 TO RIBBONS IN
 EXCITING MATCH

In order to square themselves for their recent deeat at the hands of the Knickerbockers, the Blue Ribbon bas- ketba1l stars beat the Hoboken five at Colonial hall last night by 48 to 37. It was not as sensational as the re- cent KrIckerbocker game, but was a fast exhibition nevertheless, and the crowd enjoyed it, particularly in the final minutes.
 It was close in the inst half with the visitors taking the. lead until the last part Of the period when Stow and Morrison got busy for the locals When the first half ended. the Rib bons had a slender lead of IS to Is. In the second session the Ribbons drew rapidly ahead, but the Hoboken boys were always dangerous.

BOXING NOTES
Rv T S Andrews !

fBy T. S. Andrews
 Johnny Summers, the former well one of the really good boys sent over from the tight little isle several years ago, seems to be about all in. A few nights ago in Melbourne, Australia, Summers fought a young lightweight named Ali Mercy and from the ac- counts of the battle Johnny. fou1ed his man number of times He was disqualified in the seventh round for fouling and losing his temper, Johnny hit the referee.
 No matter what thes decision might be it was foolish on the part of Sum mers to strike the official and the chances are that he will get no more fights in that country. Only a short time before Summers had been knock ed out in one round by Tom McCor- mick, the Britisher who now claims the we1ferweight, title, and two weeks before that Mccormick had beaten him on points. All this seems to have worked Johnny'ss nerves. Four years ago Summers was in Aus tra1ia and put up some wonderful battles against the best men available and he went back to England where he fought more good battles, but of late he has apparently gone back fast and now seems at the end of his ca reer.
 
 sporting news to London papers sent the following regarding the recent battle between Wolgast and Rivers in Milwaukee,: e.Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers at ten rounds drew a gore seeking crowd which got it's moneys worth. A slam bang. not staged since the I'm not human Battling Nelson held the spot light The referee did not exist. Wolgast charged with head down, arms wrapped around body, letting himself be hammered, hoping to land one some time. What a ghast1y exhibition of boxing. Yet the public like it and pay for ft.''
 Hod the writer witnessed the bout he might have changed his mind about the gore seeking crowd and ghastly exhibition. It is certain the crowd got it's moneys worth and no mistake and there is not a fan who at tended the bout who would not pay the price to see the fight over again It was a battle worth seeing and the kind the fans are always willing to pay for. The only kick about the whole affair is that we do not have more of the same kind.

A WONDERFUL STATE"

Green Bay Gazette: People of Wis
consin hardly appreciate how great and
wonderful state they have until they
travel over its territory, see it's great
fields golden with grain and it's many
factories making useful implements of
many kinds
The county fairs held recently in
many counties reveal to the visitor
some idea of the great strides Wiscon-
sin has made in agriculture, for the ex-
hibits include almost every article of
produce, so varied and so fertile is our
soil. The farmer in this state is not
confined to one or two crops, but can
rotate his production, keeping his soil
rich year after year, and yet make rich
returns, which amply repay his labor.
Much improvement is yet possible,
for science is showing the way to Sc
cure more grain to the acre and more
potatoes to the tract, with little in
creased cost. The cost of living de-
mands the utilization of every possible
resource, and agriculturists will find
ample recompense for using modern
systems on the farm instead of letting
the fields go to waste.
Half billion dollars, it is estimated,
will be the income of the farmers from
crops in this state, this fall; an enor-
nous sum we'll earned. 1t could only
be obtained in a commonwealth where
the soil and climate and markets are
ideal We have The rain and sunshine
so regular that crop failures are al
most unknown.
And yet some discontents occasional
ly stray to far-off northwestern Cana
da, to their ultimate regret.

WHO GETS The MONEY NOW
PAID FOR BUTTER?

few very real reasons for some of
the high cost of living likely will be
given next spring when the butter in
designations being made by the United
States department of agriculture and
the college of agriculture of the uni
versity of Wisconsin will be com
pleted.
The work is in charge of the depart
ment of agricultural economics, and
the movements an the great butter dis
tricts of southern Wisconsin and north
ern lllionis, centering at Elgin, will be
the subject of the main investigations
Every step in the transfer of butter
from the farm to the consumer by
way of the creamery, wholesaler,
transportation company, boards of
trade and other incidental factors in
fixing the final price, will be carefully
considered, Incidentally the creamery
industry, as separate unit in the
chain, will be examined.
This investigation together with a
similar one now in progress by the
Minnesota college of agriculture are
the. first and only ones of thsir kind TO
be made in the middle west. The re-
suits should be exceedingly interesting
and valuable alike to farmers, city
jewellers and creamery operators.

