FIRST SERIES CHAMPS

Owing to a ruling by "Judge"
Healey of the Twilight League an
extra game was called to decide the
winners of the first half of the sum-
mer's series.
A tie game between Smuland's
Butchers and Medley's Chicken
Chasers was therefore played off
last Thursday. Had Medley won he
would have shared honors with Trig.
for first place, and still another game
would have been in order.
But the Butchers drubbed the
Chasers, 8 to A, and have clear title
now to the first half series.
Tonight Hurd's Pill Rollers and
Fox's Skim Milks are scheduled to
play off their tie for the champion
ship of the second series.
The winner of this game will play
the Butchers for the league cham
pionship on Aug. %, as a feature of

Good Pastures Keep
Creamery Output Up

The rains of the past few weeks
have kept the pastures green, and,
as a result the dairy output is far
above that of previous Augusts
At the River Falls Cooperative
Creamery this condition is reflected
in the weekly turnout of 10000
pounds of butter, which, according to
Manager R. P. Colwell, is from,
twenty-five to thirty per cent larger
than is usual for this time Of year
The local creamery is paying Ale.
Mr.. Colwell states that there is an
unprecedented amount of butter in
the big eastern storage houses this
year, approximately thirty times the
amount usually held at this time.
This tends to hold down the price and
to give the clears" an advantage in
the market.
The entire output from the River
Falls creamery goes to New York
city. The present price is 39c.

MINER WOULD REPEAL
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION

Ethan B. MINER, of Stanton, in a
letter for publication, states that one
of the reasons he Wishes to be re-
elected to the Assembly is that he is
anxious to repeal the $500 horne
stead exemption law"
81 did not vote Tor the exemption
on engrossment, says Mr.. Miner,
"but on the advice of Att. General
Ekern voted for it on final passage.
"In theory it appear7 70 le all
right, but it does not work out in
practice, for the reas N that there
are more homest9ads in small cities
and villages than in the country dis
tricts.
"Take my town of Stanton and the
city of New Richmond. In New
Richmond there was cut off from
the valuation $166,000; in Stanton
there were only eighty homesteads,
or, only $4,000 cut off the valuation.
at can be readily seen that this
law will porportionately raise the
state and county taxes in rural COM
munities and lower them in cities and
villages.
"My friend Chas. Hanson has tried
to make me believe this law is a good
thing, but / fail to see it and l will
introduce a bill to repeal it, and !
am quite sure | can succeed"

Harry HuntOOn Tells
About Indian Pageant
Saltwater Man Describes Apostle
Island Show And Recommends 1t
To Others

The Indian Pageant at Bayfield, is
worth long journey, and hope that
since our city is only days ride
away, many will go and enjoy it as /
did.
1t is beautifully located on bay
six miles out of Bayfield, on state
highway number 13, which is an ex-
cellent road between Bayfield, and
Superior.
Mr.. Kirk Davies, a New York
Artist, of renown, laid cut the
grounds, and supervised the painting
of scenery and canoes which were
camoufaged and tinted in a most at
tractive manner. After that part of
his work was finished, he became so
interested in the Pageant that he,
without further compensation, is re-
manning through to the end.
The arena in which the players APP
pear is in valley and the sloping
hillside on the north furnishes the
amphitheater. A mounted u. S.
Cavalry band of 81 pieces furnishes
the music. Mr.. viii Davis directs
from thirty foot lookout on the
hill.
Some $50 honest-to- goodness Chip
pewa Indians, headed by Chiefs
White Crane and James Scott of
OIapab onJ Cb;of To.onL uyl:k.
of Reserve, aided by 100 citizens of
Bayfield, and Ashland, make up the
company which presents the Pageant.
Madame D. Montaspan, Pierre Raids
son, Louis XIV, Count Fontenac,
Pere Aloez, Pere Marquette, and
Louis Joliet.
Maryeda Boyd and others from
Chicago are assistants to the direc-
tor.
The story of the Pageant is told
in three days, each afternoon from
800 until $50. The grounds are
easily reached from Bayfield,, miles
over splendid road, by bus, or by
boat from dock to dock, but by far
the best way to go is in your own car.
AS you approach the grounds, you
will be met by Mr.. A. l.. Brigham,
who is in charge of the parking
space, and from then on your way is
easy, SO perfectly has everything
been arranged. Your charge for
parking inside the grounds is soc,
and after short trip through be-
autiful woods you will purchase
tickets at 21.00 per passenger, and
l0c for war tax and then you will
cross a new toll bridge over the Buff
falo river, which is about 60 feet
wide. After going through the gates
real Indian maiden with braided
hair will give you without charge
very comprehensive programs.
Then as you go further into the
grounds, police will direct you to
parking space. You will then take
your place on the side hill looking

