The first real snow storm of the
season greeted us the past week and
some places left snow drifts several
feet high. The school children can
now make real snow men out of
themselves, to their hearts content,
and to the. grief of their mittens, etc.
DR.. Jackson of Mosinee, was a pro-
fessional caller in Dancy the past
week.
The potato shippers at this place
were made happy the past week by
being supplied with refrigerator cars
in which to ship their products to
market. Due to the car shortage the
potato market at this place has been
ready for a post norton for some
time.
Work is progressing finely on the
transmission line through this place
running from Mosinee to Stevens
Point. A large number of men are
now employed by the Wisconsin VAL
ley Electric Co., putting on insolators.
Mrs. Thos. Kearney of Winton,
Mimi, visited in Dancy, the first Of the

Four different concerns are now

product.
Several of our young men were

That the world is not so large af-
ter all, was demonstrated recently
and forcibly. When we heard the
Tuscania had been lost we little
thought that two of our own boys had
struggled for their existence off from
the. coast of Ireland. Two days fol-
| lowing the accident, Mrs. ID. E. Rogers
at this place received an official tele-
| gram from Washington, d. c., that
their son Dell was among the sur
vivors, but up to now Rev. T. W.
! North, formerly from Edgerton, but
who with his family now lives on
their farm near Dancy. have not heard
that their son, Herchel North, who
was a member of the 107 Engineers,
and on the Tuscania had been saved,
his name not having appeared among
the list of survivors. The world sure
" sympathizes with those who lost
dear ones, but can be happy in the
thought that the number was not
greater.
There were twelve aliens registered
at Dancy within the prescribed time
Nearly all came to this country when
very young. and their fathers took
out their first papers and did not
realize the Importance of taking out
the second ones, and the younger
members of the family grew up think
ing they were American citizens, until
the crisis came.
Miss Ida JAM is visiting relatives
in Milwaukee.
Ed. Thompson and Earl Richmond
went to Chicago the past week.