FARM FACTS

Agriculture needs all the great men
it can get.
In union there is strength and in CO.
operation there is profit.
The farmer can neither help himself
nor be helped by others until he or
ganizes.
The economic distribution of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem.
Our transportation systems are the
dray carts of agriculture and oan be
made capable psddlers of farm prod
ucts.
The middleman is nothidg more thau
a farm hand, but he is able to fix his
own wages and to collect them, and to
multiply his transaction as he pleases.
Bumper crops without market facil-
tiles have sent more farmers stagger-
ing down The back alleys of agricul-
ture than all the pests and droughts
that ever cursed the nation.

VOTE FOR
John W. Reynolds
Republican Candidate
FOR CONGRESS

John W. Reynolds, Republican can
didate for Congress, commenced his
fall campaign for the November cleo
tion September oath ID Langlade coun-
ty. One day later, on September "a,
his opponent commenced his campaign
at Casco, Kewaunee county. Since
that time each has presented hisviews
to the voters.
John Reynolds has visited nearly all
the voting precincts of the district and
the voters know how he stands on the
public questions they are interested
in. He is opposed to the pork barrel
and war-tax measure, but is a believer
in the policy of peace, and, like many
independent Republicans from Wiscon-
sin, he would have supported the Pres
ident's peace policy had he been in
congress.
He is running for congress on his
own record and reputation, and is look
ing to the voters, some of whom have
known him since boyhood and others
who met him when he was teaching
school, canvassing and practioing law
in various parts Of the district, to send
him to congress.

A BAD MIX-UP

In handling the slugs which make up
the lines in newspaper, and ir sepa-
rating the various items, the make up
man sometimes gets the lines mixed up
and they naturally read rather queer
AS an illustration of what can happen
we cite the mlxup of the Bangor (Pa.)
News recently when the printer got a
wedding and an aurtion sale mixed up
with the following results
civilian Smith, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph smith, and Miss Lucy
Anderson were disposed of at public
auction at my farm one mile east in the
presence of 70 guests including mules
and IL heud of cattle. Rev. Jackson
tied the nuptial knot for the parties
averaging 1850 lbs on hoof. The beau
tiful home of the bride was decorated
with one sulky rake, one feed grinder
and two sets of work harness, nearly
new, and just before the ceremony was
pronounced the wedding march was
rendered by one mich COW five years
old, one jersey COW and one sheep who
carrying bunch of brides roses in her
hand was very beautiful. She wore one
light spring wagon, two crates of ap-
pies, three stacks of hay. one grind
stone of mousseline de sole and trim
med with about 100 bushel of potatoes.
The bridal couple LETT yesterday on an

THE TOWN PUMP

A good place to feel the pulse of civ
ic life is at the public drinking trough.
The ebb and flow of animal life as it
quenches it's thirst at the public foun-
tain gives one an estimate of the
wealth, population and prosperity of
the community; the character, habits
and occupations of it's people and the
utility, pleasure and hardships Of its
citizens There is no better place to
study the progress of community
than at the town pump.
Every village in Wisconsin should
have town pump and every city with
waterworks should have a drinking
fountain where a stream of pure run
ming water freely dispenses Adams ale
to the thirsty populace. Pure water
and plenty of it is good community
builder.

HARDLY

The Shawano Journal has an attack
of pessimism over railroad work in this
state
"We notice in several of our eX-
changes accounts of the Wisconsin &
Northern railroad buying up options
on land up Brandon way, and each pa
per that publishes the account adds a
hint that in the near future there may
be something doing in the way of rail-
road extention.
"Well, we have no inside informa-
ton on the subject, but we are willing
to wager our new dog against litter
of kittens that there will be no build
ing of railways anywhere except in
places where they are absolutely nee
essary, until legislation lets up on the
railway companies a little bit and
gives them chance for themselves.
Men are not going to put their hard
earned cash into railroad building just
to see the wheels go round. When men
invest their real coin they want to
have some insurance that they will get
it back. With a war tax imminent
with money getting hard to borrow
With the trend of legislation putting
more and more limitations on railway
| activities, y on may just mark it IL
your hat that there is DO immediate
likelihood of any railroad building fol
some time to come"
