Perry, June "A nervy piece of
thievery was pulled off at Huxley 2

Farmers Creamery. The butter was
worth so cents a pound, or $3.50 all
told. The loss was discovered the

ing town notified. "
The robbery was one of long

Huxley and is thought to be the work
of an organized gang. Entrance was

officers of the company have met and
decided to offer a reward of $50 for

city and be safely under cover before
the burglary is discovered and re-

STATE TAXES
STILL GOING UP
Statement Just Issued BY Secretary
of State Shows Increase i'm Wis
cOnsin Tax Levy.

The sensational feature of the state
campaign is the issuance by Secretary
of State Donald of the official state
tax levy for 1916 fixing for the Philip
administration of the state tax this
year at 1878, 417O1. Last year the state
tax levy was S4.579.75S so this year
the tax levy is s1,1S3 .659.01 higher
than last year. For Marathon county
the tax this year is 117,S2644. Last
year SS4,S27.11, making the increase
for this county this year, $50 ,999.33.
This official statement explodes en-
tirely all arguments that tax reduc-
tons have taken place or that there
has been reduction in expenses in state
affairs. With the official state tax levy
this year thousands of dollars higher
than last year the present state ad-
ministration by its own acts and fig
ures, is now convicted of sham and
pretense in all its tax reduction
claims.
The voter need not listen any more
to claims for tax reduction in state
government. In every county in Wis
consin the county clerk now has the
official state tax levy for 1916 and
comparisons with 1915. The taxpay-
ers of each county are now compelled
to contribute more to the state gov
eminent than was the case last year.

There will be many noted speakers
present from all over the country, all
interested in Sunday school work.

SILVER WEDDING SURPRISE

Last Saturday evening Mr.. and Mrs
G. H. Peth had invited in a few friends
for dinner party, honoring Mrs.
Alice Fleming of Merrill, whose birth
day anniversary was on that day.
Just as the guests were about to par
take of delicious dinner, a gathering
of friends, numbering about twenty,
invaded the Peth home and completely
surprised Mr.. and Mrs. Peth, it be-
ing their twenty-fifth wedding ami
versary. After congratulations the
two parties assisted in a proper and
most enjoyable observance of the two
anniversaries. The decorations in pink
and white, were artistically arranged.
The party brought with them de-
licious eatables and after sumptuous
repast enjoyed the evening in CONVEX
sation, music and games.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peth received beauti-
full gifts of silver, among them an ex-
quisite silver vase containing twenty
five beautiful American Beauty roses,
from the party of friends who sur
prised them. H. G. Flieth made the
presentation speech, giving the fol-
lowing original poem:
For twenty-five swift happy years
OF sunshine and grey weather.
Through happiness and Oft through tears
You two have walked together
So may you go on to life's end
Each year more love reve aling,
May shadows all with sunshine blend
To sunsets glory stealing.
We. your friends. rejoice today.
In the treasures we have shared
Friendship with YOU on the way
AS together We have Jared.
And we hope this day may be
One of happiness untold,
Filled with loves own sympathy
And friendships purest gold"
Mr.. and Mrs. Peth fully responded to
the days joys and gifts and their
appreciation was fully shown.
Their friends took their departure
after delightful evening expressing
their hopes that the bride and groom
might celebrate their golden wedding
anniversary as happily as their silver
wedding anniversary.

PRESENTS EACH EMPLOYEE
LIFE INSURANCE

The first National bank of this city
recent y presented each of it's en-
ployees with a life and accident in
surance policy, which the bank ex-
poets to keep in force so long as the
employees continue in the service of
that bank. This policy is what is
termed group life insurance and was
made possible by the contract entered
into at the last convention of the
Wisconsin Bankers association.
Under this group life insurance plan
the Travellers Insurance company of
Hartford, insured the employees of
that bank, not only in case of death,
but, in case of any accident resulting
in permanent disability, the insured
employee will receive from that COM
pany a stated annual payment for
twenty years.
Bankers have long advocated
Thrift" among the people of the coun-
try and by thus providing for possible
accidents and death among its en-
ployees, the First National bank is
certainly "practicing what it preach
es."
Life insurance is certainly one i'm
portant part of any thrift campaign
and undoubtedly many of the younger
bank employees will have their atten-
ton forcibly directed to the benefits
of life insurance through the policy
presented to them by their bank Of
ficers. The spirit of loyalty and good
will between employer and employee
through this new form of welfare work
will undoubtedly result in good to the
bank as well as to it's employees.
