OLD PEOPLE
Made Strong nv yinoI.

A prominent Boston lawyer says
My father is eighty years Of age and
he owes his present strength and
good health 10 Vinol.
During the last two trying winters
he never had cold, and was able
to walk farther and do moro than for
years.
Il think Vinol is perfectly wonder
ful. II certainly is the greatest blood
making and Strengthening tonic for
old people I ever heard Of"
We wish every feeble old person in
this vicinity would try vinol on our
agreement to return their money n
II fails TO give satisfaction. N. p.

SETTLEMENT
MADE FOR $500

The canvas men, clowns and an
electrician belonging to the Indian
Pete Wild West Show, which showed
here last week in connection with the
Coulter outfit, attached the wagons
and other paraphernalia belonging to
the show for wages due them. Men
with all the way from $40 to $65 and
total amount of $3.50 coming to
them, got out a writ of attachment
and finally settled for $500. The
collection was made by Wheelan &,
Calkins.
The show started from Lemon, So.
Dakota on June End and because of
trouble caused by man named Boyd
who was managing, got in bad in a
financial way. It is said that one
scanty meal day is about all that
the company got. In Minneapolis the
men caught fish so that some food
could be had. When the show first
came here, the men started to beg
on the streets but this was soon
stopped by the chief of police; and
since that time no trouble of any
kind has occurred and the men
remained quiet waiting for a perform
ance to be given so that they could
attach with some show of getting
their money. Five of the men Sc
| cured work as section men on one of
| the railroads. Be it said to the cred
it of Indian Pete himself that both
he and his family Jared just the
same as the rest of the outfit.

BABY SHOW DE-
L|CHTFUL AFFAIR

Amusement Hall has been the
scene Of a good many interesting and
delightful gatherings and entertain
ments, but we believe the one which
took place within its walls on Thurs
day afternoon, July 9th, from 300 tt
500 o'clock, was not only interest
ing and delightful but was unique ant
distinctive in that, at this particular
time between fifty and sixty babies
We're the attraction. The hall had
been made cozy and homelike with
the aid of rugs, tables and cut flow
ers. Frappe was served during the
afternoon.
During these two hours, several
hundred people came and paid hom-
age to the generation who, twenty
five or thirty years hence will share
or rule in the activities of our city,
politically, commercially and socially.
All the babies were on their best
behavior, which every one thought
quite remarkable, considering the
confusion and more or less excite,
ment usually attendant upon large ga
therings.
Physical and intellectual beauty, win
ming ways, etc, were not taken into
consideration in the awarding of the
prizes. Had this been the case, we
would have considered it a monstrous
task set before the judges. The
prizes, four in number, were award.
ed those babies for whom the largest
number of tickets were sold, each
ticket counting as a vote. T he four
babies for whom the most tickets wer
sold received as q souvenir of this oc
casion beautiful sterling silver spoon
The gifts were all alike and were pre-
sented to the following babies: June
Elizabeth Linderman, Victor Young,
Donald Herschleb and Leanna Good
rich
The ladies, who had the planning
and management in charge are to be
complimented upon the excellent and
impartial way the affair was carried
out. About ninety dollars were real
lzed We congratulate them upon
their success.

They will make report on conditions

pressio~s rra~d the new asylum far
over-roached their most sanguine ex-
pectations. Each in turn expressed
the opinion that the buildings and
equipment was the most complete
and modern of any institution Of a
like kind n the state. Coming from
so high a scource the approval OF
the work reflects much credit upon
the building committee composed Of
Mayor Connor, Geo. Ward and J. S.
Thompson who have diligently su-
perTised and looked after every detail
To have the State Board of Control
say that Wood County has one of
the most modern and conservative
ly built asylums in the state should
be evidence to the tax payers of the
county that their money has been
well spent Although the surround
ings are yet in a chaotic state,
Supt. Gibson, who is proving an ex-
cellent choice for the work before
him, hopes in due course of time to
make the place as home-like and as
pleasant as possible for the unfort-
unates who will soon begin arriving
at his wards-Marshfield Herald.

SLOGAN
Frank w. Calkins Wins SLOGAN
Prize.

Out To Win" is the slogan Sc
lected by the committee of the Com
mrecial Club Frank w. Calkins is
the man who wrote the winning slo-
gan and a check for $500 has been
handed him. There were 119 slogans
handed in altogether and it took the
committee quite little time to go
through them and sift them down to
one. The slogans were taken to the
office Of the Industrial Agent, Tues
day morning Immediately after the
first delivery of mail was received
at this office. A committee of three
composed Of T. A. Taylor, w. F.
Kellogg and Guy Nash was appointed
These gentlemen met with Mr.. Dur
ga in the afternoon. In order that
there should not be any criticism or
talk OF favoritism shown by the COM
mittee, Mr.. Durga cut the names off
OF the slogans and gave each part a
number; the slogans were then turn
ed over to the committee and Mr..
Durga kept the papers with the name
on. After carefully going through
the 119 slogans and giving each at
tention, the committee announced
that number A was the one select
ed. Mr.. Durga looked up number "A
and it proved to be the one submitted
by Mr.. Calkins.
"Out To Win is a good slogan
and typifies the spirit that is be-
ing shown. To get real value out of
the slogan, it should be placed on all
letterheads and constantly used by
all citizens. If this is done, it
won't be long before "Out To VIM
will be associated with Grand Rap
ids, WISCONSIN, and the entire coun
try will know that we are "Out To
Win" Let every one boost and help
make good on the slogan

GUERNSEY WINS IN DAIRY
cow COMPETITION

A Guernsey COW, Yeksarose, won
the prize for the highest yield of
milk and butter fat for June in the
Wisconsin Dairy Cow Competition
conducted by the College of Agricul.
ture Of the University of Wisconsin
She gave 1851 pounds milk during
the month, 69.S pounds fat and 1877
pounds solids. The average. of all
the 1874 COWS that were in the test
during the month is 9039 pounds
milk and 36.1 pounds butter fat
The milk gave an average test of
per cent. There were 40 cows in
the 50-pound class with an average
production of 41S pounds butter fat
each.
The dairy COW competition is near
ing a close. 1t will end October 81
when the yearly records made by
COWS in the competition, over 400 in
all, will be considered and the prizes
awarded. 1t is a credit to Wisconsin
dairying to say that from 20 to so per
cent of all the COWS entered in the
competition have produced over so
pounds butter fat each month. The
maximum production in any one
month has never gone below 63
pounds butter fat.
Yeksarose, the winner for June, is
one of the COWS in the HOlanda1a herd
at Athens where Yeksa Sunbeam siA
years ago made the highest record
for yearly production for a Guernsey
COW, 857.15 pounds butter fat. Yek-
sarose has held for many years the
record for yearly production for but
ter fat by Guernsey two and
half to three years old. Her record
is 63849 pounds.
