Famous Dancers Appear in

Big Ince Photoplay
Classical dancing on the motion
screen is coming into it's own.
Five years ago the followers of
the pantomimic drama demanded
rough and ready action, spectacular
scenes and thrills as supplied by cow
boys and society melodramas, but
group of classical dancers-too high
brow! was the general verdict.
Today, however, audiences have
come to appreciate true art as it is
expressed in the better types of pro-
ductions. Realizing this growing un-
derstanding of asthetic interpreta-
tlon, Thomas H. Ince has included as
a special feature in Mother O.
Mine," his latest dramatic Offering
for the Associated Producers, which
comes to the Wilson Theatre We'd
nesday one of the most beautiful
classical dancing scenes ever project
ed on the screen.

SAY MAN KEEPS
Legs BROKEN TO
GET THE BONUS

STEVENS POINT-A case which
probably has no parallel in the an
mails of the Wisconsin industrial COM
mission came up before the commits
sion at hearing held here as the re-
suit of the filing of a petition by the
Railway Materials Co. to stop COM
pensation of Benoist, laborer, who
had both legs broken at the plant of
the company here last October.
Benoist was Immediately removed to
a local hospital where he is still a
patient. It is alleged that he refused
to permit his wounds to heal and that
he may be permanently disabled as a
result, making the applicant liable for
payment of a large sum. Benoist, in
answer to the charge, admits that he
removed splints from his legs but con-
tends that he did so because the itch
ing of his limbs became unbearable.
It has been found necessary for
many weeks to watch the man day
and night so that he will not further
prolong his disability.

CITIES CAN'T
Change School
FUND, RULING

MADISON-Requests of local boards
of vocational education for funds
with which to carry on the vocational
schools are final and not subject to re-
view by local councils, the supreme
court held Tuesday in reversing the
decision of the circuit court, which
upheld the mayor and aldermen of
the city of Beaver Dam.
The opinion given by Chief Justice
R. G. Siebecker held that the legisla-
ture had not intended to give city
councils power to change the request
of local boards of vocational eduea-
ton for funds, nor could they require
the boards to make an itemized report
of the way in which they expended
the funds granted.
The vocational board of Beaver Dam
had requested $14,361 Sc and the coun-
ell granted S5,724. This action was
upheld by the circuit court, but re-
versed on final appeal.

State Has Low Ratio of Deserters.

That Wisconsin probably has as few
deserters as any state in the, Union Is
the belief of Adjt. Gen. Orlando Hol-
way. Immediately after the war the
federal authorities sent a list of 5000
men to the state officials, but through
eign armies and in the United States
army previous or Immediately follow
ing the draft the list has b. 4 reduced
to 1,150 "The total list OF deserters
for the country is approximately 16O,-
;NO," declared General HOlway, while
Wisconsin has but 1,15O of that num-
ber. The ratio for Wisconsin is appar-
emily very low. Just last week |
cleared the names of SO Polish men in
Milwaukee who had enlisted in the
Polish army" With the announcement
that the adjutant general Of the army
at Washington will publish the COM
plete list of men who have any reason
to believe their names might be on the
list are urged to communicate with
their draft boards or General HOlway
at once That many names will be
published which should not be Is the
opinion of General HOlway, but he said
lat it was impossible to get COM
'lete check on every man. The list is
lade up for the most part Of technical
leserters. Men who evaded the draft
Dr failed to report are classified as de-
Serters

MOTOR BUS
SERVICE BETWEEN
Wis. RAPIDS AND
STEVENS POINT

The Stevens Point Transportation
Company started interurban bus ser
vice between that city and Wisconsin
Rapids on Monday morning. A special
body has been built on a Chevrolet one
ton chassis and contains upholstered
leather seats with mahogany finish
Eighteen passengers can be carried at
one time The interior of the bus is
also equipped with dome electric lights
and two exhaust heaters while fold
ing step is operated by lever from
the drivers seat. Anti-rattler Win
dows have been installed and felt plac-
led between the panes of glass and the
sashes to do away with the noise
There is room for light baggage near
the front of the machine and push but
tons for stop signals are to be install
led. Two trips daily except Sundays
are to be made between this city and
Stevens Point. The bus will leave
Stevens Point at 500 a. m, arriving at
Plover at 8:20, at Meehan at 8:45, and
aat Wisconsin Rapids at 9:25 Return
ing it will leave Wisconsin Rapids at
1925 arriving at Meehan at 11:05, at
Plover at 11:30 and at Stevens Point

APPLES WRAPPED
IN OILED PAPERS
CUTS SCALD LOSS

Wrapping apples in oiled paper has
been found to prevent apple scald, a
cause of heavy loss during storage
and transportation. AS result of
investigations by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, great many of
the fancy packed apples are likely to
go out next year in oiled instead of
plain wrappers. Scald, department
specialists have discovered, is caused
by gases given off by the apples
themselves. The gases contribute to
the flavor of the apple, and recently
were segregated and identified by de-
partment chemists, who even went so
far as to build up a synthetic apple
odor from chemicals obtained from
outside sources. Pending practical
use of this discovery, which is at
tracing scientific attention both here
and abroad, the specialists of the Bu-
reau OF Plant Industry have applied
the distilled chemicals to apples and

Death OF IRVING
T. DUNAVAN

We received word from Cornwalis,
Oregon, the past week dated March
28th, 1921, stating that Irving E. Dun
avan died Saturday afternoon March
26, 1921 of paralysis. He had a stroke
of paralysis last June from which he
did not recover except to walk about
with the aid of cane. On Wednes-
day the % of March he had a second
stroke from which he never recovered.
Had he lived until March 28th, 1921,
he would have been 72 years of age.
|, Mr.. |. E. Dunovan will be kindly
remembered by many old time friends
IN Grand Rapids where he married and
lived on 8th street north. He was a
carpenter by trade and man well
thought of and highly respected. His
widow and family have the sympathy
of many old time friends in this great
hour of their bereavement.

