Charming, fascinating Miss Blanche Bates-"Nobody's Widow"
 Why she could be anybody's widow she chose to be!
 Anybody would be glad enough to die for her!
 All she has to do is to say the word and
 But the feelings of an "Interviewer have no place in an interview" even when it is with a popular actress who is taking a joyous delight in playing q comedy role.
 Enthusiasm for the 'Interview-ed, T should be expressed subtlely through quotations from her admirers, either rea or imaginary, through what she is made to say about what other people say about her, or by carefully worded descriptions of her eyes. her hair, her figure, or her gowns.
 So-
 When I asked Miss Bates yesterday afternoon short time after she had stepped off the tSin if she would chat with me for few moments, she prompt ly asked:
 "What about?p
 And I as promptly replied
 "Widows-about widows, of course since you are playing one these days"
 At which her big, expressive eyes light ed up with the humor that radiates iron everything she does and says-either as Miss Blanche Bates herself or MT. Avery Hopwoods clever Widow Heroine. Rox-
 
 ! why, I'd rather talk about widows than anything else in the world said Miss Bates cordially. "I'll say anything you want me to say.
 But you aren't a Marionette," l ob- served, "so begin, please. Pour out your whole soul and heart about widows" ..of course you know the sort of widow that I portray fn 'Nobody's Widow is the type that is more relieved than grieved," said Miss Bates.
 Are there such?" I asked.
 My dear, there are all Kinds-sod, grass and a new variety-water. They are the very latest fashion in widows. Those whose husbands have been drowned. 'Nobody's Widow is supposed to be sod Widow. She pretends to be grieved-oh, tremendously. She's game They all are. That's the secret of their appeal. They have a certin surface sadness, but underneath they make themselves make the best of things Its a. widows duty to do the best she can for herself.'
 That is her chief asset?" l asked.
 "Man's conceit.p she said gleefully, as she launched this bit of treason, and her own wiles. Have you ever noticed how man begins to take notice the minute widow comes around? To them, it's a quotation of What is home without a Husband?' and they think she is saying to them NExTr Isn't that true?'
 "But suppose she has made very sad match the first ime." I inter rupted.
 Haven't you ever heard the story, Miss Bates went on, of the girl who was no longer young? She had the worst sort of luck in getting settled in place of her own. The home folks were beginning to believe that she would always be there to feed the canary bird and darn the stockings Suddenly one day she married. Maybe not much of man, but she wiped that execrable MISS off of her visiting card Her husband didn't live long and when he died she married again in less time than it takes to tell it; and she married again and again. even to fourth time."
 And, like Miss Lillian Russell. she will celebrate Sane and Safe Fourth. T I interpolated.

Hunting Season Opens Saturday.

EThe hunting season will open next
Saturday. From the reports received,
game will be quite plentiful this year
and, no doubt, large number of our
hunters will be out the first day to
! bag game. y s.'-1
| The open season for turtle-dove,
snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated,
white breasted or sharp-tailed grouse,
wood cock, upland plover and golden
plover is from September 7th to

duck, goose and all other aquatic fowl
opens at the same time and remains
open until December 1st.
The law limits the number of birds
each hunter can bag per day to fifteen
and no one is allowed to have in his
possession at any one time, more than
SO aquatic fowl and As other game
birds. Non-residents are allowed to
ship 25 game birds to their place Of
residence.
The resident license fee for all small
game is 81 90 and must be procured
from the County Auditor. By Tues
day noon County Auditor Vogel had
iss ued 80 of these licenses. A hunter
who intends to shoot only in the
County in which he resides, need not
procure q license. The nonresident
bird license fee is $1,000 and must be
secured from the Executive Agent. =.
Most of the birds, animals and fish
are protected for some period during
the year. OF the fish, pickerel, suckers,
redhorse, carp and bullheads are
excepted and may be taken at any
time. Blackbirds, crows, English
sparrows, sharp Skinned hawks,

privilege expired week ago to-day.
Anyone who transgresses this rule is
amenable to the law.

CELEBRATION FUNDS SUR.
PASS EXPENDITURES
Bills Allowed Amounting to More
Than $4,000. 90 and More to
Come.
Receipts Total Nearly $4,000.

When We stop to compare the
weather of last week with that OF the
week of the big celebration. we may
consider ourselves truly fortunate
In spite of the hard and earnest work
done by the executive committee and
the citizens in general, without favor.
able weather, the celebration could not
have been the unqualified success II
vas. Financially it certainly would
not have been able to show the splen-
did results that now seem almost
assured, If the weather conditions had
not been 50 propitious. 5
The expenses of celebration of this
nature, % q rule, come considerably
higher than the original estimate and
the executive committee appreciated
that fully when they came together
last Friday evening to audit bills that
had already been submitted. Ia the
space of little over an hour, they
passed upon and ordered paid bills
aggregating over $4,000. There are
moro to come. It is safe to state that
the bills outstanding will swell the
total expenditures to fully s3700.
The fortunate thing about it is the fact
that Treasurer Henle has enough
funds on hand to meet all the bills and
have surplus. How large the sur
plus is going to be can not be estimat-
ed with any degree of accuracy at
the present time It may take several
weeks before q complete and accurate
statement can be issued by Secretary
Meile. ~
OF the moneys expended practically
$50 can be charged to permanent i'm
proyements because this is the amount
that was expended for suitable monu-
ments and tablets to mark the historic
spots.
The bands cost the committee
1858. 80, but the committee realized
sl55 by sub-letting the bands to local
organizations and the actual expense
10 the committee is therefore only
trifle over $500.
The decorations and floats cost
S675. so.
The aeroplane $500. On the latter
account the committee was reimbursed
to the extent of 500 by the Brown
County Agricultural Society.
The automobile parade without the
expenses for advertising amounted to
S135.75.
The banquet, including decorations,
cost approximately $24O. OF this
amount sl95 will be met by the Junior
Pioneers who attended the banquet,
thus leaving the actual expense for
the committee less than $50.
For advertising and printing s2s4.lS
was expended and the quarters for the
defenders cost only 1926.
The expense for the defenders
badges will be q trifle over $50.
The other expenses we're mostly for

postage, telephone ana telegrapn.
