The reorganization of the band at Little Chute along
the most modern lines will take place at a general meeting of musicians of the
village Wednesday evening October 10 in the village hall. The former Valley
band and the Little Chute coronet band will forever pass out of existence at
this meeting.

The Kaukauna Legion football team defeated
Manitowoc 18 to 6 on Sunday, one of the classiest football teams ever seen on
the local gridiron. The game was fast and furious and was full of roughness.
Dear Mabel, I am greatly distressed at the seeming
coldness on the part of my husband. When we were first married and I was a
slender slip of a girl, he would call me his “Little one” and would hold me on
his knee. We were so happy. I am now twice the woman I was then. I now weigh
200 pounds and he no longer holds me on his knee and never calls me “Little one”.
The miserable little worm is only 115 lbs. on the hoof. I'll give you my word that
he is not so much to look at.
Effie.
Dear Effie:
Any man who would cease holding his 200 lb.
wife on his 115 lb. knee must be a waste. The only thing to do if you want to
hang on to him is to reduce.

Last Saturday was High School
Homecoming day, starting with the football game with De Pere and terminating in
the evening reception given the members of the school board, parents, teachers,
students, and alumni, at which Mayor. Raught presided. The program featured a
speech by the president of the senior class, L.
F. Nelson, representing the
school board; Mayor Raught; and Robert McCarty, representing the athletic
department. A musical part to the program featured Miss Olive Jacobson, who
sang a solo, and an orchestra composed of five students.
The building formerly occupied by the J. J.
Martens company department store, on the southside of the city which was
destroyed by fire almost two years ago and has remained unoccupied, has now been
remodeled, and fit it up for the H. T. Runte companies use.
Federal officers last Wednesday seized two ten-gallon
jugs of “moon”, several copper stills and a quality of mash and other
accessories needed in moonshining and have placed under arrest a resident of Beaulieu
Hill. It is reported that he will be taken to federal court in Milwaukee. The
stills have been temporarily stored in the local Police Department headquarters
where they have attracted some attention.

A valuable horse
belonging to Albert Baeten was struck while running loose on the highway Tuesday
evening. The machine was being driven by Patrick Powers who was not injured. The
horse sustained a broken leg and had to be shot.
The new parochial school building at St.
Francis congregation at Hollandtown was shown last week. The handsome building
was built at a cost of thirty-five thousand dollars. The children of the parish
are surely in great luck in being housed in such a fine building according to
Father Van Oeffel.
