coached successfully at Grayling,

East high, at Madison, is new
school, and "Peenie" will have the
handicap of developing new material
throughout, but those who know his
ability are certain that his athletes
will be trained and inspired to put in
to punch whatever they may lack in
the finesse which comes only with ex-
perience.

The most beautiful clusters Of
grapes we have ever seen are now
growing in the Frye vineyards, on
the old Purvis farm, about two miles
northwest of River Falls.
The Fryes started their vineyards
about eight years ago, and through
painstaking effort and expert care
have developed some of the finest
specimens ever shown in this locality.
1t has been their custom to sell the
grapes to local stores, but SO far this
year they have been disposing of them
to patrons who call at the farm.
Included in the Frye vineyard are
the following kinds of grapes: Nose
early, Brighton, Delaware and Con-
cords.
Besides their vineyards they have
also a splendid orchard of Wealthies,
Peters, Greetings, Wolf Rivers, Esta-
