There were quite number of very
pretty Indian girls in Wausau on
Saturday. They were stylishly dressed
and very much unlike those who
used to make this section their home
many years ago. 1t seems that they
were young girls from the Indian
school at Tomah. There were also
quite humber of young men, all in
charge of E. Symonds, one of the
teachers in the school. 1t will not
be many years before all of our In
dams will be civilized and going
about Rke ordinary white folks.

Milwaukee, which purchased the lum-
Der at the John +. Dietz place at
Cameron dam, that caused the Dietz
controversy, has started to haul the
lumber to Winter for shipment, using
a large motor truck on the ten mile
haul from the DietZ farm to Winter.
There is about 100000 feet of white
pine lumber in all or about twenty
five car loads. Much OF the lumber is
reported to be of poor grade, due to
the long time it has been exposed to
the elements.
Edwin Sabin writes an amusing ar
ticle entitled "On a Diet" which, he
calls "the funny side of a se.ious
matter" Following is an extract:
THE human stomach as diagram
med in the encyclopedia resembles
the map of South America and, as a
potentiality, exercises the revolution
airy characteristics of that realm. 1t
varies in size: in youth being longer
than thick, and reaching from the
chin to the heels: in ripe maturity
being thicker than long, and reach
ing from the back two feet beyond
the natural plumb-line.D
