Facing Buildings With Pottery.

In a recent lecture before an Eng
lish gathering Prof. BeresfoTd Pite
discussed the possibilities Of ceramic
products in the clothing Of reinforced
concrete skeleton buildings. Unlike
many architects who regard tradition
al practice as something quite sacred,
Professor Pite would throw the con-
ventions Of the past TO the winds m
order TO meet modern developments.
While admitting the structural advan-
tages Of reinforced concrete, he is not
an a6mirer of concrete as material
for exterior surfaces, and advocates
the clothing Of the structural skeleton
with % garment Of permanent, eifec-
tive, beautiful, ceramic color u2.m-
tied in its variety and worth.

PROVIDES FARMS FOR POOR
Se!f-HeIp Project Fathered hy Nebras-
ka phIanthropist Seems haove
in Right Direction.

H D. Watson. millionaire farmer
and philanthropist Of Kearney, Neb,
who is perhaps doing more than any
other one man in the United States
to make the "back-to-the-land' move
ment reality, is in Alamosa investi-
eating the advantages of the San Luis
valley as a place to locate one Of his
community farm projects, 0. E. Meyer
writes in the Rocky Mountain News.
Mr.. Watson already has acquired q
tract Of 500 acres at Carbondale. Colo,
and is now making arrangements for
starting one of his farm communities
there. However. the Carbonate dis
trict is limited in extent and land is
higher priced, and he found it mex
pedient to acquire rs large q tract
as he wanted. He will settle family
on each 20 acres Of the Carbondale
tract. and the only condition which
Mr.. Watson places upon an applicant
for one of his community tracts is
that the applicant be absolutely with
out money or other property.
The tenant is located On the tract
with all necessary tools, stock ard
seed furnished. In addition he is
furnished with a sum of money during
the first year. After that the land is
expected to produce enough to make
q living for the family and provide a
sinking fund for paying for the land.
In six or eight years the farmer, if
no is thp rioh{ sort. owns his land.

Mourning Chevrons on "8eer" Suits.
When the Princeton seniors ap-
peared in their beer" suits last year,
with a black mourning brassard on
the left sleeve, the idea was considered
very nifty. But they've beaten it this
spring. The beer suits were broken out
out early this week, and they have
three small black chevrons on the left
cuff, each indicating six months OF
prohibition. The beer suit custom is
indigenous to Princeton. Before the
days Of Volsteadism the suits-plan

peared, simultaneously With the book

Chief Springer.

In the Wisconsin Police Journal Con-
vention number, Chief B. j. Springer
of Edgerton is mentioned as, perhaps,
the oldest member in point of member
ship of the Police Union, having joined
in September, 1894, when the union
was first organized. In an article deal
ing with the police departments of Wis
consin cities the Edgerton police de-
partment and Chief Springer come in
for the following comment:
"Under the leadership of Chief of
Police B. J. Springer, the department
of police in Edgerton is most efficient
department in the city government.
Chief Springer is native of Edgerton
and has wide acquaintance over his
section of the state. He is man of
splendid judgment, handles the people
with ease, and enjoys the confidence as
one who desires law and order without
exhibition of arbitrary authority.
Chief Springer was one of the men
who helped write the constitution and
bylaws of the original organization"
Police Union).
This recognition of our popular chief
is pleasing to Mr.. Springer's many
friends.

Edgerton %. Walworth 6.

The Edgerton high school won their
third straight game Saturday when
they defeated the heavy Walworth
eleven by a 22-6 score. The locals
scored early in the first period by a
pass, Whitford to Spike. The second
and their periods showed rather listless
football and convinced the Crimson
team that better defense was neces-
sary.
Guinness added points by scoring a
field goal from the 80 yard line by
placement. Two more touchdowns
brought the score up to % before the
final whistle blew, these being the "e-
suit of a pretty offensive by Spike,
Whitford and Guinness. Cohn, Wal
worth full, intercepted one of Whit
ford's long passes and ran S. yards for
Walworth's only score.
Edgerton travels to Stoughton Fri
day and royal battle should result as
both have undefeated records. The
next home game is Nov. with Slough
ton here, while Fort Atkinson will dis
play on the local gridiron Nov. Is.

Rock county will next week be
asked to answer the membership roll
call conducted annually by the Rock
county chapter of the American Red
Cross, the organization which in time
of distress in the nation and throughout
the world is first on the job.
A more intensive campaign for mem
berships has never been staged than will
be put on next week beginning Oct %,
under the direction. of Chairman Fred
J. Holt of Edgerton. Assisting him
will be corps of 43 assistant chairmen
covering every city, town, village, COM
munity and school district in all the
townships comprising the Rock county
chapter which includes all but the
lowest tier of townships which are a
part of the Beloit chapter. The assis-
tant chairmen will in turn select cap
aims to assist them.
In Edgerton, Evansville, GAINESVILLE,
Milton, and Milton Junction house to
house canvass will be staged. Frank
Ash is the chairman for Edgerton and
is taking care of the organization for
this city. He desires the assistance
of all those who will help.
The Edgerton branch is an active or
ganization. 1t has helped many sol
diers with their claims for compensa-
ton and vocational training. It has
given loans to disabled soldiers in hos
pitfalls. 1t has helped mothers obtain
pensions. The Red Cross sponsored
the course in home nursing taught by
Miss Smart in the Edgerton schools.
Needy soldiers were given material
help through the past year. Give your
dollar and pledge your support to the
Red Cross the coming year.

Telephone Rates Increased.

An increase Of rates was granted the
Commonwealth Telephone company,
operating in this city, by the Wisconsin
railroad commission Monday. The new
rate schedule calls for the following
monthly charges:
Business phones, one party, So. Is.
(. Business phones, two party, 1925.
Residence phone, one party, $2.75.
Residence phone, two party, 1925.
Residence phone, four party, $1.75.
Rural phone, $225
The company lost no time in putting
the new rates into effect. the current
month carrying the increase. Now if
the Commonwealth company will be as
diligent in improving the telephone
service as they were in putting the
new rates into effect, we can accept the
additional cost with better grace.
