Kickers Are Dangerous.

Occasionally one will hear the re-
mark, II wish I were out of this
town, and then we feel like saying,
II wish so too," for a man who
stands on the corners chewing and
splitting and telling obscene stories,
cursirg the town, finding fault with
his grandmother because she was a
woman, claiming that the merchants
are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers
and officials would skin a man to a
finish, is nuisance and an abomin-
alton. Any town pestered with one
or more such worthless would be
justified in exercising COW hide
authority on the bosoms of their
pants. No one is obliged to live
where they are not suited. If one
hasn't an encouraging word for the
business enterprises and institutions
of his town, he should shut up and
''go away back and sit down." If
things don't suit you 60 where they
will. A GROWER and a sorebead in
a town is an enterprise killer every
time. 1t would pay town to
donate $500 and tell him to move.

The steel range agent, with his
two and four horse teams, is again
doing this part of the country and
the probabilities are that all who
deal with him will find in a short
time that they have been ''done''
without any question. There never
was an outfit of that kind of goods
that dealt on the square and people
should give them a cold reception.
There isn't a hardware dealer in the
country VINO would not gladly
duplicate the prices quoted on these
goods by the oily-tongued agents
and when you buy of a resident
dealer you are sure there will be no
raised note" or other after trouble
to haunt you. Besides the goods
will be warranted and the home
dealer is always here to make good
any possible defect.
One problem has never been
solved. The average boy will toll
and sweat for a whole hour carry
ing water to drown out a gopher
and the same boy will complain if
his mother wishes pail of water
brought from just outside the
kitchen door. One is sport, the
other work. The query is where
does the sport leave off and the
work begin?
"A Rhinelander chemist has a IL
quid, one drop of which in water,

foremost man of the day. What
an advantage for the campaign,
not to mention picnics and fishing
excursions.

Services at Congregational.

Services at the Congregational
church reached acknowledgements
last Sunday evening.
A full house of naatured people
were delighted with the most excel
lent song service rendered by the
cher.
/. Six special musical selections were
on the program all deserving of
special mention.
The blending voices in the
anthems showed that many hours
must have been given to rehearsals
to master such great productions.
AS an appreciation of the SPLEEN
did service and excellent training
by the leader, Rev. Ralph presented
Miss McCawley at the close of the
service with an envelope containing
substantial gifts, contributed by
friends who have been attending
the services.
A further appreciation of the
choir as whole was shown by the
ladies of the church in providing
conveyance and luncheon for them
on Monday to enjoy picnic.
The members of the choir are:
Miss Marjorie McCaw,ey, leader;
Miss Josephene Hudson, organist;
Misses Martha Baxter, Clara Stiles,
George Hyde, Stella Smith, Bessie
BROKER and Janett Mccoy and
Messrs. Ed. Hyde, Clarence Howe,
L. Groenier, Herbert Pendelton.
The company was provided with
a bus, but made their own choice of
a more primitive fashion, and on a
hay rack with hay for cushions this
jolly crowd of singers drove out to
Moore's grove for pleasant after
noon Monday.

New Mining Company.

The Lancaster Prospecting COM
pany is the title of new organiza-
ton formed at meeting of those in
terested at Lou Fischers shop
Saturday eve.
The company is composed of 40
members, most of them residing in
Lancaster. Temporary organiza-
ton was effected in choosing Lou
Fischer chairman, A. W. Hastings
secretary and G. w. Knapp treasur-
er. A committee on bylaws, ETC.,
was named, consisting of Al Hyde,
Lou. Fischer and VIM. Bailie. An
adjourned meeting will be held on
the goth inst.
The company has leased some
promising prospects near Kendall
town.

meeting voted to buy and sent out
5000 copies of each paper, mailing
them to merchants, manufacturers
and others in various states. In adj
ditlon to this, 500 families agreed
to buy five copies each and mail
them away.
The result has been just what
was looked for by the level-headed
men who started the movement.
That wolverine town of 5000 in
habitants is being talked about to-
day in a dozen states, and it's post
master, mayor and the editors are
being flooded with letters of inquiry.
1t has been visited by men looking
for factory sites, by men who wish
to estab lish some line of mercantile
business, by people searching for
work and for homes. The results
have come quickly and are more
than satisfactory. Had a hundred
men gone East, West, North and
South and talked for weeks they
could not have created half the stir.

FUN TO BE A MERCHANT.
Some People Send Away Cash and
Seek Tick at Home Country Mer-
chant Much Abused and Long
Suffering Business Man.

''Yes," remarked the country
merchant to newspaper reporter,
II certainly have a snap. The
wholesale houses send me duns
every month and draw on me at
sight; but if I send a bill to a farm
er he comes in swearing mad and
quits trading at my store. While I
am hard up for ready money, many
of those who owe me are sending
cash in advance to mail order
houses. If I contribute money to
any cause people say am bidding
for trade; if don't, they say ! am a
hog. Every day am expected to
dig up for everything that comes
along. from a rattle ticket to a
church fund, by people who say I
ought to do this because they do a
part of their trading here; but my
friend Montgomery Ward neither
buys rattle tickets or helps the
church fund, and yet gets the cash-in-
advance business; and if I were to
circulate subscription paper among
the city wholesale houses where we
trade I would get the horse laugh
proper. If sell pair of pants I
must treat the family to candy and
cigars; if buy load of potatoes I
must do the same. Customers who
are able to pay hang onto their

BOOMING THEIR TOWN.
Michigan City Believes in Printers
Ink-GOOd Advertising Patronage
Obligates a Newspaper Man to
Do What He Can For His Town.

A certain town in Michigan is a
satisfying place of residence for the
two editors of that place. Not long
ago the people got together and de-
cided the town needed pushing. AS
a preliminary step, the promoters
agreed to recognize the Importance
of the two local weekly newspapers.
1t was realized that while every
man, woman and child IN town
might write a letter to outsiders
concerning the advantages of their
community or that five or ten men
might be sent out to travel and talk
up the town, it's newspapers, if
properly backed, would do fifty
times as much.
That town had two weekly pap
ers. The meeting voted to raise
800 apiece for them, and the editors
pledged themselves to get out
boom" issues. They did so, de-
voting three pages to the history of
the town, it's growth, it's advantages
and needs. Every item that might
prove Of use to manufacturers or
business men was inserted, and all
information that homeseekers might
desire was given at length. The
editors more than earned their
money. When they had their
matter in hand second public

BOSCOBEL GETS IT.
Soldiers Reunion Next Year to .be
Held There.

The soldiers reunion at Platte
vile last week was success in
every particular, but the attend
ance of the old vets is every year
growing less at these demonstra-
lions they are supposed to be the
main feature of.
AT the business meeting Pres.
Grlndell was reelected for another
year and it was decided to hold the
reunion next year at Boscobel.
A very pressing invitation was
extended to the w. r. G.. to come
to Boscobel and promise of the most
hospitable treatment was made.
