River Falls Wins
the Rubber Game

Two victories over La Crosse Nor
NAL, one at La Crosse Saturday and
the other at Minnesota u Monday,
gave River Falls clear title to the
basketball championship of the
northern circuit Of Wisconsin norman
schools. Superior normal has no
quint this season, and the Stevens
Point aggregation lost every inter-
normal game.
The state championship series will
commence with a game here next
Wednesday evening between River
Falls and Milwaukee, the latter hav-
ing won out over Platteville, White
water and Oshkosh in the southern
circuit. Later, probably the follow
ing Friday. the second game will be
played at Milwaukee, and if each
team wins game, the tie will be
played off on some neutral" floor.
La Crosse won from River Falls in
game played here Feb. IL. The
score was &c to 81. Both sides made
the same number of field baskets.
La Crosse won by majority Of ac-
curata free throws. Their coach
made the positive assertion that his
team so far excelled the locals in
every department of the game that
in three-game series River Falls
would not have a ghost of a show
for single victory. He has prob
ably lived to regret that rash state
ment for-
At La Crosse Saturday night River
Falls won out % to II, and in the
second half of this game Doc Sputh's
outfit did not score a single field
basket. In the first half each team
scored four field baskets, but Strum
made four free throws out of z
chances, while Christian and Bethel
missed all of their five attempts.
In the second half the Red and White
scored 6 field baskets and 3 free
throws, while 5 free throws was the
best the home team could do. Bet
rel, 0. Eggebrecht and Morrow each
made two field baskets, and Carl
Eggebrecht made three. Christian
added more scores on free throws.
Meinert and Weiss scored field bas-
ket apiece for La Crosse, while

Commercial Club
Out To DO Things

Following the call Of the presi-
dent, w. G. Spence, a meeting of
the Commercial club was held in the
City hall Friday evening. The club
elected P. w. Ramer, O. w. New
comb, George B. Skogmo, Walter H.
S. Johnson and M. Norseng, board
of directors.
Mr.. Ramer presiding, the board
elected the following slate Of offic-
ers:
President, George B. Skogmo.
Secretary, w. H. S. Johnson.
Treasurer, O. w. Newcomb.
The report of the outgoing treas
urer, r. w. Freeman, was read and
accepted.
In the discussion of city interests
the club went on record in favor of
a city library and will confer with
and lend assistance to the library
committee and other organizations
in the city. It was suggested that
application be made to Andrew Car
negie for donation toward the IL
brary.
In his report Secretary johnson
says "Wenow have membership of
72 and believe that we can reach the
100 mark shortly. Every member is
urged to feel free with suggestions,
either written or oral, that may
boost the clubs welfare and pur-
poses. AS for the hammers, those
addicted to the use Of them should
preserve them carefully, and hold in
readiness for use after the founda-
tons of the library have been laid.
Nor should they deem it advisable to
throw them away after that. For
we believe that the time is ripe and
now is the time for action. And we
are going to do things that will draw
the knock Nevertheless, they will
be for the advancement Of River
Falls. Now, everybody altogether

The Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapo-
lis and Omaha Railway points with
pardonable pride to the splendid
record made by them during the
year 1915 in handling 5,067. 587
passengers without a single severe
injury. This is a remarkable dem
onstration of what can be accom-
plished by the hearty cooperation
of all employees in conjunction with
that active and persistent cam
paign-Safety First-which organ
ization is maintained by this COM
pany. During the same period there
were % trespassers killed on the sys-
tenn, which demonstrates very clear
ly that the Omaha" is a safe road
to ride on but very unsafe to walk
upon.

Preparedness, Pork"
Keep Congress Busy

Preparedness" is word cover
ing a multitude of activities and
some sins. Selfshness frequently
runs through legislation because diff
fering interests seek special advant-
ages. Bills from every corner of the
country proposing local training
camps, naval stations and munition
factories arouse enthusiasm at home
where such bills are taken seriously
but are harmless because not one in
hundred receives passing notice
from Congress.
Real danger exists, however, when
a senator from Pennsylvania states
to Congress that if the government
armor plate factories are built, then
private companies will jump their
prices 5000 per ton until the govern
ment factories begin work. Tillman
Of South Carolina declared that if
so the government for self protect
ion would take over private factor
les by condemnation and manufact-
ure its own armor plate. That is the
answer to threats.
An equally astounding proposal
comes from the military committee
which at first proposed to spend 20
million dollars for Tennessee River
water power for the benefit Of the
Alabama Power Company. This pro-
posal is for the government to build
plant costing $40, 100000 for man
ufacturing nitrate and then lease to
the power company for 100 years at
a nominal rental. Nitrate is used
for fertilizer and explosives and 50
is a preparedness proposal. Far
fetched Yes, but nothing is too
preposterous when raids are pro-
posed on the federal treasury. The
scheme, like chameleon, changes its
color every session. Last session it
was struggled into the river and
harbor bill under a pretense fOrnavi-
cation.
Our government has spent 81 $50,

Tuesday afternoons snow storm
at times threatened to develop into
full fledged blizzard, but it did not
continue long enough to drift badly.
The threat, however, was sufficient
to prompt the Omaha company into
safety first" precaution and two
locomotives were put on to haul the
evening train over the local branch
line.

The chemical fire apparatus re-
Gently ordered by the city arrived
here last week and has been put
through some strenuous try-outs.
The fire alarm was sounded at noon
Friday on account of chimney
blaze at VIM. McCormick's house
and the new auto, although its tanks
were empty, brought two firemen to
the scene in a jiffy and the fire was
extinguished in a second by chemi-
Gals from a hand tank. Monday
noon two representatives of the com
pany which sells this chemical prep
aration gave a demonstration of its
powers under difficult circumstances,
operating upon bon fire, built of
the most inf1ammable material pro-
durable, in the vacant lot back of
the City Hall. Those who are ac-
quainted with the subject say that
the demonstration was very salts
factory, and showed that under av-
erage conditions at residence or bus
mess house fires they would prove
highly efficient.

Patrons Of the local branch-line
Saturday night were treated to an
entertaining comedy when Conduct
or Halles went through the coaches
hauling members of the st. Paul
Central high school basketball squad
out from under the seats, where
they had concealed themselves in an
attempt to "beat their way Their
forlorn appearance and their sham
ed-faced attention to the Conduct
or's caustic remarks kept the other
passengers in an uproar Of laughter
during the entire trip. The boys
were enroute to Ellsworth to play
basketball. Had they gone through
to Ellsworth undetected they would
have boosted with pride at the
brainy achievement-lying uncom-
fortably cramped on dusty floor
for two hours in order to cheat the
company out of few cents fare.
