NEW CREAMERY OPENED

River Falls new $4,000 creamery
plant was opened for business
Monday and in the first two days
$500 pounds of butter were made.
State Inspector Cooke pronounced
this the most sanitary and up-tc-
date creamery in his territory. He
made especial mention of the test
ing room, which is the best light
ed of any he has seen; and light
and cleanliness are the chief es-
sentials for that department of
the work.
Butter from the River Falls Co
operative creamery is looked upon
with great favor by. the New York
markets, and the demand is ever
for more. The institution is in
deed fortunate in having such a
capable man as Mr.. ColWell as
butter maker. His product has
won first medals wherever dis
played 1t is famous for it's ex-
cellent quality. Assisting Mr.. Col
we'll are Russell Livingstone and
Albert Marcott. Louis Wiggin is
book-keeper and tester.
The creamery now has over two
hundred patrons. 1t is great
thing for the farmers of this vic
Unity. 1t keeps the price Of their
product up and provides a con-
slant market. With the new
equipment it can handle double
it's present patronage, or even
more, and the farmers should not
fail to take advantage of this op-
pOrtunity now open to them.
An electric motor supplies pow
er for operating the machinery of
the plant. A thirty-horse-power
boiler provides steam and hot Wa
ter for washing and for the heat
ing of both the creamery and the
laundry, the latter to be connected
up with the boiler as soon as the
equipment is installed.
The buildings refrigerator room
will store over a carload of butter
and at least three hundred gal
Ions of ice cream. 1t is built to
accommodate a refrigerating mach
inc, and one will probably be in
stalled there in the future.
In the basement there is ample
store room for pals, tubs, etc. An
elevator runs from the basement
to the half story room above the
ground floor. On this upper floor
are the butter milk watts. Hot
and cold water is easily accessible
for washing these, as we'll as all
other watts, tubs, cream cans, ETC.,
in the plant.
The butter and ice sream bust
ness of the River Falls Co-opera-
tive creamery has increased great
ly in the past year, and with the
new building and modern equip
ment it will increase at an even
faster rate in the future. It's a
good thing, boost it along.

SEN. SKOGM0 ENDORSES
MORRIS

Fair Oaks, Wis.-That Thomas
Morris is the only progressive re-
publican candidate for the United
States senate, and that the nation
al policies of each of his oppOn-
ents are opposed to progressive
republican principles, were state
ments of Senator George B. Skog-
mo of River Falls at a meeting of
progressive republicans here last
night. The meeting was held in
a Scandinavian section and Sena-
tor Skogmo advised his country
men that only by voting for the
nomination of Tom Morris could
they support the progressive pol
icies that the Scandinavians have
made possible in Wisconsin.
"It is a pleasure to be counted
aB friend of a man of the states
manlike calibre of Tom Morris"
said Senator Skogmo. "He has
for many years faithfully served
the state of Wisconsin and it's peo-
pie, his first thought being always
to promote the welfare of the
state and the best interests of her
people. His part in the progress
i've movement and his long service
as normal school regent, and
his public support of the common
schools prove his thorough loyal
ty to the highest American ideals.

gressive republican policy in ma

Speaking of bombardments,
how'd you like to have been down
at the electric plant during the
thunder storm Saturday night?
Bolt after bolt of lightning came
in over the wires, and balls of fire
shot about the floor and to and
fro between the switch boards and
machines. One bolt demolished
the lightning arrester which pro-
tected the "feed" from the low
er plant, and the south "phazen
which controls the lights from
Walnut street south, was put out
of commission. The insulation and
oil in the rear of the big switch
boards caught fire and the blaze
was extinguished with difficulty
and at great risk to Mr.. Renter,
the operator. In fact, Mr.. Renters
escape from death was miraculous,
as in throwing water onto the
wires, charged With high voltage,
he ran a great risk of the current
following the water back and cleo
tricuting him. Lights were out on
Main street from Walnut street
south, and also in a number of
other places where fuses had
been blown out by the lightning
The storm started about 8 80 in
the evening, and the stores were
crowded with shoppers. Candles
and oil lamps were substituted
during the remainder of the even
ing. The damage at the plant
was repaired early Sunday morn
ing.

