THE
KING OF HOLIDAYS
(By Justus A. Miller.)

On December the 22nd the school
house of District No. SO was the
scene of an enjoyable entertainment
in the form of basket social and .
Christmas tree given by the patrons
and pupils of the District under the
supervision of the teacher, MissOttil-
liza Sauvain.
The Christmas tree, all-alight, a.
glitter With tinseled toys, it stands
with branches heavily laden with the
gifts which typify the greatest gift
that God in His infinite wisdom, ever
gave to man-The Prince of Peace,
the atoning power of the Universe.
The entertainment given by the pu-
pills and some of the grown persons,
was we'll carried out. Addie Ashin-
hurst was the star performer. Boyd
and Lawrence Copenhaver, Bertha
and Olin Ritchie and Roy Tyler rem
dered their respective roles in a very
satisfactory manner to the enjoyment
of all.
Miss Ottillia Suayian has all the es-
sential qualities that are necessary
to make brilliant success of teach
ing. Possessed of a progressing,
charming and majestic personality.
she has the faculty to infuse know
ledge into the minds of her pupils in
such a way as to make their educa-
tional progress both interesting and
rapid. Miss Sauvain's success as a
teacher will be commensurate with
the zest, zeal and energy she so ar
IDENTIFY devotes to her chosen calling.
This matinee was given in homage
and reverence to the Prince of Peace,
the gentle Nazarene, the Man of Sor-
rows, the Master of men who never
wore sword or an epaulette, or was
given title save by the tongue OF
mockery. Yet his name is above
every other name, and His Kingdom |
the reign of eternal purity, humility |
and self-less love.
Christmas is justly called the King |
of all holidays celebrated in all lands
and climes. Millions are asking to-
day, "What am I going to give?" and
the answer must be, "Give what you
can Of material things; there are
many that gain happiness only from

Fire Alarm Don't Alarm

The fire department was called out
about $50 a. m. Friday to extinguish
a fire which threatened the home of
Chas. Lunger, in the Third Ward. A
shed back Of the house had caught
fire and was destroyed, but the
flames were confined to the shed
alone and the loss was not very
great.
Although the fire bell rang for
nearly half an hour there were
many people within a very few
blocks of Main street who did not
hear it. In fact it did not sound as
loud, at least the sound did not car
ry as far, as the old bell. 1t is es-
sential that an effective alarm sys-
tenn be installed here and since its
try-out Friday all realize that the
new bell doesn't fill the bill.
Many suggestions have been
made, but the best one, in our opini-
on. is the installation of several
alarms. distributed at advantageous
locations in different parts of town.
These would not need to be large or
expensive. Four or possibly five of
them. if situated right, would suf-
fee, and the price of installing the
entire outfit, including electric de-
vices for operating them from the
telephone exchange, would not cost
a ~ more than an alarm at the City
Hall which would be large enough o
prove effective.
Another improvement that is bad
ly needed is an Indicator at the fire
hall which will show from what sec
ton of town the alarm is turned in.
Several times the apparatus has gone
to different part of the city and
considerable delay has been caused
because no one present knew where
the fire was. Friday the department
was mis-directed to the normal
school.

Turkey RaffIes and Shoots

The usual round of turkey shoots
and raffies have been held during the
past two weeks in this vicinity, and
many from the city have patronized
them, bringing home from none to
ten fouls, and spending from five to
twenty dollars each. A patron of
one of last weeks raffies shames the
H. C. of L. by showing in figues that
his Thanksgiving turkey cost him
$3.50 per pound. Many have had
exciting times bringing the live birds
home. one man chasing his rattle
won turkey from an office on Main
street to the Frank Bliss farm about
a mile east of town, over route
that led through alleys, fences,
brush piles and plowed fields, while
along the course amused spectators
cheercd and ieered. Turkey shoots
have disclosed Workmanship that
shows that Uncle Sam can rely upon
his volunteer army for efficient
sharp-shooters.