COUNTY ROADS
IN GOOD SHAPE

County Highway Commissioner Ed
Morris has returned from a hundred
miles trip thru the country and re-
ports the roads to be in fairly good
shape thruout the county. In some
localities, however, there still re-
mains numerous chuck holes but by
the end of the week it is expected that
the various patrolmen will have their
sections in first class shape. The
good condition of the roads at this
time of the year is rather unuual
and local motorists are taking advant-
age of the fact and are enjoying many
trips thruout the country. County
Engineer A. Westenborg left Tuesday
morning for Marshfeld where he will
make surveys on the trunk lines in
the north end of the county.

TABLE GRAPES
NOW AVAILABLE
YEAR AROUND

New varieties of fruit different
from those usually found on the mar
ket are always of interest. New va
rieties of table grapes brought by
the United States Department of
Agriculture from Europe recently
formed the basis of mid-winter dem
onstration Of the keeping qualities
of these valuable sorts, new to the
American vineyard industry.
The varieties used in this test We're
introduced by the department of agri-
culture; grown in the vineyards under
it's direction near Fresno, Oakville,
and Colfax, Calf; packed by it's in
vestigators, transported to it's expert
mental cold-storage plant at the
Arlington farm near Washington and
held until mid-winter, long after the
holiday season, with the result that
at least six new varieties Of potential
commercial value have been demon
strated to possess keeping qualities
beyond any hope which the investi-
gators at the department entertained.
While repeated seasonal tests will
be necessary fully to determine the
value of these varieties under Amer
lean conditions, the prospect of their
proving superior in dessert and keep
ing quality to the varieties now gen.
orally grown appears excellent. In
view of the profound changes which
the viticultural industry is now un-
dergoing, the lengthening of the con-
suming season for Americang grown
table grapes is highly desirable to
both producer and consumers. The
experiments under way indicate the
strong probability that by growing
varieties, especially adapted to the
purpose, and following packing, trans
portation, and storage methods which
have been worked out by the depart
ment, our markets can be supplied
with American-grown grapes of high
quality for at least two months later
in the winter than is now the case.

Edwin Miller. born in 1919, was

Edwin Miller, born in 1919, was
reared on a farm near Newark,
Arcadia, in Wayne County, New York.
On May 4, 1846, he started West, tax
ing the canal boat to Buffalo and a
steamer, the Empire, to Detroit. From
there he rode in the cars to Kalama-
zoo, staged to ST., Joseph, riding all
night, caught a steamer to Chicago
and walked out from there to Joliet,
visited with friends at various places
in Illinois, and still tramping viewed
the lands in Wisconsin till he found
tract that exactly suited We want
ed not only good soil, but timber and
"stock water" The return trip, a
very rapid one, was made in five days.
The diary also gives us detailed
account of the emigration of Mr..
Miller, his wife and baby, to their
new home in the fall The building of
the log shanty goes forward day by
day despite cold winter weather and
other obstacles, till on December 5
the family "moved in" The pioneer
records, under date of December 6,
1916, "Slept very sound last night. :"
All the logging, woodhauling, chop
ping and rail splitting operations of
the winter, the clearing, breaking,
fencing and planting of the first sea-
son are recorded with great minute
ness. But, aside from these, Mr..
Miller records the sermons preached at
the schoolhouse, the prayer meetings
at neighbors' homes, the speaking at
an anti-constitution meeting, and the
important public questions decided at
the spring town meeting. The diary
is a valuable source for the pioneer
ing age.

BUILDING-LOAN
ASSN To MEET
FRIDAY NIGHT

Friday evening has been set as the
date of the first meeting of the stock
holders of the Building & Loan AS
sociation which was started here sew
eral months ago when the articles of
incorporation were granted by the
state. The meeting will be held for
the purposes of organizing the associa-
tion permanently and the choosing of
officers for the. association. The chief
position in the association is the sec
retary.
Has Big Future.
Many local people who have lived in
other cities know the advantages of
the building and loan associations and
have built their homes through the
help of the association. There is
great need for houses in Wisconsin
Rapids and it is said that the associa-
tion will do more for the building pro-
gram for the city than any other one
agency. There are many people who
are anxious to take advantage of the
association, people who have saved for
the purpose of building but as yet
have not laid aside enough to build.
The association serves such people by
making it possible to build.
Get More Stockholders.
Several local people are now sign
ing up stockholders in the association.
The results are said to be very graft
flying as many are anxious to see the
association get into action and are
subscribing to the stock.

WHEAT AND
FLOUR PRICES
TAKE DROP

The price of flour is expected to
drop at least $3.50 barrel by July Is
because of the slump in wheat. These
reductions will be reflected in a drop
in the price of bread in September,
when contracts for northwestern spr-
ing wheat flour are made by bakers.
No. hard winter wheat sold Tues
day at $1.1O bushel for July delivery.
This is within 20 cents of the price in
1914, and 80 to 35 cents under the
price for immediate delivery. Mil
waukee grain men predict dollar
wheat by midsummer, unless the
bumper crop is blighted.
