The Wisconsin Minnesota Game With
ROllie Star Performer.

On Saturday of last week at Madison
the Wisconsin football team defeated
the eleven representing Minnesota by
a score of IS to O. At quarter back
was our own Rollie Williams playing
the position because of the injury to
Gibbons. He also played safety man
on defense.
Spectacular expresses we'll the type
of game Saturday. In that spectacular
work there was one prominent figure,
namely the quarterback. He skirted
the ends of that Minnesota team for
gains of from Is to 80 yards. Once
from safe position he returned on a
punt and was downed after he had
gained IS yards and carried the ball to
within few yards of the Minnesota
goal lines. In each return of punts he
succeeded in regaining considerable
territory. The play which brought all
Wisconsin fellows to their feet was
when Rollie caught punt and started
through the Minnesota team, throwing
off tackle after tackle and then outran
the safety man of the visitors, and did
not stop until he had checked up six
more points to the credit of the Badgers.
But few runs like that have been seen
on Camp Randall, and none have ever
been made where real football strategy
resulted as did this one. He showed
his spirit and bigness by sending all his
team mates up the line for the score.
The citizens of Edgerton can be proud
of such a clean sportsman as Rollie.
He deserves all the commentator that
it is possible to give.

Scott Hatch and Miss Florence Child
Sued for $4,000.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette of last Friday
says: Alleging that the driving of
Scott Hatch Jr., Edgerton youth, con
stituted menace to the public" suit
was brought by Rose Hansen, widow
of Roland o. Hansen, against Scott
Hatch and Florence Child, Edgerton,
in the Rock county circuit court for
$4,000 damages. The complaint was
filed Friday morning and the case is
being scheduled on the November cal
endar of the court.
Florence Child, wealthy Edgerton
woman and noted philanthropist, is
made co-defendant in the action, it
being claimed she purchased the auto
mobile for the Hatch family.
Negligence and reckless driving of
the machine is claimed as the cause of
action for damages for the death of
Roland 0. Hansen, killed in a traffic
accident near Edgerton on February 2,
1921.
Hansen on that date was walking
along the road south of Edgerton-
where there was no sidewalk and was
struck and instantly killed by the auto
mobile alleged to have been driven by
the youthful Hatch, son of the defend
ant. The defendant Hatch is cousin
of Florence Child
A question of law is involved on how
Florence Child can be held liable under
existing laws, even on the contention
she had purchased the machine for the
cousin. The license was not in her
name. 0. F. Oestreich is guardian Of
Scott Hatch Jr., who is minor.

Law Enforcement Meeting.

Law enforcement Meeting.
About three hundred representative
men and women of Edgerton went to
Cuiton Memorial hall to a MONDAY
luncheon Tuesday, Nov. l, to meet Jno.
F. Kramer, former federal prohibition
commissioner. The City Federation of
Clubs did itself proud in the dainty
luncheon which it served and having
partaken. of this splendid repast their
guests were in receptive mood when
Professor Holt, the chairman of the
invitation committee, arose and nicely
introduced the speaker of the day.
Mr.. Kramer, in serious and pleas
ing manner, handled the subject so IA
miliar to him after having nation
wide experience. He said the matter
of prohibition was forever settled, that
thirty-three states had Independently
voted for prohibition before the thirty
six strtes had ratified the 18th amend
ment to the constitution; that it was
lnconceivable that these thirty-six
states or any combination of thirty-six
states would during our time ever vote
to wipe the 18th amendment from the
constitution of the United States.
The matter of prohibition, having be-
come an amendment to the federal
constitution and a part of the funda-
mental law of the land, those who had
labored hard for its enactment had
gone to sleep. The question now is,
shall we be law abiding citizens or not?
1t was one of law or lawlessness. He
made strong plea for the leading citi-
zens of the state to set the example of
law, order and loyalty; that the forces
were not endeavoring to bring this
about by prosecution of cases in the
courts, the great question now was not
to apprehend the 'bootleggers" and
"moonshiners. 1t is to secure the OBJ
servance of the law by the so-called
leading citizens who by one way or an
other secure the bonded or illicit
liquors.
Referring to the recent ruling as to
beer for medicine, Mr.. Kramer labeled
it as coke" Beer has in his opin-
ion no place in medicine. Possibly one
reputable physician in a thousand
would prescribe it for some isolated
trouble with woman. Two breweries
in the United States could easily fulfill
all the requirements for this purpose.
1t isn't the doctor who wanted to pre-
scribe beer at two or three dollars a
Shot" It is the brewers and two
thousand of them applied for permits
at once. AS man would have to be
sick to get prescription we are in
danger of having our streets full of
such men whose desperate illness could
only be temporarily relieved by a pre-
scription of beer.
After Mr. Kramer's address, which
was nicely received, Mr.. N. C. Shirley,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League for the Madison district, rec
ON ded the organization of COM
mittees to influence public sentiment.
He believed such procedure in Ed
gerton would have a. good effect and
that all that was necessary to remedy
conditions was to have those who favor
law enforcement to let their influence
be felt and the 18th amendment would
be as carefully observed as is any 9TH
er law on the statute books.

