WONDERFUL COLORS
Wisconsin and Michigan
Hardwood Region the
Beauty Spot for the Artist.

Should an artist attempt to re-
produce in picture the wonderful
coloring as nature has produced
this time of the year in this sec
ton, his final product would GER
tainly be laughed at. And the
reason is patent.
Nature during the fall has Civ
en- to Northern Wisconsin and
Michigan a painting which none
are able to reproduce in colors.
With its thousands of acres OF
hardwood-maple, hemlock, birch
and the other known growth of
trees-the scenic grandeur is be-
yond the ken of man. Take it
where the hills are very pronoun-
ced. the hillsides are one panorama
of colors, in fact a veritable rain
bow of coloring greets the lover
of the beautiful.
Northern Wisconsin visitors
are enjoying their vacation
this season by remaining
through September and October
in order to see the beauties of
tree coloring. There is no longer
the lure of the fishing rod, nor
of the auto trip just to pass away
the time such as generally results
in the extreme warm weather.
The trips are now made for the
one purpose of seeing one of the
most beautiful sights given over
to the average man or woman
who can spend a fall vacation in
the Big Woods region. Hundreds
of cars are making trips daily
through Wisconsin and Northern
Michigan just on sightseeing
trips; and they are getting their
moneys worth and more too.

WAUSAU GETS UNION
Moonshiners Organize for
Purpose of Creating Fund
for Defense Against Perse-
cution.

The existence of an organiza-
ton known as a "moonshiners'
union" has been unearthed in
Wisconsin, whose purpose is to
protect its members and provide
a defense fund for combating
criminal prosecution.
A Stevens Point man is said to
be the organizer of the move
ment,and to be engaged in an
active campaign to enlist moon
sinners and home brewers IN the
ranks of the moonshiners' union.
Farmers in the vicinity of the
town of Bevent were solicited
last week by the Stevens Point
man to join the association. The
aims of the union as set forth to
these men include a membership
of 200 with an initiation fee of
So per moonshiner. This would
provide an immediate defense
fund of $1,000, according to the
prospectus of the organizer. and
permit the union to start func-
tioning.
In the event OF tie arrest of
any member of the inoUnshiners'
union for plying his vocation, or
avocation, the union plans to pay
his attorneys fees and fines, if
the latter are imposed. To fill
the deficit in the reserve fund,
occasioned by such payments, an
assessment will be levied against
members, it is planned.
Activities of the union have
been brought to federal agents
and an effort is being made to
obtian a membership list of the
union. Possession of the list by
the prohibition enforcement of
ficers, it is believed, would pro-
vide them with invaluable aid in
damming the flow of illicit drink
in this part of Wisconsin.
The field of operations by the
union is said to cover the south
ern and eastern parts of Mara
thon county and the northern and
eastern parts of Portage county.

Partridge Season Open.

The opening of the partridge
season yesterday showed that the
birds are very plentiful in most
every district, except where they
have been preseason hunted. Bag
limits were secured by the aver
age hunter who spent the day in
the woods on old roads which are
numerous in this section. In
several sections the birds have
been depleted long before the
season opened. This was done by
the specie very well named the
game hog" This fellow has no
regard for the law nor for the
rights of the men who try to live
up to the precepts as set forth
by the lawmakers who are endea-
voring to preserve wild life. By
the end of the present partridge
season, which closes Saturday eve
ming, the birds will have furnish
ed the larders of many who like
that sort of hunting.

REJECT OFFER
FOR COMPROMISE
Trolley Commuters to Fight

SUBMIT PROPOSITION
TO Have Rates They Ask fer Put in

Ticket al Increased Price

The executive committee of the
Mount Vernon division Commuters
Association last night flatly reject
ed a proposition Of the Washington
Virginia Railway Company for a
compromise in the proposed increase
in fare on that line. The compro-
mise was submitted to the commit
tee by Attorney Conrad Syme coun-

sented by the Railway Company
through him.
The railway company asked, it
is. stated, that the proposed increase

they. however, agreed to let the
twenty-five trip ticket stay on at a
greatly increased rate.
The members of the executive COM
mittee of the commuters assoc:a-
tion held meeting in the Westmin-
ster Building and discussed at length
the fight against the railway COM
pany. Afterward they proceeded to
the rooms of the chamber of COM
merce and found officials of that or
ganization and others with Mr..
Syme, and it was her that the MEM
bers of the executive committee
voiced their disapproval of any such
compromise. 1t was not regarded as
compromise, being sa!ply pernaTs.
sion to increase the rates without a
hearing.
1t is expected that the Interstate
Commerce Commission today or to-
morrow will enter an order suz
pending the proposed increase in
rates and then will fix date for the
hearing.
The commuters propose to fight
the case to finish and feel salts
fled, that they will win out.
