Cupid Aler, as Ever.

There's no let up with Cupid, the
greatest gamester and trapper of all
time On Tuesday of last week. the
Ii, another of his plans became per
fected and was first brought 20 light at
Galena, Ill. Rev. John Hardcastle was
summoned from platteville to sign and
seal the official documents Mr.. William
Wilfred Paynter, son Of Mir. and Mrs.
Josiah Paynter of this city, and Miss
Minnie +. Clark of Miiilin, are the
parties upon whom the event will have
lifelong effect.
AS every reader hereof will guess
the first time trying, this has reference
to a marriage.
The bride is a graduate of the Min
eral Point high school, class of 1917,
and is fine, bright young lady. The
groom was graduated from the same
school in 1872 and two years after from
the Stout Training Institute. He is clean
cut, sturdy and persevering. They will
reside at Everett, Mimi, where "Wit"
has been engaged to teach plumbing.
The young couple have many admir-
ing friends in this community, all of
whom, we feel confident, join The Trib-
une in extending congratulations and
the hope that they will realize fully
the very best there is in life.

Camp az Not Moral Uplift.

We don't know that the Fair asso-
citation is at all to blame, but that
Camp 40" on the midway was one of
the rsnkest things that ever struck
Platteville, and Platteville is accus-
toned 10 being struck semi-occasion-
aIly or little oftener. You know all
these shows are ehaperoned or censored
by the state administration, and what
they say goes. Considerable is alleged
to have gone off at this joint. A mid
way at its best is not particularly re-
fined and moral uplift, but many seem
to enjoy that class Of vaudeville and,
as long az they do, we will continue to
have such shows. Platteyille Witness.

Red Cross Auction on Saturday a Great
Succes---Nearly $40o Realized

! The auction sale. given by the people
of Mineral Point for the benefit of the
! Red Cross, was great success. Nearly
! four hundred dollars was realized from
the donations, almost every child even,
contributing a full share. We realize
| the wonderful amount of work the Red
Cross of Mineral Point has been able to
do because of the splendid backing of
our people yet we plead hopefully for
more workers for the work and more
knitters for the knitting. We women
have contributed generously Of our
pocketbooks, but must give more of our
time October LIST is the limit of
time set for our six hundred and eighty
articles of knitting to be completed.
We shall be the only branch of the
Madison Chapterwhich has not accom-
plished the amount appointed, if we do
not have it by that time.
These knitted articles are for United
States soldiers now in France, and each
society has been apportioned certain
share of them according to its member
ship. The effort is made to give each
American soldier in France, for the
coming winter, one of each of the four
knitted articles The men who go from
here will be either in southern training
camps or in barracks where they win
a 4 =
at least; but the men in France need
them now. Put off your fall cleaning
and sew until after October LIST and
knit, knit, knit -
Editors Note. To Col f. f. Dav-
isson who labored SO vigorously and eff
fectively as auctioneer throughout the
hours the sale lasted, special praise
and thanks are due.

PARK AVENUE
TO BE PAVED

Residents on Park avenue have
started a movement to pave the
street this ummer, according to
information given Commissioner
Atkins Friday.
If the petition is accepted, Park
avenue will be paved from 3Sth
street to 96th, and pavement will
be laid on seth from Park to Pa
cific ave.
This will eliminate South Pa
cific ave. as part of the Mountain
boulevard. A movement to pave
Pacific last year failed because Of
objections on the part of owners
in that district.

AT KAISER

IL Librarian Kaiser would put
the Tacoma library on a business
basis, and attend to 1t personally.
instead OF running about the state
clamoring for more money. there
would be no trouble in conducting
the department on its present ap-
preparations, according to a state
ment prepared by Mayor Fawcett
Friday.
Fawcett takes issue with asser-
lions made before the members
council of the Commercial club
Wednesday, when that body
adopted a resolution calling on
the city to grant the library ST.
500 additional for general ex-
penses.
The library does not need the
additional money, Fawcett says.
and it is keeping closed mornings
in order to raouse sentiment IN
favor of larger appropriations, so
that Kaiser can further install his
fancy frills of library work.
Poor Taxpayer.
Fawcett declares that every otn-
err municipal department has had
its expenses cut to the bone, with
out making half the wall that
Kaiser is doing.
Librarian Kaiser is like too
many public servants" said the
mayor. "As soon as they get
Job. instead of figuring on how
to get the most for the people with
the money at hand they begin con-
turing for new ways to add to the
tax burdens.
To-day we have the spectacle
of Kaiser and his board closing
the library, embarrassing the peo-
ple and then prosecuting a propa-
ganda for more money; DR.. Rich
and DR.. Henry and their follow
ers are besieging the women's
clubs and trying to arouse them
TO demnad more money for health
work; the insurance fraternity and
others with special interests are
backing other officials to ask the
city to borrow money for new fire
equipment: others want more po-
lice to enforce the law; on every
hand some special clique Is at
work to get more from the people
for their particular hobby or in
terest.
And the poor taxpayer has to
foot the bill"
