Barager Webster Co. Expands.

The Rarager- Webster company has
bought the building formerly occu-
pied by the Eau Claire Construction
company, 8l0-12 First avenue, and
will manufacture and wholesale a
general line of candies there after
Feb. Is.
The two floors of the new plant will
give 1000 feet of space for the day
light factory. Raymond B. Webster
is at present buying equipment in
Chicago.
Recently the stock of the corpora
tion was increased from S., 900 to $780,
600 to meet the need of expanding
business, to which is due also the
change of location from 800 South
Farwell street.
While clerking in Branstad's drug
store several years ago, Irving G.
Barager, who had charge of the pre-
scription department and Raymond
B.. Webster, candy maker, planned
the manufacture of a popular priced
candy. After several financial ram
ures, the industry was getting a good
start when both young men entered
the army service. So, except as
Webster made candy for the Red
Cross and Y. M. G. A. at ST. Nazaire,
where he was stationed in medical
service, confectionery interests were
in allegiance. In April of last year
the manufacture of Webster's famous
fudge and Webster's famous assort-
ment WAS resumed.
Such success has greeted the project
that the candy company has put Eau
Claire on the map by regular sales in
800 cities, the makers books show, in

LOCALS WON FROM
NATION FRIDAY
Defeated Downstate Quintet
81 to 8 in Snappy Game
Birnamwood on for
This Evening.

Eagle River High romped. away
with a 80 to s victory over the Mat
toon high school basketball team on
the local floor last Friday evening"
From the outset of the game to the
final whistle the game was in no dan
ger of being lost by the home boys.
With team work that puzzled their
opponents the boys played consis
tent game, scoring steadily as the
play progressed. At the end of the
first half the score was Is TO 2, Mat
toon getting its lone two by long
shot thrown by Blum, their star per-
former. A change in lineup slowed
the game somewhat in the opening
minutes of the second half but the
new combination socn got down to
business and at the end of the game
were playing the same swift brand of
basketball that characterized the first
half Mattoon scored six more points
in the final period to Eagle Rivers
fourteen, making the total 81 TO 5,
the biggest score the home team has
rolled up against its opponents in any
game this season.
1t was the first game seen on the
home floor III several weeks and the
team work and speed of the quintet
showed up in strong contrast TO their
playing in former games. Eagle High
has developed snappy basketball
team. Their team work and swift
passing, coupled with accurate basket
shooting, won the game for them Fri
day. Every man on the team was up
on his pins all the time, giving the
Mattoonians plenty of work to do
in guarding and breaking up forma-
tions. The visitors played good
clean game and were speedy but they
couldn't hold the ball long enough for
many attempts at the baskets. Few
fouls were called on either side. The
Mattoon team defeated Eagle River
by one point several weeks ago.
The game was full of surprises for
local fans. johnson played the best
game he ever uncovered on the home
floor. He tossed the first two baskets
at the opening Of the game and piled
in another before the half was over,
In the last half he nailed two more in
the last two minutes OF play. Donald
Morgan gets the credit for twenty
points of the score, playing a steady
game that netted him ten points in
each half Smith, the speedy center,
copied the other basket. butcher,
Francis Morgan, Stein and Bent did
some great guarding. Their work.
while it does not show up on the
score card, made the tallies of the
other members of the team possible.
The score follows:

This is the moment Of moments for
us to find our unity, our spiritual
solidarity, without sacrificing our
diversity and that which is most dis
tinctive to each of our communions
and which, by the way, is the choicest
possession we have.
The reason why we Of each denomi-
nation most value that which is dis
tinctive to us is not simply because it
is ours, but because we honestly be-
Iieve it is the truth. 1t is our choicest
possession. Without sacrificing our
distinctiveless we want to realize our
unity and solidarity as we gather
round the figure of our Lord with open
minds, responsive hearts and, | would
say, hair trigger whisky that ! mean
wills that are eager to leap into action
when we see clear path.

NURSES TRAINING
SCHOOL GROWING
Milwaukee Institution Offers
Practical Courses in Home
Nursing and Domestic
Science.

The Bureau of Home Nursing re-
ceiyed BOB calls for nurses in January.
This figure shows how much Milwau-
kee needs the training school. Altho-
the school is growing steadily, still
the Bureau could not take care of the
3O3 calls that came in and many Mil
waukee families actually suffered be-
cause of lack of trained workers.
.Nafsing as vocation gives young
woman q very excellent means of live
lihood, and at the same time affords
her an opportunity of being an active
agent for betterment in her commu-
nifty.
Applicants for the course of train
ing need have only an eighth grade
education, they must have good
health, and must be 20 years old, or
in exceptional cases girls of Is are ac-
cepted
The Bureau of Home Nursing was
organized by the Society for the Care
of the Sick and two years ago the
beautiful Trostel home was given to
the society for use as a training
school. Girls from out of town can
thus live in beautiful and homelike
surroundings, enjoying the sociability
of the other girls while in training.
The living expenses during training
are covered by the Society.
The coulse consists OF six months
of training and this includes two
months of lectures and lessons, two
months of hospital experience at
Beaver Dam or Waukesha and two
months in home nursing. During
their training at the school, the girls
learn how to buy food, prepare and
serve meals and are given practical
instructions in house work. The
course of lectures and lectures in
cludes lectures on anatomy and phys
iology, on obstetrical work, and on
practical points in nursing. The fac
ulty is made up of an excellently
trained staff with Mrs Frances
Smith as superintendent. Mrs. Smith
is graduate of Columbia University,
school Of domestic science, and Of Mi
chael Reese hospital, Chicago, and is
a registered nurse. Extra lectures
are given by Milwaukee physicians
who have lent assistance and support
at all times in the work of the Blu
reau The young women who COM
plete the six months of training are
known as cadette nurses, and their
work is supervised by the superin-
tendent of the school,
The Bureau is financially supported
by the centralized budget of charities,
by private donations and by the cases
of home nursing taken care of by the
Bureau.

