Kaukauna Pig Fair parade coming down the Lawe Street bridge.
Calvin Coolidge, Republican, elected President of the United States by record vote. Coolidge won a landslide victory, taking majorities in both the popular vote and the Electoral College and winning almost every state outside of the Solid South, while still making headway by winning Kentucky.
Twas a sad and terrible day last Saturday. The
day after Hallowe’en for twenty-five lads of Kaukauna who were made to undo
what they had done with great pleasure the night before namely, return to its
resting place on the Van Lieshout garage scrap pile an old auto. On Hallowe’en
the boys yanked it out of the pile and pushed it down the long hill. But alas
they were detected by Officer James McFadden now they are required to push it
back up the hill to the cheers of a large crowd which gathered to witness the
event.

The Manitowoc referee
beat the Kaukauna Legion team last Sunday afternoon in what started as a sunny
Sunday afternoon ending as a three-ring circus. The game began with Manitowoc
kicking off over the Legion goal line and into the crowd. A spectator threw the
ball back on the field in time for Manitowoc player to fall on it and the
referee called it a TOUCHDOWN. Later in the game the Manitowoc team was forced
to punt but the Legion team blocked the attempt, and Kaukauna fell on the ball
with a Manitowoc player later falling on him. Guess who was given position of
the ball?
On Monday evening when ordinarily hundreds of
people would have driven to the chicken supper and bazaar at Wrightstown only
two Kaukauna cars ventured out. The hazardous risk of driving a car to
Wrightstown on the road that has been named as the Death Gap.
The payroll of the Oneida Indians claiming
property in New York state will be made tomorrow at the residence of Chas.
Tourney. All persons entitled to be represented on the tribal list are urged to
report without fail to be sure that the list is as complete as possible.

As a result of the
election the states of Texas and Wyoming now have woman Governors. Talk is now
on the way of when will the time come where a woman may become President?
