when he assembled into heaven in a

An exhibit of Marathon county
produce is being shown this week at
the state fair in Milwaukee. The
selection was made from the exhibits
shown at the county fair. Marathon
county showed exhibits at the state
fair for several years and won first
money SO often that it got to be tire
some. For several years no county
exhibit has been taken to Milwaukee
only few of our poverty-stricken
lumbermen have shown cattle there.
The exhibit may also be taken to the
Illinois state fair.

ling most people in the Wisconsin
valley: A scientist has figured that
if an express train had started from
the earth for the planet Neptune at
the birth of Christ had travelled sixty
miles an hour day and night ever

there. Now if that is a fact, the
question arises how long would it
take one of the st. Paul company's
Wisconsin valley late-eyery-day trains
to reach the place Cook and Peary
| are Scrapping over.
