Ashland H. S. Wins Second
Game from Washburn
But is Compelled to Fight
for Every Point Mace
in Contest.

The foot ball season for the Wash
burn High school was finished last
| Saturday when the team met the
Ashland high school team on the
grounds in this city in one of the
most exciting games seen here this
year. In the first game played be-
tween the two teams Ashland won
out by a score of thirty-eight to 0
and Washburn was determined that
they would cut down the score in
the second game played and natural
ly good deal of interest was center
ed in the contest. The Ashland team
is considerably heavier than the
Washburn aggregation, weighing
nearly ten pounds heavier to the
man, and this additional weight
proved big advantage in the game
played here Saturday.
The game was called at $3.50 p.
m. and within two minutes Ashland
had succeeded in crossing the goal
line for a touchdown. After this
touchdown the Washburn players got
into the game in earnest and Ash
land was compelled to fight for every
inch of ground gained. Most of their
gains were made by straight line
plunges and end runs, their forward
passes falling almost every time they
were ATTEMPTED. They kept up
their line hammering during the en-
tire game but the Washburn line did
not weaken and seemed to hold
better toward the latter part of the
game than during the first part of
the contest. During the game Ashland
succeeded in making five touchdowns.
drop kicking goal from the twenty
five yard line and kicking one goal,
making in all twenty-nine points.
The Washburn team scored on their
opponents during the third quarter of
the game when Christensen kicked
goal from the twenty yard line.
Those who witnessed the contest
gave the Washburn team good deal
of credit for the game they put up
when playing against such great odds.
During the season just closed the
Washburn team has played total of
six games as follows:

BANDITS ATTACK BANK.

Anoka. - Four masked and heavi.
ly armed men battered in the front
doors of the Anoka National Bank
building with crowbars. Once inside,
they lost no time in attacking the
vault and soon had it's outer doors
open. They were then confronted with
the inner doors of the vault and fired
a charge of nitroglycerin in their ef-
forts to break them down.
The charge was ineffective and the
bandits, realizing that they could not
get to the banks treasure before day
light, if at all, retreated.
Frank Wethern, a young farmer of
the northern part of the county, was
passing the bank on his way to ho-
tel when the robbers appeared. When
confronted by four heavily armed men
Wethern endeavored to run away and
give the alarm. The robbers took at.
ter him and ran him down. They
handcuffed him and tied him to a
telephone pole in the vicinity of the
bank.
One of the bandits held gun on
Wethern while another made thor.
ough search of his clothes for money
and jewels. They found SIT in cash
in one of his pockets, but overlooked
$210 that he had concealed in his un.
derclothing.

state training school, at Red Wing, ac-
cording to information given at the Of
flee today. The board of control, it is
understood, reluctantly has consented
to receive the resignation. Mr.. Whit
tier has been informed, through f. u.

troll, that his resignation is expected.
The other two members of the board,
Messrs. Ringdahl and Vassally, are
said to favor his retention, but prob
ably will yield to the governor The
question at issue appears to be the ex-
tent of time to be given Mr. Whittier.
The board of control believes he
should have six months, while Govern
or EberharI, not wishing to be harsh
or severe, thinks one or two months is
sufficient. The board went to Roches.

conference with the governor on the
subject. It is understood the executive

Law Practice Elsewhere.
Winona.-Whether or not former
Congressman James A. Tawney con-
tinues his residence in Winor1a is de-
pendent entirely upon the nature of
his new duties on the International
boundary waters commission. Mr..
Tawney yesterday denied that he has
been contemplating the purchase of a
home in Minneapolis or even that he
had thought of such matter.
My future work is as much un.
known to me as it is to those friends
who are interesting themselves in re.
gard to my future residence" said Mr..
Tawney. Il am. anxious to resume the
practice of law and if the work on the
commission does not require all of
my time, intend to again become a
full-fedged lawyer. In that event l
may leave Wjnona for a field where
the law business will be more profit
able than in Winona. But, of course,
that is matter that the future must
decide and am not anxious to leave
Winona.''
Mr.. :Tawney received his first appli.
cation since his appointment to the
boundary commission. It came from
the Erie Sanitary Canal company and
seeks privileges and water rights along
the line of the Canadian boundary be-
tween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in

HEREFORDS WIN AS GRAZERS
Their Ability to Fatten on Grass Diet
Is Characteristic Which Ap-
peais to All.

There is no breed of cattle which
approaches the Hereford as grazers,
and their ability to fatten on grass
diet of their own cleaning Is a char
acteristic which appeals to all who
are looking for the most economical
method of producing beef.
Extremes of weather, which will
cause other cattle to seek shelter or
shade does not deter the Hereford
from eating his fill; and the contrast
after an unfavorable season between
the Hereford and other breeds is very
marked, writes August Haedecke in
the Northwestern Agriculturist.
The Hereford can be fattened at
any age with equal rapidity. Whether
is desired the Hereford will salts.
I factorily meet all requirements.
The impressiveness of the Here
ford Sire, when used on scrubs or
native cattle, is quality which rec
ommends itself to breeders of every
section The color, coat and mark.
ings are all ideal and all are trans
mitted by the sire to his offspring,
making uniform bunch of animals
which will instantly attract the buyer.
No dollhouse pampering is requisite
10 fit the Hereford steer for market
There is nothing capricious about his
appetite and all that is necessary ia
20 give him chance at the feed
trough.
The Hereford bull is Of mild even
temperament, not in the least excit
able or cross, yet never overlooking
m opportunity to increase the number
OF his offspring. The COWS are good
mothers and supply abundant mill
poe their calves.
