Headed by D. A. Slaughter. president

Then the subcommittee will meet with
representatives of dealers of Washing
ton, who will lay before them their
views on the price question. Both deal
ers and producers, it was stated today,
are anxious to keep down prices for
lized that an advance in price means
a curtailed consumption of milk.
Following the joint meeting of repre-
sentatives of dealers and producers, the
subcommittee for the producers will go
into a session at which they will name
a price at which milk can be sold a q
small profit to the producer. 1t was
stated today by persons closely in touch

ably Will be around 81 cents a gallon,

is 23 and -, but many dealers already
are paying more to get milk
Members of the subcommittee Will
come armed with figures to show that
the present cost of production is be-
tween % and 30 cents a gallon, leaving
a small margin for producers profit, IL
is claimed, even with the jump to 81
cents.
in accordance with the request OF
Herbert c. Hoover any price agreed
upon probably will be for only few

RUE. .BRATTON FIGHT PlEASES FAMS-GOES TEN
FAST ROUNDS TO A DRAW BUT POPULAR
VERDICT GIVES VICTORY To RUE

Yankee Rue and Jack Bratton
fought ten of the prettiest rounds
ever witnessed in this district In
Bio hall last night. Referee Don
Britton declared the bout a draw,
but the general verdict was the Rue
won the fight. From gong to gong
both men fought toe to toe and one
thing surely can be said that neither
can ever be accused of being a
Stacker.
Opening the first round the two
men spared only for a second and
then the fight started. 1t was a
storm of blows and honors seemed
fairly even.
In the second round Bratton scor-
ed a clean knock down. but Rue sat
still in the center of the ring until
the referee called the count of eight
when he jumped up like wild cat
and sprang at his opponent with all
the vigor of lion. This round could
be clearly credited to Bratton and 1t
looked like a safe lead at this early
stage of the game.
When the gong sounded for the
third round the two men sprang to
the center of the ring. Bratton lead
and missed and for his trouble he
received a vicious left swing on the
Jaw which made him vince. From
this point Rue took the reins and
lead his opponent through the bat
tie. He timed his blows and judged
his distance like the veteran of the
game that he Is and he had Bratton
covered with flowing blood In every
round.
There was little change during the
remaining rounds but the feature of
the battle was tho strength shown by
Bratton when he came from his cor
ner in each succeeding round after
having been sent back with the sound
of the gong practically defeated
man.
At the opening OF the tenth round
the two men sprang at each other evil

What the Girls Do.

The broken schedule has neceesi-
tated putting in something extra for
the girls. and they have had their
choice of three things, which are:
Surgical dressing, g1ee club and sew
Ing.
Surgical dressing Is conducted un-
der the supervision OF Miss Paul.
The material Is supplied by the Red
Cross Chapter of Ely. Nineteen are
enrolled In this and they will learn
to make roll drains, fracture pillows,
etc. A bandage roller has been or
dered to facilitate the rolling of
drains.
Sixteen OF the girls are organizing
glee club under the direction of
Miss FreeIand and Miss Frary.
The remaining girls are under Miss
Woods in the sewing room where lee
lures on household economies are
given.

| surprised even his most ardent a.
mirers. He Is a ring veteran and
evidently figured that his only ap-
portunity to gain favor with the ref
cree was to make one last and des-
perate effort. This he did and was
undoubtedly entitled to great credit
Taking the fight by all four corners,
however. his showing In this round
was by no means sufficient to over
come the lead that Rue gained early
and by earnest work held all through
the fight.
At least one thing was determined
last night and that Is that Ely has
better local talent than has ever been
imported. While the public In gen.
eral will patronize boxing cards which
show the stage feature from the out
side world they never will see bet
ter battle than that furnished by
Rue and Bratton and such exhibi-
tions are certainly entitled to gener-
Gus support.
Rue was laboring under difficulty
In his training due to the fact that he
has been much distressed by the se-
rious Illness of his wife, who has
been suffering from blood poisoning
for several weeks and 1t has only
been In the last few days that the
physicians have held out hope for her
recovery.
The scheduled six-round prelimin-
ary was well worth the price of three
admissions. Joe Herman of San
Jose knocked out Sam Kalamber of
Butte in the third round While It
lasted the fight was well worth wit
Messing Young Ketche1, just off the
battleship Texas, was the referee and
as third man In the ring showed q
thorough knowledge of the game.
Promoter Chambers announced
that Eddie johnson would be given

opponent has not been decided upon
II is generally conceded that Ketchel
Will show the class to warrant his
name appearing upon the board
against Johnson who Is classed as
one OF the greatest boxer In the west

Messrs. knight and Boman will
remain here until the local branch is
thoroughly established, and about all
that now remains to be done is for
the wage earners to take advantage
of the the opportunity offered them.
They can borrow on their own mney,
and local capital can be kept moving
around In our community whore ey-
cry dollar will be made to earn one

earners will now put their money in
their own homes here where property
is increasing in value by leaps and

find that In the next few years they
have laid by sweet little sum that
