FLOWER FARMERS.
Women as Agriculturists-Inte
 Occupations.

Women as Aericulturists-Int
 Occupations
 | Fruit farms, flower gardens and live stock studs are successfully carried on by women in the west. The east goes in for quality rather than quantity in this as some other instances and our petticoated farmers rear fancy vege- tables" Angora cats, orchids and mushrooms A woman who has large farm in Massachusetts has a regular market for her produce, which she sends to the neghboring towns daily. She makes a speciality of lettuce and celery, and gets big prices for both ar tfcles. She began as a girl with a sweet pea patch, the flowers of which she sent to town to sell She owns and manages her farm, and has tripled Its value by Improvements within ten years. In Westchester county woman has a violet farm. She grows nothing but violets, and from September to March manages to clear several thou sand dollars.
 A Long Island woman, who has a | flourishing nursery and farm, went in- to the "millet business" because she owned some land, and had to do some- thing for a living and loved the coun- try She did not know much about farming but she studied, and when she began her experiment did much work herself She was not @ robust individ- ual but she has improved in health since she began life as a day laborer, the constant occupation in the open air curing her of whimsical nerves. But she does not advise the average woman to till the soil for gain. The average woman likes the excitement and dis fractions of the town. The farmeress works hard and her recreations are of a nature as quiet as her wark. To be successful, woman farmer or flower must be up early and late, out in all weathers, able to withstand extremes love the work.
 Flower farming is not business for the feeble in body, nor for those whose minds require a constant social stimu- Jus, nor for the woman whose wishes to make a small capital produce large annual income. But with the requisite physical and mental qualifications a sum of money to invest without de- manding any immediate return and disposition to find happiness in con- stant occupation, a flower farmers life offers abundant satisfaction. Rough work can all be done by hired men, but there is plent of work that women can do even if they have not much bodily strength. Picking, packing and bunch ing flowers are delicate work, also mak- ing wreaths and ornamental designs. A pleasant work, if a woman puts her mind on it, Is growing roses, lilies, ferns. etc.

SECOND WARD PARADE AND
 RALLY.
Participated in by Many Democratic
 Clubs Last Night.

Participated in by Many Democratic Clubs Last Night
 The Democratic Bronson club of the Second ward held @ big rally and pa- rade last night which was participated in by clubs from the Fifth, Sixth, Sev- enth, Eighth, Ninth and Twelfth wards The parade started about 9 o'clock from the corner of Asylum and Oak streets with about ,500 men in line. The Old Guard band headed the line and a drum corps of twenty pieces marched about the middle of the procession. The parade passed down Oak street to How ard, to Davenport avenue, to Elliott street, to Sylvan avenue, to Orchard street to Oak street, to Sherman ave- nue, to George street, to Winthrop avenue, to Derby avenue, countermarch to Winthrop avenue, to George street, to Sherman avenue, to Chapel street, to Dwight street, to Oak street, to the speakers stand erected on Oak street, between Asylum and Elliott streets.
 All along the line of march residences were handsomely illuminated while their owners stationed in front yards sent up fireworks and burned red fire galore. On Elliott street and Daven- port avenue the illuminations were es- pecially profuse. Elliott street was in a blaze of Roman candles, red fire, and other fireworks Among the houses at which the illuminations and decorations were especially fine was the residence of John c. Punderford on sherman avenue There hundreds of Chinese lanterns were festooned from the front of the yard to the top of the house and dozens of sticks of red fire blazed in the yard. As the parade passed mines of vari-oolored fire were exploded all making a most brilliant scene. Other handsomely decorated residences were those of Town Clerk F. H. Brethauer and Superintendent of Streets John J. Brennan on Elliott street, J. Harmar Bronson at the corner of Chapel and Norton streets, Councilman Hofacker and James F. McGann on Davenport avenue, and c. s. Hamilton on Norton street.
 The candidates for congress, senator, judge of probate, Judge Bronson, and representatives, Aldermen Brill and Adams of the Second ward, Mayor Driscoll, c. S. Hamilton and James B. Martin, chairman of the democratic town committee, rode in the parade in carriages.
 Owing to the lateness of the hour when the parade was finished the speeches were necessarily brief. The speakers stand was draped in bunting and lighted by torches. Attorney Charles c. Spreyer was chairman of the evening and made the opening speech. Other speakers were Oliver Glider sleeve, candidate for congress; J. F. Donovan and L. w. Housel, candidates for representatives; c. S. Hamilton, Mayor Driscoll and Controller Jonathan N Rowe

A CELEBRATED WISCONSIN FAMILY.
Sister OF The Famous Pioneer, Solomon
Juneau, Living on High Street.

