UP sTREAMERs ARE DEFEATED
Exciting Basket Ball Game Goes to
Representatives of High School

Freshie basket ball players of the
High School defeated the Up Stream
ers by score of Is to % Thursday
evening.
The game was thriller throughout
and at times it looked bad for the de-
tenders of the school.
In the end the Uppers failed to get
across with enough baskets and the
Freshies annexed the first scalp of
the season
The participants were: Freshman:
Captain Aune, and Andy Luscher
forwards; Glassco, center, Carrity and
Kuck, guards.
Upstreamers: Captain WEIGH and
Ingolf Stensvad, forwards; King, CEN
ter and Ashford and GeRoy, guards.
William Evans and Julian Stensvad,
substitutes.
Another contest between these two
teams is booked for the near future
and meanwhile each team will put
in some hard work practicing.

President Taft will not go to Gin
Ginnati and practise law when he
leaves the White House, but has
agreed to accept professorship in
the Yale law school.
This statement was made by close
friend of President Taft, who said he

1t 10 said that President Taft will
accept the Kent professorship of law,
which has not been filled since the
death of Edward ]. Phelps in 1900.
Mr., Phelps was appointed in 1881,
and although he became Minister to
Great Britain by appointment of Pres
ldent Cleveland in 1886 he retained it
until his death. The professorship

Good Old Fashioned Common Sense,
Honesty and Hustling Are What
Make Young Men and Women
Successful. This is an Advertise
ment, But Leigh Toland Would
Like to Have You Read 1t.
For twenty-three years, we have
prepared young people for positions
paying from S45 to S75 per month to
begin with. We do not care how old
you are, how young you are, how
much education you have or have not,
we can prepare you in one of our
courses for first class position. Here
are a few facts. More employed
graduates than all the business
schools combined in Minnesota, Wis
consin and North and South Dakota.
Expert Faculty. Handsome and COM
plete equipment. Every modern Of
flee device known. No entrance ex-
aminations. No public recitations.
Personal instruction. Low rates of
tuition and board. Students board in
private homes of people we know.
Beautiful and healthful city on the
Missippi river: Immediate report and
care in case of sickness. Recommended
by Bishop and every clergyman and
every bank in the city, and by many
of the greatest men of the United
States. Students from Wisconsin
Minnesota, Iowa, North and South
Dakota, Montana, Indiana, New Mex
leo and Canada and foreign countries.
Happiest student dances, parties,
theater parties, etc., all under school
supervision. You are at home the
first day. All you have to do is to
pack your trunk and come; we at
tend to everything else for you. Par
ents can trust this school. Only school
that offers one month trial free and
pays part car fare.
If you are going to school and these
things are all true, is not the w. B. u.
worthy of your attention?
The Wisconsin Business University
of La Crosse, Wisconsin, in its twen-
ty-third year and chartered by the
state asks for your patronage. 1t is
too old, has too high reputation, and
is too solid financially to lie in its
work, in its letters, or in its adver-
tisements.

give your letter personal attention.

Help The Fire Marshall.
If the people of Minnesota fully ap-
preciate the dangers to which their:
families are subjected at this season
hey would give the Fire Marshal ev-
cry possible cooperation in carrying
out suggestions made to minimize
his danger.
Do not use cotton batting, tissue
paper or celluloid ornaments on
tree.
Place the gifts beneath the tree in
stead Of suspending them from the
branches.
Shut Out Air Draughts.
See that no draught of air reaches
the tree to sway its branches while
it is Illuminated.
Extinguish all lights on the tree
before attempting to distribute gifts,
especially if any are suspended from
the branches.
Never leave the tree unmatched
while Illuminated and make certain
that all lights are thoroughly extin-
pushed before you leave it.
Have sheet metal tin or zinc) be-
meath every three to catch drippings
from the candles or possible burning
material.
Have buckets of sand or water. or
fire eXtinguishers in place convent
ent for instant use.
And, finally, as has frequently been
suggested heretofore, "BE CARE
Full"
Christmas dangers are all avoid
able, and carelessness has no excuse,
especially where the lives of children
Nigh be endangered This is their
day and they should be enabled to
enjoy it in perfect safety.

WARNING FROM
FIRE MARSHALL
Keller Tells Celebrators How To Head
OFF Tragedies Due To Christmas
Festivities.
DON'T USE COTTON ON TREE.
Candle Should Also Be Barred Where
ever Possible-Wash Santa In
Alum Water.

