Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never had q
moyment OF the bowels without it is
produced by a catharic Most of them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral waters
and strong catharies that take too
much water out of the system and ag-
gravate the disease they are meant
TO relieve. A mild laxative tonic ike
Cham5erlain's Tablets affords a gentle
movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by
s medicine. and their use is not so
likely TO be followed by constipation.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

All the members of the faculty with
the exception of Mr.. Painter are
again on duty.
For everyone who is tardy a penal
ty of forty-fiye minute session after
school is paid and this has greatly
diminished the number of tardy cases.
The school cafeteria has been well
patroniZed and the menus have been
very attractive, varying from day to
day.
WaShington's birthday was cele-
brated Friday in the form of a patri-
otto pageant at the close of school.
This program was very well given
and very beautiful. The important
stages in the history of our country
from the time of John Smith were
represented by the important charac-
tiers of the times. All the costumes
were in keeping with the days which
they represented. This was under
the supervision of Miss Jawort and
was one of the most enjoyable pro-
grams Of the year.
The students were all very excited
over the Amigo game Friday, which
was attended by the largest number
of the year. A rousing mass meeting
was held in the afternoon and mem
bers of the team and of the faculty
gave short talks.
A large crowd of Amigo people
came over to see the game, but went
home disappointed, for the local team
outclassed them in every respect, and
they were defeated by score OF AZ to
IL. The team work of the Wausau
five showed much improvement over
the last game played on the home
floor. Ziebell played his usual excel
lent game, and was aided by the
splendid cooperation of the other
members of the team. Kampine and
Lipman were put out in the early
part of the game because they were
lighting, but despite the fact that the
team was without Kampine's guard
ing the scoring continued. With the
record the WauSau team has OF win
ming every game of the season there
should be a good chance of getting
state honorS. The hardest game will
be played next Friday with Marsh
field on their floor. WauSau won
over Marshfield by three points earlier
in the season, but the popular rumor
is that the opponents have greatly
improved since then. A large num-
er of rooters are planning accompany
ing the team to back them up as
much as possible.
The line-ups of the Friday night
game were as follows:
Wausau-lf, Sturtevant: RI, Gold
stein; C, Ziebell; lg, Kampine; re-, Re-
detzke. Subs, WinetZki for Kampine,
Riebe for SturtevanU, Barlow for lie
bell, and Ziebell for Winetzki.
Antigo-rf, NJ. HickOk; If, McCor-
mick; C, w. Hickok; re-, Kamkeim;
lg. Lipman. Subs, Berne for Lipman.
Referee, Il. A. Halvorson of the
Franklin school.
A preliminary game was played
between the fathers and sons, the
latter winning by a score of % TO 3.
The Wausau second H. S. team
played the Grand Rapids second H.
S. team recently at Grand Rapids, the
former winning by score of 10 to s.
The Wausau team is composed of the
following: Geo. Belanger, If; Carl
Spiegel, lg; Walter Reinke, RI; Eugene
Hoefer, center, and Clarence Neuge-
bauer, re-. The same team, including
Ivan Levenhagen, will go to Marsh
field Friday, Feb. 9th, to play the
second team of the high school OF
that city.

mary election but all candidates will go

more or less talk as to who will be his
successor. Among those talked about
for the position are c. A. Barwig and
Emil Flatter. The socialists will have
candidate in the field and from all indi-
cations it will be Assemblyman Herman

Taking Blood Stains From Feathers.

Make strong solution of salt In wa

cloth with it. Wrap feathers up in
cloth and keep until blood gets soft.
When soft rub out with gentle press

feathers with blood on, and rubbing

goose or other feathers for cushions

An Iowa Farmers Opinion

w. G. Kerr of Grundy Center, Ia,
spent several days here last week look
ing after his farming interests. He
has two half section farms here and
believes that land should sell for $500
an acre just the same as in Iowa, also
that clover and corn raised here will
build up the land just the same as
there. He has held his land here for
many years and is not anxious to dis
pose Of it. Mr.. Kerr in August sold
a tract Of land in Iowa for $1250.O0 an
acre. with no Improvements, and does
not think there is that much differ
ence between Iowa soil and his land
up here. He raised from 40 to as
bushels Of oats per acre for two years
and Iowa land does no better. Mr..
Kerr thinks that if corn is as we'll
cared for here as in Iowa that it will
do nearly as well. If farmers would
stop burning straw stacks, turn the
straw into fertilizer and use manure
spreaders to the limit he believes that
this country would see vast improve
ment in general land conditions.

