FARMERS ASSOCIATION

The Bayfield, county fair will be
held at Iron River next week the
dates being fixed for Tuesday, We'd
nesday ard Thursday. The manage
ment of the fair has made special eff
fort this year to make the event one
of special significance. Iron River
has been having a county fair for a
number of years. The time was
when there was a general impress
sion that Iron River was rather
crowding the matter upon the peo-
pie. and it was generally supposed
that the condition of the agricul tur
al interests of the county did not
demand fair, but the development
of these in terests for, which d fair is
intended. have been such of late that
there is now every reason why Bay
field county should make its fairs
the success that is possible if all the
people who ought to DE Interested
will lend helping hand And it is
now apparent that the efforts of the
Iron River people to continue the
fair have been an important lnstru-
,ment at all times in developing the
county. Owing to the recent rapid
development of farming lands there
can now be gathered exhibits from
every one of the ten towns that it
will be well worth going to Iron
Rivert to see. 1t has been arranged
to have exhibits from the counties
of Douglas, Ashland and Iron, and
it is probable that there will also be
"a good attendance of people from
those counties. The fair can do a
great deal towards the end for
which it is intended, and all who
can do so should make it point TO
attend at least one day.

There is little story going the
rounds OF one of our fishermen who
has tried time and again to get nice
string Of fish, with but poor success.
Finally the other day, he drove with
a party way out to the Gran berry
river, put in pleasant day, caught
lots of fish, and after hours of weary
driving reached home. But on the
way a lantern had been tipped over
in the wagon, and when our fisher
man came to look after his fish they
were saturated in kerosene, and the
big catch had to be thrown away.
Surely that is case of OF mighty
hard Embellishments luck is not to
be compared to it.
The semi-annual meeting of the
North Wisconsin Farmers Associa-
ton is to be held at Iron River next
Thursday At the same time

opened. All who can possibly do so.
should be at iron River on that
date It will be the opening Gay CT
the fair, which will remain in ses-
sion during Wednesday and Thurs
day, and which will in all probabil-
ity be the most successful fair Bay
field county has eyer had. Ar
rangements are being made for exhi-
bits from Douglas, Ashland and Iron
counties, which together with these
secured from Bayfield, county ought
to make the fair successful one.

Rural Adventures Of Great Play

RuPaI adventures or Great Play
The following story is told of the
dog days of advent lures of Over
Niagara Falls. play that will be
seen at the Opera House shortly.
There is an influential opera house
of certain onenight stand in Michi-
gan. whose house is used at times
by travelling com panies for brushing
up purposes. He's decidedly oppos-
ed to curtain calls, possibly because
when the house is seated and the
pasteboarb counted, he takes his
stand at the windlass and raises and
lowers the curtain.
''Over the Niagara Falls" was
sent forth on it's present record
breading tour, and the first preform-
ance was given in this town. There
is climax to third act which seldom
fails to get less than eight curtain
calls 1t is stated that on this occas-
ion the scene aroused even more
than the ordinary enthusiasm and
the audience loudly clamered for
curtain after curtain call. It was
sent up and down three times, but
the audience still PERSISTED in Lav-
ing more of the "Falls" scenery.
Places called, the stage manager,
and the performers struck their Gus
tomary attitudes for the tableau,
while the electricians, stage carpen-'
ters and scene shutters attended to
their respective duties.
Take up the curtain, WHAT are
you waiting for?' yelled the stage
manager to the house manager at
the windlass. Still 40 change.
The noise in front had by this time
increased to an uproar.
What is the matter up there?
Raise it up. Can't you hear the
people in the front?" fairly howled
the angry stage manager At this
point the decidedly rustic face of
the house manager, his brow drip
ping PRECIPITATION, peered over the
| fly gallery and foghorn voice came
down: Say, if you want this COL
darned old curtain raised again.
jest come and do it yerself, I'm all
tuckered out.
