her singing to herself an old anthem

heard was stilled and the singer had

SCHOOL NEWS.

The basketball quinC went down to
defeat before the consistent playing
of the Union High at Milton last Sat,
urday evening" The Edgerton team
was somewhat crippled by the inability
of some of it's regular men to appear in
uniform. The game was fast and at
times closely fought. MADISON made
field goal almost at the start of the
game, and through the first half the
Union five was outclassed by the Wis
itors. However. they were fortunate
in discovering the basket, and at the
end of the half stood to in favor of
u. H. In the second half Edgerton
eased up for brief time, and Union
made use of the. opportunity and Gagged
three goals At this point Ed Smith
was sent in to strengthen Edgerton's
lineup. While he could get through the
Milton guards, he did not succeed in
bagging more than two goals, due to
his unfamiliarity with the baskets.
Other players for Edgerton found the
baskets, but could not overcome the
lead of the MiItonites. The game ended
Is II in favor of Union High While
Edgerton feel that luck was against
them rather than superior skill, they
compliment Milton on the excellence of
their team. Edgerton players had diff
ficulty is gauging their shooting under
the low beams of the Union gym, and
feel confident that the honors will be
reversed February 9TH when the u H.
team plays its return game on the Ed
gerton floor.
The second semester of school opened
Monday. A new plan of recitation per-
iods will be tried out during the balance
of the year. Glasses begin at $50 in
the morning and run in so minute per-
iods to 800 in the afternoon. The first
half of the period is devoted to study
under the supervision of the teacher,
the second half TO quizzes upon the
subject assigned Concentration and
economy of time and greater accuracy
of work are hoped for as a result of
this experiment, which has been sue
cessfully tried in schools of other towns.
The reseating of the students in the
assembly room was attended to Tues
day morning.
The next basketball game scheduled
is to be played this Friday evening at

Farmers Conference

THE big farmers conference at
Washington has written its dellbera-
tons into history. 1t has placed its ap-
prevail on the eight hour day, the farm
bloc in the senate, on cooperation IN
marketing Of farm prodube, on the
financing of agriculture on the basis of
crop credits, and number of other
measures, all important, and all vital
to the welfare of agriculture, and it
must be hoped that it will result In
lasting economic benefit to the people
of this land who produce the very es-
sentials of existence. But all who have
read the reports of the proceedings
and votes of the conference as they
have been published in the press, must
have felt that certain vagueness char
acterized it all. Are the reforms dis
cussed and assented to by vote OF the
conference of nature to cure the Ills
besetting agriculture, or are they only
for temporary relief? The experience
of the farmer since the crash in prices
on his products hit him ought to have
taught him that an economic order IN
which the most essential foundation is
the first one to give way when adver-
sitv comes, needs to be investigated
from the bottom to find out what Is the
matter with it. That this is felt also
by men who attended the conference
and who stand close to agriculture as
an essential element in the economic
ife of the nation, is evident from such
utterances as those in a statement by
Dean OF the u. w. college of agricul
ture' when be says: America will not
advance any faster than it's agricul-
ture progresses. We cannot perman-
ently build our cities and manufactur-
ing and commercial industries at the
expense of farming AS long as the
prices which the farmer receives for
what he has to sell are so out of pro-
portion with the prices he pays for
what he has to buy, there caunot be
return to normal times. The decline In
the farmers purchasing power is one
of two fundamental conditions which
stand in the way of any rapid recovery
in business. The disproportionately
high prices which the rest of the con-
Stunning public have to pay for every
thing they buy is the other. In the
face of the severest foreign competi-
ton which America has ever been called
upon to meet, her one future hope lies
in the more complete development OF
her domestic markets. This she can
not do until the equilibrium is restored
between the prices of raw material and
finished goods" It may be that the
very lack of permanent results of the
Washington conference will serve to
stimulate investigation into the order
of our economic society that may lead
to the finding of q remedy which goes
to the root of the evil A true> dag
nosis is always the important feature
in effecting cure.
