Committee Chooses Name
NORTHERN WISCONSIN AssoClA-
TON CHOSEN TO REPLACE
OLD RESORT TITLE

The Northern Wisconsin Assoeia-
ton" is the winning name i'll the con
Test for a new name for the Northern
Wisconsin Resort Association. The
judges had hard time deciding on
lame by which the organization for
al upper Wisconsin should be known
by finally deciding that the name
Northern Wisconsin Association" had
certain advantages over all. The first
me to suggest this name was j. H.
Heating of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company at Ashland. He will receive,
prize of $25.
Many splendid descriptive names
were sent in, but in as much as the
work of this association would in
clude land settlement, industrial ex-
pansion, and other activities in addi-
ton to attracting tourists, the commit
tee thought best to give it a name
that would be short and all-inclusive.
The best descriptive name was that
suggested by Miss Mayme L. Summers
of the Green Bay Elevator Company
of Green Bay, Northern Wisconsin's
Land O'Lakes Association"
She will get a prize of SIS.
The name "The Northern Badgers"
suggested by w. K Currie of Butter
nut, was awarded the third prize of
$40.
1t is expected that the executive
committee will officially change the
name at its first meeting after the
campaign

Mississippi Wins
Says Total Of Fire Risk Firm
Penalties Has Been Paid.

jackson, Miss, Dec. 3.-Payment of
the $784,773.O4, the total of the fire
insurance company penalties in fines
and the interest on the amounts, was
announced at the office Of Stokes v.
Robertson, state revenue agent to-
day, who brought the suits.
Of this amount $528, ,O29 has been
paid into the state treasury. The de-
lay in the payment Of the other to
the treasurer is due to the time re-
quired for the last checks to be
cleared Robertson will get 20 per
cent commission from the fines.
They were assessed over the viola
ton of the mississippi antitrust law
which was through the use Of CEN
tral rating bureau in fixing fire
hazard premiums.
The suits were filed three years ago
and became a political issue in the
state. The insurance companies ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States, but lost there.

Big 7 ent Revival
Meeting Drawing
Large Crowd

The Rev. A. C. Alvin King, Bap-
ry. has erected a large tent on the
lot next to Whites Garage and is
conducting an epoch making spiritual
revival The large tent is we'll heated
on cold nights and is very comfort
able.
On account of Brother Kings meet
report got out to the effect that the
Evangelist is Holy Roller. This
is indeed an injustice to Brother hl.
as he is prominent Baptist Minis
ter and is at present pastor OF the
McHenry Baptist Church.
Those that have attended his meet
ings state that he is truly a big gun
on the Lords firing line. People have
been seen at his meetings here that
have never attended the local church
es. this in it's self means much to the
community, and it is hoped that many
of this type will be converted to the
cause of Christ and line up with the
local churches.
When the dates of Brother Kings
meeting were set it was thought that
the Dan Kelly meeting would have
been closed by that time, but owning
to the marvellous success of "Uucie
Dan" his meeting has been continued
therefore the two meetings are runn-
ing at the same time.
Brother King has an efficient song
leader from Louisiana who is leading
that part of the service. 1t is be-
lieved that as soon as the Kelly meet
ing closes all the workers in that
meeting will assist Brother King in
his revival

A NATURE STUDY.

Over the ripping bosom of the
fragrant shades of an August night
drew down. Thru its perfumed fra
GRANGE the glorious moon threw a
path of silver across the softly tapping
waves like a way to the gates OF
Paradise. A sweet senuousness hung
over everything and a kind of holy
calm stole the darkening surface.
Back from the bordering sands toward
the forest, still and majestic beauty
in its vastness. From out of its
depths came the wailing sadness Of
the nightengale. 1t was night when
ramance reigned, and and Lovers
dreamed.
Suddenly from out a dusky grove
by the waters edge came voice:

Chamber of Commerce has been talk
ed to death. The slogan in the future
will be "more real constructive work
and less hot air.
Never before in the history of this
country have we experienced such
prosperity as is being had at this
time. Everything points to a continu-
ed cave of the present prosperity.
Now while we are so fortunately fav-
ored it is necessary that we take i'm
mediate steps toward making it per-l
manent for all the years to come.

of any other section.
Our timbered lands are fast be-
oming thing Of the past. The re-
sources that at present maintain our
people directly or indirectly, the lum-
ber interest will soon be exhausted.
1t behooves us to take time by the
forelock and put forward every effort
to get people to come into our section
and cast their lot with this section.
We have very great incentives for
these outsiders such as agricultural
advantages, churches, schools and
good roads.
1t is indeed time that we put aside
everything personal, and put our
shoulders to the wheel and start the
old mill of progress to going full
steam ahead
At the meeting Tuesday plans viii
be made for a joint meeting with the
Picyune Chamber of Commerce in
order that all the energy possible
may be concentrated for it's advance
ment.
The people Of Popl arville should
put aside everything. and attend this
meeting. 1t must be backed to the
limit not only this meeting but all
the indeavo1s of the local Chamber
Of Commerce and every other organi-
zation that is striving to better our
section.

ORCHARD FIRE HAZARD.

Where hay or straw is beng pre-
duced in the orchard. much care should
be taken oplow fire lines and to take
such steps that will prevent fire from
running freely through the orchard,
A large number of fine orchards are
ruined annually by careless growers
allowing stubble to catch fire. Our
rapid hot fire is sufficient to ruin
the trees. The careful manager of an
orchard will take every possible pre-
caution to keep fire out of his orchard.
