EASTERN PIERCE COUNTY
FARMERS TO HAVE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Ellsworth Record)

Electric lights and power to the
farmers door is at last to be realized
by the building of an electric trans
mission line from Waverly to Plum
City and Maiden Rock and to serve
the farmers along the way. A rural
distributing company is to be formed
with consumers served as stock
holders and directors and officers ap-
pointed from the farmers and towns
served. Electricity is to be purchased
wholesale at Waverly at Az down to
&c per K. w. Hours from the Wiscon-
sin-Minnesota Light & Power Co.
The Sterling Electric Co., Zone of the
largest construction companies in the
Northwest) has representative aid
ing in starting the line. Pierce county
is an ideal location for an electric line
as the community is very thickly pop
ulated and the lowest rate for depend
able power is available.
1t is hoped that the subscription will
soon go over the top for they are
signing up rapidly. The bringing on
of this great helper to everyone, cleo
tricity, will be welcomed by all.

Thousands of missionaries are be-
ing mailed today from the adjutant
generals department to Wisconsin
soldiers to ascertain the number
likely to take advantage of a law
providing free education with $50 a
month for war veterans.

schools or regular institutions of
learning will be attended by soldiers
sufficient to justify law on the
matter special session of the legis-
lature may be called to enact the
necessary laws. If the referendum
on Sept. 2 results in favor of a
soldiers bonus law, both matters
may be considered at the same
session.

deducted, netted ,s87.70. This was
divided equally between the League
and the band, each organization re-
ceiving $43.85.
The ladies of the League are to be
congratulated UPON the excellent
manner in which they handled the
affair, and the band received splen-
did praise for the fine program reE-
dered at the social.
Manager Linehan wishes us to- ex-
press the appreciation of his organi-
zation for this fine support from the
League and from the people of this
community. He says, eve want it
understood that the band is always
ready to donate it's services upon all
occasions of public benefit. We're
out to boost River Falls"

Walter Glass had his new horse,
"Creston,' out on the track for the
first time. The horse is a beauty
and drew lots of favorable COM
ment.. Although green at racing,
and nervous, he made good show
ing in the Gentlemen's Driving

under Mr.. Glass, this beauty will be
a contender in fast company.
The first round of the 2:4O Glass
