ing the dirt fly on the school grounds
during the past week. Material for
play y-ground apparatus has been fur
nished by the Civics Club and the boys,

Ladders, and Turning Bar for the
older children, and Sand Box for the
smaller ones. The posts are to be SET
in concrete and firmly braced
The addition of this playground ap
paratus to the school grounds will give
more good wholesome play opportun
ity for fruitful development of the
children 1t is probable that new ap
paratus will be added from time tc
time.

FOREST COUNTY WILL BE
VISITED BY LAND CLEARERS

Two points in Forest county locate
on the 500 line, North Crandon an
Armstrong Creek, will be visited b.
Wsconsin's second land clearing spec
ial train some time during the next 81
days. Local arrangements are in chargt
of John Swenehart, county agrlcultua
representative, assisted b y severa
farmers and business men.
Besides the College of Agriculture
and the 500 line, there are five manu-
featuring concerns interested in the
demonstrations A similar series of
land clearing exhibitions were staged
in northern Wisconsin early in the
summer, and attra cted about 8, 900 peo-
pie, ninety per cent of whom were di-
rectly interested in some phase of the
question at hand.
/ At North Crandon the demonstra-
! tions will be held on the county asylum
and poor farm, while at Armstrong
Creek piece of land trifle more than
a mile from town has been secured
Horse and hand power machinery as
we'll as dynamite will be used in the
work The most practical of trials will
be made under actual conditions.
Nothing fancy or spectacular will be
attempted.
With the excellent crop prospects of
the present season, Forest county far
mers are taking new interest in land
clearing. On the one hand they note
the good yields of grain, hay and field
crops, and then turn to contemplate
the great undeveloped resources of
this county, there being less than one
per cent of the land under cultivation.
They have every reason to feel graft
fed at this seasons harvest outlook.
According to the August report of crop
conditions in Forest county issued by
the State Department of Agriculture
the following points are noteworthy:
Oats yield 96 per cent in quality bar
ley SO and potatoes 80 per cent. The
hay crop for 1916 is ranke at 100 per
cent, and the average placed at 106
compared to 1915. Glover hay has av-
eraged about 2 2 tons an acre, quality
90 per cent. Alfalfa ranks 100 per cent
and pastures are placed at SO by the
estimators. In fact not county in the
state shows up to more advantage,
comDaratiVe1v Sneakinp
With these facts at hand from undis-
puted authority, the natural query
arises-Why not more land under the
plow?

FUN FOR EVERYBODY AT
THE HARVEST FESTIVAL

Lively band music all day long, q
base ball game with snap that will
make the hearts of the old fans thump,
a rib-cracking comedy, a parade that
will outclass any ever attempted in
| Wabeno before, races, games and con-
tests for boys and girls these are some
of the shings the committees in charge
of the Wabeno harvest festival and
Forest county potato show are plan
ming for the entertainment of the un-
precedented crowd that promises to
invade this village October 7th.
The parade in the morning will be
one of the big attractions. Three prizes
are to be offered for the three most
ingeniously contrived floats. To win
prize, however, float does not nee
essarily have to be an elaborately dec
Grated outfit. 1t may be ever so simple
provided it presents ingeniously some
idea 1t may consist in an OK team
hitched to farm wagon, or, if the
farmer can't afford a wagon, lie may
hitch his oxen to his Ford. Local socie-
ties have been invited to have their
organizations represented in the par
ade by float. This will give the diff
ferent organizations a chance to ad-
vertise their work.
The band will be on the grounds
promptly in the morning and will liven
up the exercises throughout the day.
There will be something doing every |
minute for the entertainment and |
amusement of all who come to Wabeno,
the town with future, on Oct. 7th.

Miss Anna Ehlen and Mr.. Caspar
Wagner were married on Tuesday of
last week at the Assumption church
by Rev. Father Jones.
The bride was prettily attired in
beautiful gown of white Powered silk
and her veil was draped and caught
with lilies of the valley and carried
a prayer book.
Miss Katherine Wagner, a sister
of the groom attended the bride. She
wore pretty dr. sss of plain white
silk. Mr.. Matthias Ehlen, brother
of the bride was best man.
After the ceremony a sumptuous
wedding dinner was served at the
home of the BRIDES parents. for the
many relatives and friends of the
newlyweds. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mat. Ehlen, and
is charming young lady who is we'll
liked and is highly esteemed by all.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Wagner of Pierz, MINI. He
possesses a pleasing personality and is
we'll known in Morris and enjoys a
wide circle of friends.
The newlywedded couple are spend
ing their honeymoon visiting with
relatives and will later leave for
Plaza, N. D., where Mr.. Wagner has
been stavino looking after farming in
terest and there has also one of the
finest farms in that section of the

their future home.
We will join with the many rela-
tives and friends in wishing them a
joyous and a happy welded life and
that every blessing may be showered
upon them.

around Mr.. Kelly and his keen sense
of humor that he manages, some how
to inject into every situation. II we
may make a conclusion from the
hearty reception accorded to the Kelly
Stock Co., this week and in other ap-
pearances here, it would seem that
the day of the melodrama, blood and
thunuer tragedies is past. This is
surely right. People have kindlier
feeling for the show that can make
them laugh often and loud than for
the troupe that shocks their finer SEN
sibilities with a dramatizatIon of
Poe's murders in the Rue Morgue.
Tomorrow night will conclude the
stay of the Kelly Stock Co., and the
bill will be the presentation of an in

ToIstoy's Thoughts on Death.

The fear of death is unnatural. The
fear of death is the consciousness Of
sin
The fear Of death emanates from the
fact that what people regard as life is
only a small part of it, limited by
their own erroneous conception.
Just as the owner of the fig tree
knows the time when the fruit is ripe,
so God knows when to call the right
eous from this world.

where you neither fear death nor de-

The old-time moving blades is
the scarce tool now. There
will be an abundance of feed
