ELLSWORTH EQUITY VOTES
TO WITHHOLD DUES
Ellsworth Record)

The Ellsworth local, A. S. of E.,
the largest local union in the state,
voted Saturday at special meeting,
to withhold payment of dues to the
state union, thereby severing its con-
nection with the state organization.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of listening to the report Of the
delegates to the state convention held
last month. The reporting delegates
were E. w. Campbell and Norman
Peterson. C. E. Hanson, River Falls,
president of the county union, also
made an address.
The delegates in their talks said
that the American Society of Equity
at present was in a bad way both
financially and otherwise. They
charged the state officers with doing
things that were prejudicial to the
best interests of the farmers; that
large sums were being spent that
were unwarranted and that too much
money was used in the payment OF
salaries, and that the use of the So
ciety as stepping stone to the per-
sonal political ambitions of some of
the officers were largely to blame for
the present difficulties of the society.
They reported that the national
union was practically defnnct.
At the conclusion Of the report the
vote was taken which was unanimous
to withhold payment of dues. There
were about $50 members present.
Another resolution was passed ask
ing that the County Union begin to
organize the Equity members in
Pierce county or to keep up the pres
ent county organization for the pres
ent at least or until such time that
the present policies of the state union
are dropped and policies adopted with
which Equity members in Pierce
county are in accord. In case the
Equity society fails to "come back"
by keeping the county organization
intact it could affiliate with some 9TH
err farm organization.
1t is the opinion of many members
of the Ellsworth local that all locals
in the county will take similar action
in regard to withholding dues from
the state union.

LOCAL BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION

The many people who have bought
lots in the various additions bid fair
to be able to build homes on them
very soon. The Pasco Real Estate
Board, of which w. HI. Putnam is the
advocate locally, has taken up the
matter of extending the charter re-
Gently secured by the New Richmond
boosters and make it workable over
the whole of Pierce and st. CroiX
counties.
These organizations are co-operat-
i've, and arc financed by subscription
of stock in the company. Stockhold-
ers only can have the privileges of the
loans available ct low rates OF inter-
est and long time. There is reason
to believe that many people will build
next year provided that they can fl
nance the deal, and with declining
prices Of material and labor it will
be quite possible to see River Falls
grow next year as never before.

SPRING VALLEY BEATS
JOHNSON & HAGG CLOTHIERS

Playing a sensational brand of bas-
ketball, the Spring Valley CONNER
cial Cub five on Tuesday night de-
feated the Johnson & Hagg Clothing
Co. team on the local floor by score
of 81 to 10.
The visitors displayed as stellar a
brand of teamwork as has been seen
on the Ellsworth floor in some moons
and their work was hard and clean
from start to finish.
The locals presented a good lines
up for the fray and played the invad-
ers on even terms during the first
half which ended II to Is. They
used their heads between halves and
came forth for the final session with
a change in lineup, working two men
against Lloyd Rice, the husky local
center. The Valley obtained a safe
lead before Armstrong broke into the
limelight with half a dozen sensa-
tional shots from long range which
placed his team far in the lead.
Rice played a sensational game
although closely guarded. Headrics
tossed in three baskets and Hyatt
one. Cannon played hard game
against Fox. Armstrong Fox anC
ZittIeman were the stars for Spring
Valley Ellsworth Herald.

GOOD GAME AT MINNEAPOLIS
River Falls Loses 2S-13, But Makes
Varsity Stars Hustle.


The fact that Minnesota was play
ing on her own floor was the main
factor responsible for a % to 13 vic
tory over the River Falls Normal
quint last Saturday night. The Ma
room and Gold snipers were better ac-
quainted with the court and won out
by good luck with long shots at the
net, while the Red & White players
were decidedly out of luck in their
field shots.
In team work the Pedagogues show
ed up the varsity squad throughout
the game. They also compared fav-
orably with the varsity, man for man,
Oss' phenomenal luck on long shots
being the only feature in which the
"U' had any advantage.
Chinook held Arnston to 3 field
goals and made two himself. Rice
out-played Hultkrans at center, and
Carolan showed more speed than any
other player on the floor. He only
scored one field shot, but he had mis-
cradle luck in having the ball circle
the ring, balance precariously and
then fall outside. He made five free
throws in as many chances.
Gurnoe, guarded by the speedy Sui
.livan, managed to get away for one
basket, and was criticised some for
not taking more shots instead of hold
ing so close to the team play when
near the enemy basket.
Morrow, playing stationary guard,
broke up the Maroon and Gold team
work in Normal territory and forced
them to long shots.
The varsity mentor, recognizing the
fact that better break in the luck
would at any time give the Red and
White a chance to win, dared not run
in any second string men, and kept
the original lineup on the floor thru
out the game.

"They are no more my children than
yours" is Herbert Hoover's homely yet
eloquent plea for 100000 European
children who face incredible tragedy
this winter unless America comes to
their rescue. The funds by which
American aid has been feeding mill
lions have run out, and that the work
may not stop and thus precipitate
what would amount to "a massacre OF
the innocents" seven other great Amer
lean relief organizations have united
with Mr.. Hoover's organization under
the name of the European Relief Coun-
ell in a joint appeal for funds. The
collaborating agencies are the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers), the
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee,
