According to official
notice received here, navigation will open for the summer and fall on the Fox
River this coming Saturday.
Kaukauna merchants in case of having no local
newspaper would be forced to go to the nearest town paper to advertise. Then
our merchants, having no other medium of advertising, would be forced to pay 1
1/2 times more per inch than they are now paying in the local paper here. Money
spent on advertising remains here, it is spent here, helping the businesses of
Kaukauna.
A great powder company is offering $2,500 in
merchandise prizes in a three-month crow killing contest. The Audubon society
is protesting against the wholesale slaughter of the crow, claiming that while
it destroys some corn when it first sprouts, the crow is engaged all the year
round, destroying insect pests that are harmful to the farmer.
