Babcock & Keller, a New Firm.

The Reporter introduces to our read
ers new business firm in Edgerton
this week. C. II. Babcock, long en-
gagged in the clothing trade, has taken
into partnership James Keller, who for
several years past has conducted an ex-
elusive ladies' shoe business in the Doty
block, and the consolidation bids fair
to conserve the interests of the buying
public The store building occupied by
Babcock's clothing store has been ac-
quired of Mrs. C. R. Bentley by the
new firm and changes in the interior
are under way to accommodate the
Keller shoe stock where fittings can be
made in seclusion.
Mr.. Babcock is one of our oldest
merchants in the line of clothing, with
experience of the needs of his custom
ers that has always brought him sue
cessful trade. Mr.. Keller has been
brought up from young man In mer-
chandising, first with Mr.. Babcock in
the Department Co.. where he took
charge of the shoe business, and later
when he branched out for himself, un-
til he is fully conversant with demands
of an exacting trade in footwear.
The new firm will have the assistance
of Ralph Peterson, formerly connected
with Slam Anderson's clothing store at
Stoughton, in the selling force, and as
sure the public that their needs will
have prompt and careful attention.
Here is success to the new firm of
Babcock & Keller.

"A record breaking crowd was pres
ent at the annual Firemen's Ball Mon
day evening, when the receipts were
swelled to about $3.50. During the con-
cert hour Academy hall was literally
packed while Hatch's orchestra dis
coursed program Of excellent music
The firemen fully appreciate the bene-
fit accorded them. The young element
OF the community fully enjoyed the
dance in the later hours after the
crowd lessened.
The 50th wedding anniversary of

Spike passed the greater portion of
their married life on farm in Porter,
removing to this city about twelve
years ago to enjoy the fruits of their

spected citizens. Mr.. and Mrs. Spike

Tobacco Notes

In vicinity of Nora, Illinois, 20 miles
west of Freeport, on the Illinois Cen
trail r. R., there is about Is acres of
Wisconsin leaf tobacco, in bundle, un-
sold. No buyers here. Growers are
anxious to SELL Enquire Of w. K.
Marshall at Nora, III.
A fine team of heavy Percheron
horses belonging to L. P. Suffer, the
we'll known Chicago leaf dealer, were
drowned in Delavan Lake recently. The
ice had been plowed and the team was
being used in cleaning the snow from
the ice, when they broke through and
could not be rescued.

Edgerton Loses First Game.

Approximately $50 loyal Edgerton
rooters saw the High School basketball
team receive it's first defeat of the sea-
son at the hands of Madison High at
Madison last Saturday night by the
overwhelming count of 37-8. The de-
feat may be laid to the non-perfected
system of play'which was installed four
days before the game. The Edgerton
players were not versed enough in this
new style to remember it when they
most needed it. They lost their heads
after the first five minutes of play of
each half and although they fought
hard at all times their teamwork was
faulty. Madison must be given consid-
cradle credit as their harding was air
tight and they played with remarkable
teamwork. They very craftily hired a
referee who, though trying to be fair,
allowed regular collegiate roughness.
The Edgerton players, used to playing
a clean game, could not be expected to
stand up under this sort of game
against the heavier Madison players.
Madison's baskets were another
source of worry for the local team. Ed
gerton seemingly could not make the
ball go through the net although their
shots repeatedly struck the ring. Free
throws were as bad as field goals, only
two being made out of fifteen chances.
Madison, on the other hand, made goals
from all positions and dropped in two
out of four chances at free throws.
Parr Of Madison lived up to his scor-
ing ability by caging seven baskets.
Maisel followed closely with six.
Glitch Mcintosh did the best for Ed
gerton with two baskets. Norman
Clarke made the other basket from the
center of the floor. Rollie Williams
displayed his usual good foot-work.
Time after time he spilled his man by
pivoting and clever lodging A Madi-
son paper conceded him the honor of
giving the best exhibition of foot-work
seen on their floor this season.
On neutral floor with more strict
officials our team would give much
better account of itself The score
does a great injustice to Edgerton's
real playing ability. The figures:

The high school basketball team in
creased its percentage Tuesday night
by defeating Stoughton high school at
the latter city. The score was 26-l1.
From the opening whistle. to the end
the result was never in doubt as the
superior passing, guarding and general
teamwork of the Edgerton team far
excelled that of Stoughton. The air
tight guarding Of Williams and Thomp-
son was the feature of the game.

NORNALBLOOD SERUM

Recommended by Doctor

PARENTS SUBMIT
TO OPERATION

NEW YORK. Aug. 17-Family ply
sicians have been advised by DIT.
Abraham Zingher Of willard Parker
Hospital, to try to use the normal"
blood serum obtained from parents as
method of rendering their children
immune 70 infantile paralysis. Many
cases of this disease have been treat
ed in Willard-Parker Hospital dur
ing the present epidemic
The theory on which DR. zingher
and his assistants are working is that
the blood of the normal adult con-
tains the anti-bodies which neutraiize
the virus Of poliomyelitis. or infan-
tile paralysis Some physicians be-
lieve the presence of these anti-bod-
les is due to the fact that the par
ents have had the disease in an un-
recognized form II is stated that il
the theory Of the anti-bodies is cor
rect the blood serum treatment may
prove as effective in preventing in
fantile paralysis As vaccination is II
preventing typhoid
1.-The treatment is entirely harm
less and the experiment is worth try
ing," said DR. zingher 1T can b.
administered easily by any reputable
family physician
The theory is based on. the fac
that very large portion Of adult
apparently are immune to the dis
ease. although a few Of them con
tract it, ard on the fact that chill
dren in the nursing period seldom are
victims. II appears likely the chill
dren carry the immunity of the par
ents.'
