At THE THEATRE

The play, A Messenger Boy, at
Days Theatre, Saturday and Sunday
evenings attracted a fair sized audi
ence. The play Is better than the
price of admission would lead one to
believe. Marjorie Sweet is a cleV-
er versatile actress and her portrait
Of the character of the messenger boy
left nothing to be desired Popular
priced plays will be given every Sun
day evening during the season
Both the picture playhouses were
crowded to capacity Sunday even
ing. The Wild Rose of the wilds at
the Ideal was the feature picture and
the program all thru was good and
pleased the large number of people
who attended the performances.
At the Grand, the feature picture
was, What The Tide Told, an intense
ly interesting drama verging on to
tragedy. The Grand was crowded at
every performance and everyone who
attended the performances went away
highly pleased.

trees are so loaded that the limbs
have to be propped up to keep them
from breaking and the apples are
large, too.
It must be the farmers around here
contemplate keeping more cows in
the near future as silos are spring
ing up almost like magic and quite
a number are already being filled.
Clifton Palmer is doing the work of
filling them.
Quite a number of the farmers
are having their hay bailed and ship
ped to the southern part of the state.
Quite change from last year when
most of the hay that was fed here
was shipped to us from there.
The front of Ed Essers new house
has recently been adorned with a

the appearance of the house.
Mrs. James Moon took advantage
of her husband the other day during

Smith has lived here for years and

We are all glad to see the pleas
ant face of Miss Elsie BIeck back
at her post behind the counter of the
Academy store. Her obliging man
ners have won her the respect OF
old and young alike.
From the appearance of the loads
of new iron bed steads and mattres-
ses that are being unloaded at the
boys dormitory, they will have more
comfortable beds after this and they
will certainly add much to the appear
ance of the rooms.
Elder H. R. Johnson visited this

Mrs. Christensen received very
pleasant surprise visit from her
brother the other day.
Mrs. H E. Eighme received two
boxes of peaches from her mother

they certainly must raise something

before.

pletion, which will add much to his
already trim and neat looking home.

THE WISCONSIN FEDER-
ALTON OF CIVIC CLUBS

The attention of citizens of the state
is called to the fact that there has
been organized by a dozen or more
civic clubs, the Wisconsin Federation
of Civic Clubs which aims to extend
thruout the length and breadth of the
commonwealth the civic club move
ment already SO strong in Milwau-
kee and in several other cities. There
is no city, no village, no rural commu
nifty that would not derive a great
deal of benefit by organizing asso-
for the discussion of the community
needs and vital questions of the
day.
The Constitution of the Federation
States:
of local, municipal, state or national
questions, the awakening of civic con
seriousness and the making of intel
ligent public opinion. 1t shall be
non-partisan and non-sectarian. Each
club applying for membership shall
be non-partisan and maintain free
and open forum for the discussion of
local, municipal, state or national
questions
During the coming decade, Wiscon-
sin seems destined to lead in the
discussion of social economic and
political questions. 1t is important
that these questions be taken up
singly and subjected to analysis and
discussion by the ablest men and by
thousands of citizens enrolled in civ
ic clubs. 5000 men in 100 clubs thru
out the State will be a potent influ-
ence in making intelligent public O.
PM on each important public ques-
ton.
Advantages of the State Federation
To the Local Club.
This State Federation will be of
direct aid to local clubs 1t will ask
the public men Of the State when and
where they can address civic clubs.
Very often, owing to their business
or professional visits to different cit
les, the local club can secure a. valu-
able address at little or no cost. The
State Federation will furnish list
of speakers and their subjects, lists
of local, state and national questions,
material for discussions, and success
full features in the organization and
management of local clubs. 1t will
aid in organizing new civic clubs.
The Wisconsin Federation of Civic
Clubs will hold an Annual State Con,
vention in the spring of 1912. A club
with 25 members or less will be en-
titld to cone delegate; those having
from % to 100 members, two delegate
clubs having more than 100 members,
three delegates. At the first Annual
Convention, there ought to be $50
delegates representing 100 clubs with
a total membership of 5000. Such a
representation and membership would
command the best talent and thru is
addresses and discussions would ex-
ert a wide Influence on public af
fairs.
The officers desire to place before
the people of the State the purposes

MAKE A STORE
EARN YOUR FAv0RS

A store should earn your patron
age before 1t receives it. 1t can't
do this unless it's advertising is ag
gressive, adequate, continuous-fo
store ads give you store news, and
keep you in touch with store events.
They keep you informed of what the
store is doing for YOU; what it is
able to offer you, of bargains or ser
vice or of novelty. The stores ads
give you an equal chance to secure
bargains with the shopper whose time
permits and whose inclination lead
to daily shopping trips.
The store whose ads do not do this
is not earning" your patronage.
