COnkey's
FLY KNOCKER
Guaranteed at
FREEMAN'S

Work on the new bridge at
Hudson is still being pushed
despite the fact that the clique of
Prison City wou1d-be boosters"
are doing all in their power to block
the enterprise. At this late hour
the Saltwater folks have come to
the conclusion that this bridge will
take away trade from that city, and
are trying to prove that the channel
piers are a menace to navigation.
According to the Hudson Star
Observer, Captain Blair, one of the
leaders in the anti-bridge move
ment, deliberately rammed his boat
into one of these piers to effect a
dramatic proof of his claim. 1t
happened that arObseryer man
had photographed Blair's boat
passing between the piers previously
and the picture. as published in the
Observer, shows that the boat has
sufficient clearance. That joke on
Blair appears to be about all the
Saltwater kick has amounted to so
far. But if they persist it may
result in a loss to the Saltwater
manufacturers of their trade with
Hudson retailers and those in
sympathy with the bridge
boosters.

Big Crowd Here Circus Day

There was a large gathering at
the local railway yards Tuesday
morning when the Gollmar Bros.
circus train pulled in from Cumber-
land at five o'clock, and the opera
ton of unloading the cars, trans
porting the paraphernalia to the
circus grounds and the erection of
the show tents, proved most inter-
esting procedure. Vehicles of all
kinds brought people to the city
from the country and the neighbor-
ing towns, and trade at the local
stores was brisk all during the day.
The circus itself was good, and
there were several features, such as
the lion and elephant performances,
which were of unusual interest.
One of the trapeze performers, a
Mrs. M. McLaine, fell from the
trapeze at the commencing of her
act in the afternoon, and was car
ried from the arena. She sustained
a deep scalp wound and several
body bruises but luckily escaped
without breaking any bones or re-
ceiving internal injuries.
AS usual the evening performance
was considerably shorter than the
afternoon show, and the train was
loaded and on its way to Osseo by
twelve-thirty.

Pierce County Political Equal
ity League Organized

Miss Alice Curtis, state organizer
for The Political Equality League,
gave very spirited and interesting
talk before the ladies of the Improve
ment League and the visiting I'm
provenent League, of Ellsworth, at
picnic gathering in Glen Park on
the afternoon of July 26.
Miss Curtis spoke earnestly and
enthusiastically in favor of the bal
lot for women in this state, and
urged the ladies present to enlist
their support of the measure by
organizing for a three months
campaign prior to the election of
November 4
Her remarks were listened to at
tentively and the majority present
signified their desire for equal suf-
frage, thus putting themselves in
line with those women of the coun-
try who are striving toward better
conditions affecting the homes and
communities in which they live.
After the address a few minutes
was taken to elect officers for a
league to be called the Pierce Coun-
ty Political Equality League. Miss
Curtis was chosen temporary chair
man and Mrs. Fred Bliss temper
ary secretary.
The following officers were elect
ed toaserve:s President, Mrs. Maria
Field, River Falls; Vice-President,
Mrs. Grin Lord, Ellsworth; Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Mrs. Geo.
Skogmo, River Falls; Chairman of
Organizing Committee, Mrs. j. S.
Wadsworth, River Falls; Chairman
of Finance Committee, Mrs. Geo.
Thompson, Ellsworth; Chairman of
Press Committee, Miss Lillian Cur
rier, River Falls; Chairman of Liter
allure Committee, Mrs. d. w. Wood
worth, Ellsworth.
Earlier in the day Miss Curtis
spoke to the members of the sum
mer school on equal suffrage. The
students seemed much interested
and at the close of her remarks the
President of the summer school
gave the young ladies an opportun-
ity to show whether they wish to be
enfranchised. Fully ninety per
cent of them rose to signify that
they do. One of Miss Curtis
statements was that though all
women are not asking for the bal
lot, yet at no time when man suf-
frage has been extended has it been
demanded by so large proportion
of the class to be enfranchised as
of the women now. ~

We have had numerous requests
this week to make a scathing
protest against allowing
repetition of ANY such exhibition
of rowdyism" as was witnessed
during the Omaha shop picnic
here Saturday, intimating that the
entire blame is to be placed with
the picnickers, and that these
picnics should stopped from coming
here. 1t is true that there was
great deal of drunken rowdyism
down town Saturday, but from
interviews with police and others
who were in the best position to judge
we have come to the conclusion
that the picnic people were not
concerned in these disturbances at
all; that the offenders were visitors
who had no connection with the
Omaha shops and came here not
for the picnic, but to spend the
day in one grand souse. 1t was no
more the fault of the picnic people
that these rowdys came than it was
of the townspeople, or any one else.
We are very sorry to note that this
affair was chalked up against the
the shop people, as from our
observations at the Park, and also
the testimony of the Park and City
officials, the picnickers were as
orderly and self-respecting as any
gathering of like nature ever held
there.

Sea Grit, n. j., July 20.--William F
McCombs, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, met Norman
F.. Mack, the retiring chairman, in New
York yesterday afternoon, to discuss the
affairs of the committee and probably
effect a transfer of the committees files
and documents to the new officers. Mr..
McCombs will probably be accompanied
| by Joseph E. Davies, secretary of the
committee Messrs. McCombs and Da-
vies were present yesterday at meet
| ing of nine members of the campaign
committee appointed Thursday night by
Governor Wilson. The only absentee
among the ten men with whom the gov.
ernor conferred before announcing the
appointment of the committee was Will
liam G. McAdoo. The meeting was held
at a hotel in Spring Lake, which adioins
Sea Grit, and was for the purpose of
considering further campaign organiza-
tion.. "We will probably continue meet
ing through Monday Mr.. McCombs said.
There will hardly be a statement to-
day or any announcement of the progress
we will have made. To-day's meeting
will be brief"
Governor Wilson did not attend the
meeting. Topics which were scheduled
for discussion were the appointment OF
advisory, finance and publicity commit
tees and the location OF headquarters
in New York and Chicago. One of the
matters which Mr.. McCombs hopes to
take up in New York is the location OF
the eastern headquarters. This, he
thought, would not be far from Broad
way and Forty-Second street. After Sc
Letting the New York headquarters, Mr..
McCombs plans to go to Chicago with
Mr.. Davies and make arrangements for
the opening of headquarters there. No
definite decision had been reached yes
terlay afternoon concerning the location
OF the western office, but it was be-
lieved that Denver or San Francisco will
be chosen.
The appointment of yice-ehairman
probably will be made before the cam
paign committee adjourns Monday,

PRICE OF CLOTHES
WILL GO HIGHER
Wholesalers Boost the Cost of Cloth
for tie Spring Season of
1918.

New York, July e9.-The price of
clothes is going to be advanced next year.
This increased tax on the already high
cost of living is clearly indicated, mer-
chants say to-day, by the prices named
by leading producers of cloth, who have
lifted the prices for the spring 1918 sea-
son from Tee to 20c yard above those
which prevailed last year when the val.
ues for the past spring season were an
nounced.
How much the merchant tailor or the
retail clothier will charge the consumer
cannot be stated accurately, because
there is every likelihood that the quota
tions will be further advanced.
Prices are higher. agents say because
OF conditions over which the manufac
turers have no control They say that
the domestic wool clip this year is about
20000,000 pounds smaller than a year
ago. The price of wool has also gone
mp abroad, while mill owners say that
the high scale of wages and the shorter
working hours will also have their eff
feet.
The price OF shoes is also going ny,
according TO dealers, and the 90 per cent.
advance may be laid directly to the gas
oline gig"
The cost Of leather has been increased
