on in spite of difficulties.

40 wreck is complete nor
no road unsafe without
side-car motorcycles. Rich
men can get rid OF wives by
divorce route. But poor man
figures that floral wreaths
are cheaper than alimony.
So he buys side-car cycle.
Popular brands Of wife
killers are "Slow But Sure"
and "Widower's Delight.
Husband invites unsuspect-
ing wife out for Joy ride in
side-car. Whirls around
Hair Pin turn. They call 1t
Hair Pin turn because mil
lions of wives hair pins are
found there next day. Wife
Is hanging on telegraph
wires like Xmas tree jew
elry.
Average citizen doesn't
like motorcycles. IL he
wants his liver shaken up,
he'd rather take couple of
pills. But they are great
weight reducers. They will
take two hundred pounds OF
wife off any husbands
mind.
Professor Beerfoam, who
had highest laundry mark
at Yale, explains source OF
recent crime wave. Profess
sor says there Is more than
one way to skin cat. Up
keep of motorcycle is less
than upkeep of wife. Couple
start off on rut and puddle
excursion. Side-car is full
OF wife. Husband is en-
gineer. After swatting trees,
milestones, telegraph poles,
husband looks around, is
surprised to find that wife
is not there.
Much cheaper than costly
divorce proceedings. Pint
of gasoline is your lawyer.
Telegraph pole is your star

After husband has tried 70

herd OF steam rollers and
sideswiped Long Island

that honeymoon is over.
When wife asks hubby to
buy automobile and he pur-
chases side-car outfit, she
ought to rattle home to
mother. That's tip-off that
Mr.. Husband has got head
full of larceny.
We advise wives to sell

The Wild Goose
Goodness Pays

/, i oOliUCsA ~ oiIuPiy 10 ehO hiShSce
= literary art, according to a
great authority.
Try'it some time on YOURSELF,
and with'a moving picture.
Study some picture, then sit down
and see in how FEW words, how
VIVIDLY and ACCURATELY, you
can tell what it is. that you have
seen. >
In these days of much reading
there are many that live COM
fortably simply because they are
able to see more or less clearly and
describe more or less simply and
interestingly.
The story about "The Wild
Goose" written by Gouverneur
Morris, one of the best writer's of
the country, now made into pic
ture at the Columbia Theater, gives
you an interesting chance to try
on yourself the experiment of see
ing, and then DESCRIBING.
"The Wild Goose" gives a par
ticularly good opportunity to Judge
your ability to SEE, REMEMBER
and DESCRIBE. And incidentally
it is very GOOD PICTURE, and
it tells with unusual power the old
story that it pays to behave, and
NEVER pays to do the other thing.
A young artist marries. He goes
away for a while to work. Another
man comes along The other man
and the wife go away. A prosper
Gus friend, more unselfish than
usual, decides to bring about re-
Cancellation, and he does it. His
method of killing the villain is more
striking; you would not like to try
it.
The wild goose, as you know, is a
peculiar goose in one respect. When
the mate dies he or she never gets
over it. The one left behind mopes
and mourns, and comes back every
year to look at the mildewed re-
mains of the old nest, and by and by
dies of grief.
That's very sad but, on the whole,
not such a bad thing for the wild
goose. For when a wild goose
marries, he knows it is for life,
and he makes the best of it.
Some "movie critics" have said
that "The Wild Goose" tells very
old story. So it does. So does
everything worth seeing, hearing
or. reading. Love, faithlessness,
goodness, wickedness, hope and fear
are all old.
A play, book, sermon, can do
three useful things, in fact, four.
First, make you THINK. ~
Second, give you INFORMA-
TION.
Third, give you PLEASURE.
Fourth, MAKE YOU BETTER.
"The Wild Goose" is a GOOD
sermon, and, Judging by the news
as we read it, it is a sermon that
many Americans, male and female,
need.
There are in this country too
many geese that lack the faithful
domestic quality of the wild goose.
They don't even wait for the part
ner to die, but hop out and build
another nest, sometimes several of
them in several flats, before the
original nest really got started.
OF all the things he ever wrote,
Gouverneur Morris never wrote any

H0Osier Male Trio
as Second Number

LYNN Glib is the baritone and
manager. Mr.. Glib comes from
Canada and is a singer with some
twenty years of professional study
and experience. His readings are
an important factor in the program
as well.
Franklin C. Kidd is the tenor. Mr..
Kidd has had wonderful opportunity
for advancement study and profess
sional experience and he has tenor
voice such as our audiences rarely
have opportunity to hear.
Donald Ashford plays the piano in
way to please you-and me. He
plays the piano caressingly, thought
fully, appealingly. Then he puts
over "big brother" pianolog that
takes you back to the days when
you-or your beau--smoked cornsilks
behind the barn. 1t takes a very
fine pianist to handle the accom-
paniments of Mr.. Glib and Mr.. Kidd.
The way MIR. Ashford does his work
leaves no lingering doubt as to his
convincing mastery of the instru-
ment.
Thee Hoosier Male Trio is COM
pany the management is happy to
endorse. We are privileged to pre-
sent them for your consideration.

