SlOHS on the bowling alleyS. Last
Thursday evening the married men
won three straight games, but Tues

the tables on their married friends
and took two games of the three
played. Henry Elliott rolled the
high score-2O4.
When you buy laundry soap you
expect it to Tighten your labor.
You are disappointed when you
find that you just do all the work
yourself. If you must rub and
scrub and grind all the dirt out,
why use soap at all? Maple City
Self-Washing Soap does the work
you buy it to do. 1t is pure soap
and all soap. For sale by all gro
GERS.
An exchange says: That sheep
and cattle raising will eventually
be the leading industry of the north
ern part of the state, is evident from
the numerous inquiries after large
tracts of cheap land by western
breeders who are actually bringing
their focks here for fattening
which goes to show that the pastur-
age is better here than west of the
Mississippi.
Walter Wellman, Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, appeared under the aus
pices of the Peoples Lecture Course
at Congregational church last Fri
day evening. Mr.. Wellman is a
writer of note, a traveller, an ex-
plorer, has been in Washington for
years, knows the city, it's men, and
it's ways, end his talk was interest
ing and instructive, dealing with
men and scenes now prominent in
the nations capital.
We notice with interest that By
ron ] Price, editor of the Hudson
Star-1'imes, has been rendered the
position of deputy auditor of the
navy. The duties of the Office would
require his presence in Washington,
but Mr.. Price declines the honor on
account of personal and business
reasons. Byron is an all-round good
fellow, an enterprising citizen, a
clean-cut editor and we have been
pleased to know of the success of
his business efforts during many
years. II is gratifying to note that
he is appreciated beyond the limits
of this state-and hope he will con-
tinue to abide perpetually with the
Star Times.
The public schools closed yes
terday for the holiday vacation, all
of the grades giving closing day
exercises appropriate to the season.
The first and second grades uni
ted in room l, giving a varied pro-
gram that was listened to by a
roomfull of delighted friends and
parents. In room 8, grades 3 and
4, entertained another large audi
ence in a very pleasing manner. In
room S, the fifth grade gave pleas
ing Christmas play before a goodly
company of visitors, while the as
senb1y room was filled with listen
ers to the exercises by grades 6, 7,
and s. The exercises were all we'll
prepared and much appreciated by
those who were fortunate enough to
hear them. The schools will now
rest until Jan. IL.
