WORK STARTED ON
GLEN PARK BRIDGE

The new suspension bridge over
the upper electric power plant dam
is about completed, and as soon as
the flooring, now being laid, is in
place the Minneapolis Bridge Co.
crew will commence the erection of a
foot span across the South Fork to
connect Cascade avenue with Glen
Park.
1t is thought that the Junction
bridge will be open to traffic the lat
ter part of next week, or possibly a
few days later.
Material for the foot-bridge to
Glen Park is being placed on the
grounds, and work on the abutments
has already started. The foot
bridge will cross on the street level
from Cascade avenue to the Park
driveway, a span of about 100 feet,
and will be eight or ten feet wide.
There has been a demand for this
form of short cut ever since the Park
was established, and increased pat
ronage that automobiling has
brought makes it an absolute neces-
sity, giving the city greater op-
portunity of realizing upon the bene-
fits which the Park has to offer.
The east portion of the Park
drive, where the west end of the
bridge is located, is being widened
and regarded, and pathways from
the bridge to the interior of the
Park are to be provided.
The Park. zoo is being constantly
enlarged, and several cages have
been added to the string to accom-
odate more animals.
1t is suggested that the need of
more picnic tables there gives local
business establishments an oppor-
tunity to do a bit of advertising by
furnishing such tables lettered to call
attention to the donors business.

EXPLOSION STARTS BLAZE
AT SWENSON RESIDENCE

The neighbors in the vicinity of
the H. L. Swenson home on S. Third
street were startled last Friday af-
ternoon by resounding explosion
which shook windows in houses sew
eral blocks away.
Immediately after the explosion
the fire alarm sounded and the De-
partment, arriving at the Swenson
home, found that a blaze, starting in
a shed at the rear of the house had
spread to the roof. 1t was soon ex-
tinguished.
The cause of the explosion, or
what exploded, does not seem to be
definitely established, but it is be-
lieved that turpentine, gasoline or
some other highly infamable liquid,
left in a container in the shed be-
came over-heated and in bursting
caused the damage.
A window in the shed was blown
completely out, and a shelf just in
,ide the doorway was totally demol-
ished.

HARRY BROWN SHOWS
HERE FOR A WEEK

Harry Browns popular troup OF
players will show here for week,
commencing tomorrow, giving a
variety of comedies and dramas in
tersperced with speciality vaudeville
numbers.
Harry has brought his tent shows
to this neighborhood every season
for twenty years, showing in five
counties in this section of the state
during practically all of that period,
and his popularity in indicated by
increasing patronage at each APP
pearance.
A great measure of Harry's sue
cess may be attributed to the fact
that he is good mixer about the
towns where he plays, making the
rounds among the boys, young and
old, telling stories and accumulating
wide personal acquaintance.

''TWister" Last Night
Wrecks Farm Buildings

Two barns, machine shed and
chicken coop on the Geo. Brugger
farm (the Geo. Bredahl place. on
Highway 35 between this city and
Ellsworth, were demolished by a
small "twister" which struck about
eight o'clock last evening.
The house escaped with no further
injury than a wrecked chimney.
This vicinity was visited by the
heaviest rainfall of the season, a de-
LUCE which lasted but half hour
but which brought over an inch of
water in that time.
Main street was transformed into
a raging torrent which swept along
even with the curbs when the surface
drains became clogged and unable to
handle the flood.
The clogging of a drain in front
of the l. r. Osborn nome on S. Main
street caused the formation of a
small lake about the house, filing
the cellar and reaching to the floor.
Children had a great time splashing
about in their bathing suits, diving
from the Osborn porch into the tenn
porary front yard swimming pool.
1t is reported that considerable
grain was lodged by the downpour,
but the extent of damage in this re-
spect has not been ascertained.
The Twin Cities were visited by a
similar storm earlier in the evening
and several lives were lost and there
was vast amount of property dam
age
The storm came as the climax to a
close, sultry day, and is followed by
cool, clear weather today.

