A very pleasant event took place
at Crystal Lake, Dodgeville, on We'd
nesday, June 10th, when the decend-
ents of the late Richard and Sallie
HuXtable met for their annual fam
lily reunion.
The day dawned bright and cloud
less and was certainly ideal for the
happy occasion, which this proved to
be. At twelve-thirty the last guest
had arrived and soon the tables were
fairly groaning under the weight of
good things which go to make up
real picnic dinner.
Ninety-siX people in all partook Of
this bountiful repast, including few
intimate friends of the family.
In the afternoon Bro. Lindsey Of
Waldwick, gave a. brief address

spring. Touching upon freedom and
Democracy and also on the courage
and sterling qualities of our fore
fathers, which made it possible for
this generation to enjoy the fruits of
their labors. Guests were at this
most successful picnic from Lamont,
Darlington, Beloit and Madison.

THE BIG FIELD day.
Mineral Point Draws a Large
Crowd of People and Gives
a Good Program.

Monday, July 4, was great Field
Day here. At an early hour people
came pouring into the city from all
directions and later gathered on the
Fair grounds to enjoy the sports OF
the occasion. The program as adver-
tised was fully carried out to the sat
isfaction of everybody.
The ball games were first in order,
one at 10:30 a. m. and the other at
100. The early game was closely
contested one, between Livingston
and Platteville Platteville won by a
score of 5 to 4. The game at 100
p. m. was between Hollandale and
Blanchardville, and was won by
Blanchardville score to 2.
The races, with Frank Jeuck, sup
erintendent, were pulled off accord
ing to schedule, and proved an en-
tertaining part Of the afternoon pro-
gram. General satisfaction is eX-
pressed as to manner in which they
were conducted.
The American Legion boys had a
refreshment stand, and to their cred
it be it said, sold everything at pre-
war prices, their object being to
serve the public, well, rather than to
make money.
A great feature of the day was
the music of Mineral Points good
band, which was highly appreciated
alike by our home people and by Wis
itors from near and far There was
a band concert in the evening in
Municipal park.

A WATER WAY TO THE
ATLANTIC.

There are great possibilities for
Wisconsin and this portion of the
country in general in the proposal to
make Milwaukee practically a sea-
port when a water way to the Allan
tic is secured through the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence river. The Mil
waukee Journal always alive to the
interests of it's city and state pub
fishes the following regarding the
great waterway project:
milwaukee will virtually touch
the waters of the Atlantic, will to all
practical purposes become a seaport,
if the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway is built.
1t will be a great transformation.
1t will work a great change, make
for a much greater development.
Time was when Wisconsin's prod
ucts came wholly from the soil
grain and lumber. Wisconsin bought
little from the outside. Almost every
man was his own tailor, his own
shoemaker, his own blacksmith.
But more and more, as transporta-
tion facilities increased, raw mate
rial found in the state, later, raw
material brought into the state, was
manufactured into articles of COM
merce. Industrial development set
Wisconsin sold much and bought
much-but sold to her neighbors and
bought from her neighbors.
Milwaukee and other industrial
centers began to expand still more
to sell to other countries, but, aft
er all, in a limited way.
There was and is barrier. A
thousand miles from the sea coast,
Milwaukee, all Wisconsin, lacked ac-
cess to the rest of the world by way
of the sea, lacked that which enabled
England and other countries to de-
velop stupendous industries, which
made New England huge industrial
center.
To sell to all the world and to buy
from all the worYd-that is what the
new waterway will enable Milwau-
kee and the rest of Wisconsin to do.
1t will mark the next step, gigantic
step in the evolution of commerce
and industry.
Lake Michigan has been both an
advantage and a disadvantage to Mil
waukee-a benefit in the way of re-
gional transportation and yet bar
rier to growth and expansion.
Now Lake Michigan, by reason OF
waterway to the Atlantic, will open
all the worlds way to Milwaukee
and open Milwaukee's way to all the
world. No other city on the lakes
will have a greater opportunity"
