times as much as that used by the
bakers, and nine times the amount

dated Oct. 10, 1912. giving a report o
the defunct bank creditors meeting

thereto, we find statement which, fol
creditors to read now, is anything but

and the directors are victorious, as
was reasonable to expect, there being
no semblance of gain or willful neglect
on their part. The s25, 900 offered by
them was simply their estimate of the

SCHOOL NOTES.

, Basket ball seems to be the center o
interest at present. Because of tht
good showing this season in winning
i've out of seven games, Mineral Poin
was selected by the directors OF
the State Tournament at Apple
ton to represent southwestern Wis.
Wisconsin in an elimination game with
the New Glarius team at Monroe or
Tuesday of this week. The game re-
suited IL to Ia in favor of New Glarius.
The game was close all of the way and
the result in doubt till the whistle blew.
The very close work of the referee,
which was new to our team. gave us a
large number of fouls and the game
was won by the six free throws made
by New Glarius.
The showing made by Mineral Point
this season has been somewhat of a
surprise as this is only our second
basket bah season and we have been
greatly handicapped on accent of the
condition of the gymnasium.
Before crowd which packed every
inch of the gymnasium, Mineral Point
defeated Dodgeville last Wednesday
night by score of 35 to 81. The game
was probably the closest and hardest
fought contest ever seen on the local
floor. The score was tie at the end
of the game and it took three extra
five-minute periods to decide the con-
test. Mineral Points hopes of admin
istering decisive defeat to her oppo-
nents was small early in the week be-
cause of the sickness of three men and
an injury to another. As Dodgeville
had postponed the game number of
times we decided to take chance with
the hospital list" rather than ask for
a postponement. In the evening
and could not play, and this seemed to
take away all chances of winning.
Nevertheless the boys went into the
game with determination that brought
them victory. Dodgeville did not bring
along the second team and SO the pre-
liminary game could not be played as
advertised. A game was hastily ar
ranged between the End and 3rd teams
and played as preliminary.
Our crippled team went to Platteville
Saturday and met its Waterloo. Platte
vile plays in dance hall on a slippery
floor and easily defeats all visiting
teams. We held them to % points
which is the lowest score they have
made against visitors this season.
They scored 46 points against Dodge
vile a week ago.
The basket ball team goes to Platte
vile on Thursday to take part in the
Tournament at the Normal. Sixteen
teams will take part in the Tournament.
The winning team represents this
district in the Normal State Tourna-
ment at Stevens Point.
A Junior Red Cross Auxiliary has
been organized in the grades with a
large membership. An effort will be
made to make Mineral Point a 100 per
cent school, All of the children are
working with enthusiasm, some are
knitting, others sewing Later on an
exhibit will be made of the children's
work.

the program for assembly Friday