Charles E. Keller, state fire mar
shall, has sent out the following warn
ing with reference to Christmas fire:
For a number of years the press of
America agitated sane celebration

dents both to life and property
through the careless handling of fire.
works. In Minnesota last July the
losses were nominal both as to life
and property.
Grave Fire Hazard.
The rapidly approaching Christmas
season brings grave fire hazards with
it. The flimsy materials used in
store decorations are of highly in
f1ammable nature, usually in close
proximity to kerosene, gas, acetylene,
electric and other lights.
Electric lights properly safeguard
ed are the ideal light for decorative
purposes, but improper handling
makes them a decided fire menace.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1912-12-17

Electric bulbs should never be wrap
ped in tissue paper or cloth for coll
ored effects, as the heat from a light
of small calibre will ignite if kept in
contact with the wrappings for a
short time
Fine Opportunity For Holocaust.
The average Christmas tree offers
unusual opportunities for a terrible
holocaust as the tree and trimmings
lighted with gaily colored candles is
a veritable death trap. Churches,
halls and school houses where public
celebrations are held are usually pack
ed to suffocation and in many instanc-
es the aisles and other means of
exit are filled with people, making
escape almost impossible, but in any
event imperiling the lives of all who
attend. 1t has been truly said:
Twigs of resinous trees; fes-
toons of leaves; wreaths of tissue
paper; bags of netting; cotton

Not Opposed To Christmas.
The State Fire Marshall does not
wish to be understood as opposing
the proper celebration of the Christ
mas season. The interest taken by
the public in its observance is COM
mendable, but every Christmas re-
cords many fires costing hundreds of
lives and thousands of dollars worth
of property, which could have been
saved had proper care been used.
Wherever possible electric lights in
stalled by a competent electrician
should be used for the tree illuminat-
ing. Cotton is the most common ma
terial used for tree decorating, it is
also the most infammable and should
never be tolerated. There is a SUBJ

CHINA FIGHTS
OPIUM SMOKERS
Oriental Nation Resolved To Stop
Practice Which Has Been Nations
Worst Vice.

The establishment of the Chinese
Republic has led many occidentais to
change their opinion as to the leth-
argy and inertia which they supposed
characteristic of the inhabitants of the
celestial empire.
There is another story of accom-
phshment in China, however, during
the past five years, which makes it
even clearer than the recent revolu-
ton that there are undreamed of
springs of energy in the Chinese peo-
pie
Decided To Stop Opium Smoking.
About five years ago the Chinese
government decided that opium smok-
ing, which had become the national
vice of China, even to greater ex-
ten than alcoholism is of the Western
nations, must stop, and that within
ten years.
It is scarcely to be wondered at
that when this government edict was
issued it was greeted with smiles ev-
erywhere; five years have passed and
now the world knows that success in
the great crusade seems almost as
sured.
Cut Trade 10 Per Cent Each Year.
The method that China is pursuing
is interesting. Five years ago China
and Great Britain made what is
known as 'the ten-years' agree
ment," by which the British govern
ment undertook to reduce the amount
of opium sold in Calcutta on govern
ment account for export to China by
10 per cent. every year until the traf-
flee had ceased.
On her part China agreed to dim
inish her own production in a cores
ponding way. Measures were to be
taken to reduce the growth of opium
in China 10 per cent, each year until
at the end of ten years no more would
be raised.
Results Are Satisfactory.
With supplies from India cut off
and the home crop reduced and even
tually suppressed altogether; the OPT,
UNI habit must necessarily disappear.
The results accomplished thus far are
promising. Travellers report that it
is no longer common to see men smok-
ing opium at their own doors. Even
two years after the edict, those who
smoked did so in secret. The edict is
being enforced.
Actual SO Per Cent Reduction.
The agricultural map of China
shows after five years that there has
been an actual reduction of so per
cent. in the production of opium
There has been as great reduction
in its use. All the world will watch 4
with interest this other Weakening of
China, and the oriental method of
solving a great social question says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association In the West we have our
social problems of similar nature
and China's example may prove il
and helpful.

HERE'S A FISH STORY.

Last Friday afternoon Henry
Schmidt speared 10-pound pickerel
through the ice in the Cottonwood
river. This is one of the largest fish
of the kind taken from the river in
number of years. Time was when
the river furnished an abundance of
fish, but the installation of the dam
at Iberia some years ago prevented
the migration of the fnny tribe. The
pickerel measured 33-inches from tip
to tip.-Springfeld Advance.
