Lancaster Loses to PlattevilIe.

Lancaster high school basket ball
team opened the season here, Friday
night, and were defeated by Platte
vile, 1911 A fair-sized audience
witnessed the rough contest, and I'M
doubtedly were disappointed at the
result. Neither team showed any
team work, and the basket shooting
was very poor. 1t is doubtful il some
of the local players could have tossed
a basket ball into a bushel basket.
This years team seemed to lack the
fight" and pep which was so char
acteristic Of last years five. The play
ing Of some of Lancaster's men was
far below expectations, but lack OF
practice is given as an excuse. Black
burne piayed a very good same at cen
ter, while Oyer and ClantOn did gO0I
work, considering it was their first
game Mingst, PlatteVille's scrappy
forward, was the star Of the game, Gag
ing five baskets, two of which were Of
the sensational variety. Pitts, the Wis
itor's 2OO-pound guard, surprised the
spectators by his playing. He broke up
every play which came into Platte
ville's territory and held his man to
one basket The locals showed they
were in poor condition and this, COM
bined with over-confdence, caused the
defeat. Sangster, of FennimOre, ref

SCHOOL INSPECTORS AT LARGE.

H. NJ. Goddard, state high school in
spector, and Miss Amy Bronsky, state
inspector of grades below high school,
dropped into Grant county Monday Of
last week and for three days were
busy in several different places. Coun-
ty superintendent Of schools, Erhardt
Charles Brick, went along for two days
but came home to Lane ster Wednes-
day on the wings Of the storm-as it
were
The inspectors first looked at the
Montfort system and found it good.
The schools are Overcrowded though
and a recommendation was made to in
crease facilities.
At Cuba City the party looked over
the new high school addition that cost
the taxpayers of that enterprising lit
tie city $4,000 This addition is part
of a school building that represents
a $4,000 investment. The building
is two stories and a basement and
contains among other things large
auditorium with real stage and sure
enough dressing rooms. There is also
a well-equipped gymnasium in the
basement and in other respects the
building and equipment is thorough
ly up-to-date.
Hazel Green was also on the timer
airy and the inspectors found the same
condition as at MontfOrt-namely
crowded. The organization is said to
be good and in other respects the
school in f1rst-class condition.

HOLDING farm SALES
IN Freezing WEATHER

That editors and bank presidents
are not afraid of the wintry blasts on
the coolest day so far this year, was
demonstrated last Thursday morning
when at o'clock George Moore, the
Herald man and Will Tiller, driving
Bess and Harry, the two blacks from
the Tiller barn, drove out over the
snow drifts on the Beetown road and
broke tracks for the Hurricane.
George played a trick on the news
paper man and took the front seat
so that the festive breezes from Med
icine Hat would play a merry tattoo
on our tender calves and ankles. How
ever, he got what was coming to him
on the way home, when he faced the
north for nine long miles.
The destination be it know, was the
Bailey farm, located just north of the
Hurricane Corners and the occasion
was the sale of the Bailey-Hannum
property.
Everything was primed for the sale
at the farm-Mrs. Hannum had one of
those scrumptious farm dinners on the
table waiting for the hungry men
folks, and they fell to on time without
much urging. Too much could not be
said about that dinner, but anyone who
has attended and participated at
dinner in a Grant county farm home
knows how good things can be. This
was a dandy Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Han
mum thought at first that the sale
might have to be called off the weather
was so cold, and many people who had
announced their intention of coming,
changed their minds on account of
the cold weather and remained at
home. Still a crowd of nearly one
hundred was soon on the job and about
2 o'clock, like good sports, the owners
ordered things started.
Cold weather must be a stimulant to
John Vesperman for he moved things
in a hurry. The small stuff and i'm
plements went in short order and in jig
time. He was soon selling brood sOws.
They sold quite we'll bringing up to
$3.50. The yearling steers went next
and they brought SAT apiece for the
lot of them. The yearling heifers sold
for S43.75 apiece and the COWS from
$50 up to $3.50. Eight calves brought
$29.5O each, or a total of 1896. A fine
brown mare, years old, sold for
S176 and her gelding colt, coming 8
years old, went for 500.
Owing to the Iateness of the day and
the decided chilliness of the atmOs-
phere. the owners did not sell the bal
ance Of the horses or the hay and
grain. The sale came to nearly 81
500 and with any kind of weather
would have reached considerable more.

CORN AND dairy WEEK
PROGRAM UNDER WAY

Corn and Dairy Week. got we'll
started yesterday with Mr.. banks and
Mr.. GRADER both on the job.
Yesterday morning was taken up
with a general discussion Of dairy cat
tie, Mr.. banks giving the talk. Mr..
banks spoke of various methods in
bringing up the standard in herd
and also dwelt at some length on the
diseases of dairy cattle and remedial
agents.
That the meetings are considered
good thing was shown by the number
Of farmers and dairymen in attend
ance both morning and afternoon.
There was a very good crowd for
start, Mr.. GRADER said, and the later
days Of the week are likely to have
splendid attendance.
Mr.. banks and Mr. GRADER are both
farmers themselves nothing Of the
high collar and highbrow type about
these young men and they talk straight
from the shoulder about the things
they are familiar with. If they are
not UP on something they are willing
to admit and believe they can also
learn a good deal from their audiences.
The talks are very informal and any
listener desiring to ask a question is
asked to break right in while the
matter is on the tip of the tongue and
ask about it. The meetings are ar
ranged for the benefit of the men ac-
tive in farming and while everyone
is welcome, farmers are particularly
urged to attend during the week.
The picture program has been
changed to Friday evening instead of
Thursday as announced on account of
the other things on the cards for
Thursday night. Friday evening at
the high school will be given lee
ture on the Panama Pacific exposition
using colored slides. Friday afternoon
will be devoted largely to alfalfa rails
ing at the rink, and the picture at the
high school following the slides will
consist Of 5000 feet of film on alfalfa
raising in Wisconsin. All farmers at
tending the meetings at rink will be
issued tickets admitting them free of
charge. A charge Of ten cents will be
made at the door to others desiring to
see the slides and pictures. Thursday
and Friday will be taken up with en-
tirely different subjects, so do not fail
to come both days.

