for Better Prices.

Perhaps twenty-five dairymen liv-
ing in the Immediate vicinity OF
Mitchell formed an association re-
Gently for the purpose Of improving
their herds and getting better prices
for their product. At the time the
organization was formed. this week,
a statement Of what they demanded
was presented to the Turner Produce
Co. 1t should be understood that
these dairymen patronize the Turner
Produce Co. in selling their milk, It
being gathered and hauled to the
plant.
The dairymen demanded that the
Turner Produce Co. increase the
price paid for milk twenty per cent.
They demanded that they should re-
ceive through the months Of May,
June. July, and August the sum Of
80 cents per pound for their butter
fat, and 40 cents a pound through
the months of September. October.
November, December, January, Feb
ruary, March and April. Further,
that the association should be per-
mitted to place a man at the COM
pany's plant to act as a tester that
they might absolutely know that they
were receiving all they We're entitled
to in the testing process.
The meeting of this association and
the company was set for this morn
ing at the court house. There were
about twenty of the dairymen pres
ent and Messrs. Turner and Herrick
were there to present their statement.
When the two came together it
was but natural that questions should
be asked, and considerable time spent
in sort of a heart to heart talk.
The test procedure was discussed
and this has all along been a bone
of contention between the parties.
Mr.. Turner stated that the dairymen
would be afforded every faculty. for
the test, that they would willingly
and gladly permit one of the men,
bers to be present at any and all
times to look after the interests Of
the association. In fact. Mr.. Turner
assured the members that the COM
pany was wholly DESTROYS in afford
ing the members every opportunity
to see that they got the correct test,
and that if anything went wrong in
that line for them to calI at the office
and have the matter Strengthened
out. Such a free and fair proposition
on the part of the company eliminat-
ed that from further discussion.
MI. Herrick took up the statement
made by the dairymen, and asked
what they meant by improving the.
quality of their milk. 1t was explain
ed that while the dairymen were se-
curing their milk from cows OF the
most ordinary character and that
dairying was carried on In a crude
form in this section. it was the. in

wEsLEYAAs GET VICTORY
In Flerce Basketball Struggle Defeat
State College Boys 20 to ~
score-Reyeal Best Form.

Dakota Wesleyan came into her Owl
at the city hall Friday night when
she defeated the aggressive State Col
lege team in basketball by the score
of 26 to II. the visitors only making
6 points in the second half. The game
started in with Mitchell walking
away with the victory apparently,
but Brooktngs woke up and the lat
ter part Of the arst half witnessed .
pretty struggle on the door rs has
been seen for q long while. The sec
ond half Of the contest was = steady
climb for the locals. her stars shoot
ing baskets at regular intervals. The
state college boys had one man,
sauder. who was very accurate In
free throws after fouls and IN the
first part Of the game increased the
marasin against the nnal victors.
Good feeling prevailed among the
players throughout and the omcials
made their decisions with no pro-
tests.
The Mitchell lineup was: Kirkpat-
rick and Hersey. forwards; Tyler,
center: sheeks and Brown. guards.
Kirk" threw altogether 4 baskets,
more than any Of his mates and kept
the score down considerable by his
excellent guarding. Hersey made 3
baskets from the field and 2 on free
throws. His work in the latter de-
partment was ragged in the nrst half.
sheeks vas easily the fastest man On
the door aud was in the midst of
every play. He threw one. foul and.
Brown M basket. In the second
half Rex Smith was substituted for
Tyler at center and threw one basket
and one foul. His dribbling Of the
ball was q spectacular feature and
on one occasion he brought the crowd
to its feet by his work. When he is
better acquainted with the style Of
play Of the locals Smith will un-
.doubtedly be one Of the best men In
the Quint. 4
The lineup for the State College
was: Sauder and crane, forwards;
Jensen, center; Johnson and Pence,
guards. Sauder and johnson we're the
only mes Of the five that showed real
stellar caliber. The team work OF the
bunch vas good but it
could not beat down the defense of
the Wesleyan guards and the trys
at baskets almost invariably failed.
The ofense shown by the visitors
was aggressive and accurate but they
the ability to rally at the
crucial time. Had they entered the
second half like they finished the
first the result would have been pos
sibly different. The latter part of
the game saw Mitchell forge ahead
but surely in spite of the
efforts Of the visitors.
The Wesleyans have developed
much in their work at guarding,
is possibly due to the shifting
Of Sheeks and the effect of his speed
and range at covering the floor. Their
game vas not up to the standard
shown at Montrose Tuesday night,
being much more ragged and cratic.
Their basket shooting has improved
and will undoubtedly be better by
the time of the games with vermil-
lion and Sioux Falls.

case. Mrs. Laura Williams.
Mrs. Williams brought suit againse
her father-in-law. ]. w. Williams,
for the sum Of $4,000 for alienat-
ing the affections Of her husband.
The trial has been on for the past
week and was given to the jury late
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. spangler
leaving shortly after making his adj
dress to the jury. He received .
telephone message Thursday from
Mr.. Hanten that the jury brought in
a verdict of $4,000 for the woman.
Mr.. Spangler said that the entire
town and surrounding country was
all taken UP with the case and that
the women neglected their household
duties in order to be at the court
house every day, and that they even
brought their dinners in order to hold
a good point Of view In the court
room.
The trouble originated several
years ago when ]. w. Williams and
his wife made their home with the
young people, the young wife being
called upon to nurse the mother-in-
law and later a niece was brought up
from Sioux City, who was very ill and
in fact about to die. The younger
Mrs. Williams showed a rebelious
spirit when SO much a heaped up
on her and left for her former home
at Waterloo, Iowa. Last August she
returned and met her husband and
things we're patched up to some ex-
tent. Before that the elder Mrs. VIII
liams and the Sioux City niece had
died. When Mrs. Williams return
ed last August the father-in-law cons
menced to abuse her and she was
forced to leave again. the last straw
being when papers yer served on
her by her husband starting diyor,e
proceedings. and which she claimed
were actuated by the father-in-law.
Immediately thereafter Mrs. WIZ

against tie father-in-law charging
him with destroying the affections Of
