| AN ARTIFICIAL SEA FOR MT. HOREB
Owing to the lack of a stream
flowing through tlie village, the
inhabitants of Mt. Horeb, Wis.,
where many Pierz people, especially those from the Cross
Plains country are well acquainted, will soon have an artificial
lake. A "Lake Park Association" lias been organized with a
capital of $10,000, and work on
the project will begin at once.
The village of Mt. Horeb is
situated on a plateau on the
Blue Mounts, so that no stream
for this purpose is available excepting* a small creek, the course
of which will be diverted to Mt.
Horeb to furnish water for the
proposed artificial sea. The
forty acres bought for the purpose lie in a basin deep enough,
so that almost no dams to hold
the water will have to be   built

BURNING OUT STUMPS
The following method of clear-
stumps from land is taken
from the Moose Lake paper and
should be tried by the Journal
readers during the month of October, which is considered the
best month of the year for such
work. This method has been
been tried many times and has
always proven successful. An
article in ' 'The Technical World"
of Chicago, stated that a man
and two boys, in addition to
their regular farm work, burned
out six hundred stumps in nine
weeks.
The application of the old
charcoal burning process, is described as follows:—Wood dry
enough to burn well is cut about
like ordinary stove wood, and
stocked on end around the body
of the stump, until the stock of
wood is about a foot thick, any
large roots radiating from the
stump are treated the same way.
Then some light litter is scattered over the wood and close
to the body of the stump to prevent the dirt from rolling down
between the sticks of wood, and
then with spades or shovels, the
whole mass i.s covered over with
dirt to a depth of six inches or
more, excepting a small place
on the windward side, where the
fire is to be lighted. After lighting the fire and letting it get a
good start, this opening is also
covered over with earth. It is
well to cover the top of the
stump too and especially if it is
hollow.
After the fire is started, it
should be watched, and whenever draft holes start up through
the covering, more earth should
be put on to stop them. The
idea being to confine all the heat
around the root of the stump
until it is thoroughly consumed.
One man can watch several
hundred stumps. The color of
the smoke indicating where they
need attention.
This method is especially applicable to land where the down
stuff has not been picked up and
burned, and its advantages are:
—No cash outlay, nothing but
labor, and this is no greater than
would be required in blasting,
moving pieces, piling and burning, and then tilling the hole.
All the roots are burned out below the plow, and the ashes are
left, making a nice spot instead
of a poor one. If the soi.1 is a
heavy one, the burning- helps it
very materially.
Dr. E. L. Hawes the
Dentist will be in Buck=
man on Oct. 17th and in
Pierz on Oct. 18 and 19.
Now is the time to get the
old aching teeth out and
those filled, that can be
saved. Cold weather will
soon be here and that
means tooth troubles.
Call early,    Advt.

Electric Light Celebration a Grand Success
200 PEOPLE FROM  LITTLE FALLS
CAME OUT IN 25 AUTOES
The electric light celebration held last Monday evening was a grand affair. The
attendance by far exceeded
that of any gathering ever
held in Pierz—Fourth of July
celebrations not excluded.
At least 200 people in about
twentyfive autoes came from
the county seat.
As by pre-arrangement, the
torchlight parade headed by the
Pierz band, the Pierz Fire Co.,
and joined by the rube band of
Little Palls, about twenty autoes and about 1000 people, started at the village hall at eight
o'clock, marched to upper town
and returned to the substation,
opposite the church. Rev. J.
G- Stiegler turned the switch
which instantly illuminated the
beautifully decorated streets and
wired buildings. He followed
this ceremony with an address
in which he said he would not
essay to become serious for he
was speaking on a "light"' subject. The progressive strides
of our village, since his coming
here nine years ago were briefly dwelt upon  by  the speaker.
In conclusion he fell into a
more serious vein and remarked:
''In civic pride andlocalpatriotism we are second to   none!
Honor to whom honor is due.
The success of this project,
which to many seemed more
like an Utopian dream or an unnecessary expenditure of money, than a practical undertaking, is due in a large measure
to the energetic efforts of our
village council. Honor to the
Water Power Company, and
honor to the citizens of Little
Falls, who, by their presence
hei-e tonight in large numbers,
show, if 1 may so express it, a
charitable interest in our village. Sincere thanks to the
voters without the aid of whom
our hopes of ever obtaining a
a perfect lighting system, could
not have become   realized."

A new German invention for
supplementing natural tri
IS hair made of artificial silk,
which has the texture of real
hair. It can be dyed the exact
color of natural hair, no matter
how difficult the shade may be.
This new silk hair is certain to
be extremely popular. It is
clean, to begin with, and may
be washed at any time as easily
as any kind of silk. Besides
that, it has a great deal of body,
and, when made into tails and
transformations, holds much
better than real hair. It is glossy, and will submit to brillan-
tine or oil like the loose hair
switches, and when once curled
keeps the curl much better than
ordinary false hair. This is almost as much of an improvement
as Golden Grain Belt Beer is
over the old fashioned kind. Order E. S. Tanner, Little Falls.

next speaker. Mr. Lindbergh
related his first trip to Pierz
twenty-six years ago on a night
so dark that he was compelled
to walk ahead of the horses and
light matches at intervals to
find the : way into the village.
He compared the thenunlighted
hamlet with the more modern
aspect of our village that (Monday) evening*, and confidently
predicted that the next twenty-
six years would experience a
much more rapid and greater
ne*.1 than the twenty-six
years past. He further predicted that the great trend cityward of the younger generation
would find a reaction inprc, O -
tion as we bring our rural districts and villages in the line of
modern improvements and development.

-Boston Evening Transcript
During the   course   of his   ad-
Lindbergh,   our   distin-  dress, which was brief and non-
political, the Congressman
showed himself to be a deep
and thorough student of the
economic problems of our country.
Introduced by Mayor C. E.
GraVel, T. C. Cordon made a
few remarks. "If brevity is the
soul of wit", Tom Gordon is a
very witty man.
In substance he said:
"There is no  use of telling you
what we have done.    The lights
show that."
C. B. Buckman sat in his auto
directly in front of the substation and it is a matter of regret that nobody thought of
asking him to make a brief address. Mr. Buckman was close
ly identified with the early
tory of Pierz and it is safe to
say that his remarks wouldhave
been  listened   to  with   interest, St

farmi
wheat with their five bus
■.bed grain   to  compete   for
-•">,000 prize to be given   lor
the best five   bushels   o*
exhibited at   the   North
Products  Exposition in No
ber.
The first requirement was that
the   growers   should    send
bushels of   threshed   grain   and
from   five   to    to
wheat from  the   field,   but   the
rains have made   it   almost   im-
ble to   get  good   shea
hence     the    exposition    people
waived the   sheaf   requirement.
All that is necessary to enter
th.' contest is to   send    the
bushels of wheat prepaid
Nov. 1,  to   Will  A.   Camp
manager   of the tion   in
Minneapolis, notify him   that  it
has been sent   and   till out
entry blank and affidavit which
ads to gi ring the
contest.    There is no e-ut
of any kind.
Prof. C.P. Bull of the Mi
sota    School  of Agriculture
making    an     effort     to   secure
enough   entries    so   Minne
will be reasonably sure of winning the prize.    The state known
as the greatest wheat    producer
in the world wants to   hold    her
own in the best wheat class.
