NOSE FESTIVAL AND BALL

We have mentioned harvest festi-
walls, rose festivals and festivals of
various other distinguishing names,
but never before have we had occa-
sion to write UP a nose festival" ."
Weyerhaeuser is going to have a
nose festival, accompanied by a
grand ball, Saturday night and if you
want to find out what a nose festi-
val is go to Weyerhaeuser tomorrow
night.
The sponsors for this innovation
declare that they will give everyone
who attends the best time they ever
had at a dance and a good time
worth many times the dollar that
will be charged for the tickets.
J. ]. Dunn says Luell's full or
chestra will furnish the music, the
intimation being, apparently, that
even the orchestra will compete in
the nose festival.

TWO-DAY FARMERS INSTITUTE
Meetings at Weyerhaeuser Dec. IS
and II Will BE Very Helpful
to Those Who Till the Sell

Farmers of Rusk county who believe
in exchanging ideas and information
with their neighbOrs are being asked
to attend the special farmers insti-
tute at Weyerhaeuser, which will be
held December 1917. This is the
only farmers institute scheduled for
this county. and as such merits the
attention Of all.
w. c. Bradley, Hudson, we'll known
as an institute worker and farmer,
will have charge Of the meetings, as
sisted by L. e. Scott, Stanley, and
Thomas Convey, Ridgeway, both eX-
perienced farmers.
AS the institute is planned first of
all as a means Of getting farmers to-
gether for an interchange of ideas,
it is hoped that all who come will
be prepared to enter into the dis
cussions freely and without hesita-
ton The men in charge will not
lecture" to the visitors, but only
lead in the conferences on important
subjects.
The meetings are not intended as
entertainments ''for young and old"
Their purpose is to shed light on
dark places in farming and to help
in every manner possible in the
progress of the county as an agri-
cultural region. Musical numbers
and short papers on special sub
jects will be prepared by local tai
ent under the direction of a home
committee as a means of enlivening
the program.
A total of 11O such two-day insti-
tutes will be held in Wisconsin this
winter by the Department of Far
mers Institutes under the direction
of the new superintendent, E. L.
Luther.

STORE MAKES BIG IMPROVEMENT
RemodeIling cf Thompson Store
Makes 1t Much More Convenient
And Attractive

A great improvement in the con-
venient arrangement and in the ap-
pearance of the Thompson Mercan-
tile Co.'s store has resulted from the
recent remodelling of this large mer-
camille establishment and the addi-
tional floor space secured in the old
State Bank building.
The grocery department now has
a third more space than formerly,
giving it practically all of that part
of the building that fronts on west
Second-st.
The installation of several cleo
trically-illuminated show cases in the
dry-goods section enhances the ap-
pearance of that portion of the store
greatly and considerably more room
has been secured for this and the
shoe departments by moving the
ladies' ready-to-wear departments in
to the annex, or the front part of
the old bank.
At the rear of the annex and with
entrances on Second street and to
the store, Mr.. Thompson has had a
very neat and wellarranged private
office fitted up. Here Mr.. Thompson
has a commodious place to take care
of his manifold interests and the
varied activities of mayor of the
city, merchant, timber dealer and
land-man, away from the noise and
hubbub of his busy store. And, in
passing, let us remark that it re-
quires man with a wall-pOised
business head" and no lazy streak
to take care of such diversified in
terests as Mr.. Thompson does, sue
cessfully.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
Skater Goes Through Thin Ice. on
River, But is Finally Rescued,
Almost Benumned With
the Cold

While skating on the river Sun
day afternoon, William Schuman,
who lives four miles north of this
city, had narrow escape from
drowning when he went through the
ice beneath the brooklyn" bridge.
The accident happened near the
middle of the river when young Schu-
man attempted to cross on the thin
ice beneath the bridge. The ice
failed to support him and he went
through into the water. He man
aged to cling to the edge of the
ice while his calls for help attract
ed the attention of nearby skaters.
A long pole was extended to him
across the ice by which means he
was finally dragged to safety. He
would soon have been so benumbed
with the cold that he could no longer
maintain his precarious hold on the
edge of the ice.
