HORSES ARE SCARCE
IN SABBATH TRAFFIC

Marshall Norseng of this city fur
n;shes journal readers with some in
teresting figures compiled from a
traffic count that he took at the
Stewart Mercantile Co. store corner
on Main street last Sunday after
noon.
During the two-hour period, from
2:30 to 4:30 p. M, Marshall counted
526 automobiles, and four horse
drawn vehicles that PASSED on the
street, and 1876 pedestrians comprised
the sidewalk traffic. (Marshall
might have added an astonishing fig
u1e to his total if he had noted the
canine pets, but without the assis-
lance of a secretary and an adding
machine he probably couldn't have
even made a fair estimate Of that
traffic item).
Of the 526 cars 331 were "open"
and 1876 closed models, and they car
ried a total Of 1868 passengers, in
Guiding me drivers.
The makes of cars in this list were
Unidentified as follows: Ford 261,
Buick 81, Nash IL, Chevrolet so,
Willys-Knight 8, Overland 81, bort
A, Oakland s, Studebaker %, Dodge
27, Oldsunobile Z, Hudson 4. Mar
shall was unable to classify fifty of
the cars that passed his station, and
no doubt some of those belonged to
enc or another of the makes listed
above, although he is fairly certain
THAT, no matter how disguised, he
didn't miss "a single one of the "tin
million"

-Four Hundred Students
Expected At Normal School

The opening enrolment is eonsid-
eraioly below that of recent years, at
the end of the second day Of school
the number enrolled being 1876. 1t is
expected that the term enrolment
will reach approximately 400 stud
ents. The decline in enrolment is
very largely in the rural department
and in the two year courses for grade
teachers. Reports from other teacher
training institutions of the state in
dicate a decline in the enrolment in
such schools. The reason assigned
for the decline is the over-supply Of
teachers. While it is true that there
is something Of an over-supply, the
matter has been greatly exaggerated.
In the River Falls Normal School the
placement of graduates for the pres
ent year has been better than in 1924,
and fully as good as in 1922 and 1923.
Of the total number of $50 diploma
graduates, over 100 have reported as
having accepted positions. 1t is es-
timated that not over 20 of this
years class are now unplaccd. These
will no doubt secure positions during
the fall term or during Christmas
holidays.
Miss Dorothea Birdsell Of North
field, Mimi, has been appointed to the
position held by the late Miss Eliza
beth Fleming. Miss Birdsell holds
the A. Nj degree from the University
of Wisconsin and has taught for a
number of years in important po-
sitions in Minnesota high schools.
She will assume her duties in the
Junior High School Department Of
the Normal School on next Monday.
Professors May and Prucha were
at the Ellsworth Fair Thursday judg-
ing grain and poultry exhibitions.
A large number of candidates have
responded for football practice, which
indicates the usual strong team.

Herschberger, is putting the men

POUNDS DYNAMITE CAP;
LOSES THREE FINGERS

Steven Sherman, eight-yeaT-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd P. Sher-
man Of Kinnickirnic, had the thumb
and first finger of his hand blown
completely off and may lose another
finger as the result of the explosion
of a dynamite cap last Saturday
evening.
Steven found the cap IL a box at
the barn and attempted to ilatten it
on the ground with a hammer. Not
succeeding in the attempt he placed

and at the first blow of the hammer
it exploded, mutilating his hand and
spotting his body with tiny particles
of the explosive and bits from the
cap.
He was rushed to the Ctr Hospit-

IN MEMORIAM

In the death of Elizabeth Fleming
the Normal School has lost one whom
it will be difficult to replace. She
was an inspirational teacher in the
highest sense of the term. Though
quiet and unassuming she made a
deep impression upon those with
whom she worked. Hundl eds Of boys
and girls-many of them men and
women now-owe to her a love of
the beautiful in nature, the best in
literature, and the highest ideals in
citizenship. She loved the outdoors
the birds ad flowers and trees were
her friends. And to her human
friends she was loyalty and devotion
itself.
Wealth and success are often com.
puted by material things, but if we
measure by real things Of life-the
affection and admiration of her pup.
lis, the love and devotion of hel
friends, and the respect of aIl-ther
surely hers was a rich and successful
life.

FAN MURDERS WIFE
THEN HANGS HIMSELF

Joseph Birkel, town of Ellsworth
farmer, murdered his wife and, after
mutilating her body horribly with a
razor, went out into the barn and
hung himself to a rafter. The trag-
edy occurred Sunday evening, but
it was unknown to all but their two
sons until Monday night.
1t is related that Birkel joined a
number of friends in lively party
in the neighborhood and that he and
his wife had a violent QUARREL the
following morning.
The two sons, one aged and the
other 8, were at home when their
father committed the crime, but evil
IDENTITY under his threat, they re-
Trained from mentioning that any
thing had happened until their uncle,
Ernest Birkle, returned to his near
by home about ten o'clock Monday
night.
They then told their uncle where
to find the bodies of their parents,
but have not, according to neighbors,
even yet related any further details
of the tragedy.
1t is said that there was hardly
a square inch of Mrs. Birke's body
which was not SCARED by the razor.
Double funeral services were held
for Mr.. and Mrs. Birkel this morning
at the Lost Creek Catholic church,
Rev. FIR. Edmund Cramer officiating.

They would smile, twinkle their
eyes, shake their heads and there
was the end of it. Even the old
chief met us with the same obsti-
nate denial, and it was only Mare
tas, the youngest whom we had
saved, who looked wistfully at us
and told us by his gestures that he
was grieved Tor our thwarted wishes.
Ever since their browning triumph
with the ape-men they looked upon
us as supermen, who bore victory
in the tubes Of strange weapons,
and they believed that so long as
we remained with them good fortune
would be theirs. A little red-si1inned
wife and a cook of our own were
freely offered to each of us If we
would but forget our own people and
dwell forever upon the plateau. SO
far all had been kindly, however far
apart our desires might be; but we
felt we'll assured that our actual
plans of descent must be kept Sc
cret, for we had reason to fear that
at the last they might try to hold
as ny lOICS.
