Nekoosa and Port Edwards-Two
Villages Promoted by Nekoosa-
Edwards Paper Co.

eNekoosa, thriving community, is
situated twenty miles south of the
geographical center of Wood county,
one of the leading ten counties of
Wisconsin The name is of Indian
origin, meaning Running Waters.
Ideally located at one of the best
waterpower sites on the Wisconsin
river, the village. Incorporated in 1898
has a population of 2,100 with a
direct community population of over
5000 more. Pure, wholesome water
is furnished at cost by the village and
the drainage and sewer system would
be credit in cities many times larg-
er. Twenty-four hour electric service
is furnished by local company at low
rates. State highway 13 crosses the
consln river over new concrete and
steel bridge 900 feet long at just a.
bout the center of the business dis
trict. During the summer touring sea-
son hundreds Of tourists pass over this
bridge every day and the natural beau
ty of the scenery as seen here is such
that no tourist can cross without stop
ping to see it all. Nothing like it or
as beautiful on all our trip" is the
usual comment.
The industrial activities are center
One of the largest mills in the
ed around paper and pulp making.
state and the largest wrapping paper
mill in the northwest is located
here.
In addition to the paper and pulp
mills the village has the largest and
best equipped machine shop and
foundry in the state outside of the
largest industrial centers. All work
from desias lii1sg and patternmaking to
the finished machine or parts in
steel, iron or brass, is done locally,
and the product is being sent to all
parts of the United States, Canada
and Sweden.
To the northwest, west and south
west is the second largest cranberry
district in the world, being exceeded
in size only by the Cape Cod district.
The berries grown here are not ex-
celled by those grown elsewhere.
Much of the territory south and
southeast is still covered with pulp
wood and timber. The sportsman
can find here plenty of ideal fish
ing and small game.

State Flooded With "Moonshine."

Just mOonshine-virtually nothing
else," is what Prohibition Commits
sioner Stanley Smith says Of the illicit
liquor that his deputies are confiscat-
ing. Except for an occasional half
filled bottle of the bond"
said Mr.. Smith, 'We rarely find any
thing but the moonshiners' product.
Canadian whisky? Well, once in a
while we find a little in the lake ports.
We have case now pending in She
bOygan where we cOntiscated some of
the Canadian whisky that was being
smuggled in by way of a lake boat.
Outside of the little we have cap
we find Is just the white moonshine.
Occasionally we get some pretty heavy
extract or some wine of pepsfn. This
is not very general, though. Now
here is a bottle Of 'Mince Meat Flavor
ing-Not to be used for beverage
purposes that we picked up" Ugh
it smells like hair OIL" said the in
quisitiye reporter. Il can't say as to
that, but its alcoholic content is 90
per cent and | guess we were justified
in taking it." And so the old-time bot
tled-in-bond seems to have disappeared
from the market as well as from the
homes. with very little coming across
the Canadian line into this state
From now on the campaign is on the

.COBWEBS OR
CUSTOMERS

In the early days, Mark Twain, the
author of "Tom Sawyer" and
"Huckleberry Finn" was editor Of a
small town newspaper. One day he
received letter from superstitious
subscriber telling how he had found
spider in his newspaper and asking
whether it meant good or bad luck.
Mark Twain wrote as follows:
Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good nor bad luck for
you. The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which merchant
was not advertising, so that he can
go to that store, spin his web across
the door and live a life of undisturb-
ed peace ever afterwards"
Are spiders commencing to weave
their webs in your doorway? A sure
cure for cubwebs is customers-and
advertising in your local newspaper
will bring them to you in increasing
numbers.

FORMALBANQUEI
At MADISON CLUB
Geo. P Hambrecht Retiring Chair
man Of State Industrial Commits
sion Honored By Colleagues
Of Office
By Florence Deakin

A seven o'clock formal banquet
was served last night on the porch
dining room of the Madison club
man of the Industrial Commission
honoring George P. Hambrecht, chair
who retires after six years Of serv-
ice to the commission in favor of K
E. Knutson Of La Crosse.
Ninety guests, including the entire
staff of the comission were present.
Fred M. Wilcox acted as POSTMASTER.
The veranda was a bower of flowers
and a program Of toasts was present
ed during the dinner. The principal
address of the occasion was given by
Charles E. Whelan, who spoke upon
'"The Responsibility of Public Office.
Responses to toasts were made by the
following: Thomas Konop, Walter
who has been with the com
mission for twenty-one years, Taylor
Frye, D. E. Evans, George P. Ham
brecht, Miss Mary Hurlbut and E. E.
Witte.
At the close of the banquet, the
guest of honor was presented with a
rare and valuable set of books, Nicho-
lay and Hays Life of Lincoln" He
gave a short speech of appreciation
following the presentation. = Madi-
son Journal, July 9Th.
We cannot understand why Cover
nor Blaine could not see his way
clear IN re-appointing Geo. P. Ham
brecht to his old position, for the
people of Wisconsin knew that he
was especially well fitted for chair
man of the Industrial Commission.
Here at home where he is well known
and highly respected the people feel
the Governor has made a mistake in
making change. His successor may
prove to be as good, but it will re-
quire many years to convince the
people of the state of this fact. In
