The following from the Milwaukee

tent extreme egostism may lead a

La Crosse, Wis, Nov. 18-In or
der that Sparta and Oshkosh may
play for the state championship
on Thanksgiving day, the La
Crosse High school football team
has been asked to cancel its
date at Sparta for that day and
is considering it.
Sparta and Oshkosh are now
the only unbeaten teams in the
state. The two teams met once
before this season on the Sparta
grounds and the result was a
tie, although the honors Of the
game were considered as going
to Sparta. Since then both teams
have continued their tour of tri-
umphs and a game between them
is counted on to be one Of
the best seen in the state.
Sparta and Oshkosh are now the
only unbeaten teams in the state
Where is La Crosse, anyway, thai
it has not heard of the recor lmade
by Grand Rapids. Or, is it po =jble
that the defeat handed to the Ii
Crosse team by Grand Rapid. has
caused a varying of the brain O.
the person who wrote the above
clipping? At any rate, the cores
pendent from La Crosse has no
been a close follower Of the football
situation or he never would have
been guilty of such ignorance as is
shown in his communication.

FOOTBALL At
SPARTASATURDAy
Grand Rapids Highs Will Play
Sparta at Sparta Saturday,
For State Championship.

The Marinette paper was right
when it said Oshkosh had cold feet.
An effort was made by the local Of
ficials 10 get game with Oshkosh
for Saturday. Oshkosh first said
that it was to play Sparta at Eau
Claire. Sparta denied this deal.
Oshkosh then said it had arranged
to play Marquette Academy. 1t has
been learned since that arrangements
were not completed for the Mar
quette Academy game. Why should
Oshkosh refuse to play a high
school contender for state honors
Oshkosh by refusing to play and TAX
ing on an academy team certainly
forfeits all rights to championship
claims
Grand Rapids officials also tried
to get a game with Marinette, but
Marinette considers its team out
of the running in as much as Ash
land held Marinette to tie and
Ashland was then defeated by Osh-
kosh. The Rapids officials finally
closed with Sparta for a game on
Saturday. 1t seems logical to con
slider this the game that will decide
the state title. Marinette is out OF
the rase, Chippewa Falls is out OF
the race, Oshkosh has forfeited its
right to consideration which leaves
Sparta and Grand Rapids as sole con
lenders. hts going to be a good
same. The Rapids team is in fair.
ly good condition and ready for q
| hard fast battle. Sparta has a
wonderfully fast team. With the rec
ords both teams have made it will
be no discredit to the team losing
this game, for both have had a HARD
! season, played many games ant
/ neither team has had its goal line
crossed, May the best team win
We hope the Rapids team will come
home victorious.

He Jumps on Angry Deer's Back
After Missing His Shot.
Kingston, Nov. 19.-Vernon Rider
of this town, had a thrilling adven-
ture while hunting deer yesterday,
when he rode nine miles through the
dense forest on the back of an en-
ragged buck
After following the animal for sew
eraI hours Rider got a shot at the
buck and missed. The deer was in
an open space and charged. Rider
did not dare run and stood for the
buck, which rushed head down at
him
To keep from being gored, Rider
seized the enraged animal by the
antIers and the deer's head in ris-
ing threw the hunter astride the back
Locking his feet under the stomach
of the buck Rider held on to the
antlers.
The buck plunged into the forest
and as Rider could not let so his
hold he was carried, as near as he
could estimate, about nine miles.
The Infatuated animal tried to throw
the unwelcome rider and brushed
! against trees and rocks. Riders
clothes were torn to shreds, but he
held fast
Peter B. Markle an old hunter,
saw the deer coming with Rider
and he fired a heavy ball through
the animals fore sohulder. The bucl
fell and Rider landed in the branches

new BRIDGE
ACROSS RIVER
New State Law Says City Need
Pay But TW0-Fifths of Cost.
Now Time to Consider Propo-
Siti0n.

From time to time remarks are
heard regarding the necessity of a
new traffic bridge across the river
Some suggest the building of a new
bridge in some different location !;
others that the present bridge be
taken down and a new one erected
on its site. Some think that the
street railway company ought to
build a bridge and bring its lines
across the river.
Now is the time to agitate the
subject of a new bridge If any
action is to be taken, now is the
time to start it, for the reason that
the city will have to vote a special
levy of taxes or abond issue to
cover the city's share in the con
struction of the bridge. The time
to vote on this proposition without
putting the city to extra expense
is at the coming spring election.
According to a bill which passed
the legislature at the last session
Chapter CPS of the laws of 1913, sec
ton 1921, the city can secure state
aid in the erection of a bridge. Here
is the essential parts of this law:
8. Whenever any town, village
or city shall vote in favor Of
constructing such bridge either
| alone or in conjunction with an
other town, village or city, the
county in which such town, vii
| lage or city is located, the said
| municipalities and the state.
shall pay for the construction
Of such bridge as follows: pro-
vided. however, that state aid
shall be extended in construct
ing not more than six such
bridges in one year.
(a) When located wholly with
In the city alone* *such city
shall pay two-fifths thereof.
(b) The county shall in all
cases pay tWo-fifths of such cost.
Co The state shall in all
cases pay one-fifth Of the cost
of constructing such bridges.
The common councils of any
city* = *are authorized and en-
powered to build, purchase and
maintain or to aid in building,
purchasing or maintaining a
bridge across such stream, pro-
vided that such city* *shall
have previously voted to levy and
| collect a tax or to issue bonds
for such purpose.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

Eby local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that IS
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO It's
normal condition, hearing viii be destroyed