An interesting History
Of the Badger State
State is Noted for Diversity of
Crops. Packs 500 of Nations
Peas and Grows More Cigar To-
bacco than any other State

Editors Note.-Some people think
of Wisconsin as being dairy state
alone. While we are all proud of the
part dairying has played in the state
and we hope for more of it, the fact
is Wisconsin is one of the most d.
versely cropped states in the nation.
Flax, clover seed, tobacco and peas
nothing similar about these. Yet
Wisconsin either leads in the yield
per acre or in total production.
Where you find wide diversity of
crops, you will usually discover
greater prosperity. When the
markets are low for any one crop,
prices for others may help to COM
pensate. Here is the seventh INSTALL
ment of the Hotchkiss-Cannon ar
ticles on Wisconsin.

ACTIVITIES OF AMERICAN
LEGION AUXILIARY

The Auxiliary of the A. H. Fetch
err Post No. 121 is quite active, al
though they have not participated in
any work since the Paper Sale. The
last meeting of the Unit wa full of
interesting business. The following
items are some of the Units activ-
tiles:
The Paper Committee gave their
final report, stating that $4,000 was
realized from the sale of the papers.
A box of Geographical magazines
sent to the Milwaukee Hospital had
been received and were greatly APP
preciated by the men at the hospital.
The Poppy Committee reported
that 5000 of the profits from the
poppies had been sent to the Depart
ment Rehabilitation Fund-to help
make the hospitals better and more
home-like for our boys. 1890 was
sent to the National Child Welfare
Fund-to care for orphans at the
American Legion Homes at Otter
Lake, Michigan.
The Unit voted to give $4,000 to
the American Legion Endowment
Fund. This money was given to our
Post Commander and the Unit feels
it their duty to the boys and their
dependents.
The Unit also voted to buy Unit
Flag. This matter was left with the
Secretary and Treasurer and it is
hoped to have it at our next meeting,
July 13. The Unit has never had the
National Colors or Unit Flag of their
own and are glad to be able to buy
the one now and the other soon.
The Unit elected their delegate
for the Department Convention to be
held at Stevens Point, August 20, 81,
%. Mrs. A. N. Johnson, Vice-Presi-
dent, received unanimous vote and
Mrs. Kenneth White was elected al
ternate by unanimous vote. The
Unit is entitled to two delegates and
alternates according to membership,
but owing to the expense, only one
was elected.
The Unit has several plans made
for the month of July and although
there will be only one meeting dur
ing the month, the members will not
idle. The next regular meeting is to
be held July IS. Let every member
come out and help the Unit continue
its good work. You will want to
have part in the work and not feel
that the credit is all due another.
There are good prospects that the
Unit will hold initiation at the next
meeting.

IDEAL WEATHER FOR
SAFE, SANE FOURTH

Cloudless sky and cool weather
provided an ideal combination for
the celebration of the nations birth
day anniversary last Saturday, and
picnic spots, bathing beaches, cele-
bration grounds and auto highways
found record crowds out to make the
most of it.
Although there was no celebration
program here, River Falls was host
ess to monster crowds in Glen Park,
and BILLY" and Betty" and the rest
of the zoo had a glorious day of it
entertaining and being entertained
by the kiddies.
Ellsworth had big crowd az
Flanders celebration, and the even
ing dance attendance packed the big
Fair Grounds pavilion to the limit,
and perhaps considerably beyond for
comfortable dancing.
There were, of course, quite a
number Of auto accidents, but con-
sidering the highway congestion, the
list was miraculously small. Fire
works casualties in this neighbor-
hood were almost nil.
So, everything considered, it was a
really glorious, safe and sane
Fourth.

MRS. SHERMAN GIVES
RECITAL AT ROBERTS

Thursday evening, June 25, the
people of Roberts were entertained
by splendid recital given by Mrs.
Alice O'Connell Sherman. The pro-
gram was varied and most pleasing
throughout.
Special mention should be made of
the selection "In Memoriam." The
author, Laura J. Keiser, is a social
worker at Tacoma, Wash. 1t is a true
story of the problems of a social
worker and is very human and
touching sketch. The conversation
used was repeated word for word
from true life.
Other numbers on the program
were group of impersonations by
Ruth Draper and a little play-let
Fourteen" by Alice Gertzenberg.

gathering has been notably success
full, but the worldwide reputation of
this years speaker, Bishop Locke, is
expected to bring a record breaking
crowd
Some delegations will drive fully
ninety miles and return, as the Eau
Claire District covers the territory
from the Mississippi and St. Croix
rivers as far East as Marshfeld, and
includes tho following counties:
Pepin, Pierce, Dunn, Eau Claire,
Chippewa, Clark and parts of ST.
