State EGir Attractions.

A tremendous attendance of Wis
consin people is expected at the
Wisconsin State Fair, to be held at
Milwaukee, opening Monday, Sep
tember 8 and closing Sept. I3. The
Wisconsin State Board of Agri-
culture has made unusual plans to
provide an aH4TOund exhibit for the
benefit of the people of the state,
and they are looking, for a larger
attendance from each county in
Wisconsin than ever before.
There will be new things to see
on every hand and wonderfully at
tractive special events, including
the famous Stecbel airship, which
made such a fine record at the state
fair year ago. 1.-The Destruction
of Moscow" ia fireworks, requires
233 people to perfect the scene.
Every, day will be banner day,
and one highly enjoyed by all who

MANY LICENSES ISSUED.
Hunting Season Began Sunday and
Hunters Are Many.

The hunting season opened Sun
day and County Clerk Tuff1ey has
already issued 108 licenses to those
who wished to get in the woods
early. Game is said to be abundant
in many localities and it is expected
that the season will be a good one
for squirrels and rabbits and hunters
are enthusiastic over the prospects
Of plenty of game.
Many inquiries are reacnir g the
Office of the state game warden re-
garding the open season for the
hunting of prairie chickens and
other upland birds. The last legisla-
ture considerably changed this Sec
ton of the game laws, cutting down
the NUM- Der of cOuntles in which
this class of game may be hunted
and changing the open season until
later in the year. This latter change
is not to the convenience of the
hunters SO much Gs for the advant-
cge OF the game, for it will allow
the young birds time to be reared
and will prevent destruction OF
whole coveys OF the game. The
Openseason for woodcock, partridge,
plover add snipe is the months of
September, October and November.
The killing of any Monaghan,
Chinese or English pheasant or
quail is prohibited by the law until
October list, 1855. The penalty for
violation of any feature of this law
Is g fine of twenty to fifty dollars or
Jail sentence of twentvto sixty days.

The Ladies of the st. Clements
congregation haYe taken charge of
the dining hall at the fair grounds,
and have voted the proceeds for the
benefit of the clock fund. Every
assistance offered, and patronage
extended to them from the generous
public will be highly appreciated.
Ali parties intending to have their
names on the donation list of the

to hear the clock announce the
hours before we write 1908.

Foreign Postage Lowered.

Beginning October /, the new
foreign postal rate adopted at the
meeting of the last universal postal
convention in Rome IN April, will
become effective. The new rate
makes the charge for foreign post
age 5 cents for the first half ounce
and 3 cents for each additional half
ounce instead of 10 cents for each
ounce, as the present rate pre-
scribes. This applies to all mail
sent to foreign countries, except
Canada, Mexico, and Cuba. To
these countries the domestic rate of
2 cents for each half ounce still
holds.

a Symphony on "Emptles"

The humble beer keg has at last
been vindicated. For years the
popular opinion regarding a beer
key, when it is empty, is that it is
only fit TO be launched on the river
and sent sailing toward Lake
Michigan aud the Gulf of ST.
Lawrence. Another view of the
use of an empty beer keg was that
it was only fit for use as chair.
For years the brewers have been
trying to create different impress
sion regarding these empty kegs.
While it was not argued that an
empty beer keg is as valuable as a
keg filed with beer, still the brewers
have sought TO impress on the public
that even an empty keg costs money,
But the public refused to listen.
Probably one reason was that by
the time the keg was emptied the
persons who bought it were not II
condition to listen TO arguments.
Yesterday, however, the brewers
landed" A Sheboygan man was
caught saving a beer keg up into
a pail, and he was arrested and
fined. This ought TO convince the
pubic that an empty beer key is an
empty keg-not q pail or q boat,
or q stool.

Use Wide Tires.

Farmers and teaEasters will find
that the new law passed relative to
wide tires On wagon is largely in
their favor.
The statute relates so the regGla-
ton of the width of tires on wagons
used for hauling loads exceeding
100e pounds in weight. It states
that every person, who, during the
year ending June 1, 1908, and each
succeeding year, shall use on wagons
hauling heavy loads a tire not less
than three inches in width, shall
receive rebate of one-half of his
assessed town, city OF village high
way tax for each year, providing
the rebate does not exceed So, in
case the tires are more than three
inches wide.
In order to secure this rebate, the
farmer must file an affidavit show
ing that he has complied with the
provisions of the act during the
year. The superintendent of the
highways for the road district in
which he is assessed then credits
HIM with the amount. The afidavits
can be made before any superin-
tendent of highways or any town,
city or village treasurer.

The Big Badger Fair.

The Big Badger FAIR held at
Platteville this week was a roaring
success. Perfect weather was en-
joyed by the fair association and on
Wednesday 200 more people attend
ed then ever before. On Thursday
a slight accident occurred when one
of the trottlng horses tipped his
bike and himself over backwards,
and then got up and ran around the
track three times. Neither horse,
driver, or bike were hurt.

Because of a new rule which
prohibits the placing of advertise
ments upon cars in which their
goods are shipped merchants and
manufacturers throughout the
northwest are raising a protest.
According to the advance notices
which have been sent out the new
rule will go into effect on Septem-
Der first. However some of the
roads-notably the Northwestern
are already enforcing it. The en-
forcing of the new provision will
hit the smaller concerns much hard
er than the big corporations which
either own their own cars or have
them on long leases.
