$50 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There are other expositions OF
greater notably the Texas
and Minnesota State Fairs-but none
is better balanced or eXcels in class,
and few are equal from the point of
view of keeping stride with educational
progress.

the past three years in the Wisconsin
State Fair, citizens Of Wisconsin are
again giving the great Exposition their
confidence and patronage.

consin State Fair Of 1913 offer?
All basic departments Of the State
will be as strong as it is possible to
make them.
The cattle, swine and sheep divi
sions will not only present mammoth
arrays, but quality will be improved
This will be especially true Of the cat
tie department. for at least three
champion herds never before seen in
Wisconsin will be present this year
The 1917 poultry show was most
highly recommended, yet the 1918
poultry show will far surpass that Of
1917.

poultry are: Horses, $10,170.00 cat
tie, $10,42400; sheep, $4,049.O0; swine

CHILD WONDER ON
 LYCEUM PROGRAM

Doraldina is outdone! The girl who popuIarized a trained form of St. NituS dance under the name of the 'hu1a-huIa" and set ballroom dancers from New York to San Francisco Wiggling a la Hawaii is forced to take a back seat. all because little Mary Pagan, daughter of "NOddleS' Pagan, the popular vaudeville performer has brought that now we'll known form of dissip patton up a notch higher in the line of art. Mary is i'll a, class by her. self and if the statement is doubted. ask anyone of the hundreds that packed the Lyceum theater yesterday afternoon and last evening, and they will VOuch for it's veracity.
 Billed as the Noodles Pagan trio, the second act on the Lyceum bill yesterday opened as any ordinary act, Pagan putting his stuff over in eX- cellent style and his wife doing her bit to make the act interesting and entertaining. Yes, but how do they figure a trio, with only two persons on the stage?" the audience asked An, ha, we shall see. Enter Miss Mary, all dressed up in a gown of simmer ing, shining something, and with the cutest sort of snil imaginable play ing about her lips.
 Marys bit was to sing something about Carolina, and then initiate a cabaret girl in New York after mid night when the crowd is feeling good and yelling for some high kicks. She did that in fine style, and then came the south sea isle stuff. Just like they dress along the beach at Waikaikai, or at least like they are alleged to be dressed, Mary romped out in front of the footlights and while the orchestra gave her 'They're Wearing Them Higher In Hawaii, Mary hula -hulaed. The house almost came down while the little girl with grace that would make Mrs. Castle envious went through the Wiggles She had every thing the professionals ever presented, and she went over amid a. thunder of applause.
 The headline act, Princess Marc slava and her four Serbian musicians presented a, list of selections that stamped the act a winner.
 The Vernons opened the bill in ex- cellent style. They can handle them selves and barrels and tables and any thing else like a tango bug leading a cotillion, right at home.
 Topping the motion picture bill is ''The ManX Man. an adoption of Hall Gaines noted novel of the same title. The same bill will be at the Lyceum today and tom orroW.

eWS For zhedter80erS and Women RedderS--
LAST SHOWING OF
 "GARDEN OF ALLAH"

Tonight will offer the last oppor- trinity of seeing that big Selig photo play, ''The Garden of Allah" at Fox's theater. The picture has been success from it's first appearance here, and has caused moro comment than any similar attraction that has ever been seen here. It tells, in a most graphic manner, of the unusual ex- perience of an English girl, Domini Enfilden who, to escape the memo ries of her miserable home life, takes herself to the Great Sahara desert, in search of peace. There she meets the stranger who was destined to wield so important an influence in her life. The scene wherein she learns. after their honeymoon, that he is a renegade Trappist Monk, is one of the most tense things that has been done into pictures
 Earl Williams, the popular Vita graph star. will appear in the big feature, The Mothers Sin" which will be on the program tomorrow and Thursday. It is a tale of man who Wreaks on his son the hatred of his faithless life. In this powerful drama the father permits the son to go the pace and then, when he is hope lessly in debt, disinherits him in the hope of gloating over his disgrace But the son thwarts him to the ex- tent of leaving the country, and the father, dying, realizes the great in justice he has done. He makes a new will which does not come to light for several years. Meanwhile, a prof1i- gate. nephew gets the estate and almost wins the girl that the son loves, but finally the will is diScoV- cred, and all turns out happily. An other feature of tomorroWS show will be "The Vagabond," one of Char lie Chaplin's funniest two-rcel come dies.

