River Falls Retains
State Championship

For the second time in two years
the Red & White waves triumphant
over all the other normal school BAN
ners of the state in football and bas-
ketball honors, winning four cham
pionships each season. In 1915 River
Falls won out in football over La
Crosse for the northern circuit title
and downed Whitewater for the state
flag. In basketball it took three
games last year to eliminate La
Crosse in the northern division. but
the state pennant was won in two
straight games from Milwaukee.
Last fall Stevens Point and La
Crosse were both strong contenders
for the football title in this division,
but River Falls won from both, and
then beat Milwaukee in the state
championship game.
In basketball this year Stevens
Point appeared to have cinch upon
the northern title up to the very last
series, having previously won from
all others by large margin, includ-
ing River Falls. Then came the re-
turn game here, when River Falls
won. The third game was played at
Stout, and River Falls put the Point
out of the running by a great rally
in the last few minutes of play.
The first game for the state title
was played at Whitewater last Fri
day, River Falls winning Sc to II.
The return game, played here Mon
day night, proved an easy victory
for the Red & White. Whitewater
had good team, but they were not
in class with River Falls. After
the series of whirlwind games with
Stevens Point the fans were sorely
disappointed in the exhibition which
clinched the state pennant. Had
River Falls played half the game
they did at Menomonie their score
would undoubtedly have been at
least tripled. River Falls gained a
substantial lead in the first few min
utes and contented themselves with
merely holding that advantage. The
final tally was 80 to 16.
Professor Swenson appeared at
the game, getting out for the first
time since his sudden illness three
week ago, and he was given a hearty
welcome by players and fans.
The Wisconsin state normal school
basketball champions are Capt. Bet
eel, Eccles, and Thorpe, forwards;
Eggebrecht, center; Peterson and
Rice, guards.

will not be secured. Testing gives
the actual facts. Any other method
is more or less guess work. Each
farmer then has the exact facts and
he knows If it pays to buy feed.
These figures below show very
strikingly how animals of high pro-
ductive capacity may be underfed.
They were matured cows and the
difference in the returns the two
years must be attributed largely to
better feed and management.

Cow Testing Associations Pay

Five years ago a cow testing asso-
citation was organized in the vicinity
of River Falls and Roberts. This
organization has continued in opera
ton during this time and is now one
of the oldest in the state in years of
continuous service. This fact leads
to the belief that it must be filling a
real need in the communities where
it exists.
IT might be interesting to those
living in this vicinity to know some
of the results of the work as it has
been carried on from year to year.
Each year careful study of the
records have been made and all the
figures that are given in this article
are taken from the herd books of
the farmer. The man who is mem
Der of this association has complete
and exact record of the actual profit
of each cow in his herd. If cow is
found that is not paying well for her
keep she is soon eliminated. One
farmer found that he had taken care
of a COW for a year and received
81. so for the entire year s work above
the cost of feed. This COW if sold
for beef would easily have brought
$4,000; without any expenditure of
labor this money would at least have
earned double the returns that were
secured from the years work. 1t is
needless to say this cow was sold.
Any animal that belongs to a cow
testing association must prove her
worth. Looks don't always make a
good cow. Testing eliminates all
guess work. Here she is valued as
one would value any business. Dairy
ing is strictly a business proposition
and the man who succeeds must
apply the same principles. A little
over year ago member purchased
q grade COW for S75 90. This animal
was put under test at once and has
just completed a years record. Dur
ing this time she produced $40
pounds of butterfat, the best COW in
his herd. Surely the first owner
would not have sold her if these facts
had been available. Too often are
the best cows sold. A heifer calf
from this COW must be valued highly.
Statements are made by some that
it does not pay to buy high priced
feeds for COWS. In order to be sure
of a statement it is necessary to have
the facts. Some animals will return
good profits for feed, others will not.
Surely no one wishes to supply
enough feed to produce 40 pounds
of milk when the animal is only cap
able Of yielding 20 pounds. Yet is
it poorer management to supply feed
for only 20 pounds of milk when she
is capable of yielding 40 pounds. If
one dollar invested in feed will re-
turn $500 of butter fat this feed
will be purchased. If it is shown
that this expenditure does not result
in an increased value of fat the feed |

