RED & WHITE LOSE
AT EAU CLAIRE

Eau Claire Normal, for the first
time in many seasons, took both
basketball games from the Red &
White this year.
River Falls led at the close of the
first half at Eau Claire last Friday
night, 81, but Eggebrecht's crew
suffered a slump in the second period
and didn't score field shot, adding
but three points on free throws
while Eau Claire ran its total up to
%.
Olson, who seems to be able to
star only against River Falls, was
again the high scorer of the fracas.
AT Menomonie Friday night Stout
lost to Superior 1915, but the
Trainers have protested the game on
the ground that the winning basket
was shot when time was called by the
scorer to allow substitution.

is the author of 1.-THE Good Bad Wo-
man." the play which is scandaliz-
ing Broadway, New York, and, Incl

by the producers which is causing
all the hubub and unsavory publicity,
and Mr.. McNally is highly indignant.

SOME MAILING TIPS
FROM THE POST OFFICE

Last weeks article called attention
tc the delay caused by insufficient
postage, and urged more care in
gauging the weight of your letters.
The admonition bore fruit, but a
number of instances indicated that a
misunderstanding still exists.
Remember this--if 2-cent stamp
is not sufficient on a first-class let
ter, neither is Scent stamp. The
rate is two cents per ounce or frac-
ton thereof. A IL ounce letter re-
Quires A cents postage, and "a
ounces requires 6 cents, and so on,
just as though they weighed up to
the full extra ounce.
Another point on postage that
che may fail to observe is the rule
that no handwritten or typewriter
first-class mail can be sent here at
the one-cent rate.
Before this city had carrier SER
oct a 1-cent rate was permissible
on local mail, and many still appear
to expect that rate. Rural patrons
are especially requested to note this
fact, as the 1-cent rate is most often
tried by farmers writing in to some
one in town.
This is another case of short post
age, and the letter is delayed, either
by being returned to the sender, or
by being held out until the addressee
calls to pay the extra postage due.
Insure prompt delivery by using
sufficient postage.

School Building Needs
Presented To Legislature

The River Falls Normal building
needs were presented to the Joint
Finance Committee of the Legisla-
ture at a hearing last Thursday.
Senator Hunt appeared before the
committee and presented the particu-
lar needs of the Agriculture Depart
ment, pointing out the very made
duate quarters now occupied in the
basement OF North Hall for this i'm
portant department. He emphasize
ed the service this department has
performed in supplying to the state
500 of the special teachers of agri-
culture in the schools of Wisconsin.
Senator Hunt stated his position
very definitely in regard to the build
ing requested before the committee.
He stated that while he recognized
the need of an addition at Oshkosh
to replace the barracks now in use at
that institution, he was of the opin-
ion that it was not necessary nor de-
sirable to use such funds as are
available to construct complete new
building at that institution, but that
an addition would satisfactorily meet
the schools present requirements.
This would permit, he said, sufficient
funds to build the requested addition
at the River Falls Normal School
thus taking care of the present needs
Of both these institutions. 1t is felt
that the position taken by Senator
Hunt will have great weight with
the Finance Committee.
President Ames followed. Senator
Hunt with a statement designed to
show the situation in regard &c the
Training School Department and the
need Of a greater number CT rooms
to provide space for practice teach
ing purposes. A complete blief of
the building situation at River Falls,
together with blue prints, was pre-
sented by Regent Ramer. This brief
presented all facts relating to the
growth and development of the River
Falls Normal School and the uses to
which the present school plant are
being placed. Blue prints We're IN
