from Eagle River Sunday.

The Birth of Nation" D. w
Griffith's stupendous film pro
duction is billed for Rhinelander
at the Armorv, April 7th, 9Th
and 9th, twice daily. The play
is too we'll known to need com.
ment. Company 81" of the Wis
consin National Guard has Sc
cured the production and their
efforts will be appreciated by
many who would otherwise be
unable to see the play.
The Birth of a Nation" com
bines spectacle, romance, domes-
tic drama, comedy, tragedy,
music and mechanical effects in
harmonious ensemble that cap
tivates equally the eye and the
ear. In a presentation lasting Z
hours and As minutes, it eplto-
mixes the life of a nation. This is
something the art could never
do. The absolete so-called "stage
unities" are thrown to the winds
and Griffith carries the magnifi-
cent story from the introduction
j of African slavery right down
through Civil War and recon.
struction DAYS to the final real
| union of the North and South in
the bonds of love and peace. A
3O-piece symphony orchestra &C.
companies the play.
Efforts are being made to Sc
cure a special excursion along
the Watersmeet-M onico branch
for Sunday, April 9th.

CROATIANS ORGANIZED
Perfect the Formation of a
Credit Exchange in Colony
East of Town-Co-opera-
ton is KEYNOTE.

Six families of Croatians. the
pioneers of the Croatian colony
OF "Velebit" have built homes in
the town of Washington, east
of Cranberry lake. These are the
vanguard of over twenty fam
lies who have purchased land in
colony of "Velebit" since last
August and who will make their
homes in Villas county.
From the east shore of the
Adriatic Sea, the Croatian brings
traditions of mu1uality and CO.
operative effort which he will
practise in the new home. The
Zadruga a Croatia institution
has been identified with the his
tory of these people in far off
Croati for many generations. In
a modified form, it will be adap-
ted to conditions in "Velebit. "
The Croatian Farmers Credit
Exchange has been organized by
the resident group and proposes
a pooling of the credit of the
local group for the purchase of
dairy cattle, farm tools, for the
breeding of Guernsey cattle,
specializing on market varieties
OF seed potatoes, Strawberries
and cooperative marketing Of
the community products.
The following officers have
been elected by the Credit Ex-
change: Joseph Hrabrich, Presi-
dent; Alex Schober, Secretary;
Paul Rescan, Treasurer; Audit
ing Committee Joseph Dekanic,
Steve Bacic, Mike Valencia. The
group has the support and en-
dorsement of leaders of the race
in the United States who are
watching the experiment with a
great deal of interest. Already
about forty more families have
signihied their intention of join
ing the "Velebit" colony this
year.

Trout Must Be Seven Inches.

Under provision of the amend

under seven inches, the same as
is now in vogue in Michigan.
With the rapid approach of the
season for this specimen of the

to the sportsmen to know just
what changes have been made IN
the laws relating to trout fish

number of trout which can be
caught in day still applies; that
of forty-fve. The new statute

The Aroonauts of 1854.

On account of very foolish address,
carried over by the lord mayor and
merchants of London to Louis Ma
poleon, after the coup d'etat which
made him emperor, and mischievous,
as well as ludicrous, deputation of
Quakers. who, under pretense of being
peacemongers, went to pay homage to
the Emperor Nicholas at St Peters
burgh, and TO persuade him that he
might do what he liked with Turkey,
without any danger of English inter
ference. laid a bill on the table of the
house of lords to prohibit the subjects
of this country from having any inter
course with foreign governments in
public affairs. unless with the sane
ton of the crown. had as precedent
an act of the American congress, and
for the principle had the high author
ity of Mr. Burke, in denouncing as
reasonable the mission by Mr.. Fox of
Mr.. Adair, to the Empress Catherine,
at the time of the Russian armament.

ALL SUMNER FROcKS GIVEN A
DRESsY APPEARANCE.
appropriate and Elaborate Trimming
Marks the Apparel OF the Season
Clever Touches in Evidence
on All Garments.

