rather had the better of the Badgers,

tables on the afternoon of the 18th.
Saturday at Washington park the
local high school gridders will play
its third game of the season against
the Portage high. The locals held
their opponents this season to one
touchdown which was secured by the
Wauwatosa Aggies in their first game
with the local high. The oval was
pushed over seventeen times by the
locals before play was stopped in this
game. Next Saturday the team will
again try to hold their opponents
scoreless. Coach Thomas is giving
his athletes the stiffest of any weeks
practice. The two games that were
played this season gave the coach an
opportunity to remedy the weak spots
on the eleven. His athletes are get

At the Theatres

Said to be the supreme Offering of
filmdom is 1.-The Whip" which will be
shown for the last time tonight at the
Classic. 1t is the screen version of
the play that ran for three years in
London and for over two seasons in
New York city when it was pro-
duced there by William A. Brady. 1t
was so vast in it's equipment of scenes
and effects that it could be produced
in only three or four theatres in all
America-such as the Manhattan Op-
era house in New York and the Audi
forum, Chicago. For this reason 1t
has been seen by less than 10 per cent
Of the theatre patrons of the United
States. This vastness has been i'm
measurably increased by the resources
of motion picture art Tremendous
effects have been secured, as, for in
stance, the gigantic train wreck In
which whole train is mashed to bits
for the sole purpose Of securing one
scene for this picture. This scene is
but one of the many that will be seen
in this wonderful picture.
o.
Friday at the Classic three different
pictures will be offered to the public
The second episode OF Sons of De-
mocracy, The Call to Arms, Hands Up
and the Luke comedy are the three
star attractions. The Sons of Democ-
racy is an instructive picture Chill
dren who are taking up history sub
jects, dealing with the life of Lincoln
will find this picture most appropri-
ate. Every picture deals with a diff
ferent phase. The manager OF the
theatre will probably arrange for a
special showing of the picture to
school children in the afternoon OF
the nights the picture is booked.

ARE ALL ELIGIBLE
FOR ROLL OF HONOR

Letters have been received in this
city from boys attending the S. A. r.
G. in the various schools Of the state
asking why their names do not ap-
pear on the honor roll When the roll
was first thought of only the names
of enlisted men and those who an
swered the draft calls were compiled.
Even then there were mistakes made
which had to be rectified and the re-
suit is the present Honor Roll, which
is still incomplete, but will be finally
finished by the city council commit
tee
II the names of the Watertown boys
in the S. A. T. G. are to go on the roll,
the names should be compiled so that
justice may be done all, as it was al
most impossible to keep track Of
those who entered this training CORPS
Justice should be done everyone, as
there is glory enough for ALL
The compilation of the honor roll
was first made and published in the
Watertown News May 20, 1918. 1t was
compiled by Leo Jellison, then a re-
porter ON the News and who later en-
listed in the army and now at Balti-
more. The list has been added to since
then from the draft lists and men
known to have enlisted in the service
so far as could be ascertained.

REDWOOD TO HAVE
ELECTRIC LIGHTING
IN near FUTURE
Busting Village Northwest of Water
town VIII Soon Install Street
Lamps and Lighting For
Residences.

Redwood is to have an electric light
ing system. Not to be behind other
small towns in this section the people
there have decided to patronize an
electric lighting plant. The Delco
system will be installed consisting OF
a gas engine, dynamo, wiring, etc. The
sale was made by F. J. Klinger of the
Klinger & Mayer company of Water
town and will be put in operation as
soon as received.
Herman RadlOff of Redwood, an en-
terprising business man, is the one
who made the purchase and will look
after the plant. He will furnish the
light both for street illumination and
for residences as we'll and this innova-
ton will doubtless be greatly appre-
ciated both by the people of the viii
lage, but also by visitors to the place
during the evening. The equipment
will have capacity of ITO volts.
The neighboring villages of Clyman
and Milford have installed electric
lighting plants and are we'll satisfied
with results. 1t is said that Hubbleton
is also contemplating the venture and
that bustling little village will doubt
less keep abreast of it's sister villages.
The Watertown firm of Klinger &
Mayer Co. are responsible dealers and
are meeting with much success in the
establishment of the Delco light.
