uity Exchange of Prescott, reports
that the Equity expects to run it's ele-
vators night and day soon because of
the great amount of grain coming
here from Minneapolis to be cleaned
and then transferred to Chicago in
addition to that received from the
farmers in this vicinity. Mr.. Snyder
has been putting in a small elevator
with engine and scales at Smiths
Landing. This will prove a great con-
venience in handling the grain.-Pres-

Pigs is Pigs and

but there is a difference in pigs and
difference in milk.
Pat the depot agent in Ellis Park
err Buffers story pigs is Pigs"
got himself into serious trouble by
insisting that a guinea pig is a pig
even if it has ''Dago" name.
Pat finally found out that there is
a big difference in pigs
If you take the time to investigate
you will find there is big differnce
in milk.
Pritchett's Guernsey milk tests
around 5 per cent butter fat all the
time as against 3 to per cent for
ordinary milk.
Pritchett's milk is cooled within a
few minutes after it comes from the
cow and put into sanitary sealed top
bottles. The bacteria test is very
much lower than in ordinary milk on
this account. 1t keeps sweet much
longer than ordinary milk and is
healthier for the groWn-up or the
baby.
Pritchett's cream always tes t s
above 80 per cent butter fat and will
whip If you don't think there's a
difference ask some one who is using
it. Leave your order at STEWART

The Violin Work
In River Falls
Plans for 1867

When John E. Howard organized
the violin class here in the fall of 1908
there were enrolled five people. Last
year there were over thirty violin
pupils in the Normal violin depart
ment which Mr.. Howard conducts.
When President Crabtree came to
River Falls, he wanted more music in
the school, and he set about to get it..
Besides Miss Willett, the present eff
fcient supervisor, he introduced Prof.
Wickland and Mr.. Howard, resulting
in the development of fine ladies'
glee club, under Miss Willett, a large
mems chorus of note under Mr. Wick
land, and the popular violin depart
ment headed by Mr.. Howard. The
at this time and the music department
became a splendid feature of the
school.
Mr.. Howard has also been connected
with several responsible bureaus in
the past few years and this is an adj
vantage to pupils who are studying
with him. These agencies are always
in need of good violinists and as they
have a great regard for the work of
Mr.. Howard, it will be possible for
him to find positions for those who
complete the course. Therefore, the
pupils of Mr.. Howard receive not only
& practical violin course but also the
chance of a position, if they so desire.
They will have to pass the bureau ex-
animation, however, as too many I'M
prepared amateurs have tried to get
positions of this type.
This year the department is to be
the largest in the history of the school.
A special class of children from to
IL will be organized. The lessons will
be given on Saturday morning at nine
o'clock, and the price is very low, only
SOC, but the purpose is good, and is
being adopted by leading teachers for
beginners. The price of regular pupils
is the same as before.
Pupils outside of the Normal are
welcome and the director of the de-
partment will arrange the lesson hour
to suit the convenience of the person.
Mr.. Howard is a licensed teacher,
and is rated as one of the best violin
lists in this state. He is thorough
earnest and capable, and has the IA
Guilty of presenting the instrument in
a clear, practical way.
The Normal orchestra is a credit
to the school and the community. The
orchestra is planning on doing a good
deal of public work this year, in the
way of community service. Any re
quests for music in public events OF
local affairs will be taken care of by
Mr.. Howard and the orchestra.
The department opens on Septem-
Der 10, and the orchestra will meet
on September IS.

Most people who were admiring
the unusually brilliant and beautiful
display Of the aurora borealis, or
northern lights, Saturday night, were
probably unaware that that wonder
full phenomena, the cause of which
scientists have been unable to ex-
plain, was materially affecting bust
ness operations on earth. The au-
rora borealis is in some manner
caused from electric currents, and
on Saturday these rays were so
strong as to interrupt telegraph
communications and hamper tn e
service to a considerable extent.
This inconvenience was felt, how
ever, only on lines running east and
west, those going north and south
not being affected.

Former Senator Hatton, who is a
candidate for governor, is one of the
wealthiest men in the state. He is
none the less an excellent man. In
fact, it is surprising that he is lined
up against Gov. Phillip and has given
himself over to fractional politics. AS
between Hatton and McGovern, the
choice is easy. Hatton, like Gov. Phil
ipp, is successful business man and
is competent. But there should be no
opposition to Gov. Philip, and there
would be none were it not for politics,
Republican.

