One Of the very few operate offerings
that delight children as we'll as G., own-
ups is the Aborn Opera Company's big
spectacular production of ''The Bohemian
Girl,'' Which comes to Turner Theatre
next Sunda:. As formerly presented
in less pretentious form, this Balfe
ma .terpiece always attracted the
younge: as well as the older generation,
bit in this modernized and amplifed
firm, it is still more attractive. FIX
trerne realism is now attained in the
sover great stage pictures where real
gypsies, animals, mountehanks and the
Tzigani Troupe of Arab acrobat, are
introduced. Another important fea-
ture added in this presentation is the
bea tif2l allegorical ballet, "The Dance

GOOD HUNTING is PREDICTED
Experts Believe Ducks viii Be Plenti-
full This FaII-Season May
Open Late.

Prairie du Chien-Local hunters pre-
dict fine duck hunting this fall, al
though it is expected it will be late,
Ordinarily a good many black ducks
stay all summer in the sloughs an(
lakes near here, affording shooting az
soon as the season opens.
The high %~ter this year prevented
them from nesting on the river and
except for the wood ducks, which al
ways stay, there will be no duck shoot
ing until the flocks from the north
come in October or the last of Sep
TENDER. Quite a number of woOG
ducks and a few snipe have been seer
by hunters recently and the game
warden has been around within the
last few days investigating several
reported violations of the game law.
A fifteen-mile stretch of the slough
and ponds of the Mississippi from the
mouth of the Wisconsin river north
toward Lynxville, including Horseshoe
Mud Hen, Grass and Lily lakes, near
Prairie du Chen, is considered one OF
the best duck hunting sections of the
upper river.

tition at Federal Board Hearing.
Favor Location at Madison,

Madison - Prominent agriculturists
and business men appeared before the
federal farm loan board at it's session
here today and urged that one of the
twelve banks be located in the central
part of the state. The strongest argu-

the banks in Madison has become to
be recognized through the influence of
its great agricultural college one of
the most progressive and influential
farming centers in the middle west
Through the influence of the agricultu-
raj college, it was argued, the federal
farm loan bank would be brought in
closer touch with the farmers in Mad
ison than any other point in the mid
die west.

Superior-Dr. J. C. Barnsdale, who
was shot four times by Mrs. G. Mil
ward Smith miss Helen StewarD is
improving rapidly. DR.. Barnsdale is
largely caring for his own case. At
the time of the shooting it was thought
that his wounds would prove fatal and
when physicians discovered that one
bullet lay in each lung his case was
considered almost hopeless. The cause
of the shooting is still shrouded in
mystery.
