highs at Washington park Saturday
afternoon by score Of 81 to 0.
The field was muddy and slow. Ere
quent fumbling by both sides and con-
tinued beefing on the part Of Fond du
LAC made it one Of the poorest games
played on the home grounds. truth,
coach for Fond du Lac, wanted every
one to know that the decisions handed
20 his team were unfair. Watertown
vas penalized several times as was
Fond du Lac, and if Mr.. truth would
overlook the personal side Of it he
would readily admit that the decis
.ons as made were fair at all times,
when the condition of the field is
taken into consideration.
truth had a few heavy men on his
squad. One in particular in the back
.ield weighed about 220 and it took
three Watertown men to spill him
when he got started. The rest of the
team was too light for Thomas squad.
Kaminski made the first touchdown
in the first quarter after long run
through center by Henke. Watertown
then kicked off and Fond du Lac re-
turned the ball to the center of the
.Ield and then Wegemann copied a
forward pass. Watertown fumbled the
oaIl and lost 20 yards before they re-
covered it. Buffmeier made up the loss
on an end run. Henke made first down
Ind Wegemann carried it over the
line for the second touchdown.
Watertown kicked off and Fond du
Lac was forced to punt on down. Hen
ke returned the ball yards and Veg
emann took it for 40 yards more.
denke went over for the third touch
down. Following poor decision by
Umpire Vetter in which he cheated
Watertown out of touchdown, Veg
emann made up the penalty and Buff
meier scored the fourth touchdown.
rond du Lac kicked off and Buffmeier
on a brilliant run returned the ball.
denke made Is yard run with Won
derful Interference Buffmeier scored
and Woodland kicked his second goal.
Henke scored the next touchdown in
the third quarter. Kaminski scored
The next counter with Is yard run
through center. Wegemann went over
tor the last counter by making Is
yards. The final score was So to 0.
Thomas sent in his second team
with about ten minutes to play and
the youngsters pushed the visitors to
their one yard line and were just get
ting ready to put the ball over for the
| final count when time was called.
Watertown was in danger but once
| from the visitors and that in the first
| quarter, when the visitors kicked off
and recovered the ball on Water
town tumble and carried it to the 20
yard line from where they were
forced to punt as the locals held them

WILL START ON
new HIGHWAY
next SPRING
Federal Aid Road Through Water
town First Line To Be Built
VIII Begin At Both
Ends.

Work on the new Federal aid high
through Watertown will begin next
spring. The plans and specifications
are now on file at Jefferson for the
construction of the highway through
Jefferson county. Another highway
will pass through Jefferson east and
west from Madison and another
branch will touch Fort Atkinson and
meet the Jefferson road further east,
making one southern route into Mil
waukee and one northern route, being
the Watertown route There will also
be the north and south line which will
pass through GAINESVILLE. Jefferson,
Watertown and Fond du Lac.
The system of roads hinge on the
points, Milwaukee, Madison, Fond du
Lac, Portage and Eau Claire. The to-
tai cost of their construction is to be
SAC 100000 of which the United States
pays a third, the state third and the
county a third. The counties will pay
for maintenance, but will receive
much of the cost in the distribution of
auto and other vehicle licenses by the
state. The total cost of maintenance
is estimated at nearly $1,000,000 a
year. The federal aid highway trunk
system of the state comprises about
5000 miles of road in all counties of
the state. All county clerks have been
notified, and the routes will be pub
lished officially in each county The
mileage by counties is subject to cor
rection after additional surveys. 1t

Northwestern held the fast ST.
Johns cadet team of Delafield to a 6
to tie in thirty-five minutes of play
on the college campus Friday after
noon.
The visitors brought ITO men with
them. Thirty-five football men were
also brought along. Zeisler made a SO
yard run for touchdown The play
ing of Henning was up to old form and
helped hold the visitors. Northwestern
fought gamely and it's followers are
confident that if the field had been
dry they would have whipped the ca
diets. The local backfield is much
faster than the cadet team.
A return game will probably be
played in the near future Arrange
ments for a game Tuesday were post
poned owing to the fact that the first
team will play Milton at Milton on
Wednesday,

TO PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS


It pays to produce infertile eggs
Many merchants are now paying an
extra price for these eggs, according
to Ross NJ. Sherwood OF the depart.
ment Of poultry husbardry In the Kan

Two classes Of merchants buy eggs
from the farmers. One pays . slight
increase In price for infertile eggs
and the other pays the same price for
both fertile and infertile eggs. The
swat-the-rooster movement made 1t
possible for the farmer to market In
fertile eggs.
Formerly the farmer was not paid

eggs as the merchants did not know
the value Of the infertile eggs for mar
ket purposes. pointed out Mr.. SHEER

brought to the attention Of the mep-

premium for infertile eggs because
they will keep much better. He Will

ket with the assurance that they will
grade as first and seconds, instead OF
rots when they reach their destina-
tion-
