Football accidents have commenced
to happen in earnest. Franklin Pardee
had his left collar bone fractured last
evening while practicing on the high
school grounds Laurence johnson
has also received a kick in the back
which gave him quite little trouble
for few hours. The new game does
not seem to be any better than the old
one, when it comes to accidents.
A dance was given Saturday evening
I at Woodman hall on the west side for
the purpose of raising funds to partially
meet the financial loss incurred when
the last nj. w. A. picnic was held here
in August There was a large crowd
| present and the dance from a social
point of view was success. The pro-
| ceeds from the sale of tickets did not
meet the shortage, nor did the Wood
men expect such good luck. However,
large portion of the debt was wiped
off the slate and the two local societies
will make up the balance from their
treasures.
V. A. Anderson, who owns land east
of the road just this side of Schofield,
has teams and crew of men at work
cleaning the snags and stumps out of
the slough which extends through the
property This he does primarily to i'm
prove the looks of the pond, and may
later lease the grounds and pond for
club house and boating purposes. In
case the Rothchilds dam is built, this
would be an ideal place for club house
and handy to lake Wausau The inter-
urban line, if built south, will run right
by the property.

The exhibits at the late county fair
developed the fact that Marathon
county is fast becoming great potato
county. One whole section in the agri-
cultural building was taken up with
potatoes and there we're 176 entries on
