BUTTER WILL BE HIGH
Farmers With Cows Will Reap
Golden Harvest This Winter.

Those familiar with the conditions
of the produce houses of the North
wesb say that there never was a time
i'm the history of Wisconsin when
there was the certainty that now ex-
lists, that the price of butter will be
so high as it will this coming winter.
They attribute this fact to several
reasons, all of which are highly prob
able. 1t is said that the consumption
of cream by the manufacturers OF
cheese is much greater this year.
than last.
1t is said that two of the largest
houses in this section of the country
which had fully 100000 pounds OF
butter in storage last year at this
time, haven't single pound this
year. The sales have been SO steady
and the consumption so great that ii
took every pound produced to supply
the immediate demands.
There are a number of farmers in
Wood County who are acting on the
information to this effect, and are
milking more cows now than ever
before. A number would do so if it
were not for the probability of the
scarcity of feed for this winter. The
farmer however, who has silo fodder
and plenty of clover hay, need feel nc
fears along this line, and unless al
signs fail, the one who has many COWS
will reap golden harvest al through
the winter

PLEASANT RECEPTION

At the last regular meeting of the
Order of the Eastern Star, Wednesday
evening, July 10, the session was given

Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeslee were pre-
Sented with set of solid silver spoons

respect in which they are held by the
members OF that order. The presen-
tation speech was made by DR.. w. o.
Blanchar in a very pleasing manner,
and was responded to by Father
Blakeslee in his usual graceful manner.
Light refreshments were served and
all report most delightful evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeslee will be at
home to their friends in the Episcopal
Rectory.

THROWN FROM THEIR RIG
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Dudley In.
iured in Runaway Friday Night

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Dudley had run.
away. Friday evening which resulted
seriously. They had just started from
their home on Grand Ave. and were
headed north when Mrs. Dudley raised
a white parasol in the buggy. This
scared the horse which plunged
madly forward and Mr.. Dudley lost
control of the animal at the first
plunge The horse ran on TO the
sidewalk in front of the Gross &
Lyons store, down the street to
James. Chamberlains, then over a
hitching post and across the street to
Taylor &eScott's Office where he col
lided with rig standing there. AT
this point Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley were
thrown out and under The other horse
and their frightened animal kept on
his mad flight across the river and up
Vine st. turning north on 3rd st. to
Mrs. .Cooneys residence. Here he ran
across her property, leaving the re.
mains of the rig in the front yard.
The horse jumped down the embank-
ment at the rear of the Cooney place
and was lost to view in the mud and
weeds. Ropes were used to drag him
out again.
Mr. Dudley sustained a compound
fracture of the right leg below the
knee and Mrs. Dudley escaped miracul.
ously with only few bruises. The
rig is a total loss.

MEMORIAL MEETING
Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society Recounts Their Days
With Mrs. Francis Compton.

The regular meeting of the Womans
Foreign Missionary society was held
at the home of Mrs. G. w. Purnell on
Thursday afternoon July IL. The
programme was largely memorial
service for Mrs. Francis Compton.
A large number of the older men,
bers of the society were present to
show the respect and affection in
which her memory is held.
Mrs. Gardner had charge of this
part of the service. She spoke of the
letters she had received from Miss
Celia Compton and of her visit with
Mrs. Compton at her home in Brook
lyn. At this time Mrs. Compton ex-
pressed her interest in the work this
society has undertaken; namely the
support of bible woman in Turkey,
saying she hoped some time to render
substantial aid to this cause. Mrs.
Gardner called upon many of her old
friends, among them were: Mrs
Ticknor, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Dennis and
Mrs. Brundage, who spoke with much
feeling of their long and happy ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Compton in
whom they had known nothing but
to love and ADMIRE" she was always
full of good cheer-no social gathering
was a success without her. One
spoke of her always improving every
opportunity to develope i'm spiritual
growth, another spoke of her desire
for intellectual growth of her having
taken the Chautauqua course and
completing it.
Rev. Staff also made few remarks
in which he said mo more beautiful
tribute could be paid to her memory
than for her daughters to continue a
work in which she was so deeply inte-
rested and it is beau tiful Christian
life indeed that can leave such an i'm
press upon her children The moth
ers missionary box was sent which to-
gether with the offerings of her dauhg-
tiers, amounted to eleven dollars.
Mrs. Bedford favored the society
with a charming vocal solo entitled,
''Thy will be DONE" The meeting
adjourned, all feeling they had been
benefited by reviewing the life of
this beautiful Christian character.

BOYS ACCUSED OF CRIME
Said 70 Have Burned up Wood
and Trees on SiQeI Farm.

Justice Keyes was engaged in listen.
ing TO the case of the State of Wiscon.
sin VS.. Alvin LindStrom, and Earnest
and Iver Larson Thursday. The
Justice bound the defendants over to
the next term of the Circuit Court,
when their case will be disposed of
by Judge Webo.
This case is the outgrowth of the
complaint of Martin Olin. of the Town
of Sigel. Mr.. Olin claims that the de-
PENDANTS, who are allboys between the
ages of eleven and fifteen years,
set ire TO pile of wood on his farm
and not only destroyed it, but also
SOC .ergreen trees on the place.
This is serious charge and if the
complaint is substantiated the boys
will probably be given severe punish
ment.

