Price, would not be in existence today but for the support of the noble women who make up the Relief corps throughout the country. A pleasing piano duet was given by Mrs. Brewster and Mrs. Hiscox. Interesting remarks were heard from Department Com mander A. o. Fairbanks of the Sons of Veterans, Chaplain Solon A. Moxley and Dr. D. J. Shahan of the Citizens corps. The programme was concluded with the singing of America by the whole assembly. Refreshments of sandwiches, cake, doughnuts and cof- fee were served by the committee in charge, assisted by members of the Sons of Veterans. Several tables of whist were played and during the play ing piano selections were given. A de- lightful social time was enjoyed.

BANCROFT NOT A CANDIDATE
Attorney General, in Statement, SAYS

II. Bancroft will not be a candidate

candidate for any office this fall. An
nouncement to that effect has been
made by Mr.. Bancroft.
My determination not to become
a candidate" said Mr.. Bancroft, lis
based solely on present political con-
ditions'
He admitted that denomination
would be gratifying, feeling that his
administration had merited the ap-
probation of the people, Upward of
$2,OOO,000 in inheritance taxes had
been collected by the attorney gen
erals Office i'll the last two years, he
pointed out, and if there existed
dominant party in Wisconsin worthy
Of the name, he said, he would have
been renominated without opposition,
but now the Office was wanted for
lone of the elect"
"If there were no other considera-
tons to deter me from entering such
contest" he said, my self-respect
and my own political convictions
would be sufficient. | am a repub-
lican and as such | could not sub
scribe to the platform of reputation,
hypocrisy and demagogy which will
be framed by the progressive social
lists at the coming so-calIed repub-
lican platform convention of 1912.
| could not accept nomination upon
such a platform without stultifying
my own intelligence and betraying
every sense of honor and allegiance
as republican and surrendering ev-
cry sense of patriotism and loyalty
as an American citizen in honor
bound to uphold the institutions of
the country, the integrity of the
courts and the departments of con-
stitutional government"
The successful politician of today.
Mr.. Bancroft said, is not the man
who attempts to give good service to
the public, 'but the fellow who uses
his office as means of furthering
his own political ambitions. ] make
no pretentions to membership in
this class" he said, land shall cheer
fully resign my place to that persis-
tent and perspiring patriot who. in
the political marathon, can beat the
others to it

Rape makes good crop for late

Poultry is extremely profitable If
properly handled.
Poultry, fruit and bees form a com

Fowls have no sense of smell. They
have nostrils, but not noses.
A cement floor in the laying pen

Don't let lice "get away with your
chicks, while you wonder what ails
them.
Keep the males separated from the
growing pullets. Both will develop
better.
Ducklings generally begin noting
when eleven weeks old and continue
for about six weeks.
Don't forget that wet and leaky
coops do not tend to produce healthy
chickens, but early death.
1t is a good plan to let all the
breeding stock out of the yards to en-
Joy free range during the summer.
Don't try to breed from poor STOCK.
It takes too long and good stock Is
cheap enough for you to start right.
Free range for the flock greatly sim

the fowls can balance their ration tn

NOVELIST OF THE FAR NORTH
Eskimo Woman Who Writes Books
Discovered by Party of Amer
lean Scientists.

The first Eskimo novelist has been
discovered by party of American
scientists who spent last summer in
Labrador. She lives at Cape Chud
leigh, her name is Ningink and she
is IS years Cld-a mature age among
her people. AS the Eskimo Ian
guage contains only 200 words the
young authoress must sometimes have
trouble to express her thoughts with
the limited vocabulary at her com
mand, but she reads and writes as
fuently az any American girl Of the
same age. At first she wrote on skins
with sharpened bones dipped in the
blood of q fish or a seal, but a mis-
sionary gave her a bundle Of pencils
and a bale of brown paper, and Min
gink's igloo is now piled at one end
with many rolls OF MSS. neatly tied
with strips Of sealskin. Her house is
not made of skins or snow blocks, like
most of the surrounding Eskimo habi-
tations, but is constructed of hun
dreds Of bones of seals and large fishes
and is considered a palace by the vii
layers, who regard her with great re-
spect and admiration. Her fiance is
the tallest man at the Cape, being five
and one-half feet, a remarkable height
for an Eskimo. He is an artist, and
carves bracelets, rings, necklaces and
figures of men and animals from bone
and ivory with much skill and deli
cacy.
Ningink's stories relate mostly to
the seal, the fish, the white bear and
to adventures of the chase. Her most
ambitious effort tells how the sun took
pity on another world that had lost
its sun and now divides his light be-
tween the earth and the dark world
shining half year on each. This tale
contains nearly 3,00G words and is a
great favorite with the village people,
who love to gather In Ningink's igloo
and listen to her books" which she
reads in a high singsong voice.
Whenever she writes new story she
invites all her friends to come and
hear it, and the occasion is made one
OF great feasting and rejoicing

Ballooning Maqnifies the Sound.

George M. Myers, president of the
Priests of Pallas festival, is also pres
ident of the Kansas City Aero club.
The clubs pilot has taken him bal
looming three times. The first trip
Myers learned smoking is taboo in
gas bags, the second time he acquired
a painful sQnburn and on the third
flight he discovered thath one must
not always believe what he hears.
Listen to that COW believing" he
remarked to his companion, at an al
titude Of thousand feet.
His companion tried, but failed to
hear anything that resembled such a
sound.
There she goes again." Myers per-
sisted.

CAUGHT ON BRIDGE
TWO LEAP AND SINK
Young People Prefer Drowning
to Being Struck by Train.
TRAGEDY is AT MIk0COUA
Milwaukee Man Dies in Vain Attempt
to Save Lite of Giri-Three Other
Young Women, Who Also Jumped,
Are Rescued from Lake.

MISUNDERSTANDING death by
drowning rather than being struck
by a train, Genevieve Walters of
Rhinelander and Frank Meyers, a
machinist Of Milwaukee, jumped off
railroad bridge into Minocqua lake
and were drowned.
With three other young people they
started to walk across the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St Paul bridge, when
they saw the train bearing down
upon them.
The five young people started to
run, but when they were within fifty
yards of the end Of the bridge they
realized that they could not reach
safety. 1t was single track bridge
and the only avenue of escape was
to jump into the lake.
With the train but a few yards
away, the five leaped into the lake
Miss Walters could not swim She
screamed for help and Meyers went
TO her aid. He placed an arm about
her and started for shore, but the
young woman grasped him about the
neck. Meyers, unable to shake him
self free, sank with the girl
The two bodies were recovered soon
after the accident. Efforts TO res
uscitate them were Ruthless The
other three girls were picked up near
shore