RAILROAD RUMBLES
PENNSY SHOWS
NET DECREASE
Officials Expect That In
crease in Rates Will Partly
Increase Costs

Income statements of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and system companies
for May again show greater increases
in expenses than in revenues. These
and other railroad statements will be
studied in connection with the ad-
vanced freight rates authorized last
Commission. Exactly what they will
stated in any authoritative way, but
the is cents per ton on coke and Bit
luminous and the higher class rates
will make an important addition to
revenues.
May Decreases
For May the decreases in railway
operating revenue of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Pennsylvania Com
pany and Pittsburgh. Cincinnati.
Chicago and st. Louis Railroad-the
three chief segments of the big sys-
tem-totaled $1,5SS.000. An average
increase of So per cent. in the freight
earnings would have cleared that de-
crease by a small margin.
In the case of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road proper an average increase of
43 per rent. in the freight revenue
would hace made good the decrease
of $6S2,000 in the company's net in
come available for dividends. AS IL
was, the net income for May was at
a rate of more than 10 per cent per
annum on the capital stock outstand-
ing being s,299,000. 1t takes not
quite $30,000,000 a year, or $4,000. 900
per month, to cover the established

The FIRST line OF DEFENSE

Pure blood is the body's first line OF
defense against disease.
Healthy blood contains small
amounts of antitoxins that neutralize
the poisons of invading germs or de-
stroy the germs themselves. That is
why so many people exposed to dis
ease do not contract it. Those whose
blood is weak and therefore lacking in
defensive power are most liable to in
fection. Everybody may observe that
healthy, red-blooded people are less
liable to attacks of cold and the grip
than are pale, bloodless people.
To build up the blood there is one
remedy that has been a household
word Hor a generation, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do the rest.
Two books, Building Up the Blood"
and "What to Eat and How to Eat"
give Just the information that every
mother of a growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to the
DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells

Liver and Stomach
Trouble Knocked Out
By the Champion Medicine
Sanpan

Mr.. Emanuel Robinson, 1925 Will
liam street, Harrisburg, says:
II sure was miserable, day after
day I drudged along scarcely able
to do my work.
"A torpid liver and poor stomach
action had weakened me, made me
very nervous, caused severe head
ache, and gave rise to a catarrhal
condition in my head and throat.
MY appetite was bad and often
after eating or rather, forcing down
some food, I would suffer with
cramps that would seem to be
around the heart. I was sure all
bunged up, and very much discour-
aged as well, as l coud not get per-
manent relief, sometimes I would
be better for a day or so and think
that things were coming around
o. K, only to have a relapse the
next day, this took the heart out of
me as everything was apparently
going wrong.
"One day I noticed a Sappan al
in the naper, but did not pay niu'h il
attention &c it, as 1 had, tiled sev-
eral remedies without results; bit
as l continued TO see day after day,
reports of its good work, I made
up my mind that it. must be good,
and decided to give it a trial.
1T soon began to do the work,
and to-day am feeling fine; have no
headaches, nerves have settled,
stomach is fine, liver fixed up, head
and throat have cleared, and Sau-
pan did 1t for me-"

GREAT WAR TAX
BILL REDRAF'TED
More Changes Scheduled in
Senate and in Confer
ence Committee
By Associated Prcss


washington, July 3.-The war tax
bill, redrafted and reduced to $1,67O.-
10000 by the Senate finance commit
tee. as against the $500, ,OO0, 900 Of
additional war taxes provided as 1t
came from the House, was completed
to-day.
Vastly increased income taxes and
leVies upon excess profits resulting

form the bulk of the new taxation
measure, the largest in the country's
history.

excess profits of corporations, part
nerships and individuals, $523, 900, 900; 4;

ests. The Senate committee rejected
the 10 per cent. general tariff increase,
designed to raise 100000, 600, and
substituted consumption taxes upon
coffee. tea, suger and cocoa, estimated
to yield SS6,00O,000.
