REAL MUSIC PLEASES
AUDIENCES

Mr.. John Howard has the fol-
lowing to say regarding audiences
in Wisconsin. Mr.. Howard h S
just returned from a concert trip
Cor the U. of w. Extension and is
highly pleased with the apprecia-
ton Of the people for better music.
"The Wisconsin audiences love
real music-quality music. They
appreciate the efforts of standard
composers, and are most attentive
during the rendition OF the diff
cult works. The responsiv of
the audiences makes one feel that
they really enjoy and crave better
music, and after our experiment
it is safe to say that only the best
programs should be given"
The Howard Concert Co. have
completed a successful season for
the Extension Department of the
University of Wisconsin and have
returned home.
The Company, consisting of Mr..
and Mrs. Howard, and Miss Mary
E. Willett of springfield, ILL.,, ap-
peared in twenty-nine Wisconsin
| towns on the lecture courses.
From reports received at the U.
office, the company has been a
popular one, and has pleased in
every instance. This is the How
ard Company's third season and it
is worthy of note, that they have
been invited to consider a more
elaborate proposition for another
year.

SO given out, Glenwood City re-

Captain Bethel gave a neat tribute

WAYS TO AID POTATO CROP
WHAT CLEAN SEED WILL 90

An organized movement is nov
on in Wisconsin to secure the coop
Grafton of growers in the planting
Of only clean potatoes. The soils OF
Wisconsin have not been found tc
BE- in any way affected with such
dangers as black wart and powdery
scab and leaders in this campaign
are determined, if possible, to keep
such diseases out of the state.
But in common with every other
large potato producing center of the
country, Wisconsin growers have
certain minor difficulties with which
to contend. Certain of these, how
ever, can be eliminated by careful
field selection or "rogueing," and
by bin sorting,
Asthe planting season approaches
it is therefore highly desirable that
every grower determine whether his
stock meets tina present standard,
which can be met in part at least
by proper selection.
A number of Wisconsin potato
growers have received certificates of
inspection made under the direction
Of the College of Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin. 1t is very
important that, ifpossible, this seed
stock be retained in Wisconsin for
planting.
Attention to this matter at this
time is especially importont in the
centers where community organiza-
ton is being pushed. Those desir-
ing further information should write
ct once to the College Of Agriculture
Madison. Later on the best stock
will be sold.

LITTLE TALKS TO
HOUSEKEEPERS

While individual comfort must
be the determining factor in pur-
chasing shoes, yet there are few
general rules of some aid in secur-
ing that comfort" thinks Miss An
nabell Turner, instructor in home
economies, University of WiscOn-
sin Extention division.
The natural lines of the foot are
graceful and beautiful, and this ma
tural shape should not be lost sight
OF in selecting shoes. The large
toe is usually longer than the 9TH
er, and instead of running straight
ahead, as in the so called ana
tomicap shoes, slopes slightly
The shoe should therefore be some
what pointed, slanting from both
sides toward the center with the in
ner slant very slight.
Time spent in the shop securing
2 perfect fit on shoes is time we'll
spent, for discomfort always means
lowered efficiency and degree of
nervous strain. Laced shoes can
be more readily adjusted and SO are
often preferred to the buttoned style
If the buttons are properly placed
when the shoe is purchased how
ever, or after it has been worn a
few days, buttoned shoes may be
very satisfactory for the normal in
individual.
The close fitting, extre m ely
pointed toed shoes with the absurd
French heels can not be too strongly
condemned. Very high heels are es
pecially harmful to the young, as
they throw the body out of correct
position and hinder its proper de,
velCpment. The matter of wearing
low shoes in cold weather should be
noted too. 1t is important that the
feet be kept warm and dry, as chilled
feet are frequently responsible fol
numerous ills.
Experience with large variety
of materials has shown leather &c
be the best for all-around use II is
tough, flexible, porous, reasonably
waterproof, and permits a moder'
ate degree of ventilation. 1t is not
ideal, because it retains heat and
perspiration to an undesirable de.
gree, has an unpleasant ordor, and
cannot be kept clean, to say nothing
of sterile. The same pair of shoes
should not be worn constantly, since
they do not become thoroughly aired
and dried out during the night
and it is more economical to have
two pairs of shoes for ordinary
wear and change frequently"

Prescott won from River Falls, 33
to q.
Saturday afternoon Ellsworth
and Prescott played for the cham
pionship There was no doubt in
the minds of those who had wit
messed the games but that these
tvs teams were the rightfull con-
tenders. They had the others far
outclassed, and were as evenly
m c h e d as any two teams
could possibly be. Prescott was a
twd-man team-Leseman n q
Bethel being lone stars of the ag-
gregation. Ellsworth had develop
ed a system Of team work that
included every man on the quint,
and they had their team work
drilled into machine like precision.
1t was a great game-rea1 bask-
etball from start to finish - q
although both teams played des-
perately to win there wasn't even
a suggestion Of personal animos-
itv displayed by any of the play
ers. The crowd which packed the
sidelines and gallery was in fever
Of excitement from whistle to
whistle, and the continuous cheer
ing was deafening. The fans ap-
peared equally divided, with per-
haps a shade more favoring Pres
colt, probably on account of the
strenuous schedule this team had
gone through.
Several minutes of the first half
went scoreless, until finally Corn
man scored the first tally for ELS
worth "a neat field shot from near
the sidelines. Vezina scored a
free throw. Bethel missed two
free shots. Sanderson scored and
on the tOss-up Leseman took a
neat pass and brought Prescott in
to the scoring. Vezina and Lese-
man alternately made two bask-
cts each. Vezina missed a free
throw and Bethel made long
pass to Leseman who scored from
under the basket. Sanderson
scored three field goals in but lit
tie over a minute. Vezina added
two points on free throws. Lese-
man scored the last point of the
half just as the whistle blew.

Vezina and Leseman both missed
couple of free throws at tn e
opening of the second period. Lese-

The success of the team was due

Morrow, running gaurd, scored
more points than his opponent

two games, the least number that
Leseman has been held down to.
The other two members of the reg

 Tomorrow will be the thirty-sev- enth birthday of Joseph F. Hagan, who was known during his long and distinguished ring career as Phila delphia Jack O'Brien At one time Jack claimed the middleWeight title, and later he entered the heavyweight ranks, although he was never very much above the middleweight limit Jack was the principal rival of Tommy Burns for the honors vacated by Jeffries, and fought the Canadian twenty rounds to a draw at Los An gelcs in 1906. The following year he fought Tommy again and lost the decision in twenty rounds. O'Brien' $ ring career covered over fifteen years and he is still able to put up a good bout with the gloves.

WINS SERIES. LOSES BRIDE.
Hank Gowdy's Best Gal Is Peeved
 Because of NotOriety.

kokomo, Ind, Jan. 16.--It's all off between Miss Ethel Clark of Chicago and Hank Gowdy, the star Boston catcher. The breaking of the engage ment by Miss Clark, who is visiting friends here, was due to a story cir culated during the Worlds series to the effect that she had promised to become Mrs. GoWdy providing the player distinguished himself in the series.
 The unWelcOme notoriety which ac- companed the story aroused Miss Clark that she forthwith ruled Gowdv out at home and busted up the game. She refused to discuss the breaking of the engagement beyond saying that there was no chance for Gowdy. She still wears an engagement ring and when it was hinted that there might be a reconciliation she only smiled and shook her head.
