Why Coffee
Prices Have
Been Advanced

The following items, from Twin
City papers, explain the recent adj
vance in the price of coffee, matter
Of interest to most every family.
Twin city coffee importers, facing
the most serious situation in their
experience, due to serious shortage
in supply, took steps to protect their
$7,000,000 market. George w. Law
renee, coffee regulator in the Hoover
administration of the war period,
accompanied by ]. F. Atwood, presi-
dent of Atwood & Co., Minneapolis,
started for Brazil to make an investi-
cation.
Mr.. Lawrence is former president
of the New York Coffee exchange and
had charge of coffee regulation
throughout the war He now is
United States agent for Naumann
Gepp & Co., Ltd, one of the foremost
Brazilian exporters.
The investigation tour was inspired
by the chaotic condition in the coffee
market of the world.
They are to make trip into the
interior of Brazil to ascertain the ex-
tent of rain damage to the last crop
and the prospects for the growing
crop. Their specific mission is to ar
range to procure a continuous suppl
of good, sweet coffee for the north
west trade, handled from the Twin
Cities.
'The market since last July has
advanced 10 cents to II CENTS" Mr..
Atwood said before he left Mime
apolis, "and further advances are i'll
sight. The price of coffee would be
higher except for the fact that the
Brazilian government is limiting the
shipments to $4,000 bags a day, in
surfing continuous though barely
sufficient, flow from that country"
"More than five years are required
to develop a coffee tree" j. F. At
wood, president of Atwood & Co,
Minneapolis coffee firm, said. "a
tree produces only about pound and
a half to two pounds Of coffee, which
mast DC hand picked. Considering
that about $500 beans are required
to make pound of coffee, that it is
dried on expensive drying fields and
then cleaned by machinery, one can
realize that coffee is the cheapest
beverage known.
"The thrifty housewife finds econ
omy by buying the best coffee, be-
cause pound of good coffee meas
ures 60 tablespoons, making approx
mately go cups of good coffee. Even
at go cents pound, coffee costs only
1 cent cup. Poor coffee requires
the same amount of cream and sugar.
"The important thing in order to
have good coffee is to be sure to buy
strictly fresh roasted coffee, because
coffee is perishable and soon becomes
stale and deteriorates."

hundred rooters to back their re
spective teams in the exciting con-
tests.
In the opening game of the meet
Elmwood easily outclassed Roberts
by the score of 33 to II. The win
-ners started in with dash and piled
up Is to 2 lead in the first quarter.
Roberts showed their only opposition
when they Gagged three long range
shots in rapid succession in the
Second quarter. Roberts was at the
mercy of the strong Elmwood team il
the second half and were held to one
counter while Elmwood, playing their
cubs, counted Is points.
u. Bugholtz of Elmwood, all
tournament forward last year, was
the individual star of the game, Gag
ing 8 field baskets and making II of
the SO points scored by the team.
EXCITEMENT was at a high pitch in
The second fracas between Menomonic
and Spring Valley. Menomonie held
il II to 5 lead at the end of the third
quarter. Spring Valley was held
without field goal until the middle
of the last quarter but amassed q
count of 10 points on free throws.
The ousting of both guards on per-
sonal fouls crippled Menomonie, and
Spring Valley launched squirt that
put them in the lead, 10 to 18 in the
last minute of play.
Two successful free throws on 9
foul at the blow of the whistle turned
the tide in Menomonie's favor with
the final score 20 to 10.
In the first evening game New
Richmond vanquished Baldwin by
the score of "a to 4. The game was
fast affair and an exhibition OF
snappy team work, but the Baldwin
quint was unable to locate the basket
in their many close attempts.
sIa the. lasseoatest River E;alls took
the measure of Colfax in a 20 to 6
win. The Colfax squad is light and
speedy team and set fast pace in
floor work but were unable to get
drought the stone wall defense OF

River Falls and their excellent team
work rate them one of the strongest
teams in the tourney.
M. N. Basing of Appleton and
Foster Clafin of Cornell are offici-
ating the games.

A large and appreclative audlence
listened to the cantata Queen
Esther" presented in the Normal
auditorium Tuesday evening under
auspicies Of the Mac Dowell and the
Normal Glee Clubs and directed by
Professor Geere Of the schools musi-
cal departme at.
Following is the cast of characters:
Esther, --- Mrs. j. H. Ames

Hannah Rev. G. A. Bird

Zeresh --------Mrs. nj. A. Shepard

This cantata has been rendered
several times in this city, twenty
nine years ago under auspices of the
River Falls Choral Club, under direc-
ton Of Mr.. Frank Thayer, and other
times of which the writer is not
familiar. The interest manifested
in this cantata testifies to the worth
mess of the production.
The drama furnishes plays that
will bear repetition, art pictures that,
like a magnate of great drawing
power compels the admirer to return
again and again to look upon and dis
cover something new with each re-
turn, in music, song, and musical
composition that will never grow old
and that have sung their way into the
hearts of the people through the cen
turtles and lost none of their sweet
ness nor power, and will continue
through the centuries and to civila-
ton yet unborn, to be heard and low
ed as they are in our time and gener-
alton.
River Falls is indebted to the Mac
Dowell Club and the Normal School
Glee Clubs, and to Professor Geere,
for the opportunity to partake of this
musical banquet. And they are to be
felicitated on the success attained III
it's production, when one considers
the almost incredible amount OF
work necessary to train the many
performers, and they to learn, and so
perfectly, their individual parts.
The orchestra also is deserving OF
more praise than can be given them
here, as the object of this magnifi-
cient effort on the part of the Clubs
mentioned is not to glorify any par
ticular person or part, but to educate
the public to share with them the APP
probation of good music, for which
they are worthy representatives and
consistently practice.
The leading parts were rendered in
q manner that would do credit to
other than amateurs, in fact the
whole showed careful training am
reflects great credit or the trainer.
This entertainment shows what the
Clubs are capable of, and inspires
the wish for their perpetuity and
their augmentation in numbers and
interest in what they represent,
namely, GOOD MUSIC"
