You followers and supporters Of
the crimson and white basketball
team, who have had sad moments
and many of them because it was
borne into you that your favorite
band had been defeated by Curtis
High School Annex and defeated on
your teams own court-you have
sighed in vain. Indeed it would be
unpleasant for the local fans to
think that a bunch of tossers hail
ing from an ANNEX could trim the
P. A. H. S. crew. And this is the
which has predominated and
which we as well as c. r. Taylor,
who is in charge of Curtis Annex,
wish to dispel from the populace
who follow the interests of either
team concerned.
The team that came here and con-
quered the crimson aggregation was

SUGGESTS CREAM GRADING
University Professor Declares Wis
consin Farmers Might Easily
Add Million to Income.

Madison. one million dol
lars year could be added to the
income Of Wisconsin dairymen if the
quality of the butter made in this
state were improved enough so as to
bring one cent more per pound than
it now does, says Prof. G.. H. Ben
kendorf of the dairy school of the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture
Better butter will be possible If
better cream can be secured, Prof
Benkendorf contends, and he sug-
gests that the best way to secure
better cream is to have a method
of cream grading.
BY grading cream according to its
acid content and butter fat content
and paying less for cream of high
acid content and low butter fat con-
tent than for cream having a large
amount of butter fat and little acid
the farmers would be encouraged to
produce better cream, Prof. Benken-
dorf believes.

1t is believed both will be announced

The complaint of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association of
Milwaukee has been pending before
the state body for two years. 1t is
directed against all express compan-
les operating in Wisconsin. The de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission will, it is believed, make
the interstate rates into Wisconsin
uniform and the state commission
will adjust and make reasonable in
trastate shipments.