Our attention was called this week
to the fact that the aged sister of
Solomon Juneau, the generally accred-
tied founder and first mayor OF
Milwaukee was living on High street
and in very poor health. To verify
this statement We called Monday at
NelS PaSeneau'S. whose wife is a niece
of Solomon Juneau. and found the ole
lady as stated, in poor health. blind
and aged but in entire possession Of
her mental faculties. Her name is
Mrs. Jos. GOthiea and she and her
aged husband are making and have
made for the past a years their home
with Their daughter. Mrs. PaSeneau.
in Grand Rapids. Mr. GOthiea is &
years old and apparentlya bright and
rugged as most men are at 60.
Solomon Juneau was a fur dealer in
the employ of the Hudson Bay COM
pany and came to Milwaukee in 1918.
He was not the founder Of the city as
is generally believed but married the
daughter of Jacques Niedu. who
had settled at Milwaukee and founded
Ia little trading point before the
coming fJuneau, but Juneau attained
a wide celebrity afterward in the
northwestern territory. was elected
mayor of Milwaukee in 1913 and was
generally accredited the founder of
the city. He hads a big trade in furs
with the Indians ana travelled all
over this section of the state, finally
dying suddenly at Shawano in
November, 1856, at the age of So years.
In 1852 Mr.. and Mrs. Gothea
removed from their home in Montreal,
Canada, and came to Dodge county,
Wis, settling at Theresa, a trading
point established by Juneau where he
at that time lived, and the little
town that afterwards sprung up at
this point was named after Mr.. and
Mrs. Gothiea's oldest daughter,
Theresa. Mr.. GOthiea has a pair of
gold-bowed spectacles in a heavy
silver case that his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Juneau, formerly wore and after
wards presented to him. They are
over 80 years old and are curious
cooking glasses as compared with those
made today. Mrs. Gothiea is 81 years
Did and she and her husband have
Oeen married IS years. She was the
youngest child in a family Of nine
children and is now the only survivor
of this celebrated family. If the we'll
tO-dO citizens of Milwaukee wanted to
be generous and at the same time do
lOnOr to the distinguished family Of
he founder of their city they could
,ubScribe to a small sum that would
make easy the declining days of these
aged people who are in very poor
circumstances.

STEVENS POINT vs.. GRAND RAPIDS.
Victory Landed by Grand Rapids After Des.
perate Struggle at the Fair Grounds.

Saturday afternoon as per ADVERTISE
ment the Stevens Point Normal foot
Oall team met the Grand Rapids
aggregation at the fair grounds in
this CITY, and after Cne of the most
ratio and in some respects brilliantly
played games of season. victory fell to
Jhe lot of Grand Rapids by score Of
10 to 6. Neither side scored during
the first hale, although Grand Rapids
worked the ball by a series of brilliant
plays to within foot of the goal line
when they lost it on tumble. When
time was called the boys were mixed
up in hot struggle near the center
Of the field with the advantage slightly
favOring Grand Rapids. The home
team had the ball at the opening of
the second half and taking advantage
of their rest and position they quickly
and steadily overcome the best
opposition the visitors could put up
and soon scored the first touch down,
but failed to kick goal, netting them
5 points. Then it seemed Stevens
Points turn to score and they went
after it with a will and by good hard,
careful work they zigzagged across
the field and scored a touch down and
kicked goal. This left Stevens Point
l score ahead. 1t was Grand Rapids
turn to kick off and Alex Bandeline
sent it over the heads of all the Stevens
Pointers and when it had ceased to
caper over the meadow, outside of the
field it was found to be in the arms of
Paul Love who hugged it as if it were
the dearest thing on earth while the
crowd hOwled for Judgment and footed
those ugly little horns until the place
seemed veritable pandimOnium.

on the ballot and the persons thus
named become the presidents of the
republic.
The terms Of presidents vary from
six months in San MarinO and one
year in Switzerland to seven years in
France. Only one French president,
however, has served his full seven
years, and he was force to resign in
his second term. Three other French
presidents were forced to resign and
one was aSSassinated. In the Central
and South America republics the
term of the president is from four
to six years. In several the same
person cannot serve for two successive
terms, and in one two full terms
must intervene before a president
can be reelected. In Switzerland a
president cannot serve for two sue
ceSSiye terms. 1t is almost fixed
custom for the vice president of
Switzerland to be elected president at
the expiration Of his term in the
former Office.

of the people, though suffrage is not
in all cases universal, and in many of
the Central and South American

CRANBERRY CROP SOLD.
Higher Prices and Quick Sales Make Growers

went to Kansas City. st. Paul,
Minneapolis. Lacrosse, Chicago and
points west, northwest and southwest.
Despite the unfavOrable circumstances
of large competing apple crop and
too warm weather, the demand for
cranberrieS was unusually good this
year. This is accounted for, because of
a shortage both east and west, the east
being about % per cent. short and the
west nearly 40 per cent. short. Prices
ruled from % to 40 cents barrel higher
this year than last and the quality was
tirst-class, though no better than last
year. All in all the season has been a
very satisfactory one among growers.
The Wisconsin Valley product this
year amounted to between twenty-five
and thirty thousand barrels.

IN WOOD COUNTY
Probably no better campaign was
ever put up in Wood county than that
prosecuted by the republicans on the
local ticket. Energy and tenaCity
characterized it from the start, and
although the voter was impOrtuned
by the opposition to give the present
incumbentS another trial and eXtOlled
their ability as officers and theiI
worth as citizens to the highest degree,
a large majority of the voters could
see no magic charm in the combination
this year and resolutely maintained
their allegiance to the republican
party and its candidates. The result
is that every man on the republican
ticket is elected by majoritieS rang
ing in round numbers from 300 to 500.
The familiar old addage that every
dog has his day" is verified in this
case, and the defeated candidates can
console themselves with the thought
that they did the best they could,
that they have had their innings, that
it took a tine body OF men to do the
trick and that the positions they
vacate on the first of January will ali
be as we'll filled with good capable
republicans.
During the next congress the senate
of the United States will stand 53 re-
publicans. 26 democrats and II
independents.
