before the public in Milwaukee in an
unenviable light. His wife, Nellie, has
obtained a divorce from him, charging

to nearly all our merchants.
The Endicott board of the war de-
partment is considering the plan of
building q number of forts along the
frontier of the great lakes and among
the cities named where such forts shall
be built are Ashland and Milwaukee in
this state. The plan is favored for the
reason that the Canadian government
is building an elaborate system of trunk
lines and water ways, apparently for
commercial purposes, but with direct
view toward their future military USE
At the county board meeting to be
held this week it is said petition will
be presented asking that a new town
be created from territory now embraced
by the towns of Day and Bergen, such

which would lie between the two.
Henry French has had a large
refrigerator built on the south side of
his store, it runs back of the counter
and has glass doors which slide up and
down. 1t is about six feet high by 20
feet long. 1t was planned by Mr.
French who has had about as much ex-
perience in the grocery line as any one
in this section, and who says that it is
going to be invaluable to him in many
ways. While working upon it last
Friday, Mr.. French had the misfortune
to run a nail into his left hand which
has made it necessary for him to carry
the hand in sling since that time
The injured member is much better at
this writing.

President Roosevelt has sent mes
sage DER the lant, announcing Thurs
day, Nov. 30th, as Turkey Day, so fatten
up your birds and sharpen your axe.
At first there was some doubt in the
minds of some people as to what day
was really Thanksgiving, there being
five Thursdays in the month this year
and Thanksgiving usually falling on
the fourth Thursday of November.
Another thing which confused people
was that manufacturers of calendars
got mixed in their dates, some printing
the 23d in red ink and others the 3Oth,
denoting the annual holiday. But the
president has taken great load off the
minds of the people by designating the
Both as the day on which we can with pro-
priety eat bird. Who will start list
OF donations for the city's poor this
year? 1t has been customary to give
needy families something each year at
Thanksgiving time.