OF THE MASON DISTRICT
LECTURE COURSE
Will be Given at the NJ. w. A.
Hall On Friday Evening,
November 4th. A Dandy
Number.

The people, Of the Mason district
are looking forward to the second
number of the Lecture Course which
will be the Hoosier Male Trio, which
appear at the M. w. A. Hall on
Friday evening, November 4th.
The Hoosier Male Trio differ from
the usual type of male trio enter
tainment company in that their
music is of the merftorious and
inspiring sort, and not chosen for
the number of laughs it can produce.
There is no valid reason why ar
tistic singing need be confined to
male quartets of a certain type. The
Hoosier Male Trio does not do a
dozen different lines of work in a
mediocre sort of way. What they
profess to do, they do splendidly.

FINISH WORK
OF COW TESTING.
STATE VETERINARIANS
WORKING IN MASON
Expect to Complete Their Work
During the Coming Week of
Testing Cattle for Tubercu-
lOsiS.

/ Drs. Coulson, Lord, Olson, john
son and McKeown, representing the
State Veterinarian Department, who
have charge of the work of making
the tuberculin test of all cattle in
Bayfield, county, are now at work in
the Mason district and are receiv-
ing the cooperation Of the farmers
of this district in their work, and
as soon as they finish the work here
they will have completed the work
for Bayfield, county.
The doctors expect to be able to
finish their work in this territory
during the coming week.
According to the examiners Bay
field county has been exceptionally
free from tubucular cattle and when
the work in the entire county has
been completed it is expected that
the percentage will show less than
one per cent which is a mighty good
showing.
The work in the town of Kelly has
been completed during the past week
and out of all the cattle in his town
lily nine were found to be affected,
two of which were from one herd,
and they have been disposed of.
Bayfield, county is the third coun-
ty in the state which has completed
this test the other counties being
Lincoln and Barron.
Farmers of the county are now
beginning to realize the Importance
of this county wide test, not only
from the. advertising value but from
the standpoint of healthy cattle.
Farmers who are coming here from
other fields with their stock will
know that when they arrive in Bay
field county they need but have little
fear from this dread disease, while
the farmers in the county are given
projections from outside cattle be-
ing shipped in for all cattle coming
into the county in the future must
first have the tuberculin test.
In every section of the county the
examiners have met with co-opera-
ton by the farmers and they are
well plesaed with the manner in which
the farmers have aided them.

FARMERS HOLLER
FOR MORE CORN
MASON MERCANTILE COM
PANY TO SUPPLY THEM
Article i'm Mason Times Brings
Demand for Corn That is Be-
yOnd All Expectations and
More Has Been Ordered.

Last week the Mason Times stated
hat the Mason Mercantile company,
n order to provide cheap hog, cat
lie and chicken feed was ordering
orn from Iowa by the car load
which was being sold to the farmer
patrons of the store and the patrons
of the creamery at actual cost, or
at the rate of Acc per bushel or about
$1,000 per ton.
This week the third car of corn
arrived at Mason and there were
enough farmers on hand to unload
the entire car in three hours and
many had to be disappointed and re-
turned without receiving a supply.
Not only were farmers there from
the Mason District but readers OF
the Times from Grandview and
~Drummond and Benoit were also
there to try and purchase some Of
this cheap feed.
The Mason Mercantile company
only contemplated supplying the
farmer patrons of the store and
creamery, and will have to decline
to fill orders for farmers from other
sections of Bayfield, county. Their
object in supplying the farmers with
cheap feed was to benefit the farm
er, and that their work is appreciat-
ed is shown by the interest taken in
their plan.
Mr.. Charles Larson, manager of
the Mason store, states that another
car is on the road and will arrive in
a few days. Make arrangements
for your supply.

LAND ABOUT MASON BE-

Four Years Ago Omaha Official
Roasted the People of Mason
Because of the Large Num-
Der Of Stumps.

About four years ago Mr.. McCabe,
in charge of the immigration depart
ment of the Omaha railroad, visited
Mason and at that time he INDUCED
in a good roast" to the people of
this village because of the large num-
Der of stumps to be seen from the
railroad land asked why these were
not removed so that the travelling
public coming through Mason would
not have to gaze upon these black
remains of the forest.
This was touchy point to the
people Of Mason at that time, and
they retaliated by informing Mr..
McCabe that if it had not been for
the people of Mason even the Omaha
righ-of-way would be like eye
sore, for they stated that the lumber
company of the old days had removed
the stumps from the Omaha right-of-
way, and that there was no credit
due the railroad for this.
Four years is not long period of
time, yet it has been long enough to

They first boomed out full the last week in March. The blooms were kill cd ny the Easter freeze. but later the trees have put out clusters of red blooms by the side of the dead bios sons and 1t is argued by some orchard ists that these last blooms are the ones nature intended for next years crop
 But orchard experts are unable to explain why only two trees would put on such luxuriant bloom while the others are barren.
