oRATORICAL CONTEST
FOR INDUSTRIAL FAIR

One of the promised novel features
of the Industrial fair, which opens
one week from This evening at the
rink, is an oratorical contest be-
tween pupils representing the public
schools of the three cities.
The management has extended an
invitation to the superintendents of
schools of the three cities to arrange
for such contest to take place dur
ing the progress of the fair between
pupils from any of the grades that
may be decided upon, outside judges
to pass upon the merits of the con
testants. The gentlemen addressed
have agreed to take the matter up
amongst themselves.
Another attraction to be given
nightly VIII be a series of moving
pictures showing a variety of scenes.
An artist in this line with expensive
apparatus has been engaged for the
two weeks of the fair and this feat
ure promises to be one of the most
attractive that will appear.

CLERGYMAN'S CHILDREN.
Coffee Being Replaced by Postum Food
Coffee.

Coffee
Il am the wife of minister. About
three years ago a warm friend. an
exemplary mother and the conscien-
tiOus wife of Il minister. asked me if
/ had ever tried giving up coffee and
using the Postum Food Coffee. | had
been telling her of my excessive
nervousness and in health. She said:
We drink nothing else for breakfast
but Postum Food Coffee. and it is a
delight and a comfort to have some
thing that we do not have TO refuse
the children when they ask for it,
Il was surprised that she would
permit the children to drink any
kind of coffee. but she explained that
it was most healthful beverage and
that the children thrived ON il. y
very little thought convinced me that
for brainwork one should not rely
upon a stimulant such as coffee is.
but should have food and the very
best of food.
''My first trial of Postum was u
failure. The maid of all work
brought IL TO the table, lukewarm,
weak, and altogether lacking in char
acter. We were in despair, but de-
cided on one more trial. At the sec
ond trial, we faithfully followed the
directions, used four teaspoonsful to
the pint of water, let il boil full fif
teen minutes after the real boiling
began. and served il with rich cream.
1t was delicious and we were all won.
IL have since sung the praises of
Postum Food Coffee on many. many
n
of friends TO abandon coffee and use
Postum, with remarkable results.
The wife of college professor said
to me a short time ago that nothing
had ever produced so marked
change in her husbands health as
the leaving off of coffee and the use
of Postum Food Coffee" Edith

INDIAN PRAIRIE DOG HUNTS
The Little Animals Arc Deemed n

The Little Animals Arc Deemed n
Dainty Dish by the NnvajOeE.
The Navajo Indian, while he cannot
be prevailed upon to eat rabbit, Is
CreediIy fond of fat prairie dogs. Large
communities of these small animals
abound on the western plains, and tho
Navajo has resorted to many ingenious
methods for trapping his coveted dain-
ty. One of them is by the aid of bit
of mirror placed at the entrance to Il
burrow. When the animal ventures
from his bedroom, deep under ground,
he sees a familiar image mocking him
at the front door. and he hurries out to
confront the impudent intruder, when
he is pinned to the ground with an ar
row.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt. AS
soon as the steady downpour Of sum-
mer rains begin every Navajo who can
walk repairs 10 the prairie dog village
with hoes, sharp sticks or any digging
implement. With these they hollow
out trenches that viii lead the storm
water into as many burrows as posi-
BILE. Soon a little stream is pouring
down each small home, and the inmate,
much disturbed, pops out to see what
the matter can be. Many of the ami
mails remain under ground until they
are drowned, and their bodies float to
the surface.
After such n hunt, in which many
pounds of prairie dogs are generally
secured, there is feast for many days
in the Navajo huts.-New York Com

Sheep Raising.

The question of sheep raising in
Northern Wisconsin has been the sub
ject of discussion for many years, but
it is no longer question as to what
the results of a trial of the enterprise
will be in any section of the North
where the cut-over lands are rank with
underbrush and bushes. The sheep
not only thrive on the brush but they
actually clear the land of all the small
stuff that is so laborious for man to
take out. The proposition of winter
housing and proper protection from
dogs and wild animals is about the only
one for serious consideration before the
venture is an assured success. The
profit from sheep raising is substantial
and as reasonably sure as any from
stock or crops can be. A great many
localities similarly situated to this
have tried the experiment with good
success. So far no great effort have
been made toward introducing sheep
to the lands of this county, and the
result of the experiment will be looked
for with much interest. In Northern
Wisconsin the pasturage on the cut
over lands is just the right kind for
sheep raising, and there are enough
trees left standing, which, with the
underbrush, gives them good protec-
tion from heavy winds.
The raising of goats on the cut-over
lands has been tried in some counties
with good results. They are a great
help to the farmer in clearing up his
land, as they are faithful workers, and
initiate not only the underbrush but
noxiOus weeds as we'll.

Beauty Lends Erchartnert

The main feature of Northern Wis
consin as recreation ground is the
undisturbed primative beauty of it's
lakes and rivers. True the saw and
the axe of the lumbermen felled and
carried away the noble pines. But
they did not transform the natural set
ting of the wooded shores to the artis-
tical handiwork of the modern land
scape gardner. A luxuriant second
growth followed close on the track of
the logger. Wild game was not
slaughtered to extinction and the lakes
and streams were not despoiled of fish.
Nature gave to this region most
invigorating summer climate. The
cool winds from the colder country to
north are tempered before they reach
this belt. Forests Of pine and balsam
lend their quoting balm to the air.
Sans malaria sans dampness the eli
mate breeds healthy men and animals.
You take the evening train in the
heated city to the south Morning
finds you craning to the car window
like an imprisoned beast for a breath
of the free air of the north land.
This year the number Of summer
tourists has not been so large as was
expected. The causes assigned are the
Pan-American exposition, and the I'M
usual inducements made by other To-
calities for the crowd. However this
does not mar the enjoyment of those
who come this way. The plentiful
rainfall has made the forest tangle al
most tropical, the hotels are not taxed
and their is genuine comfort to be had
at very little effort. Railroad accom-
modations we're never better and close
communication can now be had over
the entire country.-Tomahawk Toma-

AS it appears, our summer resorts
are not the only ones that complain OF

sorts are filed to over-fowing, by the

Save Your Straw.

w. A. Henry, director of the Agri-
cultural Experiment station at Madi-
son, has sent out the following bulletin:
"The most disastrous drought which
ever affected this country now prevails
from Ontario to Kansas and Texas,
covering region of over thousand
miles long by several hundred miles in
width. 1t includes southern Wiscon-
sin. There is every prospect of a great
shortage of crops in this region. Stock
men in southern Wisconsin, Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and other states will
have to buy great quantities of grain,
hay and straw to keep their stock alive
next winter.
A part Of Wisconsin has abundant
crops. If the farmers so blessed will
only save these there will be large
money returns to them the present
season. There will be call by shippers
for every pound of tame hay, wild hay
and straw that can be spared. Many
farmers by saving their corn fodder
and by cutting wild and marsh hay,
can have large quantities of tame hay
and straw to sell. Not a pound of any
kind of feed should be wasted. Even
the lower grades of wild hay and marsh
hay should be carefully harvested and
saved for feeding at home this winter
SO as to sell as much as possible of the
better grades. Let the word be passed
from mouth to mouth so that those
having good crops may save all they
possibly can of them for sale this fall
and winter
