Tobacco Notes.

ii. E. Pease of Sun Prairie, connect
ed with the p Lorillard interests in
that place, was in Edgerton Tuesday.
He says things are quiet in the market
up there. Very slow movement in old
goods. The tobacco in the sheds has
cured under very favorable conditions,
and very little damage reported. The
Lorillards are running stemming crews
IN their warehouses at Madison and La
Crosse, but the smaller places in the
state have been closed
The Associated Press carried last
week the story of an action started
under the anti-profiteering law, passed
by the last legislature, against the big
tobacco companies operating in Wiscon-
sin. Attorney General Morgan is said
to have started an action in the Mil
waukee circuit court last Friday which
may result in forfeiture of the COM
panles named of their charters, or in
injunctions to restrain them from COM
binations in restraint of trade and fair
competition. Mr.. Morgan is quoted as
having made the statement that the
so-called tobacco combination set out
to control the tobacco market and elm
mate competition and has been largely
successful. .'Their price fixing COM
bination not only hit the consumer, :"
he said, ''but, by controlling distribu-
ton, it largely eliminated competition
in buying, and Wisconsin tobacco grow
ers have suffered under their exploita-
ton because the combination through
it's control of the selling end could die
tate what prices would be paid for leaf
tobacco"

Football

Although Edgerton came out on
the looser's end Saturday when the
local High School was defeated by
Monroe, nevertheless the players and
coaches feel that it was one of those
unavoidable defeats. Defeated though
they were, the Crimson team de-
serves great credit because they at
all times played clean, sportman's
game
The score of $50 does not show
the strength of the team. Edgerton
gained as much ground as Monroe
through the lines but could not score
against Monroe's eleven men and
their trick players.
But one penalty was called on Mon
roe and that was when a few men of
the crowd refused to let the penalty
go. Monroe players were guilty OF
holding, interfering with passes,
smuggling, piling up, offside and vari-
Gus other football crimes that some
of the officials did not see.
Monroe's first touchdown came af-
ter Guinness had downed man and
released him from his grasp. The ref
cree claimed he hadn't blown his
whistle so the Monroe player got up
again and ran for touchdown. Foil
owing this Edgerton Played under
protest. The other scores were of the
"fluke" type being partially respon-
sible because of poor tackling by
Edgerton.
To cap the climax, the tired Grim
son eleven found on searching their
dressing room that some of their
money, fountain pens, watch chains
and cuff buttons had disappeared.
The school building and locker rooms
were supposed to be under lock and
KEY but in some unknown manner
these articles were taken.
Coaches Abendroth and Lane ex-
pressed themselves as saying that in
all their years of football experience
thew had never come in contact with
such poor craftsmanship and unfair
dealing as Edgerton got at Monroe,
at the hands of those not directly a
part of the school.