Ticket Sale

The proceeds at the Princess thea
ire for the next three afternoon and
Tuesday evening shows, Dec. SIP
10, will be turned over to the local
public schools for the purchase Of a
Victrola. The plan was suggested
by teachers at the school, and Mr..
Rosenberg very generously joined in
this move to help the school. Ev-
eryone in the city can boost the pro-
petition along by buying the tickets.
either from students who will make
the canvass or by paying admission
at the Tuesday shows.
Mr.. Rosenberg's programs are al
ways of high class order, and as
the admission price is 10c, the same
as for all other evenings, patrons
will get their moneys worth and at
the same time be helping the school
purchase a Victrola.
Everyone should buy at least three
tickets-one for each day-and as
many more as you feel that you can
afford. 1t is good cause, and the
method of raising the money makes
it possible for everyone to lend a
helping hand without any expense
burden. Show your good will by
purchasing number of tickets from
the children, who will begin their
canvass Saturday.
The teachers. Manager Rosenberg
and the children are doing their
part. Will the public respond with
its usual generosity? We believe it
will.

Skating Popular

Hundreds of young people have
taken advantage of the excellent
skating on the upper electric power
plant pond the past week. Skating
is wholesome healthy sport and we
believe the city should aid the young
people in it's enjoyment by providing
Accommodations at the pond.
The pond now used can easily be
flooded after snow storm or when
melting makes the ice rough, and
this should be done whenever occa-
sion demands. An arc light located
at the end of the roadway which
leads to the pond would help the
situation, not only providing light
for those who are adjusting their
skates. but also disclosing the dan
gerous openings which are apt to be
found near shore.
Boating will undoubtedly become
more and more popular on this pond
in future summers, and the arc
lamp could be made a permanent
fixture to serve during both seasons.

Baby Beef Production Has
Bright Prospects

With the present unlimited de-
mand for meat products, the raising
of baby beef, even upon Wisconsin, IS
high priced land, offers opportunity
for profitable and congenial employ
ment, says John L. Tormey, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Shorthorn
Breeders association, who was one
of the managers of the Baby Beef
show held in Madison, Nov. 22-23.
According to Mr.. Tormey, Wiscon-
sin, on account of its nearness to
market, its good climate, its album
dance of forage, grain, and good
water, offers excellent opportunities
of the baby beef producer.
when raising baby beef, it is
necessary" declares Mr.. Tormy, to
have cattle of good beef type. and
the pure bred sire route is the only
one which safely can be taken. By
feeding the youngsters well from
calfhood, they will be ready to mar
ket at year and a half, and will
carry more meat with less care and
feed, tn an raw western feeders
would require to produce the same
returns"

Rumlor Was Unjust

d. j. Collins, who is in St. Paul
hospital receiving treatment for an
infection of ivy poisoning in his left
eye, is still in critical condition,
and may lose the sight in this eye. A
great injustice to a local drug store
is done through a report that Mr..
Collins condition is the result of a
mistake made in prescriptions put
Up at that place, report that, we
are sorry to say, on account OF the
direct source from which we recelv-
ed it, we gave credence. There is
no truth in the statement that labels
on prescriptions were interchanged
in such a manner that solution con-
tanning iodine was used as an eye
wash-no iodine appeared in either
prescription. From one OF the Twin
City's leading eye specialists, who is
now attending Mr.. Collins, comes
the statement that the ivy poisoning
alone is responsible for the serious
condition of the eye, and that the
medicine used here is in no way re-
sponsible. Other physicians who
have attended the case substantiate
this statement.

Working for Better
Wisconsin Pastures

Studying the types of grasses to
find the ones best suited for COM
plete pasture mixtures under Wis
consin conditions is a line of work
now being undertaken by several in
dividual farmers as we'll as by the
College of Agriculture. AS but lit
tie work has been done along this
line anywhere in the country, the de-
velopments will be noted with in
tereSt
1t is believed that the improve
ment of pasture mixtures and their
wider use in the state would tend to
increase the capacity of the soil to
produce bigger and better crops.
While no one can state with certain
ty what pasture mixtures are best
under all conditions in the state,
there are few combinations which
usually do we'll under a wide range
of soil and climate.
A few of these combinations have
been suggested by George B. Morti-
mer, College of Agriculture, as fol-
lows:
For low lands, red top IL pounds,
blue grass 8 pounds, timothy pds.
alsike clover 4 pds.
For uplands, blue grass 10 pds :.
timothy 6 pds., red top 6 pds., or
chard grass pds., red clover 2 pds
and alsike clover 2 pds
The blue grass in these mixtures
would serve as an early spring and
late fall pasture, while the red top
would fill in the period when the
blue grass is in it's dormant stage.
Timothy and red clover would pro-
duce hay and seed crop while the
pasture was being established. The
long lived orchard grass and alsike
clover would take up the vacant
places not occupied by the other
plants, and add greatly to the yield
and feeding value Of the forage.
