HARVEST FESTIVAL
WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Excellent Exhibits in Every
Department.
Good Attendance From Sur
rounding Towns.

j Wabeno's Harvest Festival held here
last Friday and Saturday was the most
successful affair of the kind ever held
in Wabeno. The celebration this year
was larger and the attendance better
than last year, notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather conditions both days.
Wabeno ard Soperton people and prac-
tically all farmers in the town turned
out splendidly. The towns of Carter,
Padus, Blackwell, Laona and Crandon
were we'll represented.
The parade Saturday morning was a
long one and the best we have ever
seen in Wabeno. The floats and decor
ated autos were well gotten up. The
home band in their comical makeup
created much fun. The Crandon band
also furnished music during the entire
day. Prizes were awarded as follows:
Floats.

The stalls and hitching rails for
horses, cattle, calves and sheep were
we'll filled and some fine animals were
shown. Several good varities of pigs
were exhibited
The poultry exhibit comprised chick
ems of many varities and all were fine
specimens.
| Most of the races and contests took
place in the afternoon along Main
street. The horse race was perhaps
the most interesting of these events
and Rev. Giroulx won out over Mont
White.
The address by Atty. John w.
Reynolds of Green Bay was excellent
and he was given close attention and
heartily applauded by his hearers.
The dance Friday night at Ender's
hall was attended by record crowd
and neat sum was realized for the
! Festival.
The entertainment given at Neider's
hall Saturday evening by pupils of the
grades closed the Festival The hall
was packed to the doors and all were
well pleased with the program. The
way some of the little tots spoke and
acted their part was fine. Much credit
for the success of the entertainment is
due Miss Worthington, she having drill
led the pupils.
The exhibits from the field, garden
and orchard were shown in the town
hall and were of excellent quality.
Thare were over 500 exhibits in this
department alone and glance at the
monster pumpkins, squash, cabbages,
toma oes, rutabagas, turnips, apples,
Ipotatoes and other farm products should
convince anyone of the fertile soil of
Forest County.
The Women's section was one cf the
main attractions The entire court
room of the hall was given over to this
department and was well filled with
samples of fancy work, crocheting,
knitting, embroidery, tatting and in
| fants wear The samples of Red Cross
work attracted the attention of all.
Several large tables contained the ex-
hibits of the culinary department, home
made candies, canned fruit, pickles and
vegetables.
| The success of the Festival was due
| largely to the efforts of the committee
and they deserve the thanks of every
one, especially H. A. Welngartner, who
did good share of the work.

FOREIGN AUTO EXPORTS
SHOWING AN INCREASE
Over 1880 More Cars and
Trucks Sent Abroad Than
During Previous Year.

Figures issued by the department of
| commerce show that during the twelve
months ended June 30, 1917, the
United States exported S0,S11 automo-
biles and motor trucks, valued at $780,
95S,243, as compared with 77,499 cars
valued at S97. .465.S1l, during the pre-
ceding fiscal year. says the Automo-
bile Dealer and Repair
The increase in number of cars ex-
ported is due to the larger shipments
to most countries outside of Europe
which more than offset the decreases
III exports to Great Britain, France
and Russia due to import prohibitions
and lack of shipping facilities.
The fact that the aggregate value of
exports during the last fiscal year was
less by 6,507, 900 than in the pre-
ceding year, while the actual number
OF vehicles exported was greater by
3,3l2, is due to decreased shipments
OF trucks for war purposes, the aver
age value of which rs much higher
than the average value of passenger
cars exported to countries outside of
Europe
While the number of trucks export
ed fell off 5,28S In the year and their
aggregate value was l4,46S,233 less,
the shipments of passenger cars in
creased by $500 and their va.ue by
S69O,665. Great Britain and France
were still our largest markets, despite
their heavy falling off IN purchases.
The former bought SIS. 50S.442 worth
last year, mostly trucks, as against
$26, 1882 worth in the previous fis-
cal year. Frances imports were near
ly all trucks and amounted to $l4,- !
69l, 400, as compared with s19,137,9 9O4
in the ewelve months ended June 80, |
1916.
Owing to shipping difficulties and
internal political troubles, Russia's inn |
ports fell from a value of S15,6S6,S74l
in 1916 to s6,371,9 in the last fiscal |
year. Aside from the European coun-
tries, Canada is Americas best GUS
toner for motor cars, having increased
her purchases by nearly $4,000, 600
from S7,2S0.15 in 1916 to $l2,OSS,7S7 |
in 1917. Next comes Asia and Oceania, !
with imports of 9,716 cars valued at !
SlO,O9S,i20 last year--an increase OF |
81, i5O,927. Australia follows, with |
five thousand, valued at $4,213,S74. |
The British East Indies increased their |
purchases from $2,307.739 to $3,617,-
35l. In the Americas, after Canada, ,
the West Indies were our best market
for automobiles, to the extent of $4.-
072,647, an increase Of $f,24S,735 over
the year before.
The most remarkable increases !
however, are shown by Mexico and the
South American republics. Mexico's
commercial recovery is reflected by |
an increase from $409.7O0-to $1.S33,-
975 in the year. Agentina's imports
reached nearly S2,500,000. Brazirs
trebled. Chile's prosperity from her
nitrate mines resulted in an increase
from $576,777 to S1,9s2,53S. The rest
of South America took automobiles to |
the value of $1,s04,S27, as against
only s69S,9l1 the year before In ad-
dition to automobiles, the United !
States exported in the last fiscal year
23.435 automobile engines valued at
$2,S44.4O6; tires worth $12,33O,2OL
and parts worth s27,2S4,9S2.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 3.-With
the leaders of both major parties in
Ohio having warned the state of the
menace Of an anti-war vote in Tues
days city elections to be cast for
the socialist candidates, the United
Press today collected data from the
larger Ohio cities showing that the
socialist candidates in many In
stances are predicting tremendous
gains and victory.
All of the socialist candidates for
mayor are making their fight on an
antiwar platform. Governor Cox
and republican state headquarters in
Colum bus both have called on the
rank and file to overwhelmingly
repudiate the socialist candidates"
c.. E. Ruthenberg, socialist candi-
date for mayor here, who is under
federal sentence for opposing selec-

