print. You merely wind up the part
of the film you have just used, there
by bringing a new copying surface
into position. This film is over 12
feet long, and every portion of it
can be used from II to fifteen times
over before it becomes so saturated
with ink that it will not produce any
more negatives
New films can be obtained at very
slight cost. Every film is good for a
bout 200 printings of from so to 100
copies each, when the printing surface
used is 13 inches long. Thus, if you
print one each business day, each film
will last you about nine months.
The Muir Duplicator produces from
so to 100 copies within 10 minutes
at cost of less than one cent for
the entire printing. Each copy as
clear and neat as the original. No
printing ink to make a muss and soil
your hands. Prints in from one to
five colors at the same time Copies

GRAND THEATRE
CAP PAC|TY TO BE
ENLARGED

H. H. Hoyt, proprietor of the
Grand Theatre, finds his patronage
is crowding the capacity of his pres
ent theatre building and he has de-
cided to make some changes that
will permit him to add one hundred
and twelve opera chairs. TIC do this
he intends to reverse the present
seating arrangement so that the ma
chine will be provided for outside of
the present stone structure at the
rear, eliminating all danger of explo-
sion of the machine on the inside.
The orchestra and curtain arrange
ment will be at the front of the build
ing. He will still continue to reG
tain the present exits.
These changes when fully complet-
ed will give him more room and bet
ter arrangement which he has every
reason to believe will be pleasing to
his patrons He also hopes that in
this manner he can make the build
ing more comfortable during the cold
weather.

MARSHFIELD FAIR
NOT So GOOD

About one hundred and fifty peo-
pie went to Marshfield on Friday
from Grand Rapids the last day of
the Fair which was called Grand Rap
ids Day. The attractions were re
ported on the whole not as good as
last year but fair. The races were
good and they were the most attrac-
tive feature. The interest in County
Fairs is growing less apparently every
year. 1t is a hard matter to keep the
interest and attendance up even
in State Fair, say nothing of Coun-
ty Fairs. There is such sameness
in both. The people are constantly
looking for things new and sensation
al. The display of products and hand
work is too tame. They want to see
flying machines fly, automobile races,
high diving by horses, and something
out Of the ordinary. Exhibitions Of
bravery and something of the reckles
and daredevil spirit, is what is
wanted. The attendance on Thurs
day was the banner day as to attend
ance.

NOMiN'S DAY At
1871 STATE FAIR
Elaborate Program Being Plan
ned and Woman Will Reign
Supreme.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 24.-Every
Wisconsin woman engaged or inter
ested in the advancement of every
phase of woman's work, should be in
terested in the fact that one day dur
ing the State Fair will be given over
entirely to the gentle sex to advance
their practical needs and theoretical
whims. The club woman, the fra
ternaI woman, the suffragist and the
sufragette, the factory and store
girl, the traveller and the woman of
the ffreside, will all be represented
by leaders among them.
A spirited contest is being waged
for leadership among the various or
ganizations and many prominent wo-
men Of Wisconsin have been suggest
ed to direct the exercises and carry
out the aims of the board.
Should the woman selected to man
age the days doings be able to or
ganize a program that will require
a seperate building or tent. the Boarc
OF Agriculture viii provide it.
It VIII be a great day. Man may
listen but he viii not be heard. He
viii Just be mere man on Woman s
Day.

This is the most reliable, cleanest
and cheapest duplicating process in ex

duplicating apparatus is obviated in
this. Each apparatus contains rolled
printing surface, which can be used
continually and over and over again
for taking duplicates. All ready for
constant use. This is the quickest,
neatest, most cleanly, most economi-

Machine.
Whenever you need no more than
so copies of typewriting or 100 cop

ARRESTED


0. L. Ramstack, a garage man
with a bad record, was arrested in
this city Thursday by a deputy from
Milwaukee who had a warrant for his
arrest for the abandonment of his
wife and child He moved here with
his family early in The summer and
rented Kreiger's machine shop. He
run in debt all over town and paid
no body. He spent his money in
righteous living and neglected and
starved his wife and child so that
they were obliged to return to her
relatives in Milwaukee. He remain
ed here and wasted his money on
fast women. We hope the Milwaukee
authorities will give him all that's
coming to him. Waupun is the place
for such worthless characters.

al of Senator Edward E. Browne of
Waupaca to listen to any overtures
that he become a candidate for the
circuit judgeship in the Seventh Ju-
dicial circuit brought out the fact
that Senator Browne is very likely
to be a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for congress in the
new Eighth Congressional district
and this district, which during the
closing legislative days was sup
posed to have been moulded for AS
semblyman Thomas Mahon may. by
reason of the candidacy of Mr.
Browne, become a fighting groun0
for a warm political battle in the
election.
A race between State Senator
Browne and Assemblyman Mahon in
the Eighth Congressional district
would be pretty political fight. and
it would be hard to make predfc-
tons on the result. Assemblyman
Mahon is probably the more agres-
sive of the two men and would like
y put up a harder fight in a campaign
On the other hand, Senator Edward
D. Browne has for years carried the
banner OF progressive RepubHcanism
n the counties of the Eighth district
and is Well known of them and any
nan who runs against Senator
Browne for the Republican nomina
ion will find he has a foeman worthy
u his steel and one who viii be hard
o defeat in the primary election. In
act, the quiet way which Senator
Browne has in itself attrtcts much sur
'ort to him and he has friends in e.
cry county of the district who will
.et out and make a hard fight for
i'm. Mr.. Mahon, however, already
tarted in his organization work, and
f Senator Browne really has serious
Intentions of running for congress in
he Eighth district he should set
lis campaign started at once.

1911 provides that all iron, steel or
concrete bridges with spans of more
than four feet built or repaired in
the state shall be designed to carry
without pIanking, all loads up to fif-
teen tons. All iron, steel or con
crete cuIverts of four feet span or
less, must be made safe for all loads
up TO eighteen tons.
The state aid law (Chapter 337,
Laws Of 1911) also contains provis-
ions designed to improve the grade
Of bridge work. This law provides
that the state shall contribute toward
the cost Of bridges built on state aid
roads. In order to obtain state aid,
these bridges must be designed by
the State Highway Commission. This
law also requires that the plans of
all bridges built under county aid shall
be approved by the Commission.
Another enactment (the amendment
Of Sec. 1919 Of the Statutes) puts
the cost OF bridges entitled to receive
county aid at such law figure
1920 in towns valued at $40O,000 or
more, and one-twentieth of one per
cent in towns valued at less than
$400,O00) that practically all bridges
built in the future will be entitled to
receive this aid.
By these enactments the LegisIa-
ture has imposed upon the Commits
sion the duty of inspecting the plans
Of practically every bridge built in
the state With this supervision
the grade Of bridges built must i'm
prove With a definite standard
of strength ample for all loads, fix
ed by law, the Commission will be
in a position to demand good work.
The old wooden bridges, which cause
most Of the accidents, are rapidly
becoming a thing Of the past. Replac
ed with structures of the strength de-
manded by the law. it should be only
a few years until bridge accidents,
now SO frequent, will be entirely un-
known.