Even the simplest summer frocks
are dressy this year, due TO the fact
that great deal of trimming is fea-
tured on the skirts, and also to the
variety in sleeves, collars and vests,
as well as sashes. Ribbon sashes pre-
dominate, but many dainty little cotton
net dresses have sasheS of self-mate-
rial edged with tiny ruffles. Where a
net and organdie fabric combination is
worked out the sash may be of organ
die with ruffles of net.
Elbow sleeves are popular, and they
may be finished with fiaring single,
double or triple frills. Many clever
little vest, fiehu or surplice fastenings
are shown.
Evening frocks combining such sheer
materials as crepe de chine and taffeta,
net and silk chiffon and charmeuse,
point d'esprit and plain net or silk are
shown. Dresses of this type are ex-
cellent summer selections, as they are
suitable for lawn parties, dinner and
other evening occasions, and they need
not be expensive if care is taken in
the selection and blending of fabrics.
The frock here illustrated is an ex-
ceptionally smart model for develop
ment of any number of the summer
fabrics that are fashionable. AS orig

usual because there were no flowers.
She used lace doilies, and in the CEN
ter was little Dresden figure, whose
bouffant skirt was pink satin pin
cushion filled with needles and pins
There were four Dresden candlesticks
with tall pink candles surrounding the
lady, and the dishes containing the
nuts and candies were small Dresden
baskets. AT each cover was tiny
sewing bag made of Dresden ribbon.
The pasteboard bottom was stuck full
of pins and it opened up for needle
book.
On the place cards was written,

OF course, when they read this the
guests all became suspicious at once,
and then the hostess showed them the
new ring she was wearing on her third
finger.

BIRD VIOLATES UNION RULES
Martin Works Sixteen Hours Day
in Labor That Greatly Benefits
the Farmer.

Union hours do not bother the mar
tin. He will spend as many as 16
hours day working as a farmland.
He doesn't pitch hay, or harvest oats,
but he does something almost as valu-
able-destroys harmful beetles. Since
he always establishes himself in col-
onies, you can see why the farmer
would wish him to settle in his neigh
borhood. He is member of the swal-
low tribe
So the farmer who wants to invite
these birds puts up colony houses for
them Instead of one-roomed tene-
ments. like those erected for the wren
and the bluebird. the martin wants a
hotel. with as many rooms as thu
landlord wants to provide.
The birds. which arrive here about
April 5. viii return to one of these
houses year after year. Formerly they
were more numerous than now-the
English sparrow drove many away
About the middle of August the mar
tin gathers his relatives and friends
in flock and starts south again.
The martins feeding ground covers
territory within a radius OF three
miles from his home. With 200 or 500
birds feeding Is hours a day over this
territory-do you wonder that the
farmer appreciates the purple MARTINI

quisette, combined with green and
white plaid marQuisette, is employed.
The bottom of the skirt is finished
with two tucks, applied mainly for the
purpose of giving a little stiffening or
body to the skirt, which is entirely I'M
rative as well. The three bias pieces
of plaid wolfe, stitched only at the
upper edge so as to give flOunce eff
feet, are each six inches wide when
finished. A lining of thin net is re-
quired for the bodice, which is draped
in surplice style, and fastened, as is
the skirt, the gown being a one-piece
affair, at the left side.
The skirt of this frOck is four yards
wide. Five yards of white wolfe, SO
inches wide, and three yards of plaid
wolfe are required for the gown. The
sash is of black velvet ribbon two
inches wide.
AS will be noted the upper section
of the sleeve is cut bell shape, but the
extra flare is confined in a pipe organ
fold, outlined on either side by row
Of small pearl buttons.
A dress of this type could be de-
veloped very attractively, using geor-
gette and taffeta as the materials, or a
little tub frock, employing white and
polka-dotted handkerchief linen, or
plain color chambray and plaid mer-
cerized gingham, would be effective.

Embroidery on the Blouse.

