SEEMS LIKE CIRCUS"
NO MORE FOR RINGLING
BROTHERS SELL OUT

Without the name Ringing, fam
Gus throughout the land, it will hardly
seem possible there can be a circus.
II. II. Tammen and F. G. BOnfils of
Denver have purchased the Sells
Floto circus, Ringing, Barnum and
Bailey, HoWes London and Yankee
Robinson shows.
Some thirty-fve years ago, August
Ringing, ST., had a harness shop on
Main street, in Rice Lake. In front
of the store was a large wooden horse,
and he advertised his store as the
Shop with the Big Wooden Horse"
There were seven boys in the family,
and one daughter. Five of the boys
started out from there with a concert
company having music, acrObatic
stunts and athletic tumbing. Soon
they secured a few bears, and wild
cats, all from Northern Wisconsin,
and this was the start of their mena-
gerie.
Start Out
They ventured into the circus bust
ness on a larger scale, and met with
wonderful success. When they started
out, they were all smooth faced young
fellows, so many will recall who saw
their posters of the early circus days.
Mr.. Ringing, ST., sold out in Rice
Lake and moved to Baraboo, which
became the home Of all the boys, and
the winter quarters of the circus.
All of the boys won wealth and
fame, but the most of them died be
fore reaching the fifty year mark. Of
thr seven brothers, only Charles and
John are now living
Al Ringling built an opera house
costing one hundred thousand dollars
and presented it to the city of Bara-
boo. He also built the finest home in
BarabOo, which is now occupied by
the only sister of the boys with her
family.

Fresh air is as important at night
as during the day.
The nurses have taken every posi-

to all people. Health work was
brought to the front and given promi-
nence in some form or another at
health contests, clinics, the county
fair, and SO forth. AS the county is
exceptionally large the nurses have
not visited every portion of the coun-
ty or every school, and thus far their
work has been confined mostly to
rural districts away from the viii

SNOW NOT SUFFICIENT
FOR HAULING LOGS TO
DELAY WORK SOME

Sig. Arneberg, who is in charge of
logging operations for the Heinemann
Lumber company, said today that
work in the woods at present limited
to cutting, skidding and decking and
that while a few logs were hauled af-
ter the heavy snow. last month in the
town of Pine River, all further haul
ing will probably be deferred until
after Christmas as the present snow
is not sufficient for hauling of logs.
The company will clean up about the
same amount of logs as year ago
and is cutting over 5000 acres, con-
sisting of seventy-ive different des-
criptiOnS in the towns of Birch,
Schley, Pine River, Rock Falls and
Hewitt
Every camp is now full Of workmen
but skilled wOrkmen are not so plen-
tltul as youngsters of whom there is
an abundance. A good man in the
woods can always make his wages
but this is not always true of a young
man OF eighteen years who is green
at Woodwork. Camp board is as good
as at any time during the past sew
eral years but does not mean as much
expense this year to a numbering
company as year ago owing to the
lower price of potatoes, flour, sugar
and meats. Fruit has not come down
but the bulk of the food has come
down in price.-Merrill Herald

MUST PAY $1,000 FEE
TO SELL NEAR BEER
AND MALT BEVERAGES

Saloons and soft drink vendors in
the city of Wisconsin Rapids will have
TO pay a license fee of fifty dollars
annually or quit selling near beers
and matted and vinuous non-intoXi-
catig liquors.
Soda fountains, drug stores and pop
stands are not affected by the new
ordinance unless they sell matted near
beers and wines without a kick" In
case these establishments continue
the sale of these drinks either by the
glass or by the bottle they will have
to be armed with fifty dollar license
or be arrested and upon conviction
pay minimum fine of 500 or 80 days
in Jail, or both. The sale Of pop,
ginger ale, ice cream sodas and other
nominated and non-vinuous drinks
which soft drink parlors, saloons,
drug stores and confectioners handle
will not be included in this ordinance
and must not be confused with the
near beer
At one time there were thirty-three
saloons in the city. Today there are
only nine saloons. 1t is not known
whether the saloon keepers will find
it sufficiently profitable to keep their
places Of business open with the addi-
tional license or not.-Wisconsin Rap

times over. "You may print this, but

"If anything happens in my family,

All the petty and foolish requests
confront an editor, and if he takes
them seriously he will wonder just at
what time this funny person does
really want to see his name or her

they not made the request
In a neighbOring town recently
citizen served notice on his home pa
per not to use his name under any cir
cumStances. Shortly after he was ell
ected to an office in the bank of his
town and the paper omitted to note
the fact. A little later the reunion
of his fathers family was held and the
names of all the children present, ex-
cept his, were printed Then came
the death of a particular friend and
while he was pallbearer, his
name was not printed in the list
given in the funeral write-up.
An hour later he was at the
office Of the newspaper, apologize
ing and admitting that there are two
sides to every case. You don't need
to see his name in print even now
to convince you of the foolishness of

