Hudson Wins
Championship

Before crowd of over 5000 fans
Hudson won the championship of
the Interstate league Sunday by de-
feating. New Richmond 2 to 0, at
Saltwater.
Aside from high wind. the day
was ideal, and people drove to
Saltwater from every community
throughout the St. Croix valley land
points beyond to witness the fra
cas-. The pitchers, Bertch for Hud-
son, and Mclaughlin for New Rich
mond, worked in great form, the
former striking out Ia and the latter
II.
Hudson made both scores on err
rors, the first in the fourth round
and the second In the seventh. Sew
eral times New Richmond had splen-
did chances, but clever plays or
strike-out cut them off.
After the game the Hudson crowd
gave demonstration of wild enthu-
siasm, carrying Bertch about on
their shoulders, throwing hats high
into the air and bowling at the limit
Of their lung power. A brass band
from New Richmond played Justify
throughout the game, even after
their team appeared beaten, and the
New Richmond fans hoped and
howled for victory up to the last
put-out.
This section contributed a large
turnout, about thirty autos going
out from River Falls, while nearly
that many came through here from
Ellsworth and Prescott enroute to
the game. A special train took
about 500 from New Richmond and
Hudson, but the large percentage
appeared to have motored there.
Besides filling the grandstand and
bleachers, the crowd packed the
field several rows deep in front OF
the fence on all sides.
The league finished in the follow
ing order-Hudson, New Richmond,
Saltwater, Red Wing, Shermans and
Eau Claire.

High School Notes

A double quartet of male voices has
been organized under the direction o
Miss Anderson.
The first Literary program of the
year was held Monday. Some inter-
esting articles were given and every
one seemed to enjoy them.
Mr.. Amy made out the credentials
for the football team, that is, the av-
erage standing of each player for last
semester. The grand average for the
whole squad of eighteen players was
Sc.
The first game of the season is to
be held Saturday, October 7, with the
Cumberland high school. From all
reports Cumberland has strong
team and it should be good game.
Come and help the boys win.
The seventh grade gave a party in
honor of the eighth grade last Thurs
day. The party was held from four
in the afternoon until six, when a
lunch was served. Games were play
ed and a good time was reported by
everyone.
Professor Swenson of the Normal
and Professor Kuranz of the High
school agreed on a system of exchang-
ing football season tickets. A squad
of eighteen High school players re-
ceived season tickets to the Normal
games and the same number Of Nor
NAL players received High school sea-
son tickets.
A typewriting class has been organ
lied for speed work. They meet from
1:05 to l 80 twice week. The object
of this class is to get three students
in the school, who can represent this
school at the state contest at Eau
Claire. All the schools in this part of
the state send the best and fastest
typist in their school to compete in
this contest. The students chosen get
their expenses paid by the school they
represent. The idea OF this contest is
to create an interest among the stu
dents in commercial work.
With game in view the coming
Saturday the football squad has start
ed to develop into better and faster
team. The prospects of winning
team are starting to loom up and if
there is no hard luck to be fought
against there is no reason why we
should not have winner. Coach Ku-
RAM has given the team number of
new plays, which have been tried out
the past week and he has put on the
finishing touches for the coming con-
test. Everybody interested in the
High school should turn out and help
win, for the first game means great
deal to the team.

Stephens found immortality under

Toombs and Cobb and Calhoun were

les maddening strife, established that
greatness that is the heritage Of their

Keep Healthy Herds
n. L. Russell, Director, Agricultural
Experiment Station Of the Uni.
veFsity Of Wisconsin

Wisconsin now stands first in its
number of dairy cattle. This increase
in mich cattle is not only the basis of
supremacy of the state in the matter
Of production of dairy products, but is
the foundation on which rests its repu-
tation for dairy live stock.
Sell Cattle to 81 States
The magnitude Of this industry
with reference to the sales Of live
stock may be appreciated when one
considers the number of cattle ship
ped out of the state for dairy purpos-
es. By taking the records of the vet
Urinary division of the Department of
Agriculture as to tuberculin tests
made on cattle exported in interstate
shipments, it is possible to make an
estimate of the Importance of this
phase of agriculture. These records
naturally do not include all of the cat
tie shipped outside, as only those ami
mails are tested that are sold into
states which require tuberculin test
certificate. In the year 1914, 18,443
ments. These went to 81 states and
3 foreign countries.
The probable value Of this stock
was fully 500 head, so that pIac
tically 100000 was brought into
Wisconsin as result of this business.
These sales were wholly outside the
state. We have no definite figures as
to the extent of the business within
the state, but the best judgment OBJ
tainable places he home sales lii ex
cess of the outside sales. These fig
ures are significant in showing that
the exchange of daiary cattle is q
large factor in the live stock business
of the state.
Build on Solid Foundation
A moral obligation rests upon Us as
a state to see that the cattle that are
supplied to this trade are free from
any disease hat are of a transmissi-
BILE nature; for it is now demonstrate
ed beyond all doubt that the most
fruitful source of spreading disease is
through the introduction of animals
that are infected but in which the dis
ease has not yet advanced to rec
ognizable stage.
While this moral obligation should
be sufficient to control our actions,
the legal requirements of other states
are constantly being increased. Rec
ognizing that the disease is most COM
monty spread by transfer practically
all states now require cattle to be
tested before being admitted to their
borders. If & breeder is going to do
inter-s state business, is therefore i'm
perative that he test his herd; other
wise no end Of trouble and expense is
in store for him if he tries 70 make
outside sales.
Good business policy woald also o;lc-
