He maintains an index showing the

brook. i've got one. / just want to

Newspaper Advertising Best

Mr. Carl Johnson, Secretary and
manager of the Northern Wisconsin
State Fair, like J. c. McKensie Of
the Wisconsin State Fair, believes
that the newspapers throughout nor
thern Wisconsin can better promote
the fair and that no more money will
be spent on bill boards and novelties,
that the money for advertising the
fair will be used among the newspa-
pers in this northern part of the
state. He is satisfied it will bring
better results. Newspapers today"
says Mr.. Johnson, "are the best and
only medium by which to reach the
people. The concerns that use the
newspapers are doing the business
today"

Tuesday nights freeze, which was
the first hard one of the fall and
caused the formation of ice of suffi-
Gent thickness along the shores of the
river in places that 1t did not break
up during the following day, has start
ed speculation as to when the river
will be closed by ice for the winter.
Last year the river closed Dec. % for
the winter, but before that date 1t
closed Dec. 10, and two days later,
Dec. 81, people crossed the river at
Richmond on the ice. This freeze how
ever was followed by mild weather and
the river was not finally closed by ice
until the 29th. The last vessel out OF
the river last year was the schooner
Emma S. Briggs, which was towed
down from Augusta Dec. 16, but
the barge Thomaston was towed
to Gardiner Dec. IS, laden with $50 tons
sof coal. The following day however,
after 200 or 300 tons had been taken
out of her, as the river was freezing
so that two tugs had to be sent up to
break the ice, she was lowed to Bath
and later to Portland where the bal
ance Of her cargo was discharged.
