not consider 1t beneath their dignity
to visit and address the American
Federation of Labor.

upon congress in the event of an lin
dustrial crisis" following the financial
panic" to find ways and means to
ameliorate and mitigate the crisis by
issuing money without interest to
states, counties and cities for the pur-
pose of building highways, schools,
bridges and public utilities, provided,
however, that such work be done at
union wages, under the eight-hour
day." the money proposed to be loaned
to be returned in easy instruments.
Other resolutions introduced Thurs
day were as follows: Calling on all
members of organized labor to abso-
lutely hold aloof from all military or
CARNATIONS until the United States
provides a military system such as
that of Switzerland; providing for n
woman organizer of the Woman Wage
Workers of the United States; endors-
ing the Spright bill in congress for
the relief of seamen in foreign-going
vessels; urging congress to act favor
ably on any legislation bearing on
the increase of pay of postoffice
CLERKS; levying a general assessment
of one cent a month for the aid of
the labor unions in Los Angeles; call
ing for a minimum of 50 a week for

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMoR.
pithy Remarks from One Of the Fore
most Jokesmlths.

With the truly artistic tempera
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion Of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning laurel
wreath to cover his isnominy with.
When you enter shop state just
what you want. For then the mer'
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce Is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want willSsell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.

No Nature Fake,

The alleged case of a bird making

fork and toast in a brave effort to
keep from being dragged to its doom.

WATFRMELONS
BY CAR LOAD
Johnson and Hill Have The Re-
cord for One Season.

Think of eating four car loads of
watermeIOnS in one summer. 1t was
done last season. They weren't all
eaten by one man. Four car loads of
melons would be apt to spoil mans
appetite for fruit. even if il took him
all summer TO eat them. Just look
at that pileOf melons in front of John
son & Hills store. They make the
eyes of the average boy sparkle with
pleasure and they are somewhat temp
ting to the old boys. Georgia was
once headquarters for the water
melon but Wisconsin is gaining on
her southern sister every day. Dc
you know what it is to sit in the
cool shade on a hot day and surround
one of these red c0red melons? There
is no brain fag in task Of this kind

the wit, there is no reaction, no head
ache. It is as near as you will ever
get to pure food, for it is pure as sun.

air Is it a wonder that the boys
look at them through longing eyes:
II gives some idea of the magnitude
of the fruit business done in general
and the business done by Johnson s.
Hill Co in particular.
AT first glance the stranger would
not be impressed by the business place
Of this firm. There is nothing out of
the ordinary in viewing their grocery

CONNECTED WITH
LIVE WIRE

Dr.. C. A. Boorman, while returning
from a visit to patient Thursday
about four o'clock, came very near
meeting death with live wire which
fell during the thunder storm, and
was laying across Baker street in
front of the court house.
The Doctor was coming down the
hill on his bicycle, and as it was dark
did not see his danger until his wheel
connected with the wire. The shock
threw him from his wheel He fell
far enough away from the wire to be
out of danger, but the wheel falling
on the wire was badly burned and
damaged.
The accident taken all in all was a
fortunate one for the west side ply
sician, for had he fallen an inch
further one way, his life would have
probably payed the penalty.

THINK WELL
OF THE SCHEME
Wisconsin River Valley League
Would be Good Thing.

A short time ago the REPORTER
gave IN account of the undertake that
has been carried on for some time re-
garding the establishment Of a Wis
cousin River Valley base ball league
In the article in question it was sta
ted tnat the cities of Tomabawk,
Rhinelander, Merrill, Wausau,
Grand Rapids. Marshfeld, and
Portage might be included in this
league and the cost Of maintainance
would be small compared to the ira
Yelling expense Of other leagues.
It is well known Ey all men interes-
ted in base ball that one of the large
items Of expense iB league is the
travelling expense Of the teams. In
such a league as proposed by The REP
OBTER this item would be small com
paratiyeiy speaking.
III addition To this il is the belief
Of d large number, that the cities
mentioned could get together base
ball team that would be credit to the
city, without going to large salary eX-
penses. In fact tnere should be a
salary limit, and the object of develop
ing the local talent should be upper
most. WITH teams composed mostly
ofIocal talent, there would be greater
interest, and there is no doubt about
the interest THAI would be taken in
such q combination.
All along The Wisconsin river, tais
proposition OF the REPoRTER has been
meeting with newspaper comment
not 1T all discouraging. Most of the
newspapers realized the advertising
value such a league would be for
the valley, and there is no doubt but
what such a combination of clubs
could be formed with advantage to
the cities mention ed.

WINS GAME AND SERIES
Local Lads Bring Home The
Scalp and CHAMPIONSHIPS.

Fully 2,I00 people witnessed the
game between Stevens Point and
Grand Rapids Sunday, and while
the home team scored first, the Grand
Rapids aggregation beat them out
three to one at the finish, and won
the championship series. The Stevens
Point team did not observe the un-
written agreement to preserve the
same lineup, and rung in three or
four new and strong players, but even
this did not prevent the local lads
from walking away with them in a
game filed with errors on both sides.
Stevens point scored Flanagan in
the fourth on an error of Capt. Ander-
sons. Instead of discouraging The
Rapids however, the one run secured
by the Stevens Point team seemed to
stimulate them. Dulin was first up
and drew first on an error. Webster
then hit the sphere for two sacks, ad-
yanCing Dulin to third. Anderson,
with none down, bunted, beat it out,
and scored Dulin. Then Webster
scored on Ernst's hit, putting Grand
Rapids one to the good. The fifth
inning passed without a score, but
Weckler crossed the plate safe in the
sixth, thus making the score three to
one in favor of Grand Rapids. Prac-
tically this is the story of the win
ming game of the series.
Norton umpired fair and clean
game, and the day was thoroughly en-.
ioyed by all who participated.