ROOSEVELT
And NcCOVERN
(By John F. KuehnD

AS 1t was WlCn ISUO0GFSlD III 1Ic1IAOAic~i
politics just so was it with McGovern
in state politics. AS Roosevelt bolted
in the Republican Convention IN 1912
lust so did McGovern bolt with him
by betraying the voters of Wisconsin
Each man placed personal ambition
above the victory of principle. Each
man paid the penalty as soon as the
voters were given an opportunity to
register their verdict. Roosevelt was
repudiated by the voters of the nation;
and two years ago, the voters of Wis
consin repudiated McGovern by elect
ing Paul o. Husting to the United
States Senate.
Roosevelt is through boiling and is
doing his best to weld his party to-
gether. while McGovern is ctill In the
boiling game. His idea is to rule or
ruin. McGovern and his delegates
went into the conf erence at Madison
on June 22, 1916, as did all other dele
gates from different parts of the state.
il ne conference was CCbllO0 1O1 SAAO PNA
pose of getting the voters to agree
upon one candidate so as to insure VIC
tory for the Progressive Republican
party in Wisconsin. Before the voting
began, a rule was adopted that no
candidate shall be considered endorsed
unless he received two-thirds Of the
votes of the conference. Hon. William
H. Hatton was unanimously endorsed
by the conference except for eight
votes, and Ill candidates voted upon at
the conference resigned except Nc
Govern.
Nothing shows more clearly the
honesty and sincerity Of purpose which
prompted this conference to act than
the speech of Walter D. Corrigan Of
Milwaukee, one Of McGovern's dele
gates.
Mr.. Corrigan said in part:
II have consistently voted in this
convention for Honorable Francis E.
McGovern. He has received the solid
vote Of the Milwaukee delegation upon
every ballot. He has been defeated,
and Honorable William H. Hatton has
been made the nominee of this con-
vention.
''Mr. Hatton has been fairly nom
mated | am sufficiently familiar with
the history of this conference, from its
inception until now, to know that it
has been, and is fair, honestly con-
stituted body. No ore can honestly
gainsay this. 1t has brought together
as representative a body of Progress
i've Republicans of Wisconsin as have
ever assembled in this State in confer
ence or convention. believe that this
conference represents that great body
of Progressive Republican voters of
Wisconsin who have, by their unswerv-
ing loyalty to the principles of repre-
sentative government, made this State
what it is today, the brightest star IN
the constellation of governments of the
civilized world. They have made Wis
consin the best place on earth in which
to live. They have stood, and stand
today, in favor of government of, by,
and for the people. They are unself-
ishly loyal to the cause of better gov
eminent and have the profound hope
that they may hand down to their pos
terity those blessings which our fore
fathers so wisely conceived for u.s."

opposition which the United states took when the proposals on the group five" originally were submit ted, it is believed, none of these powers will be inclined to take issue with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily upon their Oriental ally, not only for muni- tious of war but for military and naval protection of their interests in tho Orient.
 The close study that has been made n Washington of the pro- posa.s embodied in group five" has only confirmed officials in their original belief, that if accepted in full by China, without protest from other nations, they would lead not only to material and industrial, but even political domination of China by Japan.
 Japanese advisers for the Chinese government with resulting exclusion of all other foreign advisers from Picking, it is felt, would place China completely under the political con- trol of Japan.
 While not prepared to make an issue on that point, however. the state department is convinced the other provisions of group five" finally would close to American commerce and enterprise the open door in China.
 It is gathered from the British newspaper adyices that in addition to revising the demands in group five" as they stood at the close Of the negotiations in Picking last January, the Japanese proposals again include provision aimed al a budding American enterprise in Fukien province, and a proposal to police all of the large Chinese cities with Japanese.
 In tho absence Of official ad- vices in @ matter of such import auce, officials decline to indi- cate what course will be followed by the United states government Ambassador Guthrie, at Tokyo, and Minister Reinsch, at Picking, will be called upon for complete in- formation.

Washington, Feb. 4 - Awaiting confirmation from official sources as a necessary preliminary to any action Ly the United States, state department officials were interested today in the report from London that the Japanese government has revived all the demands upon China included in the famous group five" of the list of proposals sub mitted to the Picking government more than a year ago for a per- maucnt settlement of outstanding issues between Japan and China.
 There is Q conviction in official circles here that any action at this time likely to have results to- ward warding off the new Japanese demands must be taken by the Un- itad states practically alone.
