Hub Quint After Big Game

Manager r. A. Peterson Of the
Ellsworth hig h school basketball
team appears to be scheduling games
for his quint on the theory that the
bigger they are, the harder they
fall, !" for he has signed up the fast
Sherman Hotel tossers for a game
at the Hub tomorrow night. To the
casual observer of sport records it
would appear that in this instance R.
A. has doomed his youngsters to a
severe and fancy drubbing, but past
performance has proved that such a
dose is difficult to administer to the
Hub boys and the attempt would be
very interesting to watch.

end of the first half, when the score
stood Is to IA against them.

H. S. ACTORS AGAIN
SCORE A Big HIT
GlVo Splendid Rendition of Comedy
Sketch "Next Door"
COACHED BY MISS WILLIAMS
Large. Crowd Is Highly Pleased Over
Nome Talent Production

We wonder if we are alone in that
feeling of trepidation which possesses
us when we venture to attend a
home talent theatrical affair. Since
early childhood we have always had
that feeling of qualmy sympathy for
the friends who are to appear in the
piece, and we await the rise of the
curtain in a prayerful hope that they
will manage to drag through it with
out any dreadful mishap. AS the
drama jerks haltingly along, and our
sympathy grows almost chokingIy
fearful, we stink lower and lower in
to our chair, while our attempts to
smile at the mal-treated jokes dis
tort and pain our blushing cheeks.
But of late we have been amazed
to find ourself totally lacking in any
of those uncomfortable thrills be-
fore, during or after the local home
talent productions. In fact, instead
of that attitude, we enjoy the same
comfort and easy appreciation as at
good professional performance,
where we oft times envy the actor
for his talent and grace. We look
forward with pleasurable anticipa-
ton to the home talent plays now,
instead of sneaking our comps" off
onto someone else, with an assumed
grand air of making a noble sacrifice
for love.)
What we're trying to get at, is,
that we sure do enjoy the plays di
rected by Miss Williams and present
ed by her student actors. They're
smooth, snappy and given with
vim and pep" that carries the au-
dience right along in the spirit of
the piece. Last Thursday nights
presentation Of the comedy, Next
Door" was no exception, unless in
the fact that it was even better, and
we wish to sincerely thank Miss
Williams, Messrs. Phil Snodgrass,
John Linger, Billy Smith, HOWE
George, Brunette Nichols and Misses
Ruth White, Emma Smith, Letha
Chinook and Helen Dawson, for a
most enjoyable evenings entertain
ment. 1t was fine.
The Imperial Male Quartet"
consisting of Orson Pratt, Paul Bird,
Phil. Snodgrass and Howard George,
and Pratt's orchestra, entertained
the audience with some delightful
selections during the intermissions.

Auditorium 10 Have Movie
Machine

The River Falls Auditorium asso-
citation is purchasing a moving pic
ture machine which will soon be in
stalled in the opera house and shows
will be given whenever it is possible
to secure the leading feature pro-
auctions of the day.
The moving picture programs will
not be run on any schedule, but will
be booked in the same manner as the
travelling shows which have appear
ed there.
Through this service River Falls
will have an opportunity to witness
the masterpieces Of the moving pic
ture industry, releases that would
prove altogether too expensive tc
book on a dime admission circuit.
The opera house movies will in nc
way conflict with the shows at the
Princess, where good one or tWo-ree1
plays are shown, with a change OF
program each evening. The opera
house programs will probably give
but single play in an evening, con-
tinuing through several reels.

A jolly Dancing Party

The bal masque and cotillion given
in Syndicate hall by the As-You-Like-
It Dancing Class Monday evening
was one of the most enjoyable social
affairs of the season. The hundred
dancers in black and white Pierrot
costumes and the hall artisitically
decorated with black and white de-
signs presented a scene of lively
gaiety. All entered into the fun of
the entertainment, and everyone had
a right royal good time. A pleasing
feature Of the evening was Pierrot
pas seul by Lou Colt. He was hearth
ly encored several times. Excellent
music was furnished by Mr.. and Mrs.
John E. Howard. on violin and piano,
and Mr.. Frank Crane, harpist.

