The author praises the annual carnival for fostering good fellowship and cooling friction between business and industry. It notes that last year the carnival helped defuse hatred and suspicion, preventing immaterial strife and disruption, and argues for dedicating a few days yearly to such a useful civic purpose.
The article argues that the forthcoming disarmament conference mirrors Wilson’s peace efforts. It questions whether today’s delegates can surpass his achievements, or repeat his concessions amid insurmountable obstacles. The central measure remains whether talks reduce war likelihood and warfare burdens, with battleships symbolizing debts of arms.
Ten years ago today the common council planned to authorize water meters for all public buildings to ensure charges reflect actual usage. The article also notes revival meetings in La Crosse and various civic and business developments in the area, including incorporation inquiries and local industry chatter.
Readable reminiscence recounts a Saturday fire at the Gilcugss building district. Witnesses describe smoke filled upper floors, ladders, escaping victims, and workers at the Kane Company fire HQ recalling perilous rescues.

A family spends a night at a cabin where eerie noises prompt superstitions about a ghost. The mother fears the wail and, after sleeplessness, the father investigates with a lantern and finds a heap of broken bottles arranged to sound like a specter when wind blows. They return to the house to end the haunting with a shovel.
A fragmentary parable depicts a barber who values labor and conversation over fair pricing. The sage advises on restraint and discipline, noting the barber’s miserliness in tips and the customer’s struggle with sobriety. The tale ends with the barber quitting the craft to reflect on his failures.
The passage traces a chaotic scene at a school event with dancing, nervous performers, and a mix of names and fragments. Figures like Ma Brown and Samy appear among disjointed actions, while editors hint at a public notice and classroom dynamics.
