ECLIPSE is VISIBLE
FEW MINUTES HERE

Saturday mornings eclipse was
visible for a few moments here just
after the moons shadow had started
to release the suns rays.
Clouds obscured all sight Of the
orb at sunrise and until the toal
eclipse had started to pass, but
about 8:15 there were Breaks in the
mists which allowed an occasional
glimpse, and the last stages of the
eclipse were plainly visible.
i Many people arose early and
journeyed up to the mounds in this
vicinity to view the spectacle, but
they were no better off than those
who kept to their usual rising
schedule and gave the sun glance
whenever a rift in the clouds permit
ted.
The mists lent an advantage how
ever in the fact that is was possible
to look through the lighter clouds
directly at the sun without the need
Of smoked glasses.

ORANGE & WHITE
LOSE TO NEW RICHMOND

Last Thursday night the High
School cagers lost their first con-
ference game in five starts. New
Richmond completely upset the dope
and won PALS. The Cyclone City
boys started off with a bang and
dropped in two baskets before. our
team found themselves. The River
Falls team came back with lot Of
fight and tied the score several times
but at no time were they able to take
the lead. At the end of the half the
score stood 1919 in their favor New
Richmond increased this lead to nine
points and held it until late in the
fourth quarter when River Falls got
the team work going. The rally,
however, fell short, for when the
final whistle blew the score was "a
to 10.
The main weakness Of our boys was
their defensive side as many of
their baskets were the results Of
close shots. Berseng was high point
man for New Richmond and Carisch
and Knowles tied for the Falls scor-
ing h6no1s.

MINER WOULD FORBID
IMITATION .OF BUTTER

Assemblyman MINER, st. Croix
county, has introduced bin No. IA,
which, if enacted into law, will pro-
hibit mixing of milk or milk products
with vegetable fats.
In letter to The Journal Assem-
blyman Miner explains his bills as
follows:
'The process of making oleomarg-
arine or 'churning, as they call it,
about 48 pounds of milk in 500
pounds of cocoanut oil or some
other vegetable oil. This, of course,
is not sufficient to enrich the COM
pound but is in the formula to give
the imitation the odor and flavor
of real butter, which, by Federal law,
must contain so per cent pure butter
fat"
The bill would add d new subsec-
tion to section 98.07 Of the statutes
to read: ct shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation" " =
to manufacture, sell or exchange, or
have in his possession with intent to
sell or exchange, any substance con-
tanning any milk or milk products
designed or intended to be used or
capable of being used for or as a sub
stitute for butter, which contains
any vegetable fat"

responsible for his teams 3-point
victory.
Twice River Falls spurted up from
behind and had the visitors COM
pletly baffleds but each time Olson
tossed in long, disheartening loopers
that nipped the Red & White out Of
the lead.
Eau Claire gained an early mar
gin and held it until two minutes be-
fore the close of the frss hall, when
River Falls tied the tally at ID ALL
The visitors spurted ahead again
at the opening of the second period
and with but two minutes left to
play they were six points ahead.
River Falls closed this up to a l.
point gap when, just as the final
shot rang out Hoen Gagged a long one,
leaving the final score at 34-31 in
favor Of Eau Claire.

STATE ADJUTANT LAUDS
CUSTER TRAINING CAMP

Adjutant General Ralph M. I'M
nell of the Wisconsin National
Guard says that the young men from
Wisconsin at. the annual Citizens
Military Training Camp at Camp
Custer, Mich, attracted attention by
the remarkable physical condition.
They developed inc the best military
unit in camp and won every inter
state athletic event.
The aims of the camp are not mil
itaristic and are not to commit
young men to lifetime in the army
nor train hem to warlike ends.
The venture is designed to teach
citizenship, to train and improve
physique, to develop moral fitness
and only incidentally to insist on per-
lection in drill and military naneuv-
ers as those wolk into physical train
ing.
Besides the drill field there are
tennis courts, baseball diamonds,
basketball Iayouts, football field
and yollyball courts.
The River Falls boys who attended
last year, Behlmer Carisch, Lowell
Dawson and Franklin Standish, are
enthusiastic boosters for the Custer
camp, and plan to attend again next
summer. The local delegation won
high honors in camp athletics.

Farmers Are Won
To County Test

Over 600 farmers of st. Croix
county gathered at a theatre in
Hudson last Thursday to voice their
approval of the countrywide tubercu-
lin test for cattle.
Through technical error in sign
ing up the original petition for the
test it was deemed illegal and it has
been decided to get out another pet
ion Immediately.
+ At Hudson Saturday the only one
to speak against the plan in the
meeting was II. c. Stebnitz of River
Falls.
Farmers who had signed the pet
ition asking for rehearing. and who
were at first opposed to the test,
stated that their opposition had been
aroused through misrepresentation
and that now that they understood it
better they would join with those
who were urging it.
Women's societies, represented by
three ladies at the meeting, presented
resolutions asking that the test be
installed because of the health
feature and the financial benefits
which will occrue to the farmers.
Rev. Fir. Rice of st. Patrick's
church, Hudson, spoke in favor Of the
test. He said that at present it is
safer to let the children drink moon
shine than some of the disease-bear-
ing milk from infected herds in this
section.

Community MOurns Loss
Of Beloved Doctor

Doctor Thomas w. Ashley, who
Lad practiced medicine in this corr
munity for nearly forty years, died
at his home on N. Fourth street last
Friday night at the age Of " years.
In this long period of efficient, self
sacrificing devotion to his practice
he has won the deep and everlasting
gratitude of all, and the cherished
memory of this kindly old man will
live on forever in the minds of those
to whom he has administered health
and hope in their hours Of distress.
DR.. Ashley was born in Saltwater,
Minnesota, September 8, 1852, and
spent his early youth in various en-
ployment in the lumber industry.
His stories of his boyhood days were
always of absorbing interest-stories
Of life IN the lumber camps Of the
Northwest, in the mills, of canoeing
up The Red River Of the North, and
recollections of Civil War days in the
South, where his father and mother
had gone on account Of the latter's
health. The father, armed with rifle
and axe, held off marauding bands
of poor white trash" until, through
the intervention of better class OF
.Southerners, the Ashleys were placed
aboard a river steamer and allowed
to return to their northern home.
An intense longing for knowledge
inspired Thomas Ashley, deprived Of
early schooling, to develop into a
highly educated man. He was great
reader, and absorbed the best from
what he read Had he, in later years,
devoted less time to his profession
and engaged moreein authorship, it IS
certain that his literary fame would
have been widespread. But he felt
that he owed his very best to his pro-
fession, and to the very last of his
active days he continued to study
those subjects which would enable
him to give greater service to his
patients.
lie married Miss Harriet Ferris at
New Richmond on June 81, 1879.
Mrs. Ashley and their son, Atty.
Lynn Fl. Ashley, survive.
After graduating from the Hanna
mann Medical College, Chicago, in
1884, he started the practice of medi-
cine in Hammond. After year there
he took over the practice of DR..
Matchen (now of Minneapolis) in
River Falls, and he had practiced
here continuously since 1886.
DR.. Ashley Unidentified himself with
the best endeavors of the community,
and was prominent in whatever rcb-
lie service he engaged.
He was a member of the Masonic
Lodge and Chapter, a charter mem
Der and first Worthy Patron CT the
local Eastern Star chapter, and also
belonged to the Modern Woodmen of
the World lodges here.
Funeral services wele held by Dr..
j. O. Thrush at the home Sunday
afternoon, and his brother Masons
had charge of the services at the
grave in Greenwood cemetery.