New Dog Law Protects Sheep.

The state department of agriculture
is now calling attention to the enor-
nous destruction of sheep in this
state by dogs, preliminary to the en-
forcement of the new dog law passed
by the 1919 legislature.
G. P. Norgord, head of the depart
ment, in a recent address told Of u
flock of sheep near Portage which
was attacked one night by two dogs
whose owners would have sworn they
would never touch a sheep. Yet in
that one night u sheep were either
killed outright by the two dogs or so
mutilated that they had to be killed.
Mr.. Norgord saw the flock the morn
ing after. One sheep had the skin
torn from it's flank and a large part of
the ham was eaten off. Yet the sheep
was still alive. Another had one leg
torn off. Another had it's entire alb
domen fayed Some had their ears
and part of.their faces eaten off, and
one was SO torn that its intestines
protruded and dragged on the ground
as it walked.
In view of this and many similar
disasters, Mr.. Norgord feels that the
new dog law is not too drastic. Ev-
cry tax assessor must list the dogs in
his district, and he gets for his SER
vices 20 cents for each dog listed,
this compensation to come from the
dog license fund.
Before June Both Of this year every
dog owner must secure a license for
the dogs he owns. The licenses will
cost So for male dog and SIS for a
female. All dogs found after July i,
1920 without license tag will be
seized and if not claimed and Ii
cense secured by the owner the dog
is to be killed. The officer who seizes
the licenseless dogs will receive ST.
for each one seized.
The new dog law is chapter sgt,
laws of 1919.

If Christ, on the day He was born,
mad started on tour to preach in ev-
cry village in India, He would still
have 10000 more to visit.
We now believe we have found a
way by which the leaders of the Prot
estant churches can sit around COM
mon table and have the Christian pro-
gram of the entire world laid before
them. BY means of the Interchurch
World Movement we can see where
the Methodists are, and where the
Baptists are. We can see the general
outline of their forces, their present
status in this great world struggle,
and may also nave some idea Of the
anoccupied places, and what may be
done by all of us to enter these unoc-
cupied parts of the world field which

Factors Of Uncertainty.

That political party which thinks
it has victory within its grasp this
year is living in FOOLS paradise.
Republicans are confident that dis
satisfaction with the Democrats will
make~it easy for them to win. DEM
ocrats say that they are convinced
chat the Republicans cannot win.
Probably neither side has measured
all the great forces that are at work.
The uncertain factors were never
more numerous than this year.
There is the labor vote, heretofore
always divided. Who can tell what
will happen in year when labor is
better organized and more conscious
of its aims than ever befOre2 The
American Federation of Labor sends
out a warning to its memberships
stand by its historic non-partisan
policy and practically serves notice
Upon the political parties that labor
is waiting to see what they are going
to do. The A. f. L. has member
ship of 100000. Should it vote to-
gether, it will hold the balance of
power.
Another factor is the radical vote.
The Socialists will probably not make
much of showing, bnt the Social
list party. the Communist and the
Communist Labor parties, the new
ly-born Labor party and the forty
Fighters may in the aggregate poll
very substantial number of votes
Whence will these votes come?
There is keen interest in the
League of Nations, a strong feeling
in support of it that disiegards party
ties. If the league plan becomes an
issue in the campaign, the vote is
likely to upset the calculations of
politicians.
Who can say how the women are
going to vote? Many of them are
showing that they are not deceived
by old campaign cries and methods.
They, together with an undoubtedly
large body of men voters who are
keeping their own counsel and, like
Mr.. Hoover, waiting to be shown,
cannot be counted for any party.
These factors of uncertainty are a
hopeful sign because they compel po-
litical parties to bid strongly by the
quality of their candidates and
their platforms, for the votes of the
people. Milwaukee Journal.

like another speedy game. Mattoon
broke even with that team, winning
one and losing one by a small margin
each time. If the boys play up in the
good form shown at the last game,
and that's their intention, fans will
get their moneys worth.
After the Nation game the major
ity of the spectators stayed for the
social dance, which was very crafty
ing to the team as it helped out on

bringing in outside teams to play

good support from the citizens is it
made possible.
