Hay Crop Light

Farmers have started cutting
their hay crop and the indicat-
ions are that the crop will be less
than half of what it would have
been had the weather been favor
able. The long drouth has been
a hard one on the hay fields and
the indications are that there
will be big shortage. Not only
has this region been affected but
hay lands in all northern Wis.
consin and Minnesota has also
been burned up. In some places
farmers are plowing up their
hay field and planting corn for
fodder.

COWS TO BE TESTED
Council Passes Ordinance
Making 1t Necessary
Milk Dealers Given Twenty
Days in Which to Have
Cows Tested.

At the regular meeting of the
common council held on Tues
day evening an ordinance was
passed making it necessary for
all milk dealers in the city to
have their COWS tested for tu-
berculosis before they can dis
pose of any of their milk. The
ordinance was introduced by
Alderman Olaf Olson some time
ago and he has fought for it's
passage on the grounds that it
would be a great benefit to pub
lie health to have such an ordin-
ance in force. Hereafter those
dealing in milk are to be licensed
and only those havins such a
license will be allowed to sell
milk. $1.OOis to be charged for
license where milk is delivered
from vehicles and 25c where 1t
is delivered by carrier. Twenty
days will be given for milk deal
ers to have their COWS tested and
procure a licence:
The ordinance licensing motion
picture shows, pool and billiard
halls and bowling alleys Was also
passed at this meeting. The
motion picture shows are to be
charged $4,000 per annum, the
amount to be payable quarterly.
Pool and billiard halls are to be
charged $40 for each table and
bowling alleys So for each all ley.
The vote on this ordinance was a
tie and the Mayor cast the de-
Gliding vote.

THE LAUGH CURE
New Theory Advanced by
Scientists

In this day of new discoveries
and inventions it is small wonder
that someone has found a good
hearty laugh the cure for at leas t
the more common ills of the
human family; and is spreading
the glad tidings all over the
world. A goodly number of
these new fads are sent US from
foreign countries as we'll as the
means of putting them into effect.
So it is with the twelve funny
clowns that perform twice daily
with the Great Dode Fisk Sho VS.
which will exhibit at Washburn
Sat. July %.
These twelve funny fellows are
the pick and cream of the testers,
pantominists and clowns of Eng
land, Germany and France and
were brought to this country
this season especially to fill this
engagement.
Their only business is to make
the public laugh whether they
wish it or not and they surely
succeed in their effort along
these lines.
There are two great feature
clown numbers during the per-
formance. One is the 'crazy
clown" in which all the clowns
take part and during the per-
formance of which pandemonium
breaks loose; while another
feature is an elaborate scenic
number entitled "Cook's g Return
from the North Pole" To say
that this,is a scream is putin G
it mildly-it is more-it is one
continual roar of laughter from
start to finish. "The laugh
cure' as prescribed by the
clowns of the Great Dode Fisk
Shows is guaranteed to cure the
public at large and individuals
H
in particular of dependency and
blues for the next year to come.
