Military Training for Young Men.

A number of young men in this city
and vicinity having indicated their de-
sire to enlist in the Wisconsin National
Guard, it was suggested to Captain
E. N. Caldwell of GAINESVILLE, that a
platoon be organized in this city. In
accordance with this suggestion Capt.
Caldwell applied to the adjutant gener-
al of the state for authority to recruit
platoon with the intention of merging
it with a GAINESVILLE company and such
authority was granted.
Captain Caldwell advises that when a
sufficient number of men have enlisted
in this city to make a platoon of 80
men, he will detail an officer to visit
this city one or more times each week,
for the purpose of instructing the
rockies in military tactics.
The men thus enlisted may continue
with their regular duties or vocations
without removal from their homes, I'M
til ordered by the war department to
Camp Douglas.
Captain Caldwell will be in attend
ance at the loyalty meeting here on

The New Highway Trailer Factory.

The New Highway Trailer Factory. E
The process of organizing the High
way Trailer company in Edgerton is
under way with excellent prospects,
that the stock will shortly be subscribe
ed and the factory soon in operation.
The purpose is to incorporate for $780,,
600 capital, of which $4,000 is to be
paid the Edgerton Wagon Co. for it's
plant. j. W. Menhall of Beloit, who
controls patents, and his friends are to
put in sac, 900 and an effort made to
raise $50, 900 by local subscription. AL
ready four citizens have subscribed for
$1,000 each. The list is still open for
any who desire to join in promoting a
local factory in Edgerton. The shop
will be equipped to manufacture both
two and four wheel trailers for which
has developed an enormous demand.
Like the automobile business the build
ing of trailers is largely an assembling
proposition and even a small factory
can turn out large orders quickly. Mr..
Menhall is confident the trailer bust
ness is just in its infancy and the best
field yet opened for automobile acces-
series. He invites any who wants to
get in on growing factory to join his
enterprise for now is the time.

Telling Of the neU hand bags Priced S3.95 and S4.95

A question we hear quite often these days is: What are they wearing this season." And an other question that is asked al- most as frequently is: What are the new hand bags like?''
 So for the information of inter ested femininity will say that the new hand bags display as much of practicability as they do of novelty. As the tailored suit is the more favored costume for winter, the plain bag to harmon ize with it Is the more favored bag. Of course, for fancier cos tunes there are fancier bags.
 The new bags here now are in conventional shapes of fine Mo rocco and pin seal. Made with hanging handles on the larger sizes, and ir purge shapes with hack straps on the smaller ones. Double framed bags are very pophlar. very practical and very pretty also, being usefully fitted inside and attractively silk. lined.

Loveman, Joseph & Loeb
 Fur talk

Now that the season IOT UuylHS LUIS is at its height and the chill of bleak October days sets us to thinking of soft warm furs, we feel that there are some things that we'd like to say in this connection:
 Furs are the most deceptive things in the world. Stores speak of Hudson Seal, 7 of "Mole,' of "Fox" and of "Kolinsky' in most confident man ner, expecting their customers to know that only furs selling at the highest prices arc genuine Hudson Seal and Fox, etc. To all purposes and intents these furs are what they seem to be, but in the Loveman, Jos eph & Loeb Fur Store you must know just exactly what you are buying. You are told that Hudson Seal is seal dyed muskrat. You are told that fox is either natural or dyed. You are told just exactly what eacR piece of fur is, by people who know just exactly what they are talking about. Buying fur under such condi- tions is safe buying fur under any other condition is risky proposition.
