The dispatch from St Louis stating that
the new owners of the club are blue

for players may sound good TO Western
fans but the experience OF Philadelphians
with blue blood baseball ownership was
such that the fans here will want TO see

WINGED that the right magnates have been

When Col John I. Rogers and A. J.
Reach sold the Phillies 10 a syndicate
made up largely OF society sportsmen in
1903, it was thought that there would be
lavish outlay for players, and that the
club would never have 10 consider the
matter or expense.
The promise. though. was never made
good. The blue blood" owners waited
for the money TO come in az the gate be-
fore they tried to spend any for star
players and as the fans failed to pay
the tribute expected at the box Offices.

History of Cotton.

Prior to the middle Of the eighteenth
century cotton, so far as modern time
Is concerned, was practically unknown.
1t was grown only In the flower gar
den. When eight bags of the staple
arrived In Liverpool In 1Ts4 the us
tom house officers seized 1t on the
ground that so much could not have
been raised In America. In 1857 our
first cotton mill wa set in motion at
Beverly, Mass. In 1893 Whitney In
vented the cotton gin, which rendered
cotton raising profitable, and 1t soon
became the leading crop OF the south,
The southern United States produces
most OF the cotton of the world and
viii in all probability continue for all
time to hold a monopoly Of the staple.

Milwaukee,
This simple announcements in the list
of Milwaukee marriage licenses pub
lished in Saturdays Free Press brings
a world of enlightenment to the friends
of the Green Bay senator, who may
have supposed, from the assiduity with
which he has been spending his Sundays
and week-ends in Milwaukee since the
last session of the legislature, that
he was deeply engaged in some great
political plot,
Senator Burke is native of Brown
county, having been bornin the town of
Morrison on Feb. ,, 1866. After teach
ing and farming for a time he entered
the University of Wisconsin and was
graduated from the law department in
1898. He was member of the assem-
bly, from the second district of Brown
county in 1895 and 1896, sheriff of Brown
county in 1901 and 1902, member of the
assembly from the First district of
Brown county in 1907 and 1908, and was
elected state senator in 1898. He has
been the county chairman of his party
since 1904 and is member of the law
firm of Kittell & Burke, Green Bay.

for which the license has been issued

seeding is practiccd cutting should
not be done the first season, for the
entire growth is needed for winter
protection. The number Of cuttings
the second year depends on the rich
ness of the soil and the conditions Of
the season. Two crops are usually
taken off the first season after spring
seeding and three cuttings the season
following August planting.
The curing of alfalfa is the same as
red clover, in the afternoon of the
same day Of cutting, if weather has
been favorable, the alfalfa can be
raked and put into small cocks These
cocks should not be left standing in
the field more than two or three days
without moving, or the alfalfa plants
underneath the cocks will be partially
or completely smothered.
The crop can either be stacked or
placed in barn after curing. The
best place, however, is the barn, for
then it is under roof and kept away
from bad rainy weather

TWO RIVERS WOODEN
WARE co. FAILS,

For the second time in little more
than five years the Two Rivers Wood
enware company one of the pioneer
manufacturing concerns OF Two Rivers,
is in the hands of a receiver. The
company has been short of ready
money with which to meet its obliga-
tions for some time past and last Sat
urday admitted in writing its inability
to pay its outstanding accounts and
debts. The petition in bankruptcy
was filed by three of its Milwaukee
creditors and the Milwaukee Trust
Company was appointed receiver by
Judge Quarles of the Federal Court.
The liabilities of the company are
estimated at 1894, ,633. 10 and its assets
at $433, 300. The company employs
about two hundred men, and has con-
tracts on hand amounting to $4,000.
There is said to be no danger that
the plant will be closed down, but that
on the contrary every effort will be
made to meet the contracts on hand.