II war was we'll. er war, in
Sherman's time, what must it be
now. Just for instance-then they
used muzzel-loading guns, of COM
paritively short range; now two
men can operate an automatic rifle
that will shoot 1000 shots min
ute, and the bullets will find a
mark three miles away. That's
just in the infantry; there are also
machine guns, air ship bombs, and
so on. And the men "behind the
guns" were merchants, doctors,
farmers, ETC., before they went in
to the numbering business. They
have no personal enmity against
the men so called their foes. In
fact, they could have one grand
and enjoyable picnic festival there
together, but their rulers, lusting
for gain and glory command them
to murder. And the rulers pro-
badly wouldn't be considered as
very great "risks" by life insur-
ance companies either.

written for a play writing con-
test, that won success. Under the
title of sNevermore," Campbell B.
Casad, it's author, submitted it in
a contest at the New Theatre in

play received unusual attention
from the Judges in the contest,
for it contained the merit to draw
this attention. So loudly praised
was the piece by the judges that
the author submitted it to Dave

worth, and before many days
Mr.. Lewis was using it at the

1t will be interesting to the old
time, Glenwood friends of F. p.
Ainsworth, for about ten years en-
gagged in the banking business
here, to learn that as receiver act
ing for the state banking depart
ment, under the designation of
special deputy commissioner, he
recently completed the liquidation
of the Bank of Clear Lake, which
institution reopened it's doors on
the morning of Aug. IL, in shape
to pay it's depositors 100 cents on
the dollar and having about two
dollars of assets to every dollar
of indebtedness. For fourty-four
months Mr.. Ainsworth has labored
in the interest of the banks de-
positors and other creditors, TAX
ing only a modest compensation
for his work (only thirty-three
and one-third per cent, in fact, OF
what he might have legally charg-
ed, and keeping attorneys fees
down to the minimum. What he
has accomplished is eminently to
our former townsman's credit, not
~only as to his ability, but as to his
sterling and uncompromising hon
esty as well. The depositors Of
the Bank of Clear Lake may well
be thankful that the liquidation
of it's affairs was in the hands Of
a man of Mr.. Ainsworth's rugged
dependability. In this connection
it is not amiss to say that Mr.
Ainsworth had the legal advice
and assistance of Hon. O. w. Arm
quist, of Hudson, during his adj
ministration of the banks affairs,
than whom no better or safer man
could have been selected. This
case impresses The Tribune afresh
with the fact that what We need
to safeguard the public interest is
not new laws, but ruggedly honest
officials to act under the laws
which we now have and have had
for some time past.-Glenwood

CORNER BALL
A DEAD GAME
Used to Be Great Sport in the
Rural Districts Here
abOutS
BALLS HOME MADE
AND CARRIED KICK

In glimpsing over the list Of sports
employed Tor amusement a number
Of years back. there is one game. cor
ner ball al one time the leading
pastime in the rural districts, which
has become a thing of the past. II
was not many years ago that all over
Wilmington and surrounding counties
that corner ball was played and a
public sale was not complete without
IT, Should an attempt be made to
get the game back into the promi-
nence Il held at one time, there would
be found but a very few OF the old
players who are able TO take an ac-
tive part in the game and to get the
young men of the present day to in
dulge In the game and endure some
Of the "spasm" caused by being hit
by corner BALI would be a hard
matter
In years OF it's popularity corner
ball was a feature of every sale at a
farm house and the interest taken in
IL was as great and in some instances
greater than in baseball at the pres
ent time. The players would arrive
at the farm house where the sale was
to take place early in the morning
Although no game was prearranged,
the players in each locality had their
rivals who would always be on hand
ready to give battle. Four fence
rails were spread. usually in the
barnyard, to form the corners about
the pot for the game and there was
always a supply of balls on hand
from which the contestants could
choose. their choice most always be-
ing the one that was the hardest
and the one that would do the most
damage
All the balls used for the game
were homemade and the best we're
made by wrapping a heavy bullet in
paper and then covering il with sew
eral wrappings of yarn. A stout
leather cover was sewed on and then
the ball was placed to soak IN water
over night after which it was tossed
vigorously against building. This
reduced the paper to powder and
left the bullet loose In a cavity. The
leather cover was then oiled and TO
all appearances the ball was harmless.
But when a player was struck good
and fair by such ball II carried a
kick" as can be testified to by any
Of the old players. When the ball
landed there was an awful sting. the
bullet in the interior being driven at
an almost terrific force and rebound
ing would give a dOuhle-kick TO the
unfortunate. II was very often the
case that a player was bruised to
such an extent that he was unable to
walk home and some OF them suf-
lered pains for days
The game was froquaotly used
Friday afternoons at the country
schools also in those days corner ball
was labeled as a sport. but Il would
be difficult TO find eight young men
at the present time to get into a ring
and be the target OF men who could
throw with the speed Of Walter John
son or Eddie Plank
Another game that was played by
pupils in the rural schools was call
cd "tickleover,' In which side was
formed on each side OF school
house. The ball was tossed over the
top and the man who caught it made
a rush for the opposite side and
Soaked any one within reach"