The vogue of hand embroidery is d
blessing for many reasons In that a
very exclusive touch can be given to a
garment. After examining the prices
charged for embroidered blouses and
frocks a woman can appreciate the
worth of her own hand-ornamented
garments.
At the present time there is a very
unusual way Of treating a BLOUSE.
The right side of closing is scalloped
and decorated with tiny sprays. The
edge Of the collar and cuffs is stamped
sn like manner. Beneath the stamped
lsrtion a piece Of cOlored material.
bfce or lavender, is sewed, sufficient be-
ing provided 10 extend beyond the
scalloped edge. The embroidering is
done through the two thicknesses Of
material. In order that the attached
piece will be effective the blouse
should be white so that the idea win
gain beauty by force Of contrast.

Fashions and FadS.

Skirts are generally ruffled.
Sports hats of felt are most ia
vored.
Flexible bracelets are very much
worn.
Drop earrings are increasing in IA
vor.
Short elbow sleeves are much be-
friIed.
Even baby dresses nowadays are
shocked.
Dolly boxes are being made of Gre
tonne.
Large pearl knobs are still seen on
handbags.
Some of the newest frocks have
short sleeves.
Your parasol may be any shape and
be fashionable.
Thick silk fringe Is being used on
English sports coats.
Long stoles of ermine and velvet are
worn this season.
The simply trimmed hats are decid-
eddy the most chic.
Long, full sleeves have deep gaunt-
let cuffs of linen.
Tailored suits of white pique are
among the new things.
New bathing suits are made of gay
figured materials.
Buffed alligator is coming into use
again for handbags.

Individual Touch Is Easy.

At this time of the year many at
tractive articles of dress are being Of
fered at bargain prices. One hest
tates to buy because the table on
which they are displayed holds so
many models of the same description.
There is something unpleasant about
meeting your frock or blouse on an
other person as you walk along the
street or when you attend a social
function. However, there is way to
take advantage of the reduced prices
and yet have something little differ
ent from the rest. This way refers to
hand embroidery.
If you are original you can use left
over threads and silks and embroider
very attractive designs on the collar,
cuffs, pockets or any available place.
If you cannot originate you can sure
ly find the type of design you want in
any needlework book or newspaper
printing embroider designs.
Now that applique work is so much
in vogue, one has another method of
adding an additional touch to a ready
made frock. Odd designs cut out
from contrasting colored material can
be neatly attached to many of the
bought summer frocks and thus trans
form their appearance.

Ideas for Table Decoration.

There is no lovelier time for parties
than now.
A very attractive luncheon table
may be made with little trouble. Paint
the handle of a toy broom white and
fasten it to q fiat board so it will stand
up in the middle of the table. Cover
the board with moss. Wind the pole
halfway down with pink and white
ribbons, then extend ribbon to each
cover, alternating the cOlors. Buy
small baskets and fill with arbutus.
Tie a ribbon to the handle of each
basket. The menu should follow the
color scheme as far as possible.
A tall vase of apple blossoms or a
glass basket of sweet peas with pink
tulle bow tied to the handle is very
effective for a pink luncheon.
A very simple menu would be toma-
to bisque in bOuillon cups, with
whipped cream; salmon with shrimp
sauce, peas and creamed potatoes,
salad of asparagus tips, the mayon-
naise colored pink with vegetable col
oring, strawberry ice cream and tiny
cakes iced in pink and white.
A very clever girl entertained her
sewing club at such a pretty luncheon

The Wife of Francois cassion.


1t is vague, all that transpired. l
knew then, and recall now, much Of
the scene, yet it returns to memory
more in a passing picture than an &C
tual reality in which was an actor.
But one clear impression dominated
my brain-my helplessness to resist
the command of La Barre. His word
was law In the colony. and from it
there was no appeal, save to the king.
Through swimming mist I saw his
face. stern, dark. threatening, and then
glimpsed Cassion approaching me, a
smile curling his thin lips. .shrank
back from him, yet arose to my feet
trembling so that l chung to the chair

"Do not touch me, monsieur" 1 said
in a voice which scarcely sounded like
my own. Cassion stood still. the smile
