
ris' steamboat echoing and re-echoing up and
down Lake ST. Croix, was needless of the drama
being enacted below. Leaning over the rail of
the boat. "Dick' waved his farewell to his
white "buddy" in two winters of tough pio-
neering.
AS one thumbs over the pages of Judge
Fosters piquant "reminiscences, he feels that
the older man was considerably affected by this
loss Of his faithful and companionabIe 'Dick,"
who had proven himself real pioneer
