SOCIETY CIRCUS PLANS
By CHARLES II. MANDY

Active preparations are being made for
the approaching society circus which
DIR. Dedman states most positively will
be digger, brighter and better than
ever" At the athletic club daily re-
hearsals of the various athletic num-
bers are being held and many really
wonderful and meritorious stunts win
be presented. The clown drill of the
junior class the pyramid drill of the
intermediate class and the tennis drill
of the girls class are very effective
and the young folks at this stage are
very efficient
An interesting feature will be the pic
lures of the Olympic games at Stock
holm. Sweden, which will be explained
by Capt. Ed Anderson, who represented
the athletic club as a member of the
United States rife team on that occa-
sion.
In contrast to the turkey trot' and

will present artistic and graceful dances

Tobacco Notes

A. Wallach of Chicago has been in
this market the past week.
Mr.. Ernest Hartog of Antwerp, Bel
GUM, tobacco importer, spent few
days of the week in the state.
From Is acre crop grown on the
Edw. Gunderson farm in Dunkirk, de-
llvered to the American Cigar Co. at
Stoughton, a check for $3,041 was re-
ceived.
The F. G. Borden Co. of Milton have
leased the south half of the big ware
house No. at Stoughton to be used
for the storage of their low grade pur-
chases.
Mr.. Paul Hirshorn, with the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co., arrived Mon
day for brief stay in the state. He
had been in Detroit since the new year
looking after the reorganization of the
Speis & Worch factory, where the
former managers had stepped out and
attempted to take the larger part of
the working force with them.

Evansville Water and Light Rates
Reduced.

The municipal electric light and water
plant at Evansville has met the dis
favor of the railroad rate commission
and has been ordered to revise its
schedule of prices and give the citizens
a lower uniform rate scale. The Ev-
ansville light commission was ordered
Monday to establish lower rates for
light and power and the work of adj
justing the scale will be started at once
or prosecution by the state will follow.
No formal complaint was made to
the rate commission by any of the cit
liens of the neighboring town. but the
state commission carried on the inves-
tigation of its own accord and found
sufficient evidence to establish the fact
that the people of Evansville were
grossly overcharged for the services
rendered
The demands of the state commission
caused great surprise as most OF the
people were unaware that the munich
pally owned corporation was being
probed It was long felt that the rates
charged were unjust and the patrons
complaints met with no results. Since
the ruling of the rate commission the
light and water users of the city hope
to secure a noticeable reduction IN
charges.

Creamery Officers.

The Emerald creamery at Hanerville
in the town of Dunkirk has done good
business the past year, according to
the report of the management, which
was submitted at the annual meeting
of stockholders held at that point on
Thursday. Under contract with a
wholesale house the creamery is per-
mitted to sell only 500 pounds month
locally, hence part of the output is
disposed of at Stoughton and the bal
ance is shipped to Chicago. The officers
chosen were:
President Walter Livick.
Vice President William Bitter.
Secretary and Treas.-M. J. Doran.
Buttermaker-Chri Christensen.
Instead of declaring the usual 10 per
cent dividend, it was decided to use the
money in paying off the debt incurred
in rebuilding the creamery after it had
been destroyed by fire last summer.

Youthful Minstrel at School Show
Got on One Good and Orig

1t is customary in many OF the New

on the last day before the pupils dis
perse for the Christmas holidays.
Parents are invited to see and near
their young hopefuls recite or take
part in special vaudeville stunts or
fairy plays devised by the teachers.
One teacher who found herself
blessed-or otherwise-with a room
full of unruly boys wher school began
in the autumn hit upon happy idea.
She promised the boys that II they
were good they might have a minstrel
show Just before the holidays. All
through the term the teacher Kept
this prospect before them, promisins
the particularly noisy youths good
parts If they would keep their deport-
ment up to a fair standard. The
promise had the desired effect, the
boys were reasonably manageable.
