JUST A BIT OF HISTORY.

During the early part of 1918, and
perhaps at one time previous to that,
City Clerk L. N. Clausen brought to
the attention of the City Council the
inadeGuacy of the system Of books
kept ia the Office of the City Clerk
and asked that the Council take up
with the Wisconsin Tax Commission
the question of having system of
books installed that would conform to
the system installed by the Tax Com
mission. No action was taken.
In 1919 the City Clerk again called
the attention of the Council to the
necessity of changing the system of
bookkeeping and no action was taken.
Again in May, 1920; the City Clerk
brought up the subject and no ac-
ton was taken, and then Mr.. Clausen
gathered together reports from other
cities where the system had been in
stalled and from all places where in
quiry was made letters stated that
the system was ideal. Elroy re-
ported the cost of installing the sys-
tenn as being $4,000, Sturgeon Bay
$1O8.00 and Berlin $250.00.
At the September meeting Of the
Council Mr.. ClaIsen stated the ne
cessity Of installing new system and
the Council instructed the City Clerk
to inquire Of the Tax Commission tne
approximate cost.
At the October meeting of the City
Council the letter of the Tax Com
mission was read in which it was
stated that the approximate cost OF
installing the system by the Tax
Commission would be $265.00. The
council acted, the following motion
appearing on the records, Page 541.
1.-THE City Clerk read letter froFe
the Tax Commission in regard to the
installation of an accounting system
for the City Clerks Office. In this
matter it was moved and seconded
that the Mayor have the power to in
stall such a system of auditing ac-
counts in said Office"
The firm of Raglan & Pearce of
Minneapolis was engaged for this
work, and not only have they in
stalled system of books but they
have also completed an audit of the
books of the City Clerk, the School
Board an dthe Washhurn Water
Works company, although the orr
ginal motion called for the installa-
ton of the system Of books only.
And this is what it cost the tax
payers Of the city of Washburn.

HIGH SCHOOL
WIN BIC GAME
DEFEATED ASHLAND AND
BAYFIELD, AT LOCAL Y
Put the KibOsch ON Two Teams
COntending for the Superior
Tournament in Two of the
Fastest Games Played Here.
Bayfield, Game.

The Washburn High School basket
bali team hung up two scalps on
Friday and Saturday evenings Of last
week when they defeated the teams
from the Bayfield, and Ashland High
schools. In the Bayfield, game the
locals hung up the bacon by the in
disputable score of rs to 16:
This game had been looked forward
to for some two years and It was
naturally not surprising when Bay
field had to take the count on last
Friday nights game.
From the start the game was fur
ious, the first half started by giving
Bayfield, a surprise, she had antici-
pated that Washburn would put the
old team on the floor consisting of
Wedin, Blexrude, Warden, Morris
and Beck. However Washburn found
fit to pass the buck and put in her
fast coming team of Hawkes., War
den, Manning, Morris and Beck, who
started in and made Bayfield, take a
hard count for nearly the entire game
when Warden found four personals
floating around and had TO give over
to Doucette. The Bob fought one
of the best games of his life but soon
discovered that Bells eagle eye was
shining in his direction and called
him out on four personals. This
necessitated shifting with Wedin at
Center, Manning and Doucette for
wards and Beck and Hawkes. guards.
Doucette tried to make his foot work
on the side of his leg and had to
crawl out to make way for Captain
Blexrude to hold down the forward
position.
The game by halves. During the
first half Hawkes. played good game
and although he, got no baskets in the
first half he was able to ring up two
in the second Warden in the first
half played fast and furious bringing
in two nice p oints for Washburn and
was just beginning to get up and go
good when Bell put the forth blue
mark on his shoulder. Doucette al
though only in for two or three
minutes found the circle once to the
tune of two points Manning, center
played an excellent center position
during the first half and likewise a
forward position the second half. Dur
ing which he let of 'em drop
through the hoop. Wedin went in
for a real game and sure played well.
Morris played his usual heavy
game and if Bell hadn't had such
sharp eyes he would have played a
good deal better. Hewever Morris
says that one of those personals
should have been a technical, but
then what's the use? Hawkes. while
not causing any marks to be made
on the books played good consistent
game in his guard position. Beck
pulls down the honor for the fast
guarding and free throwing, making
5 points in this manner. The line
up for Bayfield, is as follows:
Sexton, L. G., Benson r. g., Vim
cent Center, Basset, L. F., Lndwigson,
r F., Subs. Benson and Gania.
Bayfield, played good game and
took their defeat well, saying that
they were fairly defeated and as is
the habit of all teams that play here
praised our referee Bell for his abb

TO MAKE REPORT.

A meeting of the Mayors Local
Board of Censor was held on Wednes-
day morning of this week after a
review Of the picture passion" which
was shown at the Y. M. C. A. on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week,
four of the churches of the city
being represented on the Board, be-
ing the Norwegian Lutheran, Metho-
dist, Congregational and Catholic.
According to reports there seemed
to be a wide difference of opinion
about the picture, some believing
that it was truly representative of
the time proceeding the French re-
volution, while others thought other
wise.
1t is understood that it was de-
cided at the meeting that if any cen
soring was to be done in the city
of Washburn that it should include
all theatres of the city, and we under
stand that the Local Board will so re-
port in their report to the Mayor.
We understand that all pictures
shown in the city are approved by
the National Board Of Censorship.

