Previous to the banquet the mes

Chase, paraded the streets and serc-
naded The Bee office
The messengers were lords OF all
they surveyed in the banquet hall.
A beckoning motion of their finger
brought white-coated walters and the
boys were not slow to issue mandates
to "garcon."

BOHEMIAN SOLDIERS
FIGHT FOR FRANCE
Charles Pergler Predicts That
His Country Will Stay With
the Entente Allies.
NO SYMPATHY FOR AUSTRIA

Bohemian citizens and soldiers are
traitors to aust, ia Hungary and they
glory in the fact. Bohemian rcgi-
ments are fighting and will fight ef-
fectwely for the entente allies until
doom quakes the ancient regime Of
the Hapsburgs and gives to Bohem-
ians merited autonomy"
The foregoing is the substance Of
what Charles Pergler. Crisco. la,
told all audience Wednesday night in
the city council chamber His au-
ditors frequently interrupted him as
he told of the perhdy OF Austria to
Bohemian men, f. J. Kutak, prcsi-

orator as native Bohemian and a
staunch American"

Bohemian volunteers are fighting
for France ever since Austria sent its
unwarranted ultimatum to Serbia" )"
said the speaker. Bohemian officers
and privates have fought with and
are still in the army of Serbia.
The Bohemian -Slovak sharpshoot-
ers' regiment with the Russian army
are among the best fighters in the
czar's army and they volunteered for
service after being captured
Thanks to Bohemians.
The detection of Czech troops in
Serbia and Galicia explains many an
Austrian defeat. And in one Of the
recent military reports to the French
staff we find the terse, but certainly
expressive. statement:
'"'Thanks to the Bohemian conf
pany we we're able to hold the vii
lage and take $50 Of the enemy as
prisoners.
Only recently a cablegram brought
a report about debate in the Hun

against the Bohemian regiments

American-Made
Dolls for Children
Are Sold This Year

Little brother and his destructiyely
inquisitive hands are baffled this
Christmas, insofar as little sisters S
dollies are concerned, says Thomas
Redmond, general manager Of Bur-
gess-Nash company. This year dolls
made of papicr mache, plaster Of paris
and other plastic substances are
passe. Instead, nearly all dolls are
made of wood and, in addition, in
stead of being made i'll Europe, are
made in America.
On account of the war the supply
OF dolls was cut down greatly, and
toy shops were compelled to seek
elsewhere for substitutes. In chang
ing from the old custom Of import
ing dolls the idea of wood was intro
duced. Now the dolls are made en-
tirely of wood, and are better in
every way than those of few years
ago, besides being indcstructible.
Machinery is employed in molding
the little wooden heads and bodies
and then the faces are hand colored.
Arms and legs arc so made as to be
twistable into any position, and even
the head and neck may be made to
move. Some of the wooden dolls can
open and close their eyes and few
are even equipped with bellows at
tachment, which, when squeezed,
makes a pleasing imitation Of cry
ing infant. A
According to Mr.. RedHond the
wooden dolls are being sold in enor :
nous quantities. The youngsters
like them better than the old kind,
because of the mechanical perfection
and parents like them because Of
their permanency.
Besides dolls nearly all the other
toys being sold this Christmas are
made in America.

Advises 1Don't Take
George Too Seriously"

Amsterdam (Via London), Dec,
2l.-Thc Cologne Gazette says: .~
THE language Of the British prime
minister must not be taken too
seriously We are taught this by
some reflections on English peace
conclusions in the past. such as that
in which it lost the United States,
and the peace OF Amiens in 1902.
There is a limit where the blindest
obstinacy finds itself confronted with
the impossible and this limit is be-
ing brought nearer and nearer by our
submarines. Another possible con-
tingency compelling England to
make peace would be the secession OF
one of her allies"

AS stated last week we hereby rem
der an account of the first annual ex-
hibition of the Villas county Agri-
cultural Society.
For several days in advance Eagle
River and vicinity had been freely
decorated with banners and adYer-
tising matter calling attention to,
and boosting the Dairy Cattle Show,
and county of the Dairy Dollar. 1t
may be unknown that the idea of
this now popular slogan originated
with R. FL. Beebe of the Sanborn Co.
and that he generously donated the
design to Villas county for its benfit
or any of it's citizens.
A heavy night-before-the-fair rain
of course fell and prevented some
from attending who had planned to
and to some extent reduced the num-
Der of entries. However, Eagle River
entertained the largest number of
farmers ever gathered here in one
day. And believe us they were sure
boosters for the fair. After many
had left che grounds it occurred to
G. w. Cheever to do what should
have been thought of before. He
passed the membership list around
and secured fifty-fye new members
as fast as they could put their names
down which shows how the farmers
feel toward the fair.
Masonic Hall .transposed for the
day into Agricultural Hall was one
in every sense of the word. The walls
were lined with grains in the sheaf,
different varieties Of clover, miIlet,
soy beans and corn in the bundle.
Some of the latter samples were
over eleven feet in heighth and
cared in proportion.
Threshed grains occupied consider
able space and were exceptionally
good in all varieties shown.
In vegetables, potatoes occupied
more space than anything else and
here again quality reigned supreme.