Tornado Drill Is
New Guard Stunt
River Falls Unit Returns Home After
Two Weeks At Camp Douglas

The local National Guard Unit,
the 107th Ammunition Train, re-
turned home after their annual two
weeks encampment, arriving in Riv-
er Falls about five o'clock Sunday
afternoon. In spite of the rainy
weather, all of the boys were in good
spirits and report a fine outing.
The 10th left here on Sunday
morning, July 81, with a strength of
fifty-six men and three officers.
River Falls may well be proud of
such strong. Guard Unit, as many
cities with considerably larger popu-
lations have been unable to support
a National Guard Unit at all.
The first few days in camp were
real sweltering July days. Then the
rain came, and it remained damp and
cloudy for all the balance of the
period, with the exception of once or
twice that the sun managed to poke
itself through the clouds.
The boys had real scare a week
ago when the tornado struck Black
River Rails. A telephone message
was received at Camp Douglas about
$3.50 p. m. to the effect that a tor
nado had struck Black River Falls
and was headed straight for Camp
Douglas. Tent stakes received an
auful mauling in the ten minutes i'm
mediately after the arrival of this
message. Some of the boys were so
enthusiastic in driving the stakes in
that they drove them clear out of
sight in the sand. The storm didn't
strick camp, but could be seen about
900 p. M, passing about five or six
miles to the northeast. The funnel
shaped clouds could be distinctly
seen during the bright lightning
flashes for about ten minutes.
Governor Blaine was in camp Fri
day Of the second week for the pur-
pose of reviewing the troops. Every
enc thought that the review would
be called off on account of the wealth
er, but about noon it cleared up and
the rview was staged according to
schedule in the afternoon. Major
Gottschalk, a regular army officer
who was present and witnessed the
review, complimented the motorized
units on the excellence of their part
of the review. All of the drivers of
the 107th behaved like veterans.
Many rumors were current during
the encampment as to prospects for
the 1925 encampment, but the
opinion seems to be general that il
will not be at Camp Douglas next
year. Camp Taylor, Kentucky, and
Camp Custer, Michigan, are the two
most popular cities selected by the
ones who purported to know all the
inside workings. Everyone had a
good time, however, and the boys
who went down this year will be
just as enthusiastic about going next
year, even if the camp is the same.

This probably is for the purpose OF pre-

and many towns in the provinces was
overwhelmingly for republic
The Greek national assembly on
March % passed a resolution in favor
of the overthrow of the Glueksburg dy-
nasty and the establishment Of a Greek
republic.
On December 10, last King George ii
was ordered to leave Greece by the gov
eminent pending the decision of the ma
tional assembly as to the form of the
future government. He proceeded to
Bucharest. and later took up his resi-
dence in Brazov, Pennsylvania. There
on April 8, he issued a proclamation to
the Hellenic people, protesting against
recent events in Greece and claiming
the right to resign in accordance with
the constitution of the country.
The national asSembly's action in
overthrowing the dynasty was taken by
a virtually unanimous vote and IN cele-
bration of the coming republic, Athens
displayed much enthusiasm, and prepa-
ratiOns were begun Immediately for the
holding of a plebiscite, upon which the
assembly had based its decision.
From the opening of the newly -elect.
ed assembly January I, last, there was
demand for a Greek republic. January
2 amid shouts from the deputies and
the galleries of ''long live the republic
down with the king" control of the
government was turned over to the as
sembly by Colonel Prastiras, head OF
the revolutionary forces.
Eleutherios Nenizelos returned as
premier, and promptly announced that
he disappr0yed of the sending away of
the king. He informed the Greeks that
he had decided on plebiscite as the
best Method for giving the people an
opportunity to choose between a mon
archy and a republic. 1t was his in
tention to delay the prebiscite two or
three months, but meantime ill health
overcame him and he withdrew from ac-
tive service to the political world.
