Mems Club Entertainment.

A trip through Africa. as told by
Dean Collie of Beloit college, was un-
usually interesting and instructive to
the Mems Club of the Congregational
church at their meeting held at the
home of Andrew Mcintosh on Friday
evening last, which was largely at
tended. He first gave the positions of
all the colonies in Africa and pointed
out the different ones lost by the Ger
mans during the war. He was then
assisted by Will Bardeen in series of
stereopticon views which he had taken
on his trip through Africa in 1910 and
with his explanatory talk very good
idea of the conditions as they actually
existed before the war relative to the
mode of living, the nature of the coun-
try, architecture and the dress of the
different races of Africa. Dean Collie
is very interesting talker and his lee
ture was very much appreciated. The
address was followed by delicious
lunch.

Do you know what the jinx does? If
so, you know why Edgerton came home
from the inter-scholastic meet in Mil
waukee without the deserved state
basketball championship title.
We grant that Fond du Lac has a
wonderful team and acknowledge them
as state champions, yet we could beat
them in another game upon neutral
floor with an even break of luck We
are proud of the best team that Edger-
ton high school has ever turned out.
The boys fought their best, played
their usual good, clean basketball, but
fate was against them. A seeming
epidemic of hard luck struck them upon
their arrival and stayed with them un-
til their return. In their first game
Thursday night they won from Wauke
sha 1914. If they had had an even
break with baskets the score would
have been doubled.
Friday night the jinx started in earn
est when Clarke became i'll and Swee-
ney had to start the game. This ne
cessitated change in the lineup and
Ogden was placed at center. Monroe,
left forward on Fond du Lac, was their
only player that scored in the first half
and he shot four baskets, due to Swee-
ney's inexperience in guarding. Clarke
went in in the second half and Edger-
ton was ahead ALL up to the last three
minutes when Karst Gagged his two bas-
kets by making two long throws that
luckily dropped in without touching the
rim. Following close after these, Nc
Intosh had the hard luck to miss an
easy chance from the free throw line.
The ball after rolling around the rim
of the basket several times decided to
drop out. Thompson also destroyed the
chance to tie the score when he missed
a free throw at this critical point, and
the game ended 1914 in Fondy's favor.
It was a wonderful game and despite
the final result it was practically an
even toss all the way through. Rollie
Williams made the prettiest play of the
tournament when he dribbled through
the entire Fond du Lac team and Gagged
a one handed basket. Fondy stated
after the game that we had the best
team they had run up against in the
last three years and they haven't been
beaten in that time.
Saturday morning Edgerton played
great game with Monroe and won "a
20. This left Ellsworth to play for 3rd
place, but again fate played her hand
in letting this mediocre team beat us
23-18. Under ordinary circumstances
we could double the score but the
morning game had tired the boys out
too much.
The three strongest teams entered
were Edgerton, Fond du Lac and Mon
roe Of these three only one received
the credit due it. With an even break
of luck all around, the meet should
have ended with the teams in the order
above named 1t is to be regretted
that there was an uneven number OF
teams entered. This necessitated one
team being favored in not having to
play as many games in succession.
Ogden made center on the first all
state team and Williams made guard
on the second team.

SANGER TRIAL CONTINUED
SHE GAINS SUPPORTERS

New York, Jan. 24.-Despite -ru-
mors that the government may drop
the case, friends of Mrs. Margaret
Sanger, whose trial on the charge of
publicly advocating birth control was
again postponed today, are energet-
ically mapping out plans for defense.
Mrs. Sanger was not in court to-
day to answer the charge of sending
obscene literature through the mails.
The government passed the case and
it was put over to February.
'The right of freedom of speech
and of freedom of pen is questioned
in the indictment found against Mrs.
Sanger" said Miss Fola LaFollette,
daughter of the Wisconsin senator.
''That is why SO many persons are
rallying to her support. Whether one
agrees with her methods of agitation
or not, her case ought to arouse pub
lie opinion and initiate movement
to change our archaic federal and
state legislation to accord with mod
ern IDEAS"

FEAR KILLING OF MEXIcANS
MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
FL Paso, Tex, Jan. 24.-nl feeling
against Americans in Mexico was in
creased today by the execution of
two Juarez Mexicans for the murder
of one American.
Bernardo and FREDERICK Duran,
who died with a curse on their lips
for Americans, had many friends in
Juarez and reprisals are feared to-
day.
Bernado Duran declared before he
died that he, shot the American be-
cause he was trying to force entrance
to Bernado's home.
81 defended my rights as any man
would" he cried. my brother here
is entirely innocent. He didn't fire
a shot, but they are going to kill him,
too. He is being sacrificed to your
American public opinion
The two men refused to be blind
folded and their execution by firing
squad for the killing of Bert Akers,
American ranchman, last Friday, was
one of the most gruesome incidents
of Mexico trouble near, Ell Paso.
About fifty Americans, including sew
eral women, witnessed the execution
and heard the Durans hurl vile oaths
at Americans.
Washington, Jan. "a. = Summary
execution by Carranza authorities at
Juarez of the two murderers of Bert
L. Akers, American ranchman, was
regarded by officials here today as an
earnest of Carranza's anxiety to pro-
tect Americans. Official notification
of the executions was expected today.
Punishment of the murderers also
somewhat allayed pro-intervention
agitation in congress.
