THE BOND ISSUE LOST
LACKED SIX VOTES RECEIVING
REQUIRED TWO THIRDS.
OF 24S Voters Registered 191 Are
POIIed for Bonds and 20 Go
Against Them.


The proposed bond issue failed to
receive two-thirds of the votes reg
istered in the election last Tuesday,
and as a result the issue failed to
carry.
OF the 24S voters registered only
191 of them went to the polls to ex-
press their choice on the question,
leaving SO who did not vote at all.
Had the full registered vote been
polled the bond advocates would no
doubt have been successful.
There was considerable apathy on
the part of the voters on the subject,
and the friends of the proposed bond
issue had to do hard work to get the
voters to the polls.
Quite a number of those who had
qualified were out of town, some of
them attending the ball game at
Montezuma, which partly accounts
for the small vote cast

DATES FOR CORN SHOW
SET.
Sixth Annual Event Will be Held Thurs.
day and Friday, January eth
and 2Sth.

w. A. Won Berg informs US that the
dates for Mosinee's sixth annual corn
show and dairy school have been final.
ly agreed upon, and speakers assigned
by the university for this occasion.
The show this year will be held on
Thursday and Friday, January 9th
and 18th, and the program will be one
of the best that has ever been con-
Quoted here. Mosinee has come to be
recognized as the king bee of them
all when it comes holding winter
meetings of this kind and none but
the best speakers are assigned mere.
The premium list will be published
the first of next month, in ample time
for circulation before the event is
I held. This is now being compiled.
The usual list of prizes will be given
besides special premiums. While the
corn crop was failure this year, still
it is not thought that this will effect
the show in any particular, and there
is no reason why we should not have
just as good a winter meeting this
year as any that have been held in
the past five years, with just as good
an attendance.
F. l.. Graber, of the department of
agriculture, who was here two years
ago, will have charge of the work on
one of the days, and G. G. Humphrey,
of the department of animal husband
ry, will be here for the second day.
Mr.. Humphrey was also here some
few years ago. H. w. Uilsberger, of
the soils department of the Univer-
sity, will also speak at one of the ses-
SiOns. There will also be talks by
County Field Representative H. H.
Humphrey and by A G. Burg, of the
school of agriculture. A domestic
science demonstration will again be
given by the girls of the Marathon
county school of agriculture and do
mestic economy, under the direction
of Miss Mary Alice Brown, similar to
the one conducted last year.-Mosinee

had or is having the grippe; whole
families have been ill, some have
dragged along for several weeks hard
ly able to get about. 1t is said that
the disease is the very worst known
in this country since 1899; sudden
changes in the weather and the dust
and dirt during the dry spell in
November is the cause given by
doctors. Some seem to think that II
the snow storm, which has covered
Northern Wisconsin, had come earlier,
there wouldn't have been such an
epidemic in the north. Let us hope
that the epidemic will soon let up.

THE MILWAUKEE, CHARITY
Bazaar FOR WAR
SUFFERERS.

In various cities of this country,
among them New York, Chicago, St.
Louis, St. Paul, Pittsburgh and Balti-
more, bazars have already been con-
Quoted, the net returns of which are
intended to be used for the allevia-
tion of War-suffers in the old Father
land. That which contributed, above
everything else, to the magnificent
success of these bazars, was the spirit
which animated them. This same
beautiful spirit of active and practical
humanity and philanthropy, which is
foreign to all feelings of passion
aroused by the war, and which is in
tended only to heal the wounds that
have been inflicted, will also domin-
ate the great baZar which is to be
held in our Milwaukee Auditorium
the week of March 1st to March 7th,
1916.
The committee to whose hands the
various matters have been intrusted,
places special Importance on the fact
that it wishes to emphasize, that this
undertaking is by no means one of
merely local character, but that on
the contrary it confidently expects
the energetic assistance of the citizens
of the whole state. To all, even
those whose sympathies are on the
other side, but who, when seeing a
fellow human being suffer, do not in
quire as to his nationality, will be
given an opportunity to contribute to
the success of this work Of good will.
But it is especially to the German
Americans of the state that the COM
mittee looks for active and willing
cooperation.
On this account, on the eve of the
Christmas holidays, at time when
the soul is animated by feelings of
love and humanity, the appeal goes
out to all, who, no matter where
their birthplace may have been, are
wiling to render aid to this noble
undertaking May everyone who
reads this call, which is to be spread
far and wide in both the German and
the English press of the state, and
reach the dwellers of country and city
alike, may everyone who has heart
for the suffering of his fellowmen,
hasten to communicate either with
Mr.. Alvin P. Kletzsch, Chairman Of
the committee, Republican House, or
with Mr. VIM. Schultz, Secretary,
Merchants & Manufacturers Bank
Building, in order TO find out and
determine in what manner his cooper
tion in this worthy cause may best be
made available. Particularly welcome
is the participation and assistance of
already existing organizations and
that of societies to be organized for
this purpose, who should be gladly
willing to undertake the arrangement
and conducting of bazar booths, or
cooperate in filling parts and numbers
| in the elaborate program of this
baZar.
Let US then, all of us, join hands in
the beautiful spirit of yuletide love
and make this bazar an eloquent
witness of the humanitarian and
liberal spirit of the population OF
Wisconsin.

probably been greater than on any
other previous holiday season, 1t
has been at times almost impossible
to mail parcel post packages, one had
to stand in line and take his turn.
The congestion usually came at the
close of the day. Then, too, many had
directed their packages wrong, leav-
ing off the name of the sender,
which had to go in the left
hand upper corner. Besides the
motorcycles which have had to be
used in the delivery of parcels post,
two autos had to be pressed into
service, taking out and delivering
packages.
