Old Winter came back at us last
Sunday with more than usual terror.
Last Sunday was the most clustering
day of the season thus far. Such I'M.

Gail Hamilton is a believer in
pedigree. A child, she thinks, is a
sort Of mosaic, made up Of the traits
of his ancestors. ''He gets, for in

ception from his father, furious tenn

self, and the amount Of self-restraint
she exhibits is astounding.

stock to the amount of $4,000 in the
Stevens Point Boom Company is now
before the people. and will be voted on
next week. It will undoubtedly carry.
Over $4,000 have already been ex-
pended on the boom, and it is estima-
