MASONIC TEMPLE, MINERAL POINT.

The Masonic parties are grand, social
events, that are looked forward to an
nually, where the members and their
families assemble and participate in
general reunion and good time The
party this season was in keeping with
those of former years. The banquet
provided by the committee and served
by the brethren was not lacking in any
particular, either in variety or service.
AT no time during the supper hour were
the guests subjected to crowding or
waiting Covers were laid for $50 at
each sitting, and from 5 80 to o. clock
the vast number present were served
with very delicious menu. The din
ing room was artistically decorated ap-
propriate to the season, and sweet
strains of music from the Masonic
Orchestra, of eight pieces, added to the
pleasures of the banquet hour.
The program at o'clock in the lodge
room, by the Avon Sketch Club. from
the Mutual Lyceum Bureau of Chicago,
was indeed rare treat and seemed to
appeal to all present by the many en-
cores they received. For several years
Lyceum attractions have furnished the
programs at these annual gatherings,
but never has number given more
universal satisfaction than that furn
ished by the Avons.
The dance from 10 p. m. to the small
hours of the morning was in keeping
with the balance of the program pro-
vided for the guests. The orchestra re-
ceived many compliments from the
dancers and spectators.
During the past year the Masons have
added more to their numbers than at
any time in the history of the or
ganization.

PRAISES TAYLOR
COUNTY STOCKMEN


For individual farmers to breed ba
con hogs of the right market types is
indeed a praiseworthy venture, but for
community of breeders to CO. operate
in the production of high class bacon
is even more commendable and means
a greater future for this important
industry.
This is what representative of the
animal husbandry department of the
College of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin, recently said in commenting
upon the organization of the Taylor
County Tamworth Breeders associa-
ton.
The breeders of this county believe
in the future Of the bacon hog in upper
Wisconsin and have formed an associa-
tion to aid them in the breeding of
bacon swine and to increase the popu-
larity of the Tamworth breed in that
section.
The officers of the new organization
are: v. d nlrScn, Meuloru, pfeSluenI;
and r. A. Kolb, Agriculture Repre-

SeasonabIe Cold Weather.

Those who are awake to the benefits
coming from the deep freezing of the
ground in Wisconsin as affecting the
crops of the coming year will be pleased
that this year we have had plenty of
cold before enough snow came to pre-
vent deep freezing. This is very desir-
able, as the ground will be frozen to a
good depth and so heaved and loosened
that there will be a good reservoir for
water and a deep feeding ground for
the plant roots.
When it seems too cold, just think Of
what it means and realize that it is just
cold enough.