FARMERS TEL. CO.
IN annual REPORT
Stockholders Meet at BeetOwn,
But Not Enough for Quorum.
Plant Showing Healthy Increase
Many New Stations Added Past
Year. Sec'y Makes Summary.

About eighty stockholders CT the
Farmers Telephone company gathered
at BeetoWn last Wednesday, but as this
number was 46 short of the quorum OF
126 REQUIRED, no formal meeting took
place. There are $40 members in the
concern and fifteen per cent Of this
number is necessary to constitute
quorum.
The officers we're all present, how
ever. and a general discussion took
place among those present regarding
the condition of the cOmpany's imam
ces and affairs. ROlla Kinney, secre
tary, had prepared concise report OF
the years transactions showing dis
bursements and receipts and subdivid-
ing the various amounts into their
proper classification. For the beneht
of our readers, who are interested IN
the cOmpany's progress, Mr.. Kinney's
report is published in this weeks is
sue.
The board of directors Of the Farm
ers' company will meet today at Bee
town and discuss the matter of haY-
ing a special meeting called at later
date. According to the cOmpany's by
laws, unless a sufficient number OF
members ask for a special meeting the
present officers hold over until the
next annual meeting.
1t is considered advisable by the OF
ficers to annuI the present provision
requiring fifteen per cent of the ctock-
holders present in order to have a
meeting. as this is almost impossible
in such a large body of members.
President Anton VOgt, of Beetown, will
place this before the commission at an
early date.
Mr.. Kinney calls attention to GER
tain features in this report. Some
heavy expenditures in the past year,
notably for cabling Lancaster and re-
routing lines to avoid high tension diff
ficulties. amounted to about $4,000.
This. Of course. will not occur again.
Another point is about the new tele-
phones: In the last year the COM
pany bought 100 instruments at a cost
Of about So each. These stations
brought very little revenue this year
as they were just installed. Next year
they will bring in $1,000.
The railroad commission has or
dered a new system of accounting and
also a change in the method Of rentals.
At present those owning their own
telephones pay SO yearly while renters
nav So. The commission orders that
the rentals shall be equal and each
user pay the same rate. Any surplus
will be paid out as dividends.

Captain H A. Lueders, of the

headquarters at Mobile, was in the

n'ssioned as an excursion boat the
large stern-wheel steamer Florida, of
the Florida Towboat Company, which
steamer has just been released from
the Henricksen ways at or near
Pinewood, Fla.
The first crowd of excursionists
taken by the Florica after being thus
ins pected and commissioned was COM

30 TIE NOTE.
WAS WRIT TEN.
BY WILSON BOY.
Fudge's Appeal For New
Trial Not To Be Opposed
BY Stokes.
BOY WROTE NOTE
FOR A JOKE
Case Will Be Heard At 10
O'Clock This
Morning.

When Judges appeal for a new
trial is heard this morning at 10
o'clock, it is extremely probably that
Prosecuting Attorney Stokes will Sec
ond the motion, because of the proof
that the bottle note was not written
by BERTHE Munday.
The bottle note was considered by
far the most damaging testimony
against Fudge. When the Birming-
ham expert swore categorically that
the Munday woman wrote it, motive
for Judges killing the children was
apparently established, for he had
asked the woman TO marry him, and
she had refused, on account of his
children, wherefore it was argued
that Fudge, wanting the woman, had
made away with his children, and
when he was arrested, the Munday
woman, wrote the note endeavoring
to throw suspicion away from him.
The same expert who testified to
the Munday woman's writing the
note testified to the advanced dates
in the children's notes, the change
he said, being made by different
hand.
The Wilson boy has acknowledged
writing the note as joke, and .
friend who saw him do so was in ths
courtroom at t. e time of the expert:
testimony; and is said to have re
marked, soto voce, when the expert
stated the note was written by BERTHE
Munday, that the man didn't know
what he was talking about.
The word was whispered around
and reached the ears of Judges at
torneys after the case had gone t.
the jury.
A change of venue is also asked.

PROVE ALLIES DOMINATE
FOREIGN RAW MATERIALS
BY IMPORT sum MAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Domination
by the allies of foreign produced
raw materials is essential to Ameri-
can manufacturers, and has been
proved conclusively to officials here
by the completion today of COM
prehensive summary of British trade
policies as to imports into the United
States. AS the result of recent
entente, the Paris economic confer
ence is regarded here with far great
err disquiet than before. The propos-
ed commercial war, after the war, at
first viewed as outlining policies
which could no. survive heart of war,
is viewed as more practical in light
of the investigation. The British
black list has been accepted in prin-
ciple by all the allies.
Although officials so far have been
unable to hold these arrangements
illegal, a possibility that they are be-
ing made degal after war to fit peace
conditions has had disquieting eff
feet.
