The trip | was made in the Dessert auto, and the warm sunny day made the ride most ! enjoyable. Mr. Dessert has recently installed new machinery for sugar i making, which makes the industry both scientific and satisfactory; and watching the boiling white sap in the receptacles as it passes through the different degrees and stages until it gradually charges into delicious gol -1 den maple syrup was most interesting. Three delightful hours were spent at i the camp. The party included Mrs. 1 Louis Dessert and daughters. Misses ! Louise and Blanche, Mrs. C. H. Ingra : ham. Mrs. R. H. Johnson and Miss j Hermione Silverthorn.

DON F. FLOSS FRED SCHMIDT WILLIAM TAEGE THE WAY OCT OF IT A few plain truths told in a sar castic way vein, by the state fire de partment at Madison: He knew the gun was not loaded, but it was. He looked for a gas leak with a match, and found it. He lighted a match to see if his gasoline tank was empty. It was not He smoked while filling his auto tank, but will do so no more. He smoked in the hay mow, but will not do so again. He smoked in bed, so did the bed clothes. He threw the matches into the waste paper basket. He is wiser now. He threw a cigaret stub into some rubbish. He used a wooden box filled with sawdust as a cuspidor. He saved his oily waste and aily rags and they burned his shop. He xvashed his hands in gasoline near the stove. The doctor washes them now. He allowed dangerous conditions to remain because “he never had a fire” He does no longer boast of that record. He did not wot ry about fire as he had “plenty of insurance,” and forgot the safety of his wife and children upstairs. He used a torch to thaw out frozen water pipes and set the house on fire. He stuffed up the chimney holes with papers and rags. She cleaned her gloves with gasoline and saved fifteen cents, bat paid the doctor and druggist fifteen dollars. NEW CHEESE FACTORY There are efforts being put forth just now to have anew cheese factory built on the Smith road, miles east of Wausau. The idea is to find the right man who will put in the plant and the farmers will promise to patronize him.. The first meeting was held about ten days ago and another one was held last Saturday, at which two cheese men were present, and it is possible that a deal will be made with one of them. Anyway, a cheese factory will be started there soon. MADE AN ASSIGNMENT The Wisconsin Graphite Cos., owned by E. W. Sellers, at Stevens Point, has failed, and its owner has made an assignment. The total amount of in debtedness will run up to about SIOO,OOO. D. E. Frost is the largest creditor with an amount of $30,000, and George H. Altenberg the next to the extent of $21,000. The company is capitalized for SIOO,OOO. It has a mine at Junction City; the plant and grounds at McDiil and the right to use 100 horse power on the Plover river. Mr. Sellers asserts that • the assets will pay indebtedness if carefully han dled. WAIJSAIJ, Wls. ( TIJESPAY, APRIL 4, 1916. OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.

The Wisconsin Electric company had a large crew at work the past few weeks setting poles and stretch ing wires. The lint: consists of three 1 eavy copper wires and .t steel wire s retched across the tops of the poles, for a lightning arrester. Now, Mosi nee, Rothschild, Wausau and Merrill are connected up with the power line, and should any of the places meet with trouble so that power should be cut off, it could be supplied from the other powers, as it was in July, 1912, At the time of the freshet, Wausau and Rothschild were able to be supplied from Mosinee. SAVE TROUBLE The Wisconsin Conservation Com mission sent out circulars giving no tice that ducks have begun to fly north and asks hunters to observe the law prohibiting the spring shoot ing of them.

Persons making complaint will be entitled to one-third of the fine, wfiiich leads to the con viction of a violator. Violators can be brought into court up to a time limit of two yeats.
