Fire Destroys Offices of Two
Ellsworth Doctors

The Offices Of DR.. M. Oven and
DR.. Leland Elliott, located over the
Nash drug store at East Ellsworth,
were burned out about 1920 last
Friday night. DR.. Oyen's loss is
about$1, 400 and DR.. Elliott's about
81 200. Both carry insurance that
will partially cover the loss. AL

drug store below. stock there was
considerably damaged by water and
smoke.
The blaze came very near cleaning
out the whole block, only the timely
and efficient work of the fire depart

This was ElIsworth's fourth fire

week. Tuesday night the water

one Of the mains, and during the
two or three hours required to fix it
the village was entirely without fire

The Journal is printed on Wednes-

hereafter we will be able to- get out
the rural list in time for delivery on
Thursday mornings. We have been
considerably handicapped in this
since our first announcement a
couple of weeks ago. by the late ar
rival Of advertising, rural CORE
spondence, church and society items,
but we hope that such contributors
will realize the advantages Of the
earlier publication date and assist US
by getting in their copy in ample
time. Please keep this in mind and
get in as much of your copy before
noon on Tuesdays as possible. We
were forced to omit several items
last week on account of their late
arrival here, and for the same rea-
son this weeks issue will undoubted-
ly not be up to standard, but we
hope that all will soon become ac-
quainted with the new order and
will act accordingly.

High School Wins
From Galahad

The High School basketball team
journeyed to Hudson and returned
with the second game of the season
by the tune of 35 to 5. The team
work and passing of the locals were
too much for the Galahad boys and
if the High School team had been
able to make half of the easy shots
they had the score would have been
doubled. The first half started with
a rush and for about 5 minutes, the
Galahad team hardly touched the
ball but our boys couldn't locate the
strange basket. Finally Chinook
Gagged nice side shot, and from
then on there was nothing to it. The
Galahad team could do nothing
against the guarding of Peterson
and Smith, getting only couple
shots at the basket all the first half.
The first half ended 16 to 2. The
second half was repetition of the
first. Peterson made two nice bas-
kets in this half. Quinn and Chin
mock were the chief scorers each get
ting five baskets. George played an
exceptionally fast floor game and
many of Quinn's baskets were due to
Georges passing. Although the team
had difficulty in locating the basket,
their team work was far better than
they have shown before this year.
With two wins on the string already
they should make very good record
this year They will play the fast
Ellsworth quint here tomorrow Fri
day. evening.

It's You

If you want to live in the kind Of a
town,
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind
For there's nothing that's really
new;
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t ism your town-it's you!
Real towns aren't made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else get ahead;
When everyone works, and nobody
shirks,
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And, if, while you make a personal
stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you like
to see,
1t isn't your town it's YOU!

A carnival Special" Probable

Since the Journals suggestion of
last week regarding a special train
for one day at the ST. Paul carnival
this office has received dozens of in
quiries and suggestions on the sub
ject each day. It appears to be a
popular idea and the Journal has ar
ranged with Manager H. P. Wick
ham of the Carnival Association for
cooperation in securing the train.
Mr.. Wickham has taken up the
matter with the Northwestern road
and it is very probable that the train
will be secured. We have been I'm.
able to determine which of the car
nivaI days would prove most popular
with the people of this branch, but
we have asked Mr.. Wickham to go
ahead with it on the rather indefinite
advice that whatever day offers the
better program" will be most ac-
ceptable to this community.
More definite information will not
be obtainable before the Journal
goes to press, but we sincerely hope
that if the train is secured that the
people will respond with patronage
that will show that it is appreciated.
Defnate announcement will be made
in this paper next Thursday.

ton in public as we'll as business life.
The general understanding that
Inauguration day is for the Undue
ton of new president into office is
not the opinion held by those who
figure prominently in this city's af
fairs and incidentally feel that in
some unexplainable way the presi-
dent, Congress, and the government
belongs to the city. Every day the
local papers discuss plans for inaug-
uration, including parades, recep-
lions, balls and other social features
that once made Washington brilliant
on such occasions. AS the country
grows larger and the press of differ
ent interests becomes greater, dis
position is manifested to shorten pa
rades, cut out balls and eliminate
public receptions altogether. This
course does not meet with the ap-
proval of merchants, florists, hotels
and various local concerns that ev-
cry four years have reaped a harvest
Of sheckles on such occasions, not
that local interest is alone inspired
by gain, but that side presents at
tractive features of Inauguration to
local business interests. From pres
ent indications there will be no in
augural ball, only short parade and
the general arrangements will be ac-
cording to wishes of the White
House rather than those of outside
interests.

Stout LED BY Large Margin Up TO Last
Few Minutes---River Falls Sends
Crowd Into Frenzy of Excitement
by 11th Hour Rally

Stout Institute made her debut in
normal school conference ath-
letics last Friday evening. But
she proved to be no shy, bashful
bud" for up to the very last few
moments of the party she played the
leading role.
1t was about the most exciting
game ever played here. At the end
of the first half the visitors had IL
points and the locals had scored but
one field basket. The home rooters,
and there was a roomful of them,
anxiously awaited the opening of
the second period, in hopes that the
pedagogues would come back in a
burst of speed that would soon even
up the honors. But when a major
part of the final round had been
played and River Falls still remained
far behind, hope was about aban-
doned.
But, with scarcel y more than five
minutes left to play, the Red &
White suddenly cut loose in a daz-
zling exhibition of lightning team
work and individual play that COM
pletely baffied their opponents, and
just as the shot was fired announc-
ing the close Of the game Eggebrecht
tied the score at Fl points.
1t was decided that an extra peri
cd Of five minutes would be played
to determine the winner. River
Falls kept up the pace and in the ex-
ira session scored four more baskets,
while Stout did not get single OPP
portunity even for try at goal dur
ing that time. The final score was
20 to FL.
Otto Eggebrecht was the star of
the game, scoring eight field baskets.
Capt. Bethel made three field shots
and three free throws. Eccles and
Thorpe each made basket. Peter
son and Rice both played great at
the guard positions.
Stout's quint is we'll balanced, and
their team work was exceptional.
With the lead they secured they
should have won, but their endur-
ance was not as great as that of the
local boys, who played stronger than
ever at the last, while the Stout
coach had to run in substitutes for
men who were exhausted. Capt.
Lambert of Stout could not bring
himself to "cut out the rough stuff, I"
and he was put out Of the game.
The Stout players were Lambert,
Korack, O'Hara and Fogarty,
guards; CARLSON and Tilleson, cen
ter; Stewart and McDermitt, for
wards.
This game wound up in much the
same manner as the River Falls
Stout football contest of the past
season. Stout led by a score Of z to
0 up to the last quarter, when the
Red & White rallied and scored three
touchdowns in rapid succession. win
ming by Fl to z.
Tomorrow evening the Normal
school minstrel show will be held in
the school auditorium. The next
game of the championship series will
be played here Jan. 26 with Superb