hope that it may save you making the

port is received. II the patient at

U. S. OIL SUPPLY
in GREAT DANGER

Washington, Nov 17.-The world oil
problem, particularly the situation
confronting America due to conditions
in Mexico and Europe's search for ad-
ditional sources of supply, was dis
cussed here today at the opening of the
annual meeting OF the American Pc
troleum Institute.
w. C. Teagle. president of the Stan
dard Oh Company of New Jersey, told
the institute that many foreign gov
ernments are deliberately placing OBJ
stacles in the way of those who would
like to assist in the development OF
new sources of supply"
He was followed by Director George
Otis Smith, OF the United States Geo
logical Survey, who sounded a new
warning that American sources We're
rapidly being exhausted.
Richard Airey, vice president OF the
Roxana Petroleum Corprotion, Brit
lsh company, denied at the night ses-
son that Great Britain was attempting
to monopOiZe the worlds oil supply
The situation in Mexico was described
by Frederick r. Kellogg, counsel for
the Mexican Petroleum Corporation
who said American oil men had gone
lto Mexico City because Mexico is
sued unmistakable invitations to al
he world TO come and invest its mon
ey, its brains and its labor in the OF
industry" This, he said entitled
American producers to the protection
of their government. sE.....-r ... ...
Mr.. Teagle pointed out that oil lands
n the United States "have been thrown
open to the world. with aliens as free
% acquire production as our own citi'
ems" He spoke of the recent Meso
potamian and Turkish agreements be
tween Allied powers and said:
With its position in the world trade
and the economic and financial weap'
ons at hand, the United States un,
doubtedly could compel a new allot
nent >of foreign oil territory to giv'
i share of what keep for themselves

the world production. T."
Americans have done this particu
larly because they had the most ac
complishable oil. 1t is reasonable
however, that this go heedlessly on t.
the quiet exhaustion of their suppl!
and then retire from the business ?"

FOR A
ROAD TO MORGAN

The proposition in the NEWS last
week looking to the building of good
road to the Morgan Elliott line via
Blaine town Is meeting with much IA
vorable comment.
AS suggested before, there is much
preliminary work to be done and ii is
time we were having meeting to take
the first steps and to enlist the aid OF
the State engineer department.
1t would be q fatal error to do any
considerable amount of work on road
Improperly located. A great deal OF
the present road may be located in the
right place and all such parts should
be used to save cost. But where an
Improvement can be made in grade or
foundation by changing it, this should
be done. The State department will
give us as much aid as possible in this
enterprise.

LEAGUE MEETING
in SWITZERLAND
FAILURE OF THE UNITED STATES
TO ENTER MAKES SITUATION .
UNCERTAIN.

Geneva, Nov. l4.-The conference of
the League of Nations will be opened
here tomorrow In an atmosphere foggy
with mutual mlstrust and suspsicion.
despite the gay superficialities elab
GRATED by the general Reception Com
mittee.
There is an embarrassment on the
part Of all the delegates, owing to the
general belief that the absence of the
United States from the conference
greatly vitiates it's decisions.
The smaller nations plainly are i'm
pressed by the report that the present
league is practically a collaboration
between Europe and Japan against
America, with London and Tokyo
dominating every important question.
Britishers and japanese are every
where to be seen, although number
OF other delegates have not obtained
rooms
The matter of the absence of the
United States will be brohght up Off
cially by the Scandinavian states In a
joint memorandum to the League Of
Nations. This memorandum is ex-
pected TO result in an official demand
to President-e elect Warren G Harding
for an explicit definition of the policy
to be pursued by America toward the
League of Nations.
One of the most important prob
lens to come before the assembly will
be that of finding some way Of bring
ing the United States into the league,
in the opinion of Honorio PueyrredOn,
Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs,
as eyDresSed here tOday
81 think it great pity that the
United States is not already an active
participant in the league" he said.
while l do not say that the league
should be abandoned because America
has not joined 1t, | firmly believe that
her entrance is vital If the league is
to be a virile functioning body for
the prevention OF wars.
THE country which has always
stood for right and justice and which
gave birth to the wonderful league idea
must become a party to the almost
divine mission which a real world
league has before 1t. My trip to
France and to the battlefields has sim
ply made my conviction firmer that
| there must be a League of Nations.
Il am afraid that war has not been
| ended but on the contrary, has just
begun, and unless a strong league is
brought into existence the world again
will see a struggle, more frightful than
the one just finished.

VETS AND DRYSTO
FIGHT in CONGRESS

Washington.-Wets and drys now
are drawing lines to plunge Congress
into a liquor battle. -
Wayne b. Wheeler. chief counsel of
the Anti Saloon League, is marshaling
that organizations forces to pass
legislation providing for the destruc-
ton of 55,000,000 gallons of liquor now
in bonded warehouses. ,....
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
wants this liquor removed to"one of or
two of the big Federal warehouses
where he says it can be properly
guarded and distributed.
Treasury Department officials are
preparing to ask additional millions to
aid enforcement of the Volstead law.
Wet interests, hopeful of backing
from organized labor, hotel and res
taurant men and sportsmen, are anx-
!ous for an opportunity to attempt
amendment of the Nolstead law to
permit sale of light wines and beer.
Big employers of labor, through
their trade organizations and Cham
bers of Commerce, are preparing to
resist any modification of the Ma
tional prohibition on the basis of
manufacturing efficiency. ...
The real battle is expected to CEN
ter over the proposal to destroy the
liquor in bonded warehouses or the
demand for increased appropriations
for law enforcement.
Anti Saloon League leaders declare
National prohibition can never be a
complete success while so much liquor
is in existence. Bootlegging now go
ing on in almost all big cities is di-
rectly traceable to the stores of
bonded liquor, dry leaders say. '.''.-
| Bootleggers are getting their sup
plies from bonded warehouses, 1t is
charged, through the forging of per-
mits for withdrawal and the whole
sale robberies of liquor in transpor-
tation from one warehouse to another.
If bootleggers were obliged to de-
pend for supplies on backroom stills
and what liquor could be smuggled
into the United States from foreign
countries, they soon would have to go
out of business, the drys argue.