Preparation of Parcels for the Mails.

preparation OF FdfcolS Tor the Mails.
A Nation wide Perfect Package
Movement will be conducted by the
American Railway Association and
the American Railway Express dur
ing the month of November. The
Post Office Department has also in
augurated similar movement that
has for its purpose the educating of
the public in the proper preparation
of parcels for the mail.
Parcels in transit are subject to
a considerable friction and when a
loss or breakage occurs the reason
for it is unually due to faulty pack
ing and a lack of sufficient cushions.
The postal parcel post system is
finding larger favor with the users
of it from year to year, as evidenced
by the increase in the number of par
cells that are mailed.
Postmaster Hoen states an inten-
sive campaign will at once be in
augurated in which clerks, city and
rural carriers will participate, to
the end that all patrons of the local
Post Office may through it, become
familiar with the proper method of
packing, wrapping, and addressing
a parcel intended to be dispatched
through the parcel post system.

NATIONAL FISH DAY.

There is no way of course of telling how many paid any attention to the national fish day, which was proclaimed for We'd nesday and its observance urged upon the people of the entire country. Some accidentally observed 1t. Others had fish because they wanted it, while there were those who were encouraged to take ad- vantage of special offers in the way of fish for that occasion. The fish has it's day but whether it will be possible to awaken much interest in the one day eb- servance throughout the country is a question.
 If lhe observance was prompted by the fact that there is large amount of fish on the market over and above the normal requirements there ought to be no difficult ty in moving that surplus provided there is a desire to move it and not detern1i- na,lon to take a loss rather than. to offer inducements. When it is reported that something more than three quarters of a million pounds of fish were condemned in unfit for huEan consumption it can be appreciated that efforts to move such fish were too long delayed, that there was nc desire to give the trade the benefit of that waste ard 1t is reasonable to suppose that the maintenance of price was to q largs degree responsible for the spelling of such fisl, quite as much as the price of ,ther commodities at various times has >een bolstered up by the deliberate ae-

FIGHTING THE MOTHS.

