few CONTRACTS SIGNED NOW
Producers After All Day Meeting in
Chicago Declare They Will Stick to
Demand They Have Made That
Wholesalers Name Lower Price.

A price war between the Milk Pro-
ducers' association and the Borden
Condensed Milk company, Bowman
Dairy company and other wholesalers,
which may cause a temporary short
age of milk in Chicago, has been de-
clared The farmers in Kenosha
county and other parts of the Chicago
district, have demanded an increase
in the prices paid them amounting to
practically ten cents a hundred pounds,
while the wholesalers are standing
pat" and today issued their summer
price lists with exactly the same
figures paid year ago.
An all day meeting of the milk
board. of the Milk Producers associ-
alton was held in Chicago on Wednes-
day where the following summer
schedule of prices was determined up
on: April, $1.65; May, $1.45; June,
$1.25; July, $1.55; August, $1.7o;
September, $1.70; average, $1.55.
While the farmers were drafting
their demands the wholesalers issued
their summer schedules and started
out to sign up the farmer to contracts
at these figures.
Borden s schedule is as follows:
April, $1.45; May, $1.2O; June, $1.o4;
July, $1.30; August, $3.50; Septem-
Der, $1.50; average, $1.33 1-6.
Bowman s schedule: April, $1.52;
May, $1.27; June, Sly; July, $1.37;
August, $.162; September, $1.62;
average, $1.42 Sc.
eve will tie Bowman up tight, !"
said w. j. Kittle, secretary of the
Producers association. FThe farm
ers will not sign his schedule. The
fight with Borden will be much hard
er, but we believe we can control not
less than nine of his big producing
centers. These are Woodstock, Maren-
go, Dundee, Huntley, Algonquin, Al
den, Hebron, Genoa Junction and
McHenry.
Some time ago R. B. Swift, presi-
dent of this association, wrote all t. y
wholesalers, asking for conference
regarding prices, but his letter was
ignored by all except Jelke. The fact
is that the $4,000 farmers in this. dis
trict sell approximately 100000
quarts daily, for which they are paid
$4,000 The wholesalers retail this
milk for $4,000 daily. AS there is
a scarcity of milk, we demand better
prices ,and I believe we can get them. y
The big milk buyers are not worry
ing over the efforts Of the farmers,
according to John j. Fitzpatrick,
superintendent of Borden s.
Farmers in our districts are sign
ing up fast, and within a day or two
we will have plenty Of milk contracted
for" he said. Given though some
producers hold out there will be no
boost in the retail price,. F."

vice president Of the militant farmers
organization. It is declared that no
contracts have been signed in this
county.

Sister Laura Of Kemper Hall
Died at Pennoyer SAM
tarium Today After Five
Weeks Illness.
LONG MEMBER OF SISTERHOOD
(From Thursdays Daily


Sister Laura, the oldest and one of
the best known Of the members of the
Community of the Sisters Of ST. Mary
in charge of Kemper Hall, died at the
Pennoyer Sanitarium this morning fol
lowing a short illness from organic
heart disease. Sister Laura had been
i'll for the past five weeks. Her death
has brought great sorrow to Kemper
Hall and to the hundreds of people
in Kenosha who have been intimate
ly connected with the work of the
lake shore school,
Sister Laura was born Laura
Thompson and she was native of
New Foundland where she was born
about seventy years ago. Her father
was one Of the most influential men
of the province. Early in life Sister
Laura became deeply interested in the
work of the church and she was among
the first of the devoted women who
consecrated their lives to the work of
the church at the Mother House of
the Sisters of St. Mary at Peekskill
New York. She came west to Kemper
Hall nearly twenty years ago and
since that time she had been connect
ed with the work of the hail. She
was SO completely in touch with the
human side of life that she was a great
favorite with hundreds of the young
women who have been educated at
Kemper Hall. Her religion was of a
cheerful kind which appealed and APP
pealed deeply to the young.
While she never came into touch
with the young women as teacher
her life had proven model which
many who had known and loved her
had sought to attain. Her work at
the hall was but a small part of her
life's work. She was much given to
charity and friendly visiting and her
kindly ministrations had been a matter
of keen pleasure to many people in
Kenosha. She radiated the cheerful
ness of a devoted Christian life at
all times and she carried this cheer
fulness into many homes in Kenosha.
In these homes the announcement of
her death comes as a personal sorrow.
Although she had lived in Kenosha
for many years her private life had
not been revealed to even her closest
associates and she found enough of
pleasure in her work to cause her to
be entirely forgetful of self.
Sister Laura during the twenty
years that she was at Kemper Hall
was connected with all of the activi-
ties of the Sisters of st. Mary, but
her work was especially of devo-
tional nature.
Impressive funeral services for Sister
Laura Of the Community of the Sisters
of st. Mary were conducted in St.
Peters chapel in Kemper hall Saturday
morning. by the Rt. Rev. Walter Will
liam Webb, bishop of the diocese of
Milwaukee, assisted by the Rev. Fred
erick L. Maryon, chaplain of Kemper
hall. A number of other clergy from
Chicago and Milwaukee were in attend
ance. The chapel was filed, largely
with Kenosha friends of the late sis
ter, and members of her family. Spe-
cial music was sung by the chapel
choir under the direction Of Sister
Mary Adelaide. The remains were
laid to rest in Green Ridge cemetery.

WOMEN WOULD BEAR SHARE
Petition Asks That Interest Be Paid by
Raising Saloon License Fee and by
Assessing Toll Taxes Against Both
Men and Women of the Town.

