IT has been a custom for thirty
years past to give a grand Christ
mas dance in the largest hall avail
able in Milford, under the auspicies
of the young gentlemen of Milford.
We have heard whispers recently,
that the custom would be broken
this season, but surely this can not
be so. The elderly men and wo-
men of Milford have always assisted
in giving these dances, and they
expect to contribute towards them
in the future; they are part of the
town pride, and it shows lack Of
energy, or a deterioration of the
young people who are growing into
manhood at the present day. Is
there not one young man with sufh-
cient energy to arrange for the an
nual Christmas dance in Milford T?
It is a duty they owe to themselves,
as well as to the town to carry out
this custom. The writer is beyond
his dancing days, but we always
enjoy the pleasure of the annual
town dances. We hereby pledge
five dollar subscription to this af-
fair, and will aid in any other way
possible to make it a greater sue
cess than ever before. We believe
that we can go still further, and
pledge twenty subscriptions from
the "old boys" of Milford for this
Christmas dance. Young men, /
you surely will not have it said of
you in 1909, that you had not enter
prise sufficient to get up the annual /
Christmas dance for your ladies,
and for the holiday visitors. The
old folks will do their part, but
you must do the actual work; if
you will not, then let the young
ladies put the young men to shame,
and get the dance up any way; and
some Of us old fellows will remem-
Der other days, and get down to
active work with them. Give the
Christmas dance sure.

Madison, June 8.
One Of the topics o. legislation that
has created unusual interest during
the present session of the legislature
is that of amendments to the yeter-
mary law enacted during the SEES
sion Of 1907. Two years ago what is
commonly known as the veterinary
board Law was passed in the last days
OF the session and by its terms a con-
siderable number of old veterinarians
many of whom were experienced and
capable, we're practic" legislated
out OF business b. required to
submit to a techniea, veterinary ex-
animation by a board of examiners

arose among farmers and stockraisers
in various parts of the state, inasmuch
as in numerous instances stockowners
were virtually foreclosed from hirin@

farmers was 30 determined as to de-

erat, receiving about one thousand
republican votes and a majority of 4S6
votes over his republican opponent,
the author of the act o! 1907.
At the opening of the session AR.
