NIX IN MIX UP;
JAILED FOR A YEAR

A transient, giving the name of
Fred Mix, was arrested in the city
Of Prescott last week, after he had
broken into a house in that city and
stolen suit Of clothes and a shot
gun.
The suit and gun belonged to Will
liam Hickok, who was absent from
his home for the winter. Neighbors
noticed smoke coming out of the
Hickok chimney and became suspic-
ious because they knew the Hickok
family were away and the house
closed up for the winter.
The City Marshall was called and
with a posse made an investigation
and found Fred Mix making himself
at home in the Hickok house. Later
it was found that he had broken into
three other houses left vacant for rhe
winter in the same way.
He pleaded guilty before Judge
Knowles at Ellsworth on Tuesday and
was sentenced to one year in the
State Prison at Waupun, Wis. Sher-
if Baker will take him down tomor-
row.

STEVENS is OPPOSED
TO TUBERCULEN TEST

P. J. Stevens of Cylon, St. Croix
county, he of farmer strike" fame,
is now in print as bitterly opposed to
the tuberculin test for cattle, which,
he says, as burning question in st.
Croix county today"
Honest" says Mr.. Stevens, "if you
were to put canvas over this U. S.
and call it an insane asylum you
would hit it just right"
Farmers STOP" he warns, Figure
would not this area test, if it goes
through, bankrupt the state of Wis
consin?"
"There are" declares this author
ity, fourteen men in your (St. Croixl
county today, drawing $4,000 and
expenses and you farmers and your
families are working like slaves to
maintain them, that they are destroy
irg the only possible means of sup
port, the dairy COW, not only the cow
but the market for dairy products as
WELL"
In concluding his TRADE Mr.
Stevens says: 1.-THE cry goes out save
the babies, don't feed them milk but
give them oleomarganne. Honestly,
] believe it's the use of oleomargar-
lie and dairy substitutes that dement,
ed the people. Again l say,
this damnable propaganda will de-
stroy the dairy interests of our state,
it's gone too far; it can't be stopped.
Watch your creameries and cheese
factories melt before your eyes"
Mr.. Stevens letter, which APP
peared in last weeks issue of "The
Baldwin Bulletin" is typical of the
opposition now active against the
countrywide tuberculin test for cat

PARCEL POST DELIVERY
WILL Be DISCONTINUED

Owing to the fact that funds for
auxiliary carrier hire have been to-
tally exhausted, the local post office
will be forced to discontinue much of
the city parcel post service which has
been offered patrons of this office
since last July.
City mail carriers Healy and Reed
will deliver the smaller parcels. as
heretofore, but the special service
which had been given by Mr.. Frank
Symes as auxiliary carrier will be
discontinued, and patrons will be no.
titled by card to call for their parcel
post mail at the post office.
The situation is national, Congress
having cut the appropriation to such
an extent that post offices throughout
the country will have no more auxil-
larry clerk funds to draw upon until
q new appropriation is made, and
this would not become effective until
after the new fiscal year which starts
July /.

SUN ECLIPSE VISIBLE
HERE NEXT SATURDAY

The best way to observe the beauty
of the total solar eclipse from about
z to a. m. Saturday, Jan. "a, is
explained by Prof. B. G. Way, Sec
rotary of the Astronomical division
of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Science, as follows:
Detect the beginning Of the eclipse
by watching the sun through piece
Of smoked glass.
When the moon starts to cross the
SUMS face, bandage your eyes with a
large black or colored piece of cloth.
After the eyes have been in the
dark for more than an hour and it is
known the eclipse approaches total
ity, unbandage the eyes, and again
look through the smoked glass. In
this way you will see the full beauty
of the sight Of lifetime.
The northeast section of the
United States has not witnessed a
total eclipse for nearly 200 years and
another 200 will pass before another
such phenomenon occurs. In June,
1918, the sun was eclipsed and the
path totally extended south from the
Pacific North west to Florida. In
September, 1923, another total eclipse
occurred, visable only in California.

scented q program appealing to the
tastes Of all. Starting with the mill
tary cadence Of Sousa's stars and
Stripes Forever" and concluding with
the allegro di motto movement Of the

express the height of it's technique.
Following the opening number the or

The Coliseum

Mr. Henry Carleton announces the
closing performances of the Henry
Carleton Players this, and tomorrow
evenings. This is due to his inabil-
ity to secure theatres enough to fill
in the week during the rwinte
months. With the roads in bad con-
dition his patrons are unable to
patronize the performances with the
same amount of regularity and the
uncertainty of the weather makes the
proposition more of a gamble than
business.
The closing of the Henry Carleton
Players will be felt by number In
Gardiner. They have been appear
ing in this city since last February
with the exception of the summer
months and they have made friends
without number. Their performance
es have been something our citizens
have looked forward to and they
have catered to our best. They have
appealed always to those who appre-
ciated dencency and cleanliness and
their efforts have been fruitful.
Too much praise cannot be given
Mr.. Carleton for what he has done.
Taking the Coliseum when 1t was
considered worthless and making 1t
a paying venture would be enough

The plot is a satire on life. 1t
centers around an unhappy small
town wife. A visit to the city leads
to an affair with a worldly friend Of
her husband, the consequent suicide
of her spouse and the flight of the
philapderer after settling an annuity
on her head in reparation for tragic
outcome of his attentions.
Time has but seemingly little ef-
feet on the beauty of the woman, for
thirty years later she is as attractive
as ever and equally as charming in
the eyes of the stronger sex. Her
daughter now grown up into young
womanhood, has been receiving with
favor thu attentions of a young
painter, when the Brighter of her
mothers home comes into her life.
She falls desperately in love with
him. Alarmed, the mother summons
up courage to expose the leech of
happiness. telling the girl that it is
through his charity that they are
able to enjoy the luxuries that sur
round them. How the mother gives
up the allowance, the daughter the
man, and the mother realizes that
she is, after all. old, brings the story
to a dramtic close.-adv.