INSTITUTE IS WELL ATTENDED
Large Enrolment of Teachers Enjo,
Interesting Session

The teachers annual institute OPEN
ed Monday of last week with nearly
a 100 per cent enrolment. Much
worthwhile work was done, for Pres
ident Black conducted the sessions in
his usual. thorough manner, and Miss
Bauer of Wahpeton, the primary in
structor, proved so helpful that many
teachers worked over time to obtain
the material she had to offer.
Miss Harris, the Palmer method
penmanship demonstration, filled a
long felt want in her work. Penman-
ship is a subject that can easily bear
more attention, particularly the Palm
er method. which we hope soon to have
in general use throughout the county.
Mr.. Penn, the club leader, discussed
club projects for the year and gave a
corn judging and corn testing demon
stration, laying particular emphasis
on improving varieties Of corn.
DIR. Brown, president of Epworth
college at Epworth, Iowa, delivered
the regular institute address Tuesday
evening. He discussed in an interest
ing and thorough manner the relations
ship Of the teacher to our American
ideals. DR.. Brown also delivered a
special address to the teachers We'd
nesday morning, discussing themes of
particular interest to them.
The program for Friday included a
grain grading and milk testing demon
stration and an address by Miss Min
ME ]. Nelson, state superintendent of
public instruction. Her address was
unusually inspiring and helpful and
was appreciated not only by the teach
ers and school officers, but by several
Glendale citizens as well.
The school officers meeting was
unusually interesting. The new Off
GERS elected for next year are: Pres
ident, j. w. Montgomery of Fuller
ton; vice president, ]. R. Morrow Of
Glendale; secretary-treasurer, Peter
Lind of Glover. A resolution was
passed approving the usual $40 fee for
Rally day from each district.
A suitable date for the next meet
ing was discussed and June % was de-
cided upon by those present as being
the most favorable.

COAL SITUATION VERY SERIOUS
Cabinet is Expected to Take Drastic
Action to Relieve Shortage

The acute fuel situation in the
northwest, as outlined in letter to
President Wilson by Judge McGee,
Minnesota's fuel commissioner, 10 be-
ing considered by the cabinet. The
president is taking personal interest
and it is expected some step will be
decided upon that will result in a
greater fuel movement to the north
west to avoid coal famine this win
ter. It is improbable that fuel ad-
ministrator will be appointed. The
reason is that it is late in the season
and if one is appointed he cannot be.
gin to function properly for at least
six weeks, when it will be too late to
do the northwest any good.
Conferences held Monday between
railroad managers and coal operators
resulted in an agreement for the ship
ment of 4,100 cars day to Lake Erie
ports for shipment up the lakes. The
agreement is now effective, but it is
probable this coal will not be moved in
full volume for several days. Cars
must be supplied to the mines, and
they will be sent there as rapidly as
possible. This movement is to con-
tinue until the close of navigation.
Judge McGee dictated statement
indicating that the dock companies at
Duluth and Superior were letting the
coal get away from them because they
would not go into the market and buy
at the prevailing prices. Canada, on
the other hand, is buying its supply Of
coal at high prices and has been able
to obtain larger percentage than it
had last year and 1918.

FIRST DICKEY
COUNTY FAIR
County Seat People Making Prepara.
tions to Handle Biggest Crowd
in History

All Roads Lead to Ellendale Today
Tomorrow and Friday

Three big celebration days are on
the program at Glendale, beginning
this morning and ending Saturday ev-
ening in blaze Of glory. The occas-
ion is the first annual Dickey county
fair.
While from all outside indications
this seems to be pretty much of an
Glendale show, inasmuch as no CO.
operation was asked of people living
outside the town, it is ostensibly a
county affair and we'll have to boost
for it.
A large number of Oakes people
left early this morning for the scene
Of the festivities, and several local
firms will have display booths.
The program is most impressive
and shows that the promoters of the
fair have been on the job early and
late. This afternoon at 1870 o'clock
the crowd will be entertained by aero
plane stunt fights. Following this
comes free street platform exhibi-
tion by johnson & Delano, introducing
a routine of somersaulting and knock
about feats; Alberto, the human knot,
and Chief Bow Arrow in novel In
dian act.
Beginning at a o'clock, Ed L. Hayes
will conduct poultry culling DEM
onstration, and a poultry association
will be organized. This will take
place in the city hall.
Another free open air exhibition be-
gins at 8 o'clock this evening.
Tomorrow morning, from 9 o'clock
until noon one Of the Agricultural
college professors will Judge the stock
entered in competition for prizes.
After the aeroplane fight and open
air exhibition Ex-President Worst of
the Agricultural college will deliver
a lecture at the opera house, and this
will be followed by the annual Farm
bureau meeting held for the purpose
of electing directors and an executive
committee for the coming year..
A home talent play will be given in
the opera house at 8 o'clock o. m.
The principal attraction Saturday
afternoon will be the annual meeting
Of the Live Stock Breeders associa-
tion, called to order by Joseph Paz-
andak, president, in the opera house
balcony. Election Of officers will be
held and various topics will be dis
cussed. All parties having pure bred
stock for Sale should be present.
Band concerts are scheduled for
each day and dance will be given in
the opera house every evening. The
state normal school invites all visitors
to inspect that institution while in
Glendale.
II the weather remains nice . biz
crowd should be on hand to lend al
the encouragement possible to the fair
management.
