of tomorrow. Let us show them the
rising generation which is following in
their footsteps is fully competent to
succeed them and shoulder the re-

The ladies of Sacred Heart Catholic
church in Nekoosa have taken the
initiative for the establishment of a
fund for the erection of a parochial
school. They will give a big fair in
the near future, and the money
earned will be applied for this purpose.
There are one hundred and eighty
families in Sacred Heart parish.
A meeting of all the business
and professional men of the village
of Nekoosa was held in the office
of Atty. III. E. Fitch Friday night,
to make arrangements for the coming
Farmers institute. An excellent
program is being prepared for the
entertainment of the visiting farmers
and for the making of the institute a
time for pleasure as well as profit.
Eggs are holding up the price pretty
well and would be higher if the farm
erS would be more careful in sorting
their eggs. When the dealer ships his
eggs to The city he known that each
egg will be ~''candled" and all bad ones
thrown out. This loss together with
those he culls out before shipping cuts
down his margin of profit many times
so low that it would take "a powerful
glass to discover it. We believe if only
fresh eggs were marketed that the
price of hen fruit would materially
rise.
According to late advices concern
ing the recent fire in the Wisconsin
River and Pulp company's mill at
Whiting, lei Stevens Point, the loss
is not nearly as great as was antici-
pated. Officers of the company de-
clare that it is altogether probable
that the mill will be in operation
again within a period of about thirty
days. AS 500 as the fire loss is ad-
justed work will be begun at repairing
the damage done and there seems to
be little questions but that only about
a months time will be lost.-Apple-
