out plans for the coming >rasol.. Says
the Jewell Record:
| 1t was agreed by to- directors that

games will be in addition to the reg,l-
lar schedule of the league which pro-
vides for one game Il week, half at
home and half abroad The league
games are to be played at Ellsworth,
which will give Il league game on the
Ellsworth diamond every other week
and Il non-league game on the Jewell
diamond every other week. The ar
ranSement is one that should prove
satisfactory to baseball fans mt both
towns and will provide two ball games
each week for the team. With two
good twirlerS on the roster. Ira ESpe
and Ollie Peterson. and ample strength
in all other departments of the game.
the team can easily handle sucn Il
schedule. 1t was agreed that no play
ers will be used except Ellsworth and
Jewell men, the only players to receive
pay in each game played being the
pitcher and catcher. both of them local
men.
The jewell members of the hoard of
directors agreed to raise in Jewell an
amount equal to that being raised in
Ellsworth for financing the ball club.
The amount that will be raised in thc
two towns will probably be four or five
hundred dollars.

WILLIAMS WILL Nh

Big Meeting of Business men
Held and a Building

Formed.

Company to Establish
Plant There.
TAKE SHARES STOCK

! Williams is going to have cream
cry. Her citizens are enthusiastic over
the proposition. The Williams Enter
prise has the following:
a rousing meeting was held at the
city nall Tuesday evening when fifty
citizens gathered to talk over the
creamery proposition. The fact that
SO many people were present at the
| meeting, shows what an interest is
being taken in this matter.
w. j. FOran was elected temporary
chairman, and opened the meeting with
an interesting talk on the benefits de-
rived from Il creamery, and pointed
out why and how it would benefit each
Roy was elected temporary secretary,
and before the meeting was adjourned
both Mr.. Roy and Mr.. Foran were elect
ed to fill their offices permanently.
Several Plans.
j. II. Brandes and VIM. Widdell of
the Cedar Valley Creamery Co. were
in town last week and went over the
town and territory surrounding, thor
ougflly, and decided to locate here pro-
us. The bonus in this case is Il years
rental on suitable building and free
wafer for the first twelve months per-
iOd. This is probably the best prOpO-
sitiOn the town will ever get and the
meeting Tuesday night was to discuss
several means 10 furnish the building.
Mr.. Blodgett, who submitted the propo-
sitions, stated that the company wanted
Il building 25X6O feet and twelve feet
high, and as there is nothing suitable
in town. one must be built. The first
proposition was for the citizens 10 sub
scribe approximately StSo fer the first
years rental and give it to Il private
individual who would erect Il suitable
structure. The second was TO sell ~
to 80 shares at 500 apiece and form II
dSSpNl.ttlpil stut tIt'l tIlt
ing. The latter proposition met with
the most approval, and Julius Roy. Il.
Il. Elodgett, and J.. w. Ball were APP
pointed by the chairman to get the de-
sired number of signatures. Twelve
OF the men present signed before leav-
ing the hall and number of others
stated they would sign later on. We
nave little doubt but that the rema ind
er of the names will be added in few
days. The erection of this building is
not Il matter Of personal gain. but is
for the good of the t0w:l :i:-G commune
ity at large. This town needs something
to stimula te the market for cream. and
as the creamery seems 20 -. the only
solution, the citizens are willing to
erect the building and give the cream
cry company the use of it for one year
without rent.
Another meeting will he held at an
early date when it is hoped to have
representa- tive of the creamery com
pany present. and at which time some
definite action will be taken. In the
meantime everybody boost for a cream
cry and boost strong as it is the one
thing that will start the town on an
upward trend. Williams has been at
a standstill for the past fifteen years.
and if the town is to grow and be the
progressive little city we would like
to have it. everyone must get behind
such propositions and push