LES MISERABLES"
 BILLED FOR FOX'S

Agernon SWinburn, poet laureate of England, wrote the life of Victor Hugo for the Encyclopedia Britanni- ca and said that Hugo was undoubted- . ly the greatest writer born since Will liam Shakespeare"
 He regarded Les Misera bles the most melodramatc of all Victor Hugo's melodramas and said regard ing it:
 Les Miserables, the grea test epic and dramatic work of fiction ever created or conceived; the epic of 8 soul transfigured and redeemed; puri- fled by heroism and glorified through suffering; the tragedy and comedy of life at it's darkest and it's brightest, of humanity at its best and at it's worst.'
 Les Miserables has also been re- ferred to by other equally distin- guished writers as ''The Gospel of the Poor,' and next to the Bible the great est work ever written.
 A magnificent perturbation of Les Miserables, produced by William Fox with William F'arnum playing the part of the immortal Jean Valjean will be shown at FoX's theater for 5 days beginning on Friday Les Mis- erables comes direct from it's eight weeks run at the Lyric theater, New York city

 She told me that the pictures we see everywhere, the chubby faced, looking being, are not the pic- lures of the present Hoover.
 ''It is simply pitiful to see the way he has changed'' she said. His face is thin and haggard and two or three times the tears rose to his eyes. You see, he has been there and he knows how fearful the need is, and he knows the inside of the situation i'm this coun- try, and it is terrible to him that he can't make people take things more seriously ,.a+ It seems to me that Hoover is doins- what he can for the people of this country and I think there are two things the people of this country ought to do for Hoover.

 There is one man in this country whom from the bottom of my heart l pity.
 He is not a. man who has lost his work by the war, nor has he suffered any terrible physical injury, nor, so far as | know, has he had to give any one he loves best to be added to the cruel sacrifice of youth.
 No, his name is Herbert Hoover, and l pity him for having on his shoulders d task gigantic enough to bow Atlas to the ground.
 cannot tell you how often, when l have been talking with business men, 1 have heard it said,
 ''Oh, this man or that has gone on to Washington to see Hoover"
 Some regulation has been passed which has affected his business, and straightway off he rushes to put in 8 plea for his special case.
 Listening Through Other Mems Ears
 And Hoover must listen---or, even more difficult, listen through his dep uties-and decide. . z-.
 If the issues were blacks and whites it wouldn't be the easiest position in the world. But oh, how far they are from being black and white!

most efficient resulting in the

Hay and Straw Loss and Gain
Account

ANSVuht
A car of good hay from Kro-
man, is expected last of this, or
first of next week. That will
finish the import of roughage for
this season. There are about four
tons of oat straw at the loading
track from the last car, stacked
and covered with canvas. l have
about $45 invested in it and no
use for it. Won't some of those
who filed orders for straw, and
either cancelled their orders or
neglected to call for same when
notified, take this straw off my
hand, say in ] ton lots each? The
account of each car is on file and
you are invited to call and look
them over. aimed to collect
Csc alton above the actual cost
and freight. Four cars show a
total gain of $17.13 and on the
balance a combined total loss of
S48.52, caused by demurrage,
short weight, shrinkage by
broken bales not taken, and over
charge in freight. With the
straw on hand I have S76.39 tied
up to date thru no fault of mine.
l am in hopes to receive some of
that money.
Now in regard to the Askov
American we have been impos-
ing upon your space by these
frequent notices for which l can
offer you nothing but our COM
bined thanks and you might feel
that you have served a good
cause in critical time.
With telephone system a
large percentage of loss on these
cars could have been eliminated
and much labor and worry on my
part saved. l sincerely hope I
shall not be tempted to under
take a similar service before we
have a farmers telephone.