GOOD WORD ABOUT LAND
In Northern Wisconsin Spoke n
by Iowa Newspaper.

In it's issue of June 2lst. Wallace's
Farmer. published at Des Moines,
Iowa, presented to it's readers these
interesting statements concerning
northern WisconSin:
"We have frequent letters from all
sorts of people wishing to know where
there remains any considerable body OF
good land at d low price, and where
farming can be carried on along practi-
cally the same lines as in Iowa, or por-
tions Of adjoining states that are SINH
lar to Iowa in soil and climate. Young
men write us that it is folly for them
TO undertake to buy land at from one
, hundred to one hundred and fl fly dol
lars per acre in Illinois, and from sixty
to one hundred and twenty five in Iowa
| They believe that there must some
where be just as good land that can be
| farmed in the same way that is on the
market for sale at thirty, forty and
| fifty dollars. Men who are working
] by the month on farms writes US to
| know where they can obtain good
| farms without bdnkrupting them
selves. Farmers with large families
of growing boys ask similar question.
| 1t is not easy to answer such questions.
We are not in the business of buying
real estate; and yet we feel bound to
give an honest answer to these in
| or ri
possible for US to give. There is a
great deal of good land outside of the
corn belt that can be had at compari-
E! lively reasonable prices. There is a
vast amount of good land in northern
Wisconsin and Minnesota, where the
rainfall is ample; where clover is a
weed; where timothy grows better
than in the corn belt, and where blue
grass has become nuisance. The
farmer who goes into that section will
very soon discover. that he cannot
grow corn in large way, nor feed
cattle and hogs as he did in the corn
belt proper. Any man who is a good
farmer, however, and not over fifty
years, can adapt himself to the new
condi 6iOns if he will, and make all the
money that is really good for him.
| No matter where a man goes, be
should buy good land. We have often
described good land as land with good,
deep soil; subsoil capable or holding
moisture (either clay or bearing
| sand); and with sufficient moisture to
secure good crops every year. No man
ever loses money by buying land Of
this character, unless he OverreacheS
himself in his desire to hog il all in. F"

SOME MARRIAGES
MAY BE ILLEGAL

A question has been raised as to
whether neglect of technicalities of
the state law will not invalldate GER
tain marriages in this state, where
the minister performing the ceremony
is not registered in the same county.
According to the state law, it is neces-
sary for any minister performing a
marriage ceremony TO be registered
in the county in which the ceremony
is performed.
1t is said that this fact is not gener-
ally known by ministers and some
have neglected. In Grand Rapids as
in numerous other cities, marriages
have frequently been performed by
ministers from other cities. In only
few of these instances have the visit
ing ministers taken the pains to regis
ter themselves at the proper office.
Whether or not this would invalidate
these marriages is question.

TO OBSERVE NEW LAW

The new law regarding the regu.
lation or the sleeping cars on the rail.
roads in this state is low ia effect
and the headquarters of the different
railroads have issued notices calling
attention To the provisions of the new
law. and instructing conductors and
porters to see that they are strictly
enforced.
One of the most important sections
OF the law is in regard TO requests of
people occupying lower births in
sleeping cars to have the upper births
opened or closed. The new law re-
QuireS that when person pays for a
whole lower berth and the upper birth
is actually unoccupied, the party occu-
pying the lower birth shall say wheth-
er the upper birth is to be left open or
closed. Refusal on the part of the
persons in charge of the car will result
in fine for the railroad company and
the company owning the car.

ATTACKED BY VICIOUS DOGS

Some of the mail carriers report
trouble with vicious dogs. During
the cold weather the dogs did net
bother much, but now that it is hot,
they are snappy and sometimes ugly.
A few days ago Substitute ROLAND
Baldwin was attacked by one of these
animals while carrying mail, and
while he was not bitten, he had a
narrow escape. Friday R. w.
Lyon, carrier on route four, was also
attacked by an ugly dog, and for a
time it appeared the animal would
have the best of the argument. Dur
ing the melee, Mr.. Lyon dropped
several of his packages and was put
to a great deal of inconvenience.
People owning dogs that are in any
way vicious should not expect their
mail delivered unless they take the
proper precautions to keep their dogs
shut up. A mail carrier has no time
to defend himself against these ami
mails, and is not compelled to do so by
the department.

DISAPPEARED WEEK AGO
Marshfield Man Being Searched
Fer by Wife,

Who knows the whereabouts OF
George Parker of Marshield, who has
been employed in the Wisconsin Box
and Lumber company's factory in this
city for some time? He disappeared
last Saturday. His wife came here in
an endeavor to find some trace of him.
She reported the matter to the police.
According to Mrs. Parker, her hus-
band intended to leave here Saturday
evening for home to spend Sunday
with his family, butup to the present
time, he has put in no appearance.
The last seen of him here was at sup

hotel where he has been boarding.
He is about 46 years of age and has
a family of six children. She said
family relations have always been
smooth and peaceful, likewise has
everything else always gone well with
him, and therefore she knows of no
reason for his mysterious disappear
ance. By other sources it is reported
that he has been subject to spells of

the suspicion that he may have done
