~~Hon. James F. Fullbright, Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, made
a speech to a considerable outdoor
crowd here last Saturday afternoon.
He spoke on the north lawn of the
High School grounds, ami while, as
stated, there was considerable
crowd, not as many heard this excel
lent speaker as should have heard
him, which was due to the day and
the hour of the day it became neces
sary for him to speak here. His
speech here and the one he made at
Bragg City that evening closed his
three days campaign in this county,
which was exceedingly well received
1t would be extremely unfortun-
ate for man of his ability to be de-
feated in favor of one of the caliber
of the present incumbent, who has
been tried and found wanting in
most every essential for which the
people of this Congressional Dis
trict so much need representation.
Mr.. Fullbright was introduced by
Shelley Stiles, Democratic candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney of Penn

the trip was more like work than
play, he says. OF course, all the

the fields of goldenrod, the crimson

severe injury to shade trees from
the sleet storm of a month ago
was in the area south of the line
drawn through Lacrosse, West
Salem, Bangor, Sparta, Tomah,
Wyeville, Sprague, Nekoosa Ban
croft, Medina, Appleton, Kaukau-

interesting fact connected with
the sleet storm is that white pine,
white spruce, arbor vitae, red ce-

scarcely injured at all. Butter

nut stood up well under the
weight of ice, next to the conf

Jack Martin, former Phil and now
manager of the Daytona, Florida
State League Club, was coaching
at third base in the game against
the Baker athletes here Saturday
and he grew excited when Herbst,
his home-run hitter, raped lin
er to right center.
There's a greyhound after that
ball" shouted Kaiser Wilhelm,
and he gets it"
Cy Williams was galloping af-
ter the sphere full speed ahead.
His lean legs were working up
and down like piston rods and his
arms were pumping away in har-
mony. The ball was headed for
the fence, but just as it seemed
it would hit, two huge paws went
in the air and the flight was inter
cepted as the ball nestled into the
gloved hand.
1t wasn't a difficult catch for
Cy Williams, but there are few
Outfelders who would have reach
ed the ball. The Wisconsin farm
er was off in the right direction
with the crack of the bat and his
long legs seem to eat up more
territory than Man O'War. De
spite his thirty-odd years, William
is still a greyhound.
Cy didn't get any hits in the
9-2 victory on Saturday and this
is unusual. The former NOtre
Dame athlete as a rule contrib
utes two or three safeties in any
contest, but against Daytona he
had something else on his mind.
He became a real estate owner in
last week when he was
with a building lot in
Sunset Harbor, a town about ten
miles from here.
He was elected president of the
Three Lakes, Wisconsin, bank dur
ing the winter and that caused
worries. But judging
from the way he has hit the old

games this spring, the banker,
land owner and farmer is still go

LEGION TAKES CLAIMS
Ex-Service Men Can Get
Prompt Action Now on
Any Claim, No Matter
Where They Are.

Sheboygan, Wis.-Thousands of
claims of ex-service men of Wis
consin are now being handled
monthly by American Legion
posts throughout the state, ac-
cording to a statement made by
Austin A. Petersen, State Adju-
tant at headquarters here.
"Ex-service men now have the
assurance of getting prompt &C
ton on their claims, no matter
where they are in the state, he
announced today, for they can go
to any one of the three hundred
and fifty-six posts and put their
claims before any official"
I'VE feel that our biggest OBJ
legation is to our buddies, as out
lined in the preamble of our ma
tional constitution; to consecrate
and sanctify our comradeship by
our devotion to mutual helpful
ness. And we have built up a
big organization which is sup
ported by every Post in the state,
just for that purpose"
Open State Office.
The number of claims have in
creased so rapidly during the last
several months Adjutant Petersen
said, that it has become necessary
to open a state service office. On
account of the greater number of
claims originating in the south
eastern part of the state, it was
said, the office has been located
in Milwaukee, 207 Wells st. James

is in charge.
His office will handle all claims
sent to it." the Adjutant said, "es-
pecislly the ones most difficult to
handle by posts throughout the
state. This office is in direct
touch with the U. S. Veteran bu-
reau at Chicago, with which it is
closely cooperating.

duct a state wide census of ex-

FARMERS WIVES CLUBS
More Needed for Entertain
ment and Relaxation From
Daily Vexations-Visiti
Days.

Mrs. Charles Sherwood lived on
farm in northeastern WiscOn-
sin She was a typical farm wife
who put in long days at work,
who thought nothing of a l2-hour
day until 8 p. m, and threw in
four hours more of hard labor be-
fore 10 a. m. There was always
mending and countless odd jobs
TO be done IN the evening.
Work was no hardship for Mrs.
Sherwood. She did not complain.
But she did wish that she might
nave a visit occasionally with
other women who had the same
problems as her own. Unfor-
tunately, there was no club or So
ciety Of women in that neighbor-
hood and there was no special oc-
casiOn for visiting.
About two weeks later Mrs.
Sherwood preached the idea over
the telephone 10 two of her near
est neighborS. She suggested
that such a club might be orga-
nized. The neighbors fell in with
the plan and within another
month the club was meeting at
regular intervals.
Many farm women are eager
for some kind of a meeting place,
for a little social relaxation and
still they have no such club. And
all they need is leadership. The
club day can become a regular
visiting day once in three weeks.
The farmers wife plans for it.
The woman who entertains the
club expects her neighbors and is
prepared for them. There is So
cial life and a wholesome leaven
Of ideas. Life on the farm be-
comes brighter for every woman
who has such an opportunity. And
every community can have 1t. Any
group of two or three women can
take the initiative and bring the
thing 10 Milwaukee Jour

Miss Florence Simmons of Big
Bass lake, who is a teacher in the
Oconto city schools came to
Eagle River yesterday and will
have a vacation until the flooded
condition of Oconto permits of
foot and wheel traffic.
When she started to school
Monday morning it was impos-
sible TO walk, and a taxi could
not operate on account of deep
water in the streets. Teams were
on the north side of the river
moving the families to higher
ground, and she was compelled
to wade part way and boat the
balance to the depot.

morning, they waded through
water from the Sackett residence
to the sidewalk. The water was
then of sufficient depth to go ov-
er their shoes.

yesterday was two and a half
hours late on account of high