Harry B. Thomas and local party

Chicago attending the big cement
show at the Coliseum and the various
building and engineering conventions
held in that city last week. Thou
sands Of engineers. contractors, city
officials and building material deal
ers from all parts Of the country
were in attendance. Over 200 of the

building materials and equipment
had displays on view at the Cement

plete and instructive trade shows
ever held" said Mr.. Thomas, after
an inspection of the remarkable dis
plays in the Coliseum. "The enthu-
siasm of the large number Of ex-
hibitors and of the thousands Of Wis
itors indicate that the coming year
will be big one in the building bus

provements and street and country

that the Government fix the price of

Meeting

Maj. Burton, Capt. King. First
Lieut.. Inglis, Second Lieut.. Lyksett.
First Sargt. Lystad and Private
Andy Peterson Of Co. G, Wisconsin
National Guard, were down from
Hudson Monday evening and held a
meeting at the City Hall election
rooms. The hall was crowded with
young men from the city and from
the normal school, and the speeches
by the officers and Professor Karges,
who was at one time a member Of
the Whitewater militia, aroused lots
of enthusiasm and interest.
Eleven young men from this city
joined the company at this meeting
and went to Hudson last evening to
be present at the annual inspection
Of Co. C, held by an officer from the
regular army. 1t is planned to hold
several meetings here during the
next few weeks, and the prospects
appear " wal OllC CllC clcoCl ClOI CidI
before summer there will be sufi-
cient local membership to maintain
an armory equipment here, with To-
cal drills and the establishment of
rifle range near town.
There are dozens of young men in
this city and immediate vicinity who
would find the national guard serv-
ice attractive and beneficial if they
became better acquainted with the
work, and we would advise all who
are interested to write to Lieut.. j.
P. Inglis at Hudson, for further par
ticulars Watch for the announce

'sStart up The Sand"

There are two agencies which sur
pass all others in the ability to make
this morbid sphere a worth while
place in which TO live-a jovial heal
thy laugh, from the heart out, ="
and the music of a good brass band
These two will do more to drive
away dull care and cause joy and
happiness to abound than anything
else. And neither is really expen-
sive if properly managed.
In the sos River Falls maintained
a brass band that was a credit and a
JOY to the town. There is even a
greater abundance Of material here
now, and there is no reason why
practically every one Of our neigh
boring municipalities should have

The Prescott high school quint

to win revenge on the local high
team for the drubbing which Cap.
Peterson's machine administered to
them on their home floor few

This promises to be a fast, hard
game, and as it is the last which the
locals have scheduled on their own
floor every fan should turn out to
see it.
Next week the River Falls boys
will go to Ellsworth and attempt to
even up for the Hubs victory here

Interstate League Adopts
ffSpIit" Schedule Plan

At the second meeting Of the In
terstate League, held at the Sher-
man Hotel in st. Paul last Sunday it
was decided to divide the season in
to two sets Of schedules, each team
playing ten games for the first half
season pennant, and then starting
over again on another similar series
for the remainder of the season.
This plan should sustain interest in
the games throughout the entire
season, as every team will have an
opportunity even though handicap
ped by bad start. With the old
one-pennant system, if team gets
away poorly and is practically out Of
the race after the first few games,
interest in its games dwindles and
only the two or three at the top are
able to draw the crowds. With a
chance to start out even again in the
middle of the season a cellar cham
pionship team of the first half of the
schedule can hold the support Of the
fans through better showing at the
opening of the second series.
Red Wing did not send any repre-
sentatives to either of the meetings
held this year, and at Sundays SEES
sion that town was dropped from the
league and the M. j. Carr's Of St.
Paul were given the place thus made
vacant.
The schedules for the season have
not been completed beyond the open
ing games. Ellsworth will open the
season on her home grounds May 3.
The Hub magnates are busy signing
up players, and. we are told, have a
strong lineup in view. It is rumor-
ed that the two Leseman brothers of
Prescott are already on the Ellis
worth roster, and that John Vezina
has also signed up with Sundays
tribe. Foster, the twirler who NOW
ed them all down for Red Wing at
the close Of last season, has boosted
the price Of his services up to sum
which none Of the Interstate league
clubs care to meet, and it is rumored
that he will not decorate any of that
organizations diamonds the coming
season.