They are talking bonds out on the
prairie. In fact, the town Of Pleasant
Prairie is aroused with new fever
for good roads and the plan that is
now being considered contemplates an
issue of bonds to the amount Of forty
thousand dollars to provide for the
completion Of work on several roads
which have been set aside as state
roads. A petition is now being cir
culated under the direction Of a new
Good Roads club, organized in the
town and the furthering of the ends
Of this petition was taken up at a
meeting held at the town hall this
afternoon
The men who are backing the move
ment are especially interested in the
Improvement of the Milwaukee road
through Pleasant Prairie and the CON
creting Of the Wilmot road from the
Tavern to the village Of Pleasant
Prairie and through this village to the
Bristol town line. The petition has
been signed by scores of tax payers
in the town and it is expected to be
acted on at the coming town meeting
in April. The petition has nothing to
Go with the proposed improvement of
the Sheridan road, but the members
of the club are insistent in the decla-
ration that they will in no way op-
pose the improvement of this road or
the levy of tax against the people
Of the town for such an Improvement.
The plan proposed in the petition
provides for the forty thousand dol
lar bond issue with the understanding
that the principal of these bonds is to
be paid out of the general funds of
the town. In order to meet the in
terest payments the men urging the
plan have signifed their willingness
to have the town board increase the
saloon license fee from four hundred
to five hundred dollars and to levy a
poll tax against all people between
the ages of twenty one and forty five
to the amount of a dollar a year. The
petition provides that this poll tax be
levied against both men and women
and in this it is decidedly unique. 1t
is claimed chat many of the women Of
the town have signed the petition to
show their willingness to make some
annual contribution for the improve
ment of the roads Of the town.
In addition to the increase of the
saloon license and the poll tax the
petition asks that tax be levied on
all dogs owned in Pleasant Prairie
and that this also go into the fund
for the road work. The plan outlined
would provide for the Improvement of
seven and half miles Of road, ex-
elusive of the Sheridan Road.
It is the plan of the promoters of
the new plan to have this road work
done during the present year. The
movement is not one which is support
ed by the entire town, but it has a big
following and it is expected that it will
be one of he real issues in the coming
town election in Pleasant Prairie.

Bismarck made it three straight
from Cando in their series of games
for the state championship, on the
local diamond last evening, by win
ming the third and last contest, 7 to
6. The game yesterday was prob
ably the best of the three played by
these two mines and both aggrega-
tons exhibited real class. The game
was called in the seventh, owing to
darkness.
The locals unquestionably demon
strated their superiority over the fast
Cando team during the past three
days and outclassed them in every
department Of the game. Especially
were Manager Kinks speed demons
superior with the big stick and they
found no difficulty in connecting for
hits when they meant runs.
By defeating Cando three straight,
the Capital City lays claim to the
state championship and stands ready
and willing to back up its claims by
playing any and all Corners.
Heavy hitting was the feature of
the game yesterday and, though the
visitors secured one more safety than
the home guard, they failed to get in
when the water was good. Bismarck
clouted the pill and clouted it hard
and at no stage of the game were
they in danger. In the third Cando
scored four in rapid succession by
clean hitting, hut Dolly" Elder and
his crew came right back and sent
six across before the visitors could
quell the trouble.
Christianson started on the mound
for Bismarck, but was replaced by
Taylor in the fifth. Taylor pitched ex-
cellent ball and pulled himself out
of several bad holes. Goodrich re-
placed Taylor in left field in this
frame.
Carver did the heaving for Cando
until the fourth. when he was taken
out and Bird substituted. Bird prov
ed himself better mound artist than
his predecessor and, though touched
for several hits, he kept them we'll
scattered.
keenan, of Cando made the one SEN
sational play of the day, when he
caught Taylor's fly in the second in
ming, after a hard run. He barely
reached the ball, but managed to
knock it into the air and after twice
juggling the sphere finally recovered
his balance sufficiently to grab it

nothing but the sky for background.
There isn't even building in back
OF the wall in sight of the batter.
How is a batter going to hit brand
new white ball looking into skyline
of the same color?
at also is almost impossible to
gauge any kind of a ball, as there is
no background of any description"
Bob Shawkey, New York Yam
KEGS:
Did it ever occur to you that the
pitchers who are asked to warm up
continually are in better shape than
me regulars who run out and WORK
couple of innings to be prepared
in case of emergency?
81 follow a system that has been
very beneficial. Near the end of
every game go down to the bullpen
and warm up for two or three in
nings, whether l am going to pitch
or not. Consequently am ready and
the moment the game is over I beat
it to the shower and get all the bene
fits of short workout.

cold and clammy and suffer accord

Today undoubtedly will go down in
history as one of the notable days of
the year, for an event that promises
to be interesting to young and old
has been planned. This afternoon, at
$50, the Fat and Lean men of the
Capital City will combat in a bloody
strife for the baseball supremacy of
the city. There is also one other
important reason why the day will
long be remembered, for it is expect
ed that the fund for the purchase Of
modern ambulance for the First
Regiment, North Dakota National
Guard, now encamped at Mercedes on
the Mexican border, will receive fresh
impetus. . .#
The proceeds from the exhibition
to be staged this afternoon will be de-
voted toward that worthy cause and
for this reason it is expected the at
tendance will be large and the gate
receipts in proportion. @ Is,

It is rumored that Judge Fisk and
some of his coherents have been in
training for the past two or three
hours for the contest. OF course, this
is taking an unfair advantage of
their opponents, but Chief Downing
says he doesn't give rip and he
and his men can trim these 250-pound-

backs. Anyone with vivid magma