In the state of Rhode Island two bills Ire before the legislature seeking appro- rriations of $36,o00 for the suppression of the gypsy and browntail moths. More than half of the appropriation would be Tor the purpose of concentrated efforts in ene town. If the facts warrant such an expenditure 1t would appear that the con ditions in that single town are not only serious but decided menace to the rest of the state and neighboring common wealths,
 It is unfortunately the case too often that sections which are threatened or act ually overrun with such pests fail to take the necessary steps to protect themselves through individual effort before conditions get to such a stage that outside help has to be called for This is, however, ire luently noted and Rhode Island is not the snly state where it can be found
 The fact of the matter is that too much attention cannot be given to the destruc- ton of such moths which, if they are not fought, will raise havoc among trees and shrubs. Perhaps it may seem that s2o,t 200 for one town for such purpose is a large sum, but the indiEations are that il Is large Job that must be tackled if pro lection is going to be given to others, and 1t would be far cheaper and easier to fight the pest in that one town than to wait until it had become well distributed over the state.
 Appropriations of this kind come hart when economy is the watchword of stat legislatures. At other times less migh be thought of such proposition, but in asmueh as neglect has made present con ditions possible the continuance of it car be expected to make them far worse Eradication now, or the checking of tn spread, would therefore be good strok in behalf of economy in the long run But whether Rhode Island appropriate what is sought or not there will be large burden resting upon the shoulder of every farm and land owner to pu forth his best efforts to strike at the pes wherever it is seen. A general effor along such lines would show excellent re Sults

EXPECTING REIMBURSEMENT.

How the railroads of the country in tend to make their next move in behalf of the inevitable readjustment is -indi- cated by the notification which has been given to certain of the employees that re-! ductions in the wage schedules must be- made and fixing dates for conferences. This move has been made after many thousands have been idle and after ef- forts have been made to get sufficient op-, erating income t4 keep the roads going and secure the return to which the roads are entitled under the transportation act
 Putting up the rates has resulted in a falling oE of business. The large mum Der of idle cars and the entire slump can not be attributed to the higher freight rates, because transportation business has been affected by the general industrial situation, but higher rates have certainly not served to encourage business, and the idea of attempting to increase them fur ther seems out of the question. Such a move would simply mean driving away what business remains and therefore in creasing the idleness among the employees of railroads. Under such conditions 1t would make no difference how high the rate of pay was those who had no work would be worse off than they would be to participate in the readjustment by ac- depting a reduction in the present wage scales and keeping the wheels turning.
 Thus when the railroads inform the men that there must be reductions ii comes after other methods for meeting conditions have failed, and the method ot presenting the matter Is in accord with the national agreements which the na- tional labor board refused to dissolve. The purpose is to have the roads and the mer look at cold facts and figures and agret among themselves upon the way to meet . them. If 1t is impossible to reach ar agreement appeal can be made to the na honal board when that body will heal and determine what should be done or the evidence presented. The roads fnt themselves driven to action and they ar. seeking to effect cut in expenditure through wage reductions the same a most every line Of industry has, and doini t in accord with agreement.

I7-7I- lV IMPOSING THE PENALTIEg.

What the allied nations haye done asI the result of the failure of the London conference and the movement of troops further into Germany for the control of three cities in an important industrial section is to apply penalties for the fasl- ure of Germany to Raeet tbe aemands of the allies for reparations. It cIearly sets forth. contrary to what Germapy has been inclined te believe. that the allies are thoroughly agreed ip Aeir demenAs apA flso in the steps thet Etli ke nscessary 10 recover their losses from Germany.
 Unwilling throughout has Germany been to recognize that it cenld be held responsible. It has protested against the allies demands, fro8ned 9Ror the iAee that it could be made te pay and 1e- fantly maintained by certain of the lead CTS that the terms you'd never be met.

provinces.
 "The United States. although its
 capital is in more rigorous climate than those of many republics, is alone in having an al fresco' inauguration.
 The first four Presidents were in augurated indoors, and beginning with the third President, Jefferson. the in- augurations took place in Washing ton. Monroe, the first President to be sworn inout of doors, chose the east portico of the Capital because of a dispute as to whether he should be l inaugurated in the House of Repre- sentatives or the Senate chamber, After a return to the indoor in- auguration by Jackson, the outdoor ceremonies were resumed. Because I they seemed Vto fit in so well with Arnrican ideas of democracy, premit- | ting the general public to see the pro- cedure, they have been retained.
 1 President Taft broke the precedent to the extent of demonstrating that 1 when the weather is particularly in l element it is wiser to have the cere- 1 monies performed indoors; but the majority of presidents in the future, as in the past may be expected to take the oath out of doors, where not the favored few, but the multitudes
