Sheriff Baker WreStIes
With MoOnShine Maker In
Lively Raid At Bay City

"The first real kick I've got out of
an arrest since taking Office is the
way Sheriff Baker characterizes the
haul he made near Bay City Tuesday
when, after a tussle, he overpowered
Elmer Taylor at the latter's place on
Goose Lake.
The Sheriff was accompanied by
Deputies 0. P. Olson and Floyd
Baker in making the raid, which is
chronicled in the Ellsworth Record
as follows:
Floyd Baker and a man who re-
sides near Goose Lake went to Tay-
Tors house and made arrangements
10 purchase some moon, Sheriff
Baker remaining behind the house.
When Taylor's neighbor went out to
get d funnel Sheriff Baker started
around the house to make the arrest.
Taylor saw him go by the window
and met the sheriff at the door. He
attempted to pull his automatic,
which he had recently purchased, and
Mr.. Baker grappled with him and
threw him to the floor. The gun
flew out of Taylor's hand and it was
secured by Floyd Baker. A rough
and tumble tussle ensued in which
Mr.. Baker proved his superiority
over his antagonist. Taylor was
hand-cuffed and brought here. His
hearing was set for next Saturday
afternoon. In the meantime Taylor
is the guest of Sheriff Baker at the
county bastile.
Sheriff Baker has been laying for
Taylor for some time. Of late Tay-
lor is said to have threatened to do
scme shooting and Mr.. Baker thought
it high time to bring him to justice.
Taylor has served time in Waupun
on a statutory offense.
A large still, modern in every de-
tail, and quantity of mash and
liquor were confscated on the prem
Uses.

T0UCHDOWNS TO HAVE
ONE FINELY COUNT

The Red & White players, at the
Stevens Point Homecoming last Sat
urday, got great kick" out of the
officiating, to hear them tell it.
River Falls won the game, to 0,
and kept the ball in Stevens Point
Territory most all of the time, but
it was not until the third quarter that
the only score of the game was tai
lied.
Quandt, receiving a perfect pass
from Lowell Dawson on the Point l.
yard line, stepped across but the
play was called back to where Hale
caught the ball, and he had to put It
over again on the next scrimmage.
Brooks kicked goal.
The Coxmen have a rest this week,
and will continue their conference
schedule week from Saturday when
Superior plays here.
The big surprise in the Pedagog!c

0 victory over La Crosse. Stout beat
Superior 6 to 0.
River Falls and Oshkosh are the
only undefeated Normals. The
B'Goshers have an opportunity to tie

Farmers Are Warned
Against Fake Solicitors
Who Quote Higher Prices

Dealers or farmers who ship poul-
try or eggs to unknown firms upon
receipt Of a card giving high quota
tons and soliciting shipments may
lose according to H. M. Lackie, Poul-
try Marketing Specialist with the
Wisconsin Department of Markets.
Mr.. Lackie says that every year
shortly before Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays unreliable per-
sons posing as poultry and egg deal
ers send out cards or letters to deal
ers and to farmers soliciting ship
ments of poultry and quoting prices
considerably higher than the market
conditions warrant. Many shippers
in the past have been attracted by
these high quotations and have made
shipments to these firms to their sor-
row. Poultrymen who make ship
ments to firms about whose financial
standing and reputation they know
nothing are assuming great risk
for in many instances such receivers
have failed to pay for the goods and
upon looking them up the shipper
found that they were unknown or
had moved to another city and fail
ed to leave any forwarding address.
Shipments of poultry should be
made only to firms whose financial
standing and reliability are fully es-
tablished. In the absence of person
al information regarding the dealer
it is possible to find out the standing
of almost any city firm by consult
ing the local banker. He usually has
the rating of every city dealer who
has any real standing in the business
world. 1t is not safe to risk ship
ments to any firms who have no COM
mercial rating.
Poultrymen will find it to their ad-
vantage to avoid shipping eggs or
poultry to firms offering higher quo
tations than the market justifies.
Such quotations are only bait for the
unwary.