his election today. Men Of other
parties here admit he may triple his
vote of six thousand two years ago.
Canton, Hamilton, Toledo, Lima
and Akron socialists also claimed to-
day they would elect their mayoralty
candidates Tuesday. Youngstown and
Cincinnati socialists, while confident
of big gains, do not claim victory.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Russia's
decision to place the war burden on
her allies and temporarily cease
major military operations, brought
an optimistic reaction from this gov
ernment today.
The German retirement on the
Aisne front and the stiff Italian
stand against the Austro- German on
rush along the Tagliamento river in
northern Italy, lent further buoyancy
to the general military outlook here.
The United Press can state as the

1t has been known to the allied
powers for some time that Russia
must soon concentrate her strength
on cultivating the fruits Of her revo-
luton. For months she has done no
major fighting, due TO disorganiza-
ton and military confusion.
But this, in highest official OPINION
here was anticipated by the allies
AS outlined to the United Press to-
day: Russia has been trying to do
the impossible-make herself over at
home and fight a relentless foe at
the same time. She has not had a
clear pattern for the making over;
rather she has had too many pat

LONDON, Nov. 3.-With forces on

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, Nov. 3.-Germany is
making supreme efforts to meet
Americas aviation program. What
ever the number Of atrplanes and pi.
lots America may be able to con-
tribute by next spring, Germany will
duplicate the performance, II 1t Is at
all possible.
Documents taken on prisoners and
assembled today showed some extra
ordinary efforts by Germany to in
crease the number of her planes and
counter balance the aviation superior
ity which Americas contribution 9TH
erwise would bring.
Since last spring no less than twen-
ty-nine huge German factories for
merly engaged In production Of gem
eral war material have been converted
into factories for airplanes and hydro
planes .
I In addition, old establishedo arr
plane factories at Berlin, Cologne, AL
tanna, Johannisthal. Potsdam, Char
Gutenberg, Dresden, Spandau and 9th
er Industrial centers have been great
ly increased in size.
The Fokker factory has Just taken
over the largest plano factory in
northern Germany-the Bersina, at
Schwerin.
But not only is Germany increasing
her own production, she Is making
purchases of foreign countries. An
order for 25O Argus motors has been
placed with the Raderneskseedao at
Zurich.
simultaneously with this speed up
program in manufacture, Germany is
experimenting to improve her output.
Among the newer types now being
tried out is a 200 horsepower fighting
monoplane and a triplane Fokker. A
new bombing plane has also been de-
veloped-a two engined machine with
a carrying capacity Of LOO pounds OF
bombs. The motors are Mercedes
type, 260 horsepower and when fully
loaded, the planes are capable OF
climbing 10000 feet in thirty-fve
minutes.
Germany now figures an airplane is
"worn-out" after $50 hours of flight
At present her greatest weakness In
Is the propeller, as the
Germans do not seem to have suff-
cient supply Of the proper wood.
To provide the necessary pilots for
the German aviation program, the
authorities are offering ex-
ceptional facilities for all volunteers.
Some idea OF the degree Of perfec-
ton which the Germans are endeavor-
ing to put into their new program
may be gathered from the fact that a
new German plane recently forced to
land ON French soil was equipped
with an electrical apparatus for dry
ing the clothing and gloves OF the
aviator and at the same time fur
nishing current for wireless COM