This is the second defeat of the
season for the Scouts, and they are
laying the blame for it on nobody
but themselves. In justice to them,
however, there are two or three
things which ought to be stated. In
the first place, the Duluth team gave
their weight as 145 lbs. average,
which is 80, lbs to the good over the
Scouts. They have played a num-
Der of teams Of their class in the
vicinity of Duluth without being de-
feated yet, and they admitted that
they never went through such a
hard game. In the second place, the
referee was useless; he is a sub on
the high school second team, and was
apparently afraid to give any decj
sions against the Duluth boys. He
couldn't find any personal fouls on
the Scouts at all, but seized every
possible chance to call them for
technical fouls; on the other hand,
he didn't call thing on Duluth and
they advanced the ball in any way
that suited them. We do not be-
lieve that either the Duluth Y or
their team intended to give the
Scouts a poor deal. 1t was just an
unfortunate circumstance Of the
game. The lineup:
Duluth Y Seniors-16 14-Scouts
Shay, Capt. R. F. Alton
Ingwaldson L. F. Capt. Haglund
Remington C. Morgan
King r G.. Cease

King for Ingwaldson, Shay for King,
Ingwaldson for Chabot.
Goals from floor: Peterson 5, King
2, Ingwaldson 1, King l, Chabot l,
Haglund s, Alton l, Cease1.
The Scouts went into the Superior
game on the next night, determined
to show that they were not in the
habit of losing games. The teams
weremuch more evenly matched in
weight, the Monarchs having only
15-lb. edge over the Scouts average.
The referee was the best that the
Scouts have run into on any of their
out-of-town trips, and didn't let q
thing get by him that he COULD pos
sibly see; both teams feNAd out
quickly that they had to play the
game and droR the rough stuff, as
he played no favorites,
The Scouts went into the lead at
the start of the game, and were never
headed. The Superior team, which
before the game had thought that
the Scouts were no great cause for
alarm, soon sized up the sfelaiton cor
rectly, ard played desperately m the
attempt to stave of dsfeats but the
Washburn boys were also in dead
earnest, and relied up score of z
to 2 by the end of the. first half. In
the second half they got little too
eager, and were called for It to the
extent of three personals and two
technicals; Kelly, of the Monarchs,
made all but one Of these count for
Superior, and the score began to
show q tendency to even up. Then
Washhurn steadied, and the game
ended 10 to 8 in favor Of the Scouts,

Charles Wolff, local bowler who has
been holding first place in the bowl
ing tournament of the National
Bowling Association, in the single
event, with a score Of Gil for three
games, was nosed out during the
past week by the bowlers from st.
Paul and he was in the sixth posi-
ton when the contest closed.
Wolff bowled an excellent game
when he made the Gil score and
Washburn boys who were present say
that ii things had been breaking any
where near even for the local bowlers
he would easily have won first place
in the single event.

have no doubt that this is about the
only time he might have been called
on personals. Beck seems to hold
his usual record at free throws ring
ing two points that way and once on
nice follow up. The score at the
end of the game was 18 to IA with
Washburn on the big end.
Ashland has some A No. / guards
and basket men and they played a
good game and while we must con-
fess their basket shooting is better
than ours but in justification of our
own boys we wish to call attention
to the minds of our gentle readers
that the Ashland boys can practice as
long and often as they wish to, while
our boys are limited to not more
than three hours week practice and
usually they lose out to less then
that.
In view of these two games and
the ones played this season and by
score comparison the High school
team is indisputably the best Basket
Ball team of the Chequamegon Bay
district and we no doubt could get
away with any team on our floors or
a neutral floor. We will gladly chal-
lenge any team if they so wish. Next
year we are going to, have another
of the best high school teams of the
northwest so let's get back of them
and BOOST.

Give the Children
Plenty of Sweet Milk
Agricultural College Nevertheless

Agricultural College News Notes.
Many farmer who understands
the Importance Of bone building in
the young farm animals forgts en-
tirely that his children are subject TO
the same requirements. Every farmer
knows that his calves are inferior IL
they do not receive sufficient milk.
The same applies to children.
The extreme importance Of milk
in the diet of children lies in the
fact that milk is one Of the richesk
calcium-giving foods and calcium is an
essential BODYBUILDING mineral nu-
TRENT. The calcium recruitment Of
the child exceeds that Of the adult.
Meat is vry low in calcium, fruits and
vegetables contain small amounts and
few green vegetables quite large
amount.
But the main source Of calcium is
milk. There is more calcium in q
quart Of milk than there is in quart
Of lime water, A quart Of milk each
day for growing child is desirable
allowance.
No amount Of time or expense il
spared in training the minds Of Amer
lean boys and girls SO that they will
be prepared to meet the requirements
of their life work. Then why not aid
this work by sending well-nouriahed,
well-fed normal children to th school
room? l.
But to do this just any kind Of
food that fills up and seems to "stick
to their lbs" will not suffice. Oftn
the food does not contain the essential
growth or health-promoting elements.
Milk is the one food which, in this
respect. is a daily requirement for
every child's diet.

All Due to the Women.

IN a lecture before the Royal in
gE1eute. Prof. Arthur Keith, an emf
1Ant biologist, gave the credit for
American success To the women who
came over with the Pilgrim fathers.
The fact that these Englishmen
brought their wives with them is re-
SpOnsible for the remarkably sturdy
condition OF the American people
whereas the Spaniards who went into
Central and South America left their
wives behind. and the result is a
hybrid race which is not the equal of
the original Iberian
