Worthy OF Bouquet.

What is known to Tribune reporter
is this: That as two neatly dressed
young ladies' were walking along in an
approved manner up High street, at a
point beyond the business district, at
9.l5 last Sunday evening, an auto with
only the driver in rushed up from be-
hind and stopped quickly near the curb
ing where they CHANGED to be. They
were invited to climb in and take ride.
The manner in which the auto party
was turned down and ducked as best
he could as he steered his machine
around and rushed back, was good to
behold. The young ladies', who passed
on quietly, are. entitled to a beautiful
bouquet tied with blue ribbon.

A Timely Donation.


The Women's Civic clnh was the
happy recipient of check for fifty dol
lars from the Field Day association to
be used only for the play ground at
jerusalem Park. This gilt not only
shows the appreciation of the associa-
ton for the efforts put forth by the
club to make the Fourth a success, but
exemplifes the spirit OF cooperation
for the betterment of our city
Too much cannot be said of the value
of such play ground and the Civic
club wishes to thank those who have
assisted by contributions in securing the
equipment.
Especial attention is called to the par
ents of the children enjoying these
privileges, to the duty of teaching them
to respect the personal and property
rights of others. To cultivate the play
spirit and to keep children busy is the
making Of useful citizens.

THE FAIR AND ITS
SIGNAL PROGRESS.

We live in distinctly progressive
age, and no person or party has keenei
conception of the fact than the man
ayers and friends of the Southwestern
Wisconsin Fair, an organization that
has held forty-ilve successful annual
exhibitions in Mineral Point this years
will be the forty-sixth. Here is proof
OF its being the oldest district fair in
the booming middle west, and there is
ample evidence of its being First and
Best, = as heralded, that it has always
been liberal and met it's obligations
dollar for dollar. What a glorious, in
comparable record.
But of this years big progressive
stride we want to dwell on in particu-
lar. The energetic and successful Field
Day association of this place has de-
cided on cooper a,ing with the fair
managers in making signal improve
ments in the grounds and buildings.
For this move j. W. Chamley, +. G.
Penhallegon, Fred Zweifel and Frank
Jeuck have been appointed as com
mittee to work with the fair officials.
A decision has been reached, and that
is, to build new office, to change the
entrance to and exit from the grounds
to better conform to state road rules,
to improve and paint the main hall, to
paint the grand stand and its Office,
and to paint all other buildings, all
painting to be in white The track and
fences and other things will receive as
much attention in the way of improve
ment as time will permit.
Isn't that com nendable. praiseworthy
progress on the part of those at the
head of the movement? The citizens of
Mineral Point have always been proud
of their fair, and justly. This years
undertaking should serve as great
stimulous to that pride.
Now remember, and be on hand next
August Is to Is. You'll not regret it.

In the South everyone uses Yick's
Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms OF cold

in St Joseph, Mo-, for the first time,
last winter, the local druggists natu-
rally were skeptical. They did not
believe that Group could be relieved
in fifteen minutes just by rubbing
with Vap-O-Rub, or that colds COM

rangements were made to present 3
number OF ladies with complimentary
Jars Of Vap-O-Rub on the condition
that they give II q thorough trial
Here are the reports from these ladies':
