"A drop in temperature below the
freezing point Friday and Saturday
nights has, it is feared, done some in
jury to fruit prospects, as the shrubs
and trees were in full bloom. 1t is
difficult to tell yet just to what extent.
The present legislature has been
changing the fish and game laws again.

ing the annual meeting a summarized

What Edgerton most needs now is
fifty small houses that will rent for
moderate prices. The demand for
houses this spring is greater than for
several years past. Living rooms in
one tenant house recently vacated had
nineteen applicants. There are num-
Der of families that desire to move to
this city if they could only find suitable
quarters to rent. What we want is
men of capital to build more houses in
Edgerton and we must have them if we
continue to grow.

the game. The city team, which is
only getting we'll organized FOR the
season, were gallant enough to lose by
a score of 7 to 5. Gerald Whitford is
manager of the local team and hopes
to put strong combination in the field
worthy of local patronage.

acy. 1t is expected that all of the
friends of Billy Sullivan will be in
Watertown on the 23rd. Convenient
connections can be made at Milton
Junction so that Edgerton people can
easily make the trip.

dents is already at hand and newspap-
ers will be called upon to chronicle
many mishaps. Hence the necessity
for observing road rules and speed
regulations that as many as possible
may be avoided. Last Sunday evening
as Leon Ellingson, accompanied by
Rollin Hanson, Geo. Haylock and Chris
Nelson, were returning from trip to
Jefferson the steering gear of the Ford
car they were riding in broke as they
were coming down hill at fair gait
near the county house and struck sec
