HOG BREEDERS FORM
CO. ORGANIZATION

About a dozen of the leading Poland
China breeders of this section met at
the city hall in Lancaster last We'd
nesday afternoon and formed per-
manent organization. Burlie Dobson,
of the Dobson & Eastman firm of live
stock breeders, issued the call and
presided over the meeting later Civ
ing the chair to Chris Hartman of
Cassville as permanent chairman.
What the afternoon brought forth is
as follows:
Elected Chris Hartman as presi-
dent of the society.
Burlie Dobson of Lancaster, as sec
rotary.
R. L. Rech of North Lancaster, as
treasurer.
Elected three directors to work in
]. C. Hendricks, Hazel Green; Chas.

man of Glen Haven.

Appointed a committee consisting
Of Burlie DobsOn, Irwin Vesperman and
Burr Walker to meet fair board and
ask for a change in specifications re
lating to entry of swine. The clause
now specifies that it is necessary to
show the boar along with the get of
sire shOwings. The fair officials have
since agreed to make the change rem
dering it unnecessary to show the
boar.
Those present and signing for mem
bership were: Frank Morehouse,
Lancaster; Chris Hartman, Cassville;

Burr Walker, Lancaster; 1. A. Vesper-
man, Lancaster.
The above is only a start-but a
good one. 1t is expected that other
breeders in the county will join the
society and that the movement will
result in much good for the various
members and the county at large
through the improvement in breeding
and the increased sales and so on that
will come through the associations

DodgevilIe, %; Lancaster, p.

Saturday the team jOurneyed to
Dodgeville, where they met rather
surprise. Coach Whites
team was expected to prove easy, but
though very light, proved to be one
of the fastest teams the locals have
met this year. Lancaster seemed to
tire in the first half and didn't play
the ball of which they are capable.
The second half they woke up and
Outplayed Dodgevi1le in every way.
Their passes were short, swift and ac-
curate. They would have swept
Dodgeville off their feet if the referee
hadn't persisted in fouling the locals
for rough playing, but what really
was good, fast basketball. The alb
sence of Angus, Lancaster's star
guard, weakened the team greatly,
and this with the eighteen fouls on
the locals, undoubtedly lost the game.
The final scare was 22-21. ClantOn
and Campbell starred. The score:
Lancaster Clanton, If; Blackburne,
IF; Dyer, c; Oyer, re-; Edwards, lg.