Lutheran Cornerstone Laid
With Impressive Ceremony
Last Sunday Afternoon

A large audience attended the fes-
tive occasion of the laying of the
cornerstone of the new English
Lutheran church last Sunday after
noon.
Services opened in the M. E.
church, where the Lutherans are
holding their meetings while their
new church is being completed, and
following this gathering went out
side where the ceremony Of laying
the cornerstone was performed.
The cornerstone ceremony was
performed by President c. o. Solberg
Of Augustanna College and Normal
School, Sioux Falls, S. D. The brief
service at the new church opened
with the audience singing, "My
Faith Looks Up To Thee" and after
the ceremony had been performed all
united in the confession of Faith
Lords Prayer and singing of the
doxology.
The services of the day began
promptly. Six pastors in all partici-
pated in the festive service and the
sacred occasion was made interesting
and edifying in many ways. The
following neighboring pastors gave
short talks and spoke fittingly of the
event and of the progress of local
work which is implied: Rev. N. L..
Blromholm, Rev. H. P. Nordby, Rev.
o. Thompson and Rev. S. K. Berven.
A history of the congregation was
read by Rev. A. L. Rustad in which,
aside from the fairly familiar things
about the Lutheran work here,
brought out and established the fact
that the first sermon ever given in or
near River Falls, or in the vicinity at
all, was delivered by Lutheran
clergyman in the closing year of the
first half of the last century.
The speaker of the occasion was
President c. o. Solberg of Augustan-
ma College and Normal School, Sioux
Falls, S. D. DR.. Solberg brought out
the churchly and spiritual signif-
canoe of the occasion, and the social
value of the Christian religion.
Articles of interest, such as copy
of the Bible, Lutheran Hymary, his
tory of the congregation, list of
Lutheran young people at the State
Normal School, copies of The Journal
and The Times, were placed in the
cornerstone.

NEW RICHMOND GRID STAR
y SAVES GAME FOR BADGERS

All River Falls was taking in the
Wisconsin Minnesota game played
in the Minnesota memorial stadium
Saturday, either by radio or as eye
witnesses, and local interest was
pretty much centered on the perfor-
nance of McAndrews of New Rich
mond.
Mac was the big factor in Osh-
kosh normaPs triumph over the local
Pedagogues three years ago, and his
grid career at Madison has been
closely watched.
Minnesota seemed to be having
walk-away last Saturday during the
first three quarters, and had the
game apparently tucked away at u
0 until the final period, when Nc
Andrews was sent in to "open up"
the play in last desperate rally.
Mac opened it up all right, with d
%5-yard run that completely reversed
the Badger spirit from detection to
fighting hope, and from that moment
on Wisconsin bewildered the Gophers
to such extent that the score was tied
within ten minutes of play, and in
stead of an easy victory, Minnesota
had to be content with a narrow es-
cape from defeat.
The fourth period rally which tied
the score at 12-all, left these two
teams in three-year deadlock, as
the 1924 and 1923 games also ended
in tie scores.

BAD ROADS HAMPER
RURAL MAIL SERVICE

Now is the time for patrons OF
rural mail delivery routes to get
after" their highway commissioners
and urge them to have the bad
stretches of roads mended.
Reports will go in during the next
few weeks regarding the condition Of
roads on every route out Of the local
post office, and it is the sentiment of
the Department that carriers shall
cut sections of their routes that are
not in good shape rather than delay
all service by trying to negotiate bad
stretches.
1t is, therefore, up to the patrons
who wish mail service this winter
to insure against a cut of their por-
ton of the route by having all bad
stretches fixed Immediately.

DEALERS REPORT
POTATO MARKET CLOSED

A survey made by local dealers
shows that there are no more potato
es to be had from this district at the
present time.
A short acreage and short yield
and the retailing of spuds to individ-
ual buyers has combined to clean out
the entire supply, except such as is
being held for the peak price.
There is, it is reported, a consider
able acreage of undug spuds, and it
is thought that the frost has reached
and spoiled them.
